6.

The omega was caught off guard, kicked in the side, and fell to the ground.

Even though the alpha was always angry, the omega never expected him to ever hit him. He was stunned and scared, unable to hold back his tears.

The alpha gritted his teeth and raised his arm high, glaring at him. “I really want to…”

At that moment, the electronic eye embedded in the wall let out a sharp “beep,” followed by a wave of light. A cold, mechanical AI voice suddenly echoed: “Aggressive behavior detected, target data 180-164, preliminary judgment: Alpha male. 180-164, please immediately place both hands on your head and stay in place. Repeat, please immediately place both hands on your head and stay in place…”

At the same time, the light flickered several times, and red dots aimed at the alpha’s forehead and several vital areas.

The alpha’s body froze suddenly. He took a deep breath, and his mind instantly calmed down.

…As an alpha, he had just attacked an omega.

The omega, lying on the ground, trembled all over, unable to hold it in any longer. Wrapped in a towel, he cried out loudly.

“I just wanted someone to be with me. I didn’t do anything wrong… I didn’t do anything wrong…” Tears flooded out, his body shaking with every sob. “I’m willing to give you money, I’ll take care of you, I can do whatever you want… I didn’t do anything wrong!”

The room was engulfed in darkness. As the omega’s pheromones filled the air, the young alpha felt as if he was drowning in a river of loneliness and despair.

The omega cried until he was nearly fainting. In the end, the warmth, the love, and the sense of security he longed for, turned out to be less reliable than an AI that wasn’t even alive.

“Is ugliness a sin? Are inherent flaws a sin?”

“The system has detected that target 180-164 has failed to comply with instructions. The riot control system will activate in three seconds. Countdown: 3, 2…”

The alpha remained frozen, omega’s voice hoarse as he shouted, “Don’t hurt him!”

The countdown stopped. Omega muttered, “No need… to hurt him, let him go…”

The young alpha stood there for a while, then let out a bitter laugh and turned to walk away.

His footsteps grew fainter and fainter, showing no sign of stopping. Soon, omega heard a loud slam of the door downstairs, causing him to flinch.

The night was cold as water, and omega’s limbs went limp, collapsing onto the floor. He stared blankly at the painting hanging on the wall, his mind empty, unable to think of anything.

Suddenly, his wrist’s light brain flashed intermittently, drawing his gaze downward. It was the woman, unwilling to give up, sending him a personal phone number that wasn’t on the business card.

“[I’ve taken care of everything for you. No matter what, just give it a try. 🙂 :)]”

Should I try?

That number seemed to hold an almost irresistible pull. Omega found himself, almost against his will, reaching out and gently tapping on it.

The light from the hologram shimmered, casting a dreamy glow. The elder’s concern offered a hint of long-missed warmth, and despite the cold tear marks on his face, he found the courage to press the call button.

The ringtone rang three times, and before the fourth could sound, the call was already answered.

“Hello.”

In the stillness of the night, the voice was even colder than the silence itself, as if carrying a touch of dewy chill, arriving at his ear with the evening breeze.

Omega swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he choked out, “Hello, I am…”

“That omega?” The voice responded with a slightly raised tone, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t come? What made you change your mind?”

“I…” He stammered, embarrassed, as the other side had already sent him an address.

“Tomorrow, I have a meeting. Come see me the day after tomorrow at 10 AM. Don’t wear any makeup, just wash up and come to this place to find me.”

If anyone else had said this, it might have caused unnecessary thoughts, but the alpha’s voice was so cold and deep that it made it impossible to entertain any other ideas. After a pause, the alpha added, “Don’t be late.”

Omega quickly replied, “Okay!”

The other person hung up decisively.

The sharp “ding” sounded like an alarm, waking omega from the hazy, dream-like feeling he had just been in.

He stared at the holographic display, blankly wiping away the remaining tears on his face.

…Had he just called someone?
