7 years ago…

“What do you want from me?” The eighteen-year-old Nexus asked his three male Alpha classmates surrounding him, his voice firm and held no fear at all.

Nexus was on his way home when the three alphas stopped him and dragged him into an alley where only a few people were passing by. And here's Nexus right now, leaning against the concrete wall of the alley, surrounded by the three alphas, who are all grinning while staring at him.

“Come on, Nexus. You know what we want from you,” Ferdie answered while still grinning.

“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Nexus answered with his fists clenched.

Drake, another alpha classmate of his, whistled, and with a sadistic smile on his face, he said, “Trying to act innocent, huh?”

His other Alpha classmate, Janus, looked at Drake. “But what if he’s really innocent? Aren’t we very lucky then? We’ll be the first ones to fuck him,” Janus said, then looked back at him. “Just thinking that we'll be the ones to get this omega’s virginity is making me excited.”

Nexus’s clenched fists tightened.

Just listening to the three Alphas is already making his blood boil with anger.

These assholes just do whatever they want because they know they can get away from the mess and trouble they’ve caused and will cause.

He knew the three very well. These three alphas came from three of the most well-known clans in their province.

Ferdie Fernandez, the one and only son of Ferdinand Fernandez, was the owner of the biggest private hospital in their province. Drake Dela Merced, son of one of the town’s most famous lawyers, and last, Janus Mercado, son of the mayor of their town. The three came from wealthy and powerful clans that had lots of connections. That is why they are acting so proud and high-headed.

Ferdie brought its face close to his, closed its eyes, and acted as if it was inhaling his scent. “Damn! I can smell your pheromones,” Ferdie said as he opened his eyes and stared at him. “You are emitting this pheromone as if you are telling us how much you want us to devour you.”

Lies. He is not in heat nor close to his heat period, so there is no way that he is emitting pheromones now.

He wanted to slap Ferdie in the face, but he restrained himself. He doesn’t want them to get into trouble, for it will only cause problems for him. If it’s just a verbal argument, then there is no problem. He can deal with Ferdie. But in a physical fight, he knows he has to control himself especially, and he knows that it’s only him that will be damned.

The three Alpha idiots just act as if they’re big shots, but they are all cowards who have done nothing but hide behind their father’s power and connections.

He met the eyes of the still-grinning Ferdie.

Ah, if only he could spit in his face.

“What? Will you beg now? Will you ask us to fill that slutty omega hole of yours?”

He wanted to puke at what Ferdie said. Not even in the dream did he think of being touched by them. Not even the tip of their finger.

Nexus scoffed. “Nah. I was just thinking, can’t you find anyone else who wants to fuck you? Well, that’s understandable. With that face of yours, it’s not surprising anymore if no one wants to be with you.” He replied with a grin, which caused Ferdie’s face to darken. Its eyebrows were almost touching, and its nose was flaring with anger.

He hit the spot again.

Ferdie doesn’t want anyone to make fun of his face. The guy thinks so highly of himself that he can’t accept it whenever people say that he is ‘not too good-looking.’

“What did you say, slutty omega?” Ferdie yelled as he pulled the collar of his shirt. “What did you fucking say?”

Nexus widened his grin.

If Ferdie thought he would scare Nexus, well, he's wrong.

“Do you want me to say it again? Fine! And this time, I’ll make it clear. I said, With that ugly look on your face, it’s no wonder why no one is hitting on you and why nobody wants to be with you.” He then faked a laugh. “So? Is it clear to you now? Or do you want me to repeat it? That’s fine with me.”

He could see how Ferdie’s jaw clenched. He also tightened his grip on his shirt so much that it suffocated him.

Ferdie’s eyes narrowed, and his teeth gritted in anger. “You, bitch. How dare you insult me!” He then looked at Drake and Janus, and a devilish grin appeared on his face again that somehow caused Nexus to get nervous. “You two know what to do.”

Janus and Drake grinned back.

“This is what I have been waiting for,” said Janus.

“Ah, finally! We’re going to have a taste of this omega now, huh?” Drake said.

And that’s how Nexus’ eyes widened in shock when Janus and Drake suddenly forced him to turn around, and then the two held both of his hands, not letting him make a move.

His chest throbbed. He already has a rough idea of what the three are planning.

