----Euterpe (Venia)---

When Eli and Aesop returned to Cascara, Parthena they assisted Norton for his return to Luxuria after they bid farewell both of them head to Parthena's royal castle and reported to Luca's royal advisor about their observation regarding Edelweiss current state, it was a good thing as well that they dodge the Royal Advisor's question regarding the Alphas visiting the place looking for Norton since they promised that they will keep that scandal between them, Aesop was assigned to travel to Luxuria to guard Luca during his stay, since he is currently meeting the Kress Household, Aesop was informed Luca had accepted his engagement with their eldest son Andrew, Eli on the other hand had to excuse himself since he was going to visit his parents at Euterpe to meet with his betrothed

Upon reaching the Euterpe, Eli took a deep breath before meeting his parents, he suddenly remembered that guy, Naib, he told him back then this was his hometown, Eli's eyes gaze upon the area and recalled what Naib told him, he was right, it was nothing like Parthena, he giggled a bit

"Out of all people, you are the one I remembered right now." Eli mumbled as he head to his parents lodge

When his parents meet him, he saw the Feaster household was there already, he apologized and bowed at them, he saw this tall handsome man with beautiful long hair, his crimson eyes piercing right through him, his toned built was showing in his suit, Is this the man who will be my Alpha? He thought to himself as he sat down near the man and his mother

"I'm glad you made it here safely sweetheart." Eli's mother kissed her son's forehead

"Honey, our Eli is not that young anymore he can take care of himself." Eli's father shook his head and stared at Hastur apologetically,"Forgive my wife, Lord Hastur he treats our son like he's seven years old, it's because he had been living far from us that we missed him quite often."

Hastur shook his head and smiled looking at Eli's father and then Eli,"It's alright, It's quite affectionate actually, In fact a good relationship with your parents is charming on it's on way, I can tell my soon-to-be Omega would this affectionate to me, hm?"

Eli ducked his head shyly at Hastur's commentary, Soon-to-be Omega, it was really pleasing to hear and it made him blushed a bit, Hastur was really amused with his reaction, Eli shows so much of what he was feeling, he took his hand in his gently and made Eli flinched

"Are you nervous, Eli?" Hastur asked kindly

"Y-yes.. I.. I'm not sure if you'd like to have someone like me.." Eli looked at Hastur, his face was beet red,"But I would love it if you would.. Take me as yours."

Eli's mother burst out in tears and his father calming her mother down, Hastur could only chuckle at Eli's parents, they have a few casual talks here and there.

After their engagement meeting, Hastur's advisor and friend, Luchino stared at him raising a brow at him and laughed

"What's so funny, Luchino?" Hastur spoke coldly

"You" Luchino grinned playfully earning a glare from Hastur,"How many Omegas have you fooled with that act? Your last Omega was the same, I am pretty sure this one will be too, I hope he wont find out what have you done though or it'll be the same outcome for the poor boy."

"I'll make sure he'll never find out and besides you should keep that to yourself too otherwise, I won't hesitate to keep your mouth shut for you."

"Pssh, as if you can. When's the wedding anyways?"

"Still planning, you know what Omegas like these are like, they like to take it slow, Courting him is a must, I still need to earn his trust, his family and friends trust besides and his parents are Alpha like us, Eli must have Alpha friends with him, It'll be troublesome if he gets too close with the Campbell household."

"That's right, Campbell household are those annoying nobles who're closely related to your last Omega right?"

"Precisely, I don't want them telling Eli what I did to my last Omega or else all my plans will go down to waste, make sure to keep an eye on Eli."

"Why me? I already have someone in mind to be his friend when he becomes yours."

"Oh? That's good to hear, you sure are lazy sometimes Luchino."

"I don't do orders, I command others to do it for me."

