Lisa's POV
I can't believe it. I'm married. I'm starting my life as someone else's wife. How interesting. And I'm so angry learning that this was all a scheme to use me against Ethan.
“This place is beautiful isn't it?" Lisa admires the room we were standing in. “Are you still mad at me?" She questions when she hears no response from me.
“Lisa you didn't even tell me that this was all a stupid plan to mess around with... Him. Do you understand what that means for me? He will hate me. To be honest, I'd hate me too. How do even expect this to work?" I beckon in a harsh voice as I feel outrage.
“Natasha please calm down. I'm just trying to help both of us, “ she softens her voice trying to calm my anger. But I am so angry at for not telling me about. At least I'd know what I'm doing, than be kept in the dark.
" Helping!? Tell me Lisa? How will you help us, when he attacks me at night and strangles to death? Will you able to stop him? “ I invoke her thinking.
“He's not going to kill you! No one is going to kill you," she comforts.
“I wish I was as sure as you are," I reply feeling down and helpless.
“Natasha please," She pleads as she reaches out to touch my shoulder.
“I need some time alone," I react removing her hand.
“But—"
“But nothing Lisa! Leave me alone! I don't wanna talk about it! I don't wanna talk you!" I snapped, anger stirring from within.
She leaves the room disappointed. I follow behind making sure it's close as she walks out.
I sigh standing against the wall besides the door. I slide down the wall until I sat flat on floor. Burying my face between my hands, as I silently start sobbing. Angry, scared, confused, I felt like exploding into bits if dust. This has to be the worst day if my life.
Suddenly the door opens again. Foot steps follow right after.
“I said I don't want to talk to you anymore," I mumble between my hands.
“Why are you so sad, Mrs Santos? Shouldn't you be excited to married to one of the strongest man in the world? I mean it's every girls dream," I hear mocking voice from above me. And I could tell it was not Lisa.
I lift my head up to see who's disturbing my not so peaceful moment. Roaring jade-green eyes, and lush sun-gold hair wavering above me. Her arms folded above her chest as she studies me with caution.
“ Leave me alone please," I grumble as I bury my face back to my arms. I wasn't interested to any thing she had say. I just want to be alone.
“Leave you alone? I wanna know who do you think you are," she continues.
“What are you talking about?" finally I lift my head up again.
She snorts, “You and that stupid council of yours think you run the world. Think you can take whatever," she says. " Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do.“
“ Do you think I want to be part of this?" I respond rising from my sitting position.
“Do you think I'm stupid? I can see what you and your friends are doing, and I'm not going to let you get away with this. And I'm going to protect our Alpha from you, “ she says. More like I would want her to protect me from her Alpha.
" Look I'm sorry for what happened today. Now please leave me alone, “ I plead.
" That won't happen. This is my pack and I won't let a low life like ruin things for us. And I'll make sure you regret the day you ever decided to mess with us, “ she threatens. " And this... “ She gestures at the wedding dress. " It means nothing. Ethan- is- mine, “ she claims. Suddenly her phone rings and she frowns at the distraction." This is not yet over , “ she says threateningly. Before turning around and walking away.
I let out a long sigh as I understand my life won't be getting any easier. All I want is peace, and it seems I won't be getting that anytime soon. Or maybe anytime at all.
I won't be surprised if everyone hates me here. And that they make my life living hell.
I walk towards the beautifully made bed, with pure white sheets, not even a smidgen of dust. Where I throw myself and covered my face with a pillow. Hoping when I open my eyes again, this was just a nightmare. And I'll wake up, where all of this have never happened.
But when I remove the pillow again. I'm still in the same room. I just instead, continue staring at the ceiling. Just reimagining my entire life as tears sio out of my eyes.
Imagining if my life had been different. Where I didn't have to run or hide. Where everything is just perfect.
I wonder what would my life be like if my mother was still alive. Would all this still be happening? Would my life be this complicated?

I felt someone shake me, and when I open my eyes, I was still in the same room, still in the wedding gown. I really hoped to wake at any place but this. But it seems my fate is settled.
