*ARIANNA’S POV*This is the most ridiculously revealing dress I had ever had the displeasure of putting on. I guess that was the point. Humiliate me till I lose every will to fight. I was definitely on the verge of giving up. Davison seemed to think it was a faze and it would pass. Easy for him to say. He did not have to stand behind a 6 ft 5 deranged Alpha wearing this silly dress. I have followed him to meetings, lunches, and every outing that I had no business being at. I was convinced he was extending these outings just so he could extend my humiliation. Now we were inspecting a construction site. Something the pack was working on and would benefit from. Looking at all the business he did and how the pack was growing I could tell he wasn’t a bad leader. I just could not reconcile the good leader with my personal torturer, which is what he had become these last weeks.How long has it been since I was sold to him like a piece of unwanted property? I

*LUCIANO’S POV*“Shut the door” I say to her. I don't even know what I am about to say. What happened to me last night? It was definitely Dave. Trying to get me to treat her more humanely. She is an omega. She doesn’t deserve any form of humane treatment. Omegas were a plague on any pack they were born into. I knew that first hand.I take off my cufflinks and roll up my sleeves. They had their uses but I wasn’t going to wear them the whole day. “You, what to do with you?” I ask as I take my seat. She stands there looking helpless and pitiful. It almost works. If I didn’t know how much of a liability Omegas were I would actually take pity on her. So what was last night about? That silly voice in the back of my head asks again. I growl very loudly, as if that would make the voice shit up. She stiffens at the sound of my growl, she did that every time. My hand twitches and I reach for a pen. I don’t want to entertain the thought that I was r

*ARIANNA’S POV*Andrew had been keeping me company at the bar for most of the night. He left occasionally to mingle but always found his way back to the bar to check on me. The lounge manager had insisted I not leave the bar as I had zero experience working here. I was giving grunt work. Cleaning glasses, cutting lime wedges, refilling the ice box. It was stressful but it kept me out of Luciano’s sight.I had been dreading tonight’s task but Luna must be smiling down at me. Imagine my surprise when the hot wolf that smiled at me the other day walked in and headed straight for me. “Hi, I’m Andrew” he said as he took a seat across the bar from me. I had smiled so hard all my face hurt. It wasn’t just because he was hot, which he was. It was also that, other than Davison, Becky and Estelle, every other member of this pack prefered to act like I was invisible. Now this wonderful looking man walks up to me with a smile and introduces himself. Not j

*ARIANNA’S POV*I felt ashamed now. “I’m sorry Estell” I get up and wrap her in a hug and she doesn’t hug me back at first but gives in eventually. “It’s fine Arianna. Now, you need to get dressed. Breakfast will run out by the time you get to the kitchen.” I notice for the first time that she did not bring up my breakfast. “I can’t eat here?” I ask “Don’t be silly, of course you can. But, I don’t have to wait on you anymore. You are free to get your own food. I mean you do eat at night don’t you? I don’t bring you dinner at night do I?” Oh she had no idea I snuck into the kitchen after the kitchen staff had closed for the day. “I usually wait for the kitchen staff to leave then I eat whatever is left in the fridge.” she looks surprised “I guess people have been treating you like scum. Alpha Luciano sure hasn’t helped either. You live here they have to feed you, free or not. Get dressed I’ll go with you today. We can figure the rest out after

*LUCIANO’S POV*Archery was fun. It became even more fun when people started putting money on it. A few Alphas lost to some Zetas and Betas and the other Alphas laughed about it up till the dinner table. Collin was red in the face from laughing so hard. Pairing wine with dinner probably fueled the laughs. Over all it was a good day. I had no pressing issue to tend to for the rest of the day so I decide to take a stroll in the garden. My walks in the garden had been helping with the anger in my heart. An anger I had held on to since my mate died. She loved this garden and I felt closer to her here. Her presence here made me set the Omega free. Definetly not whatever Dave has been spouting about humanity these past months. The night was very still, the moon was a glowing crescent in the sky. I made a mental note to talk to the gardners about how the garden was fairing. It looked decently kept, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was missing som
