" Alright, Enough!" Shaziya announced from the dais, " I see, the batch this year is unruly and frivolous. Anyway, dear newcomers, let's continue with our little chit chat. So, everyone, you need to understand that this event will give you opportunity to make your household proud. All of you are beautiful and alluring omegas. Also, all of you are bounded to your respective mates and carry the dignity of your family, pack and clan on your shoulders. Every year the Royale university celebrates it's foundation day and hosts the most important peoples as guests. When you participate in the various activities, you will flaunt your beauty in front of those dignitaries. In return, you will improve your households reputation. So, get this straight, performing at Royale university's foundation day is once in a lifetime opportunity." Shaziya paused and called for one of her colleagues. They started discussing something. Meanwhile, all the omegas in the hall started whispering and murmuring to each other.
" Oh my gawd..it's here. I have been waiting for this day. My mother in law has been driving me crazy by making me practice everyday."
" Yeah…my bounded alpha has also been going on and on about how this was a great opportunity. You know, we can tempt some businessmen into signing a contract with our household or bring in a deal for partnership. He is ten years older than me. So he always pushes me to participate. Ha Ha Ha…he always says I am too gorgeous."
" Oh. That is nothing. My alpha has called for a dance instructor for me four months ago to prepare beforehand. He cares for me so much…"
The omegas went on and on and on with their blabbering. Soon, Shaziya spoke once again, " So, dear newcomers, look around you. How many omegas do you see? More than a thousand? Right? So you see, the number of individual is high and number of performances are low. So, you have to compete against each other to grab this golden opportunity."
" The senior year omegas are not here. They will performing with us too, right?" A little omega guy standing in the front row questioned in a cute and coy manner. As soon as he spoke, every one looked at him. He, however, turned red with blush and hung his head down.
" Oh no. They performed last year. Who would watch those old bags, now that the fresh ones have arrived" Shazia 0chuckled. Then she continued, " The first round will be physical examination."
" What? What kind of physical examination?" Another omega female with glasses asked.
" Curious. Aren't you? Well we would examine your face and figure,and only the pretty ones will be allowed to perform. We don't need ugly people on the stage representing omegas of our college. If you are ugly, you are out. Natalie and Sasha, check them up." Shaziya ordered her classmates and sat back in the chair. " So arduous." She sighed.
Soon, the two senior omegas started filtering the human beings as if they were some products. They excluded people with glasses, people with asymmetrical face, people with chubby figure and people with scars or marks. Alan and Rui were also inspected. Natalie pushed Rui in and Alan out. Alan was shocked.
" Are you kidding me! You are saying I am not pretty enough for you?" Alan was embarrassed. He used to think of himself as a wild stallion. But now he was being flicked away like a fly. " Are you telling me, I don't look as good as that beluga whale?" Alan pointed at Rui.
Rui knew very well that he was still mad from before. So, she said nothing and raised two middle finger towards him.
" No. It's not like that. You are good looking but you are mentally unfit to participate in the event. Plus, you smell really bad. What a waste of such remarkable face." Natalie explained to Alan and then moved to the next omega.
Rui who saw it all and heard it all, broke into laughter. She could help but hold her stomach and laugh until her tears came out. " Oh my god. You are mentally 'unfit'. Oh the glorious Alan Tuan. How low have you fallen…"
Alan was humiliated. He had nothing to say. He just wanted to dig a hole and bury himself. " Anyway. Who cares! I never wanted to participate in the first place." Alan grabbed his backpack. " I will wait for you at the coffee house. Bye Bye." He walked out of the hall with some very horrible memories.
Just like Alan, all the rejected candidates were ordered to leave the hall. Only a few hundreds were left behind. The rejected omegas were crying and bawling their eyes out. Each one of them was bounded to a household. They wanted to perform at the ceremony to become more useful to their households. The only thing they were taught since they were kids was to act delicately. To sit and stand with elegance, to talk with politeness, to be humble towards alphas, to cook and excel in household work, to dance and sing, to play music and to practice art. It was their destiny and their forte, to become show doll for the alphas. All they had to do was perform on that stage and let everyone see how capable they were. However, all that practice went down the drain, just because of the looks. How could they have changed how they look? Was that even necessary? Isn't it enough to have a good voice or a talent that is admirable? What now? Should they change their looks by plastic surgery too? What exactly will it take for them to see how hardworking they are?
With all these questions and tears falling from their eyes, the 'rejected' people left the hall. But our dear Alan wasn't like the others. He was pretty much relieved that he doesn't have to participate in that omega shit. He bought himself an icecream to celebrate his freedom. Being a savage is just awesome. You are not an alpha or beta or omega. You are just a savage. That spells as, you get to be what you want to be.
He was walking down the stairs when he saw a familiar person walking down too. For the first time, he felt like talking to this person. He was too happy and in his momentarily happiness, he shouted out, " Hey Mark, where are you going?"
Mark turned around and saw this sight- Alan was wearing a white shirt with blue ripped jeans. The neck of the shirt was unbuttoned. So, with the backpack hanging in the one shoulder, the shirt slid down along with the backpack strap. A glowing white skin showed itself from underneath. It was free from tan, mainly because the fact that Alan always wore full sleeves. The collarbone was like a ridge separating two oceans. So sharp, yet so beautiful. On the end of the collarbone was a little black mole peeking at the outside world. It was all set to create chaos. On the other hand, Alan's face a whole another mess. The chocolate from the icecream was embracing the plump peachy lips. And a little of it was naughtily making a dot on Alan's nose. In conclusion, Alan's face was looking comical while his torso was seductively alluring.
Mark gasped. What is happening? Alan is talking to him…voluntarily? No way…no way that it's real. Mark looked at the sky and murmured, " God please give me the power to resist this vicious temptation. Please bless your sweet handsomei child." He imitated Alan's expression from before.
" Hey… I asked you something." Alan waved his hand in front of Mark who seemed to be lost.
" Huh?" Mark looked at Alan from head to toe. " Why are you such a mess? Even if I am daydreaming, this is too much."
Mark pulled the strap of Alan's backpack down and then pulled his shirt up. Then he button up the collar and put the backpack's strap back to Alan's shoulder. Then he pulled out a handkerchief and started wiping Alan's hand. He was about to reach out to the lips when a punch landed on his stomach.
" You pervert. What the fuck do you think you are doing?" Alan who was shocked by Mark casually pulling on to his shirt, punched him in the stomach. " You dare to touch me without my permission."
" Ow…Omma! It's real. This demon is real." Mark grabbed his stomach. Then, he looked up to the sky, gritted his teeth and shouted, " You really are a trickster. If I climb up there, I am gonna make you regret this." Again, another one threathening the almighty, as if he was his family's butler.
" What are you even saying? Ugh, you know what, forget it. I don't know why I even talked to you in the first place." Alan continued walking down the stairs without looking back. " pervert." Alan mumbled and left that pervert far behind.
