Chapter I

For over twenty years, from the moment he was reborn into his sister's favorite BL, everything went according to a plan. One mistake, one night and the plan was ruined, and the result rested there clear as the printed letters in the blood test result.

"You're pregnant". The doctor said, "One month to be exact".

"Hm", Thierry expressed, a touch of surprise in his tone.

There were moments when he almost forgot what kind of world he was in, but the memory came back like a rocket punch. Why did his sister like those ABO stories so much that she forced them down his throat, so much that his semi-photographic memory recorded every second of those nonsensical stories? And they couldn't just be ABO, they had to be the most toxic revenge plot he could ever imagine.

The original story was a camp of red flags, the male lead the biggest of them all. Devin was a poor omega who did any kind of job, struggling to make ends meet. Working as a waiter at a party, he catches the eye of Cael, a powerful third-generation rich. There is where Thierry comes to service: he bullies the protagonist over a minor problem and makes him trip, scratching his knee and knocking everything down. Thierry's and Cael's parents were talking about getting the two engaged, but Cael comes to the aid of Devin, humiliating Thierry. During the novel, Thierry bullies Devin other times fueled by his jealousy, but always some minor stuff - he is an irrelevant villain. Considering that, his fate is the most tragic. To avenge Devin, Cael drugs Thierry, who goes into estrus, and sends a man forty years older than him to his bedroom, a pervert who was arrested asking for prostitutes and convicted of domestic abuse. The man marks him and Thierry gets pregnant and his family makes him get married to this terrible person and have his kids. The man constantly abuses him and tortures him psychologically and physically. After six years and five miscarriages - all caused by his husband -, Thierry becomes desperate and throws himself from the top of his apartment building, the corpse of his fifth dead kid in his arms.

Cael is a possessive and maniac protagonist, who punishes severely anyone who gets in his way. He is controlling towards the main character and goes from imprisoning him to forcefully marking him, going through drugging, raping, cutting him from family and friends, and so many other toxic things.

And this bastard was the father of present Thierry's baby.

Well, now we require some explanation.

The original Cael and Thierry should only meet in the gala two years from this date, when Cael is 25 and Thierry, 23. However, Thierry changed everything. In his past life he was a financial and computer genius, and entering this new world he concluded that he could do everything as long as he didn't cross the path of the protagonists (or the side-characters or the villains). Well, that's not how the world operates and the flap of the wings of a butterfly can cause a hurricane on the other side of the world, or so goes the saying.

At fourteen, Thierry started an organization for the protection and advancement of the social position of the omega population (OPAS) that was backed by his parents. They had an annual gala that reunited hundreds of participants. Cael attended in the name of the Delaney family, a traditional construction company. During a break, Thierry encountered Cael sitting in the corridor, the smell of pheromones was overwhelming. Thierry could only retain his sanity because of the pills his company was testing. However, many omegas attended the party and they didn't take the same pills as him and some were already showing signs of going into estrus.

"Sir, you shouldn't be here. I think you're going into a rut. Do you have anyone I can call to help you?" Thierry asked.

Let me add here: Thierry, or Aiden, as he was known previously, only knew the novel version of Cael, a few descriptions and many lines about his great physique and sexy body - sorry, but the book he read was a smut one. When he looked at the dark haired guy, sweating like crazy and looking as weak as a lamb, he didn't connect the dots.

Thierry tried to communicate with him many other times, but he would just mumble things incoherently. He looked like a lost puppy, whining for his mom. Whilst he tried to wake him and make him move, some omegas started to approach.

"Shit". He whispered. In a brusque movement, he put Cael on his back.

Thierry was tall, sand-blonde hair and green-grey eyes. He was 1,86 m (6 '1), but Cael was still taller than him and as he moved he felt how heavy he was on his back. In the elevator, he waited for the 12th floor and went to room 1217. He always got tired during these galas, and needed a time to cool down and recharge his social battery. The intention was to just leave Cael on the bed and leave, but as he was about to open the door a strong hand closed it.

"Omega", the man said.

"Fuck". He said, pushing him back. "Now you wake up".

"Omega", he repeated in a daze.

Thierry felt the pheromones intensify. Were the pills losing its effect or were they not enough against the pheromones of a close alpha in rut? They will need to do more tests later.

"I'll find an inhibitor for you, just go back to bed". His head was getting numb, and he tried his best to stay rational. But his efforts were proving more futile by the second.

"Omega", Cael said, getting close and embracing Thierry 's waist. "Omega". Cael said kissing Thierry, who reciprocated the kiss. Then pushed him away.

"Go back to bed, please. I'll get an inhibitor..." He stopped, as his breathing became heavier and he realized he was sweating like a teapot. He was in estrus. "I think I'll need two inhibitors".

"My omega", Cael hugged his waist again, playing with his slim body and tracing his curves with his hand. "My omega". He kissed him again. And again Thierry kissed him back. This time he didn't push him away. In the middle of the kiss, he decided to give in to temptation, to give in to his estrus and to give in to this strange and scorching man.

The morning after, before the man awakened, he asked for two inhibitors. The pills protected him from losing all his sanity, but the man was in total daze. He still reeked of pheromones. His secretary brought the inhibitor and he applied it on the man's arm. He took a shower and left a note saying.

