Eyes open, revealing a pair of yellow, reddish irises. A loud grunt serenades the whole space; an empty silence one.
Feels like living in a vacuum.
Hold on... Am I dead? Is this Heaven? Ezra blinks his eyes in disbelief.
As far as he could remember, he was burning all over his body. The pain is unspeakable, he can't even project a sound. His whole body gets punched, over and over again.
That Omega rubs his gland. A sting comes from it, but no wound is visible. A smell of blood orange appears; along with a sprinkle scent of freesia.
Ezra knew he's already being marked by Fa. But that's not the answer of the question that lingers in his mind; where is he now?
"Oh, it's a male Omega! Just like you, Khun Mae!"
Ezra turns around in panic. He hears voices but there's no one around. Or, maybe, he hasn't open up his eyes wider?
"He's cute, but stupid..."
"Oi, why did you say that, Mae!"
Ezra's curiosity peaks. He steps closer to the direction of the voice, until he sees two person in some traditional clothes.
"He can't see us, right?"
"I can see you two..."
A younger female shrieks in panic. While the male calmly holds her hand.
"We're dead, but there's no such thing as being invisible in here..."
"Excuse me. But... where are we now?"
The male sighs. "You're in the most deepest, unconcious space in ThongFa's memory."
Ezra frowns. But later, he sighs as well. Expect the unexpected, as always!
"This Golden Alpha has a lot in his sleeves. I thought, he just a Visualizer! Now this? He always makes me confuse!" Ezra rants out.
"As expected from my cub..."
"And from my grandcub..."
Ezra frowns. "So... you're his Omega mom?" His finger points at the female. "And, you're his grandpa? The Golden Omega?"
Chi nods. "My name is Chi. My father is Elder Talay. And this is my niece, the Omega of Golden Alpha Renyu."
"My name is Dara. Nice to meet you, the mate of my Alpha cub..."
Gradually, Ezra gets the vibe of this meeting. It's for the Omega of Chi's bloodline. As they both practice magic, they have the ability to store their memory right inside Fa's mind.
"Finally, he got himself a nice Omega. Even though we're already passed, we always monitor Fa from right here. Since I left him when he was young, I'm afraid that he might strayed. Thanks to the deity, he grew up well," says Dara.
"He almost this closed to drift away. Always on screen, never really care about others!"
"Khun Mae, at least he's a bright student!"
Chi smuck. He glares at Dara with a sassy look. An attitude that cause Ezra to laugh.
"Grandpa Chi, please don't scold Fa. Hence he didn't play games, we won't meet up," Ezra politely begs at Chi. The Golden Omega replies with a short hum.
"Fine! I'll let this one slide!"
Ezra smiles and bows politely. He then shifts his sight at Dara. "Khun Mae, since this is our first meeting, allow me to ask for a blessing. I learnt this when I visited Hua Hin."
Dara smiles sweetly at Ezra before she nods. Ezra slowly going down on his knees and when he almost reaches the floor, he wraps his legs under his bottom and bows.
"May the deity bless your life, little cub..." says Dara. She then nudges Chi, asking him to give a blessing to Ezra as well.
"Oh? Me too?"
"He's your grandcub now. Come on, Khun Mae!"
"Fine. Bless you... hmm.. there you go..." Chi awkwardly placing his hand on Ezra's head. Dara scoffs, shaking her head in disbelief. As expected, her father in law is always an awkward person when it comes to skinship.
Ezra lifts up himself, still in a sitting position. He looks at Dara and Chi with tears in his eyes. At this time, he misses his parents the most. Having Sarin as a family is truly a blessing. Not only he gets love from the living, even ghosts love him too!
"We have nothing to say, but to hand our beloved Golden Alpha to you, my cub. It's about time he starts his own journey and having a family," says Dara. "Sometimes he might act like a horny ass. Well, he inherits that from Grandpa Chi—"
"Oho, you slender!" Chi smacks Dara on her shoulder. That Omega laughs as she connects her palm and seeks a forgiveness from Chi.
"It's a fact anyway. I swear to the deity, when Old Grandpa Sarin and Grandpa Chi mate, the whole village was intoxicated by their lust—"
"My cub, let's skip the part and moving on. We don't have much time..."
Dara sneers before she laughs sheepishly. She knows, Chi is embarrassed.
"But, my cub is the best Alpha you can even get, Omega Ezra. He's my cub, so I put a trust on him..."
Ezra notices Dara's voice is cracking a bit, a sign of overwhelming. She bites his lower lip to supress the sadness before softly taps on Chi's forearm. That old Omega shares the same feeling as well—although he facade his true emotion behind his sassy attitude—Ezra knows he cares.
"Take care of each other and don't ever afraid of your Alpha. Voice out your dissatisfaction, I know Fa will understand. He chose you because he loves you. So, keep loving each other everyday, okay?" Chi smiles sweetly at Ezra.
"We'll keep monitoring from here. And, praying for your happiness," adds Dara.
"Thank you for choosing our cub as your Alpha."
Both Omegas bow down before Ezra. "No... I'm the one who should thanked the Sarin for giving me a family!"
Dara and Chi slowly stand up straight.
"We're grateful to have you as our family, too!"
"Now, go back to your Alpha! Go!"
***
Once Ezra opens his eyes, he sees Fa; crying at the pool chair. He is talking to the phone with someone. Ezra can't grasps the detail because that Golden Alpha is sobbing hard while talking at the same time; making his words mumble.
Ezra wakes up slowly, cracking his back in the process. He grunts in pain, letting out a deep sigh that finally attracts Fa. He dashes immediately to Ezra, pulling him into a deep embrace while wailing his eyes out.
"Tsk, can you please be gentle? My whole body just burned!" Ezra grunts. Fa softly letting go of his Omega. Tears are pooling in his eyes while he checks on Ezra.
"I'm sorry! I should've listened to Mei—"
"What's done is done, Fa. Don't have regrets, please..." says Ezra. "Besides, I had such a wonderful meeting with your mom and Grandpa Chi just now. See, how powerful you are? You sent me directly to your ancestors!"
Fa pulls Ezra back into his embrace. Those words sound nothing, but for him, Ezra is still mad. He almost killed his Omega by his own hand. Who would like that experience anyway?
"Hey..." Ezra sneers. "Stop crying, will you? I am soaking wet, and you drizzle me with more water?"
"I'm almost losing you, of course I am sad!"
"But, here I am, still alive!" Ezra replies. He pushes Fa's body away for a bit. "Besides, your mom told me to take care of you. They hand you to me, so I need to hold this responsibility. They wanna us to be happy, so please stop crying."
Fa nods faintly. He wipes his cheek and smiles at Ezra. "Anyway, we're now a mate. You're mine. I am yours..."
"Yes. We're mate now. But..."
Fa blinks and wait.
"Can we hold on the mating part?"
"Anything you want, baby... anything..." Fa continues crying in Ezra's embrace. That Omega sneers in annoyance, patting his Golden Alpha's shoulder softly.
"What a drama king!"
