Aidehynn's Point Of View
One Day Prior
"Hey, Waihlynn. Did you get your letter yet?" I asked.
"From Zachariah? Yes, I did. Why?"
"Do you know why we are all being summoned?" I asked, curious.
I had never had a formal invite or summons from Zachariah. None of us had, so I had to imagine it was for a serious reason.
"Nope. No clue." Waihlynn replied.
"Haha! I know what it is!" Naithynn yelled.
"Oho? Do enlighten us then." I said.
"Well, it seems that that bastard Ferdinand has claimed an Omega that wasn't his." He replied gleefully.
"Oh? And who's Omega was it that he claimed?" Waihlynn asked.
"Well this is where it gets messy. So, he stole him from that Lazy dumbass's territory, but he apparently belonged to Danhiel." Naithynn answered.
"Hmmm? This is about that facility in Delgaide?!" I asked, dumbfounded.
"Yup. Apparently Danhiel is pissed." Naithynn chortled.
"How do you even know all this?" Waihlynn asked.
"Danhiel told me. He's offering a reward for the Omega's capture." Naithynn replied.
This was big news to be sure. I couldn't remember a single time where the stakes were so high and the demand was so valuable. And to add the cherry on top Ferdinand was going to be the center of it all.
"Is that bastard mated to the Omega?" Waihlynn asked.
"Yeah... also I'm pretty sure he mated him with Sylvester. Rahzden said that Hastings sent men to retrieve the Omega and they were informed that the Omega has taken multiple mates." Naithynn said.
"He wha–"
"Sir, please. If you could just wait a moment!"
"Good Evening gentlemen. What good fortune I have to find you all in one place!" Danhiel said, as he barged into the parlor of our family home.
I never liked this asshole, for many reasons. This one, being the biggest of all. Our parents were childhood friends and our father's shared similar beliefs. However, after our parents died. This bastard started barging into our home like he owned the place. It was infuriating.
I didn't share the same views as my brothers. Mostly because I saw the good Mr. WhetStone, Danhiel's father, had done for Many Omegas. Danhiel was just a spoiled brat who had been manipulated early by his jealous mother. Whenever someone tried to correct him on the things he'd say about his father, he'd fly into a rage and berate them until they gave up.
I had a facility in my region of the duhtchy I shared with my brothers, but it was still in the version of Mr. WhetStone's original dream. It helped rehabilitate Omegas, gave them an education, and tried to find adequate work for them around Delgahtowe.
I could never tell my brothers that however, they would surely come to my facility and ruin everything. It was my own personal, well kept, secret.
"Danhiel... Why are you here?" Waihlynn asked.
"Oh yeah... he did say he was going to come by today, now that I think about it... what eerie timing..." Naithynn replied.
"Haaah... as forgetful as always I see..." Danhiel sighed.
"And yet you still trusted him with the information... Can't tell which one of you is the bigger idiot at this point..." I sighed.
"Watch your tone there." Danhiel replied with a pointed glare.
"Or what? You don't own or control anything that I have so what possible threat is there for you to make, asshole?" I glared right back.
"Oho? I could out you to your brothers about a little secret you've been hiding from them. You truly did admire my idiot father a touch too much for my comfort." He smirked.
I felt my stomach tighten. It seemed that my secret wasn't actually a secret anymore. It was irritating that he had been the one to find out first.
"And you always fed into your mother's psycho bullshit a bit too much for a grown man capable of using his brain." I couldn't help but retort.
His smug assurity always grated on my nerves. As if he knew everything, and was untouchable. I wanted nothing more than to put a bullet between his eyes.
"Danhiel, stop provoking my little brother and answer my question. Why have you come here." Waihlynn asked, clearly annoyed.
"I've come to ask you a favor. Being the staunch haters of Ferdinand that you are. Won't you accept my most generous offer?" He smirked, leaning forward in his chair.
I didn't hate Ferdinand per say, not completely. I was more envious than anything else. He was strong, resilient, smart, calculating, and capable as hell. He was everything I wanted to be as an Alpha. And even though I was a Hyper-Dominant Alpha as well, he was somehow even more so. One whiff of his pheromones made my heart tremble, and I also became so nervous that it made me nauseous.
"What is this favor? If it's about that Omega then I'll have to decline. As much as I hate that bastard, going against Ferdinand and Zachariah is tantamount to suicide." Waihlynn replied.
