Chapter 1: Some Perfect Stranger
Chapter Text
Armand watched curiously through the small foggy window in his bedroom as the two rugged men dragged in a squirming boy covered in dirt, dressed only in a plain white robe. The boy's entire face was obscured with dried tears and blood, Armand almost felt sorry for him were it not for the strange circumstances of the situation. Master rarely picked up young boys from the streets, all of the boys living here alongside Armand were always personally picked by Marius himself during a long and thoughtful process and consideration from the famous painter. Armand knew Marius never took in young boys for no reason, if his master decided that the boy was worthy even a tiny bit of his attention then there must be something fascinating about him.
Armand stepped away from the window, quickly making his way towards the stairs leading straight down into the main hall, trying his best not to make a sound as the wooden floor slightly creaked under his bare feet. The only sounds he could hear were muffled male voices he did not recognize, presumably one of the men that dragged the strange boy in. The young alpha quickly descended down the spiral staircase, the voices getting louder and louder as he got closer to the main entrance of the mansion.
As he reached the bottom of the stairs, he could finally make out what the voices were saying.
"- afraid there is not much that I can do, I can certainly offer to house him for a few days in one of the spare rooms, but he must be gone by the end of the week," he heard Marius say in a calm yet slightly pressing tone, "I already have enough responsibilities as it is."
Armand carefully hid behind one of the stone pillars in the room, staying out of sight so he could hear the conversation that was happening by the main doors more clearly. Fortunately, none of the men seemed to have noticed him for now.
"One week is good enough for us, someone will come collect him on Sunday," one of the strange men answered with a chuckle. "Would be a shame for us to lose such a pretty face anyway."
"I imagine," his Maitré answered boredly, but Armand could almost hear the small twinge of curiosity in his voice.
The other man let out a chuckle that quickly morphed into a painful scream, Armand winced as a loud slap sound echoed through the room right after.
"You little- that nasty whore bit me!" the second man screamed.
Intrigued, Armand peeked out of his hiding spot, still managing to stay out of sight as his curious brown eyes finally landed upon the scene in front of him. Armand felt his canines extract at the lovely sight he witnessed in that moment.
Lying on the ground next to the two strange men was the loveliest omega he has ever seen in his life.
The young alpha never met any other omegas after Riccardo, to conserve money on various expensive heat medicine, Marius' establishment strictly forbade any omegas living in his villa, most of his master's boys were betas and very rarely alphas. Riccardo was the only exception. Armand never fully understood why master refused to take in any other omegas after Riccardo's death. There was a time once when young naive Amadeo gathered enough courage to ask his master about it, yet Marius just smiled and caressed Amadeo's cheek gently, dismissing the young man's curiosity and saying that omegas never captivated him and would only distract him and the other boys from way more important things. Back then Amadeo accepted the simple answer from his master as the truth.
But Armand was no longer Amadeo. Armand stopped being Amadeo a long time ago.
Not that his master knew.
Armand always suspected that his master wasn't telling the exact truth back then.
Why would Marius try to keep him and the other boys away from omegas? He didn't mind when Riccardo was around, so why should it matter when it comes to any other omega? And most important of all, why was master trying to hide this fascinating creature from him?
Armand felt heat rise in his abdomen as he properly took in the boy's beauty. The boy couldn't be more than a few years older than him, slim yet strong built, unlike the alpha's thinner frame. His shoulders and face was littered with small brown freckles. Armand had the urge to gently run his tongue along each single one of them, sink his teeth into the boy's milky white collar until the omega was writhing in pleasure under him and his no doubt sweet blood was running down Armand's throat. Armand's gaze slid down to the omega's small tits, his perky nipples visible through the flimsy seethrough fabric that the boy was barely covered with. The young alpha's mouth watered at the thought of sucking fresh milk out of those surely sensitive buds.
