Chapter 5

The Rock Mountain, twenty hours earlier...

I stood in front of the frigde. But my mind was still lingering to what Alpha's Jordan told me hours ago.

I could be free from here. I could have my own life. Be normal just like everybody else I saw in this pack. I could rest more than two or three hours in a day. I could eat a decent food, I don't have to wait for other people's left over. I don't have to offer my body, like a dirty whore anymore....

I could at least heal my wounds. I maybe a werewolf but because of constant beating, fatigue, and hunger made me so weak that my body almost gave up to heal its wound.

In the past, where I still live a life like normal people, I was a young cheerful wolf with healthy body. Even if I grabbed a branch full of thorns, it would not hurt me....

Oh, how I longed for those days to come. It's like missing something that I don't remember I have.

But, what if he lied to me? What if he never intended to let me go at all and torture me more instead?

Alpha Jordan never once promise my freedom. When I keep telling him that I want to leave, he always said sweet things to persuade me to stay, until finally he didn't use those words anymore and got straight to the point. He won't let me leave. He had the guards dragged me or beat me to the point I could no longer move a finger and tossed me back to my shabby room under the stairs.

I remembered him say that it is better to stay here and eat for free than out there living as a Rogue. Now that I've been living my whole life under his torment. It better to be dead than here at all.

But than again, he is right. They didn't need me anymore if Silver Moon agreed to have this business deal with them.

I just need to do everything, he said...

I looked at my hands and the purplish there fade away a little. I need to hide this, that Alpha from Silver Moon didn't need to see this and looked at me with disgust, just like everyone else.

I quickly opened the frigde and took some ice cube while looking around. I'll be dead if Laura or Haris found me. I can't die now. At least not yet. I want to suck the air of freedom before I finally gave up on life.

I sat on the floor not too far from the frigde, found myself on the corner just beside the sink and rest there. I bent my knees to my stomach to protect myself and began to put the ice cube on my wounds and rubbing it gently. Hoping it heal a little faster. I got these wound recently, for not ironing Laura's clothes properly. And Haris just adding it because I late come to his room. I was exhausted. Even breathing hurt my ribs.

My hands trembled when I'm thinking about the things I should do to gain this infamous ruthless Alpha's favor. I heard from Laura that he is strikingiy hot but cold blooded at the same time. And it is not his appearance that we should focus about. But his nature.

That kind of person will surely look at me as his punching bag too if I were to offend him with my mere present.

Hold it, Chloe, you need to be free. Just this once. And if I fail, I hope they let me die quickly. I don't wish to endure this any longer. I clutch myself as my stomach ache to the point it felt burn. What did I eat today? None? Despite for so many food I'd prepared.

I'm hungry. I need to eat something.

I looked around and hoping I could find any left over from those foods. I wanted to stand but my knees were shaking. Then, I heard some footsteps coming over. I quickly hide myself more, even though I know they will eventually saw me crouching here. Let's hope not.

"They are here! Oh my Goddess, did you see him? Alpha Cillian? He is the most hottest guy in the continent!" She sounded so excited.

They were two other Omegas with empty trays and plates on their hands. They put it down on the sink but they didn't seem to notice me under here.

"Yeah, I saw him. He's definitely the most handsome guy I've ever seen. But none of us should stole a glance at him, you know." Said the other.

"Hahh... I know. Just being in his present sent me shiver..." She hugged herself. "Is it true that he ripped their late Alpha's body into two with his bare hands?"

Dug! My heart almost fell to my stomach when I heard that.

"The rumour has it. He also killed the late Alpha's entire family and rule Silver Moon ever since. He didn't even need to transform to be that strong."

"Yeah, I wonder if Alpha Jordan could persuade him to ally with us. Their pack is much stonger and wealthy than us. It's normal for him to look down at us no matter what. Alpha Jordan also didn't like any Alpha with such power but younger than him...." She whispered so low but I can hear it as they were standing so close to me.

"Shh! watch your mouth or we'll dead! Just grateful enough we didn't have to deal with such cold-blooded beast like him." Her friend tugged her shirt while she was washing the plates. Their whispered became even slower but I could still hear it

That Alpha sounded like the one you should avoid and run into. Someone with his right mind wouldn't even look at his eyes.

"Not us, but Miss Laura and Sir Harris, will. I heard Miss Laura dolled herself to get his attention. Who in the world want to be with such ruthless guy?!"

"How did you get such information?!" Her friend said in disbelieve tone. Oh, i believe her friend. I knew what kind of woman Laura is.

"Oh, I got it from the other Omegas that helped her dress earlier. I hope we can see this banquet from afar..."

"We will, since we will work with the foods and drinks. Just hope we don't make mistake in front of Silver Moon's people and that super hot but cold-blooded Alpha. Or you surely be dead."

They were finish and taking their leave. Meanwhile I couldn't breathe down here. My body shaking not only from fatigue and hunger but also from fear.

Surely, Alpha Jordan use me as the scapegoat for this business agreement. The person he intend to deal, was that kind of person who rip someone's body into two.

I was really nothing other than a tool for them, I smiled in irony.

Another footstep coming and this time she was looking for me.

"Chloe! Come! Luna Fern ordered you to bring another tray of wine glasses!"

I pushed myself to stand and it was Dara, who told me to get some ice cubes for my wound.

"I'm here..." I said weakly. I didn't do it on purpose. But I don't have the remain energy to speak properly anymore.

"Good. Here, I'll help you." She work faster than I am. Placing four glasses on the tray and handed it to me.

"Can you do it?" She looked worry and I nodded my head, forcing a smile.

I'll try this for the last time. I have nothing to lose either. If he favor me than I can escape. If he disgust by my mere presence, then I will ask him to kill me instead...