"Well let's hear him out first brother, damn." Naithynn replied.
"Well it is about the Omega. His name is Tristan, and he is the Genetic Key Delgahtowe has been searching for." Danhiel said with a nonchalant shrug.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Waihlynn sighed.
"Yeah, what Genetic Key?" Naithynn chimed in.
I however was becoming increasingly sick. I knew what he meant. His father would joke about it to our father back in the day. They would talk about how if an Omega generation could be born that could reproduce nothing but Omegas and Alphas and in a decade's time the crisis could be averted. It was a pipe dream they would drink to. But now Danhiel was basically saying they made an Omega that could actually do that.
"Tristan is the Omega of our time. His genome is infallible. It doesn't matter what kind of cock you shove into his body he will only birth Hyper-Dominant Alphas or Hyper-Dominant Omegas. He even has the ability to impregnate Alphas and Omegas alike. He's beautiful as hell, and has been thoroughly trained in the art of seduction and pleasure. He's literally and physically perfect." He said on a disgusting groan.
Meanwhile my brothers were in complete and utter shock. Waihlynn was seconds away from losing his shit, while Naithynn looked like he was prepared to hunt down the Omega this instant. Danhiel was studying our reactions intently. He locked eyes with me and began to grin wider.
"What do you mean?! What facility was responsible for his creation?" Waihlynn asked.
"It's a guy?!?" Naithynn exclaimed, sounding disappointed once the information settled in his head.
"You don't seem too surprised, Aidehynn... Why is that?" Danhiel asked.
"What is there to be surprised about? Unlike you, I listened to your father when he spoke. Let me guess, it was another Omega who was able to pull it off, but they were not forthcoming with the information on how they did it?" I replied with a sardonic grin.
My question made him red with anger, and my brothers look at me in confusion. It was very soothing for the soul, all things considered.
"Also, to answer your Waihlynn, if you think back to what Naithynn said, it's obviously the facility in Delgaide. Although I must admit, something isn't adding up, why would Ferdinand raid Delgaide for an Omega no one knew existed? How did he know? Is he in cahoots with Bennhayzin?" I asked.
Ferdinand was the Mafia King of StohneGarrdin, arguably one of the furthest duhtchies from Delgaide. Unless Bennhayzin gave him the information and took a step back, there was no way Ferdinand found out about the Omega by pure luck. Even if he did, he was too smart to carelessly risk a war with Bennhayzin otherwise.
"Yes, well... about that... long story short, Tristan escaped from Delgaide... Ferdinand just happened to stumble across him at a strip club... but that doesn't matter. He was rightfully mine! If Bennhayzin would have done his job properly then none of this would have happened!" Danhiel said, visibly seething.
"Hmmm... well this seems to not have anything to do with me. So I'm out." I said with a shrug.
"What do you mean?! How could you not want this? The perfect Omega? I'd like to see him at least." Naithynn groaned.
"You can look all you want but you can't have him, so what's the point?" I asked.
It was clear as day that Danhiel would do any and everything possible to keep him chained up somewhere. He was just weak as hell and didn't stand a chance against Ferdinand or his men. Much less against Ferdinand, Sylvester, Bennhayzin, and Zachariah. This was pointless and tedious as hell.
"But I mean... he still has his uses, and Danhiel did promise anything we wanted, right?" Naithynn asked.
"Hm? Sure. You want a night with the Omega? I will give you that and more. Just bring him back to me in one piece." Danhiel shrugged.
I couldn't disguise my grimace. He was disgusting, the lecherous look in his eyes was sickening. I was at my limit with this leech of a man. Waihlynn, however, had found a new button to push.
"There is a deeper meaning for you to have this Omega back. What is it Danhiel?" He asked, with a fierce glare.
"I don't know what you mean...?" Danhiel glared right back.
"Cut the shit! You're not some love sick puppy! What is it that you're trying to accomplish? A fucking take-over?" Waihlynn asked.
Danhiel said nothing more. He just smiled a wide and mischievous grin. His eyes flashed sinisterly and he let out a throaty groan. Then in a soft, deep, and eerie voice he answered my brother's question.
"Control the Omega, Control Delgahtowe..."
'Hmph... then doesn't that mean Ferdinand has already won?'
