Chapter 3 Three - Omega

Matthew got out of the car that stopped in front of the Crown Alpha building. He is taking Ellie's hand behind him. They both then walked quickly into the building along with the seven betas.

"Sir, we will immediately report the Blood and Diamond Alpha regarding this news, after that we must also report to The Seven Nation before this news spreads in the media."

Matthew glanced at Allison that was walking beside him giving a timetable of information for him to do immediately. He looked back for a moment, watching Ellie who was walking behind him while staring at the appearance of the Crown Alpha building with a minimalist theme and a white dominant color palette.

The corners of his lips were drawn into a smile.

"Sir?" called Allison, asking for a confirmation.

"Shuts all the Western Continent media before I tell The Seven Nation and other alphas. And we will tell them after I decide when the time is right."

"What about The Sigma, Sir?"

The Sigma is a code for every sigma on every continent of the world. They don't have any special code like Crown or Blood because there's only one sigma in each continent, and up until now there are only three sigmas in the world, one of them was here in the Western Continent.

The presence of sigma in a continent will not double like alpha or beta, that's because if there are two sigmas on the same continent their lifespan will shorten by one year per every hour. Therefore, each continent can only have one sigma, so a code like the Crown is not needed.

"Does he already know?"

"Within a max of two hours of your meeting with The Omega, he should be aware of her presence near you."

"That was fast," Matthew chuckled, "how long has it been now?"

"Thirty-five minutes."

"Hmm, one hour and twenty-five minutes left then."

"Well, it could be faster than two hours, Sir."

"Can't it take longer?"

Allison rolled her eyes doubtfully, "If The Sigma is not detecting your condition it might take longer. But I can't promise you that."

"Have one of the betas bring the measuring device to my floor within five minutes."

"Yes, Sir," after saying that Allison stopped her steps in front of Matthew's private elevator.

Ping!

The elevator opens and Matthew pulls Ellie into the lift with him while the other beta takes another lift. Matthew turned to look at Ellie who was keep silent beside him. At least the girl is no longer refused his presence and accepted the fact that she was an omega.

However, Ellie's silent face with a sad and regretful expression made Matthew's chest thrash. He didn't want her to make a sad face like that, but why?

Is it the effect of omega that makes an alpha like him feel this strange feeling?

Matthew as an alpha has never been confused by a girl's sad expression before. And Ellie, who continued to have this sad expression when she's alone with him made Matthew want to disappear from her side, so she won't make that expression.

Ping!

The elevator doors opened on the top floor of the building. The whole floor was Matthew Bancroft's residence as President of Crown Alpha.

Matthew walked out of the elevator while still holding Ellie's hand. He then released them when they were on the floor of the building.

"Sit down," said Matthew point out the large white sofa in the middle of the room.

Ellie, looking doubtful, decided not to make a scene and sat down on the sofa.

"Your name?"

"Ellie."

"Ellie?"

"Ellie Alan."

"Your parents are still alive?"

That question may sound rude and disrespectful, but in this world, it's a natural question considering the gamma lifespan is only fifty years old.

"No."

"They live up to fifty?"

Ellie was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth to answer in a low voice. "No, they died in an accident."

"Hmm, how old are you?"

"Seventeen."

Matthew chuckled, "You intent to run away from your responsibilities until what age?"

Hearing Matthew's words, Ellie clenched her teeth, her hands gripped her clothes. Matthew's sarcastic question made a sense of hatred churn inside her.

"Can't answer?"

Ellie still didn't answer, even though Matthea had already cornered her.

"If you know that an alpha and a beta can smell you, you shouldn't play in the middle of town on Sunday like this. Your way of avoiding yourself from the upper caste looks stupid."

"I didn't know alpha could hide among gammas without anyone notice."

"If you answer that way you look even more stupid to me," Matthew said, taking a glass from the bar table and pouring a whiskey. "At least delve deeper into the people you want to avoid."

Ellie frowned, if only Sara had told her before about the invincibility, then all of this wouldn't have happened.

No, Ellie shouldn't blame it on Sara. This was purely her fault because she's not careful enough in that she does.

The door to the room was suddenly knocked on from the outside. Matthew turned to where the sound came from.

The entire highest floor is Matthew's residence, but due to the privacy of him, other people besides Matthew would have to use another elevator that will lead to the door of the room when it's open.

"Come in," said Matthew, raising the volume of his voice so it can be heard.

The door finally opened with Allison and another beta under the Crown Alpha control.

"The measuring device, Sir," Allison moved her hand ordered the beta beside her to walk over to Matthew who was sipping his drink.

