His father, a rather powerful Alpha, married to a beautiful Beta had never expected to get a son who was an omega. Not when his first son, Camden, had presented at an early age as an Alpha. Unlike Isaac who had presented very late, in his upper teen years, as an omega. Something no one had expected. His father had expected him to be a Beta, due to not presenting as a preteen which most Alphas and Omegas did. Some even presented even earlier.
Due to not having presented early, with the combination of his mother dying, and his brother leaving, and basically disappearing did not help him in any way. Because after his brother’s disappearance, and his mother’s death, his father changed. He became more ruthless, and more obsessed with power. It was why he was trying to find someone who would take Isaac, and give him something in return for it. However, due to how shy, and withdrawn he was, no one really wanted him. That was, until his father found the Yukimura’s. And by then Isaac was 20, and considered undesirable. It also didn’t help him that he had scars. Something which wasn’t common, and usually only happened if they came from an alpha, and the one who had had them inflicted upon them believed that they deserved it. It was why Isaac still had his scars, and now so much time had passed that they wouldn’t heal. Not without reopening the scars and make new wounds. Something he had no intention of doing.
He had been sent to the Yukimura’s almost a week ago, and he really didn’t like it. Nor did he trust them yet. He was even scared of his supposed Alpha, Deshi. It was why he kept hiding away from the entire family. Usually in a small space, because it felt safe, even if it was also triggering at the same time for him. Because knowing that no one could see him, it made him more comfortable with his existence. Luckily enough, Kira, the girl close to his own age, supplied him with pillows and blankets. Just leaving them outside of the closet door, even though it was a closet in Deshi’s room. Mainly because he was supposed to be with him.
From the inside of the closet, he’d listen to the household, and what was happening. Something that was most troublesome for the time being, was that he had refused to eat basically for the entire week. The only thing he’d eaten was an apple he’d snatched in the middle of the night when everyone had been asleep. He really feared the Yukimura’s. Something he knew he shouldn’t, but his mind wasn’t the most logical at the moment. And he feared what he shouldn’t fear. It didn’t help that spending so much time hiding in the closet was also triggering memories, memories he had worked on forgetting for a long while.
It was in the middle of the night when he snuck out of the closet again. He usually snuck in the dead of night, when he was certain the others in the house were asleep. He sniffled a little, wiping away tears he hadn’t even realised he had shed. All the while just watching the Alpha, which was supposed to be his, sleep. However, he had felt rejected by him, which was another reason as to why he had been hiding away. However, now, he wanted comfort. The comfort of another person, just being close. And hadn’t heard or seen anything that hinted about abuse. Sure, he’d seen emotions like anger, which had scared him. But now, the alpha looked peaceful.
It was why Isaac inched closer to the bed, carefully climbed onto it, and in under the cover. Gently scooting as close as possible to Deshi, resting his as close to the other’s chest as he dared, lying curled up on his side, like a little ball. And it wasn’t long before he fell asleep, and actually slept peacefully, for the first time in a long while.
