Nate wiped off what was left of his tears. His eyes swollen from crying. He closed his eyes and allowed his mother to place the blindfold over his eyes knowing the next sight he would see would be of his mate - the person he would spend the rest of his life with.
In the years after Nate realized his true identity, he had heard horror stories of young omegas forced to marry old, oppressive alphas. Alphas who only viewed their omegas as pets - used only for breeding, carrying and raising their young. It was especially common of influential alphas in the capital. Nate was certain he was about to meet the same fate as countless others omegas.
Holding his mother’s hand, Nate stood up. He then interlocked his right arm with his mother’s left one - his father interlocking with Nate’s left arm. Together the three of them walked slowly out of the room and down a hallway. Distant chatter grew louder and louder as the three of them made their way to the venue. “Mind your step, son” Nate’s father said. “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6” Nate counted the steps in his head. The loud chatter quieted. Nate’s heart skipped a beat and his stomach dropped. “This must be the venue” Nate thought to himself. Although he couldn’t see anything, he could feel hundreds of eyes looking at him. Through the cracks in the blindfold, he could see flashes of light and heard camera noises. All of this made Nate even more uneasy. He hated attention.
As the trio continued to make their way down the aisle, Nate picked up an unfamiliar scent. He didn’t know what it was, but it somehow began calming his racing heart and wrecked nerves, though only a bit. The three of them came to a halt. Releasing their grip on Nate’s arms, his parents turned and kissed his cheeks. “We love you son,” his father whispered in his ear. “We love you, we’ll be right here. “ his mother whispered. For several seconds, Nate stood alone. To him it felt like ages.
Startled, Nate jumped as someone grabbed his hand. The strange hand singled out his ring-finger and placed a ring on it. Shortly after, Nate felt a second hand grab his arm and place a ring in his palm. This was his alpha’s ring. With a shaking hand, Nate placed the ring on his alpha’s finger. After exchanging the rings, Nate heard the wedding official begin to speak. Although Nate could hear the official, he wasn’t listening to a word he said. His mind was somewhere else. Visions of his childhood, his family, friends and hometown flashed in his mind. Will he ever see his hometown again? From now on, his life would never be the same.
