Emily regained consciousness once more, finding herself in the same room. However, this time, a lady was waiting for her in the chair beside her bed. Emily recognized the lady from the first time, and watched her warily as she gazed back cautiously. Emily wondered why someone was watching her. Was it to prevent her from escaping?“I'm harmless,” the lady reassured Emily. However, Emily wasn't sure whether to believe her. The lady showed Emily her empty hands and said, “I am your doctor. I have been treating you for days.”Emily continued to observe the doctor, keeping her gaze locked on her. What would happen now that she was awake? But it seemed that the doctor still had a lot to say. “I'm going to ask you a few questions. You can nod or shake your head in response. Is that okay?”Emily took her time before nodding her head. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail on top of her head, and she wore a large gown that failed to conceal how skinny she was.“Good. Are you feeling any pain?” th
Lois must have said the wrong thing, because, Emily was shaking furiously, she pulled away from Lois and that was it, they were going to lock her in to prevent her from escaping. They had been so good to her for a reason. Emily should not have trusted Lois, what was she thinking of in the first place, that she would be accepted here, forgetting she was only an Omega.“Please, calm down Emily, I’m not going to hurt you” Lois saidEmily would have loved to shout the word liar at her, they are all lairs from the pit of hell.“Please, listen to me Emily, I was only joking” Lois said with a quiet voice, she was distressed, her eyes filled with tears for Emily.Emily paused enough to notice that Lois was actually crying, why would Lois be crying? She was the one who should be crying not Lois.“I’m sorry for scaring you Emily, I never meant it, I was only saying that to avoid people coming here anyhow, I’m so sorry” Lois said as she turned and ran out of the room leaving Emily confused.If sh
Emily focused on controlling her breathing, taking deep breaths in and out, and repeating positive affirmations in her mind. She reminded herself that Davies was a harmless Beta and Lois's mate, and that she had nothing to fear. After a few moments, her body stopped shaking and she was able to look up at Lois with a weak smile."Excellent job, Emily. You did it," Lois praised, beaming at her. She then turned to Davies, who was standing by the door, and blew him an air kiss. "Can he come closer?" she asked Emily, who nodded in agreement.Davies approached them, stopping beside Lois. "Hello, Emily. I'm Davies, Lois's mate," he introduced himself."Hello, Davies," Emily wrote in response."It's nice to finally meet you. I'm here to escort you and Lois for your walk," Davies informed her."Okay," Emily wrote back."Alright then, you have everything you need to get ready in this bag. We'll be waiting for you in my office when you're done," Lois said, placing the bag on the bed. "Come on, D
The next day, Emily was waiting for Lois when she arrived late. Nani also came to visit her and brought fruit salad, which Emily was grateful for. She couldn't thank Nani enough and asked why she was being so kind to her. Nani didn't give a direct answer but said that Emily was beautiful and like a child to her. Emily wondered why Nani picked her when there were probably many beautiful and child-like adults in the pack, considering she was just a low-class Omega. Nani also told her that she had a bright future ahead of her, but Emily was cautious about getting her hopes up.Nani left after receiving a call from a friend, and Emily bid her farewell. She wished she could buy herself a cell phone one day, but she knew she had to work to earn the money. She considered working in a bar or cleaning houses, as Omegas were treated fairly in the pack, but she didn't want to be tied up in the pack house. She wanted to explore and smiled when Lois finally entered her room with another bag of clo
Nani decided to take matters into her own hands and paid a visit to Garrett's office. She was ready to confront her grandson, as she could not sit back and watch him mistreat his mate any longer. The poor child did not deserve the attitude he was showing towards her. Although it was not the mate's fault that she was paired with Garrett, he should not be treating her poorly. Nani believed that even if Garrett was cursed and unable to love, he should at least be lusting after his mate, which was not a bad thing. However, he was not even displaying that much.Nani barged into his office without knocking, and Garrett did not bother to look up as he already knew who it was. Nani pounded her fist on his desk, and Garrett had no choice but to look up at his grandmother. He could see the fiery anger in her eyes, just like the one he inherited. Without even asking what brought her to his office, Nani exploded."That child will leave the hospital wing and live in the pack house, doing whatever
The next day, Nani accompanied Emily as they made their rounds, introducing her to various members of the pack. They even helped Caroline in the kitchen, although she was nearly finished with her tasks. Some of the Omega assigned to the kitchen had already completed their duties and left for school. Emily, on the other hand, wasn't sure if attending school right now was the best course of action for her. She hadn't attended school in quite some time and felt deficient in many areas. Why subject herself to potential humiliation by going to school?Emily visited the hospital wing to see Lois, who was delighted to see her. They spent several hours together, during which Lois recommended the best places to visit in the pack, including restaurants, shopping malls, parks, and coffee cafes. Emily laughed and stated that she couldn't visit these places empty-handed and that she needed to earn some money first."Sure, sure," Lois replied. "Have you been attempting to speak?" she inquired of Em
Lois appeared to notice Emily's attention had shifted, for she looked over and saw Garrett standing at his personal gym room, staring at them. Lois had forgotten that the Alpha gym room was closest to the Patient room. Sensing Emily's unease, she mind-linked Garrett, "Alpha, can you stop glaring at us and allow me to do my work?"Garrett's gaze left Emily and turned to Lois, but he didn't respond. Instead, he resumed looking at Emily. There were no books in sight, so Emily couldn't ask Lois if she had done something wrong. She remained still, half-submerged in the water, unsure of what to do."Garrett?" Lois asked through the mind-link, noticing Emily's discomfort. "She is still undergoing treatment, and your stares are not helping her," she informed him.Garrett appeared unresponsive, and it seemed as though he was going to continue staring at them. Fortunately, Davies arrived and engaged Garrett in conversation, prompting him to pick up his towel and leave the gym room. Davies waved
After the test, Davies chauffeured them back to the pack house. Lois was informed by her mate that Emily could go to the park another day, not specifically that day. Lois didn't argue with him, knowing full well that the conversation had to be held with Garrett. Upon arrival at the pack house, Lois apologized to Emily that they couldn't go to the park. Emily was not upset; she thanked Davies for the ride and walked ahead of them into the pack house, while Davies wanted to talk to Lois."I have nothing to say to you, Davies," Lois stated, irritated with her mate."You know I'm not at fault, Lois," Davies replied."Did I say that you were? I have to get back to work," Lois responded."Lois...""For Pete's sake, Davies, get to work," Lois cut him off and walked away.Garrett, who had been lurking around the corner, inquired, "What did you do?""It's your fault," Davies informed him."Me? How?""Just accept your mate, okay? I wouldn't have to argue with mine," Davies retorted."How does
