It wasn't like I asked for things to go this way.
I didn't ask to be born an Omega.
I didn't ask for this pack to overtake mine.
I didn't ask to be punished or to be bad.
I didn't ask for any of it.
All I wanted was for my life to go back to what it was just weeks ago. I wanted my rules, I wanted my daily routine, I wanted my normal back.
Instead, here I was running down familiar halls trying to escape punishment. Trying to figure out what I supposedly knew. Trying to escape an Alpha that hated me.
My body crashed into walls and the hall furniture as I dashed to my sanctuary. This time there were other wolves and I made sure to dodge them. I could still hear his anger snarls behind me. He had shifted, I had run, it was a chase now to his wolf, it was a dash for life by mine. Cat and mouse was the game and my wolf didn't like the odds. It was instinct on both our parts, but unfortunately, the war of instincts in my head was telling me two different things. Fear spurred my indecisive mind.
I knew once I had made it out of my temporary residence that Ben and the other wolves wouldn't be able to keep Kain contained for long. The moment I shifted I heard his bones crack. The moment my paws stepped over the threshold I heard his snarl warning me to stop. I didn't heed his warning. I triggered the chase.
The weeks of food I had been given to eat made my movements stronger and quicker, but I knew Kain was bidding his time. I appealed to his canine, to his beast.
I jerked my body left as I continued to sprint down the halls turning the corner. I could see my door, it was just slightly ajar and my ears perked up. I didn't have to worry about shifting to open it.
As I came upon it I could hear the pounding of hard paws against the wooden floor behind me. I didn't look back, I dashed inside and thrust my body against the door my wolf growling a warning. Flashbacks hit me of the Beta, would Kain serve out a punishment like him? Fear gnawed at my stomach.
My attempt to keep the door shut did no good. Space was too tight for my wolf to get a good grip on the door. Just as I was about to shift the door was flung wide open and standing in a naked glory of Alpha Male was Kain. His eyes were glowing, and his breathing was harsh, too harsh. He was in a rage. Alarm bells were going off in my head. I shouldn't have to run. I shouldn't have triggered this chase. I knew better. The rules dictated that I should never run. But that's all I've been doing, I got away with it the first time I ran, this time I would surely be in trouble.
I felt my back hunch up and my tail curl under me, ears flattened against my head.
I messed up. I really messed up.
"SHIFT!" His snarl was deafening and as if I had no control over my body I painfully shifted back into my human. My wolf was shaking, I was trembling, we were scared. Never before had I ever seen such anger, but I had never run from my Alpha before either. What has happened to me? I had become to slack in following the rules.
"You think I don't know what goes on in that pretty little head of yours?" His voice took on a low growling tone. I just stared at him with wide eyes. Not daring to look away. My senses screamed danger, my instincts yelling at me for initiating this chase. This wasn't good, nothing about this situation was good. The room was too tiny, the door had already been shut. We were trapped.
"Kain stop!" I faintly heard Bens voice.
"Unless you are asking for a challenge Ben, get the fuck lost." Kains snarled response had me covering my head. Ben didn't say anything else. It would be fruitless. Anyone would be dumb to challenge Kain. Just looking at him, he oozed power. I would be dumb to think my Alpha could win in a single-handed challenge against someone of Kain's caliber.
"You don't think I know why you refuse my scent?" Refuse? I've never refused. He's the one that only temporarily scent marked me as a pack.
"You're in compliance with his plans." He took a step towards me. "You probably watched her as she died." Another step towards me. "You probably enjoyed her howls, basked in her pain." He was getting to close. My room wasn't big.
"Kain, you need to calm down. He doesn't understand, he wasn't brought up knowing how wolves should act! You heard Marcus and Bram!" Levi's voice was pleading.
I clutched at my head, my body trembling.
"It's fucking instinct, Levi!" His roar was loud, maddening.
"Kain, give him a chance to explain." Please, please listen to her. I wanted to beg at his feet, apologize for the misunderstandings. I didn't know, I didn't mean to run. I was scared!
Don't show fear.
Do not run.
I knew the rules. Though I wanted to beg as my wolf wanted, the punishment was the one thing that would truly right my wrongs.
"And what of his refusal to be pack? I've lost my patience with his unwillingness to acknowledge my wolf! It's blatant disrespect." Wolf? What was he talking about? I felt unbelievably confused, and terrified.
