The Tormented Omega

"Oh no no no! How could this happen!" Isabella paces around her basement room with tears in her eyes, streaming down her face like morning dew.After throwing up the little lunch she took, a was definitely convinced that she was pregnant. For the past two weeks she has been throwing up whatever little food the Alpha of her pack allow her to take. At first she thought of it as stomach bug, but it was different on this day.It was continuous, it was frequent.

She could not hold down her breakfast or lunch, the only two meals she was allowed in a day.Isabella knew it would be disastrous for her reputation and standing in the pack if the news of her pregnancy got out. She was not married, and the father of the child was not her mate. She knew she had to do something about it and fast.She thought about her options and decided that terminating the pregnancy was the only way out. She was not ready to face the shame and ridicule that would come with being an unwed mother.To top it off, she could never tell her impregnate about the child,that would mean death. A quick one."Alpha Darian must not know." She lamented, putting her hands in her mouth to prevent her sobbing sound from getting out.Alpha Darian was cruel, ruthless and not afraid to take what she wants when he wants it, and that was what led Isabella to her current predicament.He likes to play around, especially with weak Omegas like herself, so telling him that she was pregnant with his child would earn her nothing but disgrace, harassment then an eventual death.Isabella knew that she had to act fast if she wanted to get rid of the pregnancy. She couldn't risk anyone finding out, not even her closest friends. She paced around the room, her mind racing with thoughts of what to do.She remembered hearing stories of a witch who lived in the outskirts of the forest. Many people in the pack believed that she had supernatural powers and could grant wishes for a price. Isabella knew that seeking the help of a witch was risky, but she had no other choice.With trembling hands, she pulled out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote a note asking for the witch's help. She folded the note carefully and placed it under a rock near the forest's edge, where the witch was known to leave her responses.The next day, Isabella checked the spot where she had left the note and found no reply. All her hopes went into shambles like that."Isabella..." Darian called out in a sing-song voice in the night, walking towards the basement where the Omegas belong.Isabella trembled in her spot where she sat, Darian hated it when they spoke or fight back.She kept her head bowed as he entered."Did you miss me?" He questioned, placing his hand at the bottom of her chin, urging her to look into his eyes.All Isabella saw in those ocean blue eyes was cruelty of the highest order, but she was not the one with the upper hand, so she nodded."Good, I miss you too, it has been two weeks, and I need you now." With those words, Darian forced her to her knees, to get her to suck him off.The act that was supposed to give her pleasure now made her want to puke.Isabella closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She never wanted her life so badly."That's it, baby girl." Darian moaned, feeling her warm, soft lips sucking him.Isabella did not look up, she could not, it would make her remember those eyes and she could not bear to see them now."You like this, don't you?" Darian asked, she did not reply, she just continued to suck on him."Answer me, bitch." Darian growled, lifting her chin to make her look up at him.She hated the way he called her that, but she loved it at the same time. She wanted to slap him, to make him feel how she felt, but she knew that would only earn her another beating."Yes, Alpha." She replied, then her eyes ventured lower and she saw something she definitely did not like."Stop." Isabella said, her voice shaking.Darian's eyes fell on what she was looking at.On his shaft below his glans, was a small ring, it was black and there was something moving inside what looked like a small mouth."Isabella, finish me off." Darian ordered, his voice hoarse with pleasure."No!" She said, taking her finger to place it on the ring, but Darian pushed her away."You slut!" He yelled, holding his now flaccid penis.Isabella quickly ran up the stairs to her room, with Darian close on her heels."Bitch!" He hit her hard with the back of his hand.The sound of the slap echoed in the small basement room, Isabella's body slammed against the wall and she fell to the floor.Darian slapped her again, then he slapped her another time, buy he realized that she could die and that would make him lose his plaything, so he stopped."You belong to me Omega!" His voice boomed through the basement and in one single turn he left.Isabella was mortified by what just happened, she couldn't take it anymore, so she set her plan into motion, she was going to run away from the wretched pack she called home.Her weeping was the only lullaby that lulled her to sleep that night, but with the intention of running away the next.She quickly got to her chores the next day, she could feel the life slowly growing inside of her, the connection was there, she was even surprised that she did not lose the baby with the activities she has to endure the previous night.The kitchen? She made it sparkly clean, but as she was about to exit it, the Luna came in."This place is unclean, Omega, clean it again." She sneered at Isabella who didn't grumble. She simply cleaned it again, almost with joy bubbling in her heart.The night fell quickly than Isabella anticipated, but was all good for her plans.She took a little bag, gathered the essentials she thought she might need while on the run, then she sneaked out of the basement and made a run for the woods.For an Omega, the weakest of all wolves, she ran like her life depended upon it. It did depend upon it and she has every intention of saving herself.Carefully, but steadily she treaded the woods and was almost at the border the pack shared with the outside world when she heard a voice. A loud, booming voice."Stop right there! Where do you think you're going?" It was the warrior on patrol, she could not turn back. No.She never ever want that kind of life ever again so she dis the one thing she planned on. Run.She was able to escape, but sharing a life with another was a burden on its own and it was taking a toll on her, she saw a clearing to rest in, but the moment she laid down, her exhaustion caught up to her.Two old people were strolling out their garden when they heard rustling in the patches of forest behind them, surprised, they decided to check it out."Oh Richard, it's a child!" The woman gasped, putting her hands on her mouth."Not just a child, a pup, an Omega pup." Richard clarified with a subtle shake of his head.Their conversation was the last Isabella had before she gave in to the darkness to consume her.

