Ch 1
Lucus gently misting a wilting rose, a scowl on his face.
Lucus
Honestly, these rich folks are something else!
Lucus
They're like, allergic to common sense or basic human decency.
Lucus
So extra for no reason!
Lucus adjusts a stray lock of hair that fell into his eyes, splashing a bit of water on his cheek
Lucus
Just thinking about their pampered lives makes my blood boil.
Lucus
They trip over a pebble and act like the world's ending, while we're out here fighting for every scrap!
Lucus
And the way they talk down to everyone? Like their money makes them smarter.
He shakes his head, a drop of water flicking from his fingers onto a nearby leaf.
Lucus
(Seriously, if I had a penny for every dumb rich person I've met, I wouldn't be watering these sad little plants.)
Lucus
(I'd buy a whole greenhouse and hire someone else to do it!)
He continues his disgruntled murmuring, tidying a shelf of potted ferns.
Lucus
Honestly, their biggest worry is probably deciding which fancy clothes to wear out this weekend.
Lucus
Meanwhile, I'm here negotiating with a spider about its rent in the begonia pot.
Lucus
Hey you spider 🕷️ until and unless you not pay , you can't live here.
Lucus
Wanna fight with me!
The bell above the door tinkles softly, announcing a new arrival.
Lucus doesn't look up immediately, expecting another customer needing directions to the discount tulips.
A tall figure steps into the shop, casting a momentary shadow over the vibrant blooms. He stands for a few moments, taking in the array of flowers, a quiet intensity about him.
Lucus
(Whoa. New customer. 😑)
Lucus
Hope they don't ask for something ridiculous, like 'a flower that smells like sunshine and ambition'.😔😩
The man's gaze sweeps across the shop, then locks onto Lucus.
Lucus, caught mid-rant in his head, meets his eyes. He's immediately struck by the man's presence—his sharp features, the tailored suit that practically screams "money," and an unsettling direct stare.
William Northumbria.
*focus his eyes on Lucas*
Lucus
(Okay, he's... really handsome.) (◍•ᴗ•◍)
Lucus
(Like, unfairly handsome. And his clothes probably cost more than this entire shop's monthly earnings. Must be one of them.)(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
The man walks slowly towards a display of midnight-blue roses, his movements fluid and purposeful.
William Northumbria.
I'll take these.
He gestures to the dark roses, then turns his gaze back to Lucus, a faint, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips.
William Northumbria.
And a moment of your time, if you please.
Lucus
*confused*
My W-H-A-T, sir? (・_・;)
Lucus
For what? Do you need my time !
Lucus
Carrying these plant ☘️ to your... whatever fancy vehicle you drive?
William Northumbria.
No.
*His eyes hold Lucus's firmly*
William Northumbria.
Are you free this evening?
William Northumbria.
For dinner?
Lucus
*His jaw drops slightly.*
Lucus
*His eyes widen, then narrow with suspicion.*
Lucus
Are you asking me on a date?
Lucus
Is this some kind of prank, sir?
He glances around, half-expecting a hidden camera or a group of giggling rich kids.
William takes a small step closer, his expression shifting to one of profound seriousness.
William Northumbria.
No. I am serious.
Lucus
(What?(─.─||) )
Prologue
Lucus pushed off the hospital bed, pain flaring.
Every movement was agony. 😣
Lucus
Gotta leave this place. Now.
He yanked out the IV, eyes wild.
Lucus
(I can't stay here.)
Lucus
(Not with him around.)
Lucus
No way I'm staying. Not after what he did.
He stumbled, gripping the doorframe, then forced himself to run.
William burst into Lucus's empty hospital room, panic clawing at him.
William Northumbria.
Lucus?! Where is Lucus?! *shouts*
His voice was a desperate roar. Σ(ಠ_ಠ)
William Northumbria.
No! He ran away?
Pure fear twisted his features.
William Northumbria.
(How could he?)
William Northumbria.
(He's mine!)
William Northumbria.
(My Omega! He can't escape his fated Alpha.)
William Northumbria.
(I'll find him. No one runs from William Northumbria.)
Lucas burst through his front door, gasping, only to freeze.
Lucus
(What is this man doing here.
I remember him , the Debt collector who always bullied that loser (father).)ರ_ರ
Michigan
Long time no see, prince of flowers?
Michigan
Ooh, don't act so Oblivion Lucas.
We only do one thing. To collect Money.
Lucus
I have not taken a single penny from your gang!
Michigan
*smirked*
Well, you don't. But your father did. And now you pay!
Lucus
*tried to back away*
(No! Not now, not after him!)
Lucus
*Shouts*
why would I pay for him I don't have any relation with him now .
He is dead for me a long ago.
Michigan gestured. Two burly men grabbed Lucus.
Lucus crumpled to the floor, pain exploding as they beat him.
Then a sudden, brutal punch connected with one of Michigan's men, sending him staggering back with a grunt.
Another swift, powerful strike followed, sending the second man flying through the window 🪟 with a crash of shattering glass.
William stood framed in the doorway, a menacing aura radiating from him, his dominant Alpha pheromones filling the small house.
His voice, a lethal growl, vibrated with barely contained fury.
William Northumbria.
How dare you lay your filthy hands on my Omega!
William Northumbria.
You will regret the day you even thought of touching what belongs to me!
William Northumbria.
Who gave you permission to defile what's mine?!
Michigan
Michigan stumbled back, hands raised, eyes wide with shock and confusion.
Michigan
(Who is this man? His Pheromones are so intense.
I can't take it anymore)
Michigan
Sir?! Who are you?!
Michigan
I guess there's been a terrible misunderstanding!
Michigan
We weren't beating that kid for no reason, I swear!
Michigan
He has to pay a debt, and he refuses!
He glared furiously, his Alpha pheromones intensifying, pressing down on Michigan like an invisible, crushing weight. The air grew heavy, thick with his wrath.
William Northumbria.
Debt? I don't care about your petty debts.
Michigan buckled, bowing low, gasping as the overwhelming pheromones squeezed the air from his lungs.
Michigan
We are so sorry, sir! Please, forgive us!
Michigan
We didn't know... We didn't know he was your Omega!
Michigan
We would never have dared if we knew!
Michigan
But our boss... he'll kill us if we don't get the money!
William Ignoring Michigan's desperate plea, his eyes burning with undiluted fury, he grabbed Michigan's neck with one hand and lifted him effortlessly into the air.
William Northumbria.
Your boss means nothing. Your life means nothing. What I care about is the mark you left on him.
Michigan choked, clawing at William's hand, his face turning purple.
Michigan
S-sir, please! I'm sorry! We won't come back! Never again! Please!
William's voice was a low, chilling promise, his grip unrelenting.
William Northumbria.
If I ever see your face again, if you ever breathe the same air as my Omega,
William Northumbria.
That will be your last day. Understand?
Michigan nodded frantically, tears streaming down his face.
Michigan
Yes! Yes, sir! Understand!
William released Michigan. The debt collector dropped to the floor, coughing and gasping for air.
Michigan scrambled up, grabbed his unconscious man, and fled, practically dragging him out the door, desperate to escape William's presence.
William knelt, gently gathering Lucus into his arms, ignoring the blood, the shattered glass, and the lingering scent of fear.
William Northumbria.
Lucus. Are you alright?
William Northumbria.
Speak to me.
Lucas opened his eyes, pain and pure, unadulterated hatred blazing in them. He used all his strength to land a stinging slap across William's face. It echoed in the now silent room.
Lucus
Don't you dare step in this house ever again!
Lucus
You are the reason , I am in this place.
Lucus
And don't show me your face ever again.
