1 Chapter 1

My mind is blank.

Blanker than a white wall,

Staring back at you with no emotion.

My eyes are dull,

Greyer than storm clouds.

Except. . .

My hands are redder than they should.

His body is limp in my hands,

His eyes are full of dread,

And it's all because of me.

My name is Xavier Chuu. I was raised in the town of Merrydred, a place of fun and games until the 'clouds' came over and destroyed lives. What were these 'clouds' exactly? Well, Merrydred was a town without a hierarchy, and especially had NO signs of alphas. Merrydred was also a hidden town in far-off mountains that no one dared climb, until one idiot decided to and stumbled upon us. Anyways, back to those 'clouds', after said idiot came upon us, he raced to tell his friends after spending the day there. He wanted to take over this town, but we refused and forced him back. Well, this angered him and he brought a full fleet of 30-40 alphas.

Remember, Merrydred was a town without a single alpha in sight, very few betas, gammas and even deltas, since we were isolated from the rest of the world. Back to the story, when he brought them they caused havoc and easily took over the town and claimed it theirs after 3 hours of raping, killing, harming and destroying the town until we all gave in.

The sun is high up in the sky, the noise of children running, screaming playfully and laughing together brings my chance to run out towards the edge of town without my mother noticing. I grin to myself and begin to slowly make my way away when she grabs me around my ear and I wince in pain.

"Where do you think you're going?" She asks, giving me a stern look.

"To find Lilith?" I mutter, not sure what else to say.

She sighs and says, "Fine, but be back for lunch." She releases my ear and I move out of reach and shoot her a cunning smile.

"Will do!" I begin to run off and wave and she returns it. I race past houses and people, skidding to a stop and moving to a side as an unfamiliar face comes into view and he goes to move past me. "Hello! I don't recognize you?" He had a funny smell, it wasn't sweet like mine, being an omega of course. His scent was strong kind of, but it smelt like honey.

"I don't leave my house often, son." He looks down at me and I slightly shrink down, intimidated. He remove this hood from his head, and to my surprise he's more beautiful than any male of his age I've ever seen. He has a well-built structure, soft-looking pale skin and multiple freckles on his face - he even has golden eyes!

"Oh," I get distracted staring and he chuckles at me, patting my head.

"Run along now." I nod and move to a side before breaking into a run to hurry to where I wanted to be, the mountains that closed the town off from the rest of the world.

After about ten minutes of running, I come to a stop and stare out at the world below in awe. The millions of feet of fields, trees, forests and lakes were mesmerising. There were people everywhere in villages dotted around the area and they all seemed to be cheering. It wasn't that type of cheering when someone graduated school, but the type of cheering people give off when they're on the side of a riot. An attack. Anything bad. I tilt my head in confusion and duck almost immediately as someone turns around to stare up at the mountains I was on.

I don't know if he saw me or not, but when he turns around I slowly push myself up and gasp at a strong gust of wind pushing me back down. I fall back onto my ass and wince in pain, huffing at how I was so easily caught off-guard.

For being an 8 year-old, I was hard to catch off-guard due to my father being one of the guards for the town, and because of this he taught me how to predict a movement from someone or something. I take a lot at my watch, blinking and quickly get up and begin to run back to the town.

I rush over to my house and swing open the door, panting loudly as I quickly scoot over to the table and sit in my seat, smiling goofily up at my mother.

She scoffs and shakes her head, grabbing a cloth and wiping my face free of sweat. I squirm, grabbing out from her gently and wiping my face completely so she can get food ready for me and my siblings.

I have two brothers and one sister. One brother is older and the other is younger, whereas my sister is the oldest out of us all.

My little brother, Mikey, is 3 with black hair, pink eyes and a scar across his left eye. Me, however, I have platinum blonde hair, zero freckles nor injuries and have blue, almost grey, eyes. My older brother, Xeno who is 14, has brown hair like our mother, and the same brown eyes and freckles on the left of her face. Amelin is 17, has green eyes and black hair, no freckles and pale skin.

They all raced down the stairs and came to sir in their seats, each looking at me in confusion, since I was sweating like it was a sauna outside. Mother smiled at them all and they grinned back, she grabbed some plates of food and gave us each one.

I slowly began to eat mine, and within twenty minutes I was done and my siblings were upstairs playing with their toys and other stuff. I sigh when I finish, grabbing my plate and taking it over to the sink to wash mine and the others'.

When I did that, I put it all in the cupboard and turned to leave the house when a loud, high-pitched scream and glass breaking comes into my ear. I grip the door handle, swinging the door open and freeze completely, my eyes wide while I'm paralyzed in fear. Mother comes down with my siblings and latches her arm around me, pulling me back from a man who went to grab me first.

"Stay off my son!" She screamed, pulling me behind her as I still stand there, silent with fear in my eyes. Merrydred was under attack.

My legs kick into gear and I pull my siblings into the living room as my mother grabs a kitchen knife as a weapon. This man has a weapon I've never seen before, he's got a thick black vest on, but mother has a strong thrust and stand it through. Though, it only just pierces his skin and I suddenly seen my sister running to our Mother's aid as blood spilled on the floor. Mikey and Xeno cry out, and I feel my body go numb and I just stare.

