The next day
They had breakfast together as usual, it rained every morning, but it wasn't as heavy as yesterday. The way she eats her food, her mother makes soup and it refreshes her throat very much, her body feels warm and she feels better. Her mother is really good at cooking. All the dishes she makes are delicious."Cara, you have to remember, your heat cycle is coming in 6 days, have you asked your boss for permission to take the day off?" her mother said."Yes, I have asked my boss for permission, I have to go before it's too late" Cara said."Don't forget to take the blocker your father gave you" her mother said."Yes mom, bye i love you" Cara got up from her chair and approached her mother and kissed her, she also hugged her sister before leaving.That morning the streets were very busy, maybe because it wasn't raining as hard as yesterday, that's why many of them wanted to walk. As she was walking, she suddenly saw a man, a man she seemed to have met before, but she forgot where she saw the man.The man walked towards her, she could see his face clearly, but when he passed by Cara, Cara's eyes widened, her whole life, as long as she inhaled various kinds of scent, only this time, she really liked that scent. It smells like wood and musk in one. A fragrance that can calm her mind. She turned her head to look at the man.But it didn't take long for the scene to last, Cara regained consciousness from her reverie and continued on her way to the coffee shop. But when she got there, she just focused on her work and forgot about the man's face, the scent also slowly disappeared from her nose."Hey what's wrong with you? You look like you're daydreaming" Gemma said."Gemma, I met an Alpha before coming here, she passed by me, I seem to have seen him before, but I forgot where I met him, I'm sure he's never been here, I must have met him somewhere else--""So what do you want to convey?" Gemma said."For the first time, I feel calm when I smell someone's scent, it smells like wood and musk in one""Wait, wood and musk in one? Are you seriously smelling that scent?" Gemma said and Cara just nodded."Eric once told me that an Alpha's scent is different, just like an Omega's, but the Alpha's scent is more of a natural scent. Many have a seawater scent or a scent like the smell of rain hitting the ground, that's weird, but that's what Eric say""Did he say anything else? I mean, what's the difference from them?""He just said that not all Alpha and Omega meet because they smell each other's scent, even though that can indeed make them crazy and addicted, but if you want to know whether he is your mate or not, just look into his eyes, if he is crazy about your scent and his eyes turn red, that means he's your mate""His eyes turned red?""Yeah, I've never seen Eric like that because I don't have a scent, he can't be crazy about my scent even though he's already crazy about my body""Gemma, are you crazy? What do you mean?""Come on Cara, that's something everyone would do in life including you""I don't understand" Cara said."Cara, are you serious? Sex? Do you know about sex? Maybe Alpha and Omega only do mating when he marks you, but it's the same as sex, only if your Alpha has marked you, be prepared, he will do knotting and you will get pregnant soon ""What? No, I won't let that happen"."You idiot! Of course you have to do it, that's life, there's a customer, serve him, I'll clear the table first" Gemma left Cara stupidly.•••During lunch time, their coffee place is packed with so many people, they do get a little hard at certain hours. It makes them work harder so as not to keep customers waiting long for their orders.Then the sound of the door rang again, indicating a new customer had entered and Cara immediately turned towards the door to welcome the customer, but her eyes widened. She was the man she had just told Gemma that morning.He stood in front of Cara who was at the cashier replacing Gemma at that time."What coffee recommendations at this place?" The man said, his voice cold. He didn't even look at Cara when he spoke, he just focused on the menu in front of him."Isn't there a recommended menu in this place?" The man spoke again but this time he turned to Cara."Ah i'm sorry, of course we have coffee recommendations, do you like machiato?" cara said."Give me anything" The man said, they were very close, she really liked the man's scent. It made her heart flutter.After that, Cara approached Gemma to ask her to make the man's order."What's wrong with you? Is he very handsome? You keep daydreaming looking at his face" Gemma said."Gemma, he is the man I told you this morning, his scent really comforts me. Give me your hand" Cara pulled Gemma's hand and brought it to her chest."Do you feel it? My heart flutters when I smell the scent, is this a good thing? Or is it the other way around?""Have you put on your blocker yet?" Gemma said then gave the man's order to Cara."Yes of course, why?""We don't know the answer if he can't smell your scent, but now deliver this order to him, don't make him wait" Gemma said.Cara also doesn't know why she feels like that, all her life she has just felt her heart like that, like she's running a marathon.She took his coffee order and brought it to his table, she placed the coffee on the table and smiled at him before leaving, the man looked very cold, he also looked very quiet, he was only busy with his phone when Cara came to give his coffee.