Chapter 31: Plan In Motion (4)
It hadn’t been half an hour after the spectacle Reana had made of Beta Ryan when the gossip began to churn out whispers and speculation. The atmosphere in the pack was electric with tension, and it seemed that everyone had an opinion on what had really happened. But the pack’s PhD gossip mongers hadn’t given their cent yet. Rather, they stuck together, analyzing and compiling their rumor that would undoubtedly be thrown in the air before tomorrow.
"What are you asking me for? I’m just a servant like you. No, a dog under Beta Ryan’s foot like he said we were." Mirian said, her voice laced with bitterness.
The girl had her own problems to deal with, but an opportunity to hint at her suspicion - her plan to open the Luna’s eyes to Beta Ryan’s deceit had presented itself and she couldn’t resist taking advantage of this mess the Luna had created.
"Come on, Mirian, you’re the closest to the Luna. Tell us what you know." One of the girls leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper, as the others nodded in encouragement.
But Mirian scoffed, unwilling to comment on the Luna and Ryder’s relationship.
"Blair, forget about that for now. I’m so furious right now." Another girl fumed, "The nerve for the beta to call us dogs just because we’re omegas. We didn’t choose to be born omegas." Her voice trembled, and for a moment, it seemed like she was on the verge of tears.
"What’s wrong with being an omega?" Blair asked, her voice thick with indignation. "We wash their clothes, cook their food, dress their bed, warm their beds, and do everything for them. If not because of us, the pack won’t be in order."
She wasn’t done. "They protect the pack from enemies and we make sure the pack runs smoothly. We’re the backbone of this pack, yet, the beta had the audacity to call us dogs?"
"I know right? Even Luna Reana wouldn’t call us dogs. The former Alphas didn’t treat us like this. They valued our contributions to the pack. But Beta Ryan, who hasn’t even become the Alpha yet, thinks we don’t deserve to exist."
