Omega's Rebirth

Alessio glanced up at the door before his eyes, once again, his feet had taken him back here, to the last place where traces of her scent still lingered.

In recent days, Alessio’s path would always lead here, especially in those moments when he was lost in deep thoughts and unaware of his intended destination.

Before this time... Alessio could not even dare come out here, he could not reveal any form of weakness before his father.

’This was what it meant to be King... that there was no word that mattered but mine. That there be no terror greater than I...’ Alessio thought to himself.

There was the sound of movement from the other end of the closed door and Alessio’s eyes narrowed slightly.

’Someone is here...’ Alessio thought to himself, reaching for the door knob.

Right before Alessio could take hold of the door knob, the door came open by itself and Alessio was faced with a wide eyed she wolf.

Alessio recognized the she wolf, she had been assigned to Neveah’s care after Neveah’s governess had passed on.

A low, dangerous growl slipped out of Alessio at the sight of the shewolf who was already frozen in fear.

Alessio caught the terror that flashed through her eyes and it only spurred his rage, it took everything in him not to lunge at her and rip her throat.

"Your Grace!" The she wolf Laila finally exclaimed in surprise.

"You... why are you here?" Alessio asked in a chilling cold tone.

This was Neveah’s quarters, the last traces of her scent were held within, among her personal effect.

It was the only place Alessio could find calm and ease the terrible ache in his heart...to Alessio, it was a sacred place.

It was not a place just anybody could visit, these last traces of Neveah were his... and his alone, Alessio would not have anyone else desecrate it.

"I... I..." Laila stuttered out, her words cutting off as Alessio’s hand shot out to grab her throat.

"It doesn’t matter... you will never come here again, do you understand?" Alessio snarled.

"Y..yes... Your Grace." Laila stuttered out.

Alessio let go of his hold on Laila’s neck and she scurried away in terror.

Alessio sucked in a deep breath to calm Terran as he stepped into the room Neveah had occupied before she was taken away.

As Alessio shut the door, he let his gaze wander over Neveah’s quarters, his heart constricting painfully.

Alessio wondered how it was that he only realized it now, just how terrible Neveah’s life had been here in the Eclipse Palace.

Her quarters in itself was small, much too small for one who bore the title of a princess and every single item within her quarters, Alessio knew had all been chosen by his father.

It was a room Neveah had lived in, yet there was nothing of Neveah’s taste in here...now, Alessio could not claim to know Neveah’s preferences, but he did know that of his father.

And all of this screamed of the elegant, naive beauty he forged Neveah to be... nothing of the defiant and fierce beauty Alessio knew Neveah was.

More than that, Alessio could see there was hardly anything of value in Neveah’s quarters while his own desk and bed frame was lined with gems and crafted from the most luxurious wood.

Alessio knew it was his father’s way of ensuring Neveah would never forget that she could only ever be as much as he allowed her to be.

That all the prestige and glory was only on the surface, within, Neveah was nothing more than an item to be used and disposed of when her use was done.

"I never thought that of you... Omega. Truly..." Alessio murmured quietly as he placed a hand on Alessio’s desk.

"To me...you were always a flame that burned so bright, too bright that the desire to conquer you consumed me..."

"If you were to be an item...you were the item I most desired. A desire I had to cut out if it meant sacrificing you...it was only in those moments when I hurt you, only then would you look to me." Alessio continued,

"So why did you have to be so perfect? Why did you have to be everything I desired yet share my blood?! Why did father’s obsession with you seem greater than his love for me?!"

"Why did you have to make me feel that you would be my undoing?! You should have just..." Alessio trailed off at this point, running a hand through his hair.

"I did all I could to push you away, yet you consumed my mind and left me no choice..."

"Now look all I shall do to have you back..." He whispered.

A quiet sigh escaped Alessio as he sat at Neveah’s desk and pulled out a pen and a parchment.

Lifting it close to his nose, Alessio breathed in deeply, his eyes glowing as Neveah’s scent clouded his mind.

Alessio then placed down the parchment and began writing...

’To My Beloved Omega,

Would you fare well? I dearly wish that you do not...

I wish that your days away from me are as horrible as my days without you...

I wish that your heart is tortured and shattered just as you have left mine...

I wish the madness consumes your mind and insanity clouds your thoughts just as it has to me...

I wish that you have known no happiness and shown no smile for I have known none of these...

I wish that there would be no home for you but that you shall find in my arms...

I wish that you be mine and I be yours as it was meant to be...or we both face a gruesome end...

Is it silly of me to write to you in this manner? You must think me insane... and I would say that I am.

I have lost my mind and I would lose more for you...

I would carve a path of blood that leads right to you my beloved... this is how far I plan to go.

May I tell you what is coming?...

It is I... I am coming...

And at the end of his note, Alessio placed down his pen and pulled out a dagger, slitting across his palm.

Hovering his hand over the parchment, he let his blood drip over the note... sealing his words as a vow within his heart.
