Synopsis
He was born to dominate. She was trained to tame. In a kingdom where Alphas are banished from cities and treated as beasts, he’s the most lethal one ever captured. Savage, uncontrollable, and caged. And enters the Alpha tamer, with a scent that weakens him and a stare that cuts deeper than claws, the omega becomes his tormentor… and his obsession. But when hatred turns to heat, and chains begin to feel like fate, who will break first—the beast or the beauty?

Chapter 1 - THE NEW ALPHA

"The new alpha is a menace," Lily says with big, bright eyes, her lips curling into a shy smile as she runs to me. "His growls were like thunder. So loud that it shook the headquarters." 

A sigh leaves my lips, my gaze falling into the bruises littered on my skin. I'm tired. The last alpha was a nightmare. It took over a month to tame him. A month of blood and bruises and sleepless nights. 

Sometimes this whole thing feels like a mountain on my back, a weight too hard to carry. When they told me that my scent is a magic to spell against the alphas, I was amused and even felt powerful. I am different, an omega with powers, but they treat me like a mere pawn to their games. 

They want me only to tame the alphas, once done, I'm discarded like a torn cloth. 

"I thought they wouldn't be bringing anyone for a while. At least they should give me some time to heal." Irritation fills me up, heating my skin. Do they want to see me dead that much? 

I worked till my bones ached, eyes burned, till I could barely keep myself up. Was that not enough for them?

The last alpha had almost killed me. 

"You should have told them if you wanted some break from this, Zi" Lily's concerned eyes follow me as I get up from the grass bed and brush off my silky gown. 

"Do you think they would listen to me?" I scoff. My little sister is way too naive if she thinks the royal omegas see me as anything more than a tamer. A servant living off their penny. 

Lily's scent sours, the light in her demeanour dimming. I wilts just as she does. "Well, I'm not that tired. Taming alphas had a fun side too." I lie just to make her feel better. 

Lily's eyes lit up again. "This alpha is very handsome. My omega is all smitten, I know yours will be too. Sometimes I feel bad that we don't get to see alphas often. Well, there are quite a lot of tamed alphas here, but they are all mated."she pouts. 

I roll my eyes. She's still too young to see the monster behind an alpha's eyes. In time, she'll learn—beauty is only the mask they wear to hide their darkness. No alpha ever is good. I am taught that at a very young age. That's why our kingdom will not allow any alpha that is not tamed, into our main cities. 

They are a threat to omegas, a danger that should be eradicated. They are feral, more wolf than human. Omegas and betas ruled our kingdom, because an alpha is incapable of it. They might be the most powerful species, but they lack consciousness. 

"If you want an alpha so bad, I will tame one for you in the future to mate." I joke just so I can hear her laugh. 

"You will? I know you will! How lucky am I to be born as the sister of the infamous tamer of our kingdom!" She jumps, pearly giggles erupting from her pink mouth. "Oh, I love you!" 

"Zielle." 

I turn around at the sound of my name, and my gaze falls onto Omega Aerith standing by the threshold of the garden. Her face is scrunched with annoyance, red painted mouth pulled into a scowl. "Didn't you know the new alpha is brought to our taming quarters? What are you doing here? We were looking for you!"

"Did you think about me when you decided to bring a new alpha to the kingdom? Did you ask for my opinion?" I can't help but let my annoyance bleed into my tone. It's not everyday I lash out like this. I barely talk if it is not about anything based on my taming sessions. 

Omega Aerith's eyes grow in size, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. 

"Lily, go back to your friends." I say, giving her lithe shoulder an assuring squeeze when she gives me a look of concern. Once lily is out of sight, I pin Aerith with a hard glare.

"You knew how hard it was for me to tame the last Alpha. How it affected my physical and mental health. Is it a crime if I wanted some time to breathe?"

Aerith clenches her teeth so hard I fear if her jaw might snap in two. Her long, pretty finger comes up to rub at her bottom lip, a habit of hers when she is uneasy. I have known this lady long enough to recognise every minute mannerism of hers. She was once my friend. The one who left me the moment she learned about my difference. She feared I would be cherished more than her. It was her idea to position me as the Tamer of our Kingdom. Only to make me suffer. 

It was easy for her to play with my fate like that because she is the daughter of the High omega. And I was just a low ranked omega with no one but a little sister to take care of. 

"This alphas is very important." Arieth says through her clenched teeth. 

"You said the same about the last one." I roll my eyes, "My question is why did you have to take in this new one so soon? Why the rush?"

"Oh." Arieth lets out a sharp laugh. A humourless one. "So you are questioning us now, huh? Just because you are the infamous tamer now, doesn't mean you can question us! You shut your mouth and obey!" 

I clench my hands so hard because if I don't, I might actually punch her. 

"And for your information" Arieth says, "This Alpha is very important to me. He is to be my mate." She says those last words with a cruel smirk. A very mocking one.

Because she knows I can never mate. A tamer will always stay mateless. A mere servant burdened to give others mates. All the Alphas that were provided as the high omegas mates were tamed by me. Wild Alphas hate city omegas. My scent will help them to get used to us. 

When I was younger, my dream was to be a mate and bear children. But now I know, it will never come true.