After the two had their conversation, Eli and his parents stroll around town deciding on how will his wedding with Hastur would be like, In all honesty, Eli was very excited, he never expect Hastur would be a perfect Alpha for him, his parents choose well, he should tell Aesop when he returned. Eli and his parents visited one of the wedding organizer, while his parents was busy talking to the planner, he skimmed through the wedding gowns and stumbled in this one dress, it was simple, a fabric coated in white and gold, the veil was beautiful with all the simple glittery embroidery around the head matched with a golden circular necklace, an emerald colored glove on the left and golden nail gloved claw on the right, Eli smiled, feeling the soft fabric brushed against his hand

"I wonder if Lord Hastur would love to see me in this?" Eli giggled but something cross his mind, his cerulean orbs glowed in deep blue, he knew every time that happened, it was a warning not for himself but for others, his clairvoyance were always vague, it showed that his best friend Aesop was crying, Why are you crying Aesop? Eli got worried but then he saw a hand reaching out to Aesop and taking him but he's trying to struggle and took him in a room and that's it, his vision ended

"Oh no, no, no, what happened to Aesop?" Eli panicked, clutching his chest tightly, he immediately summoned Rosen, his owl and wrote a letter to Aesop and warned him of what he saw in his vision and let her fly to him right away,"Please be safe Aesop."

After the Clarks stroll around town, he excuse himself to walk around the city and will be back by night, he stumbled in a beautiful garden and relax near the fountain watching the citizens of Euterpe happily enjoying their time, then he saw a flock of pigeons and walked up to them, surprisingly someone was feeding them, he slowly bobbed his head to that person and was surprised

"Naib?"

Naib had his head raised in an instant he heard Eli's voice, his lips formed a wide grin and his eyes twinkled seeing him again, Eli giggled seeing how excited Naib looked like right now, he turned to the pigeons and back to Naib

"You're feeding them. May I join?" Eli crouched down and patted the floor to his empty side

Naib sat beside Eli and took his hand to give Eli some pack of bread to feed the pigeons, "Yes... well, I remember you love these creatures so... I took care of them here in Euterpe too."

"I see, Thanks for remembering me." Eli smiled while breaking the bread and spreading it to the flock,"I didn't expect you'd be here though, I thought you said you were busy with your work."

"I just arrived from Luxuria and I'm..." Naib stopped and scratched his head before continuing,"I'm having trouble so, I went here to clear my mind..."

"Is it hard? Your work?" Eli tilted his head at Naib,"If you are in trouble, you can tell me what's bothering you, I'll listen to you."

Naib fixed his eyes at Eli and spoke,"Yes and No. Yes, because some guy really wants to punish me for humiliating him and No, because that guy is busy helping someone at this moment, his friend's wedding, I think the Feaster household? I heard Lord Hastur is getting married, I'm surprised, I thought Lord Hastur just lost his Omega two months ago, they told us the Omega took his life but it looks like mu--..." Naib stopped seeing Eli's reaction and placed a hand on his head,"Eli, You okay?"

Eli looked quite concerned with what Naib had just mentioned, take his life? What is Naib talking about? He asked himself, he didn't respond to Naib's question

Naib removed his hand over Eli's head and thought of something to say to catch his attention, he guessed that Eli was uncomfortable with that kind of topic,"Eli, Since you showed me around Cascara last time, I wanted to repay you by showing you some stunning sights in the city! What'd you say? Don't worry if you have a curfew, I promise to bring you back home safely."

"Oh? Thank you."

Naib offered a hand to Eli which the other gladly took and walked around the city, as usual talking about random stuff, keeping each others company but Eli couldn't help but to remember what Naib had said, he thought of asking his parents or maybe Lord Hastur himself about that matter, he had never been curious of what happened to his last Omega but now, it made him wanted to know the truth even more.

