WANDA'S POV
I tried to keep my breathing steady but I couldn't help it. My heart pounded in my chest as I found myself cornered in a small corner of the house. Shannon and Summer, my tormentors, had me right where they wanted me. The two of them were laughing at me. I pressed my back against the rough stone wall, trying to control the fear inside me.
"Look at you, Wanda," Shannon sneered "Scared like a little mouse. Do you really think you can escape us?"
I swallowed hard "Please, Shannon, just leave me alone."
Shannon grinned evily "Oh, we're just getting started."
She turned to Summer and handed her a plastic cup. "It's your turn, Summer."
Summer took the cup with a smirk and disappeared behind a bush. I knew what was coming. The thought of it made a wave of nausea wash over me. I tried reasoning with Shannon, hoping to appeal to whatever shred of humanity she might have left.
"Shannon, please," I begged. "This is cruel. You don't have to do this."
Shannon just laughed harder. "Oh, but we do. It's fun watching you squirm. Just be patient, your energy drink will be ready soon."
A few moments later, Summer returned with the cup which was now filled with a yellowish liquid. She had peed inside the cup. She thrusted it towards me with an evil smile.
"Drink up, Wanda," she said "It's supposed to boost your level and power. I read that somewhere.
I stared at the cup in horror. My stomach churned at the sight of it. I couldn't do it, no matter how much they tormented me.
"I won't drink that." I whispered
Summer's smile faded, replaced by a glare "You don't have a choice. You're an Omega. You have no power here. Do as you're told."
I shook my head, refusing to take the cup. I knew they wouldn’t let me go without some sort of punishment.
"You ungrateful little b***h!" she spat. "If you won't drink it, then wear it."
Before I could react, Summer threw the contents of the cup at me. The warm liquid soaked my clothes, and the horrible smell made me gag. Shannon and Summer laughed. I couldn't help the tears that filled my eyes. I felt so humiliated..
"Look at her," Shannon mocked. "Our little pee-soaked Omega."
They advanced towards me with their fists clenched. I braced myself, knowing they would soon start to hit me. Shannon had her hands raised when suddenly a shadow caught my eye.
I looked up to see Julian standing there. He was shirtless. His bare chest glistened with sweat due to all the work he did in the garden with his father. Julian was my only friend. He was the only person who was nice to me. His father worked as an elite gardener for the nobles in the pack.
Shannon and Summer immediately changed their demeanor. They giggled at the sight of him. I didn't blame them. Julian was very cute..
"Hey, Julian," Shannon said with a smile, eyeing him up and down. "Looking good."
Julian ignored them. His eyes were focused on me. Without a word, he walked past the girls and scooped me up into his arms. I was too shocked to protest. As he carried me away, I could see Shannon and Summer glare at me.
"Thank you" I whispered to Julian.
He glanced down at me with a teasing smile. "You smell like pee, Wanda."
Tears filled my eyes, but I managed a small smile. "
I know. They... they did this to me."
Julian shoot his head "They're crazy."
"Julian, be careful. They're the daughters of nobles."
"I don't care. That doesn't give them the right to be cruel"
When we got far enough from them, he dropped me on the floor.
"Where are you going now?" I asked him.
"To the Beta's mansion. I have a job to do"
I looked up at him with pleading eyes "Can I come with?"
"You know I'll be busy"
I held his hand and pouted "Please"
I felt sad. I didn't want to be alone with my thoughts. I needed something to do to distract me.
He groaned "Fine. But you have to promise to stay put and not get in the way."
"I promise,"

I looked in awe as we arrived at the Beta's mansion.
"Wait here. I'll go get you something to clean up with." Julian said.
I nodded, unable to say anything.
The mansion was so different from anything I had ever seen. A part of me wanted to explore it even though I knew I shouldn't. . As Julian disappeared inside, I took a deep breath and decided to wait, just as he had asked.
But waiting wasn’t something I was good at, especially not in a place like this. My eyes roamed round the lovely garden in front and the perfrctly manicured lawns. The pathway was decorated with lovely stones.
My feet seemed to have a mind of their own as I started to wander around. I promised myself I would stay close to the entrance, but the beauty of the place pulled me in further. I walked along the stone path, admiring the lovely flowers and the gentle hum of birds . Everything felt so perfect.
As I ventured further, I found myself at the edge of a large pool. It was stunning. The water was a clear, inviting blue that sparkled in the sunlight. I had never been in a pool before, and the sight of it filled me with awe. I stepped closer, peering into the water and imagining what it would be like to swim in such a beautiful place.
Suddenly, the water rippled, and a man surfaced above the water. I gasped in surprise when I caught sight of him.
He was very handsome. He had lovely brown eyes, curly hair and a muscular build. The water droplets clung to his skin, glistening in the sunlight. For a moment, I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe. It felt like I was staring at a dream, something too perfect to be real.
Then, to my horror, I realized he was completely naked.
