THE OMEGA REVENGE

RILEY'S POV

I tossed around in frustration as the noise from downstairs kept disturbing and interrupting my peaceful night's rest.

'Who are those making that hell of noise?' I thought to myself, trying to sit upright on the bed. Everywhere was quiet and silent, so I could easily point out my father's voice from the noise that sounded like an argument.

Dragging myself up lazily, I wore my flip-flops and made my way downstairs.

The first thing that welcomed me was the tense atmosphere, but I was distracted by the alpha's furious expression. He looked so mad that his eye color was even changing, which meant that he was trying to control his wolf from unleashing.

"I would not have expected that from you, my trusted beta," he growled angrily.

My father's head was bowed low, and my mother's silent sobs could be heard.

"What is going on here?" I mumbled in a low voice, my face held a mixture of fear and curiosity.

No one answered my question, but they all turned to look at me, which was a sign that they heard my question.

"Can someone tell me what exactly is going on?" I yelped in a loud voice, unable to bear the heavy atmosphere in the living room.

"You can question your betrayal of a father," Alpha Charles retorted harshly. My eyes widened as my heart gave a sudden leap.

Alpha Charles has always been a gentle and considerate Alpha, so I was shocked by his outburst.

"I am already wasting time bickering with you," he said and signaled to the guard that was standing not too far from him.

"Since you are not ready to admit and confess to your crime, seize them, guards," three guards rushed forward, two seized my dad, and the remaining one cuffed my mom's hand. The sight was so heartbreaking that tears unknowingly dropped from my eyes.

My father was struggling desperately to break free from the two guards holding him down. His action was just a self-protection act, but that unknowingly landed him in more trouble. The alpha moved forward and forcefully fed him something. My father's face twisted in pain, and I could tell from his reaction that he was just fed a wolf bane.

Alpha Charles moved away from their midst as my father had quit his action of trying to break free. He dusted his hand and made a cruel statement, "Both the beta and beta's mate will be killed while their daughter will be stripped to a mere omega," he dropped the bomb, and I immediately fell to my knees.

As if that wasn't enough, he faced my mom and rubbed salt on her injury, "You should be thankful to me for making such a considerate decision. I don't want you to go through the pain of losing your mate," he finished with a smirk.

Rivers of tears found their way down my face as I heard this sad news. My mother was desperately crying while my father's eyes were red. Every one of us was sad except the ruthless Alpha.

"Please, please don't..." I kept sobbing loudly, showing my weak and vulnerable side in front of Alpha Charles.

All my pleas fell on deaf ears as he commanded his guards to take my parents away, "Let's go."

He turned his back to leave after dispelling this instruction. I hurried to follow the group of people, but my pace was nothing near theirs. We got out of the house only to meet some chiefs; their expressions were sober and neutral. I didn't dwell on their presence here before I held tightly to the Alpha's trouser.

He glanced down at my kneeling posture in fury and shook off my hand from his cloth.

"Get off me and tell me what you have to say. Note that I have limited time to spare," he barked at me, making me shudder lightly.

"My parents, they... they didn't do anything, they didn't betray the pack. I can..." I coughed out as I tried to connect the incoherent words that were coming out of my mouth. He hissed and was about to continue with his stride when I stopped him again.

"Please, don't," I cried out.

"I already gave you a chance to defend them, what the hell do you want?" He lamented, gnashing his teeth angrily. My tears paused for some seconds as I forgot to react to his violent tone. I just stared at his face, wondering whether this is the Alpha Charles that we all know.

"If you dare intervene again, you will go with your parents, and all of you will be beheaded together," he threatened. My father, who has been quiet all along, was triggered by his threat. He hurriedly gave me a warning gaze to follow the instructions of Alpha Charles.

I bit my lip tightly to prevent myself from saying anything. I felt physically and mentally drained.

"Can you at least temper justice with mercy?" I tried out my last luck, but I unfortunately angered him further.

"Listen to me and follow my instructions," he lashed out in a commanding tone.

"Daisy, just follow his instructions, and you will be fine," my dad finally voiced out, giving me a pleading look. I shook my head in understanding, my bones weakened as I have never seen my father look so helpless before. If I was told something like this would happen overnight, I would totally argue with the person.

"Father," I screamed out, pain and anguish obvious in my tone.

"Your screams are getting way too loud for me," he said to me, deliberately twitching his ears.

I managed to force myself to hold back my tears. I swallowed back my tears as two strands of mucus found their way out of my nose.

"Let's return to the palace," he said to his cohorts, and all the guards and chiefs made their way to their separate vehicles.

"And before it slips out of my mind, you will be evacuating the beta house," Alpha Charles added the last straw that broke the camel's back.
