Chapter 40: His Side

Chapter 40

Alpha.

I massaged my forehead as I finished reading the papers presented at my tables. I still had a lot of papers to read, I got no time to rest. Time is one of my enemies in my job. These papers are something that can't be delayed or else, I'll fucked up big time.

I opened my drawer and took out my medicines. I drink two tablets of it. I had been feeling this headache for a long time now and I can't do anything about it. I must endure it since a lot of things were depending on me.

I sighed before continuing my job.

It's around 7 P.M. went I finished those papers. My 5 hours non - stop misery is now through... or so I thought.

I heard a knock through my door. "Come in," I said. The door slowly opened and I saw my secretary. I raised my right eyebrow. "What?"

She smirked. "Chill, boss. You looked like a mess."

I clicked my tongue. "Spill it." And again, she chuckled.

"Well, Mr. Venson is looking for you. He said that there's something he needs to tell you about the... you know." She said. I sighed before standing up.

'Another misery has started.' I thought.

"I'm going," I said then put on my coat. "Stuck those files neatly."

She saluted at me. "Aye, aye!" She walked towards my table. I followed her with my eyes. Who has thought that she would stay by my side for all these years?

I think she felt that I was staring at her, so she lifted her head. "Yaz? Anything else?"

I looked at her stolidly. "You can go home after that." I saw how her face brightened.

"Eh?!"

My forehead twitched. "Yeah, I'm going now." I held the door but for the second time, I looked at her. "And Chlel," I called her name.

"Hmm?"

"Tell Clayton I miss him." She smiled.

"Sure." I went out.

The sound for my shoes echoed around the noiseless hallway. It's just like this during the night, but it's always lively during the daytime. I walked a little before reaching a door. This door was secured and only authorized people can enter. I pressed the passcode before scanning my fingerprint on the scanner. Few seconds passed before the door open. I entered. There were only a few lights near the entrance but the place started to brighten as I go further.

The inside part of the door was exactly the opposite of the hallway. This place was pretty much brighter and the noise was loud. The room was big inside. There are a few people near me doing their thing and I noticed the person who called for me here.

"Lazarus," I called. He immediately looked at me.

"Hey, buddy." He tapped my shoulder. "I didn't notice you entering."

"It's fine, I know you're busy too." He chuckled a little which made me arch my eyebrow. "What?"

"Well, I'm still not used to that voice of yours. Lol." He said. I hissed.

"I drank the 2 tablets of that medicine earlier, my head's twitching." I honestly said as I observe the screen in front of us.

"That's why I told you, you shouldn't drink that medicine more than my prescription if you still want to balance your pheromones and senses." He said. "This wouldn't happen if you only follow my instructions before." He added.

"The what? Monthly injections? Lazarus, you know I can't. The side effects of injections are too strong. My real job will be at risk if I do that before. Other people shouldn't know about this, it's still not available for the public's eyes."

"Soon, it'll be." He said firmly. "And once this drug is tested and approved, I'll be the one who'll check up on you about your medicines!" I know this is a serious matter, but out of nowhere, I laughed. "The fuck?"

"Hahaha... sorry," I said.

He looked at me with a little disgust. "Even your laugh sounds so hollow. You're such a faker."

"Whatever," I said. "So, why did you call me?"

"Here." He handed a bottle of medicine. "You can drink that instead of taking 2 tablets pheromone changer. Take that first before taking the pheromone charger tablet and remember to take that every day. That'll also help you balance your pheromones. Maybe after a month, you'll be back at your normal state."

I stared at the medicine that he gave me. "You're done developing this?"

"Yeah..." He seems forlorn.

"Thanks..."

He tapped my shoulder. "You shouldn't be. It's my fault that you're experiencing that." All these years, he's still blaming himself. "I'm sorry if it took long.

I'm sorry if you have to do it for my---" I cut him off.

"Nope, it's fine. I'm doing this for him. For them."

He stared at me. "I hate your selflessness."

After our talk, I went out of the room to go back office in this building. I gather my personal belongings before heading out of the building. I reached the parking lot and looked for my car. Then I drove back to my house.

When I arrived, I headed straight to my room. I took off my clothes and changed into comfortable sleepwear. I laid down on my bed and try to sleep. After few minutes, I fell into a deep sleep.

My consciousness is fading...

My body felt numb...

My throat felt dry like I haven't drink water for few days...

And my stomach is aching, I'm starving...

I felt a cold hand touched my face. There's was a little voice whispering through my ears. The voice came from a young girl. "Wake up... wake up..." I tried to open my eyes and I saw a dirty and pale face of a girl. I looked at my body, I'm in my child state.

"Jenny..." I mumbled. The name just comes put from my mouth. She held my body and helped me to get up. "Ahh..." I moaned in pain when I arms. I looked at it and I noticed many needle scars on it. I looked at the girl. "Where is he?" I asked, about someone important to me.

The girl named Jenny held my face. "They took him." She said then bit herself. Her grip tightened. "Listen, when those bastards come back, act like you're in deep pain or at least trying of puking or something. Show them that you're sick."

