Chasing my Omega Luna

Finding him

*Max’s POV

The annual reunion of the packs was two days away and the more it got close, the more I didn’t want to go. It’s usually super boring and all the unmated wolves throw themselves at unmated werewolves. But I could understand, if it wasn’t because I had already found my mate I’d be crazy to find her. Well, technically, I didn’t find her. You know what I mean.

In the end, Lili couldn’t come with us, so we let Alex come. He was behaving and he promised to be at his best. Not that I believed him, but he was trying.

This year's reunion was at Spring Moon Pack. When I found out I had almost cancelled, I hated this pack and its Alpha. He didn’t go with what I thought was a good Alpha. He was restless and I knew he was the one who had slaughtered my mate’s pack. I’ve asked him a thousand times about her and I even threatened him to tell me, but he said he didn’t know anything. I had a very bad feeling about this, Nick and Alex had promised me it. It was just in my mind and that I had to go because I couldn’t bare to have bad relationships with another pack, especially this kind of pack.

I was packing my stuff when Sabrina entered my room. She thought she was attending the reunion with me, but that was not the case.

Sabrina was my high school girlfriend. We broke up when my mom died and I left the pack. After I came back from Europe, she thought we’d be together again, but no. Don’t get me wrong, she was nice, and after all, she has been my friend since we were kids, but I didn’t actually feel anything for her, so yeah, it wasn’t happening.

“Hi, Maxi, you’re already packing, why did you tell me to do the same?” She asked, knowing damn well she wasn’t attending with us.

“Sabrina, you know you’re not coming. I don’t know what makes you think you are. Please leave” I said, trying to be polite. As I said, I didn’t have feelings for her and I’d tried to tell her as politely as possible, but she seemed not to understand.

“Well, I mean, you didn’t tell me and I know that Lili is not going with you guys, so it’s only fair I am going with you, you need a girl.” She was delusional. Why would I need a girl that is not my mate, in this situation?

“Thank you for thinking that, but no, we, certainly, don’t need a girl. Now, please leave”. She didn’t know about my mate, so for sure she was thinking that she’d take her and my chosen mate. Please Lord, give me a f*cking break.

“Well, I could help you with all the things you may need” she said, trying to be sexy. No, thank you. Enough was enough.

“Sabrina, no, you’ll see, I’m looking for my mate, and as you may already know, you’re not one, so please stop” I said, almost pushing her to the door and closing after her. I knew she’d be mad and would tell my dad, but he was on my side in this one.

We left on Friday morning to get there on time. The reunion was two days long. On Friday we usually had a get-to-know each other and just lobbied with the other people. On Saturday we would have a meeting about important packing stuff and at night we would have a party, and on Sunday we would just pack and leave.

The journey to Spring Moon was about four hours, but I was so tired that I slept the whole ride. Nick and Alex talked a lot about finding my mate and I just let them, it was nice that they were so into finding their Luna.

We arrived at Spring Moon and the usual forest and pines were there. I liked it, but they seemed dark, you know. We got our things out of the car and we were treated by an Omega in her mid 20s. I always found really weird the way the omegas acted here, like they were all scared of something or everything. The omega led us to our rooms. We were on the third floor. Alex and Nick had a room each next to mine.

“Well, guys, let’s get set in and I’ll meet you downstairs at 30, is that OK?” I told them, we needed to start our lobby. The pack really needed new allies.

“Sure, boss, count on it” they said in unison.

I went to my room again and started to see what I was going to wear, something casual maybe? I don’t know, I really didn’t care about it, I was having a weird feeling about this visit and I couldn’t get over it.

*Olivia's POV

Marissa told me that the pack was hosting the annual reunion of packs, so that they were going to have tons of work and they needed extra hands, but Alpha Cameron didn’t approve me going out of prison yet. I was sure he had other plans for me.

I was having a lovely chat with Al about my family and the life he used to have before that happened. He never talked about the situation that made him end up this way, but I knew because of rumors that he refused to deny Alpha and that pissed him off.

In the middle of our conversations, my two regular guys came in looking for me. They asked me to stand up, very politely to be honest, and then escorted me out of the dungeons. We walked for about ten minutes into the forest and I was getting this feeling of something wrong. They never took me here and I was repeating in my mind the words Alpha Cameron said to me the other night.

After a few minutes more, we arrived at a kind of old abandoned house, more like a mansion. Boris and Chuckle led me in with suspicious looks in their eyes. At this point, I was looking all around to check how I could escape, but at first sight there were no possible exits.

Please help me, Goddess.

“Stay here, lowlife, your Alpha will be here shortly”, Boris commanded me. He was just a warrior, but as I already said, they couldn’t know that I was Beta’s daughter. Because they never introduced me to the pack or did the official ceremony to break my union with my old pack, I still held my original title. This way, I could not be commanded by them, but it was better if they didn’t know.

“Well, hello” said Alpha Cameron, about five minutes later, “I assume you already know why you’re here, don’t you?” He asked while doing something behind me. I was too in shock to turn around. He came up to me and tied my hand behind my back, making the knot incredibly strong so my wrist would hurt like hell. Well, here we go.

“Sit, darling, we’re having a little chat” he commanded me, and I did as I was told. “As you know, for me, it's incredibly useful your help, and you haven’t been anything but helpful. As you know, I don’t like repeating myself and you've made me do it quite a lot in the past three years, so I'm pissed as it is” he said, more like talking to himself. “So, again, Olivia, I’m asking this one more f*cking time, and be careful” he threatened me, but to be honest, I didn’t care if he kill me at this point, I wasn’t going to reveal anything to him.

“Alpha, I don’t know what you expect. I don’t know anything about the wolves you’re looking for” I said, trying to be polite this time. Maybe it’d save me from a worse punishment.

