Arkham shivered when he picked up the scent of various young omegas at once from all around him. Before he knew it, he was cornered in a hallway by four omega females. Their pheromones were everywhere, heightened by scent enhancers.
They're escorts from the best escort agency in the world, so their scents must be enchanted, while Arkham is a spy, his scent must be blocked. The four omega females, all are younger than 25, crowded the poor butler as he passed by the living room hallway towards his young master's bedroom. He saw Mar and Liam coming back from their little hike, so he wanted to say hi and maybe get some information by talking to them.
However, the four escort omegas were predators, waiting to pounce on their prey. They're all dressed up in different shades of flowy sundress which showed more of their skin than the butler was comfortable with looking at, and all of them are blonde with blue or hazel eyes. If he didn't memorize their profiles, they all look the same to him. Nine out of twelve escorts omega who were invited to the White Pearl Mansion all are blonde omega females with fair skin, ranging from eighteen years old to twenty five years old.
"Hello, darling." The omega female who first approached him put a hand on his chest. The new butler immediately shook his head and took a step backward.
Fuck, he's not getting kicked out because some omegas decided to bully him.
The only reason why all of the staff members working inside the mansion are beta is Mr. Aster doesn't want any of the staff screwing his omegas. Betas can resist omegas and alphas easily, but omegas and alphas have a harder time resisting each other's pheromones. But with enough enhancers, the omegas can overpower a beta, too.
The oldest of the girls was named Regina Schaefer, aged 24, and she's the one who put her hand on him. Her innocent smile didn't fool him, and she knows it. Behind her, there's another omega in her twenties, Alexa Wellan, aged 23. The other two omegas peeking from behind the older omegas are still developing and learning how to control their scents. They're barely eighteen years old, and yet they're here.
"Don't be scared, boy." Regina's cat-like grin widened. "We're only here to talk."
"Don't worry, we won't report you." Alexa's softer voice didn't soften the blow. "If anyone asks, just say we go way back. Right, Arkham?"
"I've never met any of you in my entire life." The new butler sighed. What game are they playing?
"Awe, don't be like this." Regina whined, her plastic smile still plastered on her face. "We just need a favor for our successors."
"Successors?" Arkham frowned. Then, his green eyes landed on the two teen omega females.
Avery Carmen and Olivia Kristen. Both are eighteen years old. Both barely know how to control their scents. Both are wearing clothes too revealing, in Arkham's humble opinion. Both are unlucky enough to be Mr. Aster's type. Both are looking at the new butler with their round blue eyes.
"You see, we're only good until we're twenty five." Alexa got straight to the point. "We need successors in this mansion somehow. You," Her acrylic nails pointed at the butler's face even though he's much taller than her. "Get our girls Avery and Olivia into your young master's room."
"I can't do that without their consent. They must either ask for you or tell me to let you in. The best I can do is place you close to them when they decide to come out of their bedroom again." Arkham didn't back down, and his green eyes glared at each and every one of them. The two teenage omegas probably didn't deserve it, but he did it anyways. "Just because I'm new doesn't mean I don't know the rules."
"They won't know what they like until they get a taste." Regina giggled, more deviously than adorably. "Last year, Young Master Mar brought an omega with him. I don't see her now, so he must've broken up with her. Now, give him someone to mend his heart."
"Young Master William is well known for not touching any omega throughout the years." Alexa clicked her tongue and smiled. "I'm sure he'll like our dear Avery. Her scent is a little different from the rest, but that's what makes her special."
"Look, I can't do this." The butler sighed in defeat. "Let me repeat what I said earlier. The best I can do for you is let them approach Young Master Mar and Liam when they're outside of their room. Most of it isn't even my place to decide."
Regina's smile flattered a little, but her hand moved to hold Olivia's wrist. The older omega pulled the younger omega to stand in front of the new butler. A pair of index fingers pulled down the strap of Olivia's dress, revealing more of her cleavage. The young omega looked so uncomfortable while being undressed like that, and yet she tried her best to smile.
"They have their own services if you do them a favor." Regina murmured as she removed her hands off the younger omega.
Olivia quickly pulled the straps of her dress back up; her face was visible red even when it was buried underneath layers of make up.
"My decision was clear." Arkham didn't dare to lower his voice. His next statement came out louder on purpose, hoping that anyone would interrupt the conversation and save his ass. "I'm not putting these two omegas into my young master's bedroom."
The two older omegas sneered at him, their pheromones becoming hostile.
However, his prayer was answered when footsteps were heard coming into the hallway. A silhouette of a man walked into the hallway, and he made eye contact with Arkham. Honey brown eyes didn't blink one bit as the omega male cleared his throat.
Even though it's summer, the male omega dresses like it's late spring. A pale yellow long sleeve shirt, hanging loosely yet beautifully on his shoulders and tucked into his brown trousers which framed his narrow waist and exaggerated his hips. His dark brown hair was nearly pulled back, probably with some help from a hair gel, and he wore no make up except for the shinny gloss on his heart shaped lips.
This man is the walking definition of elegance, so the new butler was surprised none of the Aster Children wants to court this omega male.
"Please don't crowd the hallway." Young Master Tian Jun Devin came to save Arkham's day.
