Chloe's POV
I silently watched the man, who might be the father of the baby in my womb, pass our border. Seeing the departing cars I felt both sad and sorry. Sad because I had a hope that he would recognize me. And sorry because I kept a hope of him in spite of knowing how heartless he was.
I turned around and moved forward on my way away from this pack territory. I reached the little town outside our pack. The air of the town was reeking with the smell of rogues, humans, and low-rank werewolves. But who I was to complain about rogues when I was also a rogue? I walked further into the city in search of a shelter or hotel to stay for a few days.
I was walking through a small empty lane. The air around here was strange. I could feel there was some danger around me but I couldn't find anyone around so I continued walking.
Suddenly, like a gush of wind, someone came running to me. Before I could see his face he snatched my bag and ran away. I tried to follow him but he vanished in a dark corner just like he appeared out of the blue. I fell to the ground helplessly.
"No, no, no Goddess, you can't do this to me, someone please help me," I kept screaming and crying but no one came to help me.
After crying for a long time, I wiped my face with the back of my hand and got up from the ground. It was getting darker and I needed to find a place to stay the night. I lost all my things and the money mom gave me. Now I have no home and no money to buy me food. I felt like crying again but there were no tears left to cry.
While passing a restaurant my stomach grumbled loudly reminding me that I hadn't eaten anything from last night. I covered my belly with my hand, I am not alone anymore. I have to eat something for my baby.
"Don't worry baby, mamma will find a job to buy us some food to eat," I whispered and promised myself to find some work. I can't beg for food or ask for help, it's a humiliation to my pride. No matter in what situation I am in now, I have alpha blood flowing in my veins. I can't be weak; I have to stay strong at least for the sake of my unborn baby.
I once again looked at the shabby restaurant and went inside. A middle-aged man was sitting behind the cash counter. By his smell, I can say he was an omega from some small pack.
"Good evening sir," I greeted him with a smile on my face. He checked me out from top to bottom with curiosity. I checked myself too and saw there was dirt and mud in my faded jeans. My T-shirt also had become dirty because of falling on the ground.
"How may I help you?" he asked with a disinterested face.
"I am looking for a job. Do you need any waitress here?" I asked him in desperation. He thought for a few moments before replying.
"I am in need of a waitress but I am not sure if you are suitable for this job. But I will give you a chance as I need an extra pair of hands here. You can start working for now, after the end of the day I will decide your payment according to your work performance," he said with a boring expression.
"Thank you so much Mr…"
"You can call me Paul and you can have a free meal before starting your shift I don't want my customers to hear the grumbling noises of your stomach," he said handing me an apron and showing me the way to the kitchen.
"Thanks a lot, Paul," I felt embarrassed about my situation and went to the kitchen. I ate a burger and a cup of coffee then put on the apron and went back to the dining area.
"Go and take orders from those gentlemen there," Paul asked me after shoving a pen and a small writing pad in my hand. After nodding to him I turned to the group of men at the far corner of the restaurant.
As I walked closer to them, I inhaled a strong rotten smell coming from them. That only means they are all rogues, banished from their packs for unforgivable sins. Just like me.
"Hello sir, what would you like to order?" I asked them as politely as possible.
"We would like to have you as our dessert," One of them said with a filthy grin. Others started laughing with him. I wanted to yell at him but I suppressed my anger and forcefully smiled at them.
"Please order some food, sir," I asked again gritting my teeth. This time they ordered their food. I could feel them eyeing my body but I ignored the feeling. I noted their order and turned back to inform the kitchen. As soon as I turned back, I felt a slap on my butt and I lost it. How dare he?
I kicked the rogue in his stomach who slapped me. My alpha blood won't let me tolerate any kind of bullying or harassment.
The rogue couldn't hold the impact of my kick and fell to the ground.
"This bitch has some temper, show her who we are," he yelled at his group members and all of them looked at me as if I was a piece of meat for them.
All of them jumped on me, I tried my best to fight back but I was alone and they were five. Even with my alpha blood, I was weak against all of them. On top of that, my pregnancy wouldn't let me fight with them. I can't let my baby get hurt because of these rogues.
In spite of all my protests, they managed to pull me to the ground. Two of them were holding my both hands with the floor and two were holding my legs, restraining me from moving.
"Now let me see what you have under your filthy clothes," said the one rogue whom I had kicked before. He came closer to me and started tearing my T-shirt.
"No, no, no, please don't do this to me. Please let me go. Someone, please help me," I yelled in desperation to save myself from these rogues.
Am I going to get raped by these filthy rogues? Is this the end of my life? Will I die in their hands? I was thinking about every possibility of my life at that moment.
Suddenly someone tore apart that rogue from me and threw him out of the restaurant. At the same time, some other werewolves came rushing and started beating the other four rogues mercilessly. I covered my half-naked body with my hands and pulled myself to a corner of the restaurant to protect myself from curious eyes.
Among the commotion, I heard a familiar voice from one of the werewolves who saved me. I peeked to find the owner of the voice. The voice was from the leader and it happened to be Alpha Tyler. Oh, goddess! I can't let him see me in this condition.
"Are you alright, young lady? Do you need to see a doctor?" Tyler asked me. It seemed like he didn't recognize me. It's not surprising though. Who could think of a young rogue woman, who was almost got raped by a group of maniacs, can be the beautiful alpha he met at a party one month ago?
"I am talking to you, are you feeling okay?" Alpha Tyler asked again this time approaching near me. I hid my face with my hands to avoid facing him. And this increased his curiosity and he came close to me.
"Let me check your injuries," saying this he pulled my hand and our eyes met. My heartbeat increased as I saw his surprised look.
"Chloe! Is this really you? " He was so shocked when he saw my face. Yeah, who wouldn't?
"What was the future female alpha doing here? Don't you know rogues always attack in this part of the city? Why are you looking so different from the Chloe I met that night?" He kept asking questions one after another in shock.
But what will I answer to him? Should I tell him the reason for me being here? Can I trust him?
