Shades of Blue Novel – 00 | Prologue Blue Kent was sitting across from Charlotte Blum, who was the host of the popular talk show, ‘Tea with Charlotte’. ‘Tea with Charlotte’ had high ratings and everyone who was invited to the show was either a top-notch celebrity or a future top-notch celebrity. As for Blue, he was just a writer whose debut book sold over ten million copies across the world. When Blue wrote his debut book, ‘How to be a Perfect Omega’, he didn’t expect it to become so popular.
He had written the book on a whim to let out his frustration with the world. The story told in ‘How to be a Perfect Omega’ was the opposite of its title. The book was about a young boy who manifested as an Omega in a family of Alphas. As opposed to the book title, all the main character did was to frustrate and cause trouble for every other character in the book, giving himself the title of ‘Worst Omega in the World’. He acted unbefitting of his Omega gender. He refused to let the laws of Alphas control his life. The story was beautifully written and raised awareness of the many struggles of an Omega.
Many people viewed ‘How to be a Perfect Omega’ as a literary classic that would be praised for many years to come. Other people viewed the book as nonsensical. Struggles of an Omega? How ridiculous. The only struggle an Omega should be facing was what to do to make their Alpha happy and satisfied. Blue, himself, was an Omega. His lifelong dream was to put every Alpha in their place—which should be beneath an Omega’s feet. “Gosh, I’m so nervous to start this interview,” Charlotte Blum said as she fanned herself with her hand dramatically.
Charlotte was a Beta. So luckily for her, she would not be facing the hostility that Alphas faced when they communicated with Blue. Blue smiled politely and said, “Why should you be nervous? As the interviewee, I should be the one who’s nervous.” At Blue’s words, Charlotte pointed a finger at him and said, “That! That’s exactly why I’m nervous! How could you expect me to be calm when facing such an angel with a charming smile like yours?” At Charlotte’s flirting attempt, the small audience watching the live show clapped and whistled. But Charlotte, herself, wasn’t even trying to hit on Blue.
Her words were sincere. Blue was much too beautiful to be a human being. Regular Omegas were already so beautiful. Blue, who was a Dominant Omega, was just beyond what words could cover. His shoulder-length inky-black hair had a blue-ish color under the bright white lighting of the studio’s stage. And his dark blue eyes happened to appear a bit lighter in color. The shape of his eyes were thin. Just staring at a person could make them think that Blue was flirting with them with his eyes. His nose was straight and pointed; his lips were pink and plump.
Charlotte just wanted to take a picture of Blue and paste the photo as reference to the word, ‘beautiful’, in the dictionary. “I’m flattered.” Blue responded to Charlotte’s words with a modest tone. Charlotte blushed and continued to fan her face as she spoke. “So, I’m sure you’ve gotten this question dozens of times, but I only want to ask it now for formal purposes—what inspired you to write ‘How to be a Perfect Omega’? And also, who is your main character, Milo Mikaelson, modeled after?” Blue inhaled deeply and said, “Well, like I’ve said dozens of times, I wrote ‘How to be a Perfect Omega’ to let out steam.
And Milo is modeled after me. Well, he’s not completely modeled after me, I’m not so unruly—” Both the audience and Charlotte laughed at those words. “—Milo’s character is like an alter ego of mine. Most of the things he did, most of the things he said, I have never said or done them, but I’ve always wished I could.” Everyone went silent after that and listened to Blue’s words intently. “Milo is braver than me. He’s able to tell people off and do exactly what comes to his mind. He’s able to brush off criticism and ignore haters. People might think I’m the same, but I’m actually
