Episode 2

He cleaned the wound skillfully and quickly removed the bullet. It was lodged in his abdomen, but it didn't seem to have affected any vital organs, so it wasn't too difficult of a task. While she was working, the 27-year-old man discreetly smelled her beautiful hair. Her scent was intoxicating, but he kept his composure. He still didn't know what to do in this situation.

"What's your name, omega?" he spoke without any emotion.

"Sasi," she said, trying to maintain her composure. He makes her nervous, especially when he treats her this way. She is certain that he knows she is his mate, but it seems like he rejects her.

"What's your name, Alpha?" she asked timidly.

The man looked at her in a complicated way. He doesn't want to tell her anything about himself yet. If he decides to reject her, it's better for her not to know where to find him to beg him. For this Alpha, omegas are so inferior that they prefer to be lovers rather than Lunas. But he doesn't want to take any risks. He wants to heal and get away from her quickly.

"Just call me Alpha, you don't need to know my name," the man stood up clumsily, causing Sasi to fall on her butt.

The man saw the small, rustic bed she had made with logs and branches, and then noticed the furs she had. He threw a few furs on the floor and ordered without hesitation.

"You will sleep there, and I will take the bed. Get me some food." Sasi clenched her teeth. It was clear that this Alpha was a prejudiced jerk with omegas, but it was better for him to heal quickly and leave. If an idiot like him is her destiny, she would rather be alone.

Sasi went to the stove. She had cooked not long ago and the food was still warm. She served a plate for him and another for herself. It wasn't much, but it was enough for both of them.

The Alpha looked at his host's plate and felt like she had more food than him, so he decided to reprimand her.

"I am your superior, why are you giving me less food?" he frowned while Sasi looked at the plates bewildered. She didn't see how she had served herself more food, but this Alpha was being an idiot.

"Alpha, I think they're equal and also..." Sasi couldn't finish her sentence when a threatening growl echoed through the cabin.

"Are you calling me a liar? You're just an insignificant Omega, and you dare to contradict me?" The man was upset. Sasi was startled. How could this irrational and baseless wolf be her mate?

Sasi took a deep breath. She can't attract attention. She must maintain a low profile so that no one notices. He will be better in a couple of days and will leave. It's clear that he doesn't consider her worthy to be his mate, he treats her badly and insults her, so she wants him to go away.

"Alpha, I'm sorry. It won't happen again," Sasi served some of her food onto the man's plate to make him stop bothering her.

The Alpha smiled satisfactorily and ate as if he hadn't tasted food in days. Sasi, on the other hand, had lost her appetite. She didn't understand how this grumpy and arrogant wolf could be her mate (plus, he's so old), Sasi thought as she watched him devour the food.

The said Alpha is 27 years old and 9 years older than Sasi, but for her, it feels like an eternity.

The man stood up and went to bed. Sasi looked at him with a question mark in her mind and placed the furs near the fireplace, then she slept until the next day.

The next day, Sasi woke up early as always and saw that the man was still sleeping. He looked so handsome when he didn't open his mouth that Sasi would be happy if she had a mute mate.
