Seven Nights, Seven Soulmates

Chapter 1

Wings, hearts, some things are meant to be torn apart

Faith, hope, some things are meant to be gone broke

Killing, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing butterflies.

Title: Killing Butterflies
— by Lewis Blissett

_______________

It has been two days since Emily arrived into this world and trapped inside Athena's body, God knows how much she's been trying her best to adapt to this world without being the workaholic she is

And because of that problem, she had been recently begged by the servants to not clean because she has been caught cleaning many times to relieve her boredom—and completely forgetting the existence of her Omegas

Today Athena decided to head over to the town to buy a slave at the slave market, while she was out, a pair of 7 males huddled in circles on one room as they asked the two pair of omegas

"Are you sure that monster had changed Zeph????" A black haired male with blue eyes who goes by the name: Elijah Jou  asked the blonde haired Omega

Zephyr fidgeted with his fingers before nodding and spoke as he managed to stutter a few words,
"I-i think so?......she..-...she hasn't hurt us ever since the day she punished us...a-and even stopped caring...about our..actions..to..to..M-miss Mariet.."

It was true Athena did suddenly changed and they don't know what was the cause of that sudden change, she wasn't punishing them anymore like how she usually do—

WHICH... was a good news for them

She was even increasing the food on their usual meals delivered to the Seven's shared room, she also gave them better clothes and had their wounds taking cared of

They all frowned in confusion with this new Athena

It was all to..

...New

And... foreign..

Because the Athena they knew had always disliked it when they try to show their affections to Miss Mariet, but now she doesn't even glance at them nor interact with them

She just lets it happen

It's as if she was losing interest—...

They all froze while looking at each other, seemingly to have thought the same thing as they frowned before shaking off the thought

No...

Why would they care???

Athena had been nothing but abusing to them— to her own mates

She never once had tried to comfort them, she had never once treated their wounds

Not once did she showed affections to them

Not once...–

It was her fault why they are currently suffering right now

It was her fault—

Yes,...it was all her fault...

It's not theirs, they're the victim after all and not her

They immediately changed their topic and soon enough fell asleep in their huge bed huddled all up against each other

.

While they are all asleep, Athena was  strolling on the Slave Market, a place where all slaves are bought and sold depending on their prices

She wore a black cloak along with a mask to cover her identity

She was currently on a hunt of finding an important character in the Manhwa who was a male omega, despite his low ranking in this World he will ended up become a famous mysterious Genius on the earlier future

And she needs him as one of her chess pieces to survive this Manhwa

A person who is good at detecting Poison

Aiden Cecilé

Athena walked around the slave market, gazing at many locked up slaves on a cage while trying to spot a familiar hybrid male cat

Bullshit.
Where did they placed him?

Sigh

I look at a few slaves before asking for the person who is in charge here

After a few minutes later they soon came back with 5 different hybrid male cats on cages, my eyes landed on a dirty white haired male cat inside the cage before smirking to myself

Bingo.

"How much for him?"  Athena asked and pointed towards the dirty white haired male, one of their oldest hybrid slaves and one of the most expensive one

"Ah.. I see you've picked our oldest product, are you sure about your decision costumer?.. He's very....pricey." the person in charge asked and smirked to Athena

"I am sure."

"Very well, I shall prepare him for you." The person in charge didn't argued with Athena as business means business, once he spoke that sentence he left with Aiden along with a few of his workers before she was led to a room and served with tea and some pastries while waiting for them

After a while, or more likely around 12 minutes later they soon came back with a clean Aiden and a black shock collar on his neck

Probably to prevent him from attacking their owner, hybrids are extremely dangerous if they are not tamed after all

The person in charge handed me a small bracelet and told me how to use it as it was connected to his shock collar before excusing himself and took his leave

I look at the hybrid that was standing infront of me with head bowed at the floor hand clasp together at his back

A silent submission to its superior

"Look at me."
