“Look what I got my dudes!”

Marcus slammed a couple of papers down on the table where the other two had sat down.

“What are those?” Aosh asked as he used the towel around his neck to wipe the sweat from his brow.Today was cardio day and it was definitely showing how hard they had worked by how soaked he was in his own sweat.

“These, my friend, are enrollment sheets for the dance courses. I’m a genius honestly. We’ll use the dance classes to get close to that adorable Omega. The way I figure it there are three of us, so the chance of him choosing one of us is pretty high. You guys in?” Marcus flashed a wicked grin, obviously proud of this plan to capture the desirable Omega.

“Oh hell yea! I’ll take a piece of this action!” Hunter said without hesitation; grabbing one of the papers and filling out the information after fumbling around in his duffel bag for a pen.

“Well, big guy?” Marcus poked Aosh’s tattooed shoulder, on top of one of the many koi fish that swam on his skin. A sigh left the raven-haired man’s lips.

“Marcus…”

“Listen, if you don’t want to go for that Omega that’s fine. Whatever. But at least do it for us. It would look less suspicious if three of us joined. When have we ever asked you for much?”

Aosh could think of a million and ten times when they have asked him to do things for them,and he has only known them for about half a year. It bordered on them using him if he was being honest. But they were the closest thing to friends Aosh had. Reluctantly he grabbed a sheet of paper and snatched the pen from Hunter when he was finished.

“Wait…The course is…four hundred dollars?! Marcus!”

“Shhh it will all be worth it my, dude. Look it even says they partially refund your payment if you back out before the first two weeks. So we’ll be fine and if I get that Omega I’ll personally pay you back.”

Aosh gritted his teeth as he finished filling out the form. He guessed he was eating cup noodle for a while until his wallet recovered from another one of his friends dumb ideas.

Aosh did a lot of stupid things with his friends. Most, if not all of them, included trying to get somebody to hook up with either Hunter or Marcus. It really seemed like both of them had their brains in their pants at all times. Which Aosh could understand, he did have urges too, but he never pursued these urges due to his current status of ‘waiting for the right person’. Marcus and Hunter on the other hand were horndogs in the purest form.

All of these plans Marcus came up with ended up about the same, with either man striking out. Hunter got laid once but he said that chick was so desperate she would’ve jumped anyones bones who looked at her the right way; apparently that didn’t count as a success.

As often as they had bad luck in their dating games they never failed to use Aosh for their benefit. Two Betas hanging out with an Alpha, they can’t be total losers right? And despite how intimidating Aosh initially looks he has never failed to draw a crowd. Marcus chalks it up to him being a ‘prime specimen of an Alpha’.

Out of all the outrageous plans the two included him in this one was probably the stupidest, and that was saying something. There was a point where he had to convince a group of bridesmaids, out with their soon bride to be, that Marcus was good in bed. That ended up with them practically ripping his clothes off to get him to give the bride a lap dance. Granted he had been pretty drunk and would’ve been overwhelmed by the horde of horny women had Hunter not saved his ass,but this idea totally is more stupid. Especially since he paid and came to this dance course for their sake and neither of them were even here!

The Alpha stood awkwardly in the dance studio amongst ten other Beta women around his age. Where he leaned against the bars on the wall one brave woman,undeterred by his gruff yet handsome appearance, approached him.Seeing that someone had made the first move,the other women flocked to him like pigeons who just saw someone drop food.

“Hi!”

“What’s your name?”

“Oh, I didn’t think someone like you would take this kind of class!”

Aosh grew nervous as they closed in around him and continued to bombard him with questions.

“Umm…Uhh..” He tried to look anywhere but at them. Suddenly he felt hands on his biceps and he jumped at the unwanted touch.

“Oh my god you’re so built!”

“I love your tattoos!”

‘Dammit!’ he screamed internally. 

This was all Marcus’ fault that he was basically being bombarded by these women! What was with these chicks? Had they never seen a man before? Or an Alpha? Aosh needed to get away from these people. Marcus and Hunter weren’t here anyway, if he went fast enough he could go by the front office to ask for at least some of his money back. Then call those two idiots to cuss them out for not following through on their own plan.

Aosh braced himself to push pass the throng of women but stopped when a voice spoke up from the other side of the room.

“Well I hope I’m not interrupting anything ladies.” The Omega closed the door behind him. 

The women quickly dissipated from around Aosh, turning to face their instructor. His stomach began to feel uneasy again as he looked at the smaller man. The room was silent as the man set his duffel bag on the floor in front of the mirror wall adjacent to his students. Aosh could get a better look at him now that there wasn’t a window filtering his view. The Omega’s fair skin was dusted with freckles from his cheeks to his hands. His eyes held the same glint as they did the other day but now Aosh could see the color; a brilliant viridian. The platinum blonde hair that shimmered like starlight was pulled neatly up in a top knot, only letting his straight bangs softly kiss his forehead and the sides of his face. He was slender and petite,wearing a form fitting top and tights,but had gentle curves here and there. Settling dainty hands at his curvy hips he addressed the class.

“I’m glad everyone who signed up was able to make it today. But only time will tell if all of you will stay until the end. Ballet is a very physically demanding form of dance and is not for everyone. But at the same time it is very rewarding.” His luscious lips perked up into a smile.

“My assistant is running a little late this time around but we’ll begin with introductions while we wait for him. As you can tell by the little bit of an accent I have I’m from France but moved to the states a few years ago. I have trained at a prestigious dance academy in France and one of the top schools in this country.My name is Tiza Jeannot, and I’ll have the pleasure of instructing you all for the next two months.”

In that moment, when that name was uttered, time seemed to stop. The words echoed in his head. Tiza Jeannot. Tiza….Jeannot… His Tiza Jeannot? The same Tiza Jeannot whose name was etched into his forearm? The Tiza Jeannot he had spent his whole life up until now waiting for;longing to meet, longing to love? The same person that fate had decided he should be with for the rest of his life? After seventeen years of waiting, Aosh had finally found the one person he has been wanting to meet his entire life;and all it cost him was four hundred dollars?
