Chaoter 5: Shattered by Lies

The gasp shook her to the brim. Lucas was a big liar, and she knew she would not escape this shit. No one would save her, not even Mrs. Dozza, the chef.

"But being the alpha's son, trying to be responsible, I tried talking sense into that brilliant head of hers, making her understand that I could not do such act, not when I am not yet mated. I was keeping myself for my mate."

Lucas said, looking at her, his face now turning sad and bitter. Bella looked at him, her eyes already felt blurry with the words of lies that the alpha's son spilled out from his damn disgusting lips. He was sure a good actor.

"But she insisted. She behaved as if she was on her heat, but she was not yet mated to anyone, neither was I her mate."

Lucas said, watching as everyone shook their head with disgust at what he said. Lucas was sure a good liar, Bella thought. Lucas turned slightly, using his foresight to watch the omega's family—her two senior sisters who would make her life miserable and her mother who would not hesitate to kill her without thinking twice.

"And what happened afterwards? Did you accept her proposal? Did you have any sexual relations with her?"

Kira asked, her voice daunting Bella. She could not believe her junior sister—no, she was not her sister. Over her dead body would that thing be her sister. Bella was the omega of the pack, and how dare she try to seduce someone whom she had an eye for? She was always behaving like a sheep, but she never knew she was more dangerous than their kind.

"No, I would never have tried such disgusting thing with her. She is the omega, and trying such shit with her could have tamed my image and brought ridicule to my lineage and to the entire pack."

Lucas said, smiling with happiness, victory. He never knew persecuting her would be much funnier than killing her.

"She tore her clothes apart when she knew I would not oblige to her request, and seeing she was being stubborn, I pushed her on the wall, which had caused her to lose her balance, and she fainted. I rushed out from the room, scared to the brim, not knowing if she was dead or alive. After some hours, I had sent these two men."

Lucas said, pointing at the two men who had come seeking for Bella in her room. Bella watched him as he fed the whole pack with lies upon lies.

"And they came back, informing me that the omega was not in her chambers when they went searching for her. They came back informing me of her absence, which terrified me more. I was not myself, scared of what has happened to her. Then I decided to come meet her. Maybe she might be in the kitchen, and I have found her, better and well. All thanks be to the goddess."

Lucas said, smiling silently. The room was quiet. He knew this was the silence before the great storm which awaited the omega. Bella looked around. She saw the looks on their faces. Their faces were filled with hatred, malice, and unrequited anger all towards her. She turned, looking at Mrs. Dozza, hoping at least someone would trust her, but all she received was a wave of the head. No one believed her. Of course, who would believe her over the words of an alpha's son? 

But at least, she could make a trial to defend herself. She still had a tongue which was never tied down with their hatred. She said, her head almost high. She was scared, scared of her life, scared of her family, not knowing what they would do to her.

"I never did anything that you said. You are lying against me. You are not saying the truth. You speak li—"

But her words were cut short with a loud scream that rang through her ears, causing her to shiver with fear, fear of being hunted for life with these moments. Quickly, turning her head towards where the voice came from, she saw Kira striding towards her with a deadly stare. Her teeth prolonged with anger, her fingers turned to that of an animal, a wolf. She stepped back as her sister strode towards her. She knew she was dead, but the more she stepped back, the more she strided towards her. With a quick yank, Kira yanked her on her head, causing a scream of pain to erupt from her lips.

"How dare you try something so disgusting with my man, the alpha's son? You want to nail him down by bearing his pup, huh, you little bitch? And now, you dared open those disgusting lips of yours to spill more trash, saying he lied? The alpha's son lying? That is so ridiculous of you."

Kira shouted, smashing her head on the counter. As a ripple of pain seared her senses, causing a ripple of screams to escape her lips.

"She's a damn smokey bitch."

Lara said, walking towards her two sisters. She was the eldest among the three, and she hated the omega with an unrefined hatred.

"Yes, she is."

"She's such a whore."

"Such a bad wide pussy, she's really a bad bitch."

Whispers filled the room, already disgusted with the omega. Lucas watched with satisfaction. He loved what he was seeing—her foolish family tormenting her, not him.

"Quiet but deadly like a snake, ssssss."

One of the maids said, causing the whole room to burst into a ripple of laughter. But it was different with Bella. A loud pain seared through her face as Lara gave her a hot, dirty slap. Kira held her in place, preventing her from escaping the attacks that their elder sister was meting upon Bella.

"Enough, enough please. I only came here to ask of her well-being, nothing else. I never came to cause any form of pain to her, but to know if she was doing fine."

Lucas said, striding towards Kira as he wrapped his hands around her waist, releasing her hold from Bella. He could see a little amount of blood on her forehead. That was really fair enough for the omega. She had disobeyed him, and she would suffer. He would have to save her for another day.

"But baby, why don't I finish her for trying shit with y—"

"Shhhh, she does not worth your anger, you know, my love. Now let's leave here. I need a clean sanity."

Lucas said, dragging Kira out from the kitchen, but not after giving the slave another smirk before exiting out from the kitchen.

Bella shook with fear, rage, and pain. The pain she felt in her heart was more than the physical pain her sister Kira had caused upon her.

"That serves you better, omega."

Lara said, spitting on her before exiting the kitchen. The whispers continued. Bella stood up, still seeing the look on their faces. She saw her mother striding towards her. She bowed down quickly, avoiding causing another dispute.

"And again, you decided to cause more troubles. I thought you slept with a guy. I never knew you tried forcing yourself on the alpha's son. That's very shameful of you to do."

Envylin said, looking at Bella with disgust. She could not believe she had borne this disgrace with her own belly.

"Now leave this kitchen before you infect the others with your perverted behavior."

Envylin shouted. Quickly, Bella ran out of the kitchen as heavy tears flew down her cheeks. She was shattered with pain and bitterness, which was caused by her pack, whom she thought would be a family to her.
