Betrayed By My Scent, Now I Have To Pay The Price

Jerome stared at the letter in his hands, his breath shaky, a gush of wind blowing out of his mouth as he breathed through his mouth.

He had done it, he was accepted into Orlando Academy, one of the nations top Alpha Academy for Boys.

He finally did it, he is going to protect his mother and himself from everyone who wants to hurt them.

But he has to make sure he doesn't get caught, after all he is not an Alpha, he is an omega and omegas are not allowed to take lessons with Alpha, if they catch him they might kill him.

Jerome went to his room and kept the acceptance letter inside his luggage he had already packed. He opened his supply of pheromone suppressant, he had pills, sprays, inhalers and injections, this way nobody would ever detect who he truly is.

The next stage is looking for a tangible explanation why he'll be away for nine months and only be back during holidays to his mother.

He can't say he was going to look for a job because his family is wealthy, not too wealthy but they are okay.

He pulled open his drawer and pulled out a fake acceptance letter into a university he had forged, he took it to his mother.

"You got into the University?" His mother asked smiling so hard. "I'm so proud of you my baby Jerome."

Jerome smiled and internally exhaled, his mother bought the lie.

"I know you are excited to start school but remember, you need to stay away from the betas, they like to believe they are better than us and like to think of themselves as the next generation alphas. You know who you are and how some people look at us, take care of yourself okay?" Ella said, her motherly instincts were ticking.

Jerome nodded and hugged his mother, "I will mom, I'll be careful." He kissed her hair.

"So when are you leaving? From the letter it shows you'll be living on campus." His mother asked leaning into his hug.

"Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Jerome isn't that too early?" She was about to pull away from the hug to look at her son in the eyes but Jerome tightened his hold, he didn't want to look at his mother in the eyes and lie.

"I want to go early, I want to get a good room and also get familiar with the environment." He said.

Ella sighed but nod her head, she had no choice but to accept, since her son wants to go early then he can go early.

The next day, Jerome packed his stuff into his car, he had told his mom last night not to worry about dropping him off, she shouldn't worry he could go there on his on.

Ella hugged her baby boy one last time before waving him bye.

The moment Jerome entered his car, he stilled himself, he is going to be an Alpha from now on, he has to breath right, look right, talk right and be ruthless like Alphas, from now on Jerome the omega was dead.

He drove to school, he had wiped the smile off his face.

When he was far enough, he pulled out the suppressant he had put in his pocket and injected himself with and then sprayed himself with a good amount of suppressant spray.

Jerome arrived the academy, he dared not look around like someone lost, like someone who didn't belong.

With his right hand shoved into his pocket and a cold expression on his face, and a map on the other hand, he maneuvered himself to the Dean's office.

Everyone else was staring at him wondering who he was however Jerome just kept his head straight, he was shaking inside but poise outside.

He finally arrived the Dean's office, he knocked once and then went in.

"Good Afternoon Mr Kale, I'm Jerome Wooledge." Jerome said to the man who hadn't even asked who he was.

The Dean stared at Jerome in the eyes, Jerome held his gaze too without fear in his eyes.

"You are the new student?" The Dean asked.

"Yes I am." He pulled a seat and sat down, not breaking eyes contact with the Dean.

"You applied to stay alone, why is that?" The Dean asked, he had shifted his gaze from Jerome to the monitor in front of him, Jerome's file was displayed on the monitor.

"Because I like my personal space, I don't want anyone snooping around my stuff or getting too close to me." Jerome replied.

The Dean stared at him one last time before placing two sets of keys, a timetable, sportswear, and text books on the table.

"Welcome to Orlando Academy Mr Wooledge." They shook hands and then Jerome excused himself.

He shoved his hand back into his pocket and went back his car, he carried his luggage and went to his room.

The moment the door shut behind him, Jerome breathed out in relief, he shut his eyes and breathed, he was finally in and there was no turning back.

Jerome settled in, he located his locker and kept his books inside, he unpacked his suitcase, hid his suppressant deep inside his closet, the moon and stars were already up by the time he finished.

Jerome stood outside the balcony and stared at the world outside, with no one around he could finally be himself.

He pulled out his phone and texted his mother to let her know he was in, he had settled in and everything was great.

The next day, even before the rooster could alarm everyone about the early morning, Jerome was already up and prepared for the morning drill, he wants to be the best, he wants to be tough, he wants to be everything omegas are not supposed to be.

He took a pill and popped it into his mouth and drank it with water and then sprayed himself with his suppressant spray before leaving for the morning drill.

He was among the first three people to arrive, he stood in front with his hand behind his back.

He straightened his spine as if settling into a position of judgement, his shoulders squared, cutting off any hint of softness.

He felt the gaze of someone burning his face, he wanted to ignore it but couldn't.

He finally caved in the looked at the source of the intense gaze, the person was staring at him with no expression on his face, his green eyes gave him a once over before he turned to face his front.

Jerome wondered what that was for but didn't dwell on it, he decided to face his front since the instructor was already there.
