CHAPTER 7

VICTORIA

I stood there frozen not knowing whether he was talking to me or his concubines. “Victoria?” I jumped a little, he was not even yelling but hearing his voice made me nervous. I lifted my head to look at him and that was when I saw the seer behind him.

I took a step back as she rushed me. “When did this happen alpha?” she asked sniffing me like a dog. “Not here, let’s go.” He turned to leave the seer followed and I still stood there. “Do you want the alpha to scold me again, what the hell are you still standing there for?” mama Joyce bellowed.

I walked slowly out avoiding making eye contact with Megan and Elisa whom I knew were glaring at me. I could feel their eyes on me. if the alpha didn’t arrive when he did, I would have been dead by now. I followed them to his study.

Jackson closed the door and locked it. he then went and sat on the couch. I couldn’t remember the last time I was there; I was seven, I wanted to play with my brother but when I got there, he threw me out like I was a plague. I never went back since then.

“What did you see?” asked Jackson but the seer ignored him and continued to walk around me in circles. “Nothing but I can smell you all over her. girl, didn’t you shower?” I opened my mouth to speak but it was so dry from the fear that nothing came out.

“Victoria, we don’t have all day, speak, did you bath?” what the hell did the man take me for? I didn’t exactly want to advertise in the pack that I slept with him, why in the Goddess’s name wouldn’t I bath.

“I did.” I finally found my words. “Do it again.” I looked at her, she didn’t believe me. “Why, what is going on?” asked Jackson, I wanted to know the same thing. What the fuck was going on. “I can’t tell now; I want her to shower again.” Jackson sighed.

He stood, “Use my room, she knows where it is.” He opened the door and left. I didn’t know who was worse, the seer or Jackson. Both their auras were dark, temperament cold and scary. “What are you waiting for? lead the way.”

I walked out heading to the alpha’s room, when we got inside the food the omegas brought was still there. My stomach growled, I felt so embarrassed. “You can eat after you take a shower.” I didn’t waste time stripping and heading to the shower.

This time I took my time enjoying the shower, I didn’t know when I would get such luck again to shower with warm water. Twenty minutes later I emerged from the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around me.

The seer frowned. Her eyes rolled back and only the white showed, I didn’t know what she was doing. But soon the door opened and in walked the alpha taking large strides getting to us. The seer was weird, others didn’t mind link like she did, if she was mind linking.

“I suggest you keep her safe for the next week.” Still the woman was walking in circles around me. it was so weird and creepy but who was I to say anything, I was nothing but a lowly omega. “What are you thinking, what do you see?”

Jackson was now anxious, he wanted answers, and I did too. But I wanted answers that were going to get me the hell away from him and away from his concubine’s radar. Those she wolves could be vicious.

I could still feel the two slaps they gave me earlier. I was an omega with no wolf; I healed the same as a human. “She took a shower, but your scent is still all over her as if you just slept with her now. back in my day a scent like this usually meant the she wolf is pregnant. But it has been so long since something like this has happened. I am afraid, I might be wrong or missing something.”

Oh, I knew then that the Goddess had indeed abandoned me. there was no way she could let me experience such hardships and still add more. Its either she abandoned me, or she was punishing me for something I did in my past life. either way, I was doomed.

I didn’t know when or how I put my dress on, but it was on me when I snapped out of it. Jackson looking at me with so much concern calling my name. “Yes, alpha.”

He turned to the seer, “Is she alright?” the seer did that walking around me again. “She is fine, shocked maybe but fine. If this is true, then she will be the first to get pregnant in nineteen years. It’s huge.” Jackson hummed.

“Come on, lay down.” He took my hand and let me to the bed. The seer brought me the food. I no longer had appetite, something in me told me that if I was pregnant then nothing good would come of it.

It might be good for the alpha but not for me. I had a bad feeling about it all. After eating both the alpha and seer left me there. I didn’t know when I fell asleep, but I was woken up by Jackson late in the evening asking me to eat something.

I spent the next week in the alpha’s room; he never touched me again since that day. But he would go in the morning for his alpha duties then come back in the evening and sleep on the couch. The week seemed to drag. Days were long with nothing to do.

My job was to eat and sleep. Go out in the balcony to get fresh air and back inside. I was grateful for the three meals a day, the warm shower, clothes, and a comfortable bed to sleep.

No one was allowed in the alpha’s room in that week, he brought me food himself, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He had little to say to me and couldn’t look me in the eyes. I didn’t mind not talking, I had nothing to say to him anyway.

I have got to get the hell out of here; I can’t keep sitting in the alpha’s room doing nothing. it was suffocating. I needed to leave the room, the pack even. I didn’t know where I was going but as long as I was out of the pack, then everything else I would figure out later. I couldn’t keep letting them abuse me the way they did.

I thought things would change overtime, but nothing has. I couldn’t wait any longer, there was no one coming to my rescue. Not the Moon Goddess or anyone else. It was me alone and I had to save myself.

I didn’t know what would happen if it turned out that I was pregnant, I might not get the chance to escape, and I didn’t want that. I paced in the study wondering if I should leave then or wait until night fall. Well, it didn’t matter, nobody paid attention to me. even I left now no one would notice.

The warriors at the boarder would, waiting till nighttime was the best choice. I needed to get as far as I could from the pack, go to a human town and blend in. work and make a life for myself. that was the only thing I could think of that could save me.

With my mind made up, I headed to the door. Just as I stopped out, Elisa and Megan were standing there. I didn’t know what they wanted or what they were doing. “I like how you just know when you want you.” Megan commented with a smirk on her face.

“Didn’t you miss us or is taking the alpha from us has made you forget who you are?” I said nothing. Elisa stepped forward and I took two steps back. “I heard something I need clarity on.” She said with her eyes turning to the golden of her wolf.

My heart picked up pace. I didn’t want another stab would or worse. “Are you pregnant?” I quickly shook my head in the negative. “Then why is the alpha keeping you locked up in here, you are lying to us?” a slap landed on my face. Then I was pushed inside and the door closed.

I knew I was going to get a beating, but this time I didn’t want to just let it happen. I wanted to fight back, I was tired of being bullied, I never asked the alpha to keep me in his room. why did they blame me for something I had no control over.

“Speak!” Megan shouted. I stood there defiantly with my head held hight. “Oh, you think you are safe because we are in here, because the alpha gave you a little attention?” she laughed and charged at me.

She tried to slap me, but I dodged, I was surprised by the audacity I had to do that. Elisa got angry and shifted halfway, her nails turning into sharp weapons as she charged at me. I didn’t know how, but I stood firm then let out a scream so loud it shuttered the windows.

Elisa stopped looking at me shocked. “What the fuck did you do, you witch!” she charged again lunging at me. I pushed her so hard she went through the door breaking it in half and landed outside. The last thing I saw was the alpha standing there looking at me with his eyes wide then I passed out.
