Erie's POV:
I feel betrayed. Still, I can't get mad at him. I only hate myself. If I'm only an alpha then none of this would've happened. What is Draco talking about? What is the mating thing he said? Am I only made for that purpose. I don't understand. After that day I cried and cried. I wouldn't get out of my room no matter what the guards and scientists say. Even Corrin can't get me out of the room.
I felt my tired eyes open as I scanned my dark room. It was gloomy like the cell I lived before. I hope this nightmare ends I don't want to wake up anymore. A click sound reached my ears as I peek with my left eye. Faking sleep to whoever it was coming in again. I shut my eyes as soon as the mystery person comes inside my room. The tap of heels resonated throughout the walls. The figure stopped in front of me and breathed heavily. He must've been pissed with my new attitude. "Erie if you don't come out of your room. With or without father's orders I'll rape you." A deep, menacing threat came from you-know-who.
Chills run down my spine upon hearing his voice. A small whimper left my mouth as my omega cowered in fear. Instinctively, I jumped out of bed and made my way to the corner. As much as I want to defy him, I can't because of my Omega trait. Watching him as he inches more towards me. "I really like you when you are shaking in fear. You really look cute. Might as well give you some small pains if Father agreed to my proposal." He snickered.
"W-what d-do you w-want?" I stammered. "As much as I want to take you here because of the nice bed I wouldn't, Father needs you now today. He says he's assigning you to that project. Rachel had been sick for a few days now so he wants you to take charge. Isn't it nice? He's trusting you with something?" Draco said. My hopes rocketed as soon as I heard the news. As if nothing happened yesterday. I became cheerful again. I ran to my closet getting a white shirt, a lab coat and a formal slack. I was getting undressed when I heard a whistle. Yes, I totally forgot about him.
"My my my.... Aren't you so persistent Erie?" He snickered as he stated one of his infamous innuendos. Showing his canine along with that foolish grin of his. "Can't you see I'm getting dressed can you go outside?" I sternly told him. "OK I won't look so go ahead with what your doing. You need to do it fast though, because I kinda get bored easily. I might peek if you didn't hurry." He said mockingly. 'Damn, why is he so annoying.' "Fine!!!" I grumbled.
I turned my back at him and started to undress again. Although he said he won't peek I can feel his lascivious stares from behind. I quickly put everything as fast as I could. Then turned again to face him. "Let's go." I said.
"Okay captain. Aye, aye we go." he said very loud. He's like a child sometimes, but a pervert the most.
We reached father's room at the third floor. It's a forbidden floor to me too. Draco entered first before me. It was a big office with casual furniture, book shelves, cabinets, and in the center a table full of papers and other documents, in front of it is a navy blue couch. Behind that table was a big rotating chair, its back turned on us. The wallpapers are dark red and the floor has metallic blue paint.
"You may leave now Draco. I don't have any business with you." A raspy voice came from the chair. "OK." He saluted before going out, but before that he gave me a provocative look. 'Disgusting' "Erie....." he started. My body tensed at the sound of my name being called.
"I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. Draco is in the state of maturity and he needs a proper intake of blood or he will go on a rampage turning into a ferocious beast. Your blood is far more precious than any bloods out there for its uniqueness. Now I told you before that I'm planning you to be assigned into that project. Am I right?" he asked. It was very unusual for Father asking me questions and to say he's sorry was never heard before.
"Yes, sir." I replied.
"As you can see, one of our fellow employees can't handle the job so I'm assigning you to the project. All you need to do is feed a certain person. If he asks you for anything or begged you to give him, do not ever listen to him. Also, you are not allowed to touch him or come near to him. Keep a distance of 3 meters away as always. If he talks to you, I want you to record every detail of his behavior, speeches, or whatever he does. One more thing, do not take off his collar. Strictly follow the rules and we will be safe. Do you understand Erie?" He said. Strictness lingers his dominating voice. "Yes, sir." I said meekly.
"You should also act more feminine as I want you to be Draco's mate. You are the perfect candidate for bearing an heir and a strong child." He added. I mumble a 'yes' before looking down the floor. "You are dismissed. Wait for my further instructions." He said before turning his back on me.
I got out of his room and proceeded to mine. Yes, he trusts me, but still he was only after that thing inside my blood.
Upon walking through the hallways of the facility, I bumped into Corrin. I lost balance and almost drop to the floor. However, she caught me and helped me back up again. 'What a strong Beta. I wish I'm a Beta too.' I sadly let out a sigh.
"Hi Erie. Are you alright?" her voice sounded worried. I know she is sad about what happened the other day. "Yes Corrin, I'm fine." I said weakly. She pulled me close to her and give me a bear crushing hug. I cried in her arms as she petted my head, stroking my fluffy curly hair afterwards.
"I'm so sorry Erie. If only I could do something about it." She was also crying. Her sniffling was much louder than mine. I snuggled close to her.
When I felt I already let out all my sadness, I looked at her. She was still crying and much worse than mine. She's like a little child that lost her candy. "I'm fine now Mommy Corrin. Stop crying or I will cry again." I mumbled between hiccups. She likes it when I call her 'Mom' or 'Mommy'. She wiped her tears with the hem of her lab coat.
Then she grabbed my hand and rushed to wherever she's taking me. When we reached 'MY ROOM', she ushered me inside. She locked the door and looked at me with determination in her eyes.
"What did he tell you?" she asked suddenly. "About the project and the rules. He said I'm starting tomorrow I guess." I plainly said.
"Listen do not get close to the subject even if he told you stay a distance of 3 meters. It's not yet proven if he could reach you or not. Remember Rachel? She was the last caretaker and she was killed instantly. She only lasted 1 week before she got killed mysteriously. Whatever secrets she holds, someone didn't want them to unfold. So be careful around him. They say he's telepathic and have psychic powers. He wouldn't be a king for nothing...." I cut her off.
"What are you talking about? What king and who? Why did father assigned me if my life is at stake." I bombard her with questions after questions.
"Shhhh!!! Just listen, okay. It's one of his experiments again. He's testing you with something and I don't know what. It seems the king is getting weaker. It would be a catastrophe if we let him die. We will be cursed for all eternity. He's the one who had given our curse, only he could take it back. We need to get the data needed to reverse it somehow, but the king was really stubborn." She explained. I just stood there not knowing what to do. "Please be safe Erie," She hugged me tightly once again.
"So as I was saying, never come close to him even with the given distance. It would be safe if you keep 7-meters distance. Don't worry they wouldn't know. The cameras somehow are not working in this room. Also, do not tell anyone of this information because we might get into trouble. I have to go they might suspect me." She then quickly takes off. Leaving me dumbfounded. "Who exactly am I supposed to follow?" I uttered to myself.