"How will I do that?" I asked her.

"I don't know!" She said in agitation. My eyes started to form tears. I saw her worried face and I felt her thumb caressed my face. "I'm sorry... hmm... okay, used your finger, pushed it to your mouth like this." She did what she was saying. I saw her tearing up while doing it, after a moment she started to puke. "Blerghh!!!"

I just started at her while she's puking. I don't know why. But... I don't feel gross about it. When she calmed down, she wiped her finger on her ruined shirt. "Y-You see that? You'll do that okay?" I didn't respond. "You understand me, right? They'll leave you here if you do---" I cut her off.

"They'll take you if I do that," I said in low voice. Her shoulder drooped.

"I know. That's why you must do it." She said in a firm voice. I didn't get the chance to reply when we heard the door opening. We immediately laid down and pretended to sleep. Someone's entering the room.

"Useless prick!" I heard one of them talked and followed by a huge thud. They dumped something.

'They brought him back!'

"They smell bad!" The other one talked.

"Pitiful creatures for sure they'll die soon."

"Psh, they can't! It's so hard to find dominant alpha and omega as test subjects, we can't let them die here!" They seem mad. "Go take that one!"

I heard footsteps coming in my direction. My back was facing them so I can't see them. I closed my eyes and pushed my finger through my mouth. In instant, I vomit. I can feel my stomach aching, I'm throwing up nothing but salivas. Which is something expected since we got nothing to eat. The man coming near me so I lifted my hand and held his pants. "He- Help..."

"Shit!" I felt his hand hit my head, I instantly fell. "GROSS!!! You shit!" He started kicking me and I don't have the strength to protect myself.

"Fucker, stop it! We need that thing alive!" The other man shouted. "Take the girl instead."

"Tsk." The man clicked his tongue. I felt him leave my side. After a while, the doors closed. With my little strength, I tried to get up and looked around. He's here but Jenny is missing.

"J-Jenny?" I called her but no one answered.

"Jenny..." I called her once more.

"Jenny..." and again.

"Jenny!" Again.

"Jenny!" I instantly opened my eyes. I found myself in my bed, not in that dark place. I was full of sweats and my hands are feeling cold. I took few deep breaths to calmed myself.

'It's that dream again...'

When I calmed down a bit, I looked at my side table where my phone was located. I grabbed it and composed a message.

'I want to see you. I need you, my love. '

I read it few more times. I sighed and deleted it. This is my routine for almost 10 years. Composing a message for him but later delete it without sending it to him. I can't do it.

I opened the last message he sends to me 3 years ago. 'Forgive me, my alpha. I betray you. I'm sorry .'

I have no idea what happened after that night. I was in complete slumber after accepting Kyle's drink with sleeping pills. That day, I saw it in his bag, he's planning to unveil the truth. I know time will come when he'll get tired of my shits and it came. I didn't stop his plan. It's his choice to break his promise. It just that, I hope he had given me more time, for me to admit it but yeah... shits happen. After that day, I didn't try to chase him. My real identity must be too much for him to take.

I shooked my head. I'm the one who made him do it. My greed to have him all by myself made him do that. "I miss you, Kyle." I softly whisper as if he's here beside me.

I closed my eyes and get cold water then drink it. Same routine every day and I'm used to these dreams because it was pretty normal for me. I used of waking up because of fear of my past. I get up while holding my phone. I dialed another number. After few rings, he answered the call.

"Hey, how's Jenny?"

DN's Note:

Thanks for supporting my story! This will be the last chapter for volume 1. I know there's still a lot of secrets with the alpha's identity, I hope y'all still support this story until I unveil the truth. I never thought I could make such an incredible story. I know I have a lot of mistakes (especially the grammar HAHAHA!) So I'm very sorry. Honestly, I was planning to write this in my local language but I want to try writing something that everyone could enjoy, and here it is- my story, Mark Him Not.

At first, what I want to do is to make a webtoon of this story but I can't draw HAHAHA! But I hope I could still achieve that dream lol.

I'm really glad I chose Webnovel as my platform to write my stories. You guys are all supportive huhu. I love you. Also, I received few contracts about this being in the paid program (Webnovel and another website), but I refused for now since I know, I still need to fix a lot of errors in MHN. Maybe in the future? Lol. I hope you still support me even if I decided to do that.

I'll try to update more often. I'm so sorry I write stories at 1 A.M., I'm also busy with my studies (college life huhu) and my application for a part-time job. I'll do my best to finish this story before 2021 ends.

And that's all, HAHAHA! If you have questions, you can comment down. I'll answer it in the next chapter. You can also, DM me on my social media acc, @DriewNrocinu on Twitter, and @driew_nrocinu on Instagram.

So that's all! Luvlots my baby potatoes! Wait for the volume 2!

P.S. Try to read my other story, God's Quest: Gallant Player. I'll update there soon. I'm also planning to write a new teen fiction story, hope you'll support it! UwU💕
