I've never shared my story with anyone. In my mind a thousand thoughts was fighting for dominance. I was always scared of people's judging eyes and whispers, passed from one to another. Now I know I was right. This is my story....

***

Quiet.
Everything was quiet.
Weak light rays were slowly creeping to my room through a small window that was high on the wall.
I slowly started to open my eyes. I loved mornings. Just before my daily hell starts. I loved being on my own. Far away from every soul that lives in this house, pack.
I quickly looked at the clock next to my mattress (I don't own a bed). I had 5min before gamma Ethan will come to escort me to my daily chores.
I decide to put my clothes on and use toilet. Brush my teeth and give a quick glance in the mirror. My eyes looks dull. Their once bright blue colour faded away, leaving me with very light blue, almost gray. Some of my bruises are still decorating my face. I have to put some make up on. Alpha doesn't like to see omegas like that. Oh, yes, I am an omega - weakest, least important wolf in my pack. There is a total of four of us here. Everyone is responsible of something else. I clean, Mar cooks for everyone , Jiya takes care of pups in the nearby nursery, Tami helps in hospital. We have to help each other sometimes, when one gets punished and they're not able to do their job.

-"Where the hell are you, you b*tch?"- I've heard gamma's Ethan voice, booming through the basement.

I quickly rushed to the door where he was standing. My eyes down, hands on my knees, body half bended forwards.
There are some rules all omegas have to follow.
Never look higher ranks in the eyes. Don't talk, keep your hands where they can see it and do what you told.
I struggle to follow these rules.
A lot.
And of course I get punished.
A lot.

-"you're two minutes late mutt"- Ethan said pulling my hair, making me look up. I tried to avoid his gaze but for a split second my eyes lands on his face. Stupid me! His right hand immediately connects with my cheek.

-"Sl*t!, never look me in the eyes!"- he yells.
"Now move! Our rooms won't clean themselves, will they?"- he says and leaves. I follow not wanting to get another slap.

My routine is simple. Get up early morning, wait when rooms are empty and quickly clean it. If the owner of the room will come back while I'm there, I can get punished. I clean all top floors, which is alphas suit, 3rd floor- enforcement and betas suits. Then 2nd floor - gamma families, rest of warriors, 1st floor anyone else more important. Some of the important wolves live outside of the pack house, but close enough to get here fast in case of emergency. Our ex alphas, betas, gammas live close by also. Anyone else can live further away, but they have to stay on our territory. Which is really big piece of the land with massive forest.

I have my system work out. I know when gammas, betas do their training, when they eat, when they have meetings. I am ears and eyes here- I have to be. To make sure I won't die. Sometimes, sadly, I make mistakes. Then I get punished. From slaps, punches, kicks, whipping, burning, cutting- you name it, I bet I went through it!

But I can't complain. I was born here. This is all I know. I get to eat once a day, not a lot, but still. I can wash at least once a week and I have a place to sleep.
I stopped daydreaming when a scream pulled me out of it. Turning around I opened dinning room door quietly.

-"you tried to poison my food ! you b*tch! How dare you?! " - Beta Liam shouted pulling cook out of the kitchen by her hair-" you will regret it!" - he yelled at Mar, who was already shaking.

-" no, I swear! ...I wouldn't! ...Never!"- said Mar without looking at betas now red from anger face.

-"did you talk back to me?! OUTSIDE NOW! "
-he growled loudly.

I could see a small puddle forming under Mar's feet. She was terrified. One thing you have to know. Omegas are not really capable of hurting anyone. We are just made that way.
Mar dragged her feet out of the dinning room straight to a pole, that was stuck in the small square just outside the pack house.
Beta took her hands and connected them to pole by a silver chain. He took whip and started hitting Mar's back. I could see blood soaking her clothes. Till the time he was finished Mar lost consciousness.

-"Nobody is allowed to touch her. Or clean, or give water. Not till instructed to do so. !" -  Liam yelled through the mind link, making sure everyone heard him.

Tears welled up in my eyes, unspoken sobs quietly leaving my mouth. I know her pain. I have been whipped like that before. I turned around not wasting anymore time. I had to clean or I will be joining her.

I finished all my chores rather quickly today. Actually that was a good thing as I am going to be responsible for todays pack dinner.
I better not mess that up!  - I thought to myself.
Mar was taken of the pole an hour ago. I first thought that she was back in her room, like usually happened after one of us got hurt- but she wasn't. She has been taken to cells. I went to her room earlier on to help her heal (that's one of my special powers, not everyone can do it) but she wasn't there. I met gamma over there - that's how I know, about my new, additional chore - kitchen duties. Sadly I can't visit Mar in cells. Hidden inside the big hill at the edge of our territory, forbidden to anyone, apart alpha, beta and enforcers.

Mar's story isn't pretty, non is the rest of us. You probably read all the books with happy endings when abused omega meets their alpha and gets rescue.. well Mar have met her mate. And he was beta... and still is... in our pack...
He didn't refuse her straight away. Gosh I wish he would. He decided to put her through hell and back before marking another she wolf in front of her and making her watch their mating. Sick bastard.

I decided to cook some pasta as time was not on my side. When I finished preparing everything, Jiya came over to help with table service. We quickly gave all plates out and the last one was going to alpha. I took plate in my hand and was inches away from my destination when someone's leg tripped me over and I flew.. plate landed on alphas chest and I hit the table with my arm and landed in front of his shoes.
Damn it !
Everyone has started to laugh- that made this whole situation worse.

-" we clearly don't have any good omegas over here. One tried to poison us in the morning now this one is trying bathe me in my food.."- alpha said, his tone dangerous.
-" let's see how she likes her punishment for this.."- he continue. In my mind my wolf whimpered with sadness. We both knew it will be hard.

-"gamma Ethan, you know what to do.."- he finished his sentence.
I swallow hard. That means one thing, gamma just got green light to do whatever he's pleased with me.
I wanted to scream, run, hide somewhere, but I couldn't. It will only make everything worse.
He grabbed my wrist pulling it roughly out of dinning room. I followed quietly. We got to a separate building, just outside of the cells. This area was secluded, so no one has to listen to all the shouting. He pushed me in one of the rooms and locked the door behind him. I look around. 2 more wolves were waiting there.
In the middle of rather large room was a chair, a pole and a cabinet with silver tools. Stench of blood, wolfsbane and death filled the air. No windows. Just great.
I though I know what will happen- boy I was wrong.
