The omega's revenge

ALICIA'S POV

"Your father is dead."

"No... Father can't be dead! We spoke an hour ago....you can't tell me that!" I cried out as I struggled to move past the guards so I could see him again but the guards won't let me through.

Hot tears flowed down my cheeks as I yelled and pleaded to see my father again when I felt strong hands on my shoulder. I jolted awake to see Henry staring at me with a worried expression as he shook me gently.

"Can you hear me?" I heard him ask as he looked at me with concern written all over his face while my eyes struggled to adjust to the light.

"I dreamt about Father," I mumbled softly as he helped me sit up, and he let out a sigh, taking a seat beside me on the bed.

"You should let go of him already, Alicia. He's dead. You should let him rest in peace. You've refused to accept the reality that he's gone, that's why you keep having these nightmares." Henry said to me softly as his hand gently caressed my cheek and I leaned into his touch for comfort.

"It makes no sense, Henry. I just can't wrap my head around it. Father was known for his good deeds. He had never done anything that was against the law. Why was he suddenly executed? Without any explanation. One minute I was talking to Father, and the next, the guards were dragging him away. They killed him without any trial. How can I let him go?" I asked as my eyes watered, not knowing if I was asking myself or him these questions.

I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact that my father who had always sheltered me and made sure I lacked nothing, suddenly left the world without saying goodbye.

Father was just and kind. The people loved him. He had never done anything to tarnish Grimwood's image. I remembered that we were talking that day, laughing like we had no worries in the world when the guards barged in.

They dragged him away like he was some kind of animal and didn't even respect his age or title. Father warned me not to follow him, and I should not have listened to him. Maybe I could have stopped his death.

After his death, I was left to fend for myself, with no one by my side. It didn't make it any better that I was an omega and a weak heir of the Grimwood pack. Everyone spoke very lowly of me and even tried so many times to get rid of me so that they could take over the throne.

"Which is why we'll get revenge for him. That's why I'm here, Alicia. Listen to me, I love you so much. And the goddess made me your mate because she knew that only I could protect you and give you all that you want. I'll become the Alpha of the Grimwood pack and help you get everything that you lost. You'll stand by my side as my Luna and we'll show them just how good we are." He replied softly, his thumb brushing the tears that slowly ran down my cheeks and I sniffed as a small smile formed on my lips.

Henry Bane. The best gift that the goddess gifted me after my dad's death. She knew that I wouldn't be able to survive on my own, so she sent me my mate to stay by my side and help me get everything back.

Together, we've broken obstacles and even earned the respect of everyone in the pack. Just like I wanted, he was everyone's favorite and everyone wanted him to be the next Alpha. He charmed everyone just like he charmed me so I wasn't surprised.

"I'm so grateful that I met you. You know what, you're right. Maybe their father's death wasn't so bad after all. I met you only because he died and I'll forever keep that in mind." I said softly and he nodded with a smile on his face as he placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

I glanced out the window to see that it was already getting bright. Today made it exactly six months since Father died and we'll be holding a memorial for him. But that wasn't the only thing happening today.

Today was also the day of the special induction ceremony. The day when Henry would become the Alpha of Grimwood pack. The day when I'll stand by his side as the Luna, and together, we will rule the pack side by side.

"Are you excited for today?" Henry asked me and I couldn't help the giggle that escaped my lips as I nodded in response.

"I am beyond excited. I can't wait to call you my alpha." I responded and he brushed his lips over mine softly, causing me to blush slightly as he caressed my cheeks.

"I already call you my Luna so nothing's gonna change. And also, I have a surprise for you." He said softly and my brows raised in excitement at the thought of what he had for me.

"Don't ask what it is. Let's get dressed now. Come on." He said softly as he took my hand and helped me into the bathroom.

We got dressed in no time and by the time we walked outside, the palace was already filled with the royal advisors and pack members. It was finally time to make Henry the alpha of the pack. After our coronation, we would send Father a memorial service.

"Everyone, the time has come!" One of the royal advisors said and everyone erupted in loud cheers as Henry's grip on my hand tightened slightly.

"Henry, please step forward." Dakota, the head of the royal advisors, said and he finally let go of my hand before stepping forward.

I was so excited that my heart was beating quickly in my chest. Finally.

