Alpha's Revenge
“Yes, your majesty.” says Fredrick, but I can’t get my voice to work and instead holds on to Fredrick tighter. I wish Reigna was here.
“I do not speak twice and expect an answer from both of you.” says the King. I look up and see he is staring straight at me.
“Yes, your majesty.” I manage to say softly but I know that he heard me.
“Ally, I know that all of this is hard for you, but you’re going to have to tell the King yourself everything. Fredrick can’t step in and finish for you this time. The King cannot know if you’re lying or not if you don’t speak. It will come across as truth because Fredrick believes you, but we need the account of events from you. You understand what I’m saying to you?” asks Beta Dylan.
“Yes, I understand.” He takes a seat near the King and Fredrick clears his throat before going into his part of the story again.
Sitting next to Fredrick, I play with my fingers while they listen to him give a recount of the attack and what happened after for him and when he finishes, he grabs my hand and gently squeezes it for reassurance.
“Remember what I told you and you’ll be fine.” he says before letting go of my hand.
I straighten up in my chair and begin to tell my story for the second time and I leave nothing out. I’m surprised at how I can talk about the rape and abuse this time; the only difference is that I'm angry this time. I’m not angry at the people in the room for making relive what happened, but instead I am angry at the ones that did this to me. While it was happening and even afterwards, I never felt anger. I felt like because I’m an Omega that I deserved what was happening because I was a weaker wolf even though my fighting skills were very good. Being an Omega doesn’t mean that you’re weak by any means, it just means that you aren’t a ranked wolf.
When I’m done with my story, the men in the room all look ready to kill. I can only calm Fredrick down, so I’m still in danger if the Beta or King decide to shift or something while I’m in here. My mind starts racing and I feel a panic attack coming on. I get up and sit on the floor before putting my head in between my legs and take slow and steady breaths until the attack passes. When I look up again, all three of them are staring at me and looking confused.
“I’m sorry. Whenever I get overwhelmed, I tend to have panic attacks. There’s the Gamma aura, Royal Beta aura, and Lycan King aura all exploding in a room with an Omega present. I’m sorry that I’m not strong enough to take all of that at once. Fredrick, maybe you shouldn’t wish for me to be your mate. Can’t have a mate having panic attacks from just being in a room with ranked wolves.” I get up and run out of the room and followed my scent back to the room I was given earlier. I surprised myself by even finding the room without having my wolf, though my sense of smell had been improving lately.
Sitting on the sofa in my room, I wonder how my mate will react to getting an Omega for a mate. It will probably go fine as long as my mate is an Omega like myself. Any high-ranking wolf will reject me the second they find out that we are mates, or worse, they’ll use me to bear them an heir and then toss me aside. I’ve heard of that happening to some Omegas and they were never the same afterwards. There was a story on one girl killing herself because her mate used her, wouldn’t let her see or take care of her own child, and eventually took a chosen mate after rejecting her publicly. The pack treated her like crap and when she couldn’t take it anymore, she slit her wrists. She was found in her bathtub with a note on the counter that was left for her mate. Nobody knows what that note said, but he wasn’t the same after that day.
A knock came to the door and I stood up and walked to the door opening it wide. On the other side was a girl about my age carrying a tray of food and juice. Stepping aside so that she could enter, I noticed that there were also two guards at my door. They were probably here to make sure that I didn’t run away from the palace or wander around. I still cannot believe that I ran out of a room with the Lycan King and without his permission. He didn’t give me permission to be dismissed and that is a blatant offense to him. I’ll have to take whatever punishment he hands me, “I doubt that it will be any worse than what I’ve already been through.” I say to myself.
“Ma’am, just let the guards know when you’re done and I’ll be back to take the tray away. Oh, and before I forget, you are to be back in the Kings’ office as soon as you’re done eating, but take your time. He said to eat your food and come down once you’ve collected yourself.” She then turns and walks out of the door.
“Well, it could have been worse. I mean I could have been executed without a last meal.” I say out loud before sitting at the table that she set the tray on and started to devour the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans and cornbread that she left for me.
Now I am standing in front of the Kings’ office and wringing my fingers from pure nervousness. I take some deep breaths and raise my hand to knock but before my hand connects with the door, he tells me to enter.
