The next day was an exceptionally quiet one in the Omega’s lodge. Two female werewolves had been assigned to pack and burn Alina’s little belongings under Luna Laura’s instructions. Catharina was filled with disgust at the ruling Alpha’s family. She had refused to go to school, knowing that evil Kane had gone as well. He was not even remorseful that a life was ended because of him. He had gone on as if nothing ever happened. Catharina sat on Alina’s bed; her growling tears could be heard throughout the building.
The scene she had witnessed earlier kept on replaying before her eyes. Alpha Kane's family had returned to their mansion immediately after Alina’s body was carried out of the gate. None of the family members had the courtesy to follow her body to where she was buried.
She'd only heard fragments from the Omegas, who were also working at the mansion. Alpha Kane was said to have been having one of his usual anger tantrums.
He had lost control of his wolf, and had taken to smashing things around his room. Alina had been assigned to bring him his food. The servants gossiped that she stood outside his room for several minutes before going in, since none of them had the guts to move near his room. They patiently kept on looking, but a loud bashing sound was soon heard, and Alpha Kane came out in his wolf form, bearing Alina’s hand in his teeth as he dragged her out. He placed her outside his room and fled into the forest.
He had died on impact as his wolf was extremely aggressive, He had been trying to control his form when Alina had entered with his food tray in her hands. He had screamed for her to get out of the way, but she had been too slow to carry her body because of her ailment. His wolf teeth had knocked the life out of her before she ever touched the ground.
Wrapped in a bundle on the bed, Catharina watched as they emptied Alina’s clothes and personal belongings. One of the women packing the clothes turned her greedy eyes on Catharina, where she sat.
"Catharina," she called, eyeing the girl’s petite, plump form. Catharina gently came down from the bed and went over to them. Her protector against them was gone. It would be disadvantageous for her to get on their bad side so soon.
The woman, sounding distinctly crossed, motioned for Catharina to open her wardrobe.
"Why?". "That is mine, not Alina's." Catharina answered puzzled.
"I know you two are very close, so she must have kept some of her things in your wardrobe, like some of the things she stole from the Alpha’s residence," the woman said, maliciously eyeing Catharina's frame as she stood beside her. "
She was not a thief. " Catharina growled hotly,
"Who are you shouting at? It is just a question. Every Omega steals from their master, so hers should not be any different. " The other women, tired of their banter, forced Catharina to open the wardrobe. She was pushed aside soon after that. She moved quietly to the side to let them search to their heart's content.
She knew they only pretended to search under the pack instructions, but they were all keeping the clothes and anything of value they found for themselves.
They stripped her wardrobe naked, emptying all of her clothes and books on the floor. Catharina was about to go back to bed when a light shone from Alina’s wardrobe, which was right next to hers. Subtly, she moved closer to the wardrobe and picked up the shiny object. It was lying under some books Alina had gotten for Catharina from Alpha Kane’s mansion. They were old school books that Alpha Kane had thrown away, Alina had packed them all home, but the books had been two grades below her, so Alina had placed the books in her wardrobe, hoping to give them out later. They had not gone through all the books in the bundle. The women must have thrown it aside since the books were of no use to them.
Curious, Catharina removed the book from the oval object. It was so uniquely shaped, she quickly squeezed it into her clothes to avoid suspicion. She quietly left the room as the women were bickering over some of her items. She was not bothered. She had nothing of value in there and she was sure the clothes the pack provided her would not be to their taste either. The female Omegas were dressed to entertain the lust frenzy of the other male werewolves, regardless of their caste. Her clothes were short and skimpy, something she knew other caste female werewolves detested but had no power to change. The male werewolves ruled the pack, and they only added rules that would benefit them.
She ran to the restroom in a hot frenzy, bringing out the object from her clothes. She gasped as the light protruding from it almost blinded her. The object was so shiny. She turned it all around. It was oval in shape. She wondered what it was. Looking around it, she noticed there was a line in between the case and metal. She tried flipping it open, and it gave way sharply.
Catharina smiled at her discovery. Alpha Kane must have mistakenly kept an old phone he was not using among the books he threw away. Though she had never used a phone before, she had seen pack members of other caste groups using phones.
Almost every one of them had a phone with them. They were all oddly shaped; some were square, some rectangles, while some were either big or small. The one in her hand was unique in its form. It was so hard to detect that it was a phone that had been hidden in Alina’s wardrobe for so long. However, Omegas were not allowed to use such luxuries. Alpha Jake had forbidden it.
Catharina smiled. It seemed his evil son had done something good for the Omegas. For once in his miserable life, he had provided them with a means to freedom. Pressing the button, she smiled as the phone came to life. She had finally gotten a route. She would be sure to torture the evil Alpha.
