Chapter Three | Day Two

~George's P.O.V~

It's Day Two and I still haven't said a thing to anyone, but I was secretly glad I had Xaffo. Luckily, today all the Alphas were busy getting ready for the fight to torment the Omegas.

The other Omegas were busy grooming their coats for the Alphas. I wanted nothing to do with either. I just wanted to hide and skip the claiming day

Xaffo glared at the other Alphas that were now staring me down like fresh meat. "I have to leave you here. This is the Omega-only area. Stay safe, please." I nuzzled Xaffo and watched as he nervously trotted off.

All the Omegas were looking at me, sure to be angry because all the 'Good' Alphas wanted me. I never wanted this. I never even had a choice!

I sat down as far away from the others as possible and tried to calm myself down. This event was going to be a nightmare.

I heard the speakers boom as they announced what was to happen. The more they talked the more afraid I got. I'm going to get killed.

All sounds around me blurred as my name was called. I'm going first!? I tried my best to hide, but when the Alpha leader spotted me, it was over. I stood up, slightly crouching. I kept my head down while following the Alpha leader, my legs shaking, my tail curled close around my hind legs.

The arena was huge. All eyes were on me with shocked expressions as I entered the arena. My secret was out. They knew there was in fact a male omega. I could hear the whoops and hollers from the crowds.

"Chin up, Omega! You've got quite a crowd!" I heard. That didn't make any of a difference. I was still terrified.

When we arrived at the middle of the large arena, I could see across from me a crowd of Alphas waiting to claim me. One Alpha, however, stood out. It was the large dark gray Alpha that had scared the others away on the first day of the event. Of course- like all the others- he wanted me.

The leader turned to me. "Now stay put and watch the show. Try not to bite any Alphas," he laughed, trotting away.

Now I was alone; just me and a crowd of alphas. I knew the event would start and it just made me want to bolt away. When the countdown started, I crouched myself as low as I could go without touching the ground.

As soon as the Alphas were released, they sprinted straight towards me, but every time they would get close, another would tackle them down. Growls and barks surrounded me. Teeth and claws, blood and whimpers.

When they finally started getting close to me, I knew I had to do something. I glared at the current Alpha coming toward me, crouching lower before bunching my legs under me and pushing off the dusty ground in a mighty leap, soaring over their heads.

All the Alphas that were not paying enough attention slammed into the walls while the closer ones got whacked in the face. I glanced behind me for a split second, seeing that there were still a large amount of dogs after me. I took a sharp left, cutting them off and making most of them tumble. Growls and howls followed still close behind me.

It wasn't every day that you saw an Omega fight back or run. Some, of course, were too busy fighting each other to join the chase. I got nipped at, telling me that they were catching up, taunting me. I took a sharp right turn, pushing myself into a faster sprint to avoid the chasers.

I looked right, spotting the large, dark gray alpha. Unlike the rest, he was just watching me. I was just his source of pathetic entertainment.

When an Alpha gets too tired or hurt, they can leave the arena at any given time, forfeiting the right to the claim, which has begun to happen more frequently as the event went on.

I was quickly losing my energetic speed. What I didn't expect to happen was me tripping and falling face-first into the dusted dirt. I quickly jumped back up, but I knew running was useless. I was tired and weak.

"Well, well, well, run out of energy, Omega? You gave up quite a fight" They all laughed around me, and I panted out long breaths.

"Just-" I let out a staggered breath. "Just let me rest for a little bit." They glanced back and forth at each other and just howled their laughter. Of course, selfish as always. That would never change.

I didn't want to run anymore, they could tell. They started attacking each other, I would have taken this chance and ran but I had no energy left. I watched from a safe distance afraid of who would win. I laid down glancing over at the fights.

I gave a low growl as they approached me.

"Come on now? Do you really want to fight?" The answer was- obviously, no, but I didn't have much of a choice. I got up, shaking the dirt out of my thick coat. They gave me wide stares and I smirked at them before clawing powerfully. They backed up in an instant, confused that an Omega was fighting back. Every lunge they tried to take I would dodge or lunge back. I twisted my body, following the Alpha's steps. If he tried anything, I would be able to react quickly.

As soon as he moved a paw towards me, I lunged. I grabbed a hold of him and sank my teeth into his neck deeply. He yelped, running with his tail tucked underneath him, I smirked turning to the next Alpha.

Teeth and claws bared, howls and growls sounded around.

I let out a whine as an Alpha lodged his teeth onto my leg. I twisted my body around to try to get loose as the Alpha yelped loudly. I stood back to see the large dark gray Alpha biting deeply into his neck and dragging him to the dirty ground.

All the other Alphas stepped back, staring at the scene.

"Last time I checked, there was a rule about hurting our Omegas." They all looked stunned. "Go!" he let out a deep roar. They all turned, high-tailed it, and ran full-speed away.

The Alpha still had a tight grip on the smaller Alpha. When he was let out of his strong jaws, he got up, sprinting away in fear. All eyes were on me. He approached me, causing me to back up.

I was about to take off when I was grabbed by my scruff. "Where are you going, Omega?" I struggled in his grip, but it made no difference. I wasn't escaping anytime soon unless he let me go.

"Please, just let me leave!"

He dropped me down, pushing me against his chest so I couldn't escape. He nuzzled at my scent gland.

I yelped, begging. "Please, no! Please!".

He glared down at me, sighing loudly. "I'm sorry, little Omega."

I knew as soon as his teeth sunk down that things would never be the same again...
