Rebirth of the Omega

CHAPTER THREE

Lyra struggled to breathe as Troy tightened his grip on her neck. His long nails were already piercing int her skin. “You hurting me” she cried out with a voice that could barely be heard.

“I said what did you do?” Troy asked once more.

“How can a weak and disgusting thing like you be my mate?” he added

“ I didn’t do anything” Lyra answered, sounding like a whisper because of Troy’s grip on her throat.

Did he think she engaged in witchcraft to make her his mate, Lyra asked within herself. Blood was already coming out from the injuries on Lyra’s neck due to Troy’s strangle-hold.

“ I Troy alpha of this pack reject you Lyra as my mate” Troy growled angrily, relaxing his grip and pushing her to the floor.

Lyra felt like she had been given a strong punch on her tummy. She was numb the wounds on her neck caused by Troy, this was much worse. She had no idea why she felt this way, even though all the love she had for troy had died before this moment.

She fell to the ground, still struggling to breathe. Troy’s strangling and rejection had done a number on her.

Troy looked at her in disgust, still fuming. He finally walked away leaving her on the floor, she could die for all he cared. I would be good riddance anyway, Troy thought to himself.

Lyra laid on the floor for some minutes before she mustered enough energy to carry herself to her room. The hunger had disappeared. The only thing she felt now was a kind of pain she could not explain.

Now Lyra knew she had to run away, she needed to. The shame of rejection, added to the way she was treated every single day didn’t offer her another choice. The only thing remaining was how she was going to do it.

Lyra couldn’t sleep all through the night. Thoughts of what happened that night wouldn’t let her.

She was also thinking of how she would run away, but she had no idea how yet.

Anna was the first person she saw in the morning. “Where have you been?” Anna asked looking worried. “What happened?” she asked again as she saw Lyra’s countenance. Lyra said nothing.

She thought Anna was reacting to the announcement made yesterday by Troy and Eira, knowing that Lyra used to love Troy. She didn’t know Lyra had other things bothering her.

“He did what” Anna screamed, and immediately covered her mouth with both her hands as Lyra told her about her encounter with Troy, but she didn’t say anything about her plan to escape. Anna felt sorry for her friend. It was enough that she was betrayed by her best friend and treated like a diseased animal by members of her pack. This, Anna thought was too much for her to bear.

Lyra heard some of the other maids talking about a celebration that was planned to celebrate Eira’s pregnancy. If this was true, the day of the celebration would be a fantastic opportunity for her to run away. She just had to do some more investigation now, so she would be able to craft a foolproof plan.

Lyra was alone in the kitchen later in the day washing some dishes, when she heard a voice she knew so well call her name. “Lyraaaa!” the voice called out. Lyra turned around to confirm her suspicion. She was right, it was Eira.

What did she want, Lyra thought, with her blood beginning to boil. “ The luna shouldn’t be washing the dishes. That’s the work of a maid, you know” Eira said smiling, trying to mock Lyra.

She knew? How did she know? Did Troy tell her? Lyra asked within herself.

“It’s none of your business” Lyra replied her, with no emotion on her face, acting like Eira’s words didn’t hurt her. But it did, it really did.

“Get a maid to do it Lyra” Eira continued, smiling, mocking her former best friend further.

“I said it’s none of your business” Lyra shouted, she couldn’t hide her emotions anymore as she walked out of the kitchen, fuming.

“Do well to attend the celebration tomorrow Lyra” Eira said, laughing as Lyra stormed out of the kitchen.

She had to get out of this place somehow and someway, Lyra thought as she walked to her room. She couldn’t continue living like this.

“It’s tomorrow?” she asked herself aloud as she got into her room. She needed a plan.

Lyra started thinking deeply, how would she do it? At what time would she do it?

She locked her room door after thinking for some time, then she started packing some of her things.

After filling up a small bag with some clothes and her doll, Lyra laid on her bed and tried to get some sleep before the big day. Her heart was racing very fast.

In the morning, Lyra made sure she got to the kitchen very early. She wanted to avoid anything that would hinder her from running away. She had decided to escape and nothing was stopping her.

Lyra already had a plan. She would leave through the back door while everyone was celebrating with Troy and Lyra. Or if that didn’t work, she would lie that she has an errand to run. Lyra had made up her mind, she couldn’t spend another day living like this.

As the other maids began to arrive in the kitchen, each of them giggling as the passed by her. They all have heard the gossip of Troy rejecting her. Lyra didn’t care. It all ends today, she thought smiling a little.

After finishing her work, Lyra quietly slipped out of the kitchen to go to her room. She wanted to make final preparations and be sure she wasn’t forgetting anything.

Lyra sat on her bed quietly, patiently waiting for the celebration to start before making her move.

Suddenly, Lyra’s room was bombarded by some of the pack warriors.

What is happening? Why are they here? Lyra asked within herself, as her heartbeat began to speed up.

“You’re under arrest” one of the warriors thundered.

“For what? What did I do?” Lyra asked, trembling.
