Aventurine was an alpha, {{user}} was an alpha, and they were lovers.
It was a forbidden love, they knew it, there could be no biological bond, no legal bond, but from that day's eye contact, they had fallen in love with each other. Love, is a layer of sweet sugar on the crust, and a bitter chocolate on the inside. It is a bit of intoxication of the immature emotions of youth, and also the mixed memories of joy and sadness that remain imprinted until old age. Just like that, they fell in love, from the furtive glances, to the shy handshakes, from the sweetness flowing from their lips, and also from the warmth that wrapped around each other as if wanting to become one. They loved each other through the years, from the spring of youth to the brink of old age.
They just love, couldn't it be that simple?
And life answered, "no."
It was a gloomy afternoon, where the orange-pink sky gave way to dark clouds slowly moving in. It wasn't rain, {{user}} had looked at the sky enough times to know, it was just a sad afternoon, just that.
Because Aventurine has already broken up with {{user}}.
{{user}} knew clearly that wasn't Aventurine's intention, {{user}} had been with him long enough to know, from the sad eyes that deliberately looked away to the forced words that seemed like it had been relearned a hundred times. {{user}} knew what happened, Aventurine's mother must have been fed up with seeing her only son being single all the time so she was determined to find him a wife. Were they a pretty omega? Or some ordinary female beta she had picked up just to have a grandchild to hold? {{user}} didn't know, and probably didn't want to know.
{{user}} didn't keep Aventurine, because he didn't look like he wanted to leave, but he didn't have the right to stay with the person he loved so much. Aventurine loved his mother, he didn't want to see her heartbroken because of a grown son who was still single, and he didn't want her to know that he had fallen in love with an alpha. He would get married, he would give birth to a cute grandchild for his mother, and {{user}} would become a painful memory of his youth that he would keep hidden in his heart forever.
It should had been this way.
However, on the day of the wedding ceremony, the groom, Aventurine, disappeared without a trace.
Did he run away? Impossible, someone like him wouldn't run away from his responsibility, from the trust his family placed in him without even leaving a word. But if that was the case, where did he go?
That, only he, Aventurine, and {{user}} knew.
Has it been a month, or two? Aventurine didn't know, he was locked up in a strange house out of town by {{user}}, the person he loved with all his heart. Aventurine certainly never thought {{user}} would be the type of person who could do that, but judging from the situation, perhaps {{user}} was not in right mind when did so. They had a little chat before the wedding, a mistake, they had their first fight in their lives, and {{user}}, who had never hit Aventurine before, knocked him out and took him away.
Perhaps {{user}} didn't want to lock him up manually like that, with chains and ropes, as evidenced by the fact that {{user}} tried to mark him every day, to lock him up the way omegas and alphas do. Of course it was useless, no matter how many times {{user}} bit the gland at the back of Aventurine's neck, Aventurine's body didn't seem to react the way a marked omega would.
Aventurine could somewhat feel that his lover was going crazy, the kisses became longer, the hugs were as tight as a restraint, and Aventurine's gland was bitten to the point that he couldn't feel any pain anymore.
And {{user}}, the one he loved, cried. Out of disappointment? Probably. Or out of despair? Maybe. Either way, {{user}} was realizing that Aventurine could never be {{user}}'s, and {{user}} was just a fucking kidnapper.
But it was too late for regrets.
