It was a warm sunny day, the trees swayed in the pleasant wind and the birds chased each other in the sky. I really love sunny days, after all the sun is my favorite star, it reminds me of my fiancé's fiery golden eyes.
I run out towards the back door, not wanting to see my family, but alas living with a joint family meant that you were never truly alone.
"Elysian Starr, are you going to your meeting with the young master Hayes ?" A toneless voice sounded from the end of the corridor, i turned around to face my older aunt's expressionless face. The scent of aged roses rushed towards me carrying with them the displeasure my aunt felt.
"Yes auntie", i affirm, standing straight like a good student. She frowns, not bothering to follow the etiquette of pheromones, hers thicken in the air, sickening me even further, I want to sink to the floor but instead I bit the inside of my cheek and continue staring at the floor.
" always make sure, your actions dont sully the briar name " she scolds and signals the Butler behind her, "get James to chaperone him" she commands and turns towards me and frowns at my jeans, sweater sports shoes combo, " ...and wear clothes befitting your status"
"My apologies, i was thoughtless, i will make sure to wear appropriate clothing before going out." I bow, only to hear a humph and heels clicking away from me.
I sign in relief, after being free from the chains of her pheromones and go back to my room feeling defeated to change into a suit and dress shoes, instead of my normal jeans and shirt.
Aunt's harsh attitude was nothing new after all she only ever talked to me to reprimand me, about maintain my image of a proper young master in front of my contracted partner Alexander Hayes, the bright sun of Hayes conglomerate and my contracted husband.
Even though, I'm truly grateful to her, after all I wouldn't know how a elite behaved even if the manual on aristocratic behavior was smashed on my head. I only had the 'honour' of achieving this status because older cousin, the beloved son of the main family, had differentiated into a alpha. How could the Son of Hayes conglomerate marry a alpha who would not give him a heir, right ? But the alliance must go on, so to maintain the delicate balance, I was bought into the family. The only omega of this generation of briar family.
As soon as I step out the door, i hear a james say " young master this way, the car is ready." all in his robotic glory perfected by all the staff of the briar household.
I nod his way him and walk towards the garage, there was no point in wanting to talk with the staff, I won't be surprised if someday I see them plugged to a charging station, with their eternally straight expressionless faces.
When I first entered this house 5 years ago, I had thought this standoffish attitude was their way of protesting my existence, as the omega who stole their young master's perfect marriage solely based on his secondary gender, only to later understand that they were never meant to be human in this mansion. My suprise was immense as my beta mothermina was the most expressive and gentle person I knew, she had created marvelous pieces admired by people for years.
Everyone here, in the briar household, moved as per expectation, perfect like clockwork keyed in every dawn, no mistakes were tolerated, only perfection was expected. The spouses were selected as per best genetic pedigree and almost all the other children were alpha, but the future can never be truly predicted. Desperation To form a alliance between the briar family and the Hayes family had taken root in the heart of the briar elders but the one child they had thought would be omega turned out to be a alpha, all hopes for a alliance was last 18 years later they get to know about Elysian's existence and mina's accident.
The middle child of the briar third generation, his mother born a beta and was always neglected, so she decided to run away with a wild man as soon as she completed her education, and gave birth to a little omega child five years later, having no contact with her family for more than 20 years, but behold the cruelty of fate - when elysian was 16 years old she got into a heinous accident, the hospital bills started to pill up yulians father turned to drinking and that's when the old master of Briar family sent a lawyer and oldest aunt, alice to their house.
