The energy in the room shifted slightly with the adding of the unfamiliar alpha. While the omegas were used to being shown off, they were still nervous every time someone new was added to the already delicate balances of their lives here. They were all basically one step above sex slaves, just a little bit better than brood cattle. They were spoiled and pampered, but the price they payed for that was being passed around like favors at parties, being dragged, sometimes painfully, to bed, to be forced to do humiliating sexual acts for whatever strange alpha their master deemed worthy enough to enter this place.<br/><br/>Every eye was on the prince as he circled the room, though they still laughed and danced, like they had been taught. They needed to be pleasing to the eye, else risk their master’s wrath. Any sign of fear or displeasure would lead to a horrible punishment. Every eye followed the prince, hoping, praying, that they weren’t the one he chose. Better the devil you knew, than the one you didn’t.<br/>...<br/>Alexei knew something he had been chosen as soon as he heard ‘him’. His fake happy demeanor faded in an instant, and he whirled around to face the prince, steel in his pretty green eyes. Before he could do anything though, his master came over and brushed his cheek with that disgusting hand, the smell of perfume barely masking the stench of his sweat. He turned his head and snapped at the hand like a viper, which earned him a sharp slap against the cheek, making him cry out as his head was snapped to the side.<br/><br/>“Beware of this one,” the dignitary chuckled, grabbing the Alexei’s chin, forcing his face back around to look at the prince. Fear, disgust, pain, and anger mixed in his eyes with equal intensity as the omega stared at the prince. “He might bite your dick off if you aren’t paying enough attention.” The dignitary chuckled and let Alexei go, and the poor omega stumbled back a few steps, rubbing his face and calming down enough that he wouldn’t recieve anymore blows.<br/><br/>“He was brought by traders from one of the northern lands, I can’t remember which at the moment. He’s as fair and pretty as the snow there, don’t you agree?” The dignitary patted the Celio’s shoulder, then grabbed Alexei by the wrist and pulled him over closer. “As a symbol of good will, from my country to yours, I give him to you.”<br/><br/>Alexei’s hand was placed in the prince’s grip, and he shuddered, blinking away tears that welled in his eyes. In no way did he want to stay here in this hell hole, but he didn’t want to go with this stranger either. At least he knew what to expect here, with this strange alpha, anything could happen. He didn’t try to pull away or run, though, all the fight had left him as fast as it came. This was his fate, trying to run from it would only land him in more trouble.
