Breaking down walls (Ereri / Riren) fanfic 💖

Chapter "2"

Eren never imagined the palace to be so extravagant. It wasn't like the palaces you got out of a fairy tale, which had pointy towers. It was a big and long building that was lit up with lights.

Eren sighed and averted his eyes, before moving up the steps as more carriages began to come in from other villages. Everywhere Eren looked he could see Omegas smiling and laughing, it was disgusting. But he guessed that they fell into their nature and decided that Omegas were meant for owning, like property.

He tried not to glare so much as he walked through the hall, it was attracting more attention than he needed, and he was already a fucking male Omega. People were already staring at him as he walked past. You could see them sniff the air and look at him wide eyed; they knew.

Eren tried his best to ignore the looks as he entered 'The Grand Hall'; and yes, it was grand like one in a stupid fairy tale...royalty huh. He immediately found a nice space along the wall of the hall where he would spend the rest of his evening. He could see the throne from there, and a smaller chair to the right, but both chairs were empty; maybe their waiting for everyone to arrive, gives people a fair chance.

More guests came into the hall, and soon it was stuffed with snobby looking Omegas, and some Alphas, trying to get laid. Eventually, every one had arrived and music could be heard. Eren recognised the man who stood in front of the throne as the head guard he saw one week ago.

"Alphas and Omegas, thank you joining us this evening," he said. Eren smiled.

"It wasn't like we had a choice," he whispered to himself, quiet enough so other people didn't hear.

"This evening, the Prince shall go around masked and ask Omegas to dance with him. At the end of the evening, he shall choose his mate." Chatting began to increase as people were arguing that they were going to be his mate, it made Eren pity them a bit. "Now, I would like to announce our gracious King Kenny."

Clapping began in the hall as a tall man in a mask, and wearing a crown, revealed himself behind the curtain. He sat down on the head throne and gesture the guard to continue.

"And, of course, Prince Rivaille," he said, in somewhat a plain face, just waiting for the screams of adoring girls. And screams there were.

A man, that was shorted than the King, slipped through the curtains. He was wearing all black, even his hair was black.

Rivaille waved a little at the screaming girls and sat down on his throne at Kenny's right hand side. Everyone was trying to get his attention and wanting to dance with him, except a few. Eren wasn't the only one who didn't want to be here, and that made it better, but he still didn't see any male Omegas.

"What's a pretty brat like you doing here on your own?" asked a voice. Eren stared bored as he looked to his left. He could smell that he was an Alpha, and he was a little shorted than Eren. He, too, was dressed in black and had black hair, but it was his bluey-grey eyes that stood out behind his mask.

Eren turned his head away, "may I help you?" he asked. It may have not been the best question but it was something. He didn't want to look at the Alpha next to him, let alone any Alpha. He heard a sigh.

"Yes you may, I'm asking what you're doing over here on your own?" he said. Eren nearly choked out laughing, he wasn't the only one on his own, why him?

"Because I don't want to be here, there's no point," he answered. He could tell that the Alpha raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" he asked. It almost made Eren snap. He stood up straight, away from the wall, and in front of the Alpha.

"Take a good smell of me, Alpha. I'm an Omega. I'm a fucking male Omega attending a stupid ball meant to find a stupid Prince's mate. It's not going to be me, now is it?" he said nearly shouting, but the girls screams were louder. He could see the Alpha looked a little cross.
