“What are you two doing in here? You know you’re not to dine with the Alpha or Luna. Get up.” Odessa says as she enters the dining hall.
“Odessa, tell me why they aren’t allowed to dine with us. Especially when your Luna, my mate, asks them to.” Alpha Liam interrupts her.
“Oh, uhm. I'm sorry Alpha, I didn’t know. I'll just leave.” Odessa says bowing and turning to leave.
“Not before you answer my question.” Alpha Liam growls causing Odessa to be at a standstill. An Alphas’ command cannot be ignored.
“Yes, Alpha. They aren’t allowed to dine with you or the Luna because I forbade them.” Odessa says.
“And why is that?” Luna Jessica asks.
“Because Brea doesn’t know when to keep her mouth shut. And Tyrene shouldn’t be in general public after what happened to her mother, let alone dine with the Alpha and Luna.” Odessa says.
“Wow. Did you girls know that’s what she thinks of you? Is she like this to all the Omegas?” Luna Jessica asks us.
“Uhm, yes Luna. We all know what Odessa thinks of us that’s why we try to not be seen by you Luna, the Alpha, Stephen, and the Beta family. Odessa tells us that we’re not good enough to even look at the leaders of this or any pack. And when we do get caught speaking to anyone high up in the pack we get punished. And that’s why sometimes we’ll be short-staffed when serving meals.” I say while Tyrene looks away from the Alpha and Luna.
“That’s why you two were barely looking at us.” Alpha Liam says.
“Yes, Alpha,” Tyrene says still not looking at them.
“Alpha, please. I don’t what they are talking about. I have never laid a hand on any of the Omegas.” Odessa says pleading.
“Aaron, take Odessa to one of the cells. I will deal with her later. Now ladies if you’ll excuse Jessica and me, we have to get ready for our meeting.” Alpha Liam says.
Tyrene and I both stand and bow as the Alpha and Luna leave the room. After Aaron, the Alphas Gamma takes Odessa out of the room and to the cells in the pack house, Tyrene and I run with our food to tell the other Omegas what just happened. As we enter the Omega Quarter of the pack house, there's a strong smell of blood.
“What’s happened?” I say as I see three Omegas standing around Sarah, my second roommate.
“Odessa said she’s been seen speaking to Randell, Jack’s best friend, and soon-to-be Beta.” one of the girls says.
“Sarah told her that Randell was her mate. Once Odessa heard that she began beating Sarah with anything she could grab. She threatened anyone who came near to stop her and even hit a few of us with a lamp handle.” another girl said, holding her head.
“I’ll kill her!” I say growling.
“Brea, relax. No one else knows you’re an Alpha. Don’t bring that voice out. Liam will kill you.” Tyrene says through our personal mind-link.
Nodding my head, I take a few breaths to calm myself before speaking again. “Well, we won’t have to worry about Odessa anymore. Especially after this. We need to get Sarah to the infirmary and I'll find Randell, she’s going to need him to heal.”
Everyone nods and four girls carry Sarah from the Omega Quarter to the infirmary. I turn to Tyrene who has a look of worry in her eyes.
“Go, it’s okay, stay with Sarah. I'll send Randell when I find him and I'm going to Aaron about this.” I say then walk away from Tyrene who just nods her head and runs after Sarah.
I take off smelling the air in search of Randell. As an Alpha, you can differentiate each pack member's smell and call it forth. It makes track for Alphas so much easier. So, I make it to the pack house front yard and concentrate on calling for Randell’s scent. Once I catch his scent, I take off running in the direction of the rec house. Ringing the doorbell, I wait on the porch for someone to answer. Kevin, another Omega, answers the door.
“Kevin, I need to find Randell and I know he’s here,” I say frantically.
“Okay, yeah. What’s wrong? They're celebrating that he found his mate.” Kevin says.
“That’s why I'm here. Sarah...” I start saying before being interrupted.
“Sarah what?” Randell runs to the door and asks with a worried look on his face.
“She was beaten by Odessa because she didn’t believe that you two were mates. Sarah’s been taken to the pack infirmary but she’s going to need you with her to heal.” I say as quickly as possible.
Randell’s eyes switch back and forth between black and his normal emerald green color.
“Randy, go to her. We’ll see about Odessa.” Jack says stepping next to his best friend and placing a hand on his shoulder to ground him.
“Actually Alpha. Your father had Odessa put in a cell by Gamma Aaron. I was heading to him next to inform him of what has happened.” I say looking down signaling a sign of respect that I'm not even sure I mean.
“I’ve told you, Brea, call me Jack. I'm not the Alpha yet. And thank you for coming to Randy first.” Jack says.
“Sarah’s my friend. Randell's her mate, she’s injured. I know that mates need each other during times of need. I only want for her to be okay.” I say nodding.
“And she will be. Thank you, Brea.” Randell says as he runs toward the infirmary building.
“So, my dad already has Odessa in the cells? Why?” Stephen asks.
“Because she told the Alpha and Luna what she thought about the rest of us Omegas and Tyrene mentioned we get punished if seen with anyone high up in the pack,” I speak.
“So, that’s why you and all the Omegas always ran from me. And I thought it was because y’all thought I was a bully.” Stephen says with clarity in his voice.
I only nod and say, “I have to inform Gamma Aaron what Odessa did. I won’t be a bother any longer.”