“Ewww, wrong answer” he said, standing up, “stand up, NOW”, he beamed at me.

I stood up as he untied my hands, just to tie them above my head with some kind of handcuffs that were attached to a chain in the ceiling. When he put them on, they started burning so badly that I understood they were made of silver and that it was going to hurt a lot. As werewolves, we heal super fast from regular wounds, but when they are made with silver it takes longer.

Out of nowhere, I was being elevated by my wrist and my hands above my head, my shoulders were hurting so my wrist and I could feel my joints giving up. I cried out in pain, for the first time in front of Alpha Cameron. This was the greatest pain I had ever felt.

At that moment, I started losing consciousness, my mind was alert, but my body couldn’t take it anymore.

“We could save this if you just told me what I need. It isn’t hard” he said, picking up a whip from a closet near by. I just stayed silent, I couldn’t handle it anymore. Valkiria was crying as loudly as possible. I think it was hurting me more feeling my wolf like that than the actual pain.

“I’m sorry Valki, you need to understand me” I said to her, crying in pain.

“I know, darling, we are not saying anything to this bastard, but Sia, we have to escape, we need to find the way or he is going to kill us, we’re not useful to him.”

She had a fair point, he was going to kill us if we didn’t run. But right now, that seemed impossible too.

He walked around me and he lifted up my shirt with a stick, so my back was exposed. I could feel the tip of the stick had silver on it too, because he circled my back and it burned so much. Then, he laughed and started hitting me with the whip, as hard as he could possibly. I couldn’t contain myself anymore and screamed every time he hit me. My back started bleeding out and burning and my wrists felt like they were going to separate from my body.

I could hear he was talking, but I was kind of unconscious so I don’t remember his words well, just that he was going to make me pay for not telling him.

After what I felt like eternity, he stopped when my back wouldn’t stop bleeding. He ordered Boris to take me down, and he did, but in an aggressive way. He let the chain go down as hard as possible so I would hit the ground really hard. I could feel some ribs breaking. I tried to hold still so it wouldn’t hurt so badly, but it was impossible. I was also trying to save energy and consciousness for the time I would have the chance to escape.

“Boss, should I take the handcuffs off?” Boris, asked Alpha Cameron as he was walking away from us.

“Take them off, and give her some water, I know she’ll come to terms and will tell me what I need” he said, looking at me like I was a piece of s**t. “I need to attend the reunion. I’ll be back in maybe 2 hours”. He walked away from us.

I was a piece of s**t, I was no one, I wasn’t what I expected to be, because my parents would be so disappointed in me.

“Stop thinking like that, Sia, be strong and we’ll escape this. Trust me, something inside me is telling me this will get better”- Valkiria said in my head, giving me courage, but I had no more courage nor self-love left inside me.

“What are we going to do?? We cannot escape” I cried to her. I know I was always pretending to be this strong and aggressive woman, but I was so broken inside, I had to live the last three years of my life next to the man who killed my family and my pack, serving him and hanging on his stupid and disgusting manners. I wanted to leave, and I was going to do it. Once I escaped this house, I would live like a rogue like I haven’t figured out how I was going to have pups, but I’d do it somehow.

I started looking around and found out the only exit was the entry door, so this was my way. I know what you’re thinking at this point, and no, as healer wolves we can’t heal ourselves faster, we can only help other people. Ironic, don’t you think?

Boris came back from the back with a glass of water in his hand and handed it to me. I took it and Valkiria was screaming in my head to take the opportunity. I knew this was going to be the only one we had.

Boris watched me as I drank the water and then turned his back to me. I took the opportunity and shattered the glass, trying to be silent. Boris noticed and turned to me, but before he could do anything, I used a piece of glass in my hand to cut his arm as deep as possible. He screamed and I stood up and started running to the door. I still had the glass in my hand and I was holding onto it like my life depended on that, so it was cutting my hand too. When I was trying to get to the door, Boris caught me and tackled me to the floor. He turned to me so I faced him and punched my face with his broad fist. It didn’t knock me down, but I pretended to be so he would get off me. After he stood up and turned away from me, I used the glass I had saved and cut his leg, so deep it started bleeding immediately. I stood on my shaky feet and started running again to the door. This time I did it.

I closed it after me and ran to the forest, trying to get as far as possible from this pack. My back was burning and bleeding from the silver whiplash, my hand had a deep cut on it broken. I was sure I had some ribs broken and my wrist was burning too, but I was using all my energy to run. I could hear Boris screaming behind me and it took a smirk out of me.

I ran for about 15 minutes, when the pain made me stop, I needed to catch my breath. I was crying, I could feel my tears running through my cheeks. My mind was alert, even if my body was giving up, I had never felt so much pain. I was feeling my legs burning too.

I closed my eyes for a second so I’d recover a little bit. When I was ready to run again, I felt the most amazing smell in the entire world, it hit me like a brick. The smell of the ocean and coconut flooded my nostrils and brought me so much comfort and calm. This was the most heavenly scent in the world. I was sure I had smelled it before, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.

I was so tired and in pain, but the scent gave me enough strength to push a little more and find it. I looked like a crazy woman because of it. It gave some sort of comfort and calm, and that is exactly what I needed right now. It was so intense I thought I’d faint, but I needed to find it first.

“MATE, MATE, MATE” Valkiria was screaming in my head, she was dancing and wagging her tail like a puppy.

“What??” That was all I could say, I started thinking that she was losing her mind too.

The scent was getting stronger with each step. My body could get it anymore, I wasn't even seeing anything anymore, I was walking without a path and my mind was off. I started to feel dizzy and sleepy. I thought I would faint, but I never touched the ground.
