Dammit!

Dakota clenched her hand as she glared at the woman.

"Don't you see he is uncomfortable" her tone was cold as ice that makes one cower upon hearing it.

"Oh? Don't you see we have our own business here" the woman tried to reasoned out to Dakota as she gave a peck of kiss in the man's collarbone and her hands started to wander around his body.

"Oh! Don't tell me you are an alpha too?" the woman stared at Dakota with shock.

There aren't too many alphas wandering around in the Vermilion district as some of them spend their leisure time doing vices in Gold Dragon district, a high class place for people in the high society, mostly composed of omegas from wealthy families either 'sold' or for marriage agreement.

Upon hearing the woman's words the people suddenly shifted their gazes at their direction which made Dakota a little bit uncomfortable with so much greed in their eyes.

"No wonder you look so high class" the woman chuckled as she grabbed the man by the waist to walk away.

"I'm still not done talking to you" Dakota spoke in a low and dangerous tone.

The woman paused on her tracks as she coldly stare at Dakota's hand on her shoulder.

"Tsk" the woman immediately twisted her body and tried to land a heavy kick on Dakota's head.

Unfortunately Dakota was able to block it with her right arm while her left hand supported the block.

[Martial arts]

She thought as she stared at the woman, alphas are dominant and strong so it is no wonder why both Dakota and the woman have an above average strength.

"No fighting in the bar" the guards tried to separate both two who were causing a commotion.

"Apologies" Dakota spoke as she tried to compose herself.

"My assistant will come over later for compensation" Dakota grabbed the man as she tried to leave the bar.

"Please don't let her off just yet" the man spoke to the guards politely who were holding the woman as she tried to struggle.

"Get back here!!"

The woman's behaviour displeased the guards and took Dakota's side as they had the impression that the woman was indeed the trouble.

"Where are we going?" the man asked Dakota as she continued to pull him.

"We are going to have a long talk" Dakota replied without even gazing at him.

Dakota checked in on a hotel with the man as she sat on the chair opposite to him.

"Name" she coldly stated.

"Virgo Eustace" Virgo, the man, replied as he continued to fiddle with his fingers.

"Your business with me?" Dakota asked, she was truly curious of the identity of the man he was vaguely familiar in her memories.

Suddenly tears slowly and gently flowed down from his face.

"Help me" he cried as he replied in a very low tone.

"How could I help you when I couldn't know you?" Dakota responded as she gave him her handkerchief.

Virgo accepted her kindness and after wiping his tears he calmed down for a bit and took off his collar. There was a bite mark on his nape like an omega would have when he or she is marked by an alpha yet his mark had turned black like ugly viens spreading in his nape.

As expected he was 'marked', no wonder he seemed disgusted by the touch of that annoying pest earlier. His mark had already turned ugly and it only happens when a marked omega had sex with other people other than his or her pair

Dakota's eyes darkened.

He was probably forced to, no omega with a mark could withstand having sex with other people for too long and simply their bodies could not withstand the effects. Judging from his circumstance he was abandoned by his pair, omegas who are marked has still their marks with them even though their alpha had passed away, only after the alpha dies can the marked omega can have another pair

"It was your mother who marked me and tossed me away" Virgo replied completely leaving Dakota speechless.

"I was blinded with her promises and words of love that is why I agreed her marking me even though I was aware she had countless affairs and a family yet I truly did believed that I was different from those omegas she had abandoned...I was such a fool" Virgo bursted out in tears, his current state was a mess yet it did not diminish his beautiful appearance.

"Son of a....sigh*" Dakota didn't know what to do with the current situation, how can she comfort someone she barely knew moreover her mother scammed that man.

"Are you in need of money?" Dakota asked staring at him carefully.

"Yes....." Virgo replied.

Before money was not a problem to him since Mrs Kaede have been providing him financially but after abandoning him the money that Mrs Kaede left him was a huge sum yet he used it to pay off his father's debt, and since he doesn't have pair anymore he only relies on pills to suppress his heat but sometimes even that isn't enough and he resorts to sex with other alphas in that way he can also earn money.

Pills for omegas are expensive and he must have a hard time living off without my mother's support

Dakota thought, she did knew about her mother's countless affairs but she paid no heed to it before, she never knew she was such a bastard if that is the case then probably her father was doing some kind of same shit as her.

"Give me your address and I'll drop something useful" Dakota spoke as she handed him a piece of paper and pen.

"Thank you" Virgo thanked Dakota and scribbled on the paper.

"After you've received it wait for my instructions" she spoke and gave Virgo a cheque before leaving the hotel.

She was not a saint but she was only helping someone whose life was destroyed by her mother. He was at fault too despite knowing her mother's affairs yet he still stuck with her, but Dakota couldn't blame him much since her mother has always been good at manipulating people.

Her helping people was her way to keep her sanity from the underworld society, sometimes too much power can easily stray someone from their paths and there is a thing called karma that Dakota deeply believes.

"Ahhhh.....what a mess!!" she scratched her head.

She just got out to have a drink but ended up getting into more trouble might as well have another drink.