•••It didn't take long for the man to finish his coffee order, he immediately left after finishing it. Cara didn't have time to watch the man leave because she had several customers to serve.Many Alphas came as customers, but no one made Cara like that, their scent wasn't as good as that guy's. Cara doesn't know what happened to her nose.It was 5 pm, time for Cara and Gemma to close their coffee shop, yes their coffee shop doesn't open late, the reason is simple because the night is a dangerous condition and the owner doesn't want to be responsible to the waiterss if something bad happens to them.After closing the coffee shop they parted ways, Gemma went to the nearest bus stop and Cara walked back to her house. In fact, this activity make Cara bored, because that was all she did every day. She never goes anywhere other than her house and coffee shop."I'm home" Cara said, she entered her house, but didn't see her mother and sister. She went to her mother's room and knocked on the door, but there was no answer from inside. Cara decided to open her mother's door and saw her mother answering the phone, turning her back on her. She decide to closed the door back to his mother's room and went up to the room.She walked into her room and plopped down on the bed closing her eyes. She was tired because that day a lot of customers came to her coffee place. She also thought about the man she met this morning. The man was indeed handsome, even very handsome for Cara."Cara, are you in there?" Rosie said from outside the room."Yes, come in" Cara said and Rosie entered the room, approached Cara on her bed."What's wrong with you?" Cara said."Nothing, I'm just bored. How was today?" Rosie said."Rosie..""Hmm""You can keep a secret right?" Cara said."Why? Did you do something?" Rosie said she lay down beside Cara."No, I didn't do anything, I just met someone""Someone? Who? A man?""Yeah, I met him this morning on the way to the coffee place. Strangely, when he passed beside me, his scent put me at ease. I can't describe how I felt at that moment but my heart was beating fast. my workplace, he stood over me to order coffee. His scent made me freeze, I just stared at his face, he's so handsome, but it's his scent that distracts me the most""What do you mean he's your mate?" Rosie said."I don't know, I told Gemma but since I was wearing my blocker at the time, I can't figure out the answer""If he really is your mate, that means you guys are missing each other" Rosie said and Cara was silent.The statement was true, if they were indeed a pair, the universe should have brought them together that day. But they instead missed each other. Although fate will bring them together again at another time and that's for sure. But hopefully when that time comes, Cara will still be in this world.Dinner was ready, her mother called her two daughters for dinner. Cara and Rosie went downstairs together to meet their mother at the dinner table. They sat next to each other, facing their mother. Cara and Rosie saw clearly her mother's expression at that time, her face looked sad, unlike usual."Mom, what happened to you?" Cara said and her mother stared at Cara and Rosie before her."Nothing, I was just thinking of something" her mother said."About what?""Cara, it's a matter of parents, you and Rosie just focus on your life" her mother said."Parents' problems? But we are a family, shouldn't any problems be shared together?" Cara said."Cara, you won't understand, it's too complicated if I have to explain it to you two" her mother said.Cara was silent, and so was Rosie. They returned to eating their dinner in silence. There were no more conversations after that between them. Cara occasionally saw her mother's face, she knew her mother was feeling sad. But it's impossible if it's
The first day of Cara's heat cycleOnly screams could be heard from inside Cara's room, she locked the door from the inside so no one would come in. She just curled up in her bed, enduring the excruciating pain in her body, she felt like her bones were crushing, her back felt very hot and her hips ached.There was nothing her mother and Rosie could do but hope Cara would be strong through it all, for a week she had to feel the pain. So far she's gotten through it, at night she'll take suppressants to ease the pain so she can sleep. Although that doesn't change anything.Cara just cried in the middle of the pain, she thought about what Gemma said, is it true that if she met her mate, she wouldn't feel pain like this again?•••That morning Noah came to the coffee place, he was expecting to meet Cara at that time but he only saw one waitress there and that was not the person he was looking for. Noah approached Gemma who was in front of the cashier."Morning, what would you like to order
One week laterCara woke up from her sleep, her body ached, her whole room a mess. For a week Cara never slept well, she always woke up in the middle of her sleep because she felt pain all over her body. But that morning it all started to settle down, she got out of bed and looked at herself in the mirror. She looks messy.Not long after, the sound of knocking on the door was heard, and the voice of her mother calling was heard too."Cara, are you awake? Breakfast is ready" her mother said."Yes, I'm coming" Cara said.She decided to take a shower and tidy up her room before leaving and approaching her mother and sister at the dining table. Rosie immediately hugged her tightly when Cara got close to her."You're great Cara" Rosie said."Thank you Rosie" Cara sat at the dining table and her mother handed her a plate with side dishes."You have to eat a lot to fill your strength" her mother said."Mom" Cara said."Hmm""How did you endure the pain during the heat cycle?""It hurts as mu
