Daren's POV
I sat watching Vic treat my hand after I had beaten up the man who had hurt my mother. I knew it wasn't his fault and that he was just following what Samuel said, but I still felt very upset at his answer that seemed to devalue the lives of others.
I didn't really care either, but this was about my mom, Mike and Edgar. The three people who had always been there for me since I was a child, even when my own father favored Aldrich over an Omega like me.
Flashback
I've always gotten whatever I wanted, everything was no exception. But everything stopped, even being taken away from me after I found out that I was an Omega.
Father took everything away from me, put me in a lowly normal school, and no longer even cared about me.
And in the midst of my fear of having nothing left, they were always there for me.
"Young Master, don't be sad! Mike will always be here for you!"
I remember when he was 10 years old, he held my hand tightly and said he would be my friend forever. Mike smiled at me and never once cried, it was me who always cried in front of him.
"Don't cry, Young Master! They're bad people, they don't deserve to talk to you like that! Don't... Cry..."
But sometimes... I see him almost cry when I cry. It feels like we're connected to each other.
"Daren dear, why are you crying? It's okay, mom is here for you." Mom would always pull me onto her lap. Hugging me gently and singing softly to me.
Her voice was so soft and beautiful, making me feel calmer. Not only me, mom also let Mike lean on her lap because since he was a child, his mother had died as soon as he was born.
I only had them all this time... People who are very close to me...
Mom... Mike...
Flashback End
"Hey, Vic..." I called my Alpha.
Ever since I found out about his real name, I always called him by that name so I could feel closer to him.
"What's wrong? Are you hungry?" he asked me then put lotion on the red bruise on my knuckle.
I paused for a moment to rethink my decision, I knew it was a stupid thing to do and mom had warned me not to do it. But I couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
I knew it wouldn't bring back what had happened, but something stirred within me to do it.
"I want to ask something, I want to do something but I can't do it alone, do you want to help me?"
Victor looked at me, as if he already knew what I wanted to tell him. He seemed to be trying to resist from how he looked at me, but I had already decided on this.
"I want to kill Ivan- no... Samuel! I want to kill him with my own hands, I don't care how many cuts I'll get, I want to kill him!" I said firmly and loudly to him.
"But I know I can't do it alone, that's why I need your help. I need you to cover this up, I can't let anyone know about my plan. You must know very well how to make this murder look like an accident, right?"
He nodded with a flat face but his piercing brown eyes looked straight at me.
"You know you can't get everything for free, right? But I'm not talking about money," he replied with that smirk on his face.
Seeing his smile and lustful gaze, I understood what my lover wanted.
"Alright, I'll pay for it! I'll make love to you every day for one--"
"One month, I'll take it," Victor said, cutting me off when I wanted to say one week.
"Are you crazy?! I'll die because of it!" I protested to him in annoyance.
But he just teased me and said it was his last offer. Hearing that, I was forced to agree to make love to him every day for a whole month.
Another annoying smile appeared on his face, since when did he become so annoying like that at a time like this?
"Deal, I'll help you, my Omega." He pulled my chin close and kissed me instead of a handshake.
I kissed him back then he pulled away while gently biting my lower lip.
"I'll think of a plan for this, then you can carry out your wish."
"You're okay with me wanting to kill him? Didn't you once tell me that revenge only repeats a vicious cycle," I asked.
"As long as you kill him, it's no big deal because after that no one will ever get back at you and it stops there," Victor answers and puts a band-aid on the back of my hand.
He kissed my knuckles and looked into my eyes again.
"Just leave all this to me, but you have to keep your word or I'll do it to you by force."
"Yes, I understand."
I stood up from where I was sitting and looked at Wilfred who had come over to us.
"He fainted from the heavy blows. Apparently you are quite strong for an Omega. No wonder Vic is interested in you," he told me.
He explained that another reason why Victor disliked Omegas was because they were weak and couldn't protect themselves. Always dependent on the Alpha who is much stronger than them.
"I remember him saying that when he first met you, you slammed him, right? He felt very upset and interested at the same time because it was the first time he--"
Victor suddenly smothered Wilfred's mouth so that he wouldn't talk to me about it. It turned out that they were very good friends.
"Ahahaha... Really? So are you in awe of me, Vic?" I asked him teasingly.
"Seriously, that time I wanted to break both your hands because you're such a pain in the ass," he replied.
I laughed again, remembering all the things I did to him when we first met. I picked on him, teased him and so on. But we ended up becoming lovers.
Hearing Wilfred's story about Victor made me feel a little better. Although I still couldn't forget what had happened.
It was like a horrible movie playing in my head and I swore I would end this horror by killing him.