"Come here, Ellie, let's measure your ability as an omega."

Ellie swallowed hard then got up from her seat and walked over to the measuring device that the beta was holding. She stuck out her index finger over the measuring device.

"I'm sorry, my lady," said Allison moved her hand and jabbed Ellie's forefinger with a needle.

"Aah," Ellie frowned, as a drop of blood fell onto the measuring device.

Matthew took a deep breath to the smell of pheromone coming out of Ellie's blood and forefinger. He glanced at Ellie who was still frowned from the pain in her finger.

Ellie's blood was being detected by the measuring device.

And suddenly, after a few seconds of holding back his desire that surged through his body, Matthew tilts his head impatiently. The only way he could do right now is to get away from Ellie's scent.

Or...

"I'm sorry, is it still painful?" Allison asked.

Ellie forced a smile, "A little sting, but it's oka-"

Ellie's word was interrupted when Matthew pulled her finger and licked her index finger. Ellie widened her eyes in surprise at Matthew's behavior.

That man continued to lick her finger as his face occasionally raised to look at Ellie who suddenly felt tingly.

"He-hey, stop..." muttered Ellie trying to pull her hand away, but Matthew held and grabbed Ellie's wrist.

He then pulled Ellie's waist closer to his body, while still licking her index finger even though Ellie was no longer feel any pain.

Her face, which had been looking uncomfortable began to look calm and feeling pleasant by his doing. That expression made the blood inside Matthew's head react even more.

Matthew's lips moved down and began to kiss Ellie's palm up to her wrist. The fragrance of her pheromone can be smelled by him strongly. He looked up again, their eyes met.

And by that Matthew noticed Ellie's flushed face. His heart was beating so fast, it was like the blood in his heart was pumping rapidly without missing a single beat.

He wants her.

"S-stop..." Ellie frowned.

Suddenly Matthew touched Ellie's hot cheek making her blushed even more. This time Matthew took his face away from Ellie's hand and tried to bring it closer to her face.

"Sir!" Allison shouts interrupted. "You can't..."

Matthew gritted his teeth tight and pushed Ellie away from him. He immediately walked away to take back the glass that he had put on the table beside them, leaving Ellie standing confusedly while holding her wrist. Her face was still hot by the touch of him.

Matthew added another whiskey to his glass, while turned his back away. He continued to take a deep breath trying to control his heart so it can return to normal.

He's got to get rid of his passion right now, Matthew thought closing his eyes and taking another deep breath.

"Sir, the results are out," Allison's voice sounded calm but shock.

"What level she's in?"

"100."

Matthew immediately looked back quickly. His eyes exchanged glances with Allison who was also staring at him in amazement.

Omega with a strength level of 100.

After so long without an omega, Western Continent is now endowed with an omega with a strength level of 100.

"Amazing!" exclaimed Matthew raising his hands in the air. He put the glass in his hand on the bar table and wiped his face with his palm, too surprised by the result.

"Give it here," he said calling out the beta to give him the measurement device. "I want to see it with my own eyes."

"Please, Sir," said the beta handing Matthew the measuring device.

Matthew read the result of Ellie's blood which showed the number 100. He pulled his hair back laughing, then turned to see Ellie staring at him with a frightened face.

What was the girl so scared for? He ignored Ellie's expression and walks towards her.

"You are really a blessing!" shout Matthew happily while lifting Ellie's body in the air with his hand on her waist. He then turned Ellie's around while laughing happily. "Come on! You shouldn't be scared! You should be happy!"

Ellie touched Matthew's hand which still on her waist. She of course was still afraid about the result of her strength level but seeing Matthew's happy face and how he wanted her to be happy with him made Ellie's chest tighten.

Is this man actually a good man?

A moment later Matthew lowered Ellie's body from the air and brought her closer to his embrace. He smiled and moved his face closer to Ellie who was looking panicked.

"You really are a treasure," whispered Matthew, resting his head against Ellie's forehead.

"Sir," called Allison.

Matthew knew exactly what Allison about to say even before she said anything.

"I know, he's here," Matthew said softly as he pulled Ellie down from his arms.

Ping!

Matthew's private elevator door opened and a tall man with dark brown hair walks into the room with a big smile on his face. His face looks so handsome, even though there's a little brutality behind it. The man's green eyes fluttered with a burning passion.

"God bless the Western Continent!" said the man laughing, a moment later he grinned happily, "and thank God for blessing me with an omega with a strength level of 100 like you, oh Ellie Alan."
