1. Intro

I am doing it again, writing a new Story instead of continuing the others. I have so many ideas to write About Krist/Singto and Arthit/Kongpob so I rather publish them instead of keeping them in my small brain. Feel free to read it, think about it and comment about it. There is a Little quiz at the end. Enjoy this new story :D 

*****************************************

In the faraway centre of southwest asian, there is a country among the many countries called Sunland which consisted of altogether 50 million people. Just like few countries in the world, Sunland is still ruled by a monarchy which royal family is famous for their mercy, love and respect toward their people. The country is well known as a blessed and very beautiful land where the sun shone every day, with its people adored for their friendly manners, charms, solidarity and harmony.

However, it was also a country that was divided by three society classes according to the strict omega system. The first one on the pyramide of society system were the alpha class who were seen as strong in both physically and mentally, strict, well respected, renowed and also feared because of their overwhelmed power and strength. They were everywhere on the top, making laws and controlling the lower ranks. They were easy to notice due to their strong appearance, dominance, arrogant behaviours also strong and intimidating aura around them. However, the most feared feature about them were their overly strong sexual desires that they were proud of and liked to try on their preys which were the last ones on their food chain. One could assume that they were permanently aroused, only few of them managed to restrain such desires. Male alphas were even blessed with the ability to impregnant omegas too, women and men.

The second class on the list were the BETA classes, the people in the middle who were seen as valued so that they had managed to gain their own respect. They were subordinates of the alphas and took care of their bosse's orders. Because they were seen as normal and never fell in the hate zone of the too overpowered ALPHAS, they would use their values and influence to bully the weak class on the list.

The least lucky and lowest on the hierarchy were the OMEGA class which were intimidated, controlled and used by the strong alphas. Because they were assumed as the lowest of the low classes, they were loathed by some alphas and betas for their weakness, uselessness and their misfortune to go in heat permanently. Omegas would need to take their medicine regularly to control their heat. They were born to be treated as poor garbage, used as slaves or even taken as playthings to entertain the alphas. Even though they weren't considered strong physically neither mentally, male omegas have the ability to become pregnant, sometimes referred to as being bred or mated. The only time omegas would be fertile were the time they would be in heat and needed to have sex. Lovers may even form pair-bonds with a special connection with telepathic or empathetic qualities. Another feature that mated omegas could never run away from were the jealousy and possessiveness of their paired alphas. It was a dangerous thing that many feared so no alpha would ever dare to touch another alpha's mate.

One would think that to have an alpha as a mate would benefit an omega but he had deceived himself because most of the mated omegas were never happy in their relationship. Either they were looked down by their mate's family or never taken serious and truly loved by their mate due to their differences. Because of this stigma pointed at them, many omegas hide their true identity from the world to gain respect, find works and be valued too. However, their identity wouldn't be hidden for long since there were always a risk that a alpha could emit their strong aura, force them to go in submissive mode and expose them.

How to find your mate? Easy! One don't need to search for their fated person but would meet under special circumstance. When meeting your mate, you would sense a smell coming from that person. It was a sweet and never forgatable smell that one would only smell one in their whole life. It was a fragance that would take over your senses, make you lose your sanity and awake the sleeping desires in you. Your heart would thump harder than before, the lust would be so strong that you would want to be connected with that person. This special occasion only happened when one had matured, most likely reached the age of 18. However, there were also some expectations too. It could happen that very strong alphas could detect their mate through the smell on early age. Fortunately, it had happened in the royal family only till now, such as the crown prince who would inherit the throne. 

There were hundreds of rules in this omega world. However there was one important rule that nobody would ever dare to break. It was the law to find your mate, stay with your mate and to never fall in love with someone else expect your mate! To break such law was seen as a grave sin that was punished with the death penalty. Either the one commiting the sin first would be punished to death according to the law or the seperation with his true mate would result in his death, causing his or her lover to live in grievance forever. Even if one can't choose his own mate, nobody ever dared to break the law and bear the consequences to see his/her lover live in grievance for the rest of their live just because of simple human feeling called LOVE.

