Want to escape

"Don't kill me." I begged immediately when I saw one the guards untie me from the Alpha's bed.
"It's the Alpha's orders. I'm afraid there isn't much I can do," He said, as he dragged me off the bed and pinned me against the wall. Alpha Bane was honestly cold. He didn’t care that I was going get killed in his room.
"Please have mercy", I pleaded.
"I can’t have mercy on you. the Alpha's orders are clear. This will be quicker if you simply be quiet and let me finish my work." The man came closer, his claws not completely elongated, and reached for my throat.
"No!" I screamed, tugging on the chains and throwing my legs at him till he pushed backward. At the slightest impact, he only moved a few inches away. His strength was nothing compared to mine. "Don't kill me. Please. I don't want to die like this and I don't want to die tonight "
Before I could further continue with my pleas, he grabbed my throat, sinking his claws into my neck and tearing a part of my flesh. I gasped for breaths, tears welling in my eyes.
"Give me a good reason why I shouldn't kill you," he said, loosening his hold. "The Alpha will want my head if I show the slightest mercy on you."
"I am pregnant," I quickly spat out, without thinking. "I slept with one of the omegas and knocked me up, please, don't kill me. I know you don’t want an omega like me to be your luna, that’s enough for you to know that I won’t be".
The guard froze at my words. His grip slackened, his claws retreating just enough that I could draw a ragged breath. His eyes hard and feral just moments ago narrowed as though something within him battled against his orders.
“With child?” he repeated, his voice low, as if the words themselves carried danger. His gaze darted toward the door of the bedrooms as if fearing someone might have overheard. “Do you speak the truth?”
I nodded frantically, desperation pouring out of me. “Yes. I swear. I hid my scent when I was in the healer’s clinic. Please… please don’t let me die like this. My pup needs to live", I lied more.
His jaw tightened, muscles ticking with conflict. For a long, suffocating moment I thought he would still finish me, duty outweighing mercy. But then, with a growl caught in his throat, he shoved me back against the wall not in cruelty this time, but as if he needed distance from his own decision.
“I’ll regret this,” he muttered. Then, with quick jerks, he bent to the chains, his claws slicing through the locks until the metal fell away from my wrists. Blood rushed back into my hands, sharp pins of pain prickling up my arms.
“You didn’t see me,” he said, his voice harsher now, as if layering stone over the crack of compassion. “I was never here. If you value your life, you’ll run. Disappear before anyone knows I disobeyed. Because if the Alpha learns…” His eyes hardened again. “We’ll both be corpses.”
I staggered, barely able to find my footing, my legs trembling from too long spent in chains. “Th-thank you,” I whispered, my throat raw where his claws had grazed.
He turned away, pacing toward the door. “Don’t waste your words. Run.”
That was all I needed. My bare feet slapped softly against the floor as I darted from Alpha Bane’s room. Luckily the guards weren’t around all taken by the ongoing party. I ran with my heart pounding in my ears louder than the echoes in the corridor.
The night air struck me when I finally ran out of Bane’s private wing. I stopped running when my eyes fall on some pack members. They were drunk and in the party moods, so I couldn’t run past them. That would be obvious.
So I did the only thing I could, I threw myself into the crowd. Some wolves eyed me curiously as I stumbled among them, but I lowered my head, pulling my torn dress tighter around me to hide my bloodstained body parts. My pulse thudded as I kept my pace steady, not too fast, not too slow, weaving myself into their numbers like a shadow slipping into sunlight.
I tried to steady my breathing, to look like I was fine but I wasn’t lucky enough. Behind me, I swore I still heard the guard’s voice in my head: Run.
I ran after but It was endless, the pack was so big. I couldn't find a sign where it mentioned I was leaving this pack.
My pulse increased upon hearing the sounds of several sound steps of wolves roaring to my right. I glanced at the woods, finding them empty but the sounds were still there. Instantly, I knew I had been found.
But how?
I began running on the opposite direction. The alleyway ended a bit farther away with a large bricked wall in the middle. Just before it, there was a small staircase leading to the door. I quickly slipped inside upon hearing footsteps.
"How do you suppose she's here?" A man questioned, voice familiar.
I slid into the room and it was a garbage room, reeking of a disgusting smell. I held my breath while looking into the small window on the door.
It was him, the Alpha and two men by his side.
How was it possible? I barely rested for a moment and I was already found. Wasn’t he supposed to be with his luna making love?.
"There is no one here, Alpha. It's empty." The man said, dashing his head left and right. The alpha glanced around, sniffing and moving ahead, closed to the end of the alleyway.
"I can smell her. She's here," He said, voice warmed with rage. "Come out wherever you are, little omega, I promise I'll spare your life."
My lungs seized. He can smell me. How was it possible?
At the same time he spoke, I watched as his fingernails extended into claws. He intended on killing me, nothing more. A small gasp fled my throat and I stepped back from the door. I couldn't go out there. No matter if I rotted inside the garbage room or not, I couldn't go out there.
"Search around the area. Find her and bring her to me, alive. And question anyone that is around, ask them if they have seen her." The Alpha turned to the man beside him and said.
The two men soon scurried out of the alleyway and began searching for me around. Thankfully, no one had seen me. I had yet to collide with one of their town people.
I waited till the Alpha left, but he didn't.
He stayed on his feet, looking ahead into nothing. I pressed my lips together while remaining inches away from the door. The smell of the garbage filled my nose but I held myself back from puking and creating a scene.
On the opposite side of the building, there was a door, on the same place, another garbage room.
The Alpha headed straight there and as soon as he stepped in, I stepped out and began running away.
Anywhere.
