Perfect Nights in Ullyse

Prologue

Five years before FTSIA
________________________

It is not every day that all the tabloids in the country have your face pasted on it. Daner should have seen it coming. He had done everything possible to establish himself as an actor. He compromised and was a victim of casting couch too. Yes, he slept with alphas over time for roles, to keep his career going until he didn't have to. But the dirty feeling never left him and thus he never had any relationships either.

The thing with some alphas is that they don't take rejections lying low. He said no to Borderick Casey, the media mogul and now had his 'trysts' splashed over the media. It was painful. He used to revel in the attention but today, he didn't want to be Daner Algot, the 27 year old omega actor- the supposed future of Mergamo's thriving film industry. Because today he was also a home wrecker and a loose omega who no one would want to be part of their family.

The only place he can be anonymous on this rainy night is the dark underbelly of Garey. He was drinking himself to oblivion when he noticed a man who looked like he walked out of a ramp. He walked around like he owned the place.

"What's a man like you doing here?" asked Daner accosting the man who just raised an eyebrow. Well, usually he is not this forward but today he has nothing to lose.

"Does he have a room booked?" asked the man to the staff who was saying something.

"Come," said the man.

"Quite forward of you, Mr," he said teasingly.

They reached a room.

"Go on sleep it off," said the man and turned to leave but Daner caught his arm.

"I am not a two knut whore like they are saying, clean too," said Daner kissing the man up his neck.

"Let go of me," the man said trying to shake him away.

"What sort of man are you? Am I not pretty?" he asked as he continued the kissing. His eyes were glassy, probably the sweat.

Then a firm hand held him by his hip and the man kissed him. Daner remembers asking for the man's name.

'Raynor Almen'

He remembers a sleep addled kiss against his forehead and a whisper in his ear. He will remember the name every day for the rest of his life.
