Longing

The world that adapted to the verse is living with a ginormous social gap, bigger than the normal world it was in the past. The society majorly divided into three kind of beings that they call Alphas, Betas, and the Omegas. Their identity determines their status in the society, like a chain of power heirarchy.

A human built with supremacy, someone born to be outstanding than the majority of other beings, an Alpha, that was Garen Rine. He lived proudly as someone who manifested as an alpha from a very young age of ten. He took advantage of the status of his identity and bullied many of his peers. Prank, bullying, violence, his infamous actions were many and extreme to the point that people could name a long list with trauma in their eyes. No one dared to correct him, no one was able to withstand his pheromones once it was emitting it with rage, no adults in the school, and whatever happens within it would stay inside. The entire primary school was under his ruling.

"Are you still proud of yourself?" A voice asked.

A distinct figure was standing behind his back, he remembers the colors of it so vividly. Long hair tied in a pony tail, a beautiful pair of blue eyes that mirrors the hue of the blue sky, and she was filled with strong passion, a passion that was unusual for an omega.

The voice asked once more, twice, thrice, and it repeated in a loop that eventually snapped him from the nightmare that he insanely indulged himself. He jolted and sat down, drenched in cold sweat. The man was panting, his golden pupils wavering out of focus, it shone in the dark as he stare in the dark space, desperately trying to find traces of the girl.

"I'm not... I'm sorry... Forgive me..." Garen spoke, each end gasping for air as he seem halfy about to break into sobbing.

Garen gazed on the table beside his bed, his electric clock glows, showing [3:37 AM]. He pondered for a moment, wondering if he could go back in his dream and answer the question of the girl. A fool's thinking for sure, he knows better that it would be impossible to dream of more. The fool can't help but be desperate that even he, himself, can't deny his patheticness.

Ever since he graduated from primary, he never slept with ease, his wrongs as a child would hunt him every night. His parents were filled with worry as they don't know the reason why. They tried to seek help but, no therapy could ever help this man and only by pills can he sleep again.

Garen took the bottle of pills that are placed in his bedside, water bottle behind it, showing the frequent occurence of his attacks. He took 3 pills and consumed it with water. His glowing golden eyes dims its glow after a few moment, his nerves then soon calms down.

His mother would usually come running as soon as she sensed the strong uneasy pheromones everytime that Garen abruptly snaps from a nightmare but, he is now alone. The verse system took custody of him and he is to attend this high school. The verse would've never allowed it if they knew of Garen's situation but, his parents wanted to keep their prestige brought by having an Alpha son.

At times like this, he would remember the young girl. She was the only one who saw hope in him. The only one who brought comfort to him whenever he loss his reasons...

"Lili..." He called out sweetly yet bitterness were dragging the corner of his lips.

The clock shifted to [3:50 AM]. Garen stood up, lit the lamp on his bedside, and walked to the bathroom just beside his bedroom. He opened the shower, letting it run as he removed his clothes. He had a muscular build and a tall height because of his Alpha identity. Despite of his dreary expression, he has great features. He was handsome with his well defined features especially his piercing eyes. Thick brows and a beatiful nose.

Anyone who meet Garen would undoubtly be mesmerized by his handsomeness. Garen thinks differently though, he is baffled to see how such a monstrous child grew into a deceptive form. He thought it was terrifying.

He went in the shower, the cold water runs to his skin, tracing every detail of his body. From his head, tracing his beautiful face feature, sliding to his neck, his collarbone, his chest, his shoulders, to his veiny back hand.

He washed his hair with lavender scented shampoo, his body wash was also of the same scent. He found it therapeutic to the point that it makes him drowsy as the shower continue to pour on his face.

"I have class at 7..." He murmured.

He went out from the shower, turned it off, dried his body with a towel and wrapped it around his waist afterwards. He glanced to the electric clock on his bedside and read the time.

"4:27 AM"

He put on some clothes and dried his hair with a blow-dryer. He then flipped his pillows to the other side and lied back down and closed the light from the lamp. He grabbed his phone and opened it, his wallpaper showed a young girl standing with her back facing the camera. The face can't bee seen and Garen could no longer remember it either. Only her hair tied up in a high ponytail, a plain white t-shirt, and a silver bracelet on her right wrist. Simply looking at this image, the young man's heart was feeling warm.

The guilt he feels whenever he is reminded how he only stole this shot from that girl, how dare he keep it, he felt like a sinner. He is undeserving to take it, more so to keep it yet, he can't remove it. Just a simple glance to her figure, he felt salvation, longing, love, and it was a bitter yet sweet reminiscing.

Just by thinking of the girl did he was able to calm his mind in comfort and fall back to sleep.

A few moments later, his phone lit up with a notification on its screen.

[4:44 AM]
