"Oh, no. This is a message from my family. She asked me to buy something when I came home."
"It's great to be part of your family. Do you help each other like this all the time?"
"Not really. Only occasionally, if necessary. Don't you do the same thing with your family?"
Maretha looked down tiredly. "Of course not! Because my parents rarely come home. Almost every day, I have to do everything alone. I also have to eat alone."
"Are there no Omegas serving you here?"
"I got rid of them all. Only the Betas occasionally come to check on me. Even then, under coercion from my Dad. I always chase them away."
"I didn't think your life was that difficult, Maretha. You must be very lonely in a house this big. Do you have any friends in the Pack? People you can trust and lean on?"
