"Is this how you flirt?" Cade can’t seem to forget what he saw. Those actions were an indirect act of invitation. No matter what, he was still alpha and alpha has its needs… stronger needs.
Seth who was handling the contract with Mr. Salvians paused in the midst of it. What was this Alpha saying? Flirting? Well, that was right, however... did he make it so obvious?
"What are you talk-"
Mr. Salvians looked him straight in the eye, crossed his legs and arms, "You want me to wear your designs in front of you "only" and now you want me to take off my clothes? Seems like you are thirsty, should I quench it for you?"
There was a total sense of filthiness at that stare and tone. He gave so much emphasis to the word quench. Cade was known to dislike omegas in general, for him they were all using their pheromones to lure the Alpha, to snag one, to get a mark and get themselves pregnant to tie them to the eternal partnership without love but only lust and greed.
"I won't be surprised if you use your pheromones next... Mr. Lacklored."
Ahhh! my Alpha is totally badass... such a mouth should be washed clean by Sodium Hypochlorite to kill all bad bacteria.
"I think you're overreacting Mr. Salvians. Don't use that dominance and arrogance on me. You said you don't want to wear my design but as a designer, I need to see my muse wear it to have inspiration..."
Do I really need to explain all this... oh! well, I don't like misunderstanding, after all, that just creates more problems.
"Also, I'm going to measure your body that's why you need to take off your clothes. You don't need to get naked, just that one layer is fine... or... is this Mr. Salvians's way of flirting? insulting me to get my attention?"
You don't need to my Alpha... you already have it since I was a kid. Why is he so hard to talk to?
"That strategy will not get you laid Mr. Salvians..." Seth rose up and fix his clothes, "I'll leave the documents here, have your secretary send it over after you sign… and tell me when is the best time to measure you. The earlier the better."
Mr. Salvians was left speechless, unable to utter a single word. An omega mocking him, his pride was attacked again. After that omega showed him those… now he was mocking him. Did he misunderstand him? Or was this a new strategy to get him?
"Then I’ll-" he stopped in his words, something was not right, what was that smell? A scent of peach was covering the whole office and it was making him...
"Mr. Sal- Mr. Salvians, let me use t-the bathro-"
Seth was blushing red; his body was acting weird again and it was not the right timing. He was searching his pockets but unfortunately, he forgot to bring his medicines again.
His knees went weak and his eyes went blurry, it was starting. He is on his heat cycle.
Why now? this Alpha will think I did it on purpose.
He forced himself to walk to the bathroom but his legs betrayed him, he falls to the floor and can't lift himself back up.
In this world, omegas went into heat three to four times a year that could last three to four days. They could either inject themselves with a suppressant to survive the heat cycle or have an alpha to help them get relieved. The first one was harmful to the body while the latter needs trust and protection.
An omega in heat has a higher chance of getting pregnant.
Before he could try to stand up again, two long and muscled arms envelop his body. The man was blushing red as he and his body was hot and sweating. Seth can hear the heavy breathing of the alpha and a light growl entered his ears.
He shivered.
"Still denying your plan, Mr. Lacklored," Cade whispered in his ears while fighting the urge of lust.
"Tsk. Asshole! I did n-not plan this... I don't w-want sex with- without love..."
Seth's body was getting hotter and hotter and Cade embracing him didn't help at all. He can smell Cade’s pheromones he can feel those firm chests and those sturdy arms holding him. Thinking of it makes that part of his body erect some more.
He can feel the alpha sniffing his glands, “… smells good… haa… you smell good.”
Seth with his little sanity left in him sense the danger, "Coldwater... b-bathe me in cold water"
"As if that would help you. Let me-"
"DON'T! don’t you dare touch me... just c-cold water and c-call, my secretary."
Mr. Salvians was shocked by that solid resistance that brought him back to sanity some parts of him were delighted but a part of him was screaming to be freed. This peach scent was affecting every cell in his body. He wants this scent all to himself.
"If you say so."
Fighting all temptation, Cade put him inside the bathroom as requested and open the cold shower. He then went out and lock the door. Outside the bathroom, he took his handkerchief and cover his nose to lessen the effect on him.
He can't stay in the same room with him but he didn't leave, afraid that someone will barge in and catch on to that smell like a wolf guarding his territory but why does he care? Why does he have this sense of ownership of that omega? Just the thought that someone will...
