Chapter two ( Unplanned meeting )

Eden Rastol

I forced my eyes to open, I was surprised to see myself lying on the bare ground, I stood up in a haste and looked around the environment, I was surprised to see the ocean meters away from me. "How is this possible?" I ask myself, I look down at my boxer to see it's long dry already. I signed.

I don't know where to go from here, I could imagine the pain my mother is feeling now. She would probably think I'm dead, but I promise to come back when everything is fine. Surprisingly the collar and chains are now gone, I just have to find the nearest pack and settle in.

I stood up and dust my body, I only have my boxers on. I look crazy right now, I pray I find someone soon. This place looks deserted. I started walking to an unknown destination praying for an angel to pop up from somewhere. I was already getting tired because I've been walking for hours. I was about to give up when I sighted a big pack from afar. I was filled with joy, with determination I gathered up strength and hastened my steps using my last strength.

Finally I stood before the big gate that was surrounded with guards all through, I was mesmerized by the beauty of the place that I did not hear the honking of cars behind me

"Do you want to get in trouble?" An old woman asks, dragging me aside from behind. 

"No" I muttered, lowering my gaze on the floor as she stared at me weirdly, and I knew it's because I was only in my boxers. I saw the first car in the roll, stopped just before me, the tinted glass whine down revealing a lady or should I say a goddess

"You're lucky I'm in a good mood, filthy thing" She sneered at me disgustingly before the glass was rolled up, the gate was already open they drove in and the gate was closed.

"Come with me" The old woman said and shook her head before walking ahead, while I followed. We didn't walk for long before we stopped in front of a not so fancy apartment.

"This is where I live," She answered, guessing that's what I wanted to ask.

"It's nice" I nodded my head

"Come inside" She urged me. She opened the door and we entered the house. I look around, the house might not look so big, but it's okay, neat and comfortable for living. I look at the sofa but decide to continue standing since I've not been asked to sit.

"Have a sit" She gestured towards the sofa

"Thank you," I muttered while sitting down.

"You need a proper bath and a nice meal, wait here let me set a bath for you" 

"Thanks" I muttered meekly, and watched as she left. 

I wasn't used to people caring for me except for my parents, what if she learns of my identity and sends me out? I don't have anywhere to go. 

"No, I can't take such a risk" I concluded and decided to hide my real identity from her. I think this new place might actually be a new beginning for me.

"Come with me" A voice snapped me out of my thoughts, I looked up to see the old woman before me. I stood up and followed her, she entered a room

"That's the bathroom, I already run you a bath so go in and wear this cloth after bathing, they are my late husband's clothe and I'm sure it will size you

"Ohh" I muttered and nodded my head,

"Excuse me?" I said when she started walking off, she halted on her step and turn

"Thank you" I muttered 

"Call me Nana" She smile

"Thanks Nana"

"What's your name" 

"Eden" I replied shortly, praying she don't ask my last name

"And……?" She drawled with raised eyebrows, but I lowered my gaze to the floor, praying inwardly that she understands me.

"Alright Eden have your bath and come out, let me get you something to eat" She concluded, and smiled shortly before walking out. I exhaled with relief

I discarded my already worn out boxers in the bin and entered the shower, I don't know for how long I stood under the shower, but when I came out with a towel wrapped around my waist I felt peace of mind. I stood before the full length mirror, people I've always admired my handsome nature and maybe that's the only good thing nature gave. I was regarded as the handsome Omega in Harlet moon pack. My mother has always been proud of me.

I signed and exhaled remembering my parents, but then I need to put all of my past behind and stay good for them. I will need to go back someday.

