Until the Iris Blooms

Prologue

Love is a whispered promise in the twilight, a melody woven through the heart's silent chambers. It is the gentle breath of spring upon a weary soul, a dance of shadows and light, where time stands still and two hearts beat as one, forever intertwined in tender grace.

That is what everyone says who has a successful love life, but for Tongrak it just brings pain and sorrow. Longing and empty desires to be held in someone's arms for selfless reason. A feeling which is not easily reciprocated by everyone. Since the failure of his sister's relationship Rak had stopped believing in love. What an irony, his nickname Rak which meant Love, was one thing he did not believe at all. Deception and betrayal is the only final result of love as per him. Their father had betrayed their mother, just because he and his sister both were omega his father left them. He could not bear the "shame" of having no alpha kids because their mother would never be able to conceive more kids anymore after a car accident.

Even though Rak did not believe in the love between two people, he did believe in family love. Because he loved his niece, Meena, his sister's daughter. Meena was his most precious relation. When Meena already grew up and went into her teenage life, getting busier in her life Rak started missing her. He wanted the love he always saw between Meena and Kwan, his sister. So after a lot of pondering he decided he wanted a kid of his own. When he told his idea to his sister, she thought Rak is finally moving ahead into his life and looking for a partner but when he told her he just wants a baby of his own she was shocked. "Rak maybe you should think twice, your own baby, alone? Will you be able to handle all that?"

"You did it too Phi."

"Meena's father wasn't there but you were there, you are a father figure to her."

"I can be both for my kid."

"I think if you really want, why don't you try for adoption?"

"I don't know, I am not sure about that. They say having a baby changes a lot with our emotions, adoption in that way won't change me, what if I can't love that kid enough?"

Rak was not sure how he wanted to proceed with this but adoption was definitely not in his plan. He wanted someone who was his own blood, he wasn't sure he could love someone he didn't share his blood with. The same reason he can't love or trust any alpha. There were many good proposals he had received in his young age, but he never found the 100% trust he found in his own blood. So he decided to consult with his doctor for further procedures.

In Dr. Sky Patheera's office.

Best omega doctor in the country.

"Dr. Sky as I said I don't want to adopt if pregnancy is possible for me."

"As per all the tests, your body is ready but IVF is not always successful. Success rate is around 40%"

"I would like to try, if it's not possible I will think again."

5 months later.

"Dr. Sky, what is wrong with me? Why am I having miscarriage within days?"

"For some unknown reason your body is rejecting the embryo as a foreign object."

Tongrak sighed heavily.

"But I have another option for you."

"Not adoption, you know I am not ready for that."

"No It's not that. Have you heard of Heat Care Centers?"

"Yes I know. What about them?"

"So, nowadays it's common for omegas to have children alone, our society has changed. The hierarchy is more about social status and not birth."

"Okay~?"

"So I have a friend of mine who has her own heat care center. They also have packages for unknown sperm donors. You can share your next 3 heats with one Alpha, as your test results are you should be able to conceive by that time. As per the contract they will not have any parental rights on your kid."

"Are you sure this is legal?"

"Yes it is legal but you can still consult with your lawyer on this."

"Thanks Dr. Please give me the details. I think I will try this."

Things didn't go as planned for Tongrak, because fate had other plans for him.

Next chapter:

3 months later

"What do you mean I signed to give up on my parental rights? I did no such thing."

"You were supposed to~"

"There is something wrong with all this, but now that I know you have my baby I am not giving up any rights."

"But we don't have~ I mean we are just strangers."

"We can get acquitted well, may even fall in love. 9 months is a long journey."

"I don't believe in love, and moreover it's my body. I am carrying the baby. Why do I have to share this baby with you?"

"You didn't make this baby alone, I am a part of it too. I have 50% rights on the baby. Let's come to a conclusion, if after living for 9 months we still feel like it's not worth it, I will give up on the custody but I will want visiting rights."

"Deal!!"
