GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



The Alpha watched Legion-6 go silently. She waited for them to leave her sight then she said to her squad, "Leno and Piar. You two should trail after them and watch them secretly. Don't show yourself unless you have to help. Protect them and kill the boy if he does something suspicious."

Leno and Piar bowed. "Yes, Tesrat. We will do as you say."

The two of them didn't question why their Alpha is sending four Warriors to watch and escort a weak Omega to the park. That is a lot of manpower to waste on a single harmless person. She ordered them and they simply obeyed. They left immediately.

Tesrat nodded. The first two Betas that she chose to take the white young Omega to the pack are the strongest after her. They are more than able to contain him if he decides to escape. The other two are precautions in case she has underestimated him.

She is clearly overreacting. Just one of her squad mates can subdue the young Omega. But it is hard not to overreact to anything that comes out from the Underdark. If Legion-6 is an Omega then he won't try to escape. Everything should be alright if he really is what he claims to be. 

She can't tell if he is truly an Omega or an Alpha in disguise. That's why she feels she must be extra cautious. She can't tell what he is but her pack leader will be able to. So he must meet their park leader at all costs. She doesn't mind sending four Warriors to make sure of it. If he is an Alpha then he will be in a lot of trouble.

She thought to herself. "He is young so the pack leader should be lenient with him even if he is an Alpha. I will get credit either way." 

Then she returned to standing guard.

In her opinion, Legion-6 is very young so he will be treated kindly if he is an Alpha. He will be treated even better as long as he has not been inducted into the hierarchy of another pack. The pack leader will welcome him with open arms in that case. It will just require a show of force or the use of physical violence to compel him. 

Everything will be alright if he is an Omega as he said. Either way, she will get credit for bringing new blood to the pack and strengthening the pack. They just went through a bloody battle so more strength is needed. So she has something to gain either way by inviting him to the park.

Still, she didn't let the reward that she might get cloud her judgment. She made sure to take precautions so that she won't be punished too much if this goes badly. She is a warrior and an Alpha. She didn't reach where she is today by being foolish and easily deceived. Life as a Warrog is very harsh, brawns are not the only requirement to survive. Caution is a very important quality to have as a leader. The severe punishments from the pack leader have taught her that lesson.

Back To Legion-6

Legion-6 was flanked by two Betas. They are stronger than him so he kept his guard up. He acted nonchalantly but he is wary of them. His situation is not optimal. He is not in control at all. That means someone can subject him to their whims so he is not happy. He is wary because he doesn't trust them at all. 

Being among stronger entities that might become hostile doesn't make him servile or make him give up. It does the opposite. His will to resist is prepared and ready despite being outmatched. He is alert more than ever before.

He doesn't plan to escape but that doesn't mean that violence still won't be visited on him. Everything seemed to have worked out with his encounter with the Alpha but that's what it seems like. He is not sure if everything is really alright. She said he is to be taken to a pack leader but who is to say that they are not kidnapping him for nefarious purposes? 

He said he is an Omega and they should respect that so they shouldn't be violent with him but that's just the rules of culture. Rules and laws are meant to be broken. Rules bind the weak and subservient but the strong are above rules. These Warrogs are strong so they can choose to disregard the rules and kill him. 

He should expect violence. That's according to the little knowledge he has about Warrogs. The Warrogs that he knows are incredibly violent. So it is just good thinking to prepare to fight. He is not entirely hopeless. He will make them regret fighting him even if he dies. It is the least that he can do.

"It must have been tough on you to brave the wild at such a young age." The Beta by his right said.

"Yeah. You even got lost in the Underdark and survived." The other one by his left said to him.

He nodded and agreed with them. "I am a very lucky Omega."

Then he thought to himself. "They are as disciplined as I learned. This is good for me."

The Betas did not talk at all since the time they met him. Only their Alpha and he spoke. That's because their Alpha hadn't permitted them to speak. The hierarchy in their society is very strict. That's what happens when there are paragons in a society. 

Squads are led by Alphas and numerous squads come together to form a pack that is led by the pack leader. The orders of their superiors are laws so the Betas didn't speak despite the fact that squads are very close to each other. They waited until they left the vicinity of their Alpha before they spoke to him.

It is a good thing for him because it shows that they still follow some of the rules that he knows of. So he will not be entirely clueless about his current situation and he can seek refuge with the rules.