----Luxuria---

WELCOME BACK NORTON

That was the banner Norton had seen after his friend learned from his servants he had returned in Luxuria yesterday and rest the whole day, Norton was evidently glad, his friends were all there except Naib who had to go back to Euterpe because of his work, As usual Norton enjoyed his small party with his friend and told him about his experience and the fact that he had a crush on this Omega in Parthena

"Wow, you and Naib liked the Omegas you met in Parthena, what's up with that place?" William blinked a couple of times before taking his shot

"Shh Will, our friends are so in love and the way you describe your little Omega crush is so different from the usual Omega you like, he seemed so feisty and strong willed!" Fiona giggled, shaking Martha in pure joy,"Naib was right, love will change Nort~"

"Even Andrew is getting married, our big boys are growing up." Martha added, grinning at Andrew from ear to ear,"Anything interesting you would like to share about your fiance?"

"Weird." Andrew replied simply, he looked at everyone and they have this strange look on their faces, andrew sighed, feeling like he's obligated to describe his fiance,"Well, he is a little bit weird but had this funny face whenever I say something that maybe different from what he expected me to say and..." he tried to remember what kind of person Luca was, a small grin formed his lips,"He had this weird things he said to me that doesn't make sense, It made me so curious about him

"Gross." Patricia scoffed,"At first I like hearing you go lovey dovey story about your crushes but nope, not anymore, it's giving me goosebumps"

"Anyways get ready guys because tomorrow night there will be a nobles party and I am pretty sure your parents are forcing you to go too!" Fiona plopped down the bed vehemently

"Yeah, they say that the royal families across Gaia would be there, some big gathering, not really sure." William fidget his index finger under his chin,"In any case, let's just go and meet up. I never liked formalities and I might meet up with a friend too and I'll introduce her to all of you!"

"Her?" Martha repeated,"Ah, is this the childhood friend Omega that you've been exchanging letters to? How adorable"

"Victor is a really big help, I'm glad I took him, he said he's grateful to help me because I saved him from his cruel life."

"What a hero." Patricia teased,"That's good you have a messenger but be careful willie, you might get in trouble doing that if she's from a high standing."

"I will promise." William gave Patricia a thumbs up

Everyone starts chattering when Martha notices Norton's silence and turns her attention to him,"Norton you're awfully quiet, what gives? Only Andrew should be the quiet ones around here."

"Hm? Sorry, I was thinking... My parents told me about that party ages ago, if the nobles across gaia will be coming, the Morton Household as well, correct?"

"Yeah--oh sh*t! Your parents are setting you up with their only son, Mike Morton right? Damn, Nort, you and your little omega crush are star-crossed lovers now, how sad..." Fiona frowned

"Shut the f*ck up! That's not my point, I wanted to court Aesop, I'll do something that will make me be disliked by the Morton Household then." Norton stood up, pacing back and forth

"Yikes, be careful Norton, it might end up on a bad note, if you do." William commented

"Right, I have to be discreet."

"Then we will help you, Operation make Morton Household hate Norton" Patricia chuckled

"Not hate you dumbass! Well, whatever, let's get on with it."

"You guys are a bundle of trouble... Let's be really discreet about this..." Andrew shook his head and sighed

After their conversation the group proceeded with their plan for Noble's Party

----Luxuria (Fantasia)---

The Morton Household, home of the most prestige and extravagant Alpha and Omega Entertainers across Gaia, their lineage had been popular throughout the decades and own a lot of high end fashion, expensive hotels and owned the Morton Inc, with multiple companies that are linked to it, their only Omega son, Mike Morton was a young lax boy who can get whatever he wants due to his connections, one of the feared Omegas in all Gaia but deep inside he has a heart of a child.