He slams his hand so hard on the table and his eyes darken, his inner voice was telling him to devour Seth, “Seth Lacklored what the hell did you do to me?!"
After thirty minutes, Alexis arrived at the office, when he received the call from Mr. Salvians, he left his meeting in a hurry. Alexis ensures to bring Seth's medicine anywhere he goes because he knew how forgetful his friend was.
"Mr. Salvians! Where is he?" he was gasping for air as he arrived. No time to exchange pleasantries but he was welcomed with a loud growl. Alexis knew this action; nobody should enter a wolf's den with omega in heat unless they want to die.
“I’m a beta. I came in peace.” He said almost shouting.
"Bathroom."
Alexis’s barge opened to the bathroom and found his friend soaked in cold water, shivering and face so red. "Little Seth... take this." After injecting the suppressant, Alexis covers his friend with his coat and sprayed pheromone concealer to avoid problems.
Seth half-opens his eyes and after seeing his friend's face he sobs, pouring all his tears to him, "Ali... it hurts. It hurts so much."
"Why did you endure it again? You have a very healthy Alpha outside that can help you!"
"Y-you know why right? Don't scold me, just take me home."
"If he only knew how luc-" Seth covers his mouth and smiled at him. A smile in the midst of the struggle he had with his body.
While leaving the office, Cade’s eyes followed them. He hates seeing someone touching Seth even if it’s a beta and he can’t understand why.
He took him home and called the doctor over to examine Seth. Usually, the medicine will last twenty-four hours but the effect was getting shorter. It could only last for four hours now.
He was taking this medicine for five years and in those five years, this was the first time he encountered such a situation. Why does it have to be with that Alpha?
Ah! I bet he's mad right now.
The scent of Seth still lingers in the four corners of the office. Cade was pensive the whole day, he wanted to leave to escape that scent but his body won't move the way he wanted to. He wanted to sniff that aroma until the very last air holding it. He wanted that peach scent all by himself.
"You hypnotized me with your scent. I applaud you... Mr. Lacklored."
Cade Salvians, is the only Alpha known for his overbearing dominance, arrogance, and belief in true love, not lust. He was not the buff kind of Alpha but his body structure was enough to make one salivate.His aura was so strong, like a magnet forcing you to bow down and fold your knees. He had a sharp tongue, speaking anything he thought was true and this adds to his charisma. Women and men alike run after him but no one succeeds. Nobody has caught the Alpha's eyes.As the President of a company, Cade’s routine was to check the mall once every week. There were times that he visits without everyone's knowledge. Once a month he will check the branches located in other countries, that's how serious he was in business. No time to slack off, a second wasted was a million loss. Only fools with no ambition stay stagnant. "Mr. President! Here is the schedule for today."Cade was walking on the second floor of the mall; this floor was mostly selling dresses that the only upper class can aff
Weeks after the heat incident, Seth did not bother to contact Cade nor did he ask his assistant to follow up on the signed partnership agreement. He made himself busy with designing and thinking about how his alpha views him now. He was too embarrassed to face Cade after all the things he said to him. It was half true that the reason he approached him was to get his attention but he never thought of using his pheromones to get him.How can he face his Alpha, when he thought that he was only there to seduce him? Such an epic scenario. He wanted to hide in a cave or bury himself in an underground tunnel. He was too ashamed.He was sighing all day, keep thinking of Cade, and pestering his assistant to keep his mind distracted. He wanted to see him but for now, he should distance himself to avoid his Alpha from slipping away."Can you stop that? If you want to see him then visit his office." Alexis was at his limit now. Seth follows him everywhere and talks about Cade all day but his hand
Two hearts: one heart fully knew what he wanted, his feelings, and the object of his desire while the other heart mistook the other party’s advances as evil seduction, bewitching him with flawless tactics. For the Salvians family, meeting four times a year was always a must; all the family members should follow. Whatever emergency or important plans they have, everything should be canceled, or rather it should not be planned at all in the first place. It was a tradition that should be respected. However, ... It was a fine sunny morning; gentle winds blew outside and the little leaves on the trees sway along with it. Seth woke up at six in the morning to prepare to meet his alpha, Cade Salvians. He made himself a simple breakfast of coffee and toasted bread to leave space for the early morning meeting with Cade. With what the secretary conveyed, they were meant to meet at eight in the morning sharp, not a minute late and so he was trying his best not to make his venerable alpha wai
