A few minutes earlier.
William smiled as he sat on one of the park benches before Erika's apartment. The black-haired man was leaning against the back of the bench with both arms extended and one leg over the other holding a milkshake in one of his hands.
The alpha had his gaze fixed on the window that he knew overlooked the smiling omega's home. At the same time, he listened carefully to what he heard in the headset he had.
Before leaving, he placed some microphones in hidden places for things that only had to do with Erika and him.
He doesn't remember the last time he was as happy placing the microphones. Hearing the platinum-haired white-haired girl's voice again made his stomach turn in a wonderful way.
Hearing how she reacted to the gift he gave her caused something in his body to buzz with satisfaction in a delicious way.
The conversation he had with that beta friend of his caused him amusement. The call was made in a voice loud enough for it to be possible to hear it.
The quality of the equipment he installed allowed him to hear everything as if he were there talking to them.
When he heard Erika hide the way she left her present to one of the most trusted people in her life. It caused him a feeling of joy and pride knowing that the aforementioned wanted to keep certain details of their relationship private.
Then when he read the icing she had written on her gift, his smile turned mischievous and his eyes took on a crimson glow. Her embarrassed tone made him imagine her all blushed not knowing where to look, completely still due to how embarrassed she surely felt.
She surely looked like a beautiful cherry that he wanted to devour.
Resisting the urge to throw away all the planning he did to have a good contact that gave him that mental image was a herculean task.
William wanted more. He longed to have more, but he knew that if he gave in to his impulses and improvised he couldn't stop, even if he wanted to. He would have to be content for the moment with the gift and the note along with the feelings that these generated.
Apart of course from what he had as a wild card.
Aballay would take his cell phone out of his pocket looking at Erika's contact that he got the same night he met her from the alpha he had as a guitarist in his band.
Having it at hand has been a blessing as well as a curse since in addition to having it at hand it served as a temptation that weighed on him wherever he went.
Hour after hour, minute after minute, second after second. The alpha could feel how the burden was getting heavier, but he held on remembering that he had been saving it for when everything was ready. And gradually increasing the contact between them.
Wanting to keep the omega's interest and curiosity without getting into any kind of altercation, not wanting to attack her when they finally meet.
Although having a slight practice fight to see how skilled the white-haired girl is, after having a confrontation where both would measure themselves against each other, giving Aballay the perfect opportunity to demonstrate his skills and dominance, cornering the Belion, possibly cornering her against a wall, the two of them stuck against each other with their breaths colliding with each other.
The black-haired man looked away from the window, biting his lower lip until he drew blood, feeling his pheromones slightly destabilized at the same time that his clothes seemed to tighten in certain areas.
"(I better get out of here)" -William got up from his place realizing his condition, he decided not to stay so as not to make it worse and calming down he began to walk at a leisurely pace until he reached his black Toyota Land Cruiser parked a couple of blocks away-
When the alpha reached his vehicle he opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. Taking advantage of the small space to control his body by leaning back in the luxurious imported leather seat.
"(That was dangerous)" -William would think as he shook his head and started the car, putting it in gear and leaving the fortunately empty street- "(Now I'm not only going to have to bear the urge, but I'm also going to have to be careful with the thoughts I might have... being an alpha gamma is very complicated)" -the alpha would sigh gripping the steering wheel harder causing it to creak a little from the pressure-
***
Currently.
Erika would sigh looking at her cell phone imagining what Alison could mean by the little adult conversation.
"(It must be times like these that Emma is grateful that betas can't conceive puppies)" -the omega would think with a bit of sadness and amusement- "(I hope that perverted alpha doesn't go to...)"
"Who are you talking to sister Eri?"
"Mmm?" -Erika would hum as she heard the small voice behind her getting an idea of who it belonged to- "(Is she awake yet?... Was I busy talking to Emma for so long?)"
"Big sister?"
"I was talking to your aunts" -the older white-haired girl would turn around seeing how Rose came towards her scratching her eye with her fist while dragging an old teddy bear on the floor with her other hand- "something... unexpected happened so they had to cut... but they send their regards to both you and Melina"
"Aunt Alison and Aunt Emma called?!" -The youngest Belion would scream, opening her eyes while smiling from ear to ear- "Did they send that cake?" -The little white-haired girl would drop her bear and run in the direction of the desert, but would be stopped by 2 hands holding her waist- "Sister?" -Rose would turn her head, looking curiously at Erika who with a slightly bigger smile would hold her in her hands, picking her up and gently sitting her on her lap, getting in the way of the target's view-
"Relax, little sister, you will eat cake, but first I have to make some arrangements so that Melina can eat it too… could you wait in your bed so I can do it?… I promise you that the wait will be worth it." -Erika would say, to which after a few moments she would receive a nod along with a sigh that would soften her heart-
"Okay"
