Chapter 2 - The First Meeting at Azark's House

The moment Rio stepped inside the grand gates of Azark's mansion, he knew he was in for something special. The driveway leading up to the house was lined with perfectly manicured gardens and fountains. As he walked towards the entrance, he couldn't help but admire the grandeur of the Georgian-style estate.

Azark was waiting for him at the entrance, motioning him inside. "Welcome, Rio. Before we start, I have to warn you about something. My home is quite...unusual."

Rio raised an eyebrow. "Unusual?"

Azark hesitated for a second before continuing, "Yes, I'm an alpha, as you know, but I live in the Omegaverse. Don't be alarmed by anything you see or hear. It's just how things are here."

Rio paused, considering Azark's words. He had heard about the Omegaverse, but he had never been to one before. He knew that it was a world where alphas and omegas lived together, but the dynamics were different from what he was used to.

"Okay," he said, quietly.

Azark led Rio through the spacious entry hall, down a long corridor, and into the living room, which had a magnificent view of the gardens outside. The room was decorated in warm tones of brown and gold, with leather furnishings and a large fireplace.

Azark gestured towards the couch. "Please, make yourself comfortable."

Rio took a seat on the couch, taking in his surroundings. He couldn't help but feel a little out of place here. He had never been in an Omegaverse home before, and the atmosphere was different. He sensed something in the air, something that he couldn't quite place.

"Would you like something to drink?" Azark asked, breaking the silence.

Rio nodded, "Yes, please. Water is fine."

Azark disappeared into the kitchen, leaving Rio alone in the living room. As he waited, Rio took out his notebook and began jotting down ideas for the space. He was deep in thought when Azark returned, carrying a tray with water and glasses.

They spent the next few hours discussing the project, and Rio found Azark to be an engaged client. He had a clear vision of what he wanted, but he was open to Rio's ideas too. They talked about the color scheme, the furniture, and the lighting. Rio was excited about the project, and he knew that he would be able to create something exceptional.

As they spoke, Rio couldn't help but feel drawn to Azark. He was charming and intelligent, and Rio found himself enjoying their conversation. He tried to push his feelings to the back of his mind; he didn't want to get too close to an alpha. He knew better than that. Alphas always wanted something from omegas, and he didn't want to put himself in that position.

At the end of their meeting, Azark walked Rio to the door. "Thank you for coming. I'm looking forward to seeing the design you come up with."

Rio nodded, "I'll send you the proposal as soon as possible," he said before stepping out into the warm sunshine.

As he walked towards his car, Rio couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension. He was determined to create something amazing for Azark, but he knew that working with an alpha would come with its own set of challenges. He wasn't sure if he was ready for what lay ahead.
