"We will talk in my study". Alpha Draven replied and walked past her into the pack house. His beta watched in surprise at the figure the Alpha carried into the building.
Everyone present could tell something was about to change and they had no idea if it would be a good or bad change.
Alpha Draven carried the sleeping omega to his chamber and gently eased him onto the bed.
The Omega realised the change and stretched out on the bed which made the Alpha smile subconsciously.
He left the room quietly but ordered two maids to look after the Omega.
"Once he wakes, help him clean up. Don't startle him and report to me if anything happens".
"Yes alpha". The two maids chorused with their heads slightly bowed as the Alpha left the room. They both look at the scrawny figure on the bed with curiosity.
It was the first time they would witness their Alpha bring an Omega into his chamber, it has never happened before and they were very surprised but also curious about the identity of the Omega.
Alpha Draven got into his study where the Seer was waiting for him. He ran a hand through his hair, he was having a bad feeling with the way she had reacted when they arrived.
"If whatever you have to say is bad I don't want to hear it". Alpha Draven said as he settled behind his desk and looked pointedly at her.
"You can not refuse to hear from me Alpha, whatever I want to say to you is important and it's concerning your mate". She countered and looked back without backing down.
It had also been like that convincing the Alpha to make that journey to find his mate again. She had spent days persuading him to go before he had agreed to go.
"Can we talk when it's morning?" The Alpha patronized. He knew he was powerless against whatever she was about to say, he could avoid it for a while not forever.
"Why-
A knock sounded on the door interrupting them. Alpha Draven invited the person in.
One of the maids he had asked to look after the Omega walked with her face turned down.
"Alpha, he has woken up but-
Alpha Draven didn't wait for her to complete what she was there to say, when he stood up and walked out in large strides, his boot making a crunching sound on the floor as he walked swiftly away.
The Seer watched him with a sad shake of her head and a sigh escaped her lips.
Alpha Draven opened the door to the room he had left the Omega and paused after shutting the door, his eyes went to the omega seated at the corner on the floor with the covers around him and the maid close to the bed with a defeated look on her face.
"He would not let us come closer and kept moving away anytime we got closer to him" The maid explained.
"You can leave".
The maid immediately left the room with a sigh of relief, she had no idea how to approach the Omega that seemed to be startled by her appearance and she feared getting the Alpha angry.
Once the maid left, only the Alpha and the Omega were left in the room staring at each other like a hunter and his prey.
The Alpha silently assessed his appearance from the white hair to the extremely thin legs that stuck out of the bed covers.
"Would you like to clean up?" The Alpha asked and the Omega looked at him blankly without blinking or looking away, almost as if he could not hear anything he had said.
Alpha Draven let out a sigh and ran a hand over his face in weariness. He had no idea on how to approach the scared omega, and he has no idea what he has gone through for him to be this guarded against. It was almost as if he wasn't the same one that willingly stayed in his arms through the entire ride back here.
"You need to bathe, eat and let a doctor take a look at your wounds. I can't do anything to help if you won't stop running away from people". The Alpha said in frustration, his voice growing a little hard.
He watched as the Omega looked like he shrank further into the wall as if wanting to melt into the solid wall.
The Alpha gave up and stood up. He walked out of the room to the adjoining room.
Seeing that he had been left alone, the omega rose from where he was seated and limped towards the bed.
He peeled the covers away from his skin and noticed the patches of blood stains from the wounds on his back and immediately felt bad for staining the covers.
When the Alpha returned after getting his emotions in check, he met the omega laying on his side on the ground and snoring softly.
He approached him carefully, worried that he might wake him up and he would back up against the wall again. The omega didn't stir awake as he got closer and he crouched down to get a closer look at him.
His hand folded into a fist as he got a closer look at him, bones almost sticking out of his skin without any body fat in sight. Old and new wounds on his back as if he had been whipped with something sharp, the smell of the wounds and blood had covered his scent which he could only faintly detect.
The Omega's eyes opened suddenly and he looked up at the Alpha, he froze without moving waiting for something to happen instead of what he expected the Alpha tucked a strand of hair away from his face which surprised him.
"Would you like to eat?" The Alpha asked and at the mention of food his eyes widened in excitement.
He nodded eagerly and sat up.
The Alpha ordered the maids to make light food for him, rice soup, meat broth and some pancakes.
He watched with a painful look on his face as the omega ate everything in a rush like he hadn't eaten in months, which wasn't far from the truth because it was obvious he wasn't fed at DarkMoon pack.
He ate everything within minutes as if someone would take everything from him or hit him for eating.
When he was done, he looked at the Alpha shyly from where he was seated watching him devour the food.
He dropped the empty tray on the floor and looked away from the Alpha.
"Now would you like to bathe?" The Alpha tried again and he looked at the Alpha for a long time before slowly nodding.