“What are you doing?” He was getting alarmed. “Hey! Let me go!” he shouted angrily as he tried to escape from Janus and Drake’s grasp. But the more he tries to resist, the tighter Janus and Drake’s hold on him gets.

The two just laughed at him, like they were just playing with him.

He continued to struggle, trying to get away from them, but he just couldn’t. Nexus was about to yell at them again when he felt a finger on his back, tracing the backbone that caused him to shiver in nervousness. The throbbing in his chest went even wilder.

“Cat got your tongue, eh?” said Ferdie, whose finger is still tracing his backbone. Then he brought his mouth close to his ear and whispered, “Have you finally ended your innocent act? Will you surrender your body to us now?”

He moved his body again, trying to make Ferdie get away from him, but instead of moving him away, Ferdie just moved even closer, making him feel it’s the body. Ferdie then moved his lower body on his ass, making him feel his cock.

Disgusting!

He felt like he was going to throw up at what Ferdie was doing. If only he could hit his ball right now, he would do it. Fuck problems and connections! He doesn’t care anymore even if Ferdie’s father would put him in jail if he even hurt him. All he wanted right now was to punch Ferdie’s face and kick his balls as hard as he could.

“Get the fuck away from me!” he shouted angrily, but the three only laughed at him.

And even before he could scream again, Ferdie had already covered his mouth with his hand. And the next thing he felt was Ferdie’s free hand started caressing her hips up to his waist, giving him goosebumps and making him shiver in fear and nervousness.

“Let’s see how much courage you have,” said Drake, who had a maniacal grin on his face.

“Your waist is so slim,” Ferdie suddenly said, continuing to caress his waist. “I wonder how long this slim waist of yours can last. Will we be able to break this easily?”

“Damn! I’m already horny, Ferdie. Just start fucking him now! You know I’ve been wanting to taste Mercado for a long time now,” said Janus, who’s running out of patience.

“Relax, Janus. We still have plenty of time. We can take our time devouring this omega,” Ferdie replied.

“Fuck you! Fuck all of you!”

Nexus’s muffled shouts echoed as he still did not stop struggling to get away from the three. Ferdie just laughed at what he said, which made him madder than he already was.

“Don’t worry, Nexus. We are going to fuck your brains out until you can’t walk anymore.”

And before he could answer what Ferdie said, he already felt Ferdie’s hands travel towards his ass.

Ferdie started caressing his buttocks, but later on, he started pinching it, making him flinch.

“Get your filthy hands off me! Stop it! Don’t touch me! Get away from me!” he shouted in disgust.

The nervousness he was feeling was already too much. His heartbeat seemed to have tripled. He is also sweating. Various scenarios are already entering his mind. Scenarios that he often sees and hears on television and on the radio news. Omegas who have been raped or Omegas that Alphas have forcefully marked or paired with. And he doesn’t want that to happen! No way in hell he would let himself be marked by an Alpha. There is no way in hell he would be tied to an Alpha!

So even though he felt so nervous, he still tried to get away from the three. He struggled as far as he could while he was screaming, telling them not to touch him and to get away from him, but they weren’t listening to him. They just pretended as if they had heard nothing. They continued to laugh maniacally while restraining him, and Ferdie was touching his butt. And he was about to go crazy when Ferdie’s hands traveled again and went to the front side of his pants. He screamed repeatedly; he didn’t even care anymore if he lost his voice. He just wanted to get away from them.

But his screaming was cut off when Ferdie suddenly covered his mouth with his hand while his other hand had already started unbuttoning his pants. And when Ferdie has successfully unbuttoned his pants, that’s when he feels like he has lost his strength. Like his body had been wrapped in nervousness and fear, so he shivered.

No, no, no, no. That was what his mind repeatedly whispered as Ferdie started pulling down the zipper of his pants.

And the next thing he knew, Ferdie was already slowly lowering his pants, including the boxers he was wearing.

No, no, no, no. This can’t be happening. No!

And when Ferdie caressed his naked back, that’s when he completely lost all hope of getting away. So he just closed his eyes and just prayed that there would be a miracle so that he could get rid of the three.

But God did not hear his prayer. Because nobody passed by and stopped the three Alphas. Nobody came to help him. Nobody came to save him. Nobody came to save the helpless omega from the lustful alphas.

Nobody.
