Tw: panic attacks

Kibas pov

I followed the man known as kankero into the bathroom. It was a small room with only a toilet there. I blinked in surprise. How does three people live in such a tiny place?

He bent down and ran a bath for me. My eyes widened in disbelief as the steam form from the water. He's using hot water on me?

He patted my head with a gentle smile "hop in puppy. I'll bring you some spare clothes" I watched as he left before hopping into the bath. I let out a relaxed sigh as I leaned into the hot water. It's been ages since I had hot water. I'd forgotten what it feels like. Now that everything was calm my mind started flashing through the events that led me here.

*Flashback*

I sat in a cramped room that rocked slowly rocked to and fro. After spending eleven years as a captive I was finally going to be sold. I hugged my knees as the chains that bound me dangled down. A constant reminder that I was a prisoner.

"What torture this is" the man guarding me sighed "I have a pretty young thing right here and I can't do a thing with him"

I stayed silent. After years of getting beaten for saying the wrong things I've stopped speaking out of fear.

He approached me with a condescending smile "do you know what happens when a omega is bought?" I looked up in interest "you'll be property and alphas don't mind mistreating property. You'll be raped, beated, forced to work and bear children for the rest of your pathetic life" My eyes widened in horror. No. That can't be right "now doesn't that sound fun?" He laughed in my face.

Without really thinking I hit him over the head with my chains and made a run for it.

*End of flashback*

I felt my breathing pick up as I pulled at my hair. Mr kankero didn't seem like a bad person but I was still afraid that maybe I'll be treated that way or worse, being sold again.

"Hey are you okay?" I looked up to see Kankero's concerned face. I backed up fearfully as he came closer. I can't breathe. I feel trapped! My panic was cut short by him grabbing my shoulders.

"Shh it's okay puppy" he muttered gently as he rubbed my shoulders "you're safe now. You're safe" at his kind words I burst into tears. Maybe just maybe I can believe those words.