"Kai—"
"Leave or I'll take your actions as a challenge and allegiance with Clyde." Deadly, that's the only word I could think of to describe the sound of his voice and the look in his eyes.
"This is my pack, these are my lands. Your Alpha ran. He left you, yet you wish to defend him? You wish to challenge your former pack mates because they speak the truth?" He was much to close now. A hairs breath away. His chest continued to rise up and down, his scent grew heavier with his dominance and anger. Gone was the feeling of safety I had once felt.
"He kept you as his pet." He didn't.
"He kept you as his replacement for the day he offed his mate." He would never!
"He starved you." I didn't deserve food! I hadn't been good it wasn't his fault that I didn't eat!
"He kept you hidden." It was for the good of the pack.
"He killed my mate because she found out about you." He didn't.
"You saw her didn't you?" My hands had found their way to my ears as I continuously shook my head.
His hand yanked my hands away from my ears and he yanked me up until my ear was at his mouth. "Her hair was long and blond. She had grey eyes. Look at me!" My wolf shook in fear. He had been so absent lately and after the full day and now this, he was barely contained. I could feel him wanting to appease Kain, felt him wanting to reach out to his wolf side, wanting to plead for forgiveness. I held him back.
I was messing it up for him. I wasn't listening to him as I should have, but my wolf didn't understand.
This was Alpha but he wasn't ours.
"Did you see her?" His voice was so whispered that if it hadn't been against my ear I wouldn't have heard.
What color had her hair been? Her eyes? It had been so dark that night. Her hair might have been blond, her eyes were kind, I remember her eyes. They reminded me of the elder Omega.
"Did she howl?" His voice sent shivers down my spine. The howl that I still heard at night. "Did you see her?" My eyes shut against the tears that spilled over.
It had to have been his mate. Grey eyes, blond hair, the howl. My Alpha wouldn't have killed her because of me. I had been locked away. There was no way that she would have known about me. She only saw me when she came into the dungeon. I wasn't important enough to be cared about.
"Omega, answer the fucking question!" The snarl snapped me out of my thoughts and I feebly nodded against his grip on my hand, yes. I didn't know who she had been through! I didn't know why she died, why she was there. I didn't know.
'I'm so sorry!' I screamed in my head, wishing I knew how to voice my thoughts. Wishing sounds would come out, but only a small whine filled the now quiet space between us. Tears stung my eyes.
"You knew." I couldn't deny his words. I wanted to, my wolf scraped at my mind wanting to say that we didn't know.
His eyes burned amber.
"She's dead." His statement was answered by my tears finally trickling out. He dropped me, and I scrambled back, trying to get out of his reach.
He reared his head back and suddenly a broken howl escaped him. I sobbed. It was a mirror to the howl she had sung that night. When she had desperately howled her goodbyes. They had been mates, not fully mated yet, but his gift from the Moon was taken from him before he even knew what it meant to be mated. It had been my fault.
I killed his mate.
He took me in.
I only thought of going back to my Alpha.
Then it dawned on me. He had tried to scent me the first time we met, but I had been so focused on what happened. So concerned about my old pack. Maybe it was me who didn't allow the marking to happen.
Everything was on me. I knew that now. Even if I didn't know they were mates, my existence was the cause. My refusal stirred something negative in his wolf.
After a few more minutes of Kain's mournful howls, he abruptly stopped. His hands covered his face as he knelt on the ground. It was an ominous feeling.
My sobs had stopped and I stayed huddled in the corner. My wolf continued to scratch at me. His fear was increasing. A cold sweat broke out on my skin.
Before I could even blink he lunged for me. Gone from his eyes was his humanity. His wolf controlled his actions.
I felt his claws rip into my tattered over-sized shirt, exposing my naked body to him. Fear gripped me and I struggled against his hold.
A snarl sounded the room. Arms and legs kicked at the beast struggling to keep me still. Adrenaline kicked in and I got a good kick to his stomach. Him letting me go and me lunging for the door was a mistake. The moment I twisted my body and lunged, he just as fast caught my ankles and slammed me into the floor.
"I will ruin you." His voice was cracked with rage. "You will never know what it's like to have a mate." He slammed a hand down on the back of my head forcing my face into the rug. My cheek painfully rubbed into it. I choked on a cry, trying to wriggle out from under the angered Alpha.
