"Welcome to the Ou Academy, Lady Sarin!"
A lady; probably 40 years old, entered the Principal Star's office in poise. She wears a green ostrich long draped dress with a pair of nude Mary Jane shoes, hair is put in a low bun—tilted a bit to the right.
"Lady Sarin, it's been ages!"
"No need for the formality, Principal Star. You're just embarrassing me!" the woman laughs faintly. Principal Star smiles as she offers the lady to seat on the leather couch.
"How can I act casual in front of a daughter-in-law of the Sarin family..." says Principal Star. "They might behead me."
Mei chuckles as she slaps her long finger onto Principal Star's lap, jokingly asks her to stop teasing her. "Aiyah, that's so ancient! No one slits other people's throats just because they act casual with their friends..." Mei smiles, flashing her demeur feature.
Mei is an alumnus of the Ou Academy. A former Head of the Student Council, an all-rounder Omega apprentice. No wonder the most prestige family like The Sarin chose her as the Omega for their Alpha son, Kawei. Mei is an example of a lucky Omega who gets a golden ticket to go abroad. Not only that, she is also lucky enough to be a part of royalty like The Sarin.
"What makes you come for a visit? I know you won't come empty-handed," says Principal Star.
Mei lets out a faint smile, sipping her tea in elegance before her sight falls to Principal Star. "You do know me well, Ma'am."
"How can I not know my student, Lady Sarin?"
Mei nods in agreement. She takes a deep breath, before carefully stacking her words.
"I am here to bid an Omega for The Sarin male Alpha grandson..."

"Yarh... can you please stay still, Tish?" Rei pinches her friend's forearm. The antsy Omega let out a small shriek before she smacked Rei's hand away.
"I am tired..."
"I know. Me too! Q is tired as well, I mean, he must be even more tired than us!"
Eyes on Q. He is sitting silently, undoing a seam from a dark blue dress in his hand. He sticks out his right leg which is wrapped with a white cast. "Don't drag me into your drama. I just want some peace, Omegas..." he sneers, eyes still on the seam.
"Do you need to go to the toilet, Q?" Rei asks out of concern. Q shakes his head as a response.
That night, a car hit Q, causing him a broken leg and a minor concussion. Luckily, he survived and nothing serious happened. However, due to his accident, he had to skip the final exam. Therefore, missing his spot for this year's graduation.
To be honest, Q feels divided about the overcome.
On one side, he feels relieved that he doesn't need to go to that unknown Alpha who bid him before. The family decided to withdraw the bid due to his injury. Who wants a temporary cripple Omega anyway, right? It will only add more burden.
Yet, on the other side, Q feels sad. After the accident, Mr. Sky is nowhere to be found. He didn't even log in to his MewMew Land account. Vanish just like that. He feels betrayed which cause a deep wound inside him. It takes him a while to accept the fact that he probably got scammed by the man. Even so, it is impossible, judging by how the Alpha treated him throughout those years.
Now, Q is living in confusion and anger.
"I am glad that Q managed to join us. Though, you need to extend your study until next year," Tish stares at Q with a sorrowful look.
"Ehey, no need to be sad over this, Tish. Consider me lucky, at least I can prepare myself more. And, do better in my exam!"
Tish sneers when Q shows his silly face. She knows, Q is teasing her for having a hard time during the exam.
"I wish you'll get a great family, Q. At least, you can slowly move on from Mr. Sky..."
Q's smiles slowly faded away. He scoffs a bit, before handing back the black dress to Rei. "Right now, I just want to do my best. I don't care about anything anymore."
The room feels cold. Everyone shares the sorrow of those words. Tomorrow, they will experience real life for, first time since they were enrolled in Ou Academy. It's not a drill anymore; no Beta teachers to correct them, no more friends to share the pain and happiness. They will start their life with a group of strangers and serve their Alpha respectively.
"You're lucky to be a part of Dr. Rosy's family, Rei..." says Tish. She looks at her friend who smiles sweetly at her.
"Oh yeah, she knows I want to pursue my studies in medicine. I feel glad, though it's scary to think the age gap between me and her brother..."
"Older Alpha has more experience, if you know what I mean..."
Rei smacks Tish's shoulder, channeling her frustration and shyness. Q laughs, enjoying the conversation at ease.
"You can ask Q for any tips. He's quite a pro himself, too!"
"Tish, I'm in a relationship but never in that field. I can give some tacky, sweet for nothing tips but not tips on how to do that," Q slowly shoves his index finger into a soft sponge with a slit in the middle to stick some needles. "I am practically a V myself."
Discussing the flower and bees talk sends a shiver down the body. They laugh together to swipe away the awkwardness and embarrassment.
"Oh, I heard War is assigned to the military Alpha family. His Alpha candidate is in the special force," says Tish.
"That's... I don't know which part is scarier; the fact that you will have a stern, overflow masculine Alpha husband, or the fact that you just escaped the strict system of Ou Academy, only to have much worse!" Rei huffs.
"At least, they are generous enough to let Saw live nearby. I guess, that's just the price that War needs to pay for his freedom. For him, maybe, it's nothing compared to his bond with his twin," Q replies. "And... It's an Alpha wife, not a husband. His Alpha is a female."
"What? Wow... lucky him..."
"How so?" Q looks at these Omegas who shriek in envy.
"Female Alphas tend to baby their Omegas, especially when they are way younger," Rei explains.
"Not to mention, a female Alpha is less rugged than a male Alpha. A male Alpha screams masculinity, but a female Alpha screams power," Tish adding more.
"Where did you guys learn all this?" Q is in shock. He realizes that he is one day old after learning this.
"Ah... we read that in manhwa..."
Q's face bleaks, as he realizes these two female Omegas are full in delulu mind. He chuckles as he playfully smacks them with the flower in his hand.
"Are you looking for someone, sir?"
A voice from the entrance of the room halts their conversation. The three Omegas shift their sight towards the voice only to see a male, standing straight at the door. He wears a black turtle neck tops with a black slacks. His half bun compliments his sharp look.
Q's face immediately shoots in horror.
It's that male! The dark vibe Beta!
Is he here to expose me?
