Julia sat quietly by the large window of her room, her hands folded neatly on her lap as she gazed outside. From where she sat, she could see almost the entire courtyard of the Alpha's residence. Warriors walked confidently along the stone paths after finishing their morning patrols. A group of pups chased one another through the grass, their laughter carrying through the open window. Nearby, several Omegas tended to the flower beds while chatting happily among themselves. Some warriors even stopped to help them move heavy baskets before continuing on their way. No one barked orders. No one shouted insults. No one looked down on the Omegas. Everyone simply... worked together. Julia rested her forehead lightly against the cool glass. A strange feeling settled deep inside her chest. Peace
