Chapter One

Tristan Lang, has been traveling a long way from his pack, Rid Pack, searching for a safe place to live. His pack? No, more like former pack. He's been on the road for weeks now and still hasn't found the better place he looking for. 

Well, he did find good places in other packs but damn, what bad luck being an omega has. The towns of the other packs were good but not the peoples. Their reactions and behaviors towards omegas was the worst he had witnessed in his life!

Tristan had to run from his former pack for the very same reason as he did when he went to check out the other packs on his map.

The reason why he was desperately checking out other packs was because he wanted a pack who would accept him just as he was. Packs who respected, valued and accepted omegas as their own and deities knew he would never search another pack after his encounter with the last pack.

That's to say, he did not find what he was looking for from the other packs.

The packs he visited before, hoping they would accept him and give him a place in their packs were far worst than his former pack.

The moment they found out he was omega, they fastened their seatbelts and run after him like cats after mouse.

And he, with no hesitation got into the car he stole from his father and continued the journey once again.

Now, about Tristan's story,

He immediately left home after he found out he was omega, and, all his life, his parents had been lying to him. Secretly nurturing and stuffing him with food like a chicken for Christmas, just so he would be giving to the alpha of his former pack when he came of age in secret.

The day he left, he found out two things. One, his parents had sold him to the alpha of his pack.

Two, his parents never loved him. The second realisation wasn't really a surprise as he had seen and felt it through out the years. But then, it still hurt. Hearing his parents call him an abomination, freak and so many other worst insults had broken his heart into pieces.

Thinking about it now, growing up, he had his suspicions, about him being omega just as his best friend Jake was. But then, he threw all his suspicions out the window, because of fear.

Who wouldn't be scared when they knew how their pack reacted to gay people and him being a male omega with no assumption meant he was gay, definitely gay. He has never seen or heard of a male omega whose mate was a female alpha and so, he strongly believe in his case as well, his mate was definitely a male alpha.

He was gay! Definitely gay! And the members of his former pack would not have taken it well.

No one in his former pack knew his best friend Jake was omega as he was given pills to concealed his true identity and that's why he has been on the safe-zoned through out the years.

He also found out he has also been on the safe-zoned through out his life thanks to the same pills he also used to take.

Finding this out, he didn't know whether to be thankful or not. However, he was grateful none of the members of the pack found out his true identity.

Gay people from his pack were either killed or beaten and left out of the pack with nothing but wishes of death taking them.

He was a little surprised when he found out his parents has sold him and his best friend Jake to the alpha of his former pack. The old man really had no shame.

In fact, he was lucky he found out early and was able to escape. But, what worries him the most at the moment was his friend and his brothers.

Tristan left his best friend back with promise that he would come for him and contact him everyday and true enough, he has been in contact with his friend since he left the pack and that's how he came to know how his parents were throwing tantrums for his disappearance. How angry the alpha of his former pack was, demanding his parents pay back the money he gave for Tristan of course not Jake as well, as he was still in reach, that too with interest.

Jake told Tristan how he had been locked in his room and once again, they left the window. The very same window he escaped through.

Tristan laughed so hard on hearing this. Jake would be able to escape as well and he knew why Jake hasn't yet.

His friend was waiting for him. Waiting for him to find a pack where they would both be safe. A pack where they wont be criticized, beaten or killed for being omega.

He just hope he finds this pack soon. Not just for himself, but for Jake as well. Through out the years, he hasn't been able to protect Jake like he promised his parents.

Jake's parents died when he was just a pup and so Tristan's parents took him in but who knew they would sell him together with their own son for money when they found out they were both omegas. 

He has been asking for forgiveness from Jake's dead parents since he found out about his parents little deal with the alpha of his former pack and hope they forgave him and his family, for not being much help or protecting Jake.

He really hope they forgive him wherever they were. And he also promise, that this time around, he would do everything to protect their son.

................come to think of it,

He hasn't heard anything from his brothers Zac and Albert either. Heavens knew, he was so worried about them all. However, if he wants to go back, he must at least find a safe place and some backup.

And so with that conclusion, Tristan looked back on the map which had the locations of other packs.

His brothers stole it for him from the study of the alpha of his former pack before he left.

Studying the map, Tristan realised, there was a pack, Moonlight Wolf Pack a few kilometers away.

He then closed the map and shoved it under his laptop bag before focusing on the road.

After driving for deities knew how long, no stop except relieving himself, Tristan finally arrived at the pack which was a few kilometers away.

He has already decided not to build up his hopes, that this pack could be his new pack because of the experiences he had with the other packs but somehow the feeling was there. The feeling that this would be his new pack and that he has finally found something that would be his.

