Krist
The first thing that registered in Krist's mind when he woke up is that his body aches. Terribly. Next is that he's in an unfamiliar room adorned with expensive stuffs that he's afraid to touch. He wouldn't be able to pay if he ends up destroying even just the covering of a pillow. Lastly, the men inside the room with him are alphas.
He almost had a hard attack thinking about the possibility of being 'shared' by the said men. Good thing he doesn't feel that kind of pain in his ass. Now, he just needs to ask some answers from these men so he can leave as soon as he can. Gun is surely going to kill him. He just hopes that it's not as painful as Gun swears it will be.
"Excuse me."
The five alphas in a heated and hushed discussion shifted their attention towards him.
"You're awake! Wad almost gave up on you."
Krist stared at the fair guy in shock. If he's not mistaken, the man is Khun Neww. With his handsome face, muscular built and fair complexion, it is difficult to mistake one of 4th State's well-known Safety Ambassadors as someone else. Looking at the other alphas, Krist can name the other two as Khun Art and Khun Mew. Both are known for being affectionate towards each other. Krist guesses that the remaining two alphas who he doesn't know were the ones who saved him since their height and build fit those of his saviors.
"Ummm. . . what am I doing here?" Krist finally asked after overcoming his initial shock.
"I think it's best if we introduce ourselves first, little guy. I'm Oaujun. No need for honorifics and this is Fiat, my mate. I'm a dragon shifter."
"Fiat there is an offspring of a gnome and an elf. He is under my watch since he is still under the period of transition as Oaujun's mate. Call me Art by the way. I'm your 'nurse' for the time being since Wad, our head healer, isn't around. I'm a bear shapeshifter but I have abilities of a vampire.
"Why didn't you introduce me?" Krist almost blushed when he saw Khun Mew wrap an arm around Art and nibble at the latter's ear. The press wasn't kidding when they deemed the couple as the most overt pair when it comes to PDA! "I'm Mew." The tallest man in the room introduced himself without sparing a glance at Krist.
Khun Neww introduced himself as well.
"I'm Krist. Perawat Sangpotirat. What am I doing here?"
Fiat approached the bed and touched Krist's head lightly. "You don't seem to be suffering from concussion. How come you forgot about what happened yesterday?"
"I remember what happened. Thank you for saving me Fiat. .. Oaujun. I'm just wondering why I'm here and how I can get home."
"We brought you here because we couldn't drop you off anywhere else. You were giving off such a tantalizing scent that any unmated alpha would've attacked you right away. Fiat and I have no idea what to do since you are quite different from other omegas. Omegas usually mate with the first alpha they are attracted to when in heat. There were seven alphas yesterday. If not for mating, then sex to ease the heat would have sufficed. Why weren't you able to choose one from them and dismiss the rest? How come you didn't feel attraction with any of them? Which made us wonder about your origin Krist. What are you?"
Krist stared at Oaujun. He doesn't know how to respond. How can he say that he wasn't aware that he was in heat or that he only felt disgust when he was touched by all those alphas?
In the end, he opted to tell the truth.
"You're not a vampire nor an undead to be unable to feel attraction towards only one person. Also, with the scent you released, I can testify that you're not a sea creature. So, what exactly are you?" Oaujun persistently asked.
Krist calmly said, "I'm not sure myself since I have no idea who my biological parents are. My younger brother assumes that one of them may be human while the other is. . .we don't know."
"Hmmmmnn. I guess that explains your scent. But how about your odd behavior as well as inability to detect your own heat?"
"I thought it was adrenaline that kept me from succumbing to my first heat." Krist is becoming confused as well.
Both Art and Neww shook their heads.
"Nong Krist, such a thought should be dismissed! Not even I nor Art here can control our body when we have our heat. To think that we've been training to achieve such feat for decades now. I can still remember how pitifully shameful I was in front of P'Earth during a match back then because I went into heat."
Neww smilingly shakes his head as if he remembered something amusing.
Mew tapped Neww's shoulder.
"We don't need the gory details Mister 'no to PDA' but 'let's talk about my sex life'. Why don't we just get this Nong's DNA and get it tested?"
The five men looked at Krist. Silently asking him if they can.
"Sure. I would also like to know what I am too. But before that, can I ask for two favors?"
Krist blushed while saying the last part.
Oaujun inquisitively looked at Krist. "What are those?"
"Well. . . You see. . . " Krist blushed into a darker shade of pink.
"No need to be shy Krist. We'll give it to you if we can."
Art seconded what Fiat said.