"Come out and let's have dinner if you're done" I heard Nana's voice 

"I will be out in a minute" I muttered and took one last glance at myself in the mirror before walking out. I walk into the living room, I look around for her but she's nowhere in sight

"Come over here dear" I heard her voice and saw her sitting at the extreme end that looks like dining with food set on the table. I walk towards her 

"Have a seat" She said to me

"Thank you" I muttered and sat down by the side. The aroma of the meal hit my nose, my stomach rumbled 

"Bad timing'' Liam my wolf groan, and I smile finally he talked

" Dig in," Nana said to me and I smiled. I picked up my spoon and started churning down the sumptuous meal. I finished my meal and exhaled finally feeling good. I raised my head and saw Nana staring at me with a face full of smiles. 

"Hope you enjoyed it" She asked in motherly tone, with her face filled with concern

"Yeah thanks Nana" I smiled shyly.

"Can you now tell me about yourself?" She asked, I looked away immediately praying inwardly that she stop

''It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, feel free to tell me whenever you want to" 

"Thanks" I muttered finally looking up to her

"This is my house, my husband died years ago and you might be wondering, yes! I have no kids" She concluded but I could feel a hint of pain in that

"It's okay'' I said to her in a comforting manner.

" Are you from Blackheart?" She ask 

"What's Blackheart?" I asked back

"Guess you're not from here then…" She smile and then it dawn on me that this place is Blackheart

"You will follow me to the the Supreme Alpha's mansion tomorrow, I work there''

"What!!!?" My eyes widened

"You mean the Supreme Alpha lives in this city" I ask becoming scared already

"Yes and you met her already''

"No I haven't" I denied immediately, not understand her

"Don't worry till tomorrow" She wink at me, packing up the plate, but I rushed towards her and took the plate from her

"I will do it" I muttered

"But……?" She meant to argue

"I'm used to things like this Nana" 

"Alright have a goodnight sleep" She said and touch my cheeks in a tender manner

"You too" I smile and walk off.

Last night was awesome! I had one of the best sleep of my life, and right now we are on our way to the Supreme Alpha's mansion, I can't deny I'm not nervous, my heart has been palpitating though I manage to put on a smile. The number stopped before the huge gate and we climb down, Nana paid him 

"Let go" She said and we started walking in, the guards didn't interrupt or stop us, guess they recognized Nana, we entered and for one minutes I zoned out. 

"This is paradise….." I marveled staring at the beauty of the mansion before me

"Stop staring you don't want to get in trouble" Old Nana snapped me out of my thought

"Sorry was just lost for a second" I apologize

''It's okay let's go" She said, but then she stopped and turned towards me

"Follow me closely" She instructed and I nodded my head. I was wowed by the number of guards and maids that were all walking about, it's already making me wonder how huge this mansion is….it's like a whole different town. 

We were now inside the mansion, I was trying my best to keep track with Nana since many people keeps walking about, suddenly I bumped into a lady

"Watch your way" She snarled harshly

"Sorry" I muttered and when I looked around, Nana was out of sight. I couldn't see her, my heart started racing remembering her warnings. I became confused, not knowing what to do, after much thought I decided to start searching for her. I followed a narrowed hallway I guessed she must have walk through, 

I started walking through the hallway but it seemed too quiet like there's no soul here. I wanted to turn back but something kept pushing me to go further, like I'm not in control of myself. I finally stopped seeing the stairs on the left. I don't know where I got the courage from. I started climbing the stairs. It stopped before a wide passage and before it was an elevator. I pressed on it and the elevator opened, I entered and it closed. I don't know where I was going, but the elevator stopped and beep it opened, taking that as a clue I walked out.

I saw a transparent door before me, I don't know but somehow I wanted to see how the inside looks like. I took a close walk to the door, filled with curiosity I pushed the door open and entered, "Dang!" I was taken aback, this is heaven. Everything here is sparkling white and speaks of wealth, this place screams money.

I wanted to touch the white glass table in the middle when suddenly, I felt chills run down my spine. I felt like a pair of eyes was watching me. I bailed my fist as I suddenly became nervous, slowly I started turning and boom! The lady from yesterday. She look emotionless as she stares at me 

"How dare a thing like you step your filthy feet into my territory?"
