(Y/N's POV)
As an Omega, I never felt like I was truly valued in my pack. My opinions and needs were often dismissed as unimportant, and I was often left feeling like an afterthought. The feeling of frustration, anger, and helplessness had been building inside of me for far too long, and something had to change.
I knew I couldn't go on living like this for much longer. The pack dynamics were unfair, and I was tired of being pushed to the side. I had to escape, to find a place where I could be appreciated for who I was and what I brought to the table.
But the thought of leaving, of striking out on my own, was terrifying. I was an Omega, and in the world of wolves, that meant I was vulnerable and weak. Without a pack to protect me, I would be easy prey for any rogue or rival pack that came across me.
Still, the feeling of desperation and the desire for something better was stronger than my fear. I couldn't stand another day of being treated like I didn't matter, of watching as others around me thrived while I was left behind.
So, one night, when the rest of the pack was deep in sleep, I made my choice. I quietly packed a few supplies, my heart racing with every motion, and tiptoed towards the edge of the den.
The moon hung high in the sky, casting its silvery light over the forest. I hesitated for a moment, listening for any signs of disturbance, but all I heard was the soft breathing of sleeping wolves.

Just as Y/N was about to make a move, She suddenly heard a voice behind her.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Bang Chan, an Alpha, stood there, his expression stoic as he looked at Y/N. A hint of curiosity was in his eyes as he waited for her response.
Y/N tensed up, her heart racing with a mixture of fear and surprise. She had hoped to make a quiet escape without anyone noticing, but it seemed that Bang Chan had other plans.
Bang Chan took a step closer, his gaze unwavering as he studied her. She could feel the power and authority emanating from him, reminding her that she was in the presence of a strong Alpha.
"You didn't answer my question," he said, his voice low and authoritative. "Where are you going?"
Y/N felt a rush of emotions wash over her - fear, hesitation, and a hint of defiance. She had hoped to avoid this confrontation, but it seemed inevitable now that Bang Chan had found her.
"I...I was just...going for a walk," Y/N lied, her voice trembling slightly. She knew it was a weak excuse, but she couldn't think of anything better in the moment.
Bang Chan raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical. "At this time of night?" he asked, his tone laced with incredulity. "Don't take me for a fool. You were sneaking out, weren't you?"
As soon as Bang Chan finished speaking, Y/N saw her chance. Without a moment's hesitation, she turned and sprinted off into the forest, her heart racing with adrenaline. She knew it was a risky move, that a strong Alpha like Bang Chan could surely catch up to her in an instant, but she had to try.
The rustling of leaves and twigs filled her ears as she darted through the trees, her legs pumping furiously. She could sense Bang Chan following close behind, his footsteps growing louder with each passing second.
The distance between her and Bang Chan was shrinking rapidly. She could almost feel his presence behind her, his powerful aura surrounding her like a cloak. But she pushed herself even harder, desperately trying to put more space between them.
Y/N's legs were burning from the effort of running, but she couldn't slow down now. She darted into a small cottage that stood at the edge of the forest, hoping that it would provide her with enough cover. The cottage looked abandoned, overgrown with vines and weeds, its windows caked with dirt and cobwebs.
As she darted through the open door, Y/N realized that the cottage was in a state of disrepair. The wooden floorboards were creaky, and the air inside was musty and stale. But there was just enough darkness inside to keep her hidden.
Y/N slunk further inside, her heartbeat pounding in her chest. She ducked behind a tattered curtain, peering through the moth-eaten fabric to see if Bang Chan appeared outside.
The silence outside was deafening, the only sound was her own ragged breathing. She could feel her body trembling with a mix of fear and adrenaline, wondering if Bang Chan had followed her inside the cottage...
She held her breath, straining her ears for any sounds that might indicate Bang Chan's presence. But all she could hear was the sound of the wind rustling through the trees outside, and the occasional cricket chirping.
Y/N was torn between the urge to stay still and keep quiet and the desperation to find out if Bang Chan was still outside, looking for her. The tension stretched on, each moment feeling like an eternity.
As Y/N sat in silence, hidden behind the tattered curtain, she suddenly became aware of a strange feeling that was seeping over her. The scent in the air was different, hinting at a territorial vibe, distinct from the usual musk of her former pack.
Realisation dawned on Y/N as her sensitive nose picked up on the subtle nuances in the air. She was no longer within the boundaries of her old pack; she had unknowingly wandered into another pack's territory.
A chill ran down her spine as she realised the danger she was in. Being an Omega alone was risky enough, but being an uninvited outsider in another pack's territory was downright perilous.
A sudden thought flashed through Y/N's mind - perhaps the reason Bang Chan had not pursued her into the cottage was because she was now in enemy territory. He wouldn't dare to encroach on another pack's land, risking a potential battle and endangering his own pack.
Y/N let out a sigh, realising that she had accidentally stumbled into a dangerous predicament. But there was also relief to be found in the fact that Bang Chan's reluctance to follow her in meant that he wouldn't be able to find her easily.
However, this small sense of relief was quickly overshadowed by new fears. She was still alone and vulnerable, and the longer she stayed here, the more likely it was that she would be discovered by one of the pack members who called this territory home.
Y/N knew she had to make a decision - stay in the safety of the cottage and hope she remained unnoticed, or take a chance and attempt to find her way out of the enemy territory.
But before she could decide, a sudden sound outside caught her attention - Footsteps, approaching the cottage.