"I. . . I would like to borrow a phone so I can call my brothers. They must be worried. Also, can you tell me more about the changes an omega goes through after having a mate? I don't really have much idea about such things."
Mew handed Krist a phone. When he took the phone, Mew patted his head lightly. Mew's action incited laughter from the other four.
"He's not a dog, Phi." Art said between laughters. "Anyways, I'll personally tell you everything about what you should expect once you've found your mate. Fiat, Neww and I may not seem like it but decades ago, we were innocent little omegas like you before we met our men."
Disbelief painted Krist's face.
How can they be omegas when they are obviously alphas?
"Don't be confused with our bearing. We are omegas like you. It's just that our scents are masked by those of our mates and our bodies automatically change to cater to the needs of our mates as well as the abilities we get to gain after mating. Art will explain such things to you later. For now, why don't you make that call?"
So that's what happens when omegas mate.
Krist nodded his head.
After making a call and listening to Gun's nagging, Krist allowed Art to take saliva and blood samples from him. By the time Art is done, a poker-faced man who introduced himself as Wad entered the room with a tray of food and asked the five men in his room to leave.
Krist introduced himself to the man who he found out to be the head of 4th State's Health Affairs. Just where the heck is he that all the big people are surrounding him?
"I know that you have a lot of questions in mind. No need to hold back and call me Wad, Krist. Those guys earlier are older than me anyway. The youngest of the five was Fiat and he's three decades older than me."
Wad holds out the food towards Krist while saying this. The latter accepted the food and started eating the delicious smelling meal.
"How long must I stay here?" Krist asked Wad midbite.
"Not that long. I think you'll be able to leave by tonight if we can figure out exactly what you are and prescribe you the correct suppressant. For the time being, take this medicinal pill. It's not a liquid suppressant for the heat but it will keep your heat at bay for the time being."
Wad referred to the circular pill next to Krist's water.
I've never seen a pill like this before.
"It's a special medicine reserved for hybrids of unknown descent. Since it works on everyone, I assumed that it would work on you as well. Good thing it did or I would have dissected your body to figure out your bodily constitutions."
How did he know that I'm wondering about the pill? Wait. . . Did he just say that he would have dissected me?!
"Yes I did. I can hear your thoughts loud and clear Nong. And for your information, I'm just 10 years older than you. In this lifetime, that is. I'm half Phoenix and half undead so I get to die and be reborn right away."
Krist flushed bright red at what Wad said. He realized that the first thing he thought about when Wad introduced himself was the estimation of the man's age.
"I'm really sorry Phi. I thought you were in your 50's"
Wad smirked at what Krist said.
"You weren't Nong. You thought my age was along three digits."
I was thinking about Ai'Prem since you remind me of him!
To Krist's surprise, Wad laughed aloud. "I'm just fooling around with you. I'll be off then since His Highness is expecting me to report to him before noon. Unfortunately, noon for him is a little over 10. Such a control freak."
Krist almost didn't catch Wad's last words since he he said them in a huff. After a couple more reminders, Wad finally bid farewell. But before he leaves Krist's room, Wad called Krist saying, "I want to meet that Prem."
This statement left Krist speechless.
He can really read my mind!
Wad
"What took you so long?"
Wad emotionlessly stared at His Highness.
"I dropped by to check the omega. It seems like he is doing fine with no remnants of his heat. The pill is truly effective. Tell me Khu-er Sing, how did you know that it would work?"
Singto smirked.
"The answer is simple Wad. It would work on anyone because it works on me."
Nodding his head in understanding, Wad didn't bother to reply. All of them working under Singto, His Highness, are well-aware that the man standing at the peak of the world is a perfect combination of all races. A perfect hybrid.
That's the reason why it was not a surprise when Singto was able to establish the 4th State as a Neutral ground for all creatures to mingle and live in. His Highness is like the ultimate last boss. All strength with no weakness. Well, no mate too. It seems like his old friend is planning on living a single life for a very, very long time.
When Singto stood from his chair and approached him, Wad was surprised. This was unbecoming of his friend especially when in a one on one meeting with his Heads. What surprised him even more was when he sniffed Wad.
The actions were unusual for Singto. Very Odd.
"Is it the omega that I smell on you?"
"Ye-yes."
Wad almost sighed in relief when Singto turned his back on him and returned to his study table. It seems like he is just overthinking and over analyzing things.
"After this meeting, bring him to me."
Once again, Wad almost had a heart attack after hearing His Highness' order.
It seems like my intuition is not wrong at all. . . Singto is definitely sick!