He let his eyes wander once more to the boy's face, stunning purplish eyes puffy and red from crying, brown curls obscuring them from the world. Good, no one deserved to see those stunning eyes up close. No one but Armand. The boy's mouth was parted open, chapped pink lips trembling softly. The urge to bite into them and pull on the boy's lower lip haunted Armand's mind. He wanted to lavish the fascinating boy with loving kisses, swallow his mewls and moans of pleasure, watch how those gorgeous full lips stretched around his cock, lick into him until the boy couldn't handle the pleasure and love Armand was giving him anymore and let himself go. He wanted to feel the boy desperately squeezing his fingers as Armand carefully opened him up. Completely ruin him for any other alpha...
He wanted to give the boy everything, shower him with gifts and make sure he was never unhappy again. Armand wanted to see the omega's smile so badly. He wanted future with this omega...
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the omega whining desperately. Armand froze as it finally hit him.
The omega was about to go into heat.
A wave of arousal washed through Armand's body, he felt himself harden in his slacks as his nose got hit by the scent of a ripe omega, ready to be bred and mated. Armand's grip on the pillar tightened as he realized the situation he was in.
The boy suddenly let out a loud yelp as one of the men pulled him up by his curls to stand. Pushing him roughly into his Master's arms. Armand's eyes widened as he involuntarily let out a quiet growl at seeing the young omega being so mistreated. His master's head turned towards his hiding spot, cold lifeless eyes meeting Armand's soft brown eyes. The omega whimpered in his master's grip at the sight of Armand, as if calling out for him. Armand could feel his heart beating loudly in his chest.
"Amadeo." Marius called out coldly. "Why are you not in bed?"
Armand trembled as he nervously fidgeted under his master's gaze, his mouth unable to form any cohesive words.
"M-maste- I-," Armand whimpered as his knees gave out under him, his hand grasping onto the stony pillar in front of him. He heard the omega cry out for him, muttering 'alpha' under his shaky breath as Marius' grasp tightened around the boy's already bruised wrists.
"Amadeo, go back to your room. Now." Marius ordered him, calling over an older beta woman to escort the struggling omega away.
"No!" The omega cried out, hand outstretched towards Armand "P-please! I-"
The boy didn't get to finish his sentence as Marius took the boy's wet tear stained cheeks into his palms, leaned towards his ear and quietly whispered.
"Rest."
The omega's paralyzed body slumped into the beta woman's arms as she carefully picked him up, carrying him away towards the spare rooms in the back of the mansion.
Carrying him away from Armand.
Armand gritted his teeth. In a matter of seconds the young alpha was on his feet, ready to bolt towards the beta woman carrying the unconscious omega.
"Amadeo, stop." He froze as soon as he heard Marius' voice next to him him.
Marius approached him in terrifying silence, the older alpha gently put his freezing hand on Armand's stiff shoulder, turning him around to face his master.
Armand's eyes stayed glued to the floor, breathing heavily as his mind comprehended everything that just happened. Why did he lose control like that? He never felt so distressed as he was now, what did the omega do to him?
"Amadeo, look at me," Armand let out a shaky breath as he finally properly met his master's eyes.
"I didn't mean-" Marius raised his hand to silence him.
Armand quickly stopped talking.
"You are not allowed to leave your room for the rest of the week outside your lessons, do you understand, Amadeo?" Marius' gaze bore into him. It wasn't a request, but an order and Armand knew better than to question it.
"Yes, Maitré..." Armand answered quietly.
Marius sighed as he shook his head in disappointment.
"I'm only trying to protect you my dear Amadeo..." The older alpha put a hand on his back as he slowly led the younger alpha back towards the staircase leading up to Armand's and the other boys' quarters.
"This is why I wanted all of you boys to stay away for tonight, you are all still way too inexperienced with your own instincts to handle your uncontrollable desires, being near omegas like that boy would only make things worse for your fragile bodies. The poor omega boy himself doesn't realize what he wants, poor thing, overwhelmed by his nature." The pair stopped as Marius lifted Armand's chin to look at him properly, gripping it painfully.
"You understand, don't you Amadeo?" Marius asked, the silence that followed was terrifying.
