ADELINE
"I am Lola," The girl says shyly.
I feel surprised. With the current circumstances, I did not think anyone would take the initiative to talk to me.
"Don't worry about them," Lola whispers softly as she pulls me to a corner, "They are just jealous of you," she points at the people who are giving me scornful stares.
"Jealous of me?" I doubt I am left with anything they should be jealous of.
"Of course," Lola nods sincerely, "You are beautiful, graceful and everyone knows your past relationship with the Alpha. They are jealous because they cannot have it."
I smile, despite myself.
Lola familiarizes me with the things around the Omega quarters and the work that they… we are assigned to do.
After talking to her, I return to my room and lie down on the small bed.
Perhaps the exhaustion of days finally manages to catch up. Before I realize, I start drifting off to sleep.
Yet—What awaits me is not a peaceful sleep.
