Chapter Three

Elena's POV 

The two guards led me out of the dungeons, moving towards the maid quarters. The tears never seized from my face. I wanted to fight but I was too tired. I was an ordinary omega. I would not be able to win this fight even if I wanted to.

They got to the maid quarters and threw me to the ground and left. I looked around before standing up to see the maids whispering to themselves but to my hearing.

“Look at her now, reduced to us, so weak like the humans. She thought she would be the Luna of this pack, wolfless” one maid said

I could say nothing to that as I walked to the wardrobe and another maid spoke.

“At least we are maids, but we are far better than her, we all have wolves.” she said, laughing. 

I grabbed one of the maids uniform but before I could take it off the line, a maid yanked it out of my hand. “How dare you touch my clothes?” she yelled.

“Leila asked me to-”

“This is yours” another maid said behind me, tossing a sack on the ground.

“But-”

“Oh don't argue with me. If you wish to, speak to the Luna” the maid sneered at me.

I stared at the sack in shock. “You need to hurry or you might lose your life soon” one maid said and they laughed, leaving the room.

Even though I didn't want to, I picked up tht sack and hurried into the bathroom to change locking the door behind me. I couldn't believe I've been lowered to a maid. I was just an omega but now I was a slave.

I could not freshen up, noting I only had five minutes and I was already late. I wore the dress looking at myself in the mirror. A drop of tears escaped my eyelids staring at my reflection. I stepped out of the room when a maid came towards me. 

“Hey! Slave, don't look at me that way” she said as I stared at her in anger.

I was not a slave and I could never be. “Whatever issues you have, go to the Luna” she sighed then continued. “Luna Liela requested a drink and has asked you to bring it to her, hurry up and go give it to her, you don't want to keep her waiting” she said. 

She left almost immediately, not telling me what type of wine she wanted. I opened the refrigerator in the kitchen and picked out the red wine, poured some into an wine glass and places it on a white tray.

I walked to the Alpha's chambers shaking. I was weak and from crying so much, my body needed the rest but could I say that to them? I knocked twice and was ushered in with the sound of Liela's voice. I took a short breath before I opened the door and stepped in.

I got in looking around to see if I could find Alpha North, but he wasn't in.

“Luna Liela, your wine” I said, bowing my head. I hated doing this but if I didn't, I feared what she would do to me.

She stood from where she sat, taking the glass of wine. Taking one look at it,she dropped it back on the tray I was holding. 

“This is not the wine I requested, you slave,” she said, looking at me with hatred and disgust. 

“You didn't really specify the one you wanted” I said.

“Are you speaking to my Luna in that manner, have you lost it?” Alpha North questioned.

He stepped into the room, his aura filling the room. He stood beside Leila, glancing at the wine on the tray. 

“But I was saying the truth, she didn't really say anything on the one she wanted” I said 

“You have the guts to talk to me in such a manner, Guards!” he commanded, the guards stepping into the room, bowing before Alpha North spoke.

“Give her fifteen lashes with the silver chains” he instructed 

The guards walked towards me as I quickly fell on my knees trying to plead with him. Silver chains were deadly to wolves. They were used as torture materials for servants and slaves. Unlike other whips which would not be able to inflict sufficient pain on wolves, the silver chains would do worse and make it hard for them to heal themselves. If that was used on me, I doubted I would be able to make it.

“I'm sorry, Alpha, I'll go get the right drink for her” I pleaded. 

“Don't worry, my love. She should just go get another one” Leila said and turned to me. “Get out and get my drink!”

I quickly got to my feet, heading out with the wine and tray when Liela spoke

“Wait,” she said 

The moment I turned around, she grabbed the drink and poured it all over my face. My mouth open, shocked at what just happened. 

“Now you can go, you have just two minutes to get my wine” she said 

I left the room, the wine dripping from my face. I got to the kitchen, getting a towel to dry my face with. I got the wine, and I hurriedly back to the Alpha chambers. I didn't knock and stepped in and was met with Alpha North half naked on the bed with Leila under him.

A moan escaped from Leila's lips, sinking into my mind and I quickly turned around to leave as fresh tears returned to my face. Before I could grab the doorknob, Alpha North spoke

“Don't move” he commanded, freezing me to the spot.

He got off Liela who looked happy to know I saw them together. Alpha North grabbed his clothes, and slowly putt them on before turning to Liela. “Leave us” he instructed.

Leila's smile disappeared as she glanced at me then returned it to him. "What do you mean?” she asked.

Alpha North said nothing to her so she adjusted her dress and walked out of the room, glaring at me as she did so. I wanted to leave so I could cry and get rid of this pain in my chest but it was too much.

“I'm sorry” I heard him say.
