1. Don't Hate Me

In his shadow all this time he lived, Adrian Gautier never thought that he would be someone so patient in waiting for each of his births. He has gone through a long life of many births, and will always end up with the same person. The same person he always looks forward to and never once gets tired of being with his.

Adrian discovers a pheromone scent that makes him stop in his activities only to suck it deeper than usual. The same scent always accompanies him in every life, being one of the most effective ways when he finally finds his partner again after hundreds of years have passed.

He in his first life was never interested in anything, Alpha, Beta, or Omega. They are always the same, approaching him not only because Adrian is an Alpha but because of the vault buried in his house. However, all of that collapsed when for the first time Adrian discovered pheromones floating in the air as he breathed in his morning air. The pheromone he had been longing for.

"I said, don't touch me." Shaga Donovan's voice drew Adrian into his long reverie, but it didn't make him pull his hand from above the open stretch of skin on Shaga's arm. He always wanted to touch this red-haired man even more, remembering well every touch inside his head.

His ashy eyes rolled up to see Shaga with furrowed brows rebelling to break free from him. "No need to rebel, Shaga."

"Get out of the way." There was always no tenderness in every word that came out of his mouth, Shaga refused to accept the touch Adrian gave him. His movements do not reflect an ordinary Omega at all Adrian knows that Shaga refused to become an Omega this time.

One week for Shaga to withdraw, was still not enough for him to accept becoming an Omega. Shaga thought that he was going to be an Alpha, but when the test letter was in his hand at that time, Adrian for the first time saw the expression printed on Shaga's face shattered, the harsh words that used to come out of his mouth at that time could not be heard at all. He ran and disappeared for a week, nothing at home or anywhere Adrian could meet in the search that never tired him. In this life, Shaga never came to him to complain about what had disturbed his mind, Adrian.

Being an Omega is destined to have no memory of his previous life. However, not all Alphas remember each of their lives. For Adrian, not all memories of the past are worthy of his recall, there are painful things that he should be able to forget.

Fear always arises in Adrian's life when Shaga is an Omega, that is, in the many pairs of eyes watching Shaga. Now maybe he's here to banish it all, but what if Adrian misses it when Shaga leaves for his business without anyone else's interference? Adrian is not always by his side and Shaga always rejects his presence.

"How can you drive me away like that?" asked Adrian playfully, his hand falling on Shaga's shoulder, encircling him, while gently pulling the body to cling to him. He deliberately attached his Alpha pheromone to Shaga's body as much as possible. Sometimes Shaga's innocence scares him, what if someone else did it and Shaga never noticed it?

Shaga jerks Adrian off his arms and now Shaga stands tall before him. That angry look again appeared there, making Adrian involuntarily hold his breath for a moment. Shaga's pointed index finger pressed against his chest as those flashing eyes aimed at Adrian. "Don't bother me."

Adrian couldn't help but curl his lips to form a smile as a ruddy hue slowly crept up Shaga's face. "Shaga, I want to kiss you."

The look of anger was replaced in an instant, replaced by a look of disgust that aroused a roar in Adrian's chest. "Fuck, shut up."

It was inconceivable before for Adrian that this Omega standing in front of him was his partner who used to always whine not wanting to be away from him. However, this time all that came out of Shaga's mouth was the constant refusal of Adrian to stay away from him.

"Why do you seem so busy all the time?" asked Adrian again, putting his hand on Shaga's narrow shoulder and pulling him closer. Adrian took Shaga to sit on a lounger right under the tree.

"I don't have a thing to play with you. Get out of the way." The rejection coming out of Shaga's lips now didn't mean anything to Adrian, he was used to it and also it was quite funny.

"Shaga, why are you so cruel? I want you to rest, you haven't rested enough since pedaling the bike so hard before."

Adrian's hand went down Shaga's waist when the man seemed unaware of the movement he was making and with it Adrian grinned happily as he didn't get a rejection.

"It's because of you, if you don't go up I won't be like this," Shaga grumbled and realized Adrian's arm had been attached to his body, so he quickly put it aside.

"Well, come to my house. I will give you a massage service as an apology."

Shaga instantly turned to look at him in such a quick motion that their noses were only a little bit away from actually touching or Adrian could grab those lips at the speed of light.

"you..." Shaga was even at a loss for his words, but also he quickly rose to his feet.

"Shaga, where did you go?"

Shaga turned around and pointed at him again. "Don't follow me."

"Whatever your wishes, how could I refuse it," he said with a smile.

Shaga started to step away without turning towards him and it made Adrian sigh harshly. He breathed the air back that he had been holding back since half when he was around Shaga. If he inhaled it more like what Alpha wanted to be in his body, then it is certain that Adrian will completely lose control.

Adrian stood up, he immediately turned around and sharpened his eyes only to find that the figure of this random-haired man in front of him was grinning, then the man said, "Didn't expect to meet him. Again."