The streets of Sunland were always lively and filled with perdestrians and street vendors but it seemed more lively and beautiful decorated today, the habitants were in joy and apparantly celebrating a special occasion. There were flowers and chain lights hanging on the walls, each house, restaurant or market had made sure to hang chain lights and sign saying „Welcome our crown prince" on their door. The whole country was celebrating the birth of their first crown prince who was born just yesterday in the royal palace. He was the first prince of the King who had met some misfortunes before the birth of his son. Several months before, there were rumors going around that the Queen was cursed, unable to bear the King a crown prince after giving birth to five princesses. However, everyone who had taken part in spreading such bad rumors in the country were all killed one by one so that nobody would dare to badmouth her again. Some months after the massacre on the traitors, the Queen got pregnant again and was blessed with a son this time. The King couldn't contain himself as soon as he was holding his son in his arms and had ordered his people to prepare for a feast for a week. The subordinates working in the palace were busy preparing for the important ceremony without resting for a day and a night.

The gate of the palace went open, an elderly and a young woman, both sixty years and fifteen years old, stepped in the grand building that was adorned with many beautiful decorations like bouquets of fowers, lights, various coloured curtains hanging on the walls. Both women were wearing white long gown but there were big differences between their appearances. The older one gown was made with the purest and whitest silk and she had a violet crystal as a pendant that was attached to a gold chain on her forehead, it was a juwel specially made for the head but the pendant looked like it was firmly attached to her skin, as if it would never fall down no matter the circumstance. She was not only beautiful despite her old age, only few wrinkles were around her lips and her eyes that revealed that she wasn't young anymore. She had pale skin and red lips that wasn't due to any lipstick, she never wore any make up. There was a cold aura around her, as if she was unable to feel any emotion. 

There was a reason why the oracle looked cold on the outside even though she was soft on the inside. She was the oracle of this country after all. An oracle which emotions should never be shown to prevent catastrophe to happen. Why her showing feelings would cause chaos and confusion in the Sunland? Because if she frown, many would suggest that some calamity was coming toward the country and if she smiled then the people would pressume that their country would be blessed soon. Due to this simple reason, she was condemned to be alone forever untill her succesor take over her place shortly before her death. The oracle, only females, were leading a lonely life but no one cared about her sadness as long as they could keep seeing in the future with her ability.

Meanwhile the young girl was wearing only plain white dress, not expensive neither shining like the oracle's one. She was only few inches behind the oracle, had to maintain her distance from the latter since she shouldn't be touched casually and was considered as the one close to the gods. She was the oracles's only assistance, her duty was to take care of the latter's matter like cooking, cleaning house, help her with preparation for prophecies or cleanse the negative energy in the country. Her name was Maripha and she was one of the few girls who desired to work as assistant for the oracle. Why this duty wasn't highly valued by anyone? Because an assistant had to shut herself from the world and be devoted only to their master since there was the possibility that they would reveal information about the oracle and prophecies if they assosiated themselves with anyone. To protect the secrets of the precious oracle, the assistant was bound to live lonely too till the death of their master. If a new master arrived and liked them then they would keep working under her but it was something that happen only rarely.

The two women were welcomed by more than twenty royal bodyguards who were waiting at the gate for them then accompanied them on the way to the court hall. The closer they got to the King and his family, the more expensive and beautiful the decorations were. The younger woman could not contain herself and was looking around out of curiosity, forgetting the rule to act ladylike and gracefully. She was more than excited since this was the first time she had visited the royal palace after all. The last time the oracle set foot here was five years ago when the Queen had born the fifth princess. At that time, she came alone because she didn't have an assistant that time. It was also the year of celebration and tragedy. The oracle just celebrated her 20th anniversary as the oracle but a tragedy had overshowed her happiness by taking her beloved assistant from her. Her assistant who was also her best friend died a natural death in her pond. Ever since then, she refused to take another assistant until she met the ten years old little girl sitting alone in a playground after being abandoned by her parents because of her being an omega. She took her under her wings and finally accepted her as her assistant some weeks ago. Despite the lonely life of an assistant, Maripha was more than satisfied and happy to assist one of the strongest woman in this world.

