4 - Rejected Breeder

"If you are pregnant with my child, I will have to reject you," his words pierced my heart, and I almost stumbled in front of him.

"W-why?" my trembling lips responded. "Isn't your goal to have an heir? What's wrong with any Omega carrying your child?"

"Isabelle," I heard his voice sternly correcting my assumption. He didn't like how I spoke to him. "You being pregnant with my child and Estella being pregnant with my child are entirely different. You're just an Omega of unclear origin, while Estella is an Omega from the royal lineage."

"A prospective king like me is unworthy of having a low-class Omega like you." Matthias' final words accompanied his departure, leaving me.

Then, the beautiful Omega with him shoved me so roughly that I almost fell to the ground.

"You better know your place, stupid Omega. Prince Matthias will never deign to be mated with you even until death," the Omega pushed me again intentionally before walking away with Matthias, displaying their intimacy in front of me.

Without being told, I knew about it. Of course, Prince Matthias wouldn't want to marry me, even though inside me lived a baby he desired so much.

"Hey, don't be sad. Even if you didn't manage to get Matthias, you still have four other Alpha princes. You can still become a princess if you marry one of them," Arthur, who was still by my side, tried to console me with his less-than-polite words.

"This is all your fault," I retorted. My love for him disappeared into thin air and turned into hatred. Arthur, who trapped me in this condition.

"Haha. Quite fierce," he laughed at my anger. "Don't forget, tonight you have to come to our chamber. You have to serve one of us as the beginning of your contract. Remember, don't escape, or I can hurt your entire family in the orphanage if you dare to violate this contract."

"What? You can't hurt my family!" I can’t believe what he just said.

But as usual, Arthur just laughed in front of me. "Then do your duty as an Omega our Omega breeder, my Isabelle."

Just like Matthias did, Arthur also left me alone on this roadside. He already knew my weakness, and I had no choice but to follow all his wishes.

Afterward, the servants picked me up and escorted me into the palace. As usual, I was treated like a king's daughter. They cleaned my body with milk and roses, and dressed me in a luxurious royal gown. When the night arrived, they asked me to wait inside the room until the time came.

The door to the room was opened by royal guards, and my stomach instantly felt nauseous. Whether it was due to nervousness or the effects of my pregnancy, I felt extremely unwell tonight.

"Isabelle. Come in," an Alpha's voice called out to me; I guessed it was William.

Hesitant, but I entered the chamber. The room was as usual, large and luxurious, the only difference being that there was only one bed in the middle of the room. Surrounded by the five Alphas who would be my mates.

"M-Matthias?" the name slipped from my lips spontaneously.

I covered my mouth in shock, witnessing the Alpha who rejected me earlier was, in fact, present in this room.

"Why are you here? What about Estella?" I spoke in disbelief.

Matthias, sitting on the edge of the bed, continued to gaze at me. I remembered that face: it was Matthias' expression of anger when he saw Arthur hug me earlier in the day.

'Did he come here out of jealousy because I’m here? Impossible. A prince like Matthias can get a better Omega than me, as many as he wants. Maybe he's here just to play with me.' I discarded the negative thoughts haunting my mind.

"Isabelle Magnolia." William, the first Alpha to call my name, threw a letter toward me very roughly. His body language forced me to read the paper.

When I took it, it turned out to be a contract agreement as a mate that I had to agree to.

"By signing this letter, you officially become our mate partner," Frederick continued. It was the first time the dark-blue-haired Alpha spoke to me. "And until you successfully give birth to heirs for all of us, you are not allowed to leave this palace at all."

"Why do I have to be all five of your mates at once? Shouldn't each of you find your own Omega?" now that I knew Matthias was here, I began to muster the courage to speak before signing this contract.

"From any perspective, this agreement doesn't make sense. I can only get pregnant once at a time. How can I give birth to children for all of you?" I continued.

Then Nathaniel Demetrius, the long-haired Alpha sitting among them, snorted in laughter at my question.

"You just need to spread your legs for us. The rest is our business. The first prince who successfully impregnates you will become the king of Theodosius' kingdom. And the baby born from your womb will be the next king's successor," that was the answer he gave.

Then I fell silent. 'Impossible ... So the decision of who will be the next Alpha king is in my hands? With me pregnant now ... that means Matthias will be the next king.'

Briefly, my eyes glanced at Matthias who still remained silent. He didn't speak, nor did he take his eyes off my body. I felt scared. What if Matthias already knew about my pregnancy?

"Why me? Why did you choose me as your mate?" I asked them. Now, it was William's turn to answer me.

"Arthur said you are the best Omega in this kingdom. And I want to make sure of that. Are you truly a descendant of Omega who can give birth to my child?" William got up from his bed, walking towards me as I could only remain silent.

"W-what will you do? I haven't agreed to your agreement! You're not allowed to touch my body!" I said. But the other two Alphas, Nathaniel and Frederick, also got up and approached me.

"Oh, calm down, Isabella. We won't hurt you. We're just 'checking'. If you're indeed a valuable Omega as Arthur says, we'll give you a lot of wealth and money. Don't worry," Frederick pulled my hand, making me fall into his arms.

Matthias, he still sat silently on the bed. Unlike the other four Alpha princes, he didn't show any interest in approaching me. But I knew his facial expression was far from pleased.

Just like when Arthur hugged me earlier in the day, now Matthias also looked at me with an angry face. I didn't know whether it was because he hated me or because he didn't like other Alphas touching my body before him.

I was so scared. This was the first time I served four Alpha princes at once. Moreover, now I was pregnant now ...

'Matthias ... help me,' I don't know what I'm thinking; my heart screams for help from him, even though I know Matthias will never help me.

"Don't you dare touch her, all of you!"

The touches from the four Alpha princes halted, and I, too, was surprised to hear the loud voice. When I raised my head, I saw Matthias standing near us. His eyebrows furrowed in anger; I had never seen Matthias this furious before.
