Episode 5

"And who are you to tell me what to do? A king?" Castiel hit the bull's eye, but Raihn wouldn't just reveal himself like this, right?

"And what if I was one?" Raihn asked mockingly.

"Hmm, then I'd probably run and never see you again." Castiel said proudly.

"Really? Are you good at running?" Raihn made a step closer, Castiel sensed a dangerous aura from him, he stepped back.

"For someone, who speaks so highly, you don't seem to be that brave." Raihn chuckled.

"I'm not scared of you, just cautious." Castiel tried to take the route beside the table, but Raihn cut his way off.

"Don't try to run, it won't do you any good."

"I want to go to my room, so let me go." Castiel urged Raihn.

"Why should I? You just insulted me."

"I didn't! I never said anything insulting." Castiel defended himself.

"Well, you mocked me, royalty." Raihn added seriously.

Castiel froze in his place, his hands hanging from his body, he was feeling unwell this morning, but now, he wanted to run and then throw up all the food he just ate.

Royalty, he insulted someone of high status, a king, probably.

He looked down at the floor and bit his lower lip.

"By the way, are you an omega?" Raihn asked as he stepped closer again.

Castiel was frozen in his place and couldn't move, how did this man know he was an omega?

"I can smell your pheromones, a pleasant coffee vanilla scent."

Raihn closed the distance and put his hand on Castiel's neck.

"Do you know, that omegas are very sought after?"

Castiel could feel his breath on his neck, he shivered.

"They are very much needed, no matter the gender." Raihn pushed Castiel back, his back hit the counter.

"And by what I can smell, you're not an ordinary omega."

Castiel's heart dropped to the floor. His eyes twitched and his head snapped up.

Raihn smiled as he seemed to hit the nail.

"Maybe a dominant one?" Raihn seemed to ask himself.

"By your face, not." he properly examined Castiel's face, it was like an open book.

"Then what about a hyper-dominant omega?" Raihn brushed his nose against Castiel's nape.

"Smells good." he breathed the smell of a hyper-dominant omega in.

Looking at Castiel's reaction, he was right.

"It seems I forgot to introduce myself, I am Raihn Silas Caelestis, the king of Caelestis."

Raihn introduced himself and stepped back a little.

"Who are you, little food thief and omega in hiding?"

Castiel saw no way out, the only thing he could do was to lie, but that might cost him something.

So he spoke the truth.

"Castiel Glacie..." he said softly and quietly.

Raihn seemed surprised to hear that name here.

"You're a Glacie? Then why aren't you with your family?"

"I told you I'm here forcefully! I'm just an illegitimate!" Castiel yelled out.

Raihn looked him in the eye, then understood.

"So no one would question if I took you away from here right this moment, right?"

Castiel didn't say anything, he just looked at the strange man in a noble's clothing.
