Chapter 3
THE GRIEF
FIRA’S POV
“Yuck. The omega is coming! The loser!” Jina was gesturing an L on her hand.
I passed her by not looking at her with dried woods on my hand.
“The weakest of all packs.” Lina blocked my way, she threw the woods by kicking it.
These triplets were boiling my blood. They were the triplets Beta: Lina, Jina, and Hina. If only I could fight, I did. But my family would be in danger if I kicked his ass off. One thing, it was not my usual to fight. Omega was treated like a servant, just a slave, not a fighter like Beta.
They were not satisfied by making my wood fall, they also stomped on it, the reason why it broke into small pieces and scattered on the ground.
I clenched my jaw, looked at them with my very sharp eyes. I closed my fist hard.
“What? Do you want to hit us, huh?” Jina tapped my cheek three times. I just stared at my side, seeing the sharp wood.
Lina rolled her index finger on my hair. “Pathetic.”
Even though they had the same features, I knew their differences according to their hair. Jina had red hair, Lina had blonde hair, and Hina had violet. They were like rainbow sisters, rather than Betas.
I turned my back, managed my temper not to burst out. The more I fight, the more I get hurt.
I was about to walk when Lina slapped me. I touched my cheek, glaring at her. In my mind, I wanted her to die.
“Opsy. My hand slipped.” Lina was raising her eyebrow.
I left them laughing out loud. I hoped your mouth would be inserted by bees.
My tears flowed as I walked into the forest, holding a piece of the sock. I could not see things clearly because my eyes were blurred. I was wiping the tears over and over again, but I could not stop them from sliding into my cheek.
It was hard to be an omega, the weakest of all weakest. Sometimes, I was ashamed of my own family. They could not even fight for themselves, their life was dependent on the protection of the higher ranking: Alpha, Beta, and other officials. I wanted to fight like them, but it was not allowed. Our duties were to serve them food, clean the areas, and do other things that a maid does.
I inhaled deeply and blew it out harshly. I also had a dream. To be a fighter someday.
Is there a possibility that my rank will go up? I don’t know. Even my mate is not yet showing up, if I have.
Where are you? What does your face look like? Would I like you?
Lots of questions were popping into my mind. Anyway, I should not be problematic. Maybe I would meet him some of these days. They say… your mate will come in an unexpected way. Just feel your heart.
In the middle of me picking the dried woods, I heard a loud sound of a gunshot. I looked around. I could not see anyone, but I was sure it was a hunter.
I moved up, ran towards it. I looked to my left and right, observed the swaying of the leaves, which means it was near my place. I stepped my feet like thunder, holding the small knife in my hand.
“Get the wolf! It is huge. We can price it with a thousand dollars.”
I was right. There were two hunters with their M26 shotgun, hanging on their frontal.
“Hey! What are you doing!” My voice echoed in the place.
I saw the other man was about to pull the trigger. I ran with big steps in every move I made. I jumped so high to stop him, but I was a failure. It hit the wolf, groaning in pain, twisting his body on the ground.
When I stared at it, I heard her voice.
“Fira, take care of the family. I love you all.”
Mom?
My tears started to condense in the corner of my eyes. I gritted my teeth as I stabbed one of them on his shoulder.
“You are ruthless!” I stabbed him over and over again, resulting in him shouting. He got the attention of his companion, that was why another one suddenly fired a gun. It struck my stomach. I held it with tears flowing into my cheek. I looked at Mom, her eyes were closed. The wolf form became human, making the hunters terrified.
I saw they were about to pull the trigger as my body fell. “No!” My sobs could be heard in the area, at the same time, the sounds of a shotgun echoed everywhere in the near place.
“No!” I crawled, using my elbow. I was having difficulty reaching my mother. My stomach was bleeding, a stinging sensation could be felt in that portion of my body.
“Mom!” I did everything to arrive at her location, when I reached, I grabbed her hands. “Mom.” The sound of my sobs turned loud. “Mom…” I touched her cheek. She was not responding. I looked at her holistic feature, her blood served as her body covering because she was nude.
“You see her, right? She changed into a wolf to be a human.” One of them laughed.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Is it funny to kill someone? I glared at him deadly, tears were flooding, teeth were gritting, and fists were clenched.
“Yeah.” The other one chuckled as if he was enjoying seeing me suffer. He moved closer to me and pointed his gun. “Mom? She is your mother? Show us how to transform yourself.” He grabbed his phone in his pocket. He was taking a video. “It would be viral.” They both laughed. Their laughter made me curse them into death.
“I will kill you!” I said with my gritting teeth. “I will kill your generation now, the second, third until no one is left the same as your flesh and blood!”
Their laugh started to be loud, teasing could be heard the way they did that.
“I will kill both of you! I swear to the Alpha King of Fire!” I said that with all my madness and grief.
“Calling me?”
My mouth barely opened as I stared at the man standing behind them.