That's crazy right?

Making a stop, Tristan parked the car at the entrance of the town as directed by a handsome man who suddenly appeared, surprising him. But that's not the only thing that surprised him. The fact that, there was only one guard at the entrance did as well but who's to say he wasn't grateful?.

It was already 2am in the morning and he was tired from all the driving, so of course he was happy to see there was only one guard here which meant it won't take long for them to sort out his sudden appearance.

Though happy, Tristan was a little terrified, considering what he encountered visiting the other packs. He didn't want to go back there again cause it was so horrifying. Frustrating and angering as well.

The tall gentleman who had red hair and scarlet red eyes now stood beside the driver's seat where Tristan was seated with a genuine smile on his face, gesturing Tristan to lower down the window and he did, though he hesitated.

"Hi" said the handsome guy, still with that beautiful smile on his face. Seeing the genuine smile, Tristan couldn't help but to also smile back.

"Can you please step out?" The guy said in a calm voice that was beginning to fill Tristan with hope cause this handsome gentleman must definitely know what he was yet he hasn't said or acted rude with him which kind of made him happy.

Tristan stepped out of the car with no hesitation, looking around in process. The town seemed calm, looks like everyone was asleep.

But Damn! The town was really lighted out as he could see everything clearly unlike his former pack where it was all dark, dark and dark.

"May I know your name? I'm Chris by the way" Chris said, his hand extended out for a handshake.

Tristan looked at the hand before him, though scared, he couldn't help but be curious as to why this man was being nice to him but to not take his hand would be rude so he took Chris's hand.

Chris then smiled and he also managed a smile before saying "Tristan Lang"

"Well, nice to meet you Tristan" Chris said then,  they took back their hands, smiling at each other. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I'm actually looking for a pack to stay in" Tristan answered with no hesitation, seconds later, unsure if it was a good idea to share.

"You're looking for a pack to stay in? Like permanently?"

"Y—Yes" he answered hesitating, watching as a welcoming smile graced Chris's face once again.

"Great, I'm guessing you must be tired after the long trip Tristan. Why don't you join me at the main house so you can get some rest? We'll talk tomorrow when you meet the alpha of our pack"

"Really?!" Tristan was happy to hear that cause not only didn't he have nothing to eat but also had no place to stay and he needed a bath so bad!.

He should take up the offer but then it hit him big time! This man was a stranger, and judging by his scent, he's a beta and not a simple one, why would he be this nice if he didn't want anything in return? Before he could think any more of his unnecessary accusations, Chris interrupted him."I swear I won't do anything to you. I just want to help you" he said with his hands up high like a police officer just said 'Hands in the air!!' or something.

Tristan relaxed a little on seeing how determined the guy was to help him, or so, he thought. "You know am omega right?"

"Yes, and that's why I want to help you. Is not safe leaving you out here alone" Chris replied, looking concern for Tristan but Tristan wouldn't be Tristan without a hard fight. "Well, I've been on the road for weeks now and I've been fine" Tristan replied with a stern look.

He really wanted to give up and go with the guy but he also didn't want to look easy and that's why he was playing hard to get.

Chris chuckled. Oh, he didn't know if he said something funny. His stern look turned into a frown. "Did I say something funny?" Chris looked up at Tristan, looking like he found the look on Tristan's face fascinating. "You look like a stronge one. I like that" Tristan's features softened as he looked at Chris with a puzzled look. "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions. I just want to help you" says Chris.

Tristan stared attentively at Chris unwilling to miss a single change from his expression. He wanted to know if Chris really meant what he said, if he was really saying the truth and sure enough, he couldn't catch anything that could proof he was lying or he had hidden intentions and so he nodded, agreeing to go with him.

Wasting no time, Chris helped Tristan with his travelling bag while he took the bag pack with his laptop bag. He wanted to object with Chris helping him with his luggage but Chris shut him up before he could even start, like he could read his mind or something.

    ********🐺🐺********

From the entrance to the mansion wasn't that far as they walked. Chris promised Tristan they would come for the car the next day and with that, he agreed. He didn't know why Chris didn't want them to take the car with them but he agreed anyway, without even hearing the reason.

Now, the reason why Chris decided they walk instead of taking the car was simply because he needed some air and exercise.

The guy ate too much, too much that, he couldn't sleep because his stomach was aching and that's why he decided to go out for a walk but, who would have known he would find the entrance of the town empty and with a car coming to the direction of the entrance. Well, he was glad it wasn't an attack and surely, those bastards who were on duty will be punished tomorrow with, no mercy!.
