CHAPTER 1 - PART 3

CHAPTER 1 - PART 3

Feb 09, 2026

I layed on the bed with my back against my cover, took my phone and responded to my messages and notifications. I have messages from Owen that want to play online, at least wanted to 40 minutes ago and one simple greeting from Hollis. Then, I scrolled endlessly on social media. I was looking without much thought on my phone when my brother Nash walked into my bedroom.

« Needed to flew away from the parents too? » I asked

« Definitely aunty! This is fun until they speak about me » He sat besides my laying self « She wants me to officially introduce Renata »

« For this, I am with her. I never really saw her » My brother was studying medicine in the Royal Azar University, the best one in this domain. It was less than an hour away but a lot of other students lived further away. That was the case of his girlfriend so we really didn’t know her or her family 

« You have been seeing each other for months and all your dates  were rock – you had one last night ?»

« Great ! I wanted to debrief you last night but you were already sleeping when I came back »

I acquiesced, once I fell asleep I was unawokable  and I needed tons of sleep.

« She’s clever, nice and funny  - we really had a nice feeling. We should see each other on Saturday but I feel official is too soon, she never mentioned it either »

« Maybe she doesn't want to pressure you ? And seriously, what are you worried about, even if you don’t stay forever it won’t be awkward same thing happened with Clara and nobody blamed you and—»

« I honestly don’t want this to happen this time, I am really attached, I could see myself founding a family with her »

« It can’t go unwell, she has a good family, right? » She was everything my family liked : an alpha and from an apparently rich family, mom even knew her parents by view and didn’t disapprove.

«Yes, » He eyed me intently « But if your real question is, is there any omegas in their family – that’s not the case »

I didn’t respond and looked at the ceiling of my room.

« Are you crushing on an omega ? You really are tense about these subjects » He tried to sound playful but there was an underlying seriousness in his voice.

« Not you too » I sighed

« Sure? » He insisted

I pushed myself on my elbows and glared at him.

« Okay, » He smiled, understanding that he needed to drop the subject « I’ll stop but when you are interested in founding a family, you’d understand. This is a normal concern. You need to be careful». He seemed to be hesitant to say the next bit « At school, we often say that the 1%, is the 1% too much »

Even for the most 100% alpha household, there was always a 1% risk, of having an omega. It was really rare, I didn’t know anyone in this case but maybe they were abandoned around 6 years old when there was the second gender examination.

« I - just feel bad. Imagine if I had one as a child, I probably wouldn’t want anyone to treat them like this » I stated

« This would be a really rare case, considering our family if you are being cautious. As harsh as that may sound, your child won’t have to deal with this difficult life – and any discrimination or any isolation » He looked towards the door he hadn’t closed and turned back to me « Our parents wouldn’t accept it, but this can be avoided if you are being careful »

« You mean this would be my fault?! »

« No I mean…just be careful if you ever want to really want to sleep with one »

« Gosh Nash! » I sat up « I will never sleep with one. Even if there is 1% chance and I know this shouldn’t happen, I can’t help but worry. I think a lot about it because you’ll probably be married in the next five years » I admitted « well if you take your courage and ever present her to us» I teased him, wanting to light up the mood.

« You jerk!»  He slapped my arm

« Did you receive your new bag ? » He diverted the subject

I took the bait « Nah, too broke didn’t command it finally »

« You always say you are broke »

« I am »

« I don’t where you squander your money this way »

« Life » I groaned
