"Natalie, please stop. We have to leave now!" I kept saying while pulling her at the same time. 

"Natalie--

Derek Stones, Brittany's brother, and future Alpha of the Crimson Pack reached the scene with his guards before I could do anything. My breathing hitched as I stepped back, momentarily staring away from his burning gaze. 

Immediately, the guards stepped in and tore Natalie off, helping Brittany to her feet. 

Natalie was now calm but I could see the fear emanating from her gaze. 

"What happened here?" Derek bellowed, murderously glaring at me. 

Dramatically, Brittany's burst into wails, her chest falling and rising heavily as she pointed an accusing finger at me. 

"She caused it! She started it. Just because I corrected her for a wrongdoing, she ordered her friend to hit me. That cursed Omega put her hands on me! Look at my neck, she fuckin bit me!" 

"What? That's a lie. You started it, you slapped me first and abused us." 

"Now, she's calling me a liar," Brittany further wailed. "You pathetic bitch!" 

"But you're not telling him the truth--

"Enough!" Derek thundered, putting his arm around Brittany and drawing her protectively to his side while glaring murderously at me.

"You, how dare you call her a liar," Derek lashed his voice at me, "and telling your accomplice to hit her, are you crazy?!" 

Derek's eyes were filled with contempt and hatred. At this point, I knew my defense was futile. What was I expecting, that he would believe me over his sister? 

A cursed Omega?

Even if he knew she was in the wrong, Derek would ignore it as long as I was involved. He would take the chance to watch me suffer.

While I was just a cursed helpless Omega, Brittany was the Alpha's daughter. They were powerful wolves.

 All my life, I had hoped for a day that I would be considered, trusted, and not taken for granted because of my position. 

But now I knew better. That day would never exist. Brittany was right. I'm a slave who deserved to be trampled on and made to work tirelessly until my death. This was my fate. The life of an Omega.

A tear slid down my cheek and I hastily wiped it off. 

I felt Natalie's palm comfortingly intertwining with mine but I gently brushed it off and fell to my knees. 

"I apologize, future Alpha Derek. Brittany is right, I was wrong for calling her a liar. We never should have fought her, we should have remembered our places. We're just slaves and nothing compared to you. Please pardon us just this once with your subtle heart." 

I rubbed my palms together as I begged. Reluctantly, Natalie fell to her knees beside me.

"She's right. But it was all my fault, it was me who hit Brittany and for this, I apologize. It will never happen again," she said with a grudge. 

"No," Derek said after a brief silence and my gaze went up to meet him, "your apologies are not accepted." 

My heart leapt into my mouth, rendering me speechless. 

"No one raises their hands on the Alpha's daughter and live, especially mere servants," he bellowed. 

"Please," I started to shake my head ferociously when he began walking towards Natalie, "please, no."

Natalie shuddered as he easily grabbed her off the floor and pulled her away from me. 

"Please let her go. Please, I beg you!" Tears streamed down her face. "It was all my fault, I started it so please take me instead. Please let her go and take me instead.." my cries fell on deaf ears and Derek handed Natalie to his guards.

"Behead her on the stake and light her body up," he ordered brutally.

"No!" 

Brittany's wail increased again, fueling her brother's wrath. "Ah! It hurts so bad!" 

 I found a smirk tugging at her lips. The bite on her neck was healing fast since she was of the Alpha's bloodline but Brittany didn't stop her false wailing. 

I knew she was trying to get her brother to not change his mind and it worked perfectly. The guards began dragging Natalie away. 

I immediately crawled to Derek and held his foot, "please kill me instead. I'm telling you it was all me, Natalie did nothing. I instigated it all, so please just kill me instead." 

"You crossed the line this time, Omega." He hollered at me. "I gave you so many chances but you just had to go past your limit." 

Natalie's increasingly distant pleas drove into my ears and I held tighter onto Derek's leg, restricting his movement. 

One glance at Brittany's face told me begging her was a helpless cause, so I turned to Derek again, resting my forehead on his shoe. 

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, please spare my friend's life. Give me one more chance, just this once I beg you, I'll do anything you want. I'll be more faithful to you, I'll give you anything, just please spare her life." sweat mixed with tears and mucus smeared my face but I made no move to wipe it off. 

"No more chances for you, Omega. Because of you, your friend will die. I hope this shows you not to cross your limit next time." 

Derek said and kicked me hard in the face, my upper lip tore open and started to bleed.

I tumbled over and while I struggled to get up, Derek walked away with Brittany. 

Natalie's voice continued to echo in the hall as I got up on my feet. 

I have to save her! 

I raced down the hall and stopped at the exit. I tilt my head forward, trying to catch her sound. 

"Nat!" I loosely fisted my hand over my mouth and yelled. "Natalie!" 

"Save me, El. Please, save me." 

Faintly, I caught the sound of her voice. 

Meticulously, I began trailing it and it led me toward the exit of the hotel. I swung the door open and was about to run out when I bumped into someone. 

I staggered, caught my balance quickly, and started for the door again but my legs subjectively stopped when my path got obstructed.

Nat's voice started to get weak and distant,, her scent fading.