Armand nodded, not having enough strength in him to form any proper sentence to oppose his master. Fortunately, Marius didn't seem to notice or care tonight.
"I expect you to come two hours earlier to your lute lessons tomorrow, no need to wake up the other boys, let them gather their strength for the evening." Marius dismissed him, finally letting the young alpha scramble up the stairs, almost tripping over them in his rush to get away.
Armand ran into his room, shutting the door behind him quickly, careful not to wake up the sleeping boys. He walked towards his bed and dove right under the silky maroon blankets, messy thoughts floating around in his head.
No matter what he did, he couldn't get his mind off the lovely omega boy, fantasies of having the beautiful body under him as he took him plaguing his mind, refusing to let him forget about those stunning purple eyes, soft looking thighs and that gorgeous mouth. Armand placed his palm over his mouth, muffling his groans as he reached into his slacks, taking himself into his other hand as he slowly started to stroke his aching member. He felt himself twitch as he remembered the boy’s desperate voice calling out for him. He gasped, rubbing the head of his cock, smearing precum all over it. It didn't take long for him to release, thoughts of the boy being the last thing on his mind as he came all over his trembling hand.
Armand let out a sigh of relief, his ragged breaths slowly calming down from his orgasm. Pulling his hand out of his slacks, he quietly examined the sticky white substance on his hand. Panic and shame filling his chest as the realization of what he had just done dawned upon him. He immediately reached for the cloth hanging on his window frame, wiping away the result of his shortlived ecstasy. He threw the now dirtied cloth on the ground next to his bed, burying his face in his pillows shamefully.
Yet even in his shame, he could not escape the memory of desperate purple eyes calling out for him.

Notes:
IM SO SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT
I got an awful writing block and didn't know how to finish this chapter. I did say I had a story in mind last chapter, but I'm still figuring out how it goes (I have an ending in mind so that's a plus at least lol) Also note, I'm currently still reading the 1st book so please dont expect much accuracy of the book characters in this.Anyway thank you everyone who waited for this, idk when I'll post the next chapter. but hopefully by the end of the year (next one should be easier to write cuz its solely focused on Daniel and Armand) I'm aiming for maybe 5 to 7 chapters? No promises!
Anyway enough of yapping, please enjoy my humble offering.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
"You're off tune again, Amadeo." Armand startled at the sudden voice of his master. He mutters out a quick apology to the older alpha, gripping the wooden lute in his hands tighter as he tries to focus on the music sheet in front of him.
Marius sighs, shaking his head as he puts down his own instrument. "Knowledge and skill does not come to those who keep their head in the clouds, my dear Amadeo." The blonde man stands up abrubtly, grabbing the lute from Armand's hands and placing it back into its place among the other instruments the older man kept.
"I apologize Maitré..." Armand slumped. "I- I have not slept well last night."
"Should I be worried about your health? You know I would rather not have to relive our last... accident— don't you? It would break my heart." Marius gently carressed his cheek, a small smile forming on his lips.
Armand shook his head, shoulders slumping as Marius nodded, he was clearly not very satisfied with Armand's silent answer, but luckily his master let it slide for now.
"Go back to your room now. Rest your body for today." Marius paid him no attention as he dismissed him, Armand fled the room in a hurry.
He ran through the long hallway, eager to get back to his room, but the longer he ran the more frustrated he felt. He groaned, clutching his hair as he stopped to catch his breath. He didn't know what was happening to him, he couldn't sleep, couldn't eat and now even walk! His entire body felt like a furnace the entire night and his mind was foggy.
What did that omega do to him?
He let out a frustrated whimper, ready to move again but before he even had a chance to take a step he ended up crashing into someone. Armand yelped as his body hit the stone cold ground. He groaned in pain, knowing already that he's gonna have a bruised back for the next few days after today.
"Amadeo, I did not see you there — what are you doing here? Are you not supposed to have your morning lessons with Marius?" He heard a familiar voice say.
