Dear Mother and Father,

by the time you read this letter I will be on my way from Carthe with an Omega of definite interest. I have decided to bring home only one, but don't find me crazy until you meet this boy. His name is Louis and he is my mate; I have never been so sure of anything before in my life. I will tell you both more about it once I arrive.

xx, Edward.

Edward sealed off the letter before looking up at the sound of a crash.

"Little Omega, what have you done now?" Edward asked, rising from his desk and making his way to the bathroom, knocking on the door. "Have I made a mistake allowing you to bathe yourself?"

"I-It's fine! Just don't open the door I'm naked!" Louis was trying to discard the small pieces of glass as quickly as he could. He didn't mean to drop the vial of perfume, but his hands were still slippery from the cocoa lotion, and that resulted in the mess that he was attempting to clean up.

Edward rolled his eyes from the other side of the door. "Don't try to clean anything, that sounded like glass, you could cut yourself."

"I'm fine, Edward. I just-" Louis stopped his sentence to hiss in pain.

"Omega! I told you not to touch anything, put on some clothes right now, I'm opening the door."

Louis looked around the bathroom quickly before running into the linen closet at the sound of Edward opening the door.

"Omega come out of there," Edward sighed, looking at the particles of broken glass on the floor and shaking his head.

"I-I can't."

"Now why can't you come out, Little One?" Edward brushed his fingers through his hair, trying his best to be patient.

"Because I don't have any clothes on! Just get out. I-I can fix this by myself," Louis said, cradling his hand and hoping that the man wouldn't open the door.

Edward groaned and made his way over to the closet, assessing his options. "Stick out your hand, Omega."

"Please don't make me come out, Edward," Louis begged, tears rimming his eyes at the thought.

The alpha huffed at the assumption. "Louis, I'm just going to take the glass out. You can stay in the closet if you wish, your nudity wouldn't faze me either way, I can control myself. Just let me see your hand, Omega."

Louis wiped his eyes with his hand that wasn't damaged, and nodded at the alpha's words, forgetting that he couldn't be seen. "Okay." Louis hesitantly stuck his hand out of the closet, guarding his naked body with the door.

The Prince held the back of Louis' hand, being as gentle as he could. Louis watched from the small crack of the door as Edward carefully plucked out the single piece of glass delicately.

"Don't move."

Louis kept his hand held out as the Alpha released his careful grasp to get a first aid kit from under the sink. After disinfecting it with hydrogen peroxide, and putting a bandaid on the harmless cut, Edward put everything away and handed Louis the pajamas that the boy had on the counter.

Edward cleared his throat and glanced at the door of the linen closet. "I'll send a maid to clean the mess. Put on your clothing so I can carry you over the glass."

"I-It's okay. I'll just walk around it."

"Do you have shoes on?"

"Well no."

"Then I don't understand why you're assuming that I'll let you walk."

"Edward, it's really not-"

"Put on your clothes, Omega, and quit being stubborn.

Louis sighed and slid on the pajamas provided for him, stopping when he came across the underwear. It wasn't uncommon for omegas to wear panties, but Edward just assuming that he would, made Louis scoff. "Do you have any other type of... under... garments?" Louis asked, trying not to make the situation comical for the Prince.

"Is there something you find wrong with the ones you have?" Edward leaned against the counter, amusement twisting his lips into a smirk.

"Yes," Louis snapped. He could hear the Prince's smirk in his voice and he didn't like that at all.

"What would you prefer to wear then, Omega? Briefs?"

"Well yes," Louis lied, "that's what I normally wear."

"I'm afraid I don't own any in your size, Little One. Wear your panties for the mean while."

Louis rolled his eyes, even if he didn't want briefs, he was annoyed that Edward didn't even check. What if he actually did want briefs? Then Edward would've been discriminating against him. But Louis knew the Prince wasn't going to budge, so instead of speaking his mind, Louis slid on the soft panties and continued to dress himself.

"It appears you don't own anything in my size at all," Louis mumbled, opening the closet door and rolling up the sleeves of the pajamas. He was wearing a pin stripe pajama set that was three sizes too big on him.

"I apologize, I only own clothing that fits me," Edward chuckled. He would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy the situation.

"Then why aren't you wearing clothes?" Louis challenged, crossing his arms and looking the Prince up and down. Edward was wearing gray sweatpants -only gray sweatpants-.

"Because you're wearing my pajamas," Edward lied, picking Louis up bridal style and walking over the glass in his converse, "so unless you prefer sleeping naked, I am going to have to stay like this for the time being."

At such a close proximity, Louis couldn't help but relax at the scent of the alpha. Louis knew that omegas could be put to sleep from complete relaxation just by smelling an alpha, but he never experienced it before then. All Louis could do was mumble, "fine."

Louis didn't notice when Edward left the bathroom and called a maid over to clean it, he was too focused on finding the right word for what the Prince smelled like. It was when the man set him down on the bed that Louis was finally able to shake himself out of the trance that Edward's scent provided.

"Wait, I don't want to sleep here." Louis sat up quickly in the bed, rolling his eyes when Edward ignored him and continued to lay on the bed. "Can I go to a guest room?"

Edward looked over at Louis with an emotionless face. "No."

"Well why not?"

"Because I want to sleep with my mate," Edward replied, resting his head back on a pillow and shutting his eyes.

"I'm not your mate, Edward." Louis tensed when Edward growled.

"Do not lie to me, Omega. It is a disrespect that I do not take lightly," Edward seethed, opening his eyes to glare over at Louis.

Louis chose not to reply and instead huff at the alpha calling him omega again.

Wait.

Louis gasped and asked quickly, "Where are my bags?"

"If you are attempting to leave my bed, I would highly advise that you didn't," the Prince warned, watching the boy carefully.

"Just tell me where my bags are, please," Louis begged, hoping the alpha would give in.

"Will you leave me tonight?"

"No! Edward, I promise I won't leave. Just tell me where you put my bags."

Edward pointed into his closet, watching when Louis ran off to look through his things.

Louis sighed in relief when he found his pill bottle of suppressants, quickly taking one before shoving it back into his bag.

"Come back to me, Omega."

"My name is Louis."

"You're getting etiquette classes as soon as we get to Velora."

"Can't wait." Louis turned the lights off and laid back in bed, shutting his eyes.

After a couple seconds of silence Edward moved closer to wrap an arm around Louis' waist.

"Good night, Omega."

"My name-" Louis moved away from the Prince and put a pillow between them "-is Louis."

Edward threw the pillow across the room and grabbed Louis' hip, dragging the boy closer to him. "Good night, Louis."