"Alpha, we've got a problem." Peter, Darian's beta called out from outside his office door."Should I come back later?" Jessica, his fiancee said seductively from her place on the Alpha's lap."No baby, you're important, whatever he has to say is probably not something to worry about." Darian replied, leaning in to continue their make out session.Peter cleared his throat, clearly uncomfortable with the situation. "Alpha, it's about the pack. We've received reports of rogue werewolves on our territory, attacking innocent humans."Darian reluctantly pulled away from Jessica and stood up, smoothing out his shirt. "I'll handle it. Jessica, I need to take care of this. I'll be back soon," he said, pressing a quick kiss to her lips before turning to Peter. "Gather the pack, we'll take care of this together.""Wait, weren't you just at the forest right now, Jessica?" Darian asked, looking back at her."Oh yes, I was but I didn't notice anything, they probably just came." She shrugged, adorning her lips with a tight smile."That's probably true, okay, see you later." He waved bye and left after Peter.As they neared the location where the rogues were said to be found, they were gone."Could it be that they were passing by?" Peter said nervously, he knew the kind of temper his alpha had and not meeting something as it was said to be would be an ultimate disaster."Hmmm, Beta!" Darian started venomously, "next time, you confirm before disturbing my peace, is that clear?""Yes Alpha."With that, Darian turned to leave, but peter held him back once more."Alpha, there is one more thing... "He got interrupted when the Alpha abruptly turned back with a murderous look on his face."What ever you have to say, you can say later, okay?""Okay Alpha." Peter bowed and left the spot immediately.With just a thought in mind, Darian ventured back to the pack house. He had every intention of continuing where he left off with his fiancee.As he walked through the halls of the pack house, he could feel his wolf stirring within him.The scent of Jessica was still fresh on him, and he couldn't wait to have her in his arms again. As he entered his room, he found Jessica waiting for him, wearing nothing but his shirt and a seductive smile."Finally, you're back," she purred, wrapping her arms around his neck."Sorry about that, Jessica. I didn't expect the rogues to be gone." He kissed her deeply, his hands roaming over her body.She moaned into his kiss, her hands trailing down to his pants. "I want you, Darian. I need you."Without another word, he lifted her up and carried her to the bed, where he proceeded to show her just how much he needed her too. They moved in perfect synchronization, their bodies tangled together in a passionate dance. Hours passed by, but neither of them wanted it to end.But, there was more pressing matters that Peter could not weave off anymore.He paced, waiting just outside the Alpha's suite."Ugh! What now?" Darian whined to Jessica, laying his head on her chest."What is it?" Jessica queried, not having sensed Peter outside."Nothing, I hope, but I need you to get dressed now and go do whatever the future Luna is supposed to do." He gave her a chaste kiss ans rolled out of bed."Come in, Beta." There was an underlying tone of threat in Darian's voice as he called to Peter after Jessica left the room.Peter knew that tone too well ans it means to be sure of whatever information he was about to pass across."Check this Alpha." He handed Darian the stack of papers in his hands.With a shot up eyebrow, the alpha took the book, it was the financial reports."You are not supposed to bring this to me until the end of the month." Darian said."I know Alpha, but I noticed some glitched on there that requires your immediate attention. " Peter confessed, leaning in to point out the glitches."I don't understand." Darian confessed, looking at the book like an alienated object.Since he became alpha, he didn't bother to oversee everything, he would simply assign Peter to see to finances, even the well being of the pack. One could say he was only an alpha in name only.The only thing he enjoy