My tattered clothes felt out of sync with the luxury that this bar brought. The old building that had made me pessimistic turned out to have a luxurious and expensive interior. The patrons didn't seem to be from the lower classes.'There's no way they came from this remote village. They must be Alpha nobles who are traveling, and rest here every night.' I thought, my eyes scanning every corner of the bar with suspicion."Hey, you're pretty. Are you looking for an Alpha here?" The sentence came out again but from a different mouth. I guessed it was the manager of this bar.After the Alpha manager greeted me, the other bar patrons began to pay attention to me. Instantly, ugly Omegas like me became the center of attention. They couldn't compare to me who was dressed like a slave.So why were those Alpha women looking at me with envious eyes?"Leave her alone, Roy. She's not looking for a date," said the Alpha standing next to me. "She said she was interested in working for you. So, I bro

[This chapter is Hilbert's POV when He met Lizzbeth at the bar][Lizzbeth's POV stops here]....."Esther. There's someone I need to meet upfront. Can you wait here for a moment while I talk to him?"My marriage with Esther didn't go as pleasantly as I thought it would. But at least she wasn't an annoying Omega like Charmy.She can be cooperative and has good manners. As expected of an Alpha woman raised from a noble Alpha pack, she could be a partner to be proud of."You're not having an affair with another woman, are you?" she asked, while surrounded by her servants who were helping her take off her fur coat.I raised one eyebrow in response to her stupid question. Then she laughed."I was just joking," she continued. She settled back into the VVIP seat I had reserved, as she let her servants serve her."I'm just off if my Alpha gets caught making out with another woman. You know, our arranged marriage is irrevocable," she said between sips from a glass of expensive wine."Don't wor

"My dear! You have to get out of here! It's him! He's looking for you! He's already in this village!"I heard Amelia's voice calling out to me from a distance, as she ran away from the Alpha male who was looking for her. If she who was usually calm and positive so seemed panicked and out of control, then the current situation was worse than I could have thought."That Alpha, he's already in this village! It's only a matter of time until he finds you!" she screeched again.Her trembling hands grasped both my shoulders in desperation. She didn't say anything, but it was hard for me not to notice the punch marks on her palms. Indicating the Alphas who were looking for her earlier, had done a lot of violence to get her to open up.I couldn't bear to look at her. She had nothing to do with me. This all happened because of my carelessness."Amelia, calm down." I patted her cold sweaty back. I guided her to breathe while listening to whatever she had to say about the Alpha."I can't figure h

[The next morning]As if shame was no longer on my face, I used all the money I had to buy clothes and other items for my son, Crystal.The money Amelia had given me, the Beta priest had given me, was all spent on buying warm clothes for my son. After I decided not to go to the market, I realized that winter was coming.We didn't have a place to stay, or a safe place to hide. Before winter came, I had to stock up on winter clothes for my infant son.I wonder if we'll be sleeping on the streets when my money runs out. I also used this opportunity at the market to look for work."What's your name, lady? We'll write your name down for today's prize."I was lucky to meet a kind merchant who gave me a lot of discounts. He even rewarded me with premium quality beef that was so rare. 'Are ordinary merchants this good? I feel bad.' I muttered to myself."Ah. Can I leave my groceries there for a moment? There's something I need to buy there," I asked the waitress."Of course, Lady," he replie

"My guess was right, apparently. I didn't expect my reckless decision to follow you all the way here to turn into gold." Hilbert greeted my surprise with great anticipation.Our two eyes met each other. This time, he already knew who I was. The black cloth covering my face could no longer deceive him. My new identity as Lilac had been completely stripped away by him."How are you, Lizzbeth?" he called. His smile looked relieved and very satisfied. As if his struggle, his search all this time had paid off.'Damn it. I'm trapped!' I thought irritably."When we passed each other earlier in the city, I didn't want to believe my hunch," he said. "Our eyes met, but I didn't recognize you. No, we met at the bar earlier, didn't we? But I didn't recognize you. Because of your belly."His gaze rested on my perfectly deflated belly. "I thought your pregnancy was the only clue I had. As soon as I saw you with a flat belly, I immediately thought you weren't the Lizzbeth I was looking for. But it t
