Episode 15

As we continued on our way to the pack's clinic, I took the opportunity to ask Silva a few questions. "Has this individual revealed his identity to you?" I inquired, to which Silva shook his head. "No, Alpha. He is still in a comatose state. Perhaps when he awakens, we will learn more from him," he replied.

"Did you say that Lucia found him? How did that happen?" I asked, feeling surprised. It was perplexing to imagine that Lucia, who had been plotting her escape, was now the one rescuing someone else.

Silva and I had already arrived at the clinic, and he directed my attention to the guy in question. "We discovered him and Lucia in the woods that evening," Silva explained.

I approached the patient, studying him closely before glancing back at Silva. "You have no idea who this man is?" I queried.

Silva shook his head in response. "No, Alpha. We do not recognize him. We simply saw that he was marked with our emblem," he replied. I lifted the man's right arm, which bore our pack's symbol, confirming Silva's statement.

I scrutinized the emblem on the man's arm, and it was evident that he bore our pack's distinct mark. "This man is not only connected to us, but he is one of us," I declared, my gaze fixed on the emblem.

I turned to the doctor and issued a command. "Doctor, ensure that he receives the best care possible. He must not perish, for he has much to reveal to us. None of us are acquainted with him," I instructed.

"Understood, Alpha," the doctor acknowledged, and Silva and I began to depart from the clinic.

As we left the clinic, I instructed the doctor, "Please inform me as soon as he regains consciousness."

Upon our return to my quarters, I turned to Silva and requested, "Please inform anyone who may come searching for me that I am currently unavailable. I require some rest and do not wish to be disturbed."

"I mean everyone," I emphasized, "I do not wish to be disturbed by anyone at this time." With that, I entered my room and closed the door.

★ SILVA ★

Perhaps this would be a perfect opportunity for me to express my affection for UK.

I made my way to the kitchen where she was currently stationed, working alongside a few others. As soon as she spotted me, UK rushed over and embraced me. "Silva, you came to find me, didn't you?" she exclaimed.

I smiled and returned her hug. "Yes, I did. I just wanted to see you and spend some time with you," I replied.

"I wouldn't have come to this place if it weren't for you," I said to her, and she responded with a smile and a deep kiss that caught the attention of those around us.

"Okay, everyone, I've finished cooking. The only thing I ask of you is to wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen," UK ordered before jumping onto me.

I then carried her to my room, where I gently placed her on the bed.

As we continued to kiss passionately, I firmly grasped her head while my right hand caressed her breast. She reciprocated by pulling me closer and beginning to remove my shirt.

However, our moment was interrupted by a knock on my door. We both paused and looked towards the door, momentarily distracted.

Assuming it was my friend Justin, who often enters my room without permission, I hesitated before deciding whether to answer the door or not.

"I'm busy, Justin!" I called out in irritation, trying to resume my intimate moment with UK. However, we were interrupted by a furious knock from Diana.

"Open the damn door!" she yelled, causing UK to jump out of the bed, clearly frightened and restless.

I couldn't blame her, as the situation could turn quite ugly if Diana discovered our attempt to have sex.

It wasn't that our actions were illegal or harmful to anyone, but Diana had a strong disdain for omegas and saw them as nothing more than slaves. Even I knew that I couldn't protect UK from Diana's fury.

As UK cowered in the corner, clearly frightened, I quickly composed myself and stepped out of the room to face Diana.

"Sorry, Diana," I began to say, but she immediately cut me off.

"How dare you address me by my name?!" Diana bellowed at me, causing me to take a step back and compose myself.

"My apologies, Your Highness. What can I do for you?" I asked politely.

"I need to see my father immediately," she ordered, already heading towards his room without waiting for my reply.

Despite her brusque manner, I felt it was important to inform her of what she needed to know.

"I am sorry, my princess, but your father has requested not to receive any visitors at the moment. He needs to rest," I shouted as she stopped in her tracks and turned back.

"But I want to see him!" she yelled at me, her voice loud and her emotions boiling over like hot water.

"I'm sorry, but he is not available," I responded, but before I could say anything else, she landed a hot slap on my right cheek.

I placed my right hand on my cheek, wincing at the pain inflicted by her hot slap. It was high time that she learned to stop this kind of behavior.

"How dare you question my orders! Take me to my father right now!" she yelled at me, but I could only stare at her with a heart boiling with anger.

"So you refuse to take me to him? Fine then. Do you think I'm unaware of what's going on between you and UK?"

I was shocked as she spoke. How could she possibly know about the relationship between UK and myself when she had never seen us together before?

"Alright, UK! I need you to come out of that room right now!" she shouted, and without hesitation, UK rushed out of my room.

I immediately grabbed her hand. "Diana, you need to put an end to this madness!"

Despite knowing that I was playing with fire, I couldn't help but yell at her with an angry voice. I had to protect my loved one, and I knew that UK would face severe punishment if she ever follow Diana out of here.

"Who gave you the audacity to hold back my maid?!" she yelled at me, but I ignored her and continued to grip UK's hand tightly.

"Just let me go," she pleaded, tears streaming down her face. I couldn't bear to let her go, but I knew that holding her back would only make matters worse.

Reluctantly, I released her hand. "Now run to my room and wait for me there," she ordered, and UK left without hesitation.

"Do you think you'll be safe if I tell my father what happened here?" she asked, her tone threatening.

I shouted at her, "Your father is not against couples in any way!'"

"Well, I am! Not with my maid!" she yelled back before storming away. I couldn't hold my anger and made a threatening remark to her.

As she turned to face me, I said, "When the river you're bathing in starts leaking and runs dry, fire will start burning. I swear to God, I'm going to roast you in that fire!" My heart was boiling like hot water.

Although I was expecting a harsh reaction from her, she didn't react as badly as I thought she would.

"Hmm, and you think you'll still be alive? By then, you'll probably have drowned in this river!" she yelled at me before storming off.

I was left in pain, realizing that things had turned out worse than I had anticipated and could no longer be mended.

★ LUCIA ★

I am already loving this place; it's quite pleasant, I must say. Arianna has become my best friend already, and I can't help but wonder why Diana gets angry with such lovely people.

Using Arianna as an example, I believe the omegas are doing their best, and they deserve the best in return.

Arianna always makes me smile and helps me forget my sorrows. She's so nice that I can't imagine going anywhere without her by my side.

Anyway, we're currently discussing the pack, but my mind suddenly reminded me of the victim I met in the bush the other day. It's not good that I forgot about him while I was enjoying myself. I need to check up on him.

"Where is the pack's clinic, Arianna?" I asked, looking quite urgent.

"We need to go there to meet someone," I said as she stood up, following me as I stepped out of the house.

"Before you can lay your eyes on him, my princess, you need the Alpha's approval," she said.

"Okay, let's go see my father," I replied, and we headed towards his cottage.

When we arrived at my father's room, I went to knock on the door, but Arianna interrupted me.

"My princess, you need Silva's permission to see the Alpha," she said. I found it funny that I needed permission to see my own father, so I ignored her and knocked on the door.

Arianna screamed and covered her mouth.

"My princess!" she exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" I asked, misunderstanding her sudden outburst.

"It carries a penalty of banishment!" she exclaimed. I looked at her in shock as tears streamed down her face, then, Diana walked in.

"So, you're finally leaving?" she said.
