Let Me Go, Alpha

AUDREY POV

“NO!” I blurted out, falling to my knees as I bring my hand forward and block a second slap. 

All attention fell on me, My whole body was bruised and every single place hurt.

  It had not been enough that all the warriors had punished me for forgetting to iron the uniforms yesterday but now, I was expected to take yet another hefty punishment before retiring to bed.

“Mistress Mary Ann, please. please forgive me. I forgot about the clothes because I had been so busy cleaning all the Servant quarters and helping with the new cutlery in the kitchen. I did not…”

A hefty slap landed on my face before I finished speaking, resounding all through the hall as tears cascaded down my cheeks. 

“You worthless little thing. you had me reprimanded by the Alpha and now you feel the need to apologize?’’ She shouted angrily and in disgust directed towards me. 

  I could hear the gasps of all the other servants around me, None of them dare to do something. if that happened, then they will also be joining in this torture. 

We have been taught and raised to take all the beatings without complaining, to suffer in silence. As an Omega in black diamond Park, rebelling against our superiors is unheard of.

“Please,” I cried out, wiping the tears and trying to ignore the stinging pain across my cheek.

     I don't know how many times I have been slapped or punished in the past week. The events that were being planned in the pack were just so many that it was more difficult to handle all the workload given to us. More and more servants had been given the same punishment. But it would seem that today was my unlucky day.

“ That's right. you should be begging,because that's all you're capable of doing. you bring no benefit to this pack and you are nothing more than a slave.’’

 Slave.

You'd be surprised how many times that would have been used ridiculously to describe it. Being at the alpha's mercy meant that these people got to call us whatever the hell they wanted. 

 Mary Ann went down, bringing her wrinkly fingers towards my chin as she forced me to look up at her. 

She smelled beautiful. 

She always smiled and because of the countless perfumes that she always put on, have always filled in the room. 

As servants of black diamond Pack, we are entitled to a salary that accommodates the services that we offer, But Mary Ann who is the head of all Omegas, or as they like to call us, ‘ slaves.’ has been receiving our salaries on behalf of Us, and yet not a single dime enters our pockets.

    Anyone who tried to stand against her ended up disappearing, "silenced". 

The alpha knows about it but he displays no problem with it. As long as all the Omegas are well trained and disciplined then he couldn't care less.

“ Now you listen to me, you little shit.’’ She says, drops of saliva spatting onto my face. “I am responsible for every lesser slave in this Pack and I will not have you Parade yourself as an entitled little sheet. you do whatever the hell you're told with no questions. you take the punishments given to you without an argument. if I say you haven't done something properly then you have not done it properly. if I complain about your productivity then You're only supposed to answer with ‘yes ma'am.’ am I properly understood?’’

 I look up at her, trying to control the flow of Tears. I don't know why I was f****** crying. I had gone through much worse than this. 

But today has been different. 

It would seem that everyone just had something against me. Being beaten up by the Warriors wasn't enough. I had to be punished for simply existing. For not bowing my head whenever they looked at me. 

For not disappearing from their presence immediately they entered the rooms. For not looking humble enough while I served anything to them.

“Yes ma'am,” I speak, looking into her eyes.

    I can see an expression of satisfaction on her face. She has always loved feeling superior. instilling fear. Was there ever going to be a day where I tasted freedom?

“Very good,” she said, nodding her head as she released my chin and stood to her feet.

MaryAnn had always been an elderly woman. At the early age of 50, she was a mean woman who looked for any apparent reason to make our lives a living hell. Rumors are that she used to have a child who act as a servant just like every one of us. But she was murdered by the daughter of the alpha for accidentally spilling the tea on her dress. I have never known Marianne to be anything different than a monster.

“ May I go now?” I find the courage to ask after noticing that all the other omegas around as it already started disappearing into the Chambers and others into the tasks assigned to them.

 But to my question, Maryann returns a hefty mocking laughter where she looks at me yet again as though I was a joke to the wolf nature.

“Oh my darling, the Warriors have decided that you have not been properly punished for your incompetence today. I'm sure they have a lot of creative ideas to make you fully understand that in this Park, duties are assigned for a reason.’’

‘’But Miss Maryann, I was only unable to do those things because you overloaded me with other duties while I was supposed to be going through..’’

 Another heavy slap lands on my face before I have a moment to react.

‘ don't you ever mention my name in the excuses you create for yourself? I gave you more work because you are a slave. My job is not to figure out how you will do all your tasks at once. what have I told you about answering back to me? How have I told you you should respond whenever I'm talking to you? it seems that you never f****** learn. I'm going to teach you.’’

And with the utterance of that statement, she had proceeded to grip my hair tightly dragging me towards the back entrance of the kitchen and to the large well that was situated right behind it. 

My eyes widened with horror as I tried to run, but she was stronger than me. And I was frail and fragile and so tired from the day's work and the torture I had already received. 

   Standing next to that well that most of the other warriors that had taken turns telling me earlier today. 

The sinister expressions on their faces have not faded, they were excited. Excited to torture an innocent person. Excited to make my life a living hell.

 All I could think about while I was dragged towards the large water body, is whether the moon goddess abandoned and left other lesser beings like myself.
