Growing up as a child, Xiao Zhan had a vague understanding of who he was, what he was and what he was supposed to do as the omega prince of Frigon. He got flashes he assumed were his memories before he was born as a human.



He had lived his life waiting for the day he would get mated because he knew that was the beginning of his purpose of living as a human. And his life only had one purpose and that was the third prince of Dawnton, Wang Yibo.



Xiao Zhan stood there in the battlefield, his brown eyes scanning, trying to search for the familiar sight of his Alpha.



The field was muddled with blood, fallen soldiers, corpse remains and of fighting men. It was a sight that made Jiyang’s stomach twisted with amnesia but Xiao Zhan felt nothing; his eyes and mind only searched for one thing.



“Find them,” he said to Jiyang and the two sauntered into a throng of swords and spears. It was like running into a field of wild animals with no intention of returning alive. Xiao Zhan and Jiyang dodged and passed men who didn't care about their presence in a battlezone.



It took a lot of whirling and finally, Xiao Zhan sighted who he sought amidst the chaos, covered in blood and cuts on his face, fighting alongside General Luku. Haoxuan was nowhere in sight. Instantly, warning bells rang in his head.



“Wang Yibo!” He clamored, rushing towards the Alpha whose eyes immediately dilated as they landed on him.



Wang Yibo swung his sword to block an attack and kicked his opponent before sliding his blade on his neck, then he turned fully to the omega rushing towards him. “What the hell are you doing here?!” His voice was raspy and scratchy.



That drew General Luku's attention, and a glare formed on his features as his gaze focused on the omega prince. Fucking pest! Only if he knew not even the gods could  save Wang Yibo today and it would be his fault.



Xiao Zhan reached the Alpha but suddenly let out a gasp. The Alpha grabbed his wrist with a forceful drag and blocked a sword coming from Xiao Zhan's back and stabbed the enemy in the chest.



Wang Yibo threw his sword and grasped the omega on his shoulders. “You shouldn't be here, this is a battlefield!”



Wang Yibo was talking but Xiao Zhan's eyes were trained on General Luku over the Alpha's shoulder and when the man swung his sword to stab Wang Yibo from behind, a shield wrapped them from head to toe and an invisible force flipped him back.



However, in a flash, Wang Yibo was ripped away from him, thrown to the ground and a hand wrapped tightly around his neck, Xiao Zhan found himself staring deeply into the gleaming red eyes of a woman; the princess of Xenia, sporting a sly smile on her red lips.



“Finally, I get to meet the omega prince,” she asserted with a taut but Xiao Zhan's attention was at the scene taking place at the corner of his eyes; General Luku swinging his sword at Wang Yibo who dodged and grabbed his own sword from the ground, blocking his attacks after recovering from his state of shock at the betrayal. Xiao Zhan only looked back at the woman when she tightened her grip on his neck, cutting his air supply and digging her sharp nails into his neck underneath the veil.



“Let go,” he voiced in a warning that made her laugh out loud and threw her head back.



“You are feisty as they say. After this battle, I'm going to make you my bitch!”



Xiao Zhan had enough. His brown eyes changed hue and gleamed silver, as the air around them thickened. “Let go,” a different voice spoke out of him but the princess smirked and that was when it hit her; the strong crash of an invisible wave that sent her flying across the field.



In a flash, Xiao Zhan was before her, this time his own hand going around her neck and lifting her off the ground like she weighed nothing.



“You filthy humans don't listen,” the same eerie voice spoke out of the omega. Just as she once held his neck, Xiao Zhan's grip on her neck was tighter—she struggled to lose his hand, then Xiao Zhan heard it; the loud sound of Wang Yibo’s cry.



He snapped his head to the scene to find the General’s sword buried deep into Wang Yibo's chest through his armor; the Alpha choked out a cot of blood as he held the sword but the General was merciless as he thrust the sword deeper till it punctured through Wang Yibo's back.



It was like Xiao Zhan's heart fell to his stomach as the General withdrew his sword and the Alpha dropped to his knees.



“WANG YIBO!!!” He hollered and with a mighty propel, the princess of Xenia met the ground aggressively and was out cold.



Immediately, he was at Wang Yibo’s side, taking hold of him before he met the ground.



General Luku threw his head back in laughter. “I should thank you for this, pretty omega. You were just the distraction I needed to carry out my plan and now, you are next,”



Xiao Zhan didn't hear the General, it was like he was talking from a far distance as he held Wang Yibo, pleading for the Alpha to keep his eyes open while pressing  heavily on the deep wound on his chest to stop the bleeding but Wang Yibo choked more on his blood and then a second later, he was completely still, eyes closed and hands lifeless.



“A-alph,” Xiao Zhan for the first time in his life shuttered and tears burned in his eyes as he shook Wang Yibo. “Open your eyes,” he tapped his cheek, however, received no response.




Again, General Luku laughed. “My sword is poisoned. You can't save him. This is where the great chapter of the third Prince of Dawnton comes to an end,”
