The Omegas Cry

Eloise Uriel Cromwell’s POV

My mind couldn’t wash away the feelings of that stranger’s lips bore into mine. I did not know that life can be really that rewarding. I’ve had the chance to spend my night in a man’s bed. Who knows how to make me happy? Suddenly, all the work here is worth the restlessness. 

I live under the same roof as Master Giovanni, the beta of the Silver Fangs pack. With that in mind, I have been enslaved to his daughter, Hannah, who did nothing but make my life miserable.

She was the one giving me orders. Something I never ditched doing―I fear she’ll be mad and order her men to beat me to death just like the old times.

Carrying the bucket of water and a few rugs, I went inside to clean the floors. 

“Where have you been last night?” I was startled to hear Master Giovanni behind me. It was as if a huge barrel of ice had been poured down my head. “An orphan like you does not have anyone to meet. What were you thinking of escaping my manor, huh?!” His voice echoed all around the room.

I fell to my knees even though there was too much dirt on the floor, I am already used to it. I know, I shouldn’t have followed Hannah out and gone astray… she won’t save me when things go wrong. She will just blame everything on me.

“I am so sorry, sir… I was just―I needed to buy something in the capital.” I tried my best not to stutter. I could feel his anger flowing down through my veins and how he was looking at me like I should be punished. 

I do not want to be imprisoned in the dark scary room again and be caged like a crow. The scars I have had from being tied into rusty sharp chains are still here and the bruises I got from all their beating never fade away.

I crumpled the sheets of my old dirty dress as I looked down, bowing my head on me. He crouched down to be on the same level as me, placed his huge calloused hand over my chin, and forced me to face him. 

He was grappling so much that it started to hurt my jaw. As if, he had intended to break my bones in two. “Who do you belong to?” He whispered. 

Master Giovanni’s eyes were fierce and scary, I could not bring myself to stare at it. “Sir, you-you’re hurting me…” I tried to remove his hands by placing my small palms into his fingers but the grip he had on my face. 

It cannot be helped. A weak omega like me will be no match for him… he’ll just end up hurting me further if I resist.

But should I say I belong to him? To his clan? Am I just a possession that they can treat as a punching bag whenever their fists need something to land on?

All my life… I have served this family without fail. I took all the blows, I did not object. Ever since I was born, I have always been aware that an omega like me will meet such a fate but when will I be free? Is this the exchange for the happiness I had last night? 

I am tired… of being harassed by this family. 

Master Giovanni forced me to look at him, he could already lift my small body from sitting. “Do I have to repeat myself?” I knew he hated speaking the same words over and over again.

“I belong to you, Sir,” I whispered in the air. A surge of disgust went rushing through my veins and the way a curl escaped his lips upon hearing those made me want to run away from this home and never come back.

“Good girl, just like what I expected.” He finally heard what he had always wanted to hear. 

Tears started flowing down my eyes as he let me go. I touched my chin to slightly ease the pain but I only saw blood in it. I heard his footsteps fade into thin air so I stood up from the floor, with other people’s eyes bore in mine, and ran upstairs.

My stomach turned upside down, it was a very creepy stand. I leaned my back by the first door that I saw only to hear a familiar voice coming from the inside. 

Thousands and thousands of electric volts were sent on my nerves as I felt like my soul just escaped my body. Is it what I think… it is?

I took a small peek by the door only to see Hannah, on top of a guy, riding up his body like it was nothing. “Hmm… Ngghh, faster!” Her passionate moans sent me to the edge as I recalled what happened last night. 

The way she screamed in a high-pitched tone as I watched her give the man a head sent chills down my spine. I do not want to watch it any longer but seeing how Hannah enjoys herself a company, I felt curious.

I was about to leave the room when my eyes met the gaze of the man she was having sex with. 

I was frozen in my stand… I couldn’t even move an inch or two. The way his gaze was staring deep into my soul as he thrusted and made love with Hannah in front of me… as he kissed her neck and bit her skin to leave passionate marks, why do I feel like I am hurt?

Why am I seeing… the man that I’ve had a night stand with… making love with Hannah?

Out of all the people he could have shared beds with, why her? Why with the woman who caused nothing but trouble to me? Why… does he have to do it with the beta’s daughter? 

What happened between us last night, does it mean nothing? The way he kissed me deeply, complimented each part of my body, why did he do those? Why do I feel like I am being betrayed by the very same person who has made me feel alive and by the only person who caused me hell?

All my life, I have been so used to giving Hannah everything. My life, my service, even my soul―she had everything easy. So why can’t she just give me this one? Why can’t she just let me live and finally have someone to call mine?

I felt like I was being stabbed multiple times in my chest, I could not breathe. The clear sight I had of them eventually became blurry, my ears refusing to hear all their moaning. 

I was about to go out when I hit the pale of water, created a loud thud noise, and poured them all over the floor. 

Fuck…
