Summary: Written for spnkink-meme prompt: Jared's family has never tried to hide that fact that they hate him for being an omega/male omega. They think it makes him weak and his mere existence dishonors their family name. When they discover that the son of the king is looking for a mate and has certain preferences, they jump at the chance to both rid themselves of Jared and increase their already considerable social standing. They believe it's only fair that something good should come from what they see as a blight on their lives. The king agrees and the marriage is arranged.
Reccer's notes: This is a total roll around and enjoy it, unadulterated schmoop-fest. A wonderful, hopeful fairytale romance between poor neglected and ignored omega Jared and prince Jensen with lots of lovely little twists and turns that make you smile. A lovely tender read.
[Short excerpt]Heartbeat slowed, he stepped off the treadmill and found his sister smirking at him from the doorway. Giselle was two years older than Jared, and at twenty she was a junior at a private university one town over. She was a beta, and her plan was to have a career in pediatric medicine, marry a rich alpha, and use a ‘lowly’ omega to bear their children. (“Why would I want to put my body through that? Sure, I want to have kids, but I’m not a slave to my biology like you are, Jared.”)
Jared had been home schooled. When he’d turned fourteen and much to his parent’s horror it had become apparent that he was an omega, they’d pulled him from school. They hadn’t wanted to ‘waste’ their money on a tutor, but his Uncle James had convinced them that Jared would be worth more to them in the long run if he was allowed to complete his education. They’d reluctantly agreed, and though Jared missed his friends terribly, he knew that he was lucky that he’d even been allowed to finish school. He’d broached the subject of college with his father once, but the humiliation brought on by that conversation had been enough to even stop the fantasies he’d harbored about living on his own one day.
“Jared, you’re an omega. I’ve let you have your tutor, but I’m not going to waste any more money on you. You’ll go to the alpha who is the highest bidder when you turn eighteen, and you won’t be our problem anymore.”
Jared tried to ignore Giselle, but she blocked his exit, “Why do you even bother, Jared? It’s not like whatever alpha you wind up with is going to care what you look like. I doubt he’ll even let you out of the bedroom. You’ll just be a wet hole for him, used to pop out babies.”
“Leave me alone,” he muttered, shouldering past her.
“Oh, does our little kitten have claws today?” she said with a mocking laugh that followed him down the hallway.
