Chapter 23: The Duke’s Suspicion!
Rin stared at Lucien in shock, words frozen on his tongue.
An omega? In that family?
The Vortellion household, is by the cold, calculating Duke Evans Vortellion, the same man who created the bloody ’Game’ that treated people... no, Omegas, like disposable chess pieces? That place is like hell for omegas...
And his son was an omega?
Rin could barely imagine it. The Duke wouldn’t care even if it were his blood. He’d throw anyone... if it was his son, brother, grandfather... into that cruel Game of his. Rin almost pitied Lucien’s brother, but he knew sympathy did nothing in this world. Especially not for people like them.
Omegas.
"So... that’s why you keep pushing," Rin murmured, leaning back against the wall. "You think I can help him."
Lucien nodded slowly, fidgeting.
"We started showing signs around fourteen. I became an Alpha, but my brother turned out to be an Omega. We’ve been hiding it,"
"Hiding it? Is it that easy to hide?"
"Well... The estate is big enough, and we kept him isolated. I killed anyone who found out his secret because everyone in that estate is loyal to my father. Tutors, doctors... They were all carefully filtered. But it’s getting harder to contain that secret. My father is suspicious of him and very soon... He’ll know everything,"
Rin crossed his arms.
