Elena's POV
With so many people watching my sufferings, rumors quickly spread throughout the estate, and the whole estate was talking about me seducing Mr. Leonardo.
Since I was a little girl, I had faced ridicule and abuse from others, and I was often beaten, and before I was beaten or scolded, they always found a strange reason, no matter how absurd. I could argue with one person, but when there were more people, no one would believe me if I said I didn't do these things. My mother was a traitor, so naturally I can't be a good person either.
Since I was a child, everyone thought so, even if I never stole a snack from the kitchen or washed my clothes.
But no one cared what kind of person I really was, as if because my mother was a traitor, I must also be something lowly.
And yes, an Omega without a wolf, what else could I be except able to be the tool that Alpha vented his sexual desires?
I walked slowly out of the rose garden, knowing that everything today would only make my life worse, I felt those sharp thorns cutting through my bare skin, but I knew very well that nothing more terrible than today would ever happen in this world.
I felt a little bit sad, which was not because of my powerlessness against fate, but also because I must admit that the one contact I had with Mr. Leonardo before this was just a little mercy he threw at me, and had nothing at all to do with his nature.
Naturally I could not go to school again, I just wanted to get dressed now, and I was very grateful to Miss Anna, who even came after me to lend me her coat again.
But no, I knelt in the garden for so long, the word had been spread, and Mr. Leonardo had given the order, and his beautiful eyes looked at me with disgust, with enough contempt and hatred in them to tear me apart, and my situation afterwards could be worse than now, and even if I returned her clothes, I might be treated as a thief by others.
It looked like Anna had something to say, but in the end, she didn't say anything. I thought that what stopped her from saying anything was probably upbringing.
"Where do you live? I'll take you back." She was silent for a moment and whispered to me.
She was beautiful, and there was a kind of nobility on her face, which is characteristic of an Alpha, and even pitying others seemed to be their privilege.
This nobility stung me, and I was in no position to express my disgust, I just wanted to instinctively refuse.
"Thank you for your kindness, but no, I live in the high tower attic on the west side of the manor, where not many people go and I'm afraid to get your clothes and shoes dirty." I also explained softly that she had released some kindness to me anyway, and I would try to speak nicely so that she would not misunderstand.
She nodded and hesitantly said, "It's too cold, you can wear my jacket, as for the Luna, she won't do anything to you."
I shook my head, "No need, you heard Mr. Leonardo's order just now, not to mention wearing your jacket, I can't explain it even more. But please believe that I really don't have any thoughts of seducing Mr. Leonardo."
She looked at me from top to toe and gave a reassuring smile, "Okay."
I let out a mental sigh.
She wasn't convinced.
I couldn't explain any further. Yeah, no one could explain the action of showering in the Omega Lounge early in the morning. The Omega Lounge was supposed to be empty, but there was suddenly an Omega in the shower, who happened to be pressed right underneath Mr. Leonardo's body, even naked?
I wanted to repay her for this bit of casual kindness, but was only misunderstood by the one who treated me politely.
Unfortunately, casual kindness was just casual kindness after all, and pity is just a random toy thrown by the higher power for the weaker one.
It sounded so dramatic that whoever heard it would say that this Omega was definitely doing it on purpose.
I went back to the kitchen to continue washing dishes, thankfully, it was already after breakfast time, the kitchen was not so many people, two or three people's blank stares were better than a group of people's blank stares.
I started washing dishes while enduring the pain of my wounds, and at the same time, I had to be careful that the bath towel did not slip off my body.
It was ridiculous, but I knew the towel wouldn't cover anything. A male servant had just gone out to call his companion, and his nasty eyes scanned my entire body.
A fire flared up in me, if he was going to force me to do anything, I would definitely die with him!
With this thought, my mood began to sink again, and the sadness that followed the annoyance and pain enveloped me.
Fate is so unfair, Mr. Leonardo had got a face that made people fall in love, such a bad temper, and a perfect family and strong ability, he seemed to be born excellent and deserves the whole world.
But what about me? Was I born with a miserable fate? How unjust is fate, even just thinking of fighting against the unjust fate had exhausted me.
I felt so exhausted and breathless.
Amanda's two daughters got the news and came to the kitchen to humiliate me. I survived the whole day, washing the last bowl with wounds on my body and hunger in my stomach.
Amanda, the cook, came last. She looked so aggressive that I subconsciously clung to the wall, which was my instinctive reaction.
"You made such a mess today, but Luna didn't drag you out and burn you to death, how dare you just wash a few dishes until now?"
She sounded furious and pulled me by the hair and pushed me to the floor, the wound scraping hard on the carpet, the rough hairs of those carpets scraping across my wound and making me subconsciously want to scream.
I held back the pain trying to avoid her beating, so sad, I avoided it not because I was afraid of the pain, but because I was afraid that my clothes would whip out and I would have no clothes to go out.
She seemed to be doing it for all to see, and gradually many servants came around to watch. My neck and arms hurt as if they were on fire, and I knew that they had been drawn through.
I was ordered to continue working, cold water invaded my wounds, I bit my lip hard, in front of so many people watching. If I cried, it would cause them to laugh and talk more playfully.
