One

The worst thing that could have occurred to you would have been to wake up next to your enemy naked. Eden experienced this, feeling a hand around his waist and experiencing excruciating anguish throughout his body and head. Upon seeing that it was Lior, the person he detested both in their pack and at the university, he felt as though cold water had been thrown on him. However, he was powerless to stop the young man, as he was the son of their pack leader. Without waking him up, he swiftly took off the other man's hand. He was going to get up when someone pulled him back into bed. Lior tied Eden to the bed and asked, with a husky tone of voice, "Where are you going?”

Eden screamed, "Let go of me, Lior," and attempted to break free of the young man's grasp, but because he is a recessive alpha, his power will not become dominant. Lior gave a sly smile. "After everything we did last night?" the other man whispered as he leaned down. Eden was disgusted to hear that and used all of his effort to push the alpha away from him. Without delay, he got up and put the blanket around himself. However, he instantly averted his gaze upon realising that Lior was nude. Eden said, enough so that the other man could hear his mumble, "Let's forget this happened."

"Fine," Lior agreed, and with that, Eden immediately picked up his clothes and left. The other alpha was watching him leave. Eden had already returned to their house before he even entered. He smelled his clothes. If the people in their house could smell Lior's scent on him, it's a good thing he had a scent with him. When he entered their house, he was about to go up to his room when he heard his father's voice. "Where are you from? You know your mom is worried about you," said Valentine, Eden's father's name. The young alpha rolled his eyes and answered without even turning to look at his father. He can see his stepmother and daughter peeking from the second floor; Eden refuses to call her mother even though she was married to his father because he still believes Vanessa was the reason his real mother died. "I just slept at Nico's house; don't worry, I won't make Vanessa worried again.”

"Good, prepare for later, and we had a pack meeting at the main pack house," Valentine reminded him. Eden just nodded, but deep inside, he doesn't want to meet Lior again because of what happened last time. He remembered that he still had work at their pack clinic, so he apologised to his dad and was going up to his room. Eden met Vanessa and Janice, and one of the ladies approached him. He was trying to ignore them, but Janice held his hand tightly. "I tried to find you last night, but you're gone." She tried to sound sad, making Eden gag. He forcefully removed her hand. "Don't act like you care; it doesn't suit you," he said as he walked to his room. He even slammed the door on them. "That bastard!" Janice clenched her fist, and Vanessa just calmed her daughter. "Don't worry, because tomorrow he will disappear from this house.”

After resting for a few hours, Eden took a shower and changed his clothes because he was going to do his duty. While fixing his hair, he felt a pain in his neck. He quickly checked what it was, and his eyes widened when he saw a deep bite mark on his scent gland, his fist clenching as he remembered who did it to him. He immediately called his best friend Nico, and the other male answered his call, "Hello?" It was obvious from Nico's voice that he had just woken up, but Esen didn't waste any time. "Let's talk, Nics," he firmly said, and Nico could feel that this was urgent, so they decided to meet in a nearby pack. Eden was the first one to arrive, and he thanked him that he didn't bump into his stepmother and half sister as he got out of his room. He ordered drinks for them while waiting for his friend, who arrived right after a few minutes and didn't even change his clothes or wash up.

"What's up with some urgent news, and why do we have to meet?" Nico muttered, grabbing his favourite drink and then tasting it. Eden held his breath while watching his friend because he knew that the other male would be grumpy if he couldn't drink his coffee and then omega things, but even though Nico was an omega, they never got attracted to each other. "Don't be surprised," Eden said, then tilted his head a little bit to show the bite mark. Nico almost choked when he saw it. "Who the fuck marked you?!" The Omega shouted, causing attention from the other customers, and he immediately apologised, then calmed down and lowered his voice, knowing the Alpha in front of him was the son of the right-hand man of their alpha leader. "Is that why you disappeared last night?" Nico whispered, and then Eden started to tell him the whole story.

The Omega can't believe what he has heard; it will be a few more minutes before everything sinks into his brain. "Just for the two of us," Eden strictly said; he doesn't want anyone to know what happened between him and Lior, who was his enemy. "But what's your plan for Lior?" Nico asks. Eden still doesn't know what to do. "It's up to you, but for the meantime, I'll avoid him as much as I can." Their conversation didn't last long because they still had duties at the pack house. Eden bid goodbye to his best friend while Nico went home to make arrangements, and he will also attend the pack meeting later. The young alpha gets his way to the pack clinic to help treat patients; he meets their head doctor nurse, Almira, on the way. "Good morning." The beautiful Omega greeted him with a smile. Eden felt his heart sway but didn't open it. "Good morning. Are there many patients today?" he asked. Almira shook her head. "I'm not quite sure, but let's just check." They went inside while talking, and the others were also there. Eden was about to greet others, but his eyes landed on the certain male that makes his blood boil, which is Lior, who was glaring at him.
