Chapter 3

I woke up to a knock on my door and as usual, I asked mom to wait for five more minutes, but mom didn't sneak in to my room to wake me up like every day. Instead, she said I should wake up before the Alpha gets angry. I jolted up, sitting straight on the bed, eyes wide open as I recalled I wasn't at home and I would never be able to get my mom to wake me up like she did every day. Tears started streaming down my eyes as I sobbed crying in remorse for the loss of my parents, how I wish they would have listened to me, if only they would have agreed to me and not went inside for the meeting, we would have been at home together like every other day. I missed having Aiden to play with me, how he would tease me whenever I asked him to leave me alone saying he was born to protect me and he would not leave my side, but today he wasn't with me either and I know it's not his fault but I miss him. I cried harder as more tears streamed down my face, the door to my room opened, maybe the person on the other side had keys to unlock my room. She walked in and was about to say something but she stopped in her tracks when she saw me crying and her eyes widened. She looked at me with pitiful eyes as she slowly approached me. Maybe she was afraid that I would run.

"Don't cry dear, you are a child, how old are you?" she asked as she looked at me with a shocked expression on her face

"I am ten years old; he killed my parents yesterday. We went to his pack for a peace treaty and he killed my parents, my coven doesn't know, he is cruel he lied to the Alpha" I said sobbing as I spoke to her and she looked at me sadly

"Oh my God, dear you don't look like a vampire, are you from a witch coven?" she asked and I nodded my head

"Yes, I am from the Silver Moon Coven, my parents were the King and Queen, they must be looking for us but Alpha doesn't trust me" I said crying harder

"Oh my, but you smell like a human" she mumbled but I heard her anyway

"I am not a human but I don't have powers either" I said and she nodded her head

"Oh my God, dear I think your lack of powers is what makes Alpha distrust you because we have never seen or heard of a human being born to a powerful line of covens" she said and the hope I had that she might help me slipped through my hands

"He can call my uncle and aunt from the coven; they could tell him that I belong from their family" I said as I suddenly felt hopeful again

"I don't the Alpha might agree to any of your requests because you have been brought here as a slave, he would never trust you because you are a human" she said sadly looking at me

"How is it my fault that I didn't have powers despite being born to the King and Queen of the witch coven? I lost my parents yesterday and the person who I killed them sold me to your Alpha and he wouldn't listen to me. What is my parents’ fault in all of this? I think their fault is they trusted the evil Alpha who killed them and I don't even know why? Because your Alpha wouldn't trust me, my parents the King and Queen who would have got an honored funeral in their coven is not even getting a simple funeral" I yelled snapping at the women in front of me as the helplessness of not having the powers and the loss of my parents was making it difficult for me to process everything. I would never forgive myself if I only had the powers like every other witch born to our line, I would have been able to help my parents

"I am sorry dear, I wish I could help you with this, but as a slave, we do not have the right to request anything" she whispered, her own eyes filled with tears

"Does this pack have more slaves?" I asked with widened eyes

"The omegas of the pack are no less than a slave, except they are still considered as a pack member. I feel bad for you that you will be treated worse than us and you are just a child" she said, her voice held so much of pain and vulnerability that it broke my heart, how can then treat anyone like this, we treat everyone in our coven with respect even if that person is a maid

"You don't have to stay here; I will find a way to contact my coven and you can come with me. We love and respect each other there, no one will treat you bad there" I said hurriedly as I was getting anxious with the thought that I might have to stay with such people

"You are too kind my dear, we can't leave our pack besides we are still treated better than the omegas in the other packs" she said with a small smile on her face

"Get read, you will have to learn your way around the kitchen" she said as she got up to walk out of my room

"What is your name?" I asked as I remembered that I don't know her name

"My name's Nancy" she said with a small smile on her face

"Can I call you aunt Nancy?" I asked the old lady standing in front of me

"Of course, dear" she said nodding her head with a small smile on her face

I got up and walked to the bathroom and quickly showered and pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I walked out of the room to see aunt Nancy standing there with a smile on her face, she led me through the hallway, I walked down the familiar steps that brought me up here walking to the kitchen. I looked around the house and it was just as big as the mansion we stayed in. It had five floors and there were many rooms on each floor. The living room was filled with few people who were busy with something or the other. There was a lot of space in the living room, the walls were an off-white shade in colour and they were filled with photos and paintings of different types. Everything looked quite beautiful, there were people who walked past me without sparing me a glance, while some ladies working around gave me small smiles and I smiled waving at them. We entered the kitchen to see more ladies working around there and Luna was helping them check things to make sure everything is fine.

