chapter 3

I wake up, realizing that am in a medical facility of some sort, I’ve never been to one before but from what I see about hospitals on television, it looks like a medical facility. I lay on a white bed trying to re-collect my memories and know where I am. The throbbing pain in my head has lessened. I try to stand up but my head feels floaty for some reason, I notice that an IV has been run through my right hand.

A nurse walks in and notices that I am awake. How are you feeling now? She asks walking toward me. “Am f- fine” I manage to croak out as my throat feels dry. “w-where am I?” “Who brought me here”? “How did I get here” I ramble on feeling nervous. “Calm down, I will answer all your questions”. You are in the hospital of Silver Moon pack. The alpha’s son brought you in.

The nurse suddenly looks nervous, “The head alpha is on his way, I have to tell him about the pack mark on your shoulder” My heart drops, how could I have forgotten about the crescent moon on the top right side of my shoulder, a symbol which identifies me as a pack member of blood moon pack. My cover has been blown. Before I forget, the nurse says, the head alpha's name is Ralph, his son’s name is Dameon and my name is Lucy. If you need anything just press the button beside you, she says walking out and offering me a smile. “Good luck” she whispers.

The door swings open, and a tall alpha walks in, having a commanding aura all over me, he was probably over forty with sliver streaks on his hair, but he still looked young. And behind him was Dameon, who looked so pissed off. I shiver in fear as they enter the room, walking towards my bed. Dameon sports me a hateful stare that sends shivers down my spine. His jaws tick in irritation as he looks at me; I scramble up from the bed, pulling the IV out of my hand. He looks at me like I’m the dirt under his feet; he knows that I lied to him, judging by the way he looks at me.

The older man looks at me, ‘hello, little omega; I can't say it is a pleasure to have you here as this complicates things for me,” he says. I assume he is the head alpha the nurse was talking about. Head alpha Ralph. The nurse walks in but stands in a corner before the alpha asks her a question. “What is her stats”? He asks

She came in severely dehydrated and

malnourished, which is why she was plugged into an IV. also, she suffered a concussion before she completed her statement; Dameon cut her off. “Why are we wasting precious medical supplies on a blood moon bitch, who could be a spy for all we know,” he says with so much venom in his tone. I try not to cry, looking at the floor, trying to avoid his daze.

The nurse seems surprised and scared at his tone. She tries to continue, “She is just a girl, and it seems like she has been wandering in the forest for several days. Well, it being just a day, I muttered under my breath.’ She is also underweight and has several injuries,’ she continues. I noticed she had written a lot of things on her clipboard like she wanted to research me.

She looks like she wants to say more, but Alpha Ralph cuts her short, holding up his hands to indicate silence. “I apologize on my son’s behalf, Lucy. You have done a great job; you are dismissed”, he says, and she rushes out of the room. I wanted to call for her, not to leave me with these two scary alphas. The alpha sits down on the bed and turns to me. “ok, now, no more lies; what is your name? And what is your purpose here?” he says, looking at me.

My name is willow brown; he repeats my name like he is testing the feeling. Ok, did Blood Moon pack send you here, he asks again. I shake my head, NO. I say, but this seems to piss off Dameon. That bullshit, you fucking liar,” he snared. You told me you were a rogue, only to find out that you are a blood moon bitch. You’re a spy from the Blood Moon pack. That's not true, I say, as I am trying to defend myself desperately. “Then what is it? “asks alpha Ralph, clearly different from his hot-tempered son. I stammer, trying to answer his questions and not trying to reveal my story. i…I ran away from the pack. I just wanted to leave that awful place. I really did not mean to come here; I was going somewhere else, but I fell, hitting my head; I got confused about where I was going and got to this place; I didn’t plan on coming here. It was an accident, and I rambled. They were not buying my lies; I wouldn’t either cause I am terrible at lying.

Do you know we can't let you go so easily?” " This is a breach of our pack’s security, and we can't risk you going back to your pack as we are yet to confirm if you aren’t a spy. The thought of going back made my stomach churn; I didn’t want to go back to that place. But I am not going back to that place, I say, trying to make them see that their suspicion was not valid. Alpha Ralph looks at me contemplatively, ‘So will you stay here? It is better for you to stay here cause I am sure you don’t have a place to stay, and also, we can rest assured and keep an eye on you.

Do you mean I will stay here as a hostage, alpha Ralph sighed, ‘ what kind of man would I be if I locked up an omega, ‘so then,’ I asked. You will stay here like my pack members, and I am going to put you in school. This was the last thing I expected from an enemy pack. I look at Dameon as he doesn’t look too happy at the arrangement.’ Fuck this’, he says, slamming the door as he leaves the room. I flinch at the force of the door, using my hands to cover my ears.

‘He would come around,” Alpha Ralph says to me as he looks at the door his son just slammed. He just hates the blood moon pack, and it is for a valid reason. I just wish he could control that temper, he sighs.
