Chương 93: End of Chapter 29
There was a pinch in his brow, a rush as he moved forward, scent simmering into sweetness, a rush of pretty cold, fresh frosty air. His scent transformed into a beguiling lure as if confidence seasoned his every action. He stood before her, smiling, dimpled and pretty. A deliberation roaring in his eyes as he regarded her, as if a plan had already formed in his mind, as if her decisions were premeditated. "Rue," he finally used her name, "elite Alphas detest Omegas. They don't need them; they don't want them. They only use them when they have to. What do you think will happen when everyone on Hakon learns of the truth?"
"You wouldn't."
"I won't have to," he answered with a smile, "what did you plan to do? Hide the truth forever? You'll expose yourself eventually without those drugs, and fall apart in class. You'll be taken by those Alphas who do not have an ounce of self-control. If you're irresistible to us, you will be ambrosia to the others. They will eat you alive."
"You don't know that."
"It's the truth. Why else would I accuse you of spiking the slick? I've never tasted an Omega quite as enticing as you are," He smiled pleasantly at her, as if she were a child, as if she didn't know better. "I commend you for fooling everyone, for fooling us, but eventually it wouldn't have been possible for you to continue on. You'll just have to give up on those dreams." His words burned, burned and tore into her heart like a dagger, and he did so looking like a gorgeous monster. "You'll be much happier, pupped and cared for by the strongest, richest Alphas in the world."
And Rue understood now, understood in the bite of his words, the difference from when he thought her to be Alpha. That because she was Omega he didn't even plan to claim her, didn't want to sink his teeth into her neck and allow her entry into his pack as his only Omega. Because that was beneath him, that was something a zeus could never do, an emperor could never do.
Even now when her eyes swept across the group, she noted the hints of prejudice burning in their eyes. The looks on their face as if Dante's words tumbled from their hearts. No disagreement erupted from their lips, no horrified gasp, instead acceptance shone in their eyes, and hope dripped from their gaze as if her understanding would settle all problems.
It was as if she were only worth that much to them.
And maybe she was.
"You've got to be kidding me," she whispered. "You don't even want me in your pack anymore just because I'm an Omega." Dante's godly expression faltered. It was a shift as if she had just unlocked his truth. And the six other assholes remained quiet and enabling.
"It wouldn't be proper," he agreed softly. "Emperors are expected to try multiple times, to have hundreds of heirs. The seven of us could never be faithful to just one Omega. And you must know how the odds dip lower once an Alpha's mated to an Omega, and his body's changed for that Omega. Historically, it's the reason why the elite don't have Omegas in their pack—"
"You're a fucking asshole, aren't you?" she laughed, laughed at his stupid fucking face, at his fantasies. "I'm not listening to your bullshit."
"You'll understand," Dante told her, with a shrug. "A few days here will do the trick." He turned to Levi then, nodded as if he didn't fucking care. "You may use our home in planet 23. The trees won't die with just a couple of days in the dark."
Levi hummed, clearing his throat. "Dante…Perhaps, we should give her some time."
"She'll have all the time she needs, safe in here away from others." Dante stepped back then, and regarded Levi with a lower voice, an Alpha's command, a call that stretched and swept at her, like a weight on her shoulders, like an itch of her heart. "Keep her here," Dante ordered. It had Levi stiffening, his lips pursed into a thin line.
"Fine," Levi grouched, head hung low. "Don't blame me when you regret it."
"We won't," Dante beamed, stepping back as if anticipating the rush of freedom from the shadows. He smiled sweetly. "Let us depart."
It was then that her heart stirred, roared as she regarded the six. The way they seemed unable to speak against Dante's word, the way they sagged against the command. And the way the call felt familiar, drenched her being and urged her towards a better direction.
And inside her, something bubbled in her chest, started warm in her belly, grew and expanded into her muscles, stretching like a glowing warmth, a roar of glittering stardust and gold. There was no fatigue now with its arrival, only giddy adrenaline that animated her body, invigorated her mind, and turned her into something beyond her capabilities. It was the feeling that ran through her veins when she protected herself, only now boosted tenfold. And it felt as if she understood what it was, the potential she had, the reason for why she'd survived for this long.
A voice of power.
"No."
Dante turned to her then, a curious raise of his brow.
"You," her gaze swept to Levi, lips moving, "will let me free."
Dante's mouth sagged open into a gag of surprise, panic seizing in his breath. And suddenly, vertigo swept through her vision, the darkness swallowing into a pinpoint and then blossoming into colour. She stumbled, back inside the elevator, with Levi staring at her wide-eyed and twitching before her and the others lingering at the door to their dormitory.
Levi spluttered, holding his head, eyes wide as he regarded her with newfound respect. "W-what the fuck?"
"Don't let her go!" Pure panic swept from Dante's lips, shock swirling from his breath as he stormed forward in a rush of purple electricity. The scene was replaying and suddenly there was no easy confidence, no laidback waiting. Suddenly, all seven were moving forward, running with hands outreached, with terror colouring their cheeks.
How fucking stupid.
"Stop."
And they did, stuttering to a halt like soldiers, eyes wide and horrified. Dante's terror seemed to spill from his lips, a wave of reasoning, of attempts to make sense of the situation. He blabbered. "She has an Alpha's command without a claim? How the fuck is that possible—She's not our—This isn't real—"
Altair snorted, exhaled breath, but a smirk grew on his cheeks. "She's stronger than you babe, you fucked up."
And Halcyon seemed to smile, bold, brazen, needy. "She's so hot, isn't she?"
Valentino nodded, too frozen to be her doing, standing far too straight it was almost as if he were leaning into her command. "I told you we had to be careful, damn it. Halcyon and I struggled with her commands for years."
Seraphim flushed then. "What do you think will happen when she sinks her teeth into our necks?"
Kieran laughed, sparkles glittering in the light. "Guess, we'll cum on command."
Dante spluttered, almost desperate to regain control. And he was berserk with it, transformed from the calm smiling bastard into a panicky little shit. He roared, shaking against her command, red-faced and dewy. "Let us go." He snarled. "Omega, you will let us go—"
"Kneel," she hissed, and he choked, air wheezing from his lungs, eyes wide. The rest stumbled to their knees immediately, but Dante sank, slow and horrified to the ground. He stared at her then, gorgeous face a wreck of understanding of knowledge, that there was nothing he could do to her. And Rue smiled, smiled at the humiliation that bit into his fucking ass, the embarrassment that burned in his cheeks. His clouds had transformed into pitiful little droplets of rain, soaking his cheeks.
Levi spoke then, hissing a laugh. "Gods Rue, darling. You didn't have to use it on all of us. I'd kneel for you anytime." She ignored him, chose to glare at Dante and sneered at his power-hungry face.
"I don't want to listen to your bullshit," Rue snapped, middle finger shot into the air, aimed in their direction. "Don't want to see your fucking faces ever again. I want you to fuck off, pretend nothing happened and leave me alone."
Halcyon's eyes widened at that. "Shit, Rue! You don't mean that do you—"
"Goodbye motherfuckers," she saluted with a hiss. "Come back to me only when you care about Omega rights, and treat your mothers well, misogynistic trash."
Her fingers swept to the buttons and stabbed for the ground floor to the wails of her so-called soulmates. A whimsical ding resounded as the door snapped shut in the faces of the seven emperors in the universe. And Rue was gone.
