"I’ll live," he muttered.

We sat there for a moment, and then I saw a short omega with long chestnut hair approach. I’d seen him dancing with Sean before. He walked past us, glanced at me, then at Soren, and smiled warmly.

"Hey, Soren, how are you?" he greeted.

"Hey, May. I'm okay, and you?"

Wow! I immediately recognized him as one of Soren's patrons! I knew the omega's name was May, and the beta, his other patron, was Ed. Interestingly, he seemed to know who I was, but apparently wasn’t worried about me because he walked past us with a smile and continued on his way. I swallowed nervously, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Soren threw me a brief, but probing look. Finally, after a moment of hesitation, I asked, "What services do you provide for May? Hj or bj?"

He rolled his eyes. "Seriously? That's none of your business."

I was silent for a moment, then blurted out, "Do you… fuck him?"

Soren snorted with a rather aggressive laugh, a rare sound from him.

"I wouldn't be able to handle that without some pill to help."

I blinked, not understanding what he meant. "How… why… what?"

He rolled his eyes again. "You're a bit slow, huh? I told you already. I’m a total bottom, Skye," he said it with a strange emphasis. "Isn’t it obvious to you by now?"

Gaping, I stared at him, with my dick already painfully hard.

"I don't get turned on by omegas. I’m not attracted to them in any way, shape, or form. Nothing. Zilch. Nada."

Slowly, I felt my cheeks warming.

"Besides, May doesn't expect that," he continued. "He's waiting for a relationship; he doesn't want to lose his ass virginity like that. I only gave him hjs and bjs."

"And the beta? Do you also have a beta patron… Ed?"

He shrugged. "He might want it from time to time, but I have the same issue with betas as with omegas. I’m not attracted to them, not in the slightest. I used a dildo on him whenever he wished, but usually also hjs or bjs."

I was silent. For some reason, the fact that they weren’t alphas was easier for me to swallow. But still, it wasn’t a pleasant feeling, the thought… that he was taking them into his beautiful, soft lips.

"You're really attracted only to alphas?" I whispered.

He sighed impatiently. "I think that’s pretty clear from what I said."

"I wasn’t sure; maybe before Anton, you tried dating a beta. That’s why I asked. Sometimes, people need time to figure things out."

"Anton was my first and only boyfriend. I've never had penetrative sex with anyone else. Don is the only other person, but that wasn't consensual," he snarled.

I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

"You only slept with Anton? Really?" This almost shocked me. With his attractiveness, it seemed unfathomable.

"Why the wide eyes? Because I was in the Kingdom of Promises?" Soren looked annoyed.

"No, it’s not that. It’s just that you’re very, very attractive."

He scoffed in irritation. Our convo seemed to have really miffed him.

"So what? Does that automatically mean I’ve slept with a bunch of people?"

Now I felt stupid. "No, of course not, Soren."
