Summary: Nine years ago, Kise would have preferred to die along with his family, but what if he finally finds the reason for him to continue on living?
Chapter 1: Memories
“Ryouta, do not look back!”
The urgency in his mother’s voice had brought out a stinging sensation in his eyes, and that was when he realized tears had started to stream down his face. What he was experiencing right this moment was not what he thought would have happened when his day started, which also happened to be the last day where he saw his mother, father, and sisters. Alive.
“Kaa-san…” his voice barely a whisper and throat raspy. He looked up at the wall clock that had been illuminated by the barely there moonlight coming from the small gap between his blinds.
2:45 AM.
Who even wakes up at this ungodly hours?
You do. A voice at the back of his head said, which he didn’t bother to rebuke, because one; that voice was right, and two, he was a model. Models work at the unhealthiest times of the day and all he could do was sigh as he thought about it.
His thoughts were interrupted when the small device on his night stand started blinking in the dark. Knowing full well who it was, he didn’t bother looking at the screen and simply pressed the phone against his ear. “Good morning, Kurokocchi.”
"Good morning Kise-kun.” The person on the other line said.
“So…” Kise thought for a bit, rubbing the sleepiness away from his face. “What time is it today?”
A light chuckle from the receiver. “5 o’clock. But they need you there by 4 because since it’s a new line of clothes they wanted to test all the new clothes before you do the photo shoot.”
All of them? “And how many would that be?”
There was a slight pause as Kise heard shuffling paper from the background. “Around thirteen sets.”
Kise gaped and stared at the darkness in his room. Thirteen? What? “I know it’s a lot even for you,” Kuroko had answered, as if reading his mind. “but they really wanted you to model all their clothes. I’m actually here at the studio now and in my opinion, I’d want to see you in all of them Kise-kun.”
“What, you’re already there?!” the blonde couldn’t help but exclaim. “Holy, Kurokocchi, it’s fucking 2:45 in the fucking morning. Why on earth are you already there? Who on earth is even there? Doesn’t the preparation start at 4?”
Kise could’ve sworn he knew that the other man shrugged. “Well, the director of the company, the photographer and the designer of the new line wanted to discuss some of what we’re doing today.”
“Oh my gosh Kurokocchi, I love you and I really appreciate all that you’ve been doing for me, but you should take care of yourself sometimes too.”
A snort. “Tell that to me when you do the same, yeah?”
This time, Kise couldn’t help but laugh. He really did love his manager. Not in a romantic sense, of course. In fact, if they indeed did have a relationship, it would be the kind that would definitely fail with 120%. The first reason was, they were both omegas. They belonged to the class of the chain that was mated with, not mated by. Their omegas would not allow themselves to mate with other omegas, they want either an Alpha or a Beta, who would be the only people that would ease their need during their heat. Though Kise didn’t really like thinking about the very reason he lost his family, the thought ran by with a grim feeling.
Kise was what one would call a “Special” omega. He wasn’t sure about a class the same as his among the Alphas or the Betas, but Kise is classified as a “Fallen” omega. Fallen omegas are those few omegas that have the appearance of an Alpha, but have omega traits. Kise’s mother, Kise Setsuna, was the reason why he’s considered a Fallen, but the thing was, though being a Fallen was special in itself, his mother was even more special. Not only was she considered the strongest among all the Fallen, she was an Alpha Fallen. So basically, she’s a fallen, an omega with the physical look of an Alpha, but then she so happened to have alpha traits as well.
To summarize the whole explanation, Kise Ryouta is part of the Fallen Royalty, and happens to be its only prince. Him being a fallen was the reason why he lost his family. Kise grimly remembered that fateful day nine years ago, the day his kind were hunted.
The urgency in his mother’s voice had brought out a stinging sensation in his eyes, and that was when he realized tears had started to stream down his face. What he was experiencing right this moment was not what he thought would have happened when his day started, which also happened to be the last day where he saw his mother, father, and sisters.

His golden eyes opened in urgency as he rose from his sleeping position. His back popping on the wrong places that he had to rub some spots in order to ease the soreness. This was the eleventh day he’s had that dream. Wait, scratch that. This was the eleventh day he’s had that nightmare. The same nightmare that has continued to haunt him for almost nine years now. “Kaa-san…” his voice barely a whisper and throat raspy. He looked up at the wall clock that had been illuminated by the barely there moonlight coming from the small gap between his blinds.
2:45 AM.