It was not a normal day, there were lots of male customers who seemed to be trying to seduce Cara, she had tried to hold back, to be honest she was annoyed at that time, but she had to finish her job. Gemma, who saw the look on Cara's face, approached her and elbowed her."Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are so many customers asking your name? What happened?" Gemma said."Actually, I wasn't wearing my blocker today." Cara said."What? Are you crazy? Cara, this is dangerous for you, you will go home alone, through the streets full of Alpha out there" Gemma said."I know, I know I'm crazy, but Gemma, I can't hide behind that blocker all the time, I have another life, I have to find my mate, my heat cycle is so painful every month, I can't hold it alone, after all I only have 7 years to survive""But you should have told me earlier, I could take better care of you. Do your parents know about this?" Gemma said."My mother and sister know, but not my father, he will definitely be angry whe
After explaining many things to her father, her father finally agreed, he would give Cara his full trust to live her own life. But with one condition, she must always tell her father or mother, who will be close to her, friends or boyfriend. Cara had to tell her parents everything and Cara agreed, it was easy for her.When Cara returned to her room, she plopped down on the bed, she smiled seeing Sean's jacket close to her. Sean's jacket distracted her, she took the jacket and brought it down with her. She sniffed the scent on the jacket. Oddly enough, the scent was really driving her crazy.She imagined Sean's face before her, when he saved Cara from that lewd Alpha. He looks cool, standing in front of Cara, calling her his mate. The interested way he called himself and Cara were different. She got up from her bed and opened her laptop.How to find out in more detail what Hyper is, what makes him different, even though her mother has explained it to her, she has to know more about it,
The next dayNoah was already waiting in front of the coffee shop, he was waiting for Cara to come at the same time as before, it seemed he really fell in love with Cara. A smile even appeared on his face even though he had not met Cara. He entered with his head down at that time, but he already smelled his favorite scent getting closer and when he raised his head, he saw Cara walking towards him."You again, why do you always come here? Can't you make coffee at your house? It's still too early, I don't think your house is near here either" Cara said and passed him, she walked into the coffee shop, greeted Gemma before going into the crew room to change her uniform.Gemma approached her in the crew room, she was wondering what happened to Cara last night, did she come home without problems, or did something happen to her."Are you all right?" Gemma said."Yes, why?""Thank goodness I thought something bad happened to you, I wanted to call you last night but I was so tired and fell asl
Actually Cara was interested in Noah's offer, as long as she was alive, Cara really only had her family, she never even went out with Gemma. Weekends are indeed the time when the family gets together and spends time together. But in this new life, Cara wants to do something different, she intends to tell her parents first and contact Noah for answers.It was a very cold afternoon. How to walk on a street that wasn't as crowded as usual. She listens to music with her earbuds. While humming she passed the same road every day. Then her eyes fixed on someone in front of her. She was sure it was someone she knew, the closer she got to the man, the more scent she smelled and she knew who the man was."Sean" Cara said."Oh hi" Sean said."What are you doing here?""I'm waiting for someone" Sean said."Ah well then, I'll go first" Cara said."Wait.." Sean held Cara's hand, but he immediately removed his hand from Cara's hand before Cara cursed at him like what Cara did to Noah."What?" Cara s
SaturdayThat morning, Cara was still having breakfast with her family, she had not said anything to her father and mother about her plans. But she had to say it, she didn't know what they would answer after hearing Cara's request but she had already said she would go with Noah and Sean."Mom, dad.." Cara said."What's wrong Cara?" Her father said."Actually I want to say something" Cara said."About what?" Her mother said."My friend Noah asked me out for dinner tonight, not only the two of us, he also asked his brother to come with us" Cara said and all eyes fell on her, including Rosie."What? But it's Saturday, the day we spend time together and who are Noah and Sean? Did you forget what I said about telling us anything including who your friends and boyfriends are" Her dad says."I know, but I think mom and dad know who these two are, actually only one of them. They're an Alpha, they're in the same pack. They're very nice to me, Sean is the guy who helped me yesterday and gave me