"Mar-Ga-Retha ZELLEEEEEE!" Mike called with a high pitched voice, his friend gave him a death glare

"I swear Mike Morton, if you don't stop popping in my office I will call your damn parents" Margaretha groaned, taking all the documents in her hand and placed in neatly on the drawers

"Marga! Don't be such a meanie and you know that I just want to hang out and play with you just like the good old times you know!" Mike happily clapped his hands and walk towards Margaretha having this huge grin on his face, Margaretha only looked at him with displease in her eyes

"You know we're not children anymore, Mike. I appreciate you wanting to be my friend all these years, heck, even when we were very young, I'm really happy but once you get wed to the Campbell Household you can't do the things you're doing NOW anymore, so practice being a good Omega to your Alpha, okay?" Margaretha warned,"You know how Alpha are like, they don't hesitate to punish you and that's what scares me the most, with the way you're acting right now, I don't think you're cut off being an obedient Omega to your Alpha"

Mike sighed and pouted,"I don't even wanna get married to those chumps..."

"Mike!"

"I like someone else okay! I don't wanna get married to someone I don't love! My parents aren't giving me any options but used their son to gain more power and wealth! Stupid!"

"Mike! You shouldn't say that! Like No, okay? If they hear you or someone heard our conversation you'd be punished gravely and-"

"Look, I don't care! I want to marry who I love and that's final!"

"What if that person doesn't love you huh? What will you do!? You can't- ugh! Just think about it Mike will you? I'm a worried friend okay?" Margaretha smiled and placed a hand on Mike's shoulder, in return Mike could only cast his eyes down,"Sorry for yelling at you and besides you need to go and eat, I'll catch up okay? I will just need to send these documents to the chief."

"Alright..." Mike nodded and walked at the door, he opened the door and looked back at Margaretha once again, she's always so busy and hard working, he bit his lower lip and kept his sad gaze at her,"I hope you like me too." he mumbled and leave the office

----Luxuria (Excuria)- Mall District)----

"My, My look at these Michiko do you think these will suit me!" A beautiful young lady with chestnut hair exclaimed as she tried all the dressed and accessories being accompanied by an elegant dark haired lady wearing a sophisticated kimono and another auburn haired young girl with a stern look on her face carrying all the shopping bags that the jolly young lady has

"Everything looks beautiful in you, Mary, right Vera?" Michiko smiled behind her fan as she stared at their little countess

"Yes My Lady, you look quite stunning in everything" Vera bowed kindly

"Ah! But I am not satisfied! Pardon may I have a golden rose of this and a royal blue of this one" Mary instructed the assistants of the things she needed, the two can only look at her with a surprised look on their faces but this is Mary they are talking about, parties are her luxury. While busy keeping an eye on them, Vera asked Michiko to be excused and will just step outside to get some fresh air, when she did she finally relaxed and-

SNATCH!

Vera's bag was taken by a thief, her eyes widened in disbelief as she chased after the man in deep panic. On the other side of the road, right across the pedestrian lane, Martha, Fiona and Patricia had their hands full with a lot of shopping bags when Fiona spotted a snatcher and Vera chasing after the man with her heels and dress on

"Holy Moly! Poor girl." Fiona wanted to help but what can she do, she cant chase someone that fast, Patricia also have the same sentiments but Martha begged to differ

"Take these two! I don't like what I'm seeing right now!" Martha slammed her shopping bags against her friends and ran after the thief with a flare gun on her hand, she switched her gun to a tranquilizer gun and ran past Vera, who was in deep surprise with her presence.

Martha run as fast as she could, around and across the streets just to chase the thief adjusting her aim to at least incapacitate him and when she was in close quarters with the thief, she pulled the trigger, aiming for thief's right leg and send him flying off the streets, groaning in pain, Martha took this opportunity to snatch the bag back and glared at the thief, pointing a gun at him

"Your kind disgust the good kingdom of Luxuria"

The man had this pleading look on his face when he saw Martha almost pulling the trigger while gritting her teeth

"Please! Please! I begged of you, I'm from a beta race and I did this because my family is starving and I am forced to do this because I was forced and thrown out of my job, I can't land on any job that force me and my family begged food and shelter on the streets, please please take pity on me, without me my family will die" The man begged martha, forcing himself to kneel before her

"I don't care, you're a pity-"

"Please wait!"

