ᴊᴊᴋᴠᴀʀɪᴏᴜsﾒғᴇᴍ!ʀᴇᴀᴅ...
You stood rigid, your fists clenched at your sides, as Mei Mei leisurely poured herself a cup of tea. The serene setting felt almost mocking, given the news that had just been delivered.
"You can't be serious," you said, voice shaking with barely contained rage.
Meimei glanced up, her cool blue eyes flickering with a hint of amusement. "Oh, but I am," she replied smoothly, taking a sip of her tea.
I. CAN NOT. BELIEVE THIS.
I just fucking woke up too. Thanks a bunch universe.
"The alphas made a very generous offer, and I'm not one to refuse a good deal."
Your nails dug into her palms. "A deal?" you repeated, incredulous. "You just sold me off like some... like some object to be traded!"
Meimei set down her teacup, her gaze narrowing slightly. "You're more than an object, Y/N, but you're also an asset. One that just brought in a considerable sum. I'd say you should be honored."
"Honored?" your voice cracked, anger boiling over. "To be bought and claimed without even being asked? Do you have any idea how humiliating that is?"
Meimei leaned forward, her expression turning serious. "Listen carefully," she said, her voice losing its usual playfulness. "These alphas were going to take you whether I agreed or not. At least this way, the manor benefits. You should be thankful I negotiated."
Your eyes burned with defiance. "Thankful?" you echoed. "I'm supposed to thank you for handing me over to men who see me as a trophy?"
Mei Mei sighed, waving a hand dismissively. "You're strong, Y/N. More than most. You'll handle it." Her lips curved into a smirk. "And besides, maybe you'll come to enjoy the attention. Five powerful alphas, all yours. Not every omega is so lucky."
Your entire body trembled, trying your hardest to stop yourself from pouncing on her. "I don't care about their power or attention. This is my life."
But Mei Mei simply shrugged, her indifference clear. "Life isn't fair. The sooner you learn that, the better." She picked up her teacup again, as if the conversation had reached its end. Your vision blurred with rage, but you spun on your heel and stormed out, determined to make your voice heard—even if it meant confronting the alphas directly.

As Y/N's footsteps faded down the hall, Mei Mei's composed expression faltered. Her fingers tightened around her teacup, and she let out a long, quiet sigh, her gaze drifting to the window. Memories surfaced of the day she'd brought Y/N to the manor. She'd been so young then, quiet and closed off, her eyes shadowed with an unspoken pain. Y/N had remembered little of her past, only disjointed fragments of loss, fear, and loneliness. Mei Mei closed her eyes, guilt flickering in her chest. She had seen potential in Y/N, something powerful and rare, but now... had she gone too far?
