All my life, the only thing running through my head is to survive. Every second, minutes, and hours was hell. I hate it, but I couldn't end it.
It's hard to breathe, the suffocating scent lingered around while my mother whimpered under different alphas every single day echoed in our small and rundown house. I want to yell, I want to plead her to stop—to not accept them anymore.
But what will happened to us? If she won't accept those alpha... Can we survive?
I do hate the way we live but I don't hate my life, I still want to survive. I want to know what is like outside, to be free.
'Freedom? Don't ever dream something you can't have. Us, omega... This is the only thing we can do to survive, to be slave for them, to satisfy their needs. Don't be delusional, happiness is only for those dominant one. Remember my words, because happiness is not for us.' I still feel her rough, skinny fingers caress my cheeks while smiling, as if her words is the sweetest thing that I can hear. As if, it's enough to comfort my wreak heart as I watch her took the last breath before I become alone in this hell.
I can't stop my hands from shaking, as I took out everything in small drawer and put it inside the black bag pack.
I'm so desperate to take the chance to runaway from all this before I lost my sanity, I can't take her place.
As I finished packing everything, I look at her cold dead body inside the room where she entertained those Alpha... I want to puke, It's sickening.
I'm sorry, mother. I'm sorry if I take advantage of your death to escape.
Tears keep falling from my eyes down to my cheeks.
If it's take my whole life to keep asking for her forgiveness, then I'll do it. But I can't take her place to paid the debt of that bastard alpha.
My father who asked a huge amount to the loan shark and lost everything in gambling, and choose to runaway and left my us to suffer.
I take away my eyes from her, and immediately run outside. As I finally got outside the coldness of winter made me shiver, but the fire inside ignite more in my chest.
With deep breathe, I gradually took step forward and as I take step away from our house, it made my heartbeat faster. I'm aware of my selfishness, but if I won't choose my self today—to save it from this cursed place then who will?
"Please take me to the bus station." I whispered as I got inside the taxi.
I only have a hundred dollar crumbled inside my pocket, and I know from the start that this won't be enough... But as long I'm away from those people, I can take my hunger even I don't eat for a week.
I held the strap of my bag tightly, feeling his intense stare from the mirror.
But he didn't say anything or ask more, I look outside the window. The fog is thick that make it hard to see what's going on in the other side.
I'm having a hard time to remember what this place look like, since it's been so long the last time my mother let me go outside my room.
It took all the courage I have to take this decision, to finally have a freedom. Hoping to end the cursed life I have.
"We're here." Only then I finally got back to my senses when the driver announced our arrival, I look outside.
I can't see any bus or train, we're in front of a abandoned building.
"B-but sir, this is not the place I s-said." My voice start to stutter, my chest thumping like crazy. I have an idea what is going on yet I become indenial, that my hope only took few minutes before it burst.
I look at the mirror and shivered as I saw the familiar hideous smile on his face, the same smile I always saw in small hole in my room—in those alphas' face-whenever they hear my mother pleaded them to not do it rough.
As if they enjoy my mother struggle, like it's their satisfaction when her eyes become glassy and her body convulsed from too much exposure of dominant pheromones.
"Do you really think I don't know what kind of people who live in that abandoned district?" He chuckled deviously, "Selling you will give me more money than send you to the station, a pretty omega like you will surely give me a pretty huge money, no?"
As if a buckle of cold water poured in my head, with parted lips–I immediately held the lock and tried to open it.
"N-no, please let me go!" I keep shaking the lock but nothing change.
"Don't bother, they will come soon to get you." He said seriously while keep glancing to his phone.
And as if it's only cue they only wait, three people come out from the building. Scarred face, huge, and I can say that they are belong to people who ready to kill any moment.
One of them knock on the window in the driving seat, leaning forward when the driver finally slide down it. "Is she the one you're talking about?" He side eyes to checking me out.
"Yes, you see... She's from that famous rundown place, where omegas in debt getting thrown." He smirked.
"How can we sure it safe to take this one?" One of them asks.
"She's leaving the place on her own, no one is there watching her. I assure you that woman will get you a lot of money without any problem."
The three men look at each other... The one with cut in his eyes cleared his throat.
"Take her outside, let's see how good she is so we can talk about the price." He commanded.
"You, get out." The driver look at me and gesture his hand, but instead obeying him I shook my head aggressively.
"P-please no... Please." Words hardly came out to my mouth, there is so much word I want to say but as if my tongue forget to converse those words.
"Fuck! Just do what I say, get out!" His voice roared inside the car, he glare at me with frustration as he slammed open his door and walk toward my direction.
He open the door beside me and pull me harshly, "fucking omega, you can't even speak straight."
"N-no..." I shake my head repeatedly, tears stared to fell down to my cheeks. I try to kick him, my foot hit his jaw—made him groan but his hand hit me back.
My ear ringing, the hard slap I received made me lost my hearing and feel dizzy for a minutes.
My knees wobbled, "take this omega and give my fucking money." He push me toward the man who eye side me earlier.
"We still need to check her value," he nonchalantly said and yanked my hoodie, I cover my face and eyed with my hand. However, he grips my hand tightly to see my face.
His callous hand grip my jaw tightly, checking my face side to side.
"See? I told you, this one will bring you triple to how much you will give me! Take her, I'll promise to bring more soon!" The driver once again exclaimed.
