Prologue

Sebastian

.

I sat in the bland office, holding the paperwork in my hands. The room smelled like artificial scents, as though someone tried to make the fake plastic plants smell. They weren’t the type of plants to smell though. I would know. The real ones were currently in my townhouse hanging from their painted planters that I’d collected from my high school students over the years.

The lady that sat on the opposite side of a vinyl covered desk cleared her throat. She had on a doctor’s coat and her badge proudly had her photo and name as well as the title of a ‘Omega Obstetrician’.

“Mr. Keith…”

I smiled, looking at her through my large round glasses. I’d recently got another treatment of laser eye surgery in order to combat the slow deterioration of my eyesight. There was nothing I could do but prolong the inevitable. Still, I was able to see the tick in her jaw showing her distaste for our current conversation.

“Sebastian, please.”

She looked at me with nothing but judgement. “Mr. Keith, these treatments are for Omegas and Alphas who struggle with fertility issues. Not for Omegas wanting to start families without an Alpha.”

My fingers tightened, crinkling the paper she handed me ever-so-slightly. “While I understand it’s not usual…”

“It’s not that’s it’s unusual. It’s unheard of. Omegas need Alphas. Just as Alphas need Omegas. You would never be able to have an Alpha or if you found your fated, then they would reject you the moment that they found out you had children using another Alpha’s sperm. Relationship or not.”

I looked at the woman in front of me. Really taking her in. How much older could she be than I was? I wasn’t a child. I was turning thirty-one this year. Maybe she was in her late thirties but she was lecturing me like a teenage. I’d know, I taught them for years.

“Dr. Gardena…” I crossed my leg and leaned back in the chair. “While I appreciate your concern, I am old enough to know what I want and how this will change my life. I don’t take this decision lightly.” I smiled sweetly. “I also made sure to request that a doctor who wasn’t an Alpha to help me. Which is why I’m wondering why you’re here.”

“Excuse me? My colleague was speaking about your case and I thought it best to make sure…”

I put my hand up, cutting her off. “No. You wanted to undermine my request because you as an Alpha can’t stand the idea that an Omega would want to have a family without an Alpha. And frankly, you’ve only just proved why I didn’t want to deal with an Alpha.”

“You…”

I raised my eyebrow. “Am I wrong?”

“You need to take some time yourself think about this. That’s all I am saying.”

Taking a slow measured breath, I flashed her another smile. “If you even bothered to look at my file, which it’s obvious that you did not, you would know I’ve had consultations here for four years. I’m not new to this clinic, this idea, and I’ve also had to do psychiatric visits to confirm that I am competent to handle this alone.”

Putting the documentation what she gave to me on the desk, mostly because I received this same information years ago, I put my hands in my lap and laced my fingers together. “It may upset you as an Alpha to think an Omega can live without you, but I assure you, I have no problem living my life without one. You, however, set me on edge and I ask that you leave and get my actual doctor so I can speak with them regarding the next steps we need to take.”

I could have laughed if I wasn’t so irritated. Her face was flushed red, hopefully she was more embarrassed than angry. She should be. Alphas tended to do this. I was used to it by now. My past experience was littered with scars and pain that built me into a much stronger Omega than most people would expect.

She pushed her chair out from the desk and got up. As she walked by me, she paused, looking down at me.

“You will regret this, Omega.”

Looking up at her, I gave her another grin. “Just be thankful you’re not my fated. I’d have rejected you for how you’ve spoken to me.”

She growled and stormed from the room, slamming the door behind her. I took a deep breath and sighed. My body relaxed and I lifted up my glasses, rubbing my eyes.
