Chapter V

The Omegas didn't have a shower in their bunk house. It was really just one large room, with several mattresses, they each had a bit of space to keep their clothes and shoes, and there was a bathroom with a sink. But no tub or shower. Basically, they had to use the sink to get themselves clean, unless they had time in the evenings after dinner or in the mornings before they began their day, to go to the lake for a swim.

Omega Five crawled her way to the bathroom in the bunk house, and tried to rinse her scarred back. Omega four was in the bunk house at the time, and was able to assist a little, before they both had to return to the pack house for their afternoon duties.

Life for Five continued like that for weeks. Most of the time, she was able to control herself, but every now, and then she would stand up to someone, typically on the behalf of one of the smaller Omegas, and then she would receive her lashes with silver.

They were all so dehumanized over time that they only ever spoke to each other using their numbers and even then, they spoke very little. If they were overheard using real names, they were beaten. And most of the time, even just a conversation could get you smacked by a pack member who didn't want to hear your voice.

They were all fitted with wolf's bane arm bands that prevented them from shifting. She still had her wolf senses, like the heightened sense of smell and moderate healing properties, but not being able to shift and exercise her wolf was in itself a form of torture.

After the first few days, she could barely even feel her wolf inside. Omega five had been there about two year and a half, trying to keep her head down and do what she was told, when the nightmares began. Her heart was racing, and beads of sweat were collecting on her brow, she clutched her chest, gasping for breath, trying to calm down. She'd had another nightmare, remembering the home she had to flee, the home where she had been safe until the Rogue's came.

Where she had lived happily, until her family had been killed. She laid her head back down onto the hard mattress, if it could even be called that. She didn't close her eyes, because she was afraid of the nightmares that would without a doubt return.

But that didn't stop her mind from returning to those days, and remembering what had happened, and how she had ended up in her current miserable situation. She remembered being happy, with a mother and father who adored her. Her father was the Alpha of the Silver Valley Pack, her mother was his kind and effective Luna.

The Silver Valley Pack was small, but it had been growing powerful and becoming stronger by the day, under her father's strong leadership. But all of that was in the past, and she had run, like a coward. Everyone was gone, and she had been alone here, with the BloodLust Pack, working as an Omega slave, but the nightmares were new.

She had been having them pretty consistently for about two weeks now, and she didn't know why. They weren't like the bad dreams she'd had when she first arrived.