Martha turned around from the voice coming from her back, it was that lady whos bag got snatched, she walked towards them, losing her balance and breath, she smiled when Martha supported her

"Wow, I'm amazed you're fast enough to follow us." Martha praised

"Indeed, thank you for helping me" Vera smiled once again as Martha handed her back her bag,"Please allow me to handle this."

"What?"

"This man... looked very tired and hungry, I wanted to help him"

"You want to help someone who just stole your bag a few moments ago?!"

"Yes, Is that wrong?"

"Not wrong but weird."

Vera could only smile at Martha, she crouched down the man's level and gave him some money and a calling card,"Take all of this to buy something nice for yourself and your family, once you are done come to this place or call the reception, I will help you with the help of my lady Alphas to give you a job to help your family"

"Ma'am this is too much and I even did you wrong!" The man cried, giving the money and business card back,"I do not deserve your kindness!"

"Everyone deserves a little bit of kindness and understanding, so please take all of that, one act of compassion will help change the world for the better." Vera stood up and bowed, smiling at the two, she handed Martha a calling card too,"I would like to repay you for helping me as well but for now I must return to my Alpha Ladies, thank you so much" she immediately left, leaving the two behind

Martha starred as Vera disappeared from her view, she was so captivated and speechless with the way Vera had acted, a little thump in her heart made her blush, she slapped her cheek to wake herself up and back to the thief whos still apologizing, she groaned and let him go, from afar Fiona and Patricia was watching the whole scene, they knew something was up with Martha and just giggled, they locked their arm at her and dragged her out of the place, talking about that little encounter she had with that beautiful girl.

----Luxuria (Maplesea) - Feaster Household----

After Eli's expedition strolling around with Naib by the morning, he went back to his parents where Hastur took him in his humble abode, In a small house near the Feaster Household gigantic mansion, Hastur took Eli there to have some alone and quality time with him

"My Lord, would you like me to cook for you tonight." Eli asked with a soft smile on his face,"I'm not a good cook but I do hope you find it edible and favorable."

"Eli." The tall man smiled,"I told you to call me Hastur and please do whatever you want, this will be your home soon, better familiarize yourself with it."

"Thank you, Hastur." Eli ducked his head shyly upon calling his name and went to the fridge,"Hastur, may I ask something if you do not mind and please if you find it uncomfortable to answer don't hesitate to tell me, I want you to be honest with me after all."

"Ah, of course, what is it?" Hastur smiled as he sat down the sofa, reading the newspaper

"There's this friend of mine." Eli paused for a moment while taking out the ingredients on the fridge and placed it on the counter,"He told me about your previous Omega."

Hastur's hand flinched of what he just heard, A friend of Eli's huh? My previous Omega...I wonder what he had heard from this friend of his. He thought to himself while he continue to listen

"What is your previous Omega like?"

"Well, someone with a great personality, my previous was smart, cunning and motherly like." Hastur expounded,"Someone who is very sweet to me and loves gardening also cooking, giving me massage when I'm tired from work, a loving person indeed."

"You must be very fond of that person, My Lo- I mean Hastur"

"Well yes but that is all in the past, you are my lover now."

"Thank you..." Eli shyly replied

"Besides, I am sure that he wanted nothing more than my happiness and marrying you will ensure that happiness." Hastur walked up to Eli cupping his face and gave him a soft kiss on the forehead,"May I ask you, who was your friend and why did you ask me about my previous Omega, surely you had heard a rumor about my previous Omega."

"I hope you wont get hurt or offended by what I will tell you."

"Try me."

"My friend, he told me your Omega ended his life..." Hastur's crimson orbs turned dull and dark which made Eli furrowed his brows, for some reason Hastur's demeanor scared him, something was telling him in the back of his mind to run, his sweat trickle down his cheeks and he was shaking in fear, he wondered why was he feeling this much fear from his Alpha, when Hastur noticed Eli's dread, he brushed his hair and smiled

"That, I could not tell you." Hastur said simply,"And who is this friend of yours, Eli?"

