~Few months later~
One day, when I woke up everyone was running here and there in the house. Jiya was no longer there when I woke up.
When I got into the kitchen, I heard some maids chattering who were friends with Jiya. They seemed like boiling water in a big pot.
"Do you know where Jiya is?" I asked and she glanced and turned to me.
"Now's not the time to ask about Jiya Soren. Go back to your room." One of them said,
"Why, something happened?" I questioned again.
She looked around and bent down at my level, she gritted her teeth and whispered.
"The Luna just gave birth to a baby and the Alpha is furious because the kid is barely breathing. The baby is weak because Luna was so unhealthy in her pregnancy days," She keeps ranting on. "God, poor Luna, Alpha is so angry right now, I'm praying for her and the baby. Do you even understand what I'm saying?" She asked me.
"Of course, I'm not some fool," I said and she gasped.
She pinched my cheeks," iM Not fOol" She mocked me. "Now go to your room before the alpha comes in this direction, you don't wanna be eaten by him, do you?"
I frighteningly shake my head.
"Then go."
I turned around and ran back to my room.
After a few hours, I think I fell asleep and woke up when my doors burst open.
Jiya bursts with a little crying machine in her hands. She was swaying the small baby in her hands softly. She looks up at me and smiles.
Walking up to me, she sits beside me on my bed with the crying baby.
I looked at the baby and scrunched my nose at his face.
"It's ugly," I called out and Jiya.
"No he's not, just premature," she said and the baby kept crying nonstop.
"The poor thing is more unlucky than his mother."
"Why is he with you and not with his mother?" I asked. I know small babies can't go very far from their mommy.
"Soren," Jiya sighs, she looks upset, I had never seen her this upset. "You know baby, I don't know how to make you understand but Alpha has ordered to not take the baby anywhere near Luna."
He keeps crying and crying harder.
"Why?" I asked and I think his crying bothered me. "Can I touch him?"
I asked and without any answer, I caressed his cheek with my fingers. He's so small.
He looks at me and cries, even harder. I don't know how he could do that. Maybe he thinks I'm also ugly like him.
"Alpha thinks that this baby is weak because she's an omega. So, he doesn't want him near her. And you know what the scary part kiddo, he didn't even let her breastfeed him, her own baby."
I looked at the baby, and I felt bad for him. I thought the alpha was just scary but he is so cruel. I think he's even worse than those wolves who killed my parents.
"Then we should feed him, Jiya," I told her, she looked at me and patted my head.
"You're right, I've already told Sia to bring some warm milk for him. But first, we have to stop him crying."
"Can I hold him?" I asked her excitedly and she nodded. She carefully puts him in my arms. I super carefully carried him in my lap. I slide one hand under his head and securely pat his chest but he keeps crying.
"Hey," I softly hummed to him. His small watery eyes seem like they are trying to find my voice. I smiled at his reaction and again hummed.
"Why are you crying so much?" I asked him gently and he looked at me. He's only half a day old but he's already able to listen to me. "Don't cry, alright? Your eyes are gonna get puffy and hurt."
I keep talking to him in a baby voice and he slowly and slowly calms down. He doesn't cry anymore, he doesn't look ugly when he's calm.
I softly poked his cheek and his eyes didn't shift from my face.
"Jiya he's not crying anymore," I told her and she was already smiling at us.
"I can see that, baby. It's good that he calms down, constant crying could make him sick." She tells me.
I smile and keep rocking him back and forth in my lap. A few minutes later, Sia brought milk for him and when she tried to coax him and take him from my lap, he started to cry again. So, she let him stay in my lap and I helped her feed him milk. And moments later, he falls asleep on my lap. My legs started to hurt but I don't mind it as long as he wants to sleep on them.
THREE YEARS LATER
(SOREN IS SIX YEARS HERE AND ZALE IS THREE)
I ran into the hallways to reach Master Zale's room.
Today, again, he hurt some maids by bursting their heads open with a glass vase. A few days back, he even tried to hurt Jiya who was just trying to change his clothes which were drenched in blood after he cut his own hands.
Master Zale is turning destructive and fatal with every passing day. Not long ago, he killed the doctor who was trying to treat him.
Jiya told me that he's turning like this because he was suffering from childhood trauma which made him dangerous, violent, and threatening. That he was mentally and physically weak when he was born, he only survived because he was a wolf and had Alpha blood. Who tends to be stronger since birth and he couldn't have survived if he was a human.
Ever since he turned one year old, Alpha has been forcing him to train so that he would become a great and strong future alpha like him and not as weak as his Omega mother. He hired the best caretakers for him, who tried to force the little kid to learn to walk when he was supposed to learn it at his own pace. He threw him crying and wailing in the darkroom to make him strong. He made him fight when he turned three with boys who were double his age.
Luna passed away when Zale was six months old and the cruel Alpha never once let the poor kid meet her. We all, including maids and other wolves, often heard her crying and begging but Alpha never once sympathised with her and let her meet her kid at least once.
And that's why Zale turned into a kid like this, pouring blood everywhere he goes, hurting anyone who tries to go near him.
I hate this bastard alpha who treats his own kid so badly, who messes his mind so much that all he does is harm himself and anyone who tries to approach him. Who messes his mind with all his cruel training and makes Zale so broken like a piece of broken glass that was cutting him and those who tried to touch it.
I slammed open his doors and he screamed like a demon had possessed him.
"GET! OUT!!"
