Beyond Relationships // KAOEARTH OMEGAVERSE AU

1

The blaring sounds of music echoed through the building. One of the perks of a club is that the sound won't reach outside due to the disturbance it would cause. The rows of clubs in one of the districts in Chiang Mai have been thriving since a few years ago when the district was called the delight district. The reason for it was the specifics each of the clubs has due to the different populations.

The most typical distinctive are the specialized clubs for only betas, omegas, and alphas. Alpha-only clubs are used by alphas to relax and are usually filled by alphas businessmen because the place tends to be quiet and classic. Beta-only clubs are made to avoid judgment because they are somewhat ordinary people.

Omega-only clubs are made to prevent unwanted accidents, such as sudden heat, and to prevent the powerful pheromones that alpha can use to get omega to listen to their commands. However, apart from the three club categories, some do not have standard customer categories so that all genders can enter them.

At one of the beta-only clubs sat on the high stool, Earth Katsamonnat Namwirote, the archetypal of beta you can find in the street. He was somewhat looking forward to spending a quiet night but was all but dragged here by his so-called friend. He can only imagine smacking his friend's head upside down for daring to disturb his peaceful night. He didn't do that because he doesn't want to hurt his poor hand by the impact; instead, he glared at his friend's delighted face.

"Why did you have to bother my quiet Saturday night, Fluke?!"

Fluke, the stupid friend Earth has been cursing in his head, manages to smile at him despite Earth's fury brightly. "Come on, Earth. Loosen up, look around, and get yourself a man!"

Earth looked at his friend incredulously. "So, your purpose for dragging me here is to find yourself a boyfriend?" He sounded disbelief.

Fluke smirked and chuckled. He shook his head and looked at Earth as if the other man was a child, "Here, Earth, boy. You don't need to have a relationship to spend a hot night in bed with someone, darling."

"What the hell, you mean a one-night stand?!" Earth looked at Fluke as if the other one was crazy. "And don't treat me like a child!" He imbued when he remembered the other one treated him like a child just now.

"I feared your virginity would be a waste, dear. You should have some fun!" Then, Fluke looked at Earth suspiciously, "Don't tell me...do you have erectile dysfunction?"

"No!" Earth half-shout adamantly right away. "I just-just haven't met the one for me yet!" He crossed his arms defensively, looking insulted at his friends' questions about his sexual life.

"You talked about destiny?" Fluke scoffed, "Duh, dear, you knew that stuff is only for the alphas and omegas, right? We, betas, don't have that thing written upon our souls."

Earth pursed his lips in disdain at having his idealism to be offended but said no more when his friend sauntered off towards one of the rowdy tables full of tall men playing a game of beer pong. "I bid you good luck on landing yourself a partner for the night, Fluke," he whispered.

After being left alone at the barstool, Earth decided to enjoy the calmness Fluke can't bring when he was there. He slowly sipped at the alcohol drink Fluke had ordered for him. He started to look at his surroundings, taking notes of some couples making out at different spots. He found one that screams in love for him to smile softly in delight, wishing that someday he found someone to have the same connection with him.

Fifteen minutes later, Earth heard some commotions going on near the entrance door. People started whispering to their companions about who had come in. Earth frowned and turned his head to find out the reason for their heated conversation.

"Why are they staring and talking about that man?" Earth saw a tall, and to his dare was also handsome. He was confused about the commotions that broke out after that man entered the club.

"You don't know him?" The bartender heard of his mumbling.

Earth turned his head towards the bartender and bewilderedly asked, "Do I have to?"

The bartender looked at him like Earth was weird, then he laughed a little at Earth's adamant look of confusion. "You are the first person I met that doesn't know that man," he pointed towards the man Earth labeled as smoking hot.

Earth frowned; he wanted to scoff at what the bartender said but refrained from doing so. Afraid that if what the man said was correct, then that tall still-unknown man was famous and had many admirers.

As if the bartender was taking pity of the confused face he deduced Earth was making, which was half wrong, he chuckled. "You know of DT group, right, lad?"

Earth nodded, "Of course I know; most of the electrical products on the market all came from DT group after all." He looked at the speaker at the far right of his seat, "Even those were DT's products," he added.

The bartender nodded; he jerked his thumb back to the tall man still standing near the entrance door. "He's the sole heir of that group; I mean the only direct line of succession for the whole group."

Earth's eyes widened in surprise at the revelation. Why did I only know of this now?

"Why didn't you know of him?"

Earth wanted to roll his eyes at the same question the bartender had thrown because he was asking that to himself internally. The bartender continued before Earth could.

"His face has been splattered all over the media since his comeback was announced last month," he slides a magazine in front of Earth.

Earth's eyebrow raised when he finally saw the face of the tall man clearer because due to the club's lightning, that handsome face was half-seen. Earth's jaw almost dropped when he read the magazine's main issue on the cover, along with that man's picture.

Thailand's most dominant alpha is back to succeed the throne as the sole DT Group's successor.

Earth wiped his head up to look at the bartender, "He's an alpha?! Why is he in a beta club, then?"

The bartender chuckled at Earth's confusion, "Rumour has it that he has been picking up betas to warm his bed every week."

Earth had seemed to sputter at the tidbit of information.

"I think you will most likely be picked up next," the bartender said while looking Earth up and down. "Petite, cute, and quite ignorant of the society." The bartender then murmured to himself, "Sadly, they said he doesn't do romance, though."

Earth was about to ask the bartender to indulge in what the man had said, but a fragrant bypassed his sense of smell before a voice sounded close to his ear. The husky voice of a man suddenly invades his sense of hearing, making a shiver run down his spine.

"Hello, beautiful."

A/n: It had passed midnight already when I tweeted that I will publish chapter one yesterday. Babysitting doesn't give me much freedom to write, so I'm still adjusting to writing with my phone whenever I am free. I only have written (saved on my google docs) until chapter three of this story, and I still have to re-read Bittersweet Love before I update it. I can't promise a daily update when I'm still babysitting my nephews. On 26th, hopefully, the nanny will be back so I can write leisurely again.