Paula's gaze was blazing as she stood in my path, "Where the hell do you think you're going during work hours?!"

    -My fingers ran through the gemstones, a grin resting on my face. "This is forever beautiful," I cried, letting him twirl me around gently until I was facing him. "You sure you don't want this one instead?" He asked, referring to the expensive gold necklace on his palm, seated in a jewelry box. "That one is a bit old.""I'm sure," I beamed. "It was through this necklace that I was able to know that you were alive. I was ready to give up to Ryker. I had prepared to die after he killed the warriors, but this gave me a reason to live."As I spoke, I remembered the Rogue maid who had lost her life for revealing Ace's situation to me. Bless her soul. I was alive because of her too. "To me, this is the most beautiful jewelry in the world, and it is important to me because it is important to you, too."Ace nodded, his eyes lighting up. I could sense that he had briefly recalled a part of his past. It was the day of the coronation for Ace's new position and we were in our room after get

    -My thumping heartbeat decelerated as I stared at Derek's lifeless body, my eyes filling up with tears of relief and gratefulness. Ace dug his claws into Derek's chest, uprooting his heart and signifying the end of the war. Like a whiff, all the memories and history I had with Derek raced through my mind. "It's finally over," I heard Acantha sigh, and the tears dropped from my eyes. It was really over. Derek was dead! It was over for good. My nose crinkled in disbelief, my eyes furrowing as the reality settled within me. My gaze shifted to Ace and despite the loud chants and celebration, I could hear the beating of my heart clearly. Despite the amount of people around, my eyes could somehow only see Ace. Amongst the crowd hovering around him, his gaze found me, too, and before I could burst, I swooped into his arms. He caught me easily and I buried my face into his chest, releasing my emotions shamelessly. Two of our greatest enemies were now gone for good!Ace nuzzled his face

    -Ace held my hand, stopping me from getting any closer to Derek. "This is not over, I promise you," he gritted, his eyes sending daggers at me.We watched quietly as he contested with the pain, trying to subdue it. He attempted to get up several times, cussing violently every time he failed; his eyes were filled with rage and determination as he continuously tried to move. After a final hectic attempt, he crashed to the ground and burst into laughter. "It's funny how easily fooled you can be, Ace," he cackled, blood dripping slightly from the side of his lip.I figured he was trying to buy time and gather his strength again so he could take us unaware but before I could act, Ace charged at him. "No, it's funny how you think you can stall me while you buy some fuckin time," Ace grabbed him up roughly. "Why?" Derek scoffed, feigning strength even though he was limping. "You're scared I'd beat your ass up if I wasn't in this situation?""We both know what the truth is-"Then why d

    -Ace glared at Derek, making sure his body obstructed mine."You will have to go through me first to have her!"Derek's steps faltered, and he seemed even more angry. "If that is what you want then I shall do as you please and get rid of you.""You seem to use your mouth a lot, don't you?" Ace scoffed. "I use it better, too; you can ask your little mate to tell you what I mean."I put my palm in Ace's, ensuring he held me, and preventing him from rashly going at Derek. Derek was trying hard to provoke him and it made me wonder what he was up to. "We had a little fun while you were out there in the wilderness, struggling to survive."I opened my mouth to speak and vehemently curse at Derek for lying but Ace beat me to it. "She must not have liked it as much as you think seeing how she still tricked and escaped from you. She came back to me, that should tell you a lot of things.""Still she betrayed you!""Oh Derek," Ace breathed out, "you don't get it, do you? What matters is whos

    -We stood in the open, ensuring that the passage to our secret safehouse was out of sight. Everyone took their position, mine was beside Ace, as we heard the enemy's footsteps approaching. I held my breath, trying not to squirm under Ace's hold. I knew he would at once detect my discomfort and send me back in. I didn't want that; I wanted to face Derek; I burned to see him fall with my own eyes. Derek showed up first, leading the warriors of his pack; he growled and roared as they approached us, arrogantly announcing his presence. Ace moved me to stand behind him and I stayed without arguing. I took the chance to fix my discomfort, ensuring that I showed no weakness in front of Derek. "What a surprise, it is indeed true that you survived. Fuckin luck," Derek mocked, scoffing at Ace. "Well, it's too bad because this time, you're going to the land of the dead, and there is no escaping it.""If I were you, I'd do more fighting and less talking. Did you forget you're in my territory?"

    -With Henry's suggestion, we swiftly gathered around. He had already drawn out a quick plan on how we were going to face Derek and his goons, and he discussed it with Ace. Inputting Acantha's suggestion, we came to a conclusion on how to face our attackers. Ace stepped out and dished the instructions and everyone immediately set to work. Leaving out the pups, younger and ailing wolves aside, the rest of us came together to be grouped in smaller forms. There were many hidden parts of the Ocean Howls pack that the Crimson pack or any other pack was not aware of. Ace had reconstructed the country after his father's defeat in a way that we would mostly have the upper hand against the enemy. That was a big advantage for us. Ace regrouped the warriors into ten smaller groups and individually gave them a goal, coordinating each group separately. Some groups were focused on studying maps of the Ocean Howls Pack territory and securing strategic locations for refuge in case our attackers
