[An's pov]

For three years, was what I promised Master Blakesley. If I thought that the marriage was not working, I was allowed to file a divorce, but only after three years of marriage. When I told Lyla that promised via voicemail, she texted me after a few days and told me to give the alpha I was going to marry a chance. I couldn't contact her afterwards, though. 

So, I tried to give him a chance. But, it had been nearly a week. That alpha shamelessly brought his girlfriend a few times when he thought there was no one home. I was home, though. All the time. I rarely came out of the room.

Like tonight, I had to sneak around my own house to go the kitchen to have a really late dinner. Yes. My own house, because Master Blakesley gave this house to BOTH of us. Something that the idiotic alpha had unfortunately forgotten. And very late dinner because it was already 1am and I hadn't eaten my dinner because the two lovebirds were... being lovebirds openly on the first floor, and not inside his bedroom like they should be.

The light outside was almost all off, leaving only emergency lights dimly lit the surroundings. I let my bedroom door slightly ajar, just in case I need to make a run fast. Then, I quietly sneaked into the kitchen which only a few meters away from my room. I looked inside the fridge for the leftover food I made at lunch.

My whole body froze. I blinked my eyes a few times. Yes. You guessed it right. There was nothing in the fridge. Not even a trace of it. I turned my head towards the sink. And, there it was. The Tupperware that I used to store my lunch leftover was resting inside the sink, looking like someone had assaulted it and murdered it without mercy. The remaining carbonara pasta sauce was left on some parts of the Tupperware. My heart sank.

"Who are you?" A woman's voice who I didn't even realized since when did she get here, suddenly broke the silence. I calmly looked at her with a dead face, reflecting my dead heart.

"What are you doing here?!" she asked again, now with a higher volume.

Um... I live here... So...

Of course I didn't say that out loud. I just stared at her because I knew that she was one of the culprit who had eaten my dinner.

"Babe! BAAABE!!" she screamed in urgency while her eyes were still locked on me. I sighed.

Zephyr hurriedly ran down the stairs, staring at his girlfriend worriedly before hugging her in his arms, trying to calm her down.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" he asked, kissing her on her head. She pointed at me.

"What's this omega doing here?!" she asked, stressing on the word 'omega' with disgusted face.

I flinched. He shifted his eyes, facing me; and the look in his eyes were clearly showed that he as shocked and disgusted at my appearance.

What's this? Am I a soiled baby nappy or what?

He shot me a warning glare and turned to his girlfriend once more. He caressed her hair and cooed her so that she would calm down. I scoffed at them internally.

Seriously, stop the lover's acts. I'm allergic. 

"He's the HOUSEKEEPER that Granddad assigned to me. Honestly, I DIDN'T want him to be here, but I had NO choice," he said while glaring daggers at me, stressing some words for me to hear as he speak. Seriously?

"B- but he's an OMEGA! You hated omega!"

Okay, princess... I laughed. Internally. It's hard to have a trauma that prevented you to react externally sometimes. Especially when you were hangry, like me.

"What if he goes into heat?! He could seduce you into bed with him when I'm not around!" The princess shouted again.

Honestly, that one was insulting. Firstly, I can control my own heat, thank you. Secondly, there was no way I would seduce anyone into my bed. Especially this jerk of an alpha. Thirdly, even if I did- god forbid, he IS my husband. I had the right.

I sighed and crossed my arms to my chest. "I can handle my heat just fine, miss. It's not like I'm a prostitute who would spread my legs to any guy. Much less using my heat to seduce an alpha."

They ignored me and locked their eyes onto each other. That made my heart ache a little.

"If you don't like him, I'll dismiss him now," he coaxed.

"Excuse me?" I tried to voice my thought, but got ignored again.

"Wait!" After spouting that one word, he disappeared to the second floor. That left me with the female alpha alone. She was staring at me with a deathly glare as if I was going to snatch her boyfriend away. Which I did... and kind of not. Now, I'm confused whether it's me who snatched him from her, or if it was her who snatched away my husband from me. But, that sounded so pathetic on my part because he didn't even want me at all.

Zephyr then hurriedly slid down the stairs and handed me a bundle of keys. I stared blankly at him, wondering what he wanted me to do with the keys. He groaned in annoyance and tossed the keys to me. I caught the keys and still looked at him in confusion.

"Take this keys and moved out of the house."

"What?" I guessed I heard him wrong.

"It's the keys to my old apartment. I give you permission to use my apartment temporarily until you find your own place. Just keep this as a secret from Granddad and I'm sure he won't suspect anything. You can have the whole place to you now," he said with an obvious arrogance in his face. "I'll text you the address."

