Selene's POV~
The next morning, Sara and I were put to work like the rest of the omegas. The head maid had already barked her orders before sunrise, and soon we were scrubbing, sweeping, and carrying things from one corner of the quarters to the other.
It didn't take long for whispers to surround us. Omegas always talked while they worked, and every word carried fast through the halls.
But none of it was good.
They gossiped about punishments, about who had displeased which wolf, about how strict the alphas were becoming. The pack was restless...
Sara tried to ignore it, but I kept my ears sharp. Every little piece of information mattered.
Later, when our chores eased, Sara and I walked through the narrow paths of the quarters, pretending to explore but really listening. That was when it happened.
Two young omega girls were huddled near the laundry lines, their heads bent close together. Their voices were low, but I caught every word.
