Chapter 2
Three days ago, when we had been whisked away from our defenseless village in that raid, the tasks I was given were menial. Both Nana and I had been ordered to clean many different bathrooms. We scrubbed the floors until they were shining and did a lot of laundry too. The clothes had either smelled of blood or sweat. Whenever anyone made any mistake, they were whipped seriously. No one cared if you were female or male when delivering the harsh punishment of whips. One time we saw a girl dressed nicely ordered to make the meal and deliver to a specific room.
"Her dress is pretty, do you think she got it as a reward for something?" Nana had said that day. She was scolded for talking.
The next day, I had seen the same girl in a different dress. It was a bit more shabby than the last one but she held the meal that had been prepared. When the guard went away for two minutes, I had approached her to ask her questions.
"Hey, why are you dressed differently?" I asked her while staring at the food. The girl was shaking while holding the tray.
"Help me." She whispered as she started crying.
"What do I do?" I asked her. I had been planning to help her and find out more about this crazy place but I shouldn't have done that.
I took her tray of food and when the guard that should show her the way came, it wasn't the same one. He couldn't tell that it was a different person holding the tray.
"Follow me!" He had said sternly. I had followed him silently until we got to a door which he knocked on and was asked to send the food in.
When I went into the room, I went straight to the table and dropped the tray. I turned swiftly in an attempt to scurry away but I smelled it. An intoxicating sweet smell was coming from the Alpha that approached me.
"Where are you going to?" He asked before smacking me on the butt. I squirmed uncomfortably and went to the door. It was locked.
"Let me go!" I screamed and was slapped in return.
"Very disrespectful. Is that what you were supposed to do?" He yelled. I shook my head.
"What were you supposed to do?" He asked but I had no idea.
"I was supposed to deliver the food," I whispered shakily.
"No wench, you are the meal." He said with a sneaky laugh before picking me up from the floor as if I was nothing.
"No, let go of me." I cried. My struggles were fruitless.
"I'm in my rut and you are finely proportioned to sate me." He whispered as he sniffed my neck.
"Please!" I cried.
"Shut up and submit to me, Omega!" He commanded as his eyes changed color. That was the very last thing I heard before that intoxicating sweet smell flooded my senses.
Many hours later, I found myself back in the dingy chamber that I shared with Nana and three other girls. When I had regained consciousness, Nana was beside me crying. She must have been helpless.
Now two days later and I'm in a similar situation, only this time, I have undergone their stupid ritual of meals preparing meals for Alphas. As I saw the stupid smile on the guard's face when I entered, I realized what it meant. There was a scent in the room this time. It was much more different from the first Alpha.
And the room were a huge contrast to one another too. While the first alpha's room had been ridden with scribbles and claw marks on the wall, this one was neater. No stains or marks on the wall, just the soft yellow paint that must have been the original one he met at the camp. The room gave off a calming and relaxing vibe. I walked to the table and dropped the tray, then walked back to the door to pick up the second tray. I was well aware that I was being watched while taking this little trip.
After setting the table, I quietly walked to the door without saying anything. I sat cross legged and watched as he emerged from the darkest corner of the room. His smell gave me a heady feeling and made me pool in between my legs. I clenched them shut in fright as he cleared his throat.
"What did you use for the stew?" His voice was really deep. It sent chills while also giving the feeling of safety.
"Meat." I replied carefully.
"What kind of meat?" His inquisitive tone wasn't scary at all.
I worried now for my safety. The quiet and calm ones were always the more dangerous ones. At least that was what Leo's mama always taught us.
"Do not make me repeat the question, lady." There was a warning in his tone now.
"An arm." I whispered loud enough for him to hear.
Somehow his voice was doing things to me that I couldn't exactly explain.
"Come," he said much more calmly and I stood up.
"Yes?" I answered when I got to him.
"Sit on the bed." He ordered. I sat on the bed, waiting for what was to come even though I didn't want it.
"You're ready for me. I like that," he growled lowly. Standing up, he walked slowly to the bed. Each step he took in my direction, I took two further into the bed. I was trying to get away from him.
"I am not," I whispered. I doubt that I was audible.
"That means you know what is to come and are prepared for it." He smirked. He had really handsome features. I knew that because he was towering over me.
"You smell really good. I could just eat you up right now," he sniffed my neck and tried to touch me in the place that was moist for him.
"Let go of me. I don't want this," I snapped all of a sudden. It must have surprised or angered him because I could see his eyes change back and forth.
"You don't understand how much I'm trying to control myself by going soft on you, omega." He said in a low warning tone.
"Omega?" That term had been used on me since I arrived at this sad place.
"I can smell your arousal, Omega." He was finally touching there but lightly. It made me squirm and want to get away. It also made me want to thrust forward so his fingers would be touching fully.
"Now quit being stubborn, spread those legs wide, and welcome me with gratitude." I stared at him quietly. I was dripping wet, but I wasn't letting any other Alpha use me like that. The first had been brutal that I had actually passed out.
"I am sorry, Alpha, but I would have to reject your offer." He froze and stared blankly at me for a while, before standing up. He looked stunned more by the fact that he did not believe anyone could reject him.
"What did you say?" He asked in disbelief.
"I reject your offer to mount me." I sat up with determination.
"That's a first." He muttered before looking away from me. I wanted to go to him and sit on his legs. He looked downcast.
"Uhm, can I go?" I had nothing to do here.
"You cannot. Imagine I had a hot and willing omega in my bedroom with me but she left after a few minutes." He eyed me.
"What do I do here then?" I asked, staring at the room. There were a few books, a board game and empty papers with pencils.
"You'll talk to me. Tell me about yourself," he said.
"Can I at least know your name?" I asked him. I don't know what came over me but the fact that he wasn't doing anything after I rejected him made me feel happy, in control and comfortable. Since I got to this place, he was the second person I was having a real conversation with, other than Nana.
"Kane."
