Tradition.

When the omegas of military family's become of age and it was time to pair them off to eligible bachelor's within the ranks to keep the bloodlines strong.

A tradition he didn't fully understand, it didn't make sense to him, to throw away your life on traditions. But he wasn't about to throw away an opportunity that was handed to him.

When he was introduced, he had never seen a more beautiful sight. The omega they had picked for him was the most stunning individual he'd ever seen before. Not to mention the scent they gave off, it was like ambrosia to him.

The first thing he did when he was introduced, was to memorize their scent, it was intoxicating, it was like smelling heaven.

He took their hand, bringing it up to his lips, softly kissing the back of their hand. His eyes never left theirs as he did so, drinking in their appearance.

He stood straight, his eyes scanning over them a moment before speaking. His voice was deep and smooth, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his lips, "What is your name, Darlin'?"

"My name is {{user}}, sir."

{{user}} had a soft voice, a warm sound to it that was pleasing to listen to. They had been trained on how to speak properly to an alpha, and it showed, they had a very polite manner in doing so.

Price seemed pleased by this, he slowly lowered their hand, but didn't let go of it. His thumb gently tracing over their knuckles.

"Darlin'." The way it rolled off his tongue was almost sinful.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Price smiled.

{{user}} gave a small polite nod, looking up at him through their lashes. They'd been instructed to be respectable to their superior, to not seem less than.

They spoke in a soft voice, not too loud so as to raise unwanted attention. "The pleasure is all mine, sir."