When I search for the person who woke me, I see Claudia's face.
“Good morning.“ A friendly smile planted on her face. Complimenting her virility brown eyes, they are dew-pond round. And tumbles of russet brown hair, that curtains her oval face.
“It's so early in the morning," I frown. I could notice from the window, it's still dawn. The sun, still bellow the horizon.
" I was sent to tell you that you should get ready. They want to see you in training, “ she announces. I jolt up from my sleeping position in shock.
" Training? “ I cry. Yes I do train, but only with Lisa. And she understands that I don't have a wolf. And her goal, was to at least be able to defend myself to a certain degree. Which is just normal humans not werewolves.
I know I can't fight a werewolf no matter how much I want to. My strength doesn't allow me to do that.
" Yes mam. This is your outfit.“ She points at the active wear on top of a chair. " And the shower is over there, “ she adds pointing at the end of the room. " And breakfast will be ready in a few minutes.“
" Why should I go training? I mean I don't even have twenty four hours staying in this place, “ I complain throwing my hands recklessly.
" It was Alpha's order, “ she replies.
"May I have some help with my dress please, “ I stood giving her my back. She begins unzipping it. " Does your Alpha know I don't have any other clothes to change to? “ I ask.
" I believe, “ she says.
" Do you by any chance know my friend Lisa spent the night? “ I turn around as she finishes unzipping.
" She was offered a guest room also.“
" Is there any chance I could skip the training today? “ I ask hopeless. I don't think I'm ready to be around all those people. I'd rather be stuck alone here for another two weeks or so. Even a year I wouldn't mind. As long my daily needs are met.
“I wouldn't advice it. Alpha hates it when we don't follow orders," she tells me.
“ But I don't want to go out there. Those people hate me. And I'm still..." I pause to let out a breath.
“But you can't hide here forever," she says. I've been hiding all my life. It's what I do best.
“Yes I can. At least these walls don't give nasty glares and weird looks," I say.
“You have nothing to worry about. No one is going to do anything to you," she assures with a smile. “ I'll see you in the kitchen for breakfast."
“But I don't know where the kitchen is," I whisper.
“I'll come and get you then," she smiles. She turns away and starting heading towards the door. She opens the door and gives a little nod before walking out.
I blow out all the I could from of my lungs. I remove the dress laying it on top of the bed and start walking towards the shower. Everything was there already. They had enough body wash, and shampoo.
I start cleaning myself, including my hair and body. Well at least they smell nice and strong.
After I was done I wrap a towel around my self, drying my hair while looking from the mirror of the medicine cabinet. Wrapping the towel around my head, I open it looking for a comb or a brush since I didn't see any around . But instead I find a brand new toothpaste, toothbrush, and unused deodorant, for both man and woman.
Well at least their are very caring for their guests to give them this kind of service.
When my mouth and armpits were smelling fresh, I head back to the bedroom. And went to search for the brush at the dressing table. Where lucky enough found it with other hair care tools, including a hair tie.
When my hair was nice and dry, it was time to put on some clothes.
“Mhhm," I hum checking the panties that were provided for me. They still had a tag on, but I still couldn't get around the idea of someone buying me a pair of panties. When they even get the time to buy these?
'this is so uncomfortable' I thought to myself. As I cringe putting them on and removing the tag.
****
Me and Claudia walk down the stairs, and I feel so anxious. I didn't want to be around anyone. I was perfectly fine all alone.
She leads me to the kitchen, where my nightmare started. Just a bunch of people staring, and glaring at me. Almost as if I'm their worst enemy.
“I didn't think we ate with rogues," a voice came behind me. I turn around to meet the same face from yesterday. “I'm not eating with in the same room as her. She stinks," she claims her arms folded.
“But—"
“Who are you to dare to even talk to me? Are you already forgetting your place, Omega?" She lashes at Claudia. “What's even the difference between eating same place as you or the sewers? Now both of you, find another place to eat,” she shoos us away.
Well, I guess this is my life now. How amazing.