"He..." Eli contemplated, if he should tell it was Naib or not but he fears that when Hastur finds out for himself he would not trust him anymore and what's worse he might hurt Naib if he keeps tabs on him,"...Naib Subedar."

"Ah, Naib, one of High Judge Beck's apprentices, he is a clever little boy isn't he? He solved a lot of impossible cases in his lifetime plus he punished the sinners across Gaia, you choose your friends well Eli." Hastur praised and patted Eli's head

"Really? I'm glad then!"

"I know that boy for quite some time now, although I must say I am not fond of him since he had some trouble with one of my acquaintances, you see."

"Was it Mr. Jack?" Eli asked and Hastur nodded,"Naib was mistreated Hastur, I believed he was and that is why he is only defending himself, can we do anything to help Mr. Jack and Naib, to talk it over perhaps, An apology from both sides would be nice."

"That's not how our system works, Eli, humiliating an Alpha is a crime."

"Touching someone inappropriately is a sin, Hastur"

Hastur smirked at his Omega strong sense of justice, his cerulean orbs piercing towards Hastur determined of what he had claimed, Hastur admired Eli's will, So, he got gut He thought to himself, it arouses the Alpha instinct to claim his Omega even more.

"Very well then, I shall talk to Jack about it."

"You will? That's a relief."

"Naib should thank you, you are quite strong headed you know that."

"I was raised as a fighter and I aspire to be as strong willed as my best friend, Aesop!"

"I see, then I am glad, you can protect yourself."

After their small conversation, Hastur let Eli rest after their small dinner and contacted Jack as soon as possible, warning him to finish his business with Naib once and for all.

The day has ended and the Party is drawing near. In the middle of Luxuria lies the Grand Chateau, soon it will be filled with prestigious guests across Gaia.

---End of Chapter---

Next Chapter: BETELGEUSE

"I don't know you, Have we met before" That strange and cold glare from Norton made Aesop's heart break into pieces. Why can't he remember him? He thought as he took a step back

"Oh, I-I'm sorry... I thought you were... were someone I know please excuse me." Aesop bowed, he didn't want to talk about it anymore, it feels like his heart is going to get crushed hearing those words, he clenched his chest in disbelief.

Does Norton have a twin? Is he threatened by someone or something? Why?

"Naib Subedar." Hastur smiled as he walked towards the young man waiting by the garden,"You wanted my Omega, Eli meet you here don't you?"

Naib gave hastur glare, he let out a breath and stood up from where he sat and straightened up himself,"Yes. I know what you have done and the crimes you have commited Hastur and I am NOT letting you take Eli and do the same thing to him."

"Subedar, you and I are the same do you think I did not know what your true intentions are, hanging out with the Campbell Household and being friends with that child Norton, you may fool everyone but not me, don't test me, you're a man filled with cruel and vile mystery"

Naib's olive eyes widened in shock, how could this man know of his intentions, he made sure that no one knows what he was about to do, he made it discreet as possible, he was planning this for years and will go down in the drain if everything will be revealed, This man is truly dangerous, inflicting fear in your mind and messing with your head

"Disgusting"

"Ugly"

"Undeserving"

Those words kept on repeating like a broken loop on Luca's head, he was about to leave when all of a sudden a pair of strong arms pulled him back, he look up to see it was his fiancee, Andrew Kreiss, the albino man gave the nobles a glare and spoke up

"You're low life apologize to my husband"

"My vision is getting clearer now... a tall man with elegant victorian clothing taking Aesop's hand and leading him to a room, do you think that room is safe?" Eli intertwined his fingers as if he was praying so hard to call out all the gods to help Aesop,"Also, thank you for listening to me, Mister Luchino called you to assist me, did he not?"

"Yes, Eli."