He looked up to see a worried looking Pandora standing over him with an outstretched hand. He unsurely took her hand, muttering out a quiet thank you as she helped him to stand up again – her piercing gaze studying him silently as he dusted himself off. Sometimes she reminded him too much of Marius, cold unyelding stare and a strict demeanor that not even the most self assured alpha boys living here dared to challenge, she was the Lady of the House, in charge when Marius was not available. But unlike his master, Pandora never asked, never demanded, she just listened... and sometimes that was just what Armand needed.
"I apologize... I did not get enough sleep last night, master pardoned me from my lessons today, I will go to my room this instant." Armand said, forcing a smile as he made his way to leave.
"I heard about last night." Pandora's voice stopped him in his tracks.
He froze, his heart pounding in panic. What exactly has she heard? About Armand's embarrassing loss of control in front of Marius? How he acted like a wild animal because of some harlot his master decided to house for a few nights? How he now cannot stop thinking about said harlot without whining like he was desperate for just a glimpse of the boy?
"Quite a scene you caused, Marius was fuming the entire night. He did not show it of course, but I could see it in his attitude." She continued calmly— as if every word she said wasn't causing him even more panic.
"It was not my fault! That omega-"
"Was overwhelmed and stressed by the situation, just like you were. I am not judging you Amadeo, I know Marius can be very strict when it comes to you boys." She placed her hand on his shoulder comfortingly.
"He did not even let me comfort him, Pandora! I- I felt how much he needed me – he was hurt. I could've helped him! I do not understand it, Maitré always let me near Riccardo when he was in heat, what has changed?" Armand cried out in frustration.
"You and Riccardo were children Amadeo, heats get — very difficult the more you mature. It is no longer just nausea and fever, Riccardo never got to experience a proper heat."
"I know that, Pandora!" Armand barked out, eyes watering. "I know that what I felt last night was different from what I felt with Riccardo... I felt something I have never felt before. Desire, lust, the urge to make him mine, the way he said my name — it just ignated something in me... I would not care if he rejected me, he does not owe me any sexual favours in return. It would be enough for me if he just let me calm him down with my scent, see his pain disappear at least for a moment so he could have at least one night of calm slumber... I just — didn't want to see him hurt..."
Pandora opened her mouth to say something but paused, instead she shook her head and sighed.
"Marius locked him away in one of the spare rooms in the west wing, I am not sure why he thought it was a good idea to leave him alone in that dusty old room." Pandora said, her hand reached into her dress, pulling out a small rusty old silver key. Armand tried to look uninterested but his eyes studied the small piece of metal intently.
Pandora looked at the key in her hand, then at Armand. "The omega Is under my protection for the time being, Amadeo." The beta's voice turned cold, her gaze regarding Armand with a distain Pandora rarely ever shows towards him. "I know you would never to something vile, but if something happens to that boy – rest assure, Amadeo –I will not let it slide without consequences."
She dropped the key into his hand.
Armand's stared in shock at the small key in his hands. His wide orange gaze looking at the key, then at Pandora. His mouth opened and closed, no words coming out.
"I am only allowing this because I trust you, Amadeo. The omega is in bad condition and an alpha scent would greatly help him. If you try anything he does not like, trust me, I will know." Pandora said calmly, gave him one last warning look and left. Her footsteps slowly fading away as Armand stood alone in the quiet hallway.
"I would never..." Armand whispered to himself, clutching the key to his chest as he made his way towards the rooms in the west wing.
Armand walked swiftly through the corridors of the west wing, he glanced back several times just to make sure no one was following him. He knows Marius never allows most of the boys to roam freely, Armand was the exception sometimes. Although rarely.
He came to an abrupt stop in front of one of the oak doors when a sweet citrus scent hit his nose like an ocean wave. He looked at the massive doors and with trembling hands carefully pushed the key into the keyhole, unlocking them. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Pandora trusted him. He trusted himself. He slipped inside the room, the strong aroma intensified so much that Armand had to cover his nose and mouth just so he wouldn't faint on the spot.