Wow. Just... wow. He was really quick on kicking me out, huh? I exhaled a long sigh out of my lungs and wordlessly stepped into my room. I felt like there was a lump in my throat, but I didn't know whether it was from my anger or my disappointment. I should report this to Master Blakesley, but I was too tired and hurt to talk to anyone right now.

Without wasting any time, I had my things packed ー which was done very quickly because I had not much stuffs belonged to me in the first place. After I was done, I quickly picked up my backpack and hang it on my shoulder. I took a last look around my room, and quickly closed the door.

The two idiots were no longer around when I went out. I groaned inwardly. How would he text me the address when he didn't even had my number? I quickened my pace to the door.

Well, farewell, lovebirds. I hope you guys were happy together. At least, I wouldn't have to deal with you idiots anymore.

Shoot! I forgot that I didn't have his number! I groaned lazily while massaging my head. My hands gently stroking Vanessa who was lying comfortably on my chest. She kissed my pectorals and looked up. My heart squeezed at how sexy she looked right now.

"What's wrong, babe? Thinking about that omega earlier?"

I shook my head and simply smiled. My hand reached out for my phone which was resting on the end table beside the bed. I texted Jason, telling him to send the address to my apartment to the omega.

Vanessa was pouting, and she told me that she didn't like the omega one bit. She was asking me if I was interested in the omega. Hell no! I clearly and firmly told Vanessa that I was still disgusted at any omega. She knew that.

Hearing my words, Vanessa squirmed between my arm and smiled in satisfaction. She was like me, having dislikes on omega. Although the reason was different from me.

Vanessa was raised in a family of alpha, who hated omega. They thought of omega as inconvenient (more bluntly, useless), because omega was more inferior among the three genders. Omegas were physically and mentally weaker than the other two genders. They had heat each month, and their pheromones always attracted alphas ans sometimes betas. Not to mention that omega was only good at being the breeding tools.

I've never found Vanessa's family hate towards omega unreasonable. Frankly speaking, in this world, there were a lot of alpha that had the same thought. Maybe there were a few countries who had different opinions, but not this country, at least.

By the way, my hate for omega was more at how they always shamelessly flirting and seducing alphas. Let's just say that my childhood and youth was filled with omega that acted no less than sluts.

Before I met Vanessa, back when I was 12, I had an omega as a fiancee. I loved him, more than my own life. We were childhood friends, we grew up together. I had always had a crush on him, so when Granddad told me his plan to make him my betrothed, I was enthralled and excited.

During the engagement period, we remained good friends. I even thought that he was my soulmate. My days went by with joy and happiness as long as he was by my side.

But I guess, good moments would never last. When I was told that he was not well and had to be sent to the infirmary, I was crazily worried. I skipped my class and ran to him. Then, there he was. Happily rocking under the school nurse. I was frozen. He saw me, but he didn't say anything. Only smiling. In satisfaction.

His pheromones was mixing with the alpha nurse's, filling every inch of the room. As an alpha, I was caught in it too. I couldn't forgive myself for jerking off of them right there and then, while watching my own fiancee screwing the 20 years older school nurse. I was disgusted of his scent, of him, of them... and of me. We were 14 at that time, by the way.

We broke up, of course. He didn't say anything. Not even a single word of apology. We never saw each other after that. None of us say anything to anyone and each other. Granddad was disappointed, of course. But he complied with my wishes without poking any further.

After that, I grew up splendidly as a dominant alpha. Being that, and also a wealthy heir of a well-known huge conglomerate made me the most desirable partner for anybody, especially omegas.

But, what's the use of that when I had to live my life with someone that wouldn't even look at me as the simple me?

That was why, meeting Vanessa was a miracle. She was an excellent alpha, clever, dominant and powerful. Her family was on par with mine, if not slightly lower in position. That was why she was never interested with my position. I know that she always acted like a spoiled princess, but when push comes to shove, she was rational and charismatic.

She didn't really care about what was behind my name. She had only see me as... me.

Only Zephyr.

That was how we could still stay strong for eight whole years. However, Granddad would never approve her. It was frustrating. In his eyes, Vanessa was flawed. She was not enough. She tried to get on Granddad's good side a few times, but failed. He was set on to get rid of her from my life.

Maybe that was why he picked up that filthy omega who had nothing on his name, to be my spouse. I could just refused or ran away rather than marrying that omega, but I couldn't. I loved Granddad. He was my only family. No matter how many times he hurt me, I could never hate him.

But not that omega.

I was pretty sure he had manipulate my kind Granddad to let him enter our household. After all, omegas were all the same slutty creatures.
