If there's one thing Minseok learned growing up it was that alphas were not to be trusted. This was something he learned at the age of three, his father had asked what Minseok assumed was a simple question.

"What's the best thing about being an omega, little seok?"  Three year old Minseok thought hard about the question, cheeks puffing out and a podgy finger sitting on his lips as he thought. He thought of an answer he hoped his father would like and he told him "being able to belong to a nice strong alpha!" Although he was promptly slapped by his father. "Wrong.

Minseok sat lifelessly at the airport as he waited to be picked up. He had expected to move when meeting his new alpha...however China was a little further than expected. He looked at the last piece of communication he would ever get from his family.    To: Minseok From: Father - your new alpha is also to be your husband. Your mother and I won't be at the wedding. And remember, what the alpha says is what you do.   He sighed, it was late and cold and Minseok just wanted
