Eren sat naked in the glistening lake, sighing in satisfaction at the feeling of all the dirt and grime cleansed off his body. Letting his head fall back and running his fingers through his wet hair, Eren hummed softly, smiling lightly at the feeling of the sun against his skin. Making his wet skin glitter beautifully.

Large, healthy trees surrounded him, giving him some privacy and sense of security. Well. . . at least some. He scowled. If he hadn't been kidnapped, betrothed to an asshole, or maybe have his kidnapper nearby in the trees watching him, he was sure, that no doubt, this place would've felt more. . . safe and peaceful.

He sighed and dropped his hands into the water, causing it to splash against him. He looked up at the sky, watching as clouds floated around slowly. I wish I was free, he thought, gazing up at a beautiful blue bird that flew by.

Then said beautiful bird was shot down with an arrow.

Gasping in absolute horror, Eren whipped around to shout at the killer who dropped down from his hiding place in the trees. "What the hell!" He screamed in outrage. "Why did you kill it, you fucking heartless prick!?"

Marco ignored Eren's angry shouting and cursing as he went to retrieve the body of the bird. Lifting it up by the feet, and holding the dangling body upside down for Eren to see. "Breakfast," he said nonchalantly.

"Like hell I'd eat that!" Eren growled in horror and disgust.

Marco scoffed and stepped forward towards the naked omega.

"Wh. . . What--" Unconsciously, Eren covered himself with his arms, cheeks turning red as Marco got nearer and nearer until the alpha stood in front of the omega, leaning down to grab the prince's chin and gripping it tightly.

"It's no different from what you eat at your luxurious castle, my prince." Marco murmured, his face dangerously close to Eren's red one. Then Marco released him and turned away, calling out as he walked back to their little spot. "And you can starve if you want, it's your choice."

Eren glared at the alpha's back, anger vibrating through his body as he watched the alpha walk away. How dare he! He snarled internally.

●《☆》●

Eren sat on a fallen log, elbows resting on his knees and chin in the palm of his hands as he huffed, ignoring the sounds of the two alphas eating in front of him. As much as he was hungry, he couldn't bring himself to eat the bird he had just seen not even three hours ago. The thought made him sick to his stomach.

"This is one delicious bird!" Jean smirked, sinking his sharp teeth into the cooked meat and ripping out a chunk. The image reminded Eren of a wolf feasting upon it's prey's corpse.

He shivered.

He glanced towards Marco and asked, "Uhm, where exactly are you guys taking me?" He dreaded to know the answer.

Marco swallowed the food in his mouth before responding but not looking at Eren. "Considering you unexpectedly interrupted our job, and we had no choice but to take you along, I'd say we'd probably sell you off to the underground, besides," He then threw Eren a dark, and feral grin that had Eren freezing in fright. "A pretty and pure omega like you, the prince no less, would give us a hefty price."

Eren shook his head in disbelief, eyes wide and terrified at the thought of being sold around just for an alpha's pleasure. "Y-you. . . You wouldn't!" His voice shook. "As if you'd have the heart!"

Jean chuckled mockingly.

Marco's eyes hardened yet still contained that dark look, obviously having pleasure at Eren's fright. "Oh? And you think we've never sold anyone before?" He stood up, stalking over to Eren all the while continuing, "You called me a heartless prick earlier for killing this bird," he threw the bones at Eren's feet. "Yet you have no idea what I am truly capable of." He stopped before the shaking omega, glaring down hard into wide, vibrant green eyes.

Eren panicked.

He took off running, uncaring of the sharp pains in his foot. He had to leave. I don't want to become an alpha's toy! Tears prickled at the corners of his eyes as he ran, the air whipping against him.

But he didn't get far as he was snatched up easily by strong arms. "Stop!" He screamed, snarling and cursing. "Let me go! Let me go right now, you fucking bastards!!"

Jean laughed at Eren's flailing and poor attempts at escape. He grinned, "Whatever happened to the tough omega I saw earlier?" He mocked.

"Fuck. You!" Eren screeched, scratching at the alpha's arms and trying to claw at his face. But he only managed to tire himself out as he was carried away easily.

He was dropped carelessly onto the ground, between the two alpha's who glared down at him. He huffed and gripped his dress which had torn at some point, leaving his long legs bare.

"Well?" Jean set his hands on his hips, grinning. "Should we get going?"

Eren could only squeeze his eyes shut. The truth sinking in like a ton of bricks falling upon him. As he thought. He was no one.

He was nothing but a pawn in his life.
