"Your uncle is waiting for you, little omega," His aunt said after he finished breakfast, and the little omega nodded.

"Okay," he replied softly, closing his eyes when his aunt ruffled his hair.

"Did I do something wrong?" he asked in curiosity, eyes widening when his aunt nodded, crossing her arms.

'But I don't remember doing anything illegal!' Bailey whined to his wolf who snorted.

"Yes, you did," his aunt suddenly said in a flat tone

"W-what did I do?" he asked hesitantly.

Did the boy he threatened yesterday complain to his uncle? Oh, maybe he forgot to threaten him in the first place which is why the boy thought it was a good idea to report him!! What if-

"Your crime is that you are so cute your uncle feels bad to scold you for your naughty achievement" she teased, and Bailey sighed in relief that nobody was mad at him.

"I am not naughty! I am a good boy!" he lied with a straight face, ignoring his wolf's snickers.

"Sure you are! Come to my office now! I have some news for you," his uncle who randomly appeared from god knows where exclaimed, interrputing his conversation with his aunt.

"Okay, uncle!" he replied politely to the alpha of the pack, placing his plate in the sink before heading to the office.

Bailey knew that his uncle would never hurt him

"Close the door," Uncle Jack instructed, and just as he was about to do so, someone pushed the door open.

"I demand to be here!" Marc, his uncle's second mate, ordered, entering the room before locking the door.

"Now we can talk! Lili said that I was free to punch you if you're mean to Bailey," Marc, the little omega, scoffed, and Jack sighed.

"I may be the strict parent... But I'm still a parent after all," he replied in defeat, and Marc grinned, sitting on the couch before pulling Bailey next to him.

"Yup, I knew Lili didn't have to worry! Anyway, what were you going to talk about with Bailey?" Marc asked curiously, holding Bailey's shaky hand.

"Hm, well, Bailey, do you know alpha Kairos?" Jack asked, and Bailey stiffened while Marc quickly stood up.

"Absolutely not! I know what you plan to do, but I refuse!" Marc said in anger, but Jack smirked.

"Hmm, this isn't about you, little mate. You know damn well that Bailey is my son too... I'll never do anything without knowing how he feels, am I not right, Bailey?" Jack teased, and Marc frowned, turning to tell Bailey not to listen to Jack, only to be shocked at Bailey's blushing cheeks.

"What in the world..." he trailed off while Bailey played with his fingers.

"Y-you w-want to pair him me?" he asked like a shy bride, and Jack nodded, knowing the little affection his nephew held for Kairos.

"More like try our luck. Every time I talk about pairing you with a strong alpha, you always seem down and unwilling. An omega usually dreams of having an alpha for himself, and that bothered me. I always wondered why you never tried to even meet anyone until last week when I saw you watch Kairos like a little stalker," Jack teased, and Bailey immediately covered his face with his hands.

So embarassing!!!

"Y-you saw that?" he squeaked, and his uncle laughed while Marc was still in shock.

"Yes, I did! So, how and when did Alpha Kairos win your little heart?" Marc asked in confusion, and Bailey's thoughts went back to three years ago when he was 18 years old.

Bailey hummed and picked up the pretty flowers, smiling softly when a butterfly landed on his cheek.

"Sorry to pick you, but you're so pretty! I promise, you'll grow even prettier flowers in the future!" Bailey exclaimed, happily walking towards the river that didn't belong to any territory.

His happy mood was suddenly interrupted by his wolf who let out a startling growl inside his head making Bailey pause.

'Alpha nearby,' Nameless exclaimed, and Bailey pondered before reaching a conclusion;

'Should I peek?' Bailey decided.

'Do whatever you want, I want to challenge an alpha so bad,' his wolf said in excitement, and Bailey rolled his eyes.

'I'm not mentally stable enough to attack an alpha,' Bailey replied, slowly walking towards the river.

'Oh, silly, that's because I'm holding myself back! I don't want to harm you, but one day or another, you'll have to get used to me,' his wolf pointed out, and Bailey sighed.

'I know', he replied, freezing when he saw the sexiest man he had ever seen in his entire life.

The man in question was shirtless, with water dripping down his torso. He was holding a white bunny in his hand, and he had a soft smile on his face. His black hair stuck to his forehead, and his blue eyes looked so happy.

He was humming a familiar tune, and Bailey was entranced, his heart beating faster.

'Now, now, don't fall in love too soon! I'm your number one, remember?' his wolf teased, and Bailey blushed, quickly turning around to walk away.

'Aww, come on, little flower, go talk to him instead of running away! Do you know who he is?' his wolf asked.

No, and I don't want to know!

'Gonna tell you anyway, little flower! His name is Kairos Daniel Kruzo.'

Present

"Oh, I don't remember," Bailey lied.

"We're going tomorrow, get ready, okay?" his uncle said, and Bailey nodded before remembering an important detail.

"U-Um... Uncle... Should we tell you about...what I did?" Bailey asked hesitantly, and his uncle tensed.

"No.. It's just a rumor anyway, no one will believe it," his uncle decided, and Bailey bit his lip in disapproval

"But I know it's true..." Bailey trailed off.

"And I know it too, yet I don't feel any remorse or anger at what you did. Besides, it wasn't you who did it, remember that," his uncle reassured, and Bailey finally nodded relunctantly

"Okay."

"Rejected," Kairos refused without batting an eyes, angering yet another alpha who came to offer his daughter's hand.

"You'll regret the humiliation we faced, Alpha Kairos," the alpha promised, getting up before storming away while Kairos sighed in annoyance.

"Kairos, you can't reject yet another mating proposal! It's the third this week!" Alpha Kairos' beta scolded, and Kairos stared at him flatly.

"I'm doing it because I can. Who's going to stop me?" Kairos replied, and his beta sighed.

"You're so frustrating! You know, you can just stop searching for a mate! They're only coming because you allow them to," Lake, the 5'7" beta, pointed out.

"I am searching for a mate because I want one! Our pack is among the top ten largest. I can't choose a defenseless, pretty face who going to satisfy me or something. "I want a mate, not a possession. I want a partner, not a slave who would gonna jump off a cliff upon my order. I can do my own cooking and clean my own things; I don't need a housewife either. So far, all the omegas have been raised like queens or kings whose whole purpose is to serve their alphas! Tsk, what a shitty mindset. I'm not going to be like my dad," the alpha continued 

"Honestly, I can't decide whether you're an asshole or great. You're either one or the other; there's no in-between. There's a pack coming in an hour, the Blood Moon Red pack. The alpha and his wife have been killed, and his brother has taken over the pack. Their nephew is an omega who will be coming to ask for your hand. I heard that he's well-loved in his pack. I also heard that he is allowed to hunt with others. Oh and..." The beta trailed off in suspense, piquing the interest of the alpha.

The fact that he was allowed to hunt had already caught Kairos' attention.

Omegas were prized possessions who were supposed to sit and look pretty while their pack hunted for them. The fact that this omega hunted already showed that he was raised differently.

"And...?" Kairos asked impatiently, wanting to wipe that teasing smile off Lake's face.

"He's indeed an omega who can give birth, but he has a dominant wolf. Rumors about them say that... they killed the previous alpha and luna when they were really young, that is, he killed his own parents when his wolf lost control."
