Days passed and their problems compiled even more. More and more people now found it fun to abuse them not just verbally but also physically.
The head cook, Veronica who happens to be Christy's mom watched them quietly as she cooked her porridge. Although she pitied them but she had never tried to stop the others from hurting them. And now, the kids even accuse them whenever anything goes wrong.
Heaving a sigh, she turned back to check on her cooking. "Are you alright?" Another older woman asked Veronica as she noticed the worry etched on her face.
"I find them pitiful." Veronica answered her friend. She could still remember the first time she had met the two ladies, when Jackie, the pack member had brought them handed them over to her she saw it.
Joy...
They had looked so happy, it felt as though they were abandoned kittens who finally found themselves a home.
It was understandable, they both have no wolves, seeing how close the two were, she presumed they must have met each other in the wild and stayed together relying on one another to survive the hostility of the world.
"You do? I am not sure I find them pitiful. Even the Alpha is ignoring them. You know when I was cleaning a room upstairs, I overheard some ladies talking. The Alpha has no plan of making them do the ritual." The other woman told Veronica. She knew the two rogues have no wolves so they couldn't have been able to hear her words, and she has no problem with the others here hearing her. Unlike Veronica, she liked the fact that they had stopped being the lowest in the pack. They finally have someone in a lower position than they were.
"Are you sure?" Veronica asked the woman as she cast a quick concerned glance at the two ladies peeling onions. Once in a while, they would use their arm to clean the tears that fell from their eyes. Onions were something even she never liked to peel as the juice would always make her teary.
"Absolutely. Jersey was the one who said it." If Jersey had said it, then Veronica has no reason to doubt the news. Even those who were eavesdropping from a distance also made an 'o'. Jersey is the Alpha's girlfriend. Having never met his mate, the Alpha would always keep different girlfriends. The pack had lost count of his numerous girlfriends but Jersey was different. She came from a different pack and had met the Alpha during a visit the Alpha made to her pack. Rumors have it that her pack Alpha had arranged for Jersey to keep their Alpha company during his visit.
One thing led to another and Jersey had followed the Alpha back home. Although the Alpha still looks elsewhere for pleasure, the fact that Jersey had been able to make herself stay next to him for over a year now was applaudable. There is a rumor that she will become their next Luna soon.
"If you pity them that much, why not start sending them to the field? They can help the soldiers clean their books and sharpen their swords." The other woman suggested. Although she has an ulterior motive for making such a suggestion, Antonella was grateful. Unlike what they all had thought, the two ladies could hear everything these women had been discussing. Their heightened hearing allows them to hear things even from miles away.
"What if?" Veronica could not complete it as it will land her in trouble if the pack members hear of her words. They will say she is making false accusations against them. But every female omega knows what most of those men do to them. They abuse them in the worst way a man can to a woman.
"That is why I suggested the training ground. You know very well they won't dare to act uncouthly on the field." Veronica heaved a sigh, was that the only way to help these girls, sending them to the wolf's mouth?
"Alright, I will speak with Jackie about this." Jackie is the wolf in charge of all the workers here in the pack. The other woman subtly smirked at Veronica's response. Although they might not be harassed in the field, those perverted males will surely drag them away to get their way with the girls. She knew this as that had happened to her several years ago.
Antonella and Lillian gave each other a look. They had just recently talked about how they can watch the watch the pack warriors train just two days ago. The moon goddess must be looking out for them as they can finally have a chance of watching them train without being questioned.
Peeling the onions suddenly felt better.
Christy who wasn't around during her mother's conversation with the other woman was told about it all by her friends upon her return.
"Are you saying my mother wants to help those things?" She asked again. She knew her mother can be annoying but not once had she interfered in her activities. Why would her mother suddenly act out of character?
"I am sure, you can ask anybody. They had the discussion right there in the kitchen." The lady pointed towards the kitchen. Christy stomped out in anger as she went looking for the ladies who had the guts to make her mother embarrass her in public.
If her mother pities them, doesn't this mean that her mother condemns her actions, and worse she did so in the public.
"Where are they?" She asked her followers as she pushed open their door. Neither Antonella nor Lillian was in there, the two girls were currently at the back washing clothes.
"Are you looking for the rogues?" Eliza asked as she smiled smugly at Christy. Although Christy can not refer to Eliza as her friend as Eliza would not bow to her, the two ladies have always kept their distance from one another.
