A handful fist grabbed Calista in reality, slamming her body on the wooden chair as she groaned in pain. Her father Jake smirked as he watched Calista’s blood flowed through her body. “I love hurting you, do you know that? It satisfies me, brings me chills, and reminds me how much strength I have left in my system given my age.” Calista snapped at her father with weak eyes. She tried to speak but her mouth only spat blood, coughing them off her throat. With a kitchen knife in his hand, Jake points its tip on her throat, one wrong move and Calista’s breath would be cut off. “You would act as I command, you hear me? You would let your sister marry your best friend, your one true love as you say, and you wouldn’t get in their way and you would live. And the next time I see you talking with him, will be the last time you have a tongue.” He then grabbed Calista’s hair in a grip, yanking her inside the pig pen. “That’s where you belong. With the pigs, and far worse than that.” She was left alone together with the pigs in that pen, their bad smell kept Calista believing that she was still alive. Jake told her she’s lucky to have a shelter like this. But as Calista wonders her eyes in the area full of their poops, she knew it was torture. That it wasn’t fortune nor luck, it was even more worse than death. Looking at the moon in the skies, Calista prayed for the moon goddess to take her life away for this is the only way she knows to be free. Calista Caitlynn was born in the Omega Family. Since then, she knows that her parents despise her, that they only love her younger sister, Amanda. Growing up, she doesn’t have anyone beside her but her best friend Leo. For years, Calista thought she would be mated with him, that she would soon be married with her one true love. But all those dreams remained being her dreams when she found out Amanda was f*****g Leo. Hurt and betrayed, she attacked Amanda and drew her claws beneath her skin. That was the picture her father had come across with when he arrived. “Wake up, pig! Come on. Father has a gift for you.” Amanda’s chuckles woke Calista up the next morning. She was smirking as she watched Calista now covered with pigs’ poops. “What do you need…” Calista asked with her weak voice. The blood in her skin has already dried up, and its smell have embraced her long through night. “Nothing, sister. Aside from my desire to inform you that Leo and I are already engaged, I wanted to see if you are still breathing.” “Why? So you could kill me off yourself?” Amanda mocked her with a sad face. “Aww, so now you’re acting like a victim after what you did to me? Just to remind you, sister. It was me who almost got killed by you. Don’t you ever pass the traits of a criminal to me because it’s on you. It was written in your skin, under your name, and in your blood.” Calista isn’t really naturally part of their family. She was adopted by her mother after the great war hundred of years ago and brought her home to be their daughter. Amanda throws a stone at Calista, hitting her straight on her head. “Father is coming. And I just want to say, finally. Finally you’ll leave us alone this time.” Jake is wearing his full smile as he nears the pigs pen. From just the look of her father, Calista already doubted that this is something good. His demeanor pictures dangers, that every time he wears that smile, something terrible is happening to Calista. “Stand up!” Jake made her by grabbing her hair up. Calista groaned in pain. “You have been sold to the Moonlight Throne, Calista. You are going to serve in the palace so come bathe and clean yourself as they won’t accept you in this state, full of dirt and smell like f*****g hell.” Calista was too weak to even question his father. Jake carried her to the river and threw her there. The coldness of the water has embraced her, moistening the blood in her skin. She doesn’t know how long she got dipped in the river, she just woke up the next hours with a decent maiden dress on her body. Her mother, Jake, and Amanda stood beside as Calista looked at them. “What am I wearing?” She asked, glancing at her mother because she knows she will get no answer from the two. But her mother just looked away, never minding the question of Calista, acting as if she didn’t hear anything. Then a huge and massive banner is coming to their small home. The banner that speaks power, a symbol of the Moonlight Throne, the most powerful throne in the wildings forest and treated as the throne of all thrones. Calista was completely clueless with the arrival of the kingsguard in the home of an Omega Family. They are the lowest of the low, the unnoticed, the slaves, and unimportant among all the werewolves. So for the kingsguard to take attention and bring themselves up in this area is something to be followed upon, it might be a good or a bad sign. Jake stepped forward to meet the kingsguard. “Is that her?” The kingsguard has his gazes toward Calista. “Yes, ser Braavos. Her name is Calista Caitlynn, nineteen, a maiden, and a virgin. I am sure the Alpha would like her.” A box of gold was given to Jake in exchange for his daughter, Calista. Amanda has been dreaming this to happen, for her sister to vanish. She expected Calista to cry her heart out, to beg not to sell her to the palace, to kneel for her forgiveness, but she didn't do any of those. Instead, Calista peacefully came along with the kingsguard and his men. For she knew this would free her from her family. That there was nothing much worse than to live with them, to suffer each and every day for their inhumane fists. “She has extraordinary beauty. I might have thought she was a princess if only I didn’t know she’s an Omega.” The Kingsguard embarked, sealing the paper of agreement. “She has extraordinary beauty only because she comes from us, my lord.” The kingsguard turned to look at Amanda. “Is she also your daughter, then?” Jake laughed awkwardly. “From her beauty and elegance, she is, my lord. Only that she’s not for sale. She is yet to marry when the next full moon comes. She is tied to another man already.” The Kingsguard shook his head, though. “I only see face and body, but not beauty and elegance. Perhaps I shall have my eyes checked for better good sight?" Chuckles from various omega werewolves outside were heard. Jake and Amanda seemed to be insulted with what the kingsguard said, they couldn’t accept that they are treated so low in their own territory. “Just take her away and you’re good to go. Just send our regards to the Alpha.” Jake harshed seriously. The kingsguard faced Calista. “Calista Caitlynn, you no longer belong to this Omega Family. You now belong to the palace, to the Moonlight throne, and to the Alpha of all Alphas. You are to serve as a w***e, a highly-ranked w***e, higher than the Omegas and slaves, and shall enjoy benefits, decent clothes, well shelter, payment, and good treatment among werewolves below you. Lords from the different ranks, and Alphas from various thrones, their sons, and the heir to the Moonlight Throne—the Alpha Prince—shall have the right to exclusively own you, use you, and enjoy you for your own service. This contract is terminated only if the Alpha King says so.”
