Chapter 2
It's not like the thought of him mating with an alpha has never crossed Kouki's mind before. It has, once, when his friend had asked him about his "ideal alpha". The thought stayed in Kouki's mind for a minute too long, before falling apart like how the leaves in fall would wither and die when it comes to an age. Kouki doesn't want a mate, but if life absolutely forces him to get one- then he would have chosen someone much like his father. Someone who is warm, with voice as alluring as the fresh breathe of morning air.
Not once has the thought of being an Akashi's mate ever crossed his mind. The chance of him for ever becoming one should have been zero, non.
But no. Fate just had to play with him again (fate seems to do that a lot with him lately). Not only was he born as a defected omega, he was also tied to the epitome of alpha himself.
He couldn't understand, couldn't come up with any answers as to for why, out of so many young, eager, passionate omegas, has fate chosen him to be with Akashi Seijirou, he couldn't understand just why would anyone as plain and as weak (even in omegas' standard) as him is fated to be with someone like Akashi, a strong and respectful Alpha, whose mere presence could make even the highest rank of alpha to bow under him. So many whys on his mind, but none of them really matters now.
Kouki's eyes could see that he has found his mate; he couldn't exactly recognize the bond like any of the alphas here could, but somehow, he knows. Kouki is Akashi Seijirou's.
He could see it from the ways those red yellow eyes darken, and could feel the wavering pressure from the way the alpha was staring at him, he was pretty sure that the alpha was trying to make this very obvious.
Kouki trembled. Legs shook as he moved backwards, slowly retreating as the older omega began to call the other names to come up to the stage. He couldn't believe it. Perhaps, no one here could, seeing they way their eyes was still glued on him, eyes narrowing, judgingly, as he tripped a bit (quite ungracefully), before positioning himself in the middle of the other omegas line.
Akashi Seijirou is now his mate. 10 more omegas name to call, and then the celebration would be over. Akashi would come, just like any other alphas that have found their mates, to claim him. He would have to leave, his mother, his father, his village, his friends. He would have to stay, chained perhaps, if he refused right away.
He could feel the envious stares. Obviously the other omegas could all feel the tension, the heat, flaring from the red alpha. They looked at Kouki with bitterness so visible that he could almost choke at them. Some of them even gritted out one or two hateful "crippled" at him.
He wish that he could undo whatever bond they have, and just throw it all away right at those hungry omegas around him.
He doesn't want this.
He doesn't want him.
Run.
He should run, go home and hide, far away from here, and from his gaze.
Kouki froze.
It was as if Akashi knows what Kouki was trying to do, even before the brunette knows it himself. Which was impossible, since no omegas in their right mind have ever attempted or even thought about escaping from their mates' grasps. Except for incomplete omegas.
The redhead gazed at him with so much intensity that it froze Kouki, all over, like freezing ice-cold water; it rendered Kouki speechless, and still like a statue. Suddenly the mere thought of standing close to the Akashi frighten him, even more so than the thought of being mated.
Impossible. Does Akashi know that Kouki is an incomplete omega? Sure, Kouki doesn't have the sweet smell of a heated normal omega (sweet pheromone that they let out every once in a year in their heat), but with so many omegas standing here, it should have been impossible to track Kouki's non-existent scents.
Kouki gulped, his eyes quivered in complete submission as the redhead continued to gaze at him, with those same forces that make Kouki trembled. Those same eyes that looked at him as if Kouki washis, and it unnerved him, that every time he looked back at the redhead, those eyes stay glued on him. Kouki felt naked, never in his life has he ever felt this exposed before. The red alpha looked at him as if he knows everything that there is to know about Kouki, and he hated it, feared it, disliked it, so much that it hurts.
Like a bird kept in a cage, he was trapped.
Kouki knows that obeying is a nature to him; omegas would never be able defy an alpha's order. It was, after all, in every of their blood to submit to alphas, and the stronger the alpha is, the more submissive they would be, and in Kouki's case, or probably in all omegas' cases, Akashi's orders are absolute.
He was trapped.
Just one look at Akashi's eyes, and Kouki knows that running is no longer an option.
Do not run.
That look spoke louder than any other words that Kouki has ever heard, told with so much intensity that Kouki had no choice but to comply.
He watched with wide eyes as Akashi walked towards him, with steps so dominant that Kouki almost cowered in its presence. He looked down, unable to look up, afraid of angering the red alpha that now stood in front of him.
His legs shook, frowns deepened, as he tried his best to stay still under the redhead's mighty gaze.
Kouki could feel the weight of the alpha's fingers on his chin, forcing him to look up into the alpha's eyes- those red yellow eyes that had managed to trap him in the first place.
Akashi Seijirou would be the death of him.
Kouki could feel his trembling got even worse, chills running down his spines as brown eyes met with red and yellow.
"You are incomplete." It was a statement.
Kouki nodded shakily at the alpha, not trusting himself to speak.
The alpha looked at him, with face as stoic as a blank paper. His red and yellow eyes glinted in something that the brunette does not recognize, and just as fast as it appeared- it was gone in a second. And for a while, they stared, eyes glued on one another's.
Kouki doesn't know why but he felt like a lab rat under the redhead's gaze.
He could feel the alpha's fingers pushing, tilting Kouki's head to the side, as the redhead moved to lean in to his neck. The omega tensed. Waiting, waiting for what, he did not know. He felt an arm wrapping itself so tightly around his waist, as if to say that it was meant to keep him forever.
Akashi Seijirou would be the death of him.
Kouki bit his lips, trying to stop himself from breathing in fear of angering the alpha that now decided that it would be in his best interest to continue to further scare his trembling omega mate by resting his chin on the brunette's shoulder.
Kouki flinched.
Did Akashi just bite his neck?
Kouki looked at his alpha, with shock and disbelief written so clearly on his face.
He could still feel the weight of Akashi's thumbs and forefingers resting on his chin, while his other left arms wrapping so neatly around his back.
…The pain of the bite left burning on the right side of his neck.
I'll go back to this chapter as soon as I can and will probably do a bit of editing here and there.
Oh, and just a question. Should I change it to M-rated story? or should I just keep the story clean?