The man finally loosen his grip but push me without carefulness to where the other men, he look at the driver with
satisfaction in his eyes. "Came inside and take the money, this one is valuable." He said.
Last night was chaos, Mrs. Winston who took care of me could not help but to looked at me with disappointment once again. While on the other hand, Alpha Dexion said nothing and left."Hmm, do you want some strawberries?" I immediately looked at Lady Charlotte when she spoke."Ah no, I'm alright. It's yours, Lady Charlotte." I genuinely smile at her, we're at her playroom. I feel relaxed with her more than I expected, maybe because she's still a child and there's no pheromones I can feel from her yet."But you intensely looking at the strawberries, I thought you like it." She giggled and bite one of it, some of the juice spilled down to her jaw so I wipe it."N-no, I'm just thinking of something.""Daddy?" She looked at me with her round eyes, expecting that she's right.I shook my head but I could feel the heat in my cheeks, "o-of course not, why would I think of Alpha Dexion. Y-you should focus eating your strawberries, lady Charlotte so we can continue playing." I tried changing the
Slowly, without haste. He walked toward me, like he's taking his time careful. Like he's aware that he's superior and no one is there to command him to hurry.I took step backward as he keep moving forward, they told me that someone will teach me to control my pheromones but why Alpha Dexion is here instead of someone else?He sighed as he stopped taking another step toward me, his left hand caressed his hair backward as if everything is frustrating and here am I asking something irrelevant. "The person who will teach you will be arrive a week later, something come up urgently."Did he went here just to inform me about it? Isn't it better if Mr. Rusco's the one who discuss some like this to me?"So, I'll teach you my self to control your damn pheromones. Like I said, I'd never wanted to accept you to stay here, it's only Charlotte who keeping you here. So, if you harm her what is the point of you being here as her Nanny?" He said sarcastically and scoffed.Oh..."You also need to fix
Early in the morning when Mr. Rusco went to my room to inform me that Alpha Dexion summoned me once again in his office, if I'm thinking right, lady Charlotte already talk to him.I haven't eaten yet I feel like I'm going to puke as I walk toward the west side of the mansion, why he have to ask me to meet him again when he already decided.When I finally got in front of his office, I stood for at least twenty minutes before it open on its own."How long are you gonna keep standing outside?" He squinted his eyes while his eyebrows shot up."I...uhmm. G-good m-morning, Alpha D-Dexion." I pursed my lips hiding how it trembled, I almost forgot how to breathe normally."Tch, come inside." He sneered and turn his back at me and went inside again, he's still cold but something sure different today. Somehow, he's more gentle...As I got inside, I keep myself beside the door. Whatever's happened, it's better if I can run outside immediately—"I won't do anything to you, so sit down and hear my
I heard some sound of insects outside the window, with heavy eyelids I gradually open my eyes. The familiar ceiling welcomed me, I look around and I'm right that it's my room."Fortunately, you finally wake up." The old woman who always look at me with hostility was now shaking her head disappointedly but with a pinch of pity in her eyes, "it's just formality to introduce your self, yet it's already failure."I could not understand what does she mean, my eyebrows creased. "W-what you m-mean, m-ma'am?"She gave out a heavy sighed and sat down to the chair beside the bed, "Alpha Dexion disapproved you to be his daughter's nanny, but we can't blame him." She stare at me, "you can't even control you pheromones properly, how can he trust you."My lips parted, I was a bit surprised since I haven't undergo in some test to see if I'm still untouched omega, seems like he doesn't want any complicated things to happened in the future. Like, someone will came and claim that I already have an owne
His office is spacious than any room I've been since I got here, and the coldness from the full blast air-conditioner added from the chill I'm feeling.He put down the pen he's holding as he shifted his position to be able to face us more, his eyes directly looking where I'm standing.Just him looking at me so intensely sending shiver down to my spine, there's nothing much emotion can be seen in his pair purple eyes. As if his eyes define the coldness of winter—"Where did you find her?" His voice is deep and rasp, as if it's coming from the underground."From bidding, I heard they'll sell someone who still untouched. She's an omega from that place yet she's untouched, I think she's the most suitable one to take care of lady Charlotte." Mr. Rusco carefully explained. "You still looking for someone who can take care of her, and since she's a lady, I can't take her now that she's growing up."The Alpha's expression soften, but the strictness of his tone remained, "How can you be so sur
"Welcome back, Rusco!" I look at the little girl who open the door with enthusiasm in her voice, but immediately step back as she finally realized my presence."Thank you, lady Charlotte. Why you're still awake?" Even though, Mr. Rusco is already old man and look a bit Rough, the gentleness in his voice is still there for the little girl."Ah... Hmm, I'm afraid to sleep alone. I'm waiting for you to keep me accompany, please read some story, Rusco!" Her voice is cute while pleadingly.Soft chuckle scape from Mr. Rusco mouth, "sorry my lady, but your father already warn me not to spoil you. You'll be six year old two weeks from now, he clearly said you should learn to do everything on your own." He explain carefully.I see the the glimpse of disappointed in her eyes, "but, I'm afraid to sleep alone, Rusco. I-I can eat and clean my self alone, but sleeping... What if those monster comeback and kill me?" She started to trembling.Mr. Rusco cupped her face, "my lady, please calm down. Tha