Meanwhile the older woman knew how to contain herself, keeping her expressionless face the whole time. They arrived in front of the court hall, the bodyguards remained outside to keep watch and let the two women enter the hall. It was a spacious hall that could contain thousand visitors, its wall shining gold and smelling like roses. There were 3 big seats made out of gold in the middle near the wall, the middle one bigger than the two others. Surely, the bigger seat was the King's throne, the one on the right which was the second biggest for the crown prince and the third smaller one for the Queen. There were three subjects beside the seats and several bodyguards behind the rulers. The three servants were a female maid and a male subject who were there to take care of the royal familes' needs, the third one was a female caretaker which duty was to take care of the crown prince.

The King was sitting on his golden throne, his wife the Queen on the left throne while holding her baby in her arms. She was swaying him slowly to calm her son down but the baby refused to sleep and was crying for many minutes now.

The oracle waited few inches away from the King and Queen, bowed her head down slightly while her assistant Maripha went to her knees and bowed down to the most powerful family in Sunland. The 5 princesses were taking lessons to strenghten their etiquette.

„Oracle...", the King spoke first. Actually the oracle's name was Tai Penpak Sirikul but she had to give up on her name, family and life to act as the perfect oracle so everyone forgot her name few years after she took on her duty. Even the King was not allowed to call her by her true name, maybe he, too, was one of the millions people who had forgotten her true identity already.

Oracle, „My King...", she said to him then adverted her gaze to the Queen, „My Queen... My congratulation for bearing a crown prince. I pray for the prince's health, wellfare and for him to rule this country with knowlegdes, wisdom, kindness and strength!"

„I appreciate the oracle's blessings", the Queen said with a little smile on her face. She was tired after the long labour but her stylist were able to make her look beautiful and energetic as before.

„May the oracle read us the prophecy of our crown prince?", the older man wished.

Actually, it happened only few times that an oracle leave her mansion for prophecy. She only leave her mansion for important occasions like when a storm was coming toward the country or to read the future of a newborn royal family member. Today, she was invited here to read the crown prince, the next King's future and prevent upcoming catastrophes. The Queen went to her and gave her the baby. The oracle took the baby in her arms, looked deep into his eyes then laid her head over the crown prince's forehead. The child was calm. Meanwhile Maripha was still kneeling on the ground with her eyes gazing down to not face the royal family.

Tai closed her eyes and concentrated on her ability to awaken, her eyes went open suddenly and changed to the colour of pure white. Now she was seeing images flying before here, those were visions of the future. There was another newborn baby being held in his mother's arms and another 2 years old boy sitting alone and sobbing quietly in his spacious bedroom. Many events appeared in the vision, she began mumbling. „The Crown prince will inherit the King's throne later. He will grow up as a strong alpha, intimidate his enemies also teach fears among the people. His ability will be one of the kind and he will find his destined mate in early age too...", a small break followed before she continued. „However, he will not rule this country for too long. He'll have everything taken away by his half brother who will be born tonight! These two princes are destined to meet, hate each other, fight and destroy this country... And the cause of the two's hatred will be another young boy! His destined mate! His mate'll fall in love with the 2nd prince. He'll be the one which destiny is to control these two princes' life!", these were the only words the orcale were ordered to say from the gods. Even if she didn't want to mumble those words, she would never be able to lie or say more than allowed during the prophecy. To tell about such sad destiny, were one of the times she hated to be an oracle.

Everything went silent suddenly, only their accelerating breathes were echoing in the air. The bodyguards and three servants were trembling, fearing for their life. The Queen's hands were shaking, not due to fear but due to hatred that was reflecting in her sharp eyes. The King was speechless, he gulped hard then stole a look from his wife. After telling the prophecy, the eyes of the oracle turned to normal again.

The King slammed his fists against the armrest of his seat, standing up and screaming. „How dare you talk lies in front of me, the King!"

