02: Desperate
In a world where witches, werewolves, and vampires coexist, magic flows in abundance. Society is divided into four parts, the east is dominated by powerful werewolves, the north is inhabited by humans, the west is home to witches and wizards, and the south is the domain of vampires.
Dominated by dense forests and rugged mountains of the east, this is a place where werewolves live, forming packs. The natural landscape provides them with excellent hunting grounds and hidden enclaves.
The human territory in the north has sprawling cities, fertile farmlands, and advanced infrastructure. Humans have built impressive architecture and developed sophisticated technology to compensate for their lack of magical abilities. They were also divided into many small kingdoms, with Knights being their strongest force.
In the West, enchanted forests, mystical lakes, and ancient ruins populate the domain of witches and wizards. This area is brimming with magical flora and fauna, and ancient spell books can be found in hidden libraries. The West also has the highest number of schools, accept children from all around the world.
And towards the south is where Vampires live. They don't exactly have a good relationship with any other society. They are also very troublesome creatures.
Ivor thought as a yawn slipped from his mouth, flopping on his bed.
Previously, Ivor didn't think much of his stinging eyes, but soon, he realized they were stinging from crying too much.
"Ivor, please don't cry. It hurts me too, but we must move forward. Only by moving forward can we discover what lies ahead for us. Perhaps our current misery is a step towards future joy."
Ivor listened to Lowell nagging, lightly raising his eyebrow. Lowell has been very mature from as far as Ivor remembers. Lowell had always been there, ensuring Ivor never felt alone. Perhaps that constancy led Ivor to take his presence for granted, assuming Lowell, his steadfast companion, would always be by his side. It was only after losing his precious and caring wolf that Ivor truly understood his profound significance.
In the modern world, he was so alone, no one was there to talk to him, no one was there to comfort him or give him the right advice. He knows that he and Ivor are the same, and Lowell is like his mature self, yet he can't shake off the paternal instincts towards him stemming from the absence of a parental figure in his life. A parent Lowell had always been to him despite the same age.
In the modern world, he felt empty, as if he had lost something, and only after getting a few years older did he realize he left his wolf self back in his past world. Lowell was not there with him; he could even feel it. His shadow only has his human self remaining.
He turned his head and gazed into the eyes, reflecting at him in the mirror. If you looked closely, you could see his swollen eyes. Yet, his appearance made him seem pitiful rather than messy
He then recalled the cause of his tears and the reason he was confined to a storeroom with a comfortable bed.
Ivor was abandoned by his parents at the tender age of two in the care of other omegas because he was a rare omega male, who had the least fertility among omegas. Even the chances of their miscarriage are high. So, in wolf society where breeding is an important part of life, male omegas were usually ignored and abandoned even in their own Omega circle.
In wolf society, many omegas are loved by their mate as they easily arouse their protective instinct against these predatory creatures, but the same could not be said for male omegas. Being almost infertile is not the only factor society ignores their existence but being male is also a part. They feel they are weak and cowardly and can't be called men.
Many even feel it's their fault to be an Omega.
When two years old baby Ivor walked into this society instead of getting protection from elders, he got years of abuse and bullying. Only the old omega lady who was rejected by her mate decided to accept him, but she also left him when he turned eight. From then on, he was alone, all alone.
Here, sixteen years is considered an adult as at this age, the moon goddess blessed every wolf with their mate.
So, the young teenager Ivor was waiting to get sixteen to meet someone who cared about him, loved him, and supported him.
It doesn't matter what his mate does for a living or how he looks or where he belongs... he just wants him to make him feel secure; he is very desperate just to find a light to rescue him.
Little Ivor never went to school, but he used to sneak outside the window to learn things. If he gets away, then it's his luck, but if he gets caught, he just has a few broken bones.
Once, he was caught by Billy, the younger brother of the future beta of the pack, and his friends, who broke his two ribs and both of his ankles to block his opportunity to escape. He thought he was going to die on that day but then 'he' came.
Someone whom the young Ivor cannot even dream of meeting. Future alpha of the pack, Augustus. Contrary to Ivor's expectations of being bullied, Augustus did not harm him. Instead, he intimidated Billy and his friends away and sent him to the hospital. He also used his authority to give him the best treatment.
It was purely out of kindness.
Ivor sighed. If it was in the modern world anyone kind enough would have stood up. Not only would people have called an ambulance, but given the severity of the injuries inflicted on a minor, the police would have been notified as well.
But did something happen to Billy and his friends?
No,
Nothing.
An Omega was pushed on the verge of death by them, but no one stopped them. He was caught again and beaten even worse.
But young Ivor didn't think so. For him, Augustus was no less than a superhero. At that time, he can even give his life for him.
That desperate he was.
Slowly time passed and he never got to see Augustus again. He just wanted to say thank you but never got a chance until......
That day,
The worst day of his life where naive teenager Ivor lost his motivation to live anymore and sliced his wrist to give up his life.
Just to fall into another hell.
Zombie apocalypse.
Let's start again! :)
