alpha family

The alphas ruled the family estate. The head of the family, the lord, his parents, three sons, and two daughters—all strong and powerful. Only the lord's wife was an omega, but she was loved and treasured by everyone.

When she gave birth, everyone expected an alpha. But the boy was born weak and turned out to be an omega. Michelle, the head maid who delivered the baby, knew he wouldn't be accepted. But her own son, born that same night in the closet, was a strong alpha.

In an instant, Michelle swapped the children. She placed her son, Chris, in the master's cradle and took the little omega for herself, naming him Aki.

No one noticed the substitution. Chris grew up in love and luxury, knowing the truth but keeping silent. Why return to the closet? Aki grew up as a servant. From childhood, he served his masters, shining boots, carrying water. When Chris turned ten, Aki became his personal servant.

Michelle hid Aki from the masters. Whenever she saw anyone, she tugged at him: "Get into the kitchen quickly, don't you dare look at them!" Aki obeyed, feeling only a vague pain—why should he hide?

Sometimes he would sneak peeks of Chris surrounded by his loving family, unaware that they were his real brothers, sisters, father and mother.

One evening Chris said lazily:

• Aki, juice. And be careful not to spill it, omega.

Aki poured silently, his eyes downcast. He was used to being a shadow and hearing that word.

He didn't know that his real mother had just passed by and stopped, feeling a strange melancholy. But she shook her head and moved on.

And Aki remained a servant to the one who took his place.
