'Hell unleashed the moment the evil was exposed to light.'

As the command to 'submit' slipped from the lips of the respected Alpha, Alex's chest tightened, his breath catching in a tense pause. With a surge of defiance, he expelled a growl laden with defiance, his voice dripping with venom as he spat out a single word,

"No!"

In that heartbeat, he sealed his fate, unwittingly etching the greatest error of his existence into the annals of his life's story. For in that moment, Alex, an omega of his pack, dared to challenge the authority of a revered Alpha, an act that would echo through the halls of their pack's history with reverberating consequences.

The scarlet orbs narrowed further, consumed by an inferno of fury that seemed to swirl within them, casting deeper shadows in the intensity of their rage. It was as though they were ablaze with the flames of wrath, an unyielding fire ignited within.

Still, Alex stood firm, unyielding in the face of the tempest brewing within those scarlet depths. He understood the gravity of what transpired, recognizing with a grim certainty that there was no retreat from the path... they now tread.

"Ah, now it all becomes clear. Our dear omega has found his backbone, all thanks to cozying up with an Alpha. Ah~ I see," Katherine mused, her words initially as chilling as the whisper of a winter breeze, but soon transforming into a merciless gesturing command through the flick of her fingers directed at her guards.

Before Alex could fully grasp the unfolding situation, the pack's enforcer loomed behind him, seizing his arms with a brutal grip before swiftly binding them with a coarse rope. Simultaneously, the other guard, a blonde figure, roughly yanked up Alex's white tee, baring his abdomen in a swift, dehumanizing gesture.

A wave of humiliation washed over Alex, leaving him feeling utterly diminished and submissive, as if every ounce of fight had drained from him like precious sand slipping through the cracks of a broken hourglass. The baring of his abdomen, the epitome of vulnerability and fragility for an omega, rendered him submissive to a degree beyond comprehension.

With deliberate steps, Katherine advanced, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on the trembling omega, his cheeks flushed with shame as his milky-white abdomen lay exposed for all to see. Closing the distance, she crouched down, seizing his soft brunette locks in a merciless grip, wrenching them harshly and revealing his vulnerable neck to the merciless scrutiny of their pack.

Alex's lips quivered in the face of the overwhelming dominance emanating from the Alpha confronting him, yet he managed to maintain his composure, despite the tenuous connection with Celeste, his bond weakening by the moment.

In that pivotal moment, a sense of pride welled within Alex—a feeling foreign yet undeniable. For the first time in his life, he stood tall, unyielding against the command of an Alpha. And not just any Alpha, but the formidable Katherine herself.

Alpha Katherine's icy fingers trailed over Alex's heated abdomen and caressed it, a touch that sent a shiver rippling through him. Though he harbored a deep-seated loathing for her, he suppressed the urge to recoil, unable to voice the torrents of resentment swirling within him.