He felt it. He sensed it. He knew... his gut feeling never failed him. Just seeing the familiar road of his once old home still shocked his whole being. He lived on this side of the city once when he was still part of the Lacklored family.Now, he’s going to his Alpha's home, or was it really a home and not some pieces of cement put together, painted with white and gold, adorned with luxurious furniture? "Are you sure you want me inside?" asked Seth who was still surprised by the sudden turn of events, "... I'm sure this is not part of the meeting. Think about it again.""Are you afraid? Is the great omega, the top richest omega afraid of entering the wolf's den?" his tone had a hint of probing and insult yet manipulative. His eyes never leave the tablet."I'll gladly enter that gate but what I'm afraid of is you get-""Seems the great omega knows a lot about me. Are you…” he turns his head slowly away from the tablet and faces Seth eye to eye, his pinkish lips curved upward, he conti
If asked if he was happy about him going to the Salvians Family Villa, Seth would immediately say no. He was not happy for his Alpha. He was not happy for himself. He was not happy for both of them. He does not want to meet any of his family. It was exhausting faking pleasantries, exchanging smiles, and saying artificially sham words to get their good sides. A lady in her early twenties approached Seth who was sitting on the big sofa. The lady's voice was soft and calm, with a friendly tone and a friendly aura. "... are you not tired?" Casey was the only one that Seth felt comfortable talking to maybe because she exudes familiarity, they have the same interest in fashion and an omega like him. All in all, Casey was at least bearable. "…if it's him, I'm not tired at all." Seth then stood up not willing to continue the conversation. It was already too much for him to eat with the whole family, he wanted to spare himself from pain. After all, he was just a pretend lover. "Why is the
A businessman was a risk-taker and Cade was willing to bet his "I'm not easy to get, I am an Alpha" image to let the great omega understand that he was better than that fly alpha. As a business partner, he deemed it his responsibility to help Seth select an outstanding alpha that he deserved. Besides, Seth agreed to pretend so this can be considered as his gratitude. Also, it was just a coffee and Seth was his business partner. One should get to know his business partner well... in every way possible.His grips loosen, his seatbelt unbuckled and the door opens in a flash. He stood beside his car and without hesitation, he shouted, "Mr. Lacklored, does the offer still stand?"Seth who was approaching the gate, with both his hands in his pocket, paused and lightly curved up his lips, turning half of his face to Cade, he said, "Mr. Salvians said he has another appointment, it's bad for business to keep the other party waiting."Cade, who made up the excuse had to come up with another exc
Dinner time came and Seth ordered cake through Alexis who raised an eyebrow after learning that the Alpha was in his friend's house, he had almost added a pheromone enhancer to the food to make things spicy for his friend but after thinking that this was not a good idea and Seth might unfriend him, Alexis dismissed the thoughts. Cakes and other foods arrived at the house. Alexis did not bother to stay after getting a shoo stare from his flirty omega friend. His lovesick friend did not even offer him a slice of cake. Tsk. Seth and Cade enjoyed the night chatting about the project and the designs of SeCa. He showed him his closet full of his own designs and Cade saw how serious Seth was about his profession and passion, this somehow made a way to slowly change his opinion of Seth. He heard a lot of rumors about the great omega, his rival. How the alphas that admire him and lining to get him were rejected one by one, some did not even have a chance to approach him. He was regarded as t
As the president of the company, Cade’s calendar was fully packed. Today, he was scheduled to fly out of the country for a partner's meeting. It was a shoe company that wanted to display its product in all Y&M malls. The President of the shoe company will personally meet Cade to discuss a partnership and so he needed to show up. [Can't deny, I look handsome here 😊] Seth who saw the response chuckled thinking that his Alpha might be dense sometimes but he was cute. Too cute that he wanted to enter the phone and hug him. [I think I look more handsome than you 😎] Unfortunately, Cade turn off his phone and the message will be read later or might not be. Arriving at the airport, he went directly to the location of the meeting. It was snowing, and the side of the road had some piled-up snow. Due to the slippery road, the driver drives slower than usual and traffic ahead was heavy. This week he will stay in London. The secretary booked a restaurant in Trafalgar Square with a 1920s de
