Time To Go.

I woke up the next day in alot of pain. I clutched my hurt wrist to my side cradling it.

I looked over at my clock, noticing it was late in the afternoon, I began to sit up on my cot.

Luna Athena would be livid but I didn't care right now.

I dragged myself out of the bed, slowly looking down at my torn clothes.

I knew I needed a shower hoping that would help my sore muscles. I unlocked my door and looked around the hall listening for anyone coming.

Once I knew no one was coming I ran to the showers.

Locking the door immediately, I let go of the breath I was holding.

I began to strip the torn clothes from my body as I walked towards the shower turning the water on scolding hot.

I lathered up some soap on a loofah and started washing myself. I could feel a panic attack coming on thinking about everything that happened.

The violent memories of last night playing in my head. I scrubbed harder at my skin until it was raw.

“I dont know what i did to deserve this” i said quitly to myself.

Sitting down against the wall of the shower I could feel the tears falling.

After awhile I began thinking about the voice I heard in my head. It was such an odd feeling like somthing was trying to break through and communicate to me.

After a while the water ran cold so I decided to finally get out.

I grabbed a towel to dry off quickly. I picked up my clothes dressing in a long t-shirt and sweatpants just wanting to hide my very bruised body.

I unlocked the door and walked out of the showers thinking it would be best to get to cleaning before Athena punished me.

I would rather spend the rest of my day curled up on my cot But I knew it would be better to go downstairs before I caused more trouble for myself.

Walking down to the kitchen I saw Willow and Jax along with other omegas running around frantically trying to get the food prepared for Cain's birthday and alpha ceremony.

Jax and Willow were both cooking when I saw them stop, sensing I was here. They both looked up at me.

I watched as their faces looked at me with concern.

I felt my sleeve roll up my arm causing Jax to notice my very bruised wrist.

“Thank goddess! where were you? I was scared you got in trouble again.”

“Star, what happened to your wrist?

I quickly pulled it down. I could feel the bile rise up in my throat just thinking about how I got it.

Jax looked at my face seeing the tears begin to fall.

Willow grabbed onto my hand pulling me into the pantry sensing something was very wrong.

I felt as Jax grabbed my hand from willow pulling me into his chest holding me tightly.

“Shhh. It's okay, breathe Star. No one is going to hurt you.”

He started rubbing my back in small circles trying to calm me down.

“He… Cain he… tried to…” I sobbed in between words.

“I’M GOING TO KILL HIM!” Willow said walking over wrapping her arms around me tight in the front.

Both of my friends were clinging to me and I didnt want them to ever let me go.

“I’ll kill that fucker! He’s breaking pack law, he should be severely punished or worse!”

I felt Jax removing his hands from my waist I knew he was going to find Cain.

I couldn’t let him do it, cain would punish us both and no one would believe me anyways, I was just a worthless omega.

“Please, don’t. I’ll be gone tomorrow anyways. Just promise me you wont do anything! Promise me jax! I couldn’t stand the thought of him hurting you because of me.”

he was staring at the floor frustration all over his face. I could tell he was struggling internally.

“Okay star, I promise I won't but please don't leave my side today if I hear them coming I’ll quickly hide you away.”

“I promise.”

We all walked out of the pantry ready to get back to work.

The rest of the day went by pretty smoothly and luckily we didn't see the Alpha and Luna.

After the long day I had, Jax decided to walk me to my room.

Pulling me towards him, he wrapped his arms around my waist, moving his hand towards my face tucking a stray hair away.

I could feel my cheeks redden.

“Star, I know by tomorrow you will be gone, but I just want you to know that I love you, even though we aren't mates. I know you have a mate out there that will cherish you.”

he smiled down at me sadly.

“But how do you know? I don’t even have a wolf.”

He hazel brown eyes bore into mine slowly leaning down kissing me softy on the lips.

I was shocked at first but I wasn’t upset. It felt nice but there were no sparks.

Jax slowly let me go, looking at me for the last time.

“I hope I have the honor of seeing you again one day Star, promise me you’ll be safe and call me.”

My heart squeezed painfully knowing this would be the last time we spoke.

I watched for a moment as he disappeared to his room.

I opened my door, moving inside quick.

I couldn’t even believe what just happened. My mind was reeling.

“That was my first kiss.” I said to myself touching my lips where his had once been.

I made my way to my bed laying down, sleep came fast for me.

I woke up slowly the next morning opening my eyes, I looked up at my clock seeing it was 5am.

Today was the day I ran away, sure there were other things happening today, but I didn’t care. I was only excited for one thing and that was leaving this pack!

I gathered a small backpack I had kept for school, putting some clothes and other essential into it.

Under my bed I had my money in an old shoe box I began to pull out.

I took the money and put it in my backpack, shoving the backpack back under my bed so when I came back later tonight to leave I could grab it and run.

I decided on taking a quick shower, knowing I couldn’t take one until I had gotten a place.

I walked out of my room and headed towards the showers.

Before I was about to walk into the bathroom someone tapped on my shoulder. Out of instinct i went combative and hit the person in the stomach.

Once I looked up seeing willow with a pained expression I gasped.

“I’m so, so, sorry willow! You should know not to sneak up on me like that.”

She had a pained expression on her face “it’s okay star but when did you get so strong.”

She held her stomach for a moment taking deep breaths. Watching her do this made me laugh.

if looks could kill I thought.

“I just came to give you these clothes for tonight, orders from Alpha Cain.”

I picked up the clothing from her hands lifting it up to see what is was.

“Is this some kind of punishment, you cant be serious.”

Willow looked irritated staring at the outfit in my hands.

“He really wants us to wear this?”

“Unfortunately yes, he said this would be a permanent outfit for the young maids. I told him I wouldn’t wear something so degrading so he threatened to hurt you if I didn’t.

Willlow looked down at the ground with a solum look on her face.

“ I really wish you would come with me willow, I know your reasons, but we would be safer.”

She looked up at me embracing me in a hug.

“I know what you’re thinking Star, I’m not smart for staying here and I know it. I just can’t leave. I truly fear what he might do if we leave and besides I’m not as strong as you are.”

She handed me the outfit and began walking away.

I couldn’t even say anything. I knew she was right if Cain saw we all had run away, he would kill us.

I quickly made my way into the shower. Stepping into the hot water I washed my hair and body, finishing quickly I got out and dried off.

I tossed my hair into a quick bun. Taking one last look at the maids outfit slipping it over my head. I felt so disgusted.

I made my way down to the kitchen to help finish with last minute party preparations for tonight.