With the hand not holding my head down, I heard the ripping of fabric and felt him release my head and quickly grab both of my arms before I could take off again. I continued to cry out only sounds escaping me.
I could faintly hear crying on the other side of the door and so desperately wanted to scream help to them. The room was cloaked in the scent of my fear. My heart rate was going too fast for it to be safe. I didn't know what was happening, but the fear within my wolf and my instincts were something I had never experienced before. The Beta never brought out this type of fear in me and I was lost. I didn't know! I hadn't known who she was! I had been in trouble, in the dungeon when she came. There was nothing I could do to save her.
"You refuse my pack." Kain spat the words at me as he tied my hands behind my back.
"You defend a wolf with no morals!" I felt his claws clench my hips digging into my flesh.
"You pretend to submit! I can feel your resistance, I can smell your want for him!" I clench my eyes shut as I feebly tried to move my body away from him.
"I will force your submission!" I felt something hard press against my butt and froze. My wolf howled. "You will be banned. Not even a rouge will look at you."
A forced submission was rarely used. I had seen my Alpha do it once to a pack mate. He had challenged the Alpha and lost the fight but still refused to show his neck. So he forced his submission in the most primal way Weres did it. Though uneducated in how Weres lived, outside what Alpha allowed me to see and learn, this was one thing I knew well. Alpha had made a spectacle of it. He exerted his dominance. In doing this though, the Were receiving this punishment becomes wasted space within the pack. To force an Alpha to this point made the pack and even outsiders hate the one being punished. Traitor is what the others had screamed. It was one of the gravest sins you could force a pack to experience. Even banishment was better than this. The Moon would forever frown upon me.
Hot tears streamed down my face. I felt his hands leave my hips and spread my ass cheeks. I tried to struggle but his growl silenced and stilled me. My wolf wept. I did this.
In one swift movement, I felt my body tear apart. He thrust himself in, not caring for the splitting of sensitive skin. His thrust didn't stop either. They were primal, rough, punishing. I couldn't stop the screams that sounded out from my throat. I felt like I was being split in two. His claws dug at my hips causing me even more pain. This was a pain I had never experienced, one that I would never forget. This wasn't sex, this wasn't mating. Neither of us enjoyed this and I could smell his own tears.
"You will submit to me!" I tried to still my body, tried to repeat to myself that if I stopped struggling and behaved, I would be forgiven. His thrusting didn't stop, and after a few more I felt detached. My body finally listening to my pleading. The carpet was rough against my cheek and the movements from Kain's harsh thrusts made it dig into the floor harder. I tried to angle my neck better, tried to whine out my submission but my wolf told me to stop. He was curled up in my mind. Weeping.
He had wanted Kain's acceptance.
He had wanted this pack.
I hadn't.
I only could think of my Alpha.
I only could think of leaving.
I didn't feel sorry for myself. I didn't pity myself. I hurt my wolf who had only been with me for a short time. He had tried to guide me. He had tried to help me figure this world out. I hadn't listened. I wanted to be a good boy. A good Omega to be cherished and praised. Instead, I had forced an Alpha to do something that would forever change my life.
It felt like hours but when his teeth sunk into my shoulder I knew I was forever marked with shame. Kain stilled and then roughly pulled out. I could feel and smell his seed and my blood leaking out from my abused hole.
His breathing was ragged but I didn't move to look at him. I felt him reach out and undo my hands. I didn't dare move. The mark branded me.
"Leave." His voice was choked. I hesitated slightly as I finally looked over at him.
His head was in his hands and he sat against the wall, my blood covered his genitals and thighs. Our bodies still touching in the tiny space. "Leave here now!"
His growl shook me and before I knew it I was shifting once again as I darted out the door, ignoring the screaming pain in my lower half. I felt the break. It was the tiny tether of a bond I had formed with his scent marking.
On the other side of the room Ben, Levi, Orion, and Basil stood, heads bowed unwillingly to look at me. They felt the break.
"Get him out of here!" His growl echoed throughout the house and I watched as Ben pushed off the wall and started walking. I followed. My wolf knew what was happening. Wolves both shifted and in human form were watching as we passed them in the chow hall and main living area. I was being led outside. I was a mess. They could smell and feel the shame I wore.