The oracle joined her palms together and wai-ed, „The King knows that I, the oracle, am not able to tell lies during a prophecy!". She knew that the powerful man standing in front of her would never touch her so she answered back without any fear. An oracle was sacred and very rare after all.

The queen took her son back, turned to her husband and glared at him. She knew long time ago that he was a womanizer who fell for womens' charms easily but he had never dared to sleep with one of them. He had remained faithful to her even though he had never loved her once despite her being his only mate. According to her spy who always followed the Emperor, there was a beautiful woman among the maids who many guards fell in love with but weren't successfull in seducing her untill she met the King one night. However, that maid left in the middle of the night all the sudden and was never seen again. There were some rumour that the Queen had killed her but the Queen herself had assumed that she had listen to her warning and disappeared in fear. Now that she found out that her mate had impregnant another woman, the first picture that came in her mind was that insolent maid. She clenched her baby firmly in her arms that the child began to cry again. How dare an unknown lowlife will make my son's life miserable. She stared at the child in her arms, swaying him slowly till the small baby stopped crying. I won't let it happen, son... I will make everyone who will cause your pain disappear! That prophecy would never occure as long as I am living... You won't lose your throne, your mate and neither your life! The Queen glared at her husband for the second time then took the way out of the court hall.

The ruler was always afraid of his wife, he wanted to calm her down and deny the prophecy that he had never impregnanted another woman beside her but he was lost for words. It was the truth that he had slept once with this maid but it wasn't like everyone assumed. There was more to the story but he choose to keep the truth a secret for that maid's sake. The King was content that he would be father of another prince but he was too anxious because of the sad prophecy. There was a young boy who would cause the two princes hatred toward each other but he would be the one who had caused this catastrophe on the first place by cheating on his wife. He felt another headache coming whereupon he rubbed his palm on his warm forehead.

The oracle bidded farewell with the older man then turned back to her assistant, „Let's go!" she mumbled coldly to the young maiden still kneeling on the ground. Maripha's round eyes were wide open in shock and disbelief.

It took a long while before Maripha reacted to her call and dared to raise her head but she still couldn't face the King at all. The atmosphere was too gloomy, the air was too suffocating so that she could not breath properly and needed to hold on her breath for a moment. The oracle walked the long corridor of the hall and approached the exit. Maripha did her last bow to the King and followed her master, trippled over her own foot due to her carelessness. She was too clumsy as an assistant but the oracle still choose her among the ten maiden who were offered to her five years ago.

Maripha moved her lips to say something but she was scared to ask the one question lingering on her lips. A moment after, she mumbled, „M... Master, is it true... About the prophecy?"

„Have I ever been false with my prophecy before?", was the only question the older woman wanted to ask her in return.

Maripha shook her head, wishing that her prophecies weren't this accurate this time. Actually Khun Tai was seen as the best oracle among her ancestors because her forecast were always accurate but Maripha wished that she would be wrong this time. She wished that the second prince would never be born, morever it would be best if he died during his birth tonight. And she prayed that the other young boy wouldn't toy with the two brothers' heart and cause this country's downfall. She was so deep in though that she didn't notice her master standing in front of the palace's gate and staring at it with deep, concerned eyes. There was a huge storm coming toward this country. 

****

The oracle and her young assistant were about to climb in their private car where the private chauffeur would drive them back home but the older woman felt a huge urge to walk instead. Something was urging her to take the route through the busy market. It happened sometimes that the gods would speak to her through emotions and guid her to somewhere she had to be. She knew that she would meet something or someone important on her way there, meaning that her meeting with that certain person could determine the country's future.

Now the two women were walking through one of the busiest markets where several street vendors were selling their foods while talking with customers or the other vendors. The topic everyone was discussing about was the newborn crown prince who already gained the heart of the people. They were praising him for being a cute, calm and strong prince who would bring more fame to their country even though they didn't see him yet. The expressionless oracle just shook her head, thinking that they were clueless about the upcoming disaster. However, they managed to greet the oracle whenever they recognized her based on her white, silky dress and violet coloured crystal hanging on her forehead which signified her identity.