"It is time to crown you as the alpha of the Grimwood pack. Please, kneel before the members so we can begin." He added and Henry was about to kneel when he suddenly froze and turned to look at me.

"Wait. There's something I have to do first before we proceed."

ALICIA'S POV

I stood there confused when Henry made an announcement that there was something he had to do. What could be more important than getting coronated?

"As we all know here," He started before turning to face me again. "Alicia is my mate and the one the goddess has destined for me to spend the rest of my life with." He continued as he gestured for me to come closer and my heart swelled, seeing how much he valued and cherished me.

"What are you doing?" I whispered as I walked up to him and he took my hand before leading me to the front of the crowd where everyone was watching.

"Before I become the Alpha and take over the throne to rule this prestigious pack, I want to set a few things right." He said it loud enough for everyone to hear and I couldn't help the way my heart was beating loudly in my chest as he stared at me with a smile.

"Alicia Reign, you are the one the goddess sent to be by my side, to help me get to where I am today, to be the King and alpha of this pack. I owe it all to you." He said softly and I brushed a tear that fell down my cheek with a smile on my face as he smiled at me.

I never thought he would show me off like this in front of everyone and it made me love him even more. My heart swelled with affection for him and all I wanted to do was just bury myself in his arms.

"However, I, Henry Bane, reject you, Alicia Reign, as my mate. A weakling like you do not deserve to serve this kingdom or rule it." He suddenly announced as he took a step backward and it felt like the air in my lungs had been sucked, leaving me to choke on my breath.

There must be a mistake. I must have heard him wrongly. There's no way Henry would reject me. Not after everything that we had been through. Not after everything I had done for him.

I felt like I had been struck in the guts as I tried to regain my stance but I couldn't. My entire body burned, proof to show that Henry had indeed rejected me.

"Henry... What are you saying? This makes no sense! How can you reject me? I'm your mate, we were supposed to rule together side by side! How could you-" My words got cut short when I suddenly spilled out blood from my mouth and he stepped away from me with disgust written all over his face.

"You've never been fit for the throne anyway. You're just a weak omega and weaklings like you would only bring downfall and chaos to the pack." Dakota said with the same look plastered on his face and I stumbled backward in shock, the realization finally hitting me hard.

I turned to the royal advisors and everyone avoided my gaze like they already knew this was gonna happen. They already plotted this behind my back. Henry had deceived me.

"Henry... please tell me all of this is a prank... we've come so far together, how could you do this to me? I gave you everything I had to offer. My life, my position, my body, my love, I gave you everything, how could you stab me in the back like this? This wasn't the plan..." I managed to choke out, the weight of being rejected crashing down on me and making me even weaker than ever.

"You're right, this wasn't the plan." He said as he came closer before crouching to my level and gently caressing my cheeks. "I never loved you, Alicia. You're beautiful as fuck, don't get me wrong." He whispered to me and I wanted to recoil in disgust as I stared at the man that I had loved with all my heart.

"Trust me, being with you was fun. I enjoyed the fucking and all that but there was no way I would have someone like you stand by my side to be my Luna. You're so naive, weak, and stupid. It hurts my pride, you know?" He said softly, his words for my ears only as he stared at me with a sarcastic grin and I didn't think twice before slapping him hard.

I couldn't believe that I loved a cocky bastard like him. How was I so blind to see that he had only been with me because he wanted to become the Alpha? Now that he had the backing of the Royal Council, he was invincible.

"I won't let you get away with this, Henry. I would get back at you with everything that I have-"

He suddenly smacked me hard and I collapsed to the ground, earning gasps from the crowd as I choked on the blood that rushed out of my mouth.

"This omega is nothing but a pest to the pack, don't you think? She would betray us the same way her father betrayed the entire pack. Do we want that? Do we want to be ruled by someone who doesn't know what it means to be a leader?" I heard Henry say and my heart sank into the depths of my stomach when everyone echoed the same answer.

No.

They wanted me out of their lives.

"What should be done to pests when they stay where they don't belong?" He asked again and I lifted my head in shock, realizing that Henry was not just rejecting me...

He wanted to get rid of me too.

"Get rid of the pest!"

"Chase the pest away!"

No... how could they do this to me?

