Chapter 3

I don't know what he's talking about. Is there anything I've done wrong in the past for him to kidnap me and enslave me? I don't even know him.

"Why should I be accountable?" I was wide-eyed. I subconsciously said what was bothering me.

"Don't ask." Alpha strangled me, and his body radiated a murderous aura. I took his hand in mine and begged him to take his hands off my neck; I was having trouble breathing. But Alpha pressed harder on my neck, and I closed my eyes.

If today is the day, I die. I will not be angry at the Moon Goddess.

"Don't ask anything. You just need to obey me to replace them." Alpha growled. I could no longer smell alcohol on his body, indicating I would die soon.

"Alpha." Screams and footsteps reached my ears. Alpha was furious at them for stopping him from strangling me. The warriors asked Alpha to wake and tell him he almost killed me.

I coughed and held my sore neck. I inhaled too many breaths in to fill my empty lungs.

"Alpha!" The two warriors were shocked and panicked when the crazy Alpha passed out. Then they carried Alpha out of this room, and they never forgot to lock the door to keep me from escaping.

Alpha strangled me drunk for the first time. He's always been terrifying.

"What did he mean? Did I replace someone? Who has done something wrong, me or someone else?" These three questions haunted my mind for two days. I can't sleep well and eat deliciously.

If I find the answer, I'll understand why that crazy Alpha kidnapped, imprisoned, and claimed me as his slave. I was confused about who I should ask. The warriors and Omega will not speak to me.

I was surprised to hear the howling of the wolves. I rushed to watch the situation outside through the ventilation, even though I knew I could see nothing but the sky. I believe this room is at the top of the tower.

"The River Square Pack and the River Triangle Pack attack the pack. They smashed the gate, and Alpha ordered all warriors to fight them." The scream of a warrior reached my ears.

I stare at the door. This pack is under attack! Gosh, this is the first time I've heard of this pack being attacked in over a year of living in this room.

The wolves' howls and growls made me shudder. I sat on the edge of the bed and hugged my body as if I felt pain all over my body. My brain replays the moment I discovered my mother dead on the battlefield.

"Those painful memories broke my heart."

'Lavanya, remember I am always with you. Your mother died a hero, and she is already happy with the Moon Goddess.' My wolf said softly.

Ilona is right. I shouldn't be sad. Mother has sacrificed her life for the pack, and I want to be like her. Slowly my sadness turned into pride in her.

"The River Circle Pack was attacked by two packs that are its eternal enemies. The River Circle Pack's situation is chaotic; all warriors have descended on the battlefield to fight the enemy."

The news on television caught my attention. My eyes widen. "River Circle Pack? So this pack is the River Circle Pack." I am surprised.

'Why, Lavanya?' asked my wolf.

'This pack is very far from my pack.' I am very grateful to the two packs that attacked this pack; finally, I found out the name of this pack from the news on television.

"I want to clean your room." An omega knocked, and the warrior on guard opened the door. The Omega brought cleaning equipment. She cleaned the room and bathroom.

I watched her work. Another omega arrived to put the clothes she had washed and ironed into the wardrobe; then, she left when her work was finished.

That crazy Alpha is obsessed with cleanliness. If he finds dust stuck to the walls or cupboards, he will punish me by having intercourse in every corner of this room and the bathroom, and he will cut the salary of the omega who is in charge of cleaning this room.

"What's your name?" The Omega asked without looking at me. She focused on wiping the nightlight.

"Red."

The Omega laughed. "I know you don't like that name. I'll call your real name."

I stare at her. Only she, omega, wants to talk to me.

"Lavanya."

"I'm Friska."

"I know."

The omega chuckled. "I told you my name, yes. I forgot. You never call my name."

I don't really know her, so I don't want to call her name.

"Is it because we only meet once a week or because Alpha forbade you to talk to the omegas?" She looked at me curiously.

"I should be the one asking like that. Only you want to talk to me," I said.

She smiled. "Alpha didn't forbid us. He just threatened us not to tell you anything about him and this pack."

I smiled crookedly. I'm not surprised; I already expected it.

"But you never asked or talked to me about anything." She put down the nightlight slowly and waited for my answer with a big smile on her lips.

"Just wasting time talking to you. I won't get the information I need." I snorted.

She chuckled. Then she alternately looked at the door and me. Her face showed that she doubted. "Two packs attack the pack. The guard is weakened because all warriors must go down to the battlefield. I will assist you."

"Help?"

"I'll look at the situation. Wait a minute." She hurriedly left the room.

"What does her mean?" I didn't take her words seriously.

Two hours passed and the war was not over. I watched the war through a live broadcast on one of the television stations. I watched the war live on one of the television stations. Many dead wolves lay on the ground and were trampled by fighting wolves until their organs were scattered.

I wish that crazy Alpha were dead so I could escape this room.

"I'm weird and stupid. I said I didn't believe what the omega said, but I was waiting for the omega to open the door. I was curious to know what she meant." I took a deep breath. I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling blankly.

Bad thoughts come to me. She couldn't possibly help me get out of this room; she helped me to meet the Moon Goddess immediately. She knew I wanted to kill myself, and right now, she was looking for a knife or rope.

'Lavanya, throw away your bad thoughts. You promised not to give up. You must remain alive. Believe it; we can get out of this damn room one day.'

My wolf reminds me to hold on and believe in an unknown future. Maybe Alpha's crazy words are true, and I'll be here forever.

My eyes widened when the door opened. The Omega approached me with a big smile, and her hand was shaking two locks.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting." The Omega held my hand, and her eyes locked mine seriously. "I will help you get out of this place. Please trust me, and don't ask too much."

I stared at her in disbelief. I must be dreaming.

"Wear this." She gave me the omega uniform that she kept under her clothes. I frowned. "You have to disguise yourself. Take it easy; you don't need to worry. Many omegas work in this house, and not everyone knows each other."

I stared at the orange omega uniform in my hand. I'm worried and in doubt.

"Trust me. I am a woman, even though I am an omega of the low class, but I have a conscience. You've been here for over a year, and although Alpha doesn't come in every day, I know you're in suffering. You are not from this pack, and you should return to your pack; your family must miss you." The Omega said softly, and her eyes showed sorrow. She rubbed the back of my hand.