"Good morning sweetie" she said as soon she saw me coming in to the kitchen

"Good morning aunt Lilly" I greeted her with a smile

"Sweetheart, you should address her as Luna because she is the Luna of the pack" Aunt Nancy said looking at me with her sad eyes

"Ohhh" I said not knowing how to respond because she asked me to call her aunt Lilly

"I asked her to call me aunt Lilly besides Luna sounds old" she said laughing a little

"Nancy is right Lilly, she will address you as Luna because you are not her relative for her to call you aunt" we heard a deep voice say, we turned to see Alpha Black glaring at me and I audibly gulped in fear taking a few steps back

"Sweety what are you doing here anyway? Nancy why did you bring her here, this is not a place for a kid" she said ignoring her husband and aunt Nancy bowed her head slightly

"I am sorry Luna; I was just following Alpha's orders" Aunt Nancy replied

"Why would you order for a child to be present in the kitchen?" Luna Lilly asked firmly

"I would do whatever I want because I am the Alpha of this pack and everyone has to listen to my orders" he answered and I could say he didn't like Luna Lilly questioning him for me

"I see, this is how it is going to be" Luna Lilly said and the Alpha's eyes hardened

"Yes Lilly, this is how it is going to be, you are the Luna of the pack but I am your Alpha and you are bound to obey my orders, no one has the right to question my orders" he said and I was feeling bad for Luna Lilly because I was responsible for their fight

"I see, I am sorry about the Alpha, I will remember my place and try not to defy your orders again. I am sorry for disrespecting you" Luna Lilly said, her voice was still firm but her eyes showed that she was deeply hurt by the Alpha's words

"Lilly" Alpha warned, he took a deep breath as if preparing to say something

"It's alright Alpha, I learn my lesson the first time" she answered and his stare hardened again

"Very well" he said as he looked at her coldly before he turned his attention to the rest of us

"This human here will be responsible for the kitchen duties, make sure to teach her everything. You all will only be responsible for the other chores in the packhouse, she will be responsible for cooking, cleaning and washing everything in the kitchen. She is a slave so needs to be treated as one" he said, his voice was filled with disgust and hate for me and I know that he must be angry because I caused a fight between him and Luna

"Listen human, stay out of my way. Never come in front of me unless I say your presence is required, you try to come in way I will give what you deserve" he said and I backed away in fear nodding my head in agreement

"Since today is your first day, you can explore the packhouse so you get familiar with everything here, you start from tomorrow" he said as he moved to walk out of the kitchen

"And yes, don't think of fleeing away because I will find you and once, I do, I am going to kill you" he said and a chill of fear ran down my spine, my eyes filled with tears because I didn't know what my fault was and why I was being treated this way

"I am sorry sweetie; I couldn't do anything for you" Luna Lilly said and I shaked my head

"No, I am sorry Luna, you fought with Alpha because of me and now he is angry with and probably punish you for it" I said as my tears started slipping through my eyes

"No sweetie, it's not your fault, besides, I am grateful to you because of you I got to know what I really meant for him" she said her own eyes filling with tears and my heart broke seeing her hurt

"Luna, he is only angry because you took my side" I said and she smiled at me

"No sweetie, let it be, anyways you were going to tell me everything about what happened with you today and how you reached here?" she asked and I went silent

"Ummm---Luna? If you don't mind, can I tell you everything?" Aunt Nancy interrupted looking at the Luna with pleading eyes and she nodded her head in agreement

We all sat down at the table at the corner of the kitchen, aunt Nancy explained everything to Luna and the other woman helping in the kitchen. She told them about mom and dad, about my coven and about our visit to the bald Alpha's pack and how my parents got killed. Her eyes widened with shock when she found out everything, by the time aunt Nancy was done I was a sobbing mess and Luna scooped me in her arms trying to calm me down. Everyone had tears in their eyes, I learnt that the omega wolves are a little more emotionally connected to people and they feel emotions more than normal wolves. It took some time for me to calm down and when I did everyone hugged me one by one saying I am very strong and that everything will be fine.

"Sweetie, why don't you explore the pack since you got the day off today?" Luna asked and I nodded walking out of the kitchen

I was thinking back to the times where I spent my time enjoying my life with my coven, with mom, with dad, with Aiden and his parents. Everyone love me there and they were really very caring, they made sure that I get everything I wanted, I missed them all and I knew that they must be worried sick about me, I wonder if I will ever be able to get of here and go back to my coven, at least I will be able to live peacefully with the memories of mom and dad that surround there. I thought as I started walking to the garden in front of the packhouse.