"That's what I thought. As the next Alpha in line, I hereby declare that Alicia Reign should be exiled to the rogues! Let her be their meal!" He yelled and I froze in shock when everyone bellowed in happiness.

ALICIA'S POV

I didn't think I could cry anymore. I sat in the dungeon with chains on my hands like I was a slave as I stared into the darkness surrounding me. I had been such a fool.

I had lost everything Father had worked so hard for just because I was stupidly in love. Henry had betrayed me in the worst way possible. He rejected me, stripped me of all my rights, and gave the instruction for me to be exiled.

It was known all over the pack how dangerous the rogues were. They didn't hesitate to kill and eat any lone wolf they found roaming around. If a weak omega like me was exiled there, it would only be a matter of hours before they found me and used me for dinner.

The thought of it made me shudder and I regretted my entire life's decisions at this instant. This was the surprise he had for me? It was memorable indeed. But I would have rather died in my nightmare than want to experience this.

Suddenly, the dungeon gates opened and I squinted my eyes to adjust to the light that entered into the dark cave. Guards walked in with stoic expressions on their faces as they headed toward me and I let out a sigh of defeat.

It was over. I was done. This was my last day on earth. But that didn't mean I wouldn't fight for myself. I would fight for my freedom. I would fight to survive. And if I win, I will get my revenge.

They grabbed my hands and pulled me up but I didn't put up any kind of struggle. I was too weak to do that anyway. I had always heard of werewolves getting rejected but I had no idea it would be this painful.

Especially for a weak omega like me.

Dragging me out of the dungeon, I was met with Henry's smug face as he stood by the side and stared at me with mockery. He came close to me, but the moment he opened his mouth to say something, I spat on his face, making sure the spit was huge enough to stain his face for the rest of his life.

He moved to slap me but my next words had him freezing as he stared at me.

"That's the only thing you know how to do, isn't that right? You're nothing but weak as well. You wouldn't have made it here without me. So who's the weakling between you and me?" I spat in anger and he slowly wiped the spit off his face before rubbing it on my clothes with a disgusted look plastered on his face.

"It's not my fault you're weak and stupid, Alicia. I came to bid you farewell as a loving boyfriend but you just had to be so stupid as usual." He said as he looked at me with contempt before stepping back. "Take her away and make sure she dies in your presence before you return here. Let her know who's weak and who's strong." He ordered as he smirked in amusement and I wanted to curse at him, to scream and beg, but I kept it all in my chest.

I had to survive. I had to make him regret his decision to mess with me. I had to make him regret insulting my father. I would make them all pay.

I was still in chains when they dragged me out of the palace and everyone watched me as they took me away. How could they let this happen to me?

If only Father was here... I wanted to hug him tightly. Maybe dying wouldn't be such a bad option. I would meet with him again.

I had no idea how long we walked until we finally got to the place surrounded by fog. It was chillier than usual and I shuddered as the cold seeped into my bones.

We continued walking until the men behind me decided to have a break. My legs were already so numb from walking for so long so I gladly collapsed to the ground in relief.

Suddenly there was an eerie silence. One that sent chills running down my spine. I looked around when I realized that we weren't alone. That was when it dawned upon me that we were in the rogues' territory.

"We have to leave now." I heard one of the guards as I struggled to get up.

"The alpha asked us to be sure she was dead before we returned. We can't just leave-"

I froze when I heard what sounded like a sword slicing through someone's body. Then there was blood and I nearly let out a scream when the head of the guard rolled over to my feet.

"No, please don't-" The second guard tried to beg but the sword was stabbed into his heart while I stared in shock.

I had to run. I didn't want to die like that...

I turned around and ran, not knowing where I was going. Someone lunged at me from behind, and I turned to block the hit with my hands, and to my relief, it snapped the chains into two, freeing my hands.

I might be a weak omega but I could fight when my life was in danger. Father, then, used to train with me when he was alive and now was a good time to put all that practice to good use.

I sighted a fallen sword by the side and quickly dived to get it just in time to block the next attack against me. I fought with all my might, adrenaline coursing through my body like never before.

However, I was only an omega and they kept coming after me in hoards, leaving me no way to escape. When the rogue behind me aimed for my neck with his sword, I knew that I was fucked and this was my end.