All the sudden, someone bumped against her and fall back on his buttocks. The oracle gazed down only to realize a two years old toddler sitting in front of her. The child was too young to recognize the identity of the woman standing before him. For him, she was just a gloomy and terrifying looking woman. His eyes were filled with tears, he began crying and sobbing loud, attracting everyone's intention. Many feared that the oracle, known for her harsh personality, would scold him but the woman just squatted down and stared at the small child. The scold everyone expected never came. She knew him. How? It was not long ago that she saw him in the recent prophecy of the crown prince. He was the young boy who would lead this country to its downfall many years later. Her eyes turned white again, various images flashed before her eyes, it was another vision.

Vision

She saw that toddler grown up into a fine, bold young man who would change his crying habit into a carefree habit. He was standing on a rooftop kissing another young man, both being too intimaded and careless during the kiss. The second prince!

Another picture appeared in front of her, this time the fine young man was hiding behind the second prince's back, another third young man was standing in front of them, stretching his arm out to them and clenching onto nothing. It looked like he was holding onto an invisible object the size of a heart. He was the crown prince who had inherited the throne already. The three men were badly injured and bleeding from their wounds after the battle. The fine man's hold onto his chest, gasping for air and moaning in pain. He fell down but the second prince managed to catch him, leaning him on his chest, touching his cheek and promising him that he would take his pain away.

„If I can't have him then you won't have him either!", the crown prince roared than crashed his hand together.

The first young man shrieked painfully, threw blood and cried red tears which was blood then breathed his last breath and died in the second prince's arms. More painful screams followed after that.

Another image showed how the younger prince had killed his older brother, the King. He had inherited the throne but ignored his duty as the King, reigning with his tyrannic behaviour by killing many servants without a reason and letting his people starve to death.

End of vision

Tai's eyes turned back to her normal colour after the gruesome pictures she had to witness in her visions. She caressed on the toddler's head, „So you're the young boy who will have two men later in the future. The only one who'll hold the two princes' future in his palm, huh?", a small smile appeared on her lips, it was one of the rare but genuine and warm smile she would only expose when she witnessed a vision filled with happiness. However, she smiled because she felt pity for the toddler. There were pain and tragedy reflecting in his eyes but she see a determined strength in him too. According to Tai, the toddler would grow strong later despite the tragedies that would take everything he loved away from him but his feelings for that man would be strong enough for him to keep fighting against the odds. „You'll suffer much in the future but hang on there little child... Your man will always be there for you... He'll protect you...", she muttered in low voice.

The toddler finally camled down when seeing her faint, beautiful smile. Her white eyes still appeared scary but his fear was blown away by the wind thanks to her sweet smile. It was the first time that someone had smiled to him in a brightly manner without hating him, it was not the kind of smirk that his family always gave him so he was overjoyed to meet someone who seemed to like him. He reached his arm out to her but he hesitated for a moment, his hand was trembling for a bit but he found his courage to touch her face, his palm close to her eyes. He found the white colour of her eyes just now so interesting, thinking that she must be a kind of a new monster for looking like that so he intended to touch her to feel her skin if she was still alive or not. However, he was surprised to find out that she was warm despite her cold aura. For him, the oracle was a beautiful woman with soft heart and warm smile that was different from his mother's. Since he was a child without prejudices, he only saw a kindhearted woman in front of him instead of the emotionless oracle everyone saw in her.

However, something unexpected happened as soon as the little child touched the oracle. Her eyes turned white again. It was another vision. There was only one picture that she saw in her vision. There were two women were laying on the ground in the divine hall, both were brutaly massacred, their bodies showing bite and claw marks. These two were Maripha and her. They would be killed by unknown werewolves this night! Her eyes turned normal again, the young boy was clapping overjoyed to witness the charming lady's eyes turning white again. Instead of falling in shocked state after the cruel ending she would meet soon, Tai just smirked to the toddler and ruffled his hair messy. Maripha had heard her mumble some words but she didn't heard it well since she was too busy thinking for an option to change the two princes' future. She saw her master smiling and assumed that she had happy vision, being clueless about the danger they were already in. Finally, something nice will happen soon. What a naive girl. She was working for the oracle for 5 years now but still couldn't figure her out, unable to read her expressions and know about her sorrows.

