Chapter 2: Look the other way

Liv's POV

I watched panic take over Ryder's countenance the moment Max said that, causing him to yank the gun from his grip. "We aren't shooting, fucker" he warned.

Max snatched the gun back. "Can you not be fucking p*ssy all the time!" Max snarled, turning back to me with the gun.

He added. "And we can always fucking heal her anyway"

"Please don't shoot!" I yelled with my heart pounding in my chest. "Please!" I cried out

"You have 5 seconds to get down" Max snarled at me.

"What!"

"5...4" He counted regardless.

I held out my hand that instant. "At least wait for me to_"

"3..." Max echoed as he grinned harder, watching me in my distressed state.

Like my body was set on fire, I started climbing down the tree as fast as I could and I ran to where they were, falling on my knees just in front of Max who held the gun.

He walked towards me and placed his finger underneath my chin. "You know what happens now Liv"

He moved closer and I was pretty sure I saw him raise the gun. Suddenly the pack alarm bell went off, showing there was an emergency and that was only when Max lowered the gun.

"C'mon. Something's up!" Ryder tapped Max, already running towards the mansion and Max followed, retreating the gun.

As I watched them leave, I held my chest, trying to steady myself. That had to be the scariest few minutes of my life. I thought it was going to be my last because seeing Max with that gun, the determination in his eyes was inevitable.

I picked myself up from where I knelt and limped towards the mansion. I had bruised my thighs whilst coming down from the tree. Since I was an omega, I didn't heal as fast as Alphas or Beta, so I had to deal with the pain.

I got back inside the mansion, careful to make sure I didn't run into any of them. I knew the moment they found me, they were going to resume what they weren't able to finish.

The day was already coming to an end and I hoped I wouldn't run into any of them until I was back in my small room in the comfort of my bed and daydreaming about the next day.

While walking down the hallway, the number one thing I forgot to do was look in front of me. I gazed everywhere but in front of me as I made sure Max or Ryder didn't try and sneak up on me. That was their specialty. They were always full of surprises.

With my eyes darting over the place, I failed to realize there was someone in front of me until it was too late. I bumped into the huge figure, my head colliding on a hard chest. I gulped when a familiar scent hit my nose.

Looking up, my eyes met with intense peering green eyes. The scowl on his face made me shudder. It was Callum. He barely bullied me like the rest of his brothers, but I was terrified of him

"I'm sorry" I whispered, moving back a bit, hoping he would let it slide even though the way he glared at me proved otherwise,

Effortlessly, he grasped my arm, wrapping his hand around it and pulling me closer. "What the fuck did I say about cases like this Liv!" he growled, looking down at me with rage-filled eyes.

"Y_ you said whenever I see you coming, I should go the other way and don't let you see my face"

"It's very damn simple!" he gritted, inching even closer.

I folded that instant, closing my eyes and shaking. "I'm sorry"

"Of course, you're always damn sorry!" he snarled.

Sorry wasn't never enough for any of them. What more did they want from me, my blood? Hell yes, that was what they all wanted. Maybe if they had it, they would finally stop.

"C'mon Callum, the girl needs a break. You are needed in the halls anyways" I heard a familiar voice and that was the only thing that could tear Callum's intense eyes off me.

It was Bella, the Beta's daughter. He looked over at her and then he brought his gaze towards me. He grunted in disapproval. It was certain he wanted to do more to me, make me pay for bumping into him, but he had to leave.

The moment he exited the hallway, Lily turned to me, staring at me from up to down with her brown eyes.

"Did you fall in a trashcan?" she chuckled. "Let me rephrase that question. Did they dump you in a trash can this time?"

I looked down at myself. I sure did look a mess. My clothes were stained, some parts were ripped and my ankle had been bruised. I sighed, looking at her, not saying anything.

"For Christ's sake, you need to stop landing yourself in trouble all the time Liv" she let out.

That statement made me mad. 'Stop landing yourself in trouble all the time' as if I didn't wake up to trouble staring me in the eye every single day.

I looked at her defeated. "They are just obsessed with making my life hell"

"More like obsessed with you," she humphed as she walked out

I brought my shoulders down, dragging my aching body, not reading any meaning to what she had said. It was another regular day of being their plaything.

It was all going to end tomorrow. I was going to find my mate and also get my wolf. I walked down to the servant quarters and then to my room. I had finished with all my work that day.

I knew if I hadn't finished, Mrs. Yvonne, the head of maids would come knocking on my door in the middle of the night, dragging me out and scolding me.

Even thinking about her made me shudder. As a matter of fact, thinking about everything made me sick. I really hoped the next day was going to be the end of it.
