C6 Chapter 6: Omegas

It was afternoon when I left the packhouse. I immediately went straight to the tree house and looked up. Magnus' young brother was still there and was busy drawing. I noticed that since morning he has not left this place.

I didn't think twice about climbing the tree house. After climbing up, the boy who was facing the window while looking at a tree immediately looked at me. That's what he was drawing.

I walked closer to him and bowed slightly. “Hi, crown prince of BloodPearl. I am Freya. And starting today, I will be your new nanny," I introduced myself to the child with a big smile.

But he just continued drawing as if he didn't hear anything. Silence prevailed so I just cleared my throat. I was looking forward to this thing, which Magnus and he have in common in temperament.

I walked closer and stood next to him to look at his drawing. Only then did I notice that he was frowning as he was seriously drawing the apple from the tree.

When he made a mistake in his drawing, he immediately crumpled the paper in annoyance and just threw away the pile of crumpled paper wherever it was.

Now I understand why he was here all day.

For a while I just let myself watch the child in what he was doing and observe it. As he did earlier, he ended up crumpling the papers because he ran out of patience with what he was drawing.

And for the last time he was about to crumple up the paper when I immediately stopped him.

He stopped and frowned at me. "Who are you?" he asked.

I smiled. "I am your new nanny. And what is your name by the way?”

He laughed suddenly. "You're my nanny and yet you don't know my name?" he answered annoyed causing me to be silent.

They are really the same brothers.

"Alright." I sighed. "I won't ask you any question anymore, but here's why you keep doing wrong in drawing an apple."

I took the pencil from his hand and the same paper he was drawing on. I showed him my drawing as I spoke, "Apples are not totally a circle because they have curves. So, here's how you do it."

I calmly explained to him the right way drawing of the apple until I noticed that his attention gradually focused on what I was teaching.

When finished, I returned the paper and pencil to him. "Your turn," I promised with a smile.

At first he hesitated but finally sighed. He took the pencil and tried to draw the apple again.

At first I thought he would make another mistake but I just smiled when he got used to it because unlike before, he was able to draw it now properly.

Later he colored his drawing. He begged me to help him and I complied. He was quiet but I was glad to see him smiling.

When we finished coloring, he wrote his name on the paper.

Prince Malbonte, what a majestic name. I thought in mind.

But I also stopped when he gave me the paper and pencil. "I am not the only one who created this so, you have to put your name too," he said.

I was about to moan at first but when I felt that the child was going to struggle, I smiled and nodded. I took the pencil and wrote my name there.

I returned the paper and pencil to Prince Malbonte and said cheerfully, "Done!"

He took the drawing and read what I wrote. "Mia Eveleigh..." He frowned at me. "I thought, you are Freya? You're the princess of Kingdom of Sonorous, right?”

My eyes widened when I realized what I had written.

I saw Prince Malbonte frown.

But before he got suspicious, I immediately laughed. "Mia is just my second name."

The boy looked at me for a few seconds, but after that, his face lit up, causing me to breathe easy.

"If so, I want to call you by your second name."

I bit my lip at what I heard. I don't know if that's a good idea, but since I said it was my second name, it looks like no one will suspect who I really am.

When he finished signing his work, I applauded. “You're such a talented prince. I thought you look like your older brother who is even scarier than a monster, but it's not because you're just a nice kid," I continued laughing.

Prince Malbonte looked at me, "You call the Alpha a monster?" he promised incredulously.

I nodded bravely. “Magnus Haven is a monster—”

"Talking behind my back, huh."

My eyes widened when suddenly someone spoke behind me. I stood up and faced the man who spoke and there I saw the serious face of Magnus.

It was obvious from his face that he had been there for a while and was listening to the conversation between his brother and me.

I looked behind Alpha and there I saw his two comrades. And if I'm not mistaken, they were the two who seized me to lock me up in this packhouse.

I smiled big in front of Magnus to make it simple but despite that, I was nervous inside. “You're thinking wrong, Alpha. What I mean is you're monstrous for your own good," I explained while trying to laugh. "Look. You became the strongest Alpha.”

Magnus didn't let me say anything anymore and he signaled to the two comrades that made my eyes widen.

His comrades came to me and held me by both arms. I hesitated but they were really strong.

"Follow us, Malbonte," that was the last thing I heard Magnus say when I felt a hand hit my neck causing me to lose consciousnes.

Later that day.

My spirit awoke when I heard the loud splashing of water.

I opened my eyes and the dark night appeared before my eyes.

Where am I? I thought in mind.

I looked around until I realized I was on the deck of a big old cargo ship.

I was leaning on the big pole with my hands tied tightly to it. Only then did I realize that there were women tied next to me who, like me, had their hands and legs tied. They were all blindfolded while I was the mouth.

All of them were obviously asleep, dried tears and blood could also be seen on their blindfolds, a sign of mistreatment.

I tried to scream for help but after a few minutes no one came.

But after a while I felt the sudden movement of the woman who has blinfold in her eyes next to me. She woke up and faced me.

I heard her laugh. "Maybe you just woke up from the captivity of the rogues," she said.

I stared at her. I suddenly felt pity for her as well as for her companions.

What's happening? Is this all Magnus plan?

She continued to speak. "All women here are omegas. Most are from Sonorous, and others are from BloodPearl and various Packs from Avalonn Kingdom. All the women here have been captured by rogues.” She laughed some more and continued speaking. "To sell us to the rogue syndicate and turn us into entertainment."

I got nervous because of what she said. I didn't try to speak for fear that someone would hear us both.

"I'm from the Sonorous Pack," she added bitterly. "And it's hard to accept that our own Alpha is the one with the plan in all of this."

It was like cold water was poured on me when I heard that.

“That's why Alpha Dominn doesn't lose wealth and he can keep the Kingdom of Sonorous rich because he has it. He has this illegal transaction with rogue syndicates that will give him a lot of money every day," the woman said. "It's hard to believe, isn't it? I also thought the Eveleighs were nice and clean… but they are worse than the constipated.”

I looked down when I heard that. That's where my tears fell. Even if I want to think that this woman's accusation against my father is wrong, I can't do it anymore especially since the evidence is in front of me.

I noticed that she felt my silence so she faced me again. "But don't worry, we are safe from the hands of those rogues," she promised me causing me to frown and look at her again. “The Alpha of the BloodPearl Pack is here now with his crew. They defeated the rogues and are now their captives. None of us know what the BloodPearl Pack will do to us but I feel that we are all safe now.”