seeing to himself is the play of dominance over the Beta's and the Omegas, those with lesser ranks than him.Other than that, his alpha duties are not important to him."I noticed that in the middle of every month for the past 2 years someone has been stealing our resources, importantly the money and I can't trace the source." Darian shot up from his sitting position.If there is anything he loves as much as bullying those lesser in ranks, it was staying rich, being able to cater for the pack.That was the reason they have not overthrow him ans he knew it, but if it got out that their finances was lacking he was simply a minute away from being chased from the alpha seat. His father would then come back as Alpha, he couldn't risk that.Darian's eyes narrowed as he looked at the report, his mind racing to figure out who could have been stealing from the pack. "We need to find out who's behind this and put a stop to it. How much have we lost so far?" He asked Peter, his voice firm and commanding."About a million dollars per month, Alpha." Peter replied nervously, already knowing what the alpha's reaction was going to be.Darian's face contorted with anger. "A million dollars? How could we have not noticed this before? Who's in charge of finances?" He barked, his eyes flashing with fury."I am, Alpha," Peter said, bowing his head in shame.Darian's anger turned to disappointment. "I trusted you to handle this, Peter. How could you have let this happen?" He said, shaking his head in disbelief."I'm sorry, Alpha. I didn't know until now." Peter said, his voice laced with regret.Darian took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "We need to find out who's behind this and put a stop to it. I want you to look into it and report back to me as soon as possible," he said, his voice firm and commanding."Yes, Alpha. I will do my best to find out who's responsible," Peter said, bowing his head in submission.Darian nodded, dismissing him. As he sat alone in his office, he couldn't help but wonder who could be stealing from the pack. He knew he couldn't trust anyone, not even his most loyal Betas.He decided to take matters into his own hands, he would find out who's behind this and make sure they pay for what they've done to his pack.As he sat down, he remembered taking in a lone wolf recently, then it clicked in his head, it could be the new member of the pack."Pack meeting everyone!" His voice boomed through the mind link.Everyone dropped what they were doing to answer their Alpha. An angry Darian was not an easy Darian and they knew that."Yes Alpha." In no time, everyone was gathered in yard where their meeting usually take place."Calm down baby." Jessica tried to calm him down, but he almost swatted her hands away. She looked offended."Sorry Jess, this is quite important." He stepped forward to the podium."There is a thief among us." He went straight to the point, making everyone gasp."I vicious thief, he has been caught and now, he will pay for his sins by dying." Darian spoke with no emotions in his tone.Peter, from where he stood was surprised that his alpha had sorted the issue just like that, and he hoped he was not wrong."Tristan Wellis, you have been accused of stealing the pack's resources and I will not forgive you for this treason." Darian pointed at the poor man that was watching and listening to his speech."No, Alpha no!" Tristan screamed, battling with the warriors that held him."Throw him in the cells, he is to be executed in the morning." Darian finalized and left the podium.

Tristan was successfully executed, but the treachery still didn't stop."Alpha, I think we got the wrong person." He said, after the alpha invited him into his office."Why would you say that? I am never wrong." An alpha who was full of himself."It has happened again." Peter confessed, showing him the reports of the previous month."Again!?" Even Darian was shocked at the news."Who is stealing from me?" He questioned, starting to pace in his office."I am sorry I couldn't find anything when I looked into it sir." Peter's head hung low, the feel of guilt creeping on him.

