Altair was fixing his hair in the mirror. He permed it to make his hair neat.

He wore a red suit that matched his hair, and he nodded satisfied when he saw his reflection in the mirror, "Ah, handsome. I bet General Vega would squeal for me, hehehe~."

Altair had recited many lines in his room last night, thinking how could he woo General without sounding too cringey, "Hm… something like this?" Altair kneeled in front of the mirror and recited, "Oh mi amor, you are like dew in the morning, blessing me with your fresh smile. Mi Amor, my day will feel empty without you. You shake my world and give me the reason to live. Ah, mi amor, Vega Satellarnus."

Altair nodded, full of confidence. He was sure that General Vega would melt when he recited this in the middle of military training ground with a big bucket of red roses that he bought early morning.

Altair left his room and strutted past his parents. Dane Roderick frowned when he saw his son with such flashy suit in the morning, "Where are you going?"

Altair stopped, and he smiled proudly, "Dad, General Vega admitted that he is an omega and also my fated partner. He asked me to come to the military academy today."

"Wait, what about Prince Rigel—"

"Ah, he already said that we can break the relationship anytime, don't worry!" Altair waved his hand and left hurriedly, "I will talk to you later, dad. I will tell you once General Vega agreed to marry me!"

Dane Roderick and Madam Roderick stared at Altair, who hurriedly used their flying car to go to the military academy. Dane Roderick sighed, "Your alpha son is such a troublemaker. We should have had an omega son or daughter instead."

"Hey, it's you who prayed to God HanYe every day because you really want an alpha son."

"Ah… this will be messy. I have to prepare myself," Dane Roderick said.

Altair arrived at the military training ground safely. There was no one in this military academy, which was strange. 

Well, he knew these weeks were a holiday for all cadets. But usually, there would be three or five senior cadets who didn't return him. But today was surprisingly quiet. Even the regular cleaning robot, which often wandered around the military academy, was nowhere to be seen. 

Altair frowned, but he just thought maybe General Vega ordered everyone to leave today, 'Maybe he ordered everyone to leave because I will come? He wants to have alone time with me, hehe.' 

Altair felt that he was walking on the cloud right now. Everything was beautiful and sunny, and he had this warm and fuzzy feeling all over.

He walked towards the direction of the General's office and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. 

'He is not in the office? I thought he lives only in this office,' Altair pondered. He was about to knock again when he got a message from General Vega's number.

'Come to my bedroom. I'm waiting.'

Altair took a deep breath when he read the message. He thought General Vega wanted to take things slow, but it turned out he was also as eager as him! Altair rushed towards General Vega's bedroom and knocked, "General, I'm here."

No answer.

But then, the door automatically opened. The room was dark, but Altair could see a silhouette of a man on the bed. Altair had a crooked, perverted smile on his face as he asked the General on the bed, "General, I brought this roses bouquet because I want to take things slow. I even prepared a poem for you."

Altair placed the bouquet on the table, and he unbuttoned his suit, "But it seems General is very eager to be my mate. Then, I don't need to wait anymore!"

Altair emitted his alpha pheromones inside the room, and the man on the corner also emitted omega pheromones. Altair could smell this pheromone from the person he loved, it was sweet and refreshing like cherry blossom, but he felt something was a bit wrong.

General Vega's pheromone was not as stimulating as it should be. 

A few days ago, when Altair smelled General Vega's pheromones, he got instantly aroused and had a hard time controlling himself, but this one…

"General Vega, are you alright?" Altair asked.

The man that was supposed to be General Vega flicked his finger, and the room was brightly lit. There was no General Vega inside the room. Instead, it was Prince Rigel that smirked at Altair maliciously.

Altair was shocked to the bone. He pointed at Prince Rigel, "W—Why are you here?! Where is General, and how could you have the same smell as him?!"

Prince Rigel sat on the bed, crossing his arm and legs before opening his mouth, "Are you here for General Vega? Well, too bad he left to Sweren to fight the Zergs last night."

"But it's alright. I know you are here because you already know that General Vega is your fated pair. Simply because of his omega pheromones, right? You cannot reject his omega pheromones at all. That is what signifies a fated pair."

Altair peered at Prince Rigel suspiciously, "How did you know? Did you spy on us?"

"What if I did?" Prince Rigel asked nonchalantly. 

"Your Highness Prince Rigel, I've found my fated pair. Just like what we agreed upon before, I will leave and marry my fated partner instead," Altair said.

"Fated pair, right?" Prince Rigel smirked, and he emitted his omega pheromones, this time, it was a lot stronger than before.

And it was the same pheromones that General Vega had, just not as sweet and not as gentle. It was overpowering and dizzying. It made Altair almost lost his control because of it. Altair closed his nose immediately and rushed to leave the room.

But Prince Rigel already locked the automatic door.

Altair gritted hit teeth, he intended to break the door, but the pheromones made him unable to control his strength. He fell on the ground for a while. Like a marionette, Prince Rigel sucked all power from Altair's body and made Altair walked towards him unwillingly.

"You! What did you?! How could you have General Vega's pheromone?!"

Prince Rigel chuckled maliciously, "Of course, because I extracted the blood on General Vega's nape and merged it with mine, it is a new secret experiment. Now you have two fated pairs, you know."

"Although mine is an artificial fated pair, it is still a fated pair nonetheless. As long as you marked me, then your bond with General Vega will be cut, and we will be the true fated pair," Prince Rigel said.

"I REFUSE! GENERAL VEGA IS MY FATED PAIR!" 

"Well, don't worry, he will die in Sweren after I made a small mistake~ Let him be eaten by those disgusting Zergs," Prince Rigel said, "Don't you see? You are a very powerful alpha, and I'm a high-class omega. We are a match to rule the world. We can rule this kingdom in stability and prosperity."

"YOU BITCH! MONSTER!" Altair tried his best to fight this control. But truly, the pheromones made him lost all his strength and could only follow what Prince Rigel said.

Prince Rigel laughed at Altair, who struggled on the floor. Altair's veins were popping out, showing that he was doing his best to struggle. 

"Our babies will rule the galaxy, you know that, Altair Roderick," Prince Rigel pinched Altair's chin and kissed his lips.
