Chapter Text
This had to be the 9th meeting with an “Appropriate” omega that his father set up. Louis wanted an omega, but he didn’t want a stuck up spoiled one. But he knew exactly where he could find one that wasn’t. He saw advertisements online all the time for the local omega shelter. It was a place for omegas to go if their families couldn’t afford proper omega care. People didn’t like to talk about it but unwanted omegas were sent there also. Some thought that omega's were less than the other genders or if their alpha died or just didn't want them any more. He couldn't understand just dropping off your omega like that.
His family made yearly donations to make sure the facility could run. He called and made an appointment, first thing on Monday he would be given a tour and introduced to available omega’s. He went to an omega store and bought some stuff, blankets, pillows, a stuffed animal he thought kinda looked like him. He was excited thinking about his new omega. They would be so cute holding it. He could imagine it now, him coming home late, his omega clutching it, but as soon as they see him they throw it down and run to him. He was laughing to himself. An old lady looked at him sideways and walked the other way.
When he got home he set up all the things he bought. He put a few things on the bed and a few in the omega nest room that was attached to his bedroom. He placed the stuffed deer on the chair in his room for now. He felt kinda silly with how giddy he felt but he couldn’t wait for a cute omega to cuddle and spoil.
This was not what he was expecting. He was at the shelter and being shown around, The facility was maintained and spacious, but it wasn’t filled with happy omega’s fawning over him. While most didn’t look miserable they also didn’t seem to be happy to be here. There was a commons room that some sat in. They could go to their room or walk in the garden.
“So how does this work?” The attendant smiled at him.
“We show you a list of profiles, we can recommend certain omegas or you chose you who think you will be best matched with. And then we ask them if they wish to speak to you.” She handed him a tablet and he scrolled through the photos. He sat at a table looking through all the profiles.There was quite a selection, all types of animals, carnivores and herbivores. Females and males, large and small. He wasn't particularly picky. He swiped to the next photo, a gray wolf, a large one at that. One previous alpha, one family member. He looked so demure in the photo. Big pretty eyes. His alpha swooned and wanted to lick his sent gland. Wanted to prove he is a good alpha and can provide. He wondered about his previous alpha, but it didn't matter he would be his omega now. He signaled to the woman helping him.
“Him, I want him”
“Ah Legoshi. He’s in his room I think. I’ll let him know you wish to speak to him.”
“No, I’ll just take him”
“I’m sorry sir that’s not how it works. He has to agree to go with you” Louis paused.
“Fine” The woman left. It only took about 5 minutes for the two to meet him.
Louis smiled “Hello, my name is Louis and I wish to be your alpha”
“Sure, I guess” The wolf wasn’t standing straight and didn’t meet Louis eyes.
“Wonderful” He must be nervous, once we leave he will probably relax. Obviously he could tell he would be a good alpha though since he agreed to come home with him.
Louis signed the paperwork and paid. Legoshi had returned to his room to pack. He came back holding a bag.
“Is that all you have”? Louis asked.
“Ya”
Louis led the wolf to his car. Poor thing must be nervous he thought. Legoshi didn’t say anything all the way home. When he saw Louis house he finally spoke.
“You live here?”
“Yes”
“By yourself?”
“I have staff, but know that you will be living here, I want you to take the liberty to make it feel like a home for yourself”. Legoshi didn’t say anything else, just looked at the surroundings. When they went in Louis gave him a tour. He was hurrying so he could show him the bedroom. They entered and Legoshi seemed to freeze. What was that reaction, more nerves, excitement.
“I added blankets and pillows that you can arrange how you wish. And over here is a nest. Oh!” Louis ran over to the chair and grabbed the stuffed deer. “Here this is for you” Legoshi took it gingerly.
“Oh, thanks” legoshi took his bag and placed it over by the nest.
“You must be hungry. Diner should be ready” Noe louis was nervous, this was not how he thought this would go.