The alpha stopped pacing and stared at Peter. "You're a good man, Peter. You've always been loyal to me." He sighed, "I don't want to believe that someone in my own pack would betray me like this. But we cannot let this continue. We need to find out who's responsible for these thefts."Peter nodded in agreement, relieved that the alpha wasn't angry at him for bringing this to his attention. "I'll do my best to investigate it further," he promised.The alpha put a hand on Peter's shoulder. "I trust you to handle this, Peter. Find out who's responsible and put an end to it."Peter nodded again, feeling a sense of duty to his alpha and pack. He left the office and started to think about his next steps. He knew that finding the thief would not be easy, but he was determined to do it.But, at the end of the day, it was a buttomless issue that he couldn't solve.The next day he received news that their neighboring pack was having an annual ball, it surprised him."They're having a ball?" Darian chuckled, questioning the messenger. "With what money?"Everyone knew how broke the Night pack was, they could hardly fees their members, talkless of throwing a party that requires good planning and a lot of money."I can't say alpha." Before Darian could throw a fit at him for not having an answer to his question, the messenger ran out of his office."I need to see this myself, a ball it is!" He declared then proceeded to inform his fiancee.Peter's mate, Lily, was ecstatic when she heard about the ball. "Finally, something exciting happening around here!" she exclaimed."Exciting? We have a thief among us and you think a ball is exciting?" Peter retorted.Lily rolled her eyes. "Yes, because maybe we can finally catch the thief at the ball."Peter looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "And how do you propose we do that?""We investigate! We mingle with the other pack members and see if we can catch anyone acting suspiciously," Lily explained eagerly.Peter couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm. "Alright, we'll go to the ball and see what we can find out."As they prepared for the ball, Peter couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He had a feeling that this investigation was not going to be as simple as Lily made it out to be.When they arrived at the ball, they were greeted by the neighboring pack's alpha."Alpha Darian, welcome." Mikhail, alpha of the night pack addressed Peter's alpha first."Beta...Thank you for coming." He patted his back."Of course Alpha, it is my pleasure." Peter bowed and took his mate to mingle with others."Come, my friend, we have a lot to talk about." Mikhail pulled Darian away from Jessica into a private room where they could talk."You bet." Darian was dying from curiosity, how was Mikhail able to gather money to throw a ball, at the same time he was growing suspicious of him, especially with what has been going on in his own pack.When they got to mikhail's office, Darian didn't bother waiting before attacking their host alpha."Where did you get the money for this ball?" Darian demanded, his arms crossed over his chest. Mikhail raised an eyebrow at Darian's aggression. "What do you mean?" Darian gestured to the extravagant decorations and food. "This ball must have cost a fortune, and yet, your pack is struggling just like mine. So, I ask again, where did you get the money for this?"Mikhail's expression turned serious. "I had some help from a friend. But that's not important. What is important is that we are here to celebrate and enjoy ourselves."Darian wasn't convinced. He had a feeling that Mikhail was hiding something from him. "I see. Well, I hope you had a good time because we certainly didn't."Mikhail frowned. "What do you mean?"Darian hesitated for a moment before deciding to share his suspicions with Mikhail. "Someone has been stealing from my pack, and I have reason to believe that someone to trying to bring me down.""What?! That's bad." Mikhail exclaimed, but a light bulb went off in his head as he realized something.Darian seeing the reaction Mikhail was giving, asked " What is it? Do you know something?""No, I don't but, I have someone that can help you figure all these out and even help your broke ass. " Mikhail attempted a joke in his weird accent, which Darian didn't smile to because he was not in the mood for a joke."Okay, I'm in." Without much thoughts, Darian agreed."Okay, good I will take you there tomorrow." Mikhail promised."Now, I want to enjoy my own party." He left Darian to greet more of his guests. Darian's mind was at one place all night, he just wanted the problem solved, he couldn't concentrate on the party or to even dance with Jessica. She understands his plight and let him be.The next day, dariam was up before the cock crowled. He had slept over at mikhail's pack, after sending every of his own pack members home."Let's do this." He urged Mikhail, who was standing at the kitchen counter with his coffee."Care for some?" He handed a cup to the impatient Alpha.Darian downed the cup in one go, not caring that it was hot. "Can we go now?" He talked his feet on the floor, his impatience getting the best of him."Yes yes, come on." Mikhail led him to his car, which once again awed Darian.When they got to Baxton company, Darian was surprised at the kind of place Mikhail had brought him to."We will find help here?" He questioned, looking around with a gaze full of skepticism."You'd be surprised." Mikhail chuckled leading them inside."Hey! Tracy sweetie, how're you, is your boss in?" Mikhail being a naturally flirty person, greeted the secretary after they got of of the the elevator."Mr. Night, oh yes she is in, you know your way?" The secretary, Tracy, responded with the sane enthusiasm."Thanks darling." Darian almost growled at the amount of flirt that was going in, but he kept it in. After all he was the one looking for help."Don't act strange, Darian, I know you." Mikhail warned, before they knocked in the office door.As they neared the office they were supposed to go in, Darian was taken aback by the scent that was wafting from in there, it was distant, but still familiar."What is this place?" He questioned, inside of himself as he looked around, trying to point out the origin of the scent."Knock knock." Mikhail called out cheerfully, as he knocked on the door.A chuckle, a very ladylike chuckled could be heard from the inside, "Come on in Mikhail." The smile in the tone of that voice could be heard miles away.The scent was more prominent in the room, Darian was convinced it was coming from the person sitting behind the desk. He looked up and he was floored. It was her.Her, from his past.Her, that he never thought he would lay his eyes on again.Her, who he treated like dirt.Her, who was going to help him?"Omega?!" He exclaimed in a loud tone.
