Note: This is (supposed to be) a funny omegaverse story that absolutely doesn’t take itself too seriously. There’s some more information on the story’s page.
Prologue
Clouds gathered above Rivergloom University, slowly swirling and turning the evening sky into an ominous dark grey. The scent of rain was getting stronger, the air growing cold and raw. The howling wind grabbed hold of the trees, pushing and pulling them to bend at its might. Leaves were mercilessly ripped off the branches and swirled in the whipping gusts of the wind. Students, scurrying on their way to the dorms, pulled their thin autumn jackets tighter around them. The frigid air was relentless and snuck in through the gaps, chilling them to the bone. Cars passing the school accelerated, seeking shelter before the oncoming storm finally broke out.
The streetlights flickered, trying to hold on, to keep the campus within their soft glow. It only took a moment before the first light succumbed and shut down, followed by another. Starting at the outskirts of the campus, the lights died out toward the centre at an increasing speed. The entire campus was plunged into darkness as the school’s power supplies completely failed the very moment the last of the streetlights went out.
In a shadowy classroom, a tall figure let out a sharp yelp when even his phone’s torch died. He bumped into a chair, toppling it over, and it clattered against the floor. There was a gentle thud as the book on it fell off. A slight scraping noise suggested it slid across the floor, but where it went, he had no idea.
The sky crackled as green and purple lightning cut through the air, painting the university campus in eery flashes of light. Thunder rumbled, and Jasper Green took a few stumbling steps backward when a particularly loud boom shook the entire school.
Glasses askew and golden-brown hair tussled, he turned to the heavily lopsided summoning circle. Amidst the noise outside, a quiet hum had appeared. As the hum turned into higher in pitch, the array began glowing like coal. It pulsed with what soon turned into a harmonic note. The colour shifted with every pulse until it eventually shone blood red, casting an eerie red, strangely chilling glow to the classroom. The shadow of Jasper’s tall, lanky frame, stretched long behind him, every slim limb turning longer and more slender. It flickered in the light, moved with the static filling the classroom when a bolt of lightning struck a tree in the nearby forest.
The sound of soft steps reached Jasper’s ears. At first they were just the echoes of gentle taps, but each measured tap of a heel against stone grew louder, the echoes reverberating more. Jasper’s breath caught in his throat, stuck together with his heart. He wasn’t certain if his heart had settled to the same measured pace, or if it had stopped altogether. It could just as well have been the clacking that sounded in his chest cavity.
He swallowed the lump in his throat when the sound stopped somewhere in front of him. There wasn’t anybody there, and it was clear to him that the steps didn’t come from the hallway. He still turned to look toward the locked door. He expected to see some apparition flickering in the red glow of the circle and among the flashing lights of the bolts marbling the soot-coloured clouds.
He stared long and hard. When he saw nothing, he let out a relieved breath he hadn’t realised he held.
And yet, as soon as he had exhaled, he sensed something was wrong. Heart racing, Jasper turned to the summoning circle again and—
“AAAAAH!!”
He tripped over his feet and crashed right into the desks behind him. He fell heavily on his butt. Pain shot through his back, but he didn’t have the mind to care.
A pair of red eyes glowed brightly in the shadows of a hood. A pale chin reflected the red glow from below while the cheek facing the window took a green and purple shade whenever the thunder struck. The expression was empty of any emotion as the figure dressed in black peered down at him as if he were not worthy of more than a cursory glance.
The hem of the black coat floated in the air, unaffected by gravity. Pale hands with slender fingers moved to push the hood down, exposing the face of a beautiful youth about the same age as Jasper himself.
Jasper couldn’t help but think someone had pulled that black clothing off a film set and put it on possibly the world’s most beautiful circa-twenty-year-old.
“How boorishly unpleasant.”
The voice was smooth, but as cold as ice, the sound of it making the temperature of the room seem to drop by ten whole degrees. Jasper shivered.
The young man took one step, two steps forward, leaving the red glow of the summoning circle. Suddenly exposed to gravity outside the lopsided circle, the hem fell to hang just above his knees. He squatted and stared long and hard right at Jasper’s face, his eyes narrowing while scrutinising the bespectacled man.
“You are acceptable enough,” he concluded.
Jasper looked at him wide-eyed.
What was he enough for?
Who was this?!
What the hell was going on???
Why was there (a very good-looking) boy right in front of him??!!
Jasper’s brain seemed to crash from the information overload while simultaneously not getting enough information to process what was happening.
It booted back up when a subtle cold, yet sweet, scent reached his nose. He stared bewilderedly at the pale face that looked back at him expressionlessly.
He finally found his voice. “Who, wh-who, who are you?!”
The irises glowed a more intense red as the youth narrowed his eyes at him again. He stood up once more.
“I go by the name of Orion Blackwood.”
Orion placed his hands behind his back and bent slightly at the waist. He stared intensely into Jasper’s eyes as if he was going to suck out his soul. Black strands of hair slipped out of the collar of Orion’s coat and swayed slightly, occasionally catching red light from the summoning circle behind him.
The thunder must have stopped because the silence was deafening in Jasper’s ears.
Then Orion supplied him with another piece of information.
“I am the demon you…” There was a suspended pause before he finished, “…summoned.”
Jasper figured he must have gone mad.
Author’s Note
I’ve wanted to post chapters of my stories for ages, but I tend to second-guess myself. My husband finally nudged me into posting, so here we are. Chapter one will be up soon, and I’m revising chapter two now. I already have the first arc drafted, so I got plenty to share.
I have chosen to write the story like this: Aside from the prologue and epilogue, the main story is in first person multi-POV, while the extras are in third person, just like the prologue and epilogue.
The setting is two separate world, and I will try to feature both in every arc, but I won’t force it if it doesn’t work for the story.
The core dynamic: so, nerdy golden retriever alpha x perpetually offended, fiercely independent black cat omega
Anatomy in one of the worlds are different than in real life. There are also several species, which have varying biology too. Don’t think about it too deeply. Do know male pregnancy is possible though. This will come up.
Chapter one begins twelve hours before the prologue, so bear with me. We’ll get there.
If there are typos or grammar mistakes, feel free to let me know. I sometimes fail to notice when the spell and grammar checks don’t do their jobs. But I tried!
I hope you enjoy my silly (not-so) little omegaverse story.
