Suffering
1181 Words
“You…… you will pay for this, omega!” the alpha let out a dangerous growl, eyes flashing dark red.
Hannah stepped backward then run with all her might. Orlan shifted to his wolf and chased after her with his fangs bared. Just a few meters run, Hannah stumbled and fell down.
Defeat bloomed in omega’s chest…she can’t fight with the much larger and stronger wolf. Her eyes became blurry with tears and a trembling signal of distress came from her wolf. The large wolf was about to surge on her back when suddenly, footsteps were heard and she smelled the familiar scents. The other hunters from their pack are about to come close to where they’re at. Orlan immediately run away to hide until he’s nowhere to be seen.
The omega sighed in relief and let her tears fall down in her face.

“Alpha Orland..., h-he h-harassed me... I was there to wash Omega Yerim’s clothes but Alpha Orlan cornered and harassed me.” Hannah controlled her sob while explaining in details the incident. “I d-don’t know what else would happen i-if the other hunters did not come.” she added.
When the pack’s hunters saw Hannah earlier in her state, they brought her to the Head Alpha’s den and have her explain so she’s facing the Head Alpha right now, trying to explain what happened even if what she want is to go back inside her hut and hide.
The Head Alpha slightly agape his mouth... and then laugh loudly. She looked around the corner of the room but they were laughing too, if not shake their heads in disbelief.
“I’m not lying...,” she slowly said with a shake in her voice... The omega felt her eyes burning and when the laugh did not seem to stop, once again, few tears dropped on her cheeks.
“What the hell are you talking about!” one of the councils has spoken, the father of Orlan. “My son is a respected wolf in this pack. How do you think he will be able to do such horrible thing, especially with an omega like you?” the old man threw her a disgusting look.
“B-but I’m saying the truth... he tried to harassed me and when I fought back, he got mad and nearly hurt me!” she insisted. Her heart squeezed from the thought that no one here did not believe her.
“Even you are the daughter of criminals, we took care of you, feed you, clothed you because you are an orphan...and this is how you’ll pay us... to accuse my son!” the old alpha greeted his teeth while releasing his strong pheromones.
Hannah nearly puked at the strong and intimidating scent. It makes her bones shiver and palms sweaty.
“Beta John, please call Alpha Orlan and tell him to come here.” the Head Alpha said to one of the wolves.
“I really can’t believe this is happening. Hannah, if once proven that you are lying to us, you will receive a punishment. I won’t tolerate someone accusing one of the pack.” the Head Alpha looked at her grimly and Hannah had no choice but to swallow thickly and hung her head low.
“Head Alpha... Father...” Orlan bow to the alphas and the council when he entered the room.
“Take a seat, Alpha Orlan,” the Head Alpha responded. “The omega slave here was saying about something you did earlier near the river side.”
Orlan looked at her, gaze taunting.
The meeting run for half an hour. As what as Hannah’s expected, Orlan denied the truth. But what worse was he made up his own story telling that Hannah was the one who tried to seduce him that time but the alpha rejected the omega and left.
When Hannah opposed what has been said, the alphas and the Head alpha sent her a warning growl.
Hannah trembled from disbelief, hate, and hopelessness. Her mind went blank and none of the words from other wolves were heard. Her chest constricts. The omega went unconscious.

“Finally, you’re awake!”, the first thing Hannah heard when she opened her eyes. She blinked few times and the incident rushed into her mind. Her heart speed up its rate and her worries came crashing thru thinking about her punishment. It soured her scent.
“Oh pls Hannah! Control your scent... you stink!”, the omega contorted her face.
“I’m sorry ...”, Hannah closed her eyes and tried to relax. “What can I do for you, Omega Yerim?”, she asked.
“Good question. I think you forgot to bring back my clothes at my cabin”, the omega crossed her arms and wait for her answer.
The basket... oh no!! I left it when Orlan attacked me yesterday.
“Well...?” the omega asked, left eyebrow quirked.
“I-I’m sorry... I l-left it near the river... Don’t w-worry, I’ll get it right away”, Hannah stuttered.
“You what?!”, Yerim raised her voice. “Don’t you know how much those clothes worth? Those costs more than your existence!”
“I said I’m sorry!” Hannah is still a bit nervous but the incident yesterday made her omega at edge. “Look, if you feel too much worried of your fancy clothes, then why don’t you just bring those yourself?”.
“What did you say?!” the angry omega grabbed a fistful of her hair. “How dare you to answer me like that!”.
Hannah felt a searing pain from her scalp. “I’m sorry. Please let go of me.” she said while trying to pull her hair out from Yerim’s hand.
“You, stupid omega! You should know your place. You’re just a slave here and all you have to do is do your task properly and behave like a good dog!”. Yerim slapped her face hard which draw blood from her lips.
“One more thing... stay away from Orlan. He’s mine!” She left her in a dirty look and stomped away out of her sight.
Hannah can’t keep herself but another wave of tears swells from her eyes. She’s tired of this. She’s sick and tired from the abuse she experiences every day since her parents passed away and left her with nothing but this old hut and debt.
When was the last time she smile? She can’t remember anymore. If only she can get out of this place, then maybe she will be free and happy...
