Empty Hearts

There was a time when omegas were sacred—worshipped, not owned. Their heats were divine, their bonds a gift. Alphas knelt, swore loyalty, and served with devotion. But power twists devotion. Gradually, reverence turned to control. Omegas were pulled from pedestals and placed in silk-lined cages—valued for fertility, not personhood. To be soft, obedient, and claimed became their only acceptable form. Freedom came—on paper. They could work, speak, refuse. But only within the lines alphas still drew. An omega's birth was no triumph. "Delicate," they said. "He'll make a lovely mate someday." Futures decided before first steps. But some omegas refused. Chose themselves. And alphas noticed. Instinct flared. Control tightened. “You were made for this.” “Don’t fight what you are.” Consent blurred. Pressure mounted. Laws stayed clean while tactics grew cruel. And when the illusion of peace finally shattered— No one would be spared.

***Together, they were like fire and ice.*** Damon pursued, ready to conquer while Alexander ran, trying so hard to remain cold and guarded. Alexander had thought guarding the sick crown prince was something so easy until he found himself cruelly yet so innocently tempted. ***excerpt*** There was indeed nothing he could do when it came to this man. "You...you are shameless." Alexander managed to say something once he recovered from his momentarily shock. Damon smirked. "I know and I am unapologetic for being that way. Alexander, I am going to do whatever it takes to make you mine." Damon smiled painfully, his voice serious as his eyes burned into his. Alexander was lost for words. At least Damon was being brazenly honest about his intentions. Knowing that did not help to lessen his overwhelmed state at the bold declaration. Now, Alexander knew this man had his eyes set on him but what was he going to do about it. Run or give in to his desires. Desires his mind was still coming to terms with. Running was the safer option because uncertainty was not his greatest suite. But... this man had assured him that he had no problem chasing him. Alexander knew he was doomed...so sweetly doomed. ...

Hao Lou screwed up. Massively. One moment he was tossing a book to scare off some thieving celestial monkeys. The next? Boom.
