Uval Luluu, a beautiful alpha demon heiress. She comes from a great noble family, has money, prestige and position. Not to mention she is already of Gimel rank. She has everything she would ever need or want… well, almost everything. The only thing she has been unable to obtain was Asmodeus Alice. The most sought out after omega in noble society. Not only was he breathtakingly beautiful, he comes from one of the oldest and most prestigious families in the demon world's history. Not to mention he is of Daleth rank!
He was perfect and the only prospective mate in her eyes. She wanted him, she desired him with fervor. But no matter how much her dad tired, he was never granted an audience with Asmodeus Amaryllis-sama. And every mating gift she sent was returned without even being opened. But Luluu is not giving up, her father told her that Asmodeus-sama was going to assist to the next Devilam and it might be the last chance she has to make a good impression. After all, rumor has it that he was getting too close to an alpha demon from his class. But Luluu did not care about that, she was going to win him over and make him forget that little runt of an alpha.
During her daydreaming Uval did not notice that her beloved Asmodeus-sama had entered the ballroom, causing a huge uproar.
"That's the Asmodeus heir!" a demon whispered, "Who is that alpha escorting him?"
"Isn't that Sullivan-sama's servant?!" another one hissed "What is he doing attending them?"
"Didn't you hear?! That's Iruma Suzuki! He was one of the heroes of Walter Park" a female demon berated her husband "Lord Sullivan appeared in the news saying how his grandson and his classmates saved the day!"
"So, the rumors of him having a grandson are real?!" the husband replied, shocked "But he had no child!"
"Surely, he is blood adopted" another one joined the conversation "You can smell Sullivan-sama's claim on the boy. And look at the power coming off him, no wonder Sullivan-sama adopted him."
"Is that a Daleth badge? And look at his poise, Lord Sullivan got a good heir on him" the wife commented.
"And Asmodeus-san looks good hanging off his arm" the husband added.
"Alice-chan! Iruma-chan!" Asmodeus Amaryllis called out, with a beaming smile. Her plan was working out perfectly! All that there was left to do was whisper here and there about Iruma's great achievements "You both look lovely!" she cheered "Matching and all! And that gorgon snake hair piece hanging from a bang is just lovely, Alice-chan!"
"Thank you, mother," Iruma replied, with a small blush, making the whole ballroom descent into silence.
He wanted to wince and hide away; he was already having a bad time with all the stared and whispered without the silence and everyone's attention focused on them. But Iruma also knew that he could not hide away, that he was representing not only his grandfather but also the Asmodeus family in part. He was married to their heir… or will he be ex-heir once Iruma takes the throne? It doesn't matter now.
So, giving it his all he straightened his back and exuded as much confidence as he could. What he did not realize was that he was leaking alpha pheromones all over the place. In demon culture that's is only done when a demon wanted to make a statement, stake a claim or show off their power. Iruma's bold move could be considered all three. Making a statement that this might be his first time in demon noble society, but he was there to stay. Staking a claim on his omega and his omega's family. And showing off his superiority as an alpha and heir to one of the three hero's family. Rendering the rest of the demons speechless. Where once should have been more murmuring and stounded whispers, only reign dumfounded silence.
Amaryllis' smile turned sharp; she had made the right choice on son-in-law. Alice on his part was about to swoon, his alpha is the greatest!
"Iruma chose it just for me" Alice purred, playing with the hair piece slightly, before, purposefully, adjusting the collar of his suit so everyone eavesdropping could see the mating mark on his neck.
"The Asmodeus Household and Lord Sullivan joined!" many gasped in shock, not believing such a big union happened beneath their noses.
"Nii-sama! Iruma-sama!" both Viole and Lily Asmodeus joined the group that had everyone's attention, as if nothing was happening around them "We've missed you!"
The called out for both of them, but only hugged the young alpha. Which had Amaryllis laughing happily and Alice grumbling about annoying sisters that could not learn not to touch what belonged to others.
"As lively as always" commented a familiar voice with amusement, as she joined the group as well.
Every demon watched in stunned silence as Azazel Amelie joined and chatted with the newly bonded couple as if they were old friends. Just how many strong households were bonding?!
"Then, we better get going" Amaryllis cheered, taking Iruma by the arm "Amelie, darling, keep an eye on Alice-chan for us, please" she said, before dragging a struggling Iruma away to mingle with the Netherworld's high society.
"Alice-sama…" began Opera but was cut off by Alice.
"Just go" he sighed "Keep an eye on mother and help my alpha, David will stay with me."
"Thank you" the beastlike demon bowed, before rushing after his master.
"That mother of mine…" he lamented.
"She never changes" Amelie chuckled in amusement.
"That's mother for you!" the Asmodeus sisters chimed together.
Just as the group was chatting happily, Luluu finally snapped out of her daydream and excitedly marched towards her target. For a reason no one was daring to reach the Asmodeus omega, even tough it is rare to find him without his mother in official events. Even her entourage was trying to stop her, but she paid them no heed.
"Pleased to meet you, Asmodeus Alice-sama!" Luluu proudly said, bowing slightly.
Alice groaned under his breath: "Not her again."
Amelie looked at the young omega curiously, noting how his sisters and David tensed at the alpha's presence, and decided to put her guard up. Amaryllis left her son in her charge, and Amelie will not disappoint.
"My name is Uval Luluu!" the demon paid no heed to the darkening expressions of the Asmodeus family members "I've heard a lot about you Alice-sama! Your achievements at Walter Park were especially impressive! It's an honor to be able to meet you in person!" she then turned to the girl carrying the champagne glasses and glared "Hey, you! Bring them to us!"
Ok, enough is enough! Alice growled in his head. Not only has she been harassing him for years but now she has started to target another person. An omega at that! How am I supposed to see her as a possible mate if she acts like that towards other omegas?
There would have been a moment in which he would have not cared for something like that. But now that he has meet and mated with Iruma-sama he has learned that there's a better way. And that rank does not show the true potential of every demon. Iruma and the misfit class the perfect example for that.
So, controlled by anger Alice stepped around the foul alpha and dragged the other omega to the dancefloor.
"As-asmodeus-sama" stuttered the omega, thankful for the rescue but embarrassed as well "I'm sorry… dancing with a rank Aleph like me… must have been a nuisance for Asmodeus-sama…"
Alice's expression softened at her words and replied: "Someone who I respect very much… was once an Aleph rank as well."
"What?" the demon asked, surprised.
"I also think that rank is something very important" he continued, with a fond smile "But I know demons who keep moving forward, without worrying about their rank. Your worth is not only your rank. It already shows, in your beautiful dancing."
The both finished the dance beautifully, the female omega beaming at the praise, not only from Asmodeus-sama but also from other demons.
"You were so great!"
"Your dress is cute!"
Alice smiled satisfied at a job well done and turned back to his group, only to find an exquisite scene. Uval on the ground trembling in fear, while Viola, Lily and Amelie looked in pride and excitement as Iruma smiled sharply at the pitiful alpha. He then turned and headed towards his omega.
"That was a wonderful dance!" the alpha beamed at Alice.
"Thank you" the pinkhaired demon replied, blushing pleased at the praise.
"Would you allow me a piece too?" he asked politely.
"I would be honored" Alice replied, excitedly.
And so, the bonded pair danced the night away, showing off the perfect pair they were. And for those who previously lusted after Alice, they've learned from Uval's mistake. They didn't think of even approaching the omega, too afraid of angering his alpha.
