chapter three

Judging from the look on Alpha Rex's face I could tell he also heard the growl and his scowl was pointed at the maid he was offering to me.

No wolf dares to growl in front of the Alpha King except his mate or any Alpha female so he was angry and confused.Alpha Rex was able to convince him that it was just a random pup of one of the pack member.He didn't believe but he let it slide because he just wanted to leave that pack as soon as possible,he had other packs to attend to.

Alpha King's POV;

She looked so malnourished unlike the other omegas I saw,but why should I care?.Alpha Rex and his pack bid me goodbye as I left their pack but I didn't respond because I was already frustrated from all the time-wasting and non amusing performance their omegas displayed.Maybe it was nice,but it was nonsense and totally uncalled for to me.I headed back to my pack to have lunch and rest a bit before visiting the next pack for the day.I ordered one of my escort to put my gift on his horse which shocked him and all his other escorts but they obeyed me instantly, i couldn't blame them i felt pity for no one especially not a maid from another pack but i couldn't help it.She was put on my escort horse and we journeyed back to my pack.

Allie's POV;

I tried to calm Akela down after Uncle Rex told the Alpha King I am an omega,that was why the growl was not so loud. But of course no matter how discreet I tried to be there were two alpha males in the gathering, even if other betas and omegas wouldn't hear it and I'm sure they did, there was no way the alpha didn't. I got really scared when Alpha king rose up and asked who made the growl and silently scolded my wolf for almost getting me in trouble. I was already in trouble as it was going to join another pack as a maid, not knowing what the future held for me, but the wolf didnt care from the looks of things.I was led outside the pack's gate by two omegas and was carried on a horse by an escort of the King after his order which put shock on all their faces and made me realize that he usually isn't so nice.I was hesitant to be put on the horse because it was a white horse and the bruises between my thighs were bleeding the rubbing together when I knelt was the cause. I didn't have a choice to make so I got on the horse.As the horse rode on ,I kept wincing in pain because the horse's movement made the horse haired skin to keep throbbing by thighs which caused the bruises to open up for more blood to flow and horse's color was transformed to red. I really wanted to get down as I felt very uncomfortable and guilty for staining the alpha's horse. I did not want to drag any attention to myself. I wanted to go as unnoticed as possible and just could not put up with any more drama.Thankfully no one noticed till they were minutes away from the Alpha King's pack,then one of the other escorts beside the one carrying me noticed and yelled "Blood,Blood,Blood!".The Alpha King's attention was drawn and he ordered that I should be brought down from the horse.He was raging,lamenting and he regretted offering me a horse ride ,he said he would have left me to walk behind his escort horses .He grabbed me by the neck and asked me why I didn't take proper care of myself since I knew I was on my period,He asked me again why I didn't tell him I would stain his horse if I got on it.He didn't give me any chance to explain myself,instead he made me walk the rest of the journey left to the pack and gave me the punishment of washing the horse once we got the pack till its sparkling white.

At that point I was too weak to even speak or think, my vision got blurry and I could barely breathe. My legs were wobbly and felt like jelly. I struggled and managed to walk to the pack despite the pains.Immediately we got to the Iron gates pack, I could not hold up anymore, my vision turned black and all i saw was darkness.

Alpha Damien's pov

I was burning with so much rage I wanted to punch something. It was totally unlike me to offer my horse to anyone let alone a maid but I did anyway and my horse got stained in return. I was yelling at how much punishment she would get as a result of staining my horse when she passed out. She looked so tired and worn out and I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. I quickly refrained from having such thoughts and ordered that she get cleaned up and her wounds tended to. In the process of them taking her away her dress rose up her thighs and I saw the blood stains on her body. I felt an unexplainable surge of more guilt than I felt before and it angered me beyond measure. Who would hurt her like that, what did she do to deserve that but looking back up at her innocent and pale face I couldn't help but think that she did not deserve it and that angered me even more and i didnt know why. What was wrong with me? Who was she and how could she manage to stir up these kinds of emotions in me. I did not like how i was feeling and i realized that her being around me would only worsen the feelings i was trying to suppress but i could not send her away either. I was never in a situation where I did not know what to do so this felt totally alien to me.

I watched them take her away and decided to go about my alpha duties.

While I was working trying to solve a case involving a rival pack seeking war with us. One of the guards that I ordered to take her away came to tell me she was not on her period but had been severely injured between her thighs. I clenched my teeth and could not help but wonder why was tortured so much in her own pack by her own uncle. Something about it made me feel like she was not meant to be a maid. So what was her story, who made her like this? What did she do to deserve this?

I excused the guard and continued about my work, convincing myself she was just another unfortunate human but I could not bring myself to that realization. I could not focus and I knew I would continue to be useless and productive to myself and the pack if I did not get answers.

I summoned the guard again and instructed him to get me a background check done on her as soon as possible. I needed all her information, every single one about her and I instructed him to do it discreetly as I did not want anyone else knowing about my slow growing obsession with some common maid. I did not need my reputation changed. I loved the fear I instilled in people but this was a burning need I could not control. I had to get answers and I had to get them fast. I dismissed him but I also knew that alone was not enough to calm my raging nerves. So I called for the nurse who was taking care of the maid and asked how she was doing. There was a look of shock on her face but she cleared before another second passed like she never made it but nothing ever passed by me. I ignored it and listened as she filled me in on the severity of the situation. Turns out she was seriously tortured and had been as malnourished as she looked. I instructed that she be taken care of but only because she was my maid definitely not because i cared and i needed my maids and people in my pack to look good it was a good tell tale for me and she was a member of the pack now she just needed to undergo the pack initiation process and i would officially become her alpha according to the culture of my pack. But I had a feeling it went beyond my protective nature towards the pack and I wasn't sure I wanted to find out.
