DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Auctioned to The Pack: Chapter 4
to see if every omega arrives with their guardian,” instructed the head force of security as he made his rounds to all of us in the Royal Palace. He was a delta like myself, hoping to intimidate some of the other beta security.
I rolled my eyes. I couldn’t care less if an omega arrived alone at the Omega Ball.
I only took on this job because of the hefty pay I’d receive. Five thousand dollars wasn’t something to sneeze at.
Adjusting my uniform, I watched as each glamorous omega made their entrance into the ballroom. I was standing at the front doors, and across from me was another Delta guard. It almost made me sick watching how uppity and stuck up the omegas looked as they gazed upon their desirable alphas. Some of the omegas looked my way fearfully, especially at the large gun strapped over my shoulder.
I didn’t give a fuck. I was here to do my job, collect my pay, and then go home.
Hearing a commotion, I saw an omega had tripped, falling on the ground on her bottom. Rushing over, I helped her back on her feet. Her skin was soft and indented at the slightest touch.
When the omega stood up, my breath stopped. She had long black hair that shone under the palace lights with a necklace of red and silver jewels draped around her neck.
“Are you okay?” I asked, still holding her hand in mine. She grasped it, clumsily almost falling again. With her hand in mine, I felt something inside of me shift.
Light entered my dark soul. Or it could be her deadly omega magic.
“Yes, sorry, I hate heels,” she laughed awkwardly, trying to deflect the attention from herself. Her lipstick was messed up. Our gaze met, and her face looked flushed and embarrassed as the guests looked at her. I didn’t want to look away from those hazel eyes of hers. I detected a light scent of mandarine, or was it orange? It was emanating from her in the light breeze outside, and it was intoxicating.
She didn’t want attention. That never happened with omegas.
“Have fun inside,” I said, annoyed at myself for feeling affected. I walked back to my post, watching as she and her friend entered the palace. My head was spinning as I watched each omega and alpha walk inside. My job was also to ensure an alpha didn’t cross boundaries with an omega. I turned my gaze to the omega with the raven-colored hair who had fallen. Thirsty alphas already surrounded her.
It was bound to be.
She was gorgeous and way too good for me anyways.