In the corner of the room stood a flimsy old bed with several small pillows and a trembling body covered by thin blanked. Whimpers and hiccups were coming from under it. Armand felt his heart sank. He slowly approached the bed when the body froze and the noises ceased.
Armand didn't know what to say, he just stood there in the middle of the room, waiting for something, anything.
The omega peeked from under the the blanket and Armand almost fell on his knees right there. The boy's face was just like he remembered it from yesterday, the only difference was that his soft brown curls were now even more messy, his beautiful wide eyes were now red from restless crying and a bruise was forming on his bottom lip, dried blood all around his lower face. Armand's fists clenched.
"It's you." The boy whispered, a glimmer of hope in his tired purplish eyes.
"You are hurt." Armand pointed out, slapping himself internally for pointing out the obvious. Fortunately, the boy did not seem to mind.
"I-" the boy whimpered in pain, clutching his abdomen as another wave of nausea hit his feverish body.
"I should fetch you some water, master's old bathroom should be somewhere across this–"
"No! Please, don't go–" The omega tried to stand up, but his weak legs couldn't hold him up for very long so he just collapsed back on the silk sheets like a newborn fawn. "Please... I need you..."
Armand paused.
The boy stared at him pleadingly.
"I am not gonna sleep with you." He instantly regretted his poor choice of words as the omega flinched at his harsh tone. But it was a right thing to say, the boy was not in his right mind and Armand had to set boundaries to the poor thing.
"I... I do not expect you to, but... please... can I at least scent you? It's been so long since I was near an alpha – or a beta for that matter... They do not allow me near the others back at the brothel... I did not mean to disgust you." The omega lowered his gaze in shame.
"No, it is– normal, your heat I mean, it's quite normal. It's your nature, you can't control how your own body reacts to a stranger's scent." Armand sighed in defeat, burrying his face in his hands, he was not good at calming down distressed omegas.
They both went silent. Strong wind outside the window being the only noise in the room that remained.
Armand came closer to the omega who shifted nervously, the boy's gaze still not meeting his. That wouldn't do.
Armand carefully reached his hand towards the omega, lifting the boy's chin to make him look up at him. The boy's eyes widened, staring at Armand as if he was a mere mortal meeting a god for the first time in his life. Armand felt something stir in his abdomen at the thought of the boy on his knees for him.
"Let me help you boy." He rolled up the sleeve of his tunic, moonlight falling onto his exposed skin, offering it to the boy to scent.The boy was unsure at first, staring longingly at Armand's exposed arm, but otherwise not daring to make any sort of movement. His eyes met Armand's and when the alpha slowly nodded, he immediately grabbed the offered arm and nuzzled into the other man's wrist, a satisfied sigh escaping him at the scent of honey and pineapple. Armand watched the omega act like an excited puppy with curiosity. What a fascinating boy. The boy eventually started pressing small pecks all over the alpha's hand. Armand gasped, his other hand petting the boys brown curls. "There you go, beautiful boy."
The boy whined at Armand's praise, his hands now grabbing at Armand's chest, pulling the young alpha closer by his clothes for warmth and comfort. Armand decided to let him, arms encircling the poor boy and carefully pushing his head towards Armand's neck. The boy nuzzled into his neck, small canines nibbling at his glands.
"What's your name, boy?" Armand sighed blissfully when his unsatisfied puppy bit down more harshly. Eager little thing.
"Daniel..." the boy, Daniel, answered quietly after a while.
"Hmm." Armand hummed as he pulled the boy away from his neck, the boy whining in displeasure, wanting to stay close to the alpha a little longer. Armand gently took the boy's face into his hands, his thumbs brushing away the dried blood and tears on his face. He leaned closer, feeling the boy's quickened warm breath on his lips. Armand licked his lips, orange eyes fixed on Daniel's purplish ones. "Do not worry, beloved. I will take care of you now."
Armand pressed his lips to the omega's soft plush lips.
Notes:
I should mention that Armand is the only one who calls himself Armand, the others still know him as Amadeo.
Any constructive criticism welcome!