My mother was on the ground, my sister holding her collarbone and screaming out her name desperately, but this man has no mercy. This man, he has a sadistic grin forming on his face as he rises his weapon and a loud click is heard and then a 'bang'. Amelin falls flat on the ground next to our mother and Xeno grips mine and Mikey's hand, quickly pulling us past said man and out the house.

I look back as he turns, starting to chase us down the street. Tears fill my eyes and I scream out their names, telling them to get up. My scream is like a whisper to my ears, but I carry on, begging them to get up, but they never do. Xeno abruptly skids to a stop and I bump into him, making all three of us fall down in a series of yelping. He made sure that Mikey was on top, as to avoid being crushed by us both.

I quickly pick up Mikey and get off of Xeno, then trailing his gaze and looking up at the man before us. It was the same one I saw earlier on my way to the mountain edges.

"Hello, sir. . ?" I don't know his name, so I'll just call him sir.

"Hello son." He gives a weird grin, looking behind us. Mikey begins to whimper and I hold him closer, cocking my head back and staring up in horror. We were surrounded by people none of us knew and scents we didn't recognize.

Xeno pulls us both into his embrace, Mikey begins to tremble viciously and I grip him tightly to try and comfort him. He begins to sob, crying out for out mother and sister for comfort and joy.

"Xavier, take Mikey and run." He whispers in my ear, and I pull Mikey away immediately, staring in shock, not wanting to leave him.

He gives a grin and winks to us both, turning and managing to slip between two of the men, they chase after him and one is left to stay with us. I nudge Mikey, grip his hand and make a run for it, pulling him with me desperately to try and get away.

"Hey! Get back here!" The man yells, quickly chasing after us, but manages to run into a street lamp somehow as I narrowly turn a corner down an alleyway. I slowly walk Mikey down it in front of me, looking around anxiously until I find a hole we can hide in, now all I need to find is Xeno and we can wait this out hopefully. I smile at Mikey and point to the hole, he gets down on his knees and crawls through the gap.

"I'll go find Xeno, stay well hidden and don't come out." I get on my knees and kiss him on the forehead, getting up and running back out the alleyway, looking around for any possible signs of Xeno. I walk down the street, looking still with caution, but also determination.

After about half an hour of searching, I stand about 30 feet away from a group of men surrounding a crying child, blood running out his mouth and stomach. My eyes widen and I scream, "XENO!" I run as quick as I possibly can, shoving past three men to fall to the ground in front of my brother, tears welling in my eyes and dripping down like streams.

He smiles at me goofily and is struggling to breathe, but he doesn't seem to care.

"Is Mikey safe?" I nod, holding his stomach to try and stop the bleeding. "Good." He coughs, the men around just laughing at the scene, but one by one they start to leave, somewhat bored.

"Y-you're going to be okay, right?" He closes his eyes, blood still draining out of his mouth.

He sighs, coughing more of the red liquid up. "No. I'm sorry to break it to you, but I won't be, Xavier." My heart drops and I freeze, sobbing louder as I grip him and he pulls me into a hug.

After ten minutes, his arms slip, they stop moving and I don't feel him moving anymore. I catch my breath, sitting up and staring down at him with gaping wide eyes. I'm still, blood covering my hands and arms, his eyes are dull and so are mine. His body is limp, but mine's just paralyzed. He has a smile on his face, but eyes full of dread, and it's all my fault. I shouldn't of let him go, I should of begged him to stay. I should of grabbed his arm and pulled him back, I shouldn't of let mother or Amelin die, because now Mikey only has me, and I'd never be able to comfort him, only protect him. I pull his corpse closer to my body, leaning my head back and staring at the sky, the clouds have destroyed a sweet summer's day. . .

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

I shoot up, my eyes wide as my breathing becomes unsteady, crooked and cracked. I cough, getting out of bed, taking a glance at the man who was next to me. I stare for a minute before going to the bathroom closing the door behind me and turning on the shower. Merrydred was turned into a town where alphas ruled the place and were feared even from early childhood. Omegas, like me, are forced to sleep with said alphas if they want us to, but the rule is that they're not allowed to mark any of us, or they have to leave the town. The town has grown with betas and alphas, also gammas and thetas. I feel hands around my waist, then slipping to my hips and wrapping around me, another's body pressing against my back. My breathing turns hard as his hand ventures down to my lower stomach.

"You know the rules." I mumble, gasping slightly when he begins to stroke my dick while nibbling on my earlobe.

"I know, but your ass was so enjoyable." He smirks, moving down to my neck and kissing it.

"Later, Chase, I need to get ready for work." I gently push him off before he makes my dick turn erect to the point he gets what he wants and continue to shower as he whines like a puppy.

"Fine, and I'm going on another trip in three days, so you and Mikey will have to let Madeline do the shopping, since you know how alphas get when they see two lovely smelling omegas." I chuckle at this, turning around and pecking him on the lips. His lips are a rosy pink, his eyes an autumn orange while his hair is pure white. I sigh as he begins to clean himself too, helping me with my hair without asking. Though, I don't mind.

When chase is done washing my hair free of shampoo and conditioner, he hurries me to go get dry and dressed for work. I smile at him, grabbing a towel and drying myself off with it, walking into the bedroom to grab a white shirt, black tie, black trousers, polished shoes and a black blazer. I hurry to put it all on, running down the stairs, kissing Mikey on the head goodbye and leaving the house quickly.
