Chapter 1
Outside of the town area you could find a small two-bedroom house. The house was a bit rundown, but the inside was all ways kept neat and clean. The house consisted of a small kitchen, with a small round table for three. One of the bedrooms is where all three sleep, while the other bedroom was turned into a studio. The studio was shared by the two older brothers, on one side all you could see was fabric, while the other side had art supplies. As the morning light started to roll in, the house occupants where getting ready for the day.
"It's time to wake up Yuki" said a blond hair blue eyed Omega as he got up from the bed that all three shared.
"Shut up I'm trying to sleep over here" said a dirty/silver blond hair hazel eyed, also Omega, boy on the other side of the shared bed.
"Well maybe if you had gone to bed earlier then you wouldn't be so tired Akihito" said the first blond
"It's not my fault that my current customer decided to put in some last minuet suggestions to the family portrait that I started on last week. So, get off my back Ewon" Akihito retorted back at his older brother.
"Please don't scream" said the youngest brother a petite blond hair blue eyed boy, as he stands in between his much taller brothers.
"Sorry Yuki it was a long night" said Akihito as he got out of bed.
"Yeah, I'm sorry for scaring you. Let's go make some breakfast before we head out" said Ewon as he motioned Yukiya to follow him to the small kitchen. "I just got some left-over fabric from an order, would you like a new kimono. You can wear it for your birthday"
"Thank you I would love that very much" said Yukiya as he started to braid his blond hair to the side.
The brothers didn't have much, but they never need much to be happy as long as they had each other. In the five years that they lived in this town the two older brothers got to working as soon as they could. Ewon took on an apprenticeship with the local tailor, at the time he didn't have the money to pay it but the tailor told him to repay him with hard work instead. Akihito took up painting as a hobby that soon turned into his passion, one day at the market as he was trying to sell his work an artisan took a liking to his paintings and took him on as his pupil. As for Yukiya he was told to stay out of trouble, so he would go to Hiroki's house to help him with the kids, and then one day he asked Nowaki, Hiroki's Alpha, to teach him a bit about herbs to help his brothers out when they are in heat and unable to go out.
That's another reason we all live a bit outside of the town, so they won't find out about us being Omegas. Omegas were shunned and were not allowed to own land or work seeing how they were only believed to exist to follow an Alpha. Then there were Betas they were neither shunned or held in high regards like Alphas, they were truly free from social expectation. They could work, own land, have children, and they were never hunted by slave trader like most lonely Omegas where. When we first ran into Nowaki and Hiroki they decided to help us out. It was rear for an Omega to be able to find their life mate, they were almost always forced by an Alpha to mate. Even when they are not life mates, so it was a shock when we ran into a pair that are life mates, and they gave us hope.
Nowaki gave us tea with herbs that will hide our scents as Omegas then me and Ewon started to wear dark colored wigs, mostly because light hair like ours is a foreign look. And that would make us stand out more then smelling like an Omega. We all changed our last names and told people that we were cousins and relatives of Nowaki. I go by Akihito Takaba, my elder brother goes by Ewon Jung, and our youngest goes by Yukiya Ayase. We tend to keep Yukiya inside because even if we claim to be Beta's, he clearly looks like an Omega with his doll like features.
"I will make the tea" said Akihito as he walked in dressed for the day in fitted pants tucked into boots and a loose long-sleeved shirt. On his head was a dark colored wig that has long bangs that almost cover his eyes.
"Thank you Aki I'm going to go get dressed then" said Yukiya.
"So, what are you getting Yuki for his birthday next week" asked Ewon.
"I'm thinking about getting him an herb bag so when he goes to pick them he has some where to put them" said Akihito as he poured the tea for them.
"I'm going to make him a new kimono, I have some fabric left over from a high paying customer. So, it's high quality fabric" said Ewon as he ate and drank the tea.
"Ewon get ready so we can head out" Yukiya said as he stepped out of the room in a simple green kimono and blue obi.
"Okay, give me a few" he replied as he got dressed in a more stylish form fitted pants then Akihito, with a tight shirt under a dress jacket. On his head was also a wig similar to Akihito, only his wasn't so long in the bangs area.
"Okay let's go before Hiroki decided to kill Nowaki" Akihito said to Yukiya then he turned to Ewon "Have a good day at work"
"Yes, work hard big brother" said Yukiya as they exited the house and headed in different directions. Yukiya had on a hooded cloak long enough for him not to trip over, but enough to cover him.
Akihito and Yukiya walked for about 15 minutes before they reached a two-story house where the bottom part acted as Nowaki's clinic, and the top half was their actual living area. The top had 4 bedrooms a living area and a modest kitchen. The bottom half has an office, a small sitting area, and two private rooms for patients. Nowaki also had a storage room full of medicine and herbs. The two boys walked around to the back entrance that led to the upper half.
