Page 3 of Wild Omega

“Alphas don’t like it when you berate them and point out their flaws, especially because you’re an omega. We’re expected to submit,”he’d warned.

“Not this omega,”Blaine had replied flippantly.

But this omega was about to be homeless… again.

Fuck… fuck… fuuuuuck! Blaine silently screamed. He stared at his connector, waiting anxiously. Holi was taking too long tocome back to him. Had Xaine refused to help him? Xaine was probably tired of his antics. He was an alpha, after all.

“Holi, listen…” Blaine said, just as Holi spoke.

“Xaine is sending Preat to come to fetch you. He’s a little busy right now. He’ll find you a commune house tomorrow,” Holi said. “I hope you don’t mind spending the night in my house.”

“No… I… don’t mind,” Blaine said awkwardly. “Holi?”

“Yeah?”

“Thank you.”

Holi went silent for a beat. “You don’t have to thank me. You’re my friend, remember?”

Yes. They were friends. But sometimes it felt unreal. Blaine couldn’t believe he’d made a friend like Holi, especially because they hadn’t liked each other when they’d met. But the omega somehow grew on him. Blaine had never met anyone who tolerated him like Holi did, except his family.

Well, they had no choice but to love him. The rest of the world didn’t. And it didn’t help that Blaine had a short fuse.

Blaine knew he had to change at some point in order for him to survive. But… fuck… he wasn’t there yet. He wished the damn planet were kind to omegas. He’d been fine when he was living with his family. He didn’t have to submit to anyone except his mother, who was a beta. Betas were softer and more loving than alphas. And his mother was a sweetheart. She spoiled them rotten with the little she could provide for them. She never treated them like omegas who didn’t have an opinion of their own. She loved it when Blaine and his siblings spoke their minds and she encouraged it.

But now the fucking world was telling him that he couldn’t be himself. That he had to bow and grovel at the feet of some filthy alphas who didn’t deserve the respect they demanded.

Fuck, he was getting worked up again. Blaine took a deep, calming breath.

“Preat is on his way, okay?” Holi said softly as if he could sense that he was getting emotional. “I’ll see you in a bit.”

“Okay,” Blaine said.

As soon as the connector went silent, Blaine got up. Dragging his case behind him, he walked out of the house. The alpha was nowhere to be seen. He was probably somewhere in the house, licking his wounds because Blaine hadn’t spared him.

Holi might think Blaine was impulsive, quick to anger and didn’t have a filter. But truth be told, he’d tried to make it work with this alpha, even though the alpha had been verbally abusive and treated Blaine like shit. Blaine had snapped. And the oaf couldn’t handle what Blaine dished out.

Blaine came to a stop at the end of the driveway and sat on his case to wait for Preat. Thirty minutes later, Preat arrived. Blaine didn’t waste time. He picked up his case and literally ran to the hover pod before it drifted to a stop. Preat opened the door for him from inside.

“Hi,” Blaine said as he got inside.

“Good evening. Is that all you have?” Preat asked, staring at his case.

“Yes,” Blaine said. He didn’t have a lot of possessions. For a while, Blaine wasn’t able to buy things for himself because he’d had to send most of his credit to his family. But since his three brothers had left home to live in commune houses across the planet, things were a little better. But by then Blaine was used to not buying things for himself. He only needed a few things anyway. As long as his clothes were in good condition, he was good. He saved most of his credit now.

For what, he didn’t know. He didn’t have big dreams of starting his own business or buying a house.

He just… he was drifting through life.

No wonder he’d felt like he was doing something worthwhile when he was living with Holi.

The hover pod drifted down the airway. Blaine stared out of the window at the bustling night life of the capital to stop himself from thinking. Thinking just made him feel bad about his situation.

When they arrived at the Covus mansion, he was surprised to find a line of hover pods parked in the long winding driveway. “Are they having a party?” he asked, staring at the well-dressed people getting out of their hover pods and walking to the door.

“Aaah… sort of,” Preat said.

Fuck. Why had Xaine and Holi allowed him to come here?