Don't worry about last night. You probably won't remember it even. It's not your fault. Your rut was intense, but we both wanted it. Don't blame yourself. You didn't mark me. We'll both pick our responsibilities and leave that night in the past.

A

For some reason, the face of a lost puppy that convinced him to take him to the hotel room, made him leave such a note.

Only a few days later, when he saw the photos of the night with the respective names, he realized what he had done. When he found out he just said:

"Hm".

But, until the doctor uttered those three words, he was counting that Cael wouldn't remember him and the story would just continue without him. But now more things should change.

***

When Amélie, Aiden's sister, introduced the novel to him she said: it's an old one, but it's really cool. The story was from 2011, but the technology was even older. But Aiden, a computer genius from 2024, went back to twenty-four years before that, in 1987. As a baby, he had the brain power of an adult and the knowledge of a genius. And he had a semi-photographic memory that knew all the facts of the story, including which companies would be the most important.

From a young age he realized that he needed two things: to stay away from the characters and to have as much power as possible. The original Thierry had a bad relationship with his family who saw him as an item to sell in an arranged marriage; but he also depended on them because he had nothing of his own. So, at the age of five he was already investing in multiple companies and developed his own search engine. At six he started an online commerce page that revolutionized the tech-primitive world. At eight he started to code games and created his own video-game console. At nine he built his own portable computer. At ten he created his own cell phone. At eleven he was classified as an omega, for his parents dismain. He only answered:

"I might be an omega, but that doesn't make me less capable than any of my pairs. And them being alphas doesn't make them capable of doing even a third of what I can do. I don't know why anyone should be unhappy about being an omega. If the estrus is the problem, why don't they say the same thing about the rut? Even so, I can pay the best doctors to develop the best drugs. So where is the problem?"

As he said, he used the money that he accumulated to hire the best doctors and pharmacists and fund his own pharmaceutical company, with the investment of his father's company.

By 2008, when our story started, Thierry had accumulated wealth enough to be a recognized powerhouse in the business world, although he kept his face always hidden behind the name Antoine Rayne. However, to distantiate himself from everything involving the toxic and cruel story, he decided to move his company headquarters to another country. But now the moving was in the initial phase, and there was much to progress before he could move.

"Aff", he sighed remembering all the things he had to do before moving and thinking about how much he now needed to get away from the main characters, especially Cael. "A man like him would never be a good father. I can only imagine what he would do if he found out".

He thought, remembering the original story. Three-fourths into the story, Devin gets pregnant and tries to hide it from Cael at all costs. Cael always said that he wanted to love him and him only, and he didn't want anyone to come between them, that includes a child. So when Cael finds out that Devin is pregnant, he abuses him in all forms, constantly raping him. When the child is born, Cael abandons him and tells Devin that the child is dead. He goes on to convince Devin to have a hysterectomy, so that he would never have to go through the pain of losing another child. Overcome with sorrow, Devin agrees.

"Yeah... This child would do better staying as far away from him as possible". He put his hand on his belly. "Right? It will be me and you against the world".

He got his cellphone, the smartphone developed by his company, and clicked on his secretary number.

"Nat?"

Hello sir.

"Search for offices to rent in Bgork".

I thought you were going to wait for the building to be finished.

"I decided to supervise the transition myself. Schedule a flight for next week. I'll just finish some urgent business and I'll be ready to depart".

Yes sir.

"One more thing. Search for some obgyn recommendations in Bgork".

I will email them as soon as possible.

Nat was a loyal employee and rarely asked questions. It was a good quality for a secretary.

Arriving home, he called his parents and older brother. To say they didn't receive the news well was an euphemism. Not only was their son leaving for another country, but he was pregnant and had no support from the other parent. It was a long night talking and convincing them that everything will be okay. The original's relation with his family was poor, to say the least, but this family went through a lot of therapy to get to the moment they were now. In the end, they were not happy with the situation, but they accepted it.

In a week's time, Thierry flew to Bgork. He left the scenery of the story, all its characters and all its problems behind. They started in a small rented office. Everyday Thierry left to inspect the construction site, but it was taking longer than they initially imagined. Many obstacles surfaced in the way. Soon, they were renting another office. Then the floor. Next, it was the whole building.

While time passed, Thierry's pregnancy started to show. It was even more obvious since they were twins. And he never tried to hide, but some directors and other officers protested him leading in this situation. They soon were out of their jobs. And he created a new program toward pregnancy and child rearing among the employees.

They moved to the official building three days before the twins were born.

Collin and Killian. Since they were newborns some things were apparent: Collin was Thierry's carbon copy. The same sand-blonde hair and ocean-green eyes. But Killian... Killian looked exactly like Cael. As they grew, Thierry noticed that although Killian looked more like his other father, his temper and personality was his. While Collin was extroverted and had an easy time communicating and making friends, favoring outside activities and loved to play; Killian was introverted, didn't like interacting and preferred staying at home, figure books and watching cartoons. He was really smart and quick to understand even the hardest things. Collin just didn't have the patience and would rather learn physical stuff, like games and sports. As they grew their personalities were even more apparent.
