Chapter 1
*Adrian's P.O.V*
Coming home from a long day of volunteering at a homeless shelter, Adrian didn't expect to be guided to his father's quarters. Immediately Adrian stiffened at this, knowing it was going to be something crucial.
Following his butler Fitz to the main corridor of the castle where his father's quarters lied. Adrian gulped, gripping his phone tight in his hands as he stared at the door.
"Shall I open it for you, Master Adrian?" Fitz asked.
Adrian shook his head. "No. I'll do it. You are relieved, Fitz." He shooed the butler away with his hand, ignoring the huffy breath Fitz took.
Adrian stared at the door with skeptical eyes. He knows whatever was going to be discussed beyond this door wasn't what he wanted to hear. Being the eldest of this family he has a lot of responsibilities. Ones he didn't care for. His little sister was only 14 and his younger brother was merely 18. He was 26 which meant he had a lot to live up to.
Sucking in a breath, Adrian reached for the door and opened it. The smell of his father's pheromones was the first thing he noted when he took his first few steps in. Adrian went still when his father's scent started growing at the sound of the door closing behind him.
"Ah, Adrian. There you are, come here." He says, his voice strong.
Adrian willed himself to move, walking over to the chair and taking a seat. "You requested me?" He asked.
His father looked up from his paperwork, his salt and pepper beard was in its normal braid with jewels hanging from it. His stern blue eyes held more anger than he was exuding and from the small wrinkles in his face that were more defined, Adrian knew this was going to be a talk even he didn't want to hear.
His father shifted in his seat so that he was leaned back in his chair with his hands resting on his gut. "The time has come for you to be Wed, my boy. And despite the argument I had with the state, church and your mother, I fear you will be in an arranged marriage with another kingdom." He explained.
Adrian gripped his pants, his palms growing sweaty. "What Kingdom?" Adrian asked, unaware that his voice was shaking.
His father looked down at the paper, scowling at the words. "Cretis."
Adrian shot up from his chair, knocking the chair to the ground behind him. "What?! But Prince Leo is an Alpha!" He snapped.
His father didn't look at all surprised by this outburst. He understands the heavy danger this will prove to give in the future. "I know. I tried to deter them towards an Omega family or even a Beta family, but they denied me. A king of his country didn't have any say in who you married. Can you believe the nerve the church and state have?!" His father's pheromones spiked, causing the docile hormones of the Omega within Adrian to whimper as he backed away from the desk.
His father sighed, relaxing slightly. "Its been done. The wedding is scheduled in 2 weeks. It's not a lot of time for preparation but both states and kingdoms want to rush the wedding so nothing gets in the way." His father says.
Adrian gulped, bringing his hands up in front of him. "I get this is an arranged marriage, but Prince Leo is an Alpha. I'm playing at one. If the states find out that I was really born an Omega, they could have me killed. Not only them but other Alphas will try to get me when im in heat and extort this family! This is dangerous. No way my Alpha supplements will be able to trump that of a real Alpha."
His father rubbed at his face, his pheromones changing to that of guilt and somber. "I know. Which is why we will inform your future husband of this and hope they are willing to hide this fact. You've gone 22 years without a threat and I don't intend it to start now. I already called King Otis and told him that I want a pre wedding meet. If they deny you, we will not wed to such imbeciles."
Adrian allowed a smile as he bent down to pick up the chair. "Thats a relief." He says.
His father sighed. "Go clean up and rest. We have a busy day tomorrow."
Adrian nodded. He bowed to his father, straightening up, he turned to walk out of the room. Once the door closed behind him, Adrian leaned against the door. Everything that was talked about seemed to hit him as his face heated up. An arranged marriage? Not only that but with a guy?! He never expected to have a marriage with a guy but he knows if his Alpha husband and him actually... have sex then he will most definitely get pregnant during his heat if he is the one that is fucked. He can't let Prince Leo knot him no matter how much his heat will affect him.
With an uneasy feeling settling in his stomach, Adrian made his way back to his own quarters, opening the door and flopping his phone, keys and wallet on the bed. He reached for his remote, turning on the t.v to the news.
He wasn't at all surprised to see that their arranged marriage was the first thing he sees. He tossed the remote to the couch, stripping out of his clothes. He walked over to the bathroom and started the shower. Turning he looked in the mirror.
Adrian stared at himself, angry at the fact he had the slim body of an Omega, but the face and eyes of an Alpha. He was lean with only little muscle uptop since he works out. But for the most part he was slim.it also didnt help that right above his v line and below his belly button he had the tattoo of a womb mark that every Omega male has. His face on the other hand was more Alpha with the trimmed beard that shaped his face to be more jawline than it was. His heterochromic dark brown and light blue eyes also gave away his mixed races. The brown eyes used to be blue, but when he started the supplements it turned brown. His parents lied to the whole kingdom saying he was born with it, but those who know me, knew that was a lie. His skin was dark brown that allowed his pure white shaggy hair to pop against his skin.
Adrian sighed, looking down at his bare chest again. Gulping his hands landed on the huge scar against his chest and the horrible memories came flooding back. Adrian shook his head, quickly turning back to the shower and jumping in.
Once he was done with the shower, he retired to bed, knowing damn well tomorrow was going to be rough.
