Chapter 7

HIS POINT OF VIEW:

Troy's message bothered me a lot, but I decided to not mind it. I went back to my room to change my sheets since his residual pheromones on my bed could cause trouble for me. As my eyes examined the whole room, a backpack that was on the floor caught my attention.

It was his backpack.

I walked towards it and bent my knees to pick it up from the floor. I put the bag on my bed and took his things out to see if there was some kind of address where I could deliver this. Unfortunately, I did not find anything except for an ID that looked quite worn out. Maybe it's been used for more than two years, I guess? The ID states his name and the university where he goes to.

Justin Vincent Alvarez from X University, huh?

Luckily, I know my way around X University since it's my alma mater.

I never knew that something as trivial as that would be useful.

I headed to the university and waited for him. No matter where he is, he would probably pass here in the plaza since the plaza is just near the gate of the university. But maybe he did not go to school today since he's in heat. Of course, I did not cross that out as a possibility, since that's very likely to happen. In case he did not come here, I'll just leave this to one of the professors I know, though I hate asking favors from him. That rascal is a pain in the ass.

I waited for him for a few hours, and I even skipped lunch because I thought he might pass by. There were a lot of people asking for my number but every time they ask me, I just say, "I'm sorry, I already have an omega," just like what's happening right now.

"Oh, I guess it can't be helped then. I hope your relationship stays strong," the woman said as she smiled at me. "Thank you," I said, trying to stop myself from smiling.

Relationship, huh?

Just imagining a relationship with Justin makes me happy. Is it weird? I just met him yesterday, yet I already feel like this towards him. Haaa... It is weird.

Maybe he's my... fated mate.

I waited for a few more minutes. I almost gave up waiting for him until I smelled a familiar scent wafting through the air. I turned to the direction where the scent was coming from, and I celebrated in my mind when I saw that it really was him.

I took his backpack and walked towards him, but he stood up and started walking very fast that I had no choice but to run. I removed my sunglasses as I got nearer to him. I grabbed his wrist and pulled him to stop him from walking.

"I found you." I whispered when our eyes met. "Hi, you're Justin, right? I'm sorry I looked at your stuff without your permission. I just really wanted to return your bag to you, which is why I've been waiting for hours to give you back your things," I said as I raised his backpack. "This is yours, right?" I said and smiled.

Damn it. I could smell his pheromones getting stronger and stronger. I can't let him stay here for long because he might get pounced on by an alpha.

"Are you alright? Are you still in heat? Well, that was a dumb question. Of course, you're still in heat," I said, slightly panicking. Is he not going to answer me? "Hey, please answer me. Are you alright?" I asked once again.

He started panting as he looked at me. What's with that look in his eyes...?

He suddenly cupped my cheeks and kissed me. His lips were sweet and soft that it made me want him more. I want to do something more with him...

He moved his lips close to my ear and whispered, "Please do it with me."

Because of my helpless situation, I couldn't do anything but cuss, "Fuck." I bit my lower lip as I looked at his flushed face. I looked around and saw that a lot of people were looking at us, and I could smell different disgusting alpha pheromones somewhere.

I let my pheromones out until the only scent I could smell was ours. The people that have been glancing and whispering were quiet and passed by quickly to avoid getting caught up in the clash of our pheromones. The alphas that have been waiting for a chance to pounce on him trembled in fear as they avoided my gaze.

We should leave this place. Aside from the fact that it might be dangerous for him, it's also very rude of me to let my pheromones out in public.

"What's your address? I'll take you home," I said and clenched my jaw. He just stared at me blankly.

Fuck. What am I supposed to do right now? It's not like I can just leave him here. Some random alpha might get his hands on him. That would be the worst case possible right now.

An omega in heat would attract a lot of alphas and even betas. There's no way people would just let him be when he's in this state.

"What's your address? Please tell me," I repeated. I don't want to have sex with someone who doesn't have the ability to think rationally. I promised to myself that I would never have sex with someone who's in heat.

I don't want to become like my father. I don't want to become like the alphas that I despise the most.

His lips were moving slightly as if he was whispering something. I moved my ear close to his mouth to hear what he was saying.

"Crystal Condo... Unit 1004..." He whispered.

Ah... That condo... It's located in the direction opposite to mine. That place is near this university.

I looked around and saw that some people were still staring at us.

We should probably leave now since we might get more unwanted attention.