"I am. Do you know where they are?" Christy asked Eliza. They both have mutual hate towards the rogues and as much as she hated it, she needed Eliza. Eliza had a stronger connection than she does, her only advantage is that she is the head cook's daughter but Eliza, Eliza is a warrior's lover. Her boyfriend is a strong warrior of the pack. This had made Eliza earn the respect of many omegas. They either respect her or she would make her lover punish them.
"They are washing clothes." Christy nodded and changed her direction. As she stomped over to where the girls were washing, Christy grabbed a hold of Antonella's hair. Although her hair was short, it shined so much that Christy envied her. It felt as though she had pampered it with the best products but that was impossible. A nobody like her couldn't have been able to afford any of it. They both do not even owe a hair cream.
Antonella was shocked by her attitude. 'What have they done this time?' She wondered.
"How dare you?! How dare you a nobody?!" Christy asked her teeth grinding together as she pulled on Antonella's hair even harder.
"What has she done?" Lillian still cannot ignore her Luna being maltreated in such a manner. They are members of the Frost pack, a pack that stood on the same rank as the Gradv pack, and yet, these wolves who would have been cleaning after them is pulling on her Luna's hair!
"What gave you the right to question me huh?" Christy asked as she let go of her hold on Antonella's hair, she turned her attention to Lillian. "If I even kill you two, you have no right to ask me any questions. Do you understand?!" Christy told Lillian as she held her face, her fingers digging into Lillian's cheeks. Lillian was sure it would leave a red mark on her cheeks. But she preferred being the one maltreated instead of Antonella.
"She wasn't questioning you." Antonella defended. Lillian's patience has been running out these past few days. She knew if Lillian snapped, she wouldn't be able to do anything.
"These two are asking for a beating." Christy scoffed as she turned to her followers "Beat them up" She ordered as the ladies rushed forward and began another session of beatings.
Antonella and Lillian who knew what next would happen made sure to protect their chest area. One of these ladies had once ruthlessly made all her punches land on their breast. And the pain was one that neither the ladies could take. They had to use hot water and a towel to massage their breast for a few days until the pain subsided.
Crouching down to avoid being hit at the wrong place, they both received their beatings quietly which angered the ladies even more.
'Shouldn't they be crying and asking for mercy?' The force of their kicks became even more intense.
Suddenly, they heard someone laughing from behind. They all turned toward the direction where the sound came from, they found a boy leaning against the tree and two ladies who watched them looking amused.
The girls all swallowed hard as they all bowed their head unable to look the intruders in the eye.
Antonella and Lillian have never seen the three, but from everyone's behavior, they could guess what exactly is happening.
"I have heard you act like an Alpha here in your quarters and I must say, you have taught me how to treat someone lesser than you are." One of the ladies said as she walked to Christy. Christy whose eyes stayed glued to the ground shivered from fear.
The presence of these set of friends always left every omega shivering within themselves. The male among them is Brian, the Alpha's son, and the ladies are Priscilla and Betty. Betty and Brian are siblings but from different wombs while Priscilla is Brian's girlfriend.
These set were nicknamed by the omegas as nightmare. Even some pack members are scared of them.
"I..." Christy didn't know what to say or how to act. She was scared, would they begin to beat her the way she beats this useless things? 'Why did they have to come at a time like this?!' Today, not only did her mother embarrass her, this team of nightmare had to also come embarrass her in the presence of this two.
"No... Don't let us ruin your fun. Continue what you were doing. We were enjoying it so much" Betty was the one who spoke this time. "Now!" She ordered as they all weren't moving.
The ladies all scrambled back as they went on beating the girls. The three who had just arrived would laugh loudly as they watched on until Brian spoke.
"This is too boring." He loved to hear people beg for mercy and these two ladies who have no wolf have refused to beg since. He pointed at a girl who was watching with her friends. "Beat her instead." he ordered.
The girl's eyes budged in shock, just what had she done?
The girl had no choice but to come out and before long, the trio grinned in satisfaction. The girl pleading voice was heard as she cried asking for mercy.
"Her voice is screeching too much." Priscilla commented. She had wanted to see how long those girls without a wolf would last before they beg for mercy but Brian just had to interrupt.
"It sure is. We need to go though, father requests our presence." Brian told the girls.
Priscilla turned to Christy "The next time I come to watch a show, I expect to meet a good show." She told her and left with her friends. Christy let out a sigh of relief, she felt hot, and her whole body was sweaty.
"Let's go" she wasn't in the mood to continue with her torture. She has been through so much embarrassment for a day. The Omega who was presently on the floor crying glared at Lillian and Antonella. 'They are the reason why I was beaten up!' She thought hating the ladies.
