An Omega

Erick Shaw's POV

I sat all alone in the kitchen. Everyone had already left to go to the clearings set at the furthest end of the territory. Only the pregnant she-wolves or whose with their toddlers and the younger ones who hasn't shifted are left behind in the pack house.

"Erick? Why are you still here?"

I look back to see Cara. She was wearing a tight white tee with short sleeves and a v-neck. She was also wearing a 3/4 black jeans that fits her legs. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail.

She smells great like always and I found myself openly staring at her up and down.

"We need to go now. Everyone is there already-"

"Can I not go? I've done the trial. I can't watch him being sentenced to death; it's like I'm mocking him" I said.

I was pulled by my arm by her.

"Ca-"

She held up a finger. "This isn't you showing a victory. If you don't attend you are mocking him. He needs to know that what he did to you led to this. Other pack members will learn to remember that what he did was not acceptable. I know you can't bear to watch but you have to. Not everyone wants to see someone from their pack dies".

"He's young Cara. I know what he did was wrong but he doesn't deserve this- not death at least. It's too heavy"

"He openly admitted what he did to you, he said he didn't regret it and he said he would do it again. What makes you think next time he won't rape you or kill you if he gets away? It's either he dies or we lock him up for the rest of his life. Now tell me, which one is more merciful" she narrowed her eyes towards me.

I know what she says rings the truth.

She turned to leave and I followed her from behind.

When we arrived there the Alpha was giving a speech and Josh was in the middle circled by all the pack members. He was on his knees and hands tied to the back. The both of us went behind the Alpha.

"Any last words Josh Harren?"

His face was paled, lifeless eyes and he looks like he had lost a good amount of weight.

Josh smirked looking around until his eyes found mine. He spat out "Fuck all of you" and he laughed like a maniac.

"That's enough!"

His head was hang low while he was still giggling.

Did I caused this?

Dread fills me, anxiety starts to kick in and sweat beads fill my forehead. His mother was wailing while his father hugs the mother tightly to keep her from watching it.

Before we all knew it, one of the guards brought down the axe-like weapon to slice down his head.

It rolled on the ground a few times. His eyes opened with a wicked grin still etched on his face. Without a minute to waste I turned back around running to my house.

I haven't went out of my house in three days. So when I did today and went to help at the pack house in the kitchen per usual they all whispered things as I passed them.

The other Omegas said it was because news of me being Cara's mate has spread to the whole pack. Where can I put my face now?

I've been a gloomy dick for the past few days. To add to that I haven"t been to school since I was kidnapped until today which I am planning on going.