These humiliations were experienced when I was a child, and I didn't understand why these adults were trying to take away my things and bully me in every possible way, so I would start crying, but the more I cried, the more excited they teased. Over time, I became less of a crybaby.
I didn't know if I should be happy that I escaped today, or if I should be sad that I didn't die and forget about it.
I desperately wanted to get out of here, and in order to do so, I didn't dare to make any mistakes, didn't dare to talk back to anyone, all in the hope of getting a chance to get out after Mr. Leonardo's wedding. But with just a simple guideline from the Moon Goddess, I was forced to change the routine of my life.
I was angry, resentful, and didn't dare to relax one bit.
I thought there must be a mistake in the Moon Goddess's guidance, how could I be mated to Mr. Leonardo? Maybe she thought something should happen to me with Mr. Leonardo, maybe I could indeed assist him and stabilize him with pheromones, without anyone caring about my opinion.
He was the prince of the heavens, I was told he had the purest bloodline and the toughest hands of any Alpha of his generation, that he was unbeatable in his kind at the age of twelve, and that he was the only heir in the entire pack.
Luna only had this one child.
What could all this have to do with me? What have I done wrong? I had lived my life very carefully, why did Luna have to play such a trick on me?
I sighed deeply, but there were so many people here that I had to be very careful even to breathe.
I didn't know how long I had worked, during which I didn't eat anything. Amanda naturally forbade me to eat, and till I finished the work, it was dark, I couldn't control thinking about school and homework.
In the afternoon, Cary, the gardener, came by and harassed me from time to time. I used to pull my legs out and run, but now I didn't dare to leave the kitchen at all. He laughed loudly at me in front of everyone, calling me a slut who seduced Mr. Leonardo.
I didn't dare to speak, but I knew very well that he wasn't insulting me for seducing Mr. Leonardo, he thought I was ungrateful and why I didn't accept his harassment since I could seduce a man.
My blood went from boiling to cold, and for the first time I felt it was so hard to live.
I worked until the kitchen lights were off and I was able to return to the kitchen, but Amanda's two daughters followed me left and right, still humiliating me after following me back to the attic.
I knew that they liked Mr. Leonardo, and they didn't dare to insult the noble ladies who often came to the estate to see Mr. Leonardo, but they could insult me with impunity.
I was so numb that I didn't hear anything they said, and I had to endure ten more painful things than this a day.
Even though I was beaten, the wounds were dense and painful again, I could only slowly inhale and endure, I was in pain, this sweeping pain made me arch my back hard, my shoulders still shaking uncontrollably.
I sat on the edge of the bed in silence, gripping the worn sheets hard, and this venting made me feel better. I didn't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard someone talking in the closet!
I looked up and found it unbelievable as it was actually Mr. Leonardo who appeared in front of me!
Why was he here?
The attic was very short, he could only slightly lower his head here, he was wearing a silk shirt, probably because his body was very strong, so he did not care about this cold weather. He was much taller than me, when gazing at me, he needed to lower his head, I did not need to distinguish to read the deep disgust in his eyes for me, which even made his brow tightly frown.
My whole body was frozen, and I didn't hear what he said at all.
But I had to admit that he seemed to be glowing in such dimness, whether it was his beautiful hair or his eyes, or his expensive jewel-encrusted dagger, which made his whole being seem to carry the characteristic luster of moonlight.
After a while, by the time I reacted, he had fallen to the ground in pain.
I subconsciously wanted to scream, but I immediately thought, if I had attracted someone again, it would be my fault again, then it would be ironclad evidence that I did seduce Mr. Leonardo, which I had no possibility to refute!
I had to cover my mouth to control myself from screaming when I lost control, while stumbling to help Mr. Leonardo.
Oh my God, he must not get hurt in the attic, or I really didn't know how to explain!
Such a thing befell my head, it was like another joke played by fate and me. I obviously had no interest in Mr. Leonardo from the beginning to the end, and never wanted to have anything to do with him, but he always appeared in my life in such a strange way.
He looked in great pain, as his whole fingertips were rubbing hard on the floor, and his back was tightly arched as if he was suffering from a pain that broke his bones and reshaped them.
He moaned in a low voice, and listened carefully as if it were a beast's howl, not a human voice.
But he also did not bestialize, for he remained in human form; his face was flushed with an unnatural red, and even his pupils turned a sharp and brilliant gold, as if a blade was reflecting and penetrating a fearful brightness.
He was in pain and struggling with his hands around his neck, but probably because his body was feverish, he tore his shirt, revealing strong, powerful muscles and an old scar on the small of his back.
Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
If Mr. Leonardo died, would I still be guided by the Moon Goddess?
The thought flashed for just a moment, and my blood ran cold, and I was terrified by the thought! I desperately tried to bring myself back to my senses quickly, never allowing myself to have such a thought.
I didn't dare to touch him, and all I could do was keep asking him, "Are you okay, Mr. Leonardo? Do I need to call a doctor for you?"
The next second, he suddenly stood up and picked me up along with him!
He reached out with one hand to cover my mouth and pinned my entire body down on the bed!
My brain went blank, oh my god, was it... was he in rutting period?