„What do you think you are doing?", a woman with a high-pitched voice spoke, disturbing the calmness in the atmosphere.

The young boy trembled suddenly, making himself small and hiding behind the oracle's legs. The woman, wearing plain clothes, stomped toward them, yanked the young boy roughtly to her side even though the child was afraid of her. She pushed his head down to bow down to the oracle. It seemed that she was his nanny.

„I apologize for this impudent child's behaviour. He still didn't learn his lessons to show his manner. I beg for your mercy, oracle. He's too young to know what is wrong."

„He is just a kid and he didn't disturb me!", she was still friendly even though she didn't like the way she treated the toddler but she kept her mouth shut to not say any mean word that she would regret later.

The nanny bowed down for the last time then pulled the young boy in the opposite direction, the small child crying while being dragged around like garbage. She was gripping him hard but she still used force to control him, yelling at him that he was a boy and shouldn't cry that much or he would be punished later again. The oracle turned to them and looked after the boy being pulled away by his nanny. She wanted to chase after him and take him away from there but she couldn't act on her own. She wasn't allowed to defy the gods, dirsturb the nature and change the three unfortunate boys' fate. At the same time, the small child turned back to look at her. His eyes were teary but he still managed to smile genuinely to her and waved his hand to bid farewell with her.

„Who is that boy? Why is master interested in him?", Maripha asked, was curious to know the truth about him as her master was showing too much interest in that stranger's child.

Tai didn't reply but just stared at him till he disappeared from her sight by turning in another direction. I see, that's your special ability also... She just turned away and left the market, her assistant closely following her.

It was deep in the night and there was an eery silence in the air. The streets that were busy and full of customers in this morning were empty now, all the vendors were at home and sleeping comfortably. However, not everyone were sleeping in their warm home, some could not sleep and decided to leave the place that they had thought was safe for them. Not far away from the royal palace, three persons were sneaking around on the empty street of the market, walking with much effort to not make any sound and alert the enemies that they were there. There was one man and two women, the three of them were on high alert and gazing around anxiously to detect any strange looking item or person sooner. They were afraid of something or more like running away from someone to be pricisely. They didn't get far anyway as they heard a faint growl in the proximity.

They were afraid of something or more like running away from someone to be pricisely. They didn't get far anyway as they heard a faint growl in the proximity.

The three jumped in surprise, froze on the spot andstared at each other's face with confused expression. More faint growl echoedin the atmosphere. The noise sounded far but near too, the more closer thesounds got, the scarier these strangers were getting. Apparantly, the growldidn't come from one person but from more than two persons. The three waitedfor a second before they ran foward to escape. Unfortunately, they didn't comefar as three wolves looking beasts jumped from the side at them, the beastrunning on their four paws, their black, shining fur swaying effortlessly dueto the fresh breeze. Each beast bite deep in one person's neck and snappedtheir fragile bones, yanking some of the flesh from their neck. The 3 runawaysdidn't even have the chance to let any sound out to yell for help. They werekilled in the most brutal way, their bodies falling down on the ground, theireyes wide open in shock and staring in the sky since they were sure that theyhave escaped successfuly. Blood were gushing out from the wound on the groundand staining the soil red. The 3 runaways took their last breath then died onthe spot due tot he wound and heavy blood loss. 

These were the three subjectsworking in the palace, the same persons who had listened to the oracle'sprophecy of the crown prince in this morning. Finally, there was some movesfrom the palace to silence everyone who were present during the prophecy of thecrown prince. They had sensed that they were in danger for listening to the bad news about the crown prince so they decided to leave this night to preventanother misfortunes but they were unlucky and didn't get far. Now they werelaying dead on the ground, the three beast grabbing at their neck between theirfangs, dragging their bodies away on the ground.
