A blond man had just returned from school, he was still wearing his school uniform and walking while playing his cell phone.
Actually he had finished studying since this afternoon, but he went to the game center and fell asleep in one of the rented rooms to play his game until the night.
"Hmn... It's already 9 o'clock and there are several missed calls from mom and Al, I'd better get home before Al scolds me," muttered the man who was an Omega as well.
[ALDRICH]
Where are you?
[ALDRICH]
Answer me, idiot! Don't ignore my message.
[DAREN]
On my way home, are you going to pick me up?
[DAREN]
I'm near the game center in the shopping area.
[ALDRICH]
Go inside one of the crowded shops and wait for me.
"What for? I'll just wait for him at the end of the shopping street. I'm too lazy to be around a lot of people," Daren muttered as he continued to play with his cell phone while walking.
As he passed the quiet street at the end of the shops, his steps stopped as he felt someone standing in front of him. As he looked up from his phone, two Alpha males stood before him.
"Look at this, a cute Omega walking around alone," one of them said.
"Right, look at her blonde hair and blue eyes. This one is very pretty, hey sweetie, do you need someone to keep you company? Are you lost?"
The first Alpha suddenly put his arm around Daren's shoulders and pulled him close. "Let's take you to the place you want."
"N-no! Get away from me!" shouted Daren as he broke free. He walked backwards but his body immediately collided with another large body behind him.
When he turned around, there were two other Alphas staring at him with hungry eyes, ready to pounce on him.
Of course Daren panicked and tried to run away, but he was an Omega and surrounded by four Alphas who were bigger than him.
"No need to be afraid, we'll take it slow. We know you'll like it." The Alpha who had just arrived immediately grabbed Daren's hand so he couldn't run away from them.
He kept trying to pull himself away, until Daren finally bit the Alpha's hand that had grabbed his wrist.
"AKKHH! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS OMEGA DOING?!" the man screamed as his hand turned blue from being bitten by Daren.
Seeing the opportunity, he intended to run away. However, the other Alpha caught him again.
"You're making a big mistake!" the Alpha said and raised his hand to hit Daren.
THUD!
"Huh?!" Daren awoke from his sleep in a state of shock as he dreamt about an old incident that had happened to him long ago.
His head felt dizzy from the sudden awakening, but he tried to regulate his labored breathing and the cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"That dream again, I hate it so much," he muttered irritably, but there was pain and loss in his eyes.
Feelings of guilt and self-loathing always surfaced whenever he recalled the incident.
The incident where... Changed his entire life until now.
"Young master," called Mike the butler who had just arrived, approaching the man who was lying on a lounge chair by the pool.
"I brought you some cold lemon tea," he continued as he placed a glass of iced lemon tea on the table. "Did you just wake up?"
"Yes, I overslept. Is it noticeable?" Daren asked back.
The ginger-haired man nodded his head, noting that his employer's eyes were slightly reddened and her face pale. He was worried something had happened.
"I'm fine, just a bit of a nightmare," the young master replied as he took a drink of iced lemon tea.
"Are you thinking about Master Aldrich again?" asked Mike cautiously.
At the sound of that name, Daren stopped drinking his drink. He couldn't deny that he was thinking about the man again. But he couldn't show that he did. Even so, Mike could understand the thoughts of the Omega man in front of him right now.
"Young master," he called, which immediately made Daren look at him.
He smiled, as if to say that it was okay to remember someone who was dear to him even if he was no longer with them.
"Yes, I know that."
*****
In the middle of the lonely night inside the mansion, everyone was asleep including the maids who had gone to the small cottage at the back of the mansion. The mansion was as quiet as a haunted house.
A muscular man was walking through the hallway of the mansion on the first floor of the mansion to go to a room that he had not yet seen in its entirety.
Krieet...
The door opened slowly, he looked into the room that was quite dark due to the lights not being turned on. The room was large and spacious, filled with shelves containing various books inside, a library.
"I better not turn on the lights or someone will notice," muttered the man.
He walked into the library with a cell phone flashlight in hand. The man wandered around looking for anything he could find to get more information he needed.
"There must be something about this family that I don't know. Something they're covering up," he said quietly with his brown eyes tracing every spot in the library.
Although it was dark, her eyes were trained enough to see in the dark. Like a wolf on guard, the Alpha entered one of the bookcase aisles until he found a shelf containing the family albums of the mansion's owners, the Wyne Family.
"Photo album, huh? I wonder what that damn kid looked like as a kid. Must have been just as annoying."
As soon as he picked up the album and opened it, what he saw was a dark-haired boy with blue eyes similar to Daren's. In some of the photos, it was just the boy until he was about five years old. In some of the photos, it was just the boy until he was about five years old.
It was then that the photo of Daren started when he was just born and was on the lap of the dark-haired boy.
"Hmn? Who is this boy? Is he the older brother of that annoying Omega?" he asked in surprise.
As he was flipping through the photo album further, the library's lights suddenly turned on completely.
Making the bodyguard gasp in surprise because he did not expect the lights to turn on just like that.
The sound of footsteps was heard followed by a man's voice.
"Who's there?"