As soon as they made it to the door they both heard Hiroki's voice most likely telling the twins to leave the other kids alone. When we met the pair Hiroki was heavily pregnant with their first child or so they thought until the twins were born. Kenji the older boy twin looks like Nowaki, but with time they would find out that he acts a lot like Hiroki when provoked. Kimiko the younger girl twin took after Hiroki in looks, but always stayed calm like her father. When both twins decided they were bored they would often cause trouble for everyone. A few months after the twins were born, Hiroki got pregnant with Riku. Through out the second pregnancy Hiroki worried a lot as he got bigger because he didn't feel the baby move like with the twins, so he worried that Riku may not live. When Riku was born he was so quiet, that everyone worried about him until he cried out in hunger. Riku has Nowaki's eyes but Hiroki's features even the same hair color, he was never a problem and only cried out when hungry. Somehow Hiroki got pregnant again and this time it was because he wanted too, in the previous two pregnancies Nowaki had to talk Hiroki into it. Hiroki gave birth to a baby girl named Hemino, she took after Nowaki in looks and is a regular charter box, but smart and always up to something. Tamaki only happened because Hiroki got jealous of one of Nowaki's patients. Tamaki being the current baby will get himself into trouble and fall a lot. So, now here is Hiroki opening the door yet again pregnant and almost due any day.
"Come on in you two" he said as he motioned us inside "I really need the help right now, I swear this is the last baby I'm ever having in my life. I'm getting to old for this"
"Come on your not even 30 yet" Akihito said trying to cheer up Hiroki
"I know, and I love them all but, if I let Nowaki get his way every time then I will end up having a kid every year until I can't have anymore" he said while stroking his bulging stomach.
"Come on let's get you to relax, leave the kids to me and Yukiya" as I said this I turn to look at my brother at the bottom of all the kids as the piled-on top of him.
"Come on kids let uncle Yuki breath" said Hiroki as he walked out of the room.
'I hope that Ewon is having a good time at work' Akihito thought as he saved Yukiya from the kids.
In the back of a tailor shop, like every evening you can find Ewon working on creating new clothing styles. Although this time around he was busy working on a new kimono for Yukiya's birthday. The high quality fabric a baby blue color that is being made into a kimono and a vibrant yellow obi. It would be a few more days before it would be finished but in time for his birthday.
"Ewon, the sun is setting you can go for the day" said the old tailor from the door frame "here I have a few silver beads that you can sew into the sleeves as decoration"
"Thank you so much" I said as I set the fabric aside.
"No problem all of these matireals would have gone to waste, if you didn't put it all to good use" he said as he walked away.
Soon enough we closed up, I walked down the street and greeted people on my way to Nowaki's clinic. Luckily it was only a ten minute walk, when I got to the back door Nowaki was also there ready to go up.
"How was your day today" he said as I got closer.
"Good just some adjustment and patching, nothing to big. How about you" I asked as we walked up the stairs.
"Just some check ups nothing to major. All though I do have some news that everyone needs to hear" he said as he let me in. I moved aside as all the kids ran to jump on Nowaki all talking at the same time. As soon as all the kids were off of him he went to Hiroki's side, to give him a kiss much to the others embarrassment. "Lets all eat then I will tell everyone the news" Soon diner was eaten and some of the kids were fighting sleep.
"Daddy, I have something to tell you man to man" said a determined Kenji as he looked at Nowaki while the others hid their smiles at his adorable determination.
"Okay, and what would that be" Nowaki asked with a smile on his face.
Kenji went to stand next to Yukiya, and what he said next surprised everyone. "I have decided that Uncle Yuki will be my bride" Kenji said as he took Yukiya's hand.
Everyone was so surprised that they didn't know what to say, but Nowaki acted first. "Is that so" he asked his son.
"Yes because he is pretty and smells nice" he answered his father.
"Alright but your have to grow up to be as tall as I am before you make him your bride and then work even more hard to make Yuki happy" Nowaki said to his son with a smile.
"Then I will start working right now" he said with determination.
"But before that you need sleep little man" said Hiroki with a smile.
"Okay, mom but I won't give up uncle Yuki" he said as he left making everyone laugh.
"Now that the kids are all asleep I should tell you the news I heard today" said Nowaki from the chair by Hiroki. "The Royal army will be passing by here maybe by next week"
"Don't worry about us we will keep our heads down" said Ewon.
"Yeah low to the ground" added Akihito as he turned to Yukiya "That means no going out by yourself okay"
"I promise I will stay close by while they are around" said Yukiya with a smile 'what could happen anyways' he thought.
