Dinner was ready, her mother called her two daughters for dinner. Cara and Rosie went downstairs together to meet their mother at the dinner table. They sat next to each other, facing their mother. Cara and Rosie saw clearly her mother's expression at that time, her face looked sad, unlike usual.
"Mom, what happened to you?" Cara said and her mother stared at Cara and Rosie before her."Nothing, I was just thinking of something" her mother said."About what?""Cara, it's a matter of parents, you and Rosie just focus on your life" her mother said."Parents' problems? But we are a family, shouldn't any problems be shared together?" Cara said."Cara, you won't understand, it's too complicated if I have to explain it to you two" her mother said.Cara was silent, and so was Rosie. They returned to eating their dinner in silence. There were no more conversations after that between them. Cara occasionally saw her mother's face, she knew her mother was feeling sad. But it's impossible if it's because of her father, because Cara has never seen her parents fight, they love each other.•••The day before entering the heat cycleThat morning it rained again, she was late for work because she overslept. Cara was in a rush that morning, she even skipped breakfast with her sister and mother. After hugging her mother and sister before she left her house. Wearing an umbrella to protect her body from the pouring rain that morning.She chose to run rather than walk before she was getting too late. She felt bad for Gemma, because she must have had a lot of trouble serving the customers that came that morning.But as she was running, she saw someone in front of her, making her stop. It was the man again, the man she had met a few days ago, whose scent made her heart flutter. Now standing right in front of her, as if waiting for her.They stood facing each other, not far from Cara's place of work. The man looked intently at Cara. Cara didn't know what was on the man's mind, why was he staring at Cara like that, Cara's mind went blank at that moment. She was completely transfixed by the man's gaze on her."Why are you blocking my way? Why are you looking at me like that?" Cara said."Do you know who you're dealing with?" the man said."Yeah, you're an Alpha""Interesting, only a prostitute can speak loudly to an Alpha""W-What? What do you mean by that?" Cara said."You're the one who served me at the coffee shop right?" the man said."Yes""But weird, back then you didn't have scent, I thought you were a Beta, but now--""Wait, you smell my scent?" Cara said."Of course, even your scent is strong" The man said and Cara quickly ran past him, she realized she hadn't put on her blockers because of the rain.Cara immediately entered the coffee shop and rushed to the crew room. Gemma, seeing Cara's strange behavior, approached her in the crew room."What's wrong with you? It's raining outside, but you're sweating" Gemma said."This is bad! That man smells my scent" Cara said."What do you mean? Whose man?""You remember that guy I told you a few days ago? The guy who made my heart flutter? The guy whose scent made me feel good? Do you remember the guy? The guy who ordered the machiato""Yes, yes I remember. Did you two meet again?" Gemma said."Yeah he's waiting for me, I haven't put on my blocker because it's raining and stupidly I'm face to face with him""Change your uniform, we'll talk about this later, I'm sure the queue is already long outside" Gemma came out of the crew room and not long after Cara also came out of there. But her eyes widened again when she saw the man in the line.Cara served the customers one by one in front of her, until the man stood in front of Cara with the same sharp gaze as before."Why is your scent now gone?" the man said."What would you like to order?" Cara said, she tried to distract the man."Machiato" the man said.Gemma only saw him from a distance, she smiled because she knew that the man was interested in Cara. Of course she knows for sure about that, she's been with an Alpha for two years, she knows how Alpha's gaze is in love and that's what she saw from the man's eyes when he locked eyes with Cara.•••After the man left, Cara was able to breathe a sigh of relief, she leaned against the counter behind her, as well as Gemma who was beside her."Why do you look so nervous? Is it because of that guy?" Gemma said."Yeah, weird, my heart flutters when I smell his scent but when he starts talking, I feel uncomfortable" Cara said."It seems he is interested in you, I know what kind of look he gave you earlier""What do you mean?" Cara said."Cara, I think you're old enough to understand what love is, right? He didn't even look at me but I know that look has a meaning, I'm sure he's your mate, it's just that he's not sure because right now you're wearing your blocker, making your scent suddenly disappear and making him confused. But that look that Eric always gave me first.""Love? What do you mean he likes me? Isn't it too soon?""Falling in love only takes 3 seconds""Really?" Cara said."Cara, it seems you have a lot to learn about life, there are too many things you don't understand. You are already 23 years old, even though you have never been friends with any Alpha or Beta other than me, but I'm sure you know what the internet is, you can find out what do you want to know there?""Gemma.." Cara said."What?""Do you know about Bold?""Yeah, what's wrong? Don't tell me if you--" Cara quickly covered Gemma's mouth with her hand."Ssh, please keep this secret" Cara said and Gemma just nodded, then Cara released her hand from Gemma's mouth."Cara, are you serious? You are a Bold?" Cara just nodded."Ohh shit, you're cool. You know that only 1 in 10 Omegas are born Bold? But you have to be careful, your scent invites a lot of Alphas and after you told me this, I'm not sure about that guy either. It seems he is not your mate""What do you mean? Why did you change your mind so quickly?""You said the scent makes your heart flutter right? But when you talk to him you feel uncomfortable, it shouldn't be like that, are you sure the scent makes your flutter?""Yeah, it's just that as soon as he spoke, I felt uncomfortable around him""Weird" Gemma said.•••Meanwhile, in another place, the man who had just returned from the coffee shop was already in his room, he opened his jacket and threw his body on the bed. He still imagined Cara's face. Cara is indeed very beautiful, long black hair, white skin, red lips and beautiful eyes. Her style wasn't as feminine as the other girls, but it suited her.Still busy shadowing Cara's face, suddenly someone came into his room, made him return to earth and looked towards the door."Why do you always wear my clothes? I was looking for it" The man said."I'm sorry, I just borrowed it Sean""Noah, how long are you going to be like this? You are only a Fighter, if you wear my clothes it will be dangerous for you" Sean said."But you know Fighter is the weakest, I don't want people to see me like that" Noah said."You are still an Alpha, you are still the strongest among the others""Between Beta and Omega, I know. But in the pack I'm the weakest and only me""But how will you find your mate if you keep covering your scent with mine?""You said you weren't interested in that sort of thing, so it wouldn't hurt you if I used your scent to draw Omega closer to me"."It's dangerous and you know that, if you meet my mate, she can be confused or even she can reject me before we even meet""I know, but I think I've found my mate." Noah said."How? You just go with my clothes""You remember that girl I accidentally bumped into when we were leaving the convenience store? We dropped her umbrella and you gave it to her, do you remember?" Noah said."Yes, I remember""This morning, I met her, I thought she was a Beta, because before I came to the coffee shop where she works but she didn't have any scent. But when today I waited for her near her workplace, I was quite surprised. Her scent was very sweet. She's a Omega" Noah said."She must be using a blocker, so she can work comfortably" Sean said."Blockers? Are things like that still being used in times like these?""Yes of course, her job requires her to meet many people including Alpha. It will be dangerous if she doesn't use it""You should meet her, she's so beautiful, why didn't I notice when I first bumped into her""Maybe it's because you weren't interested in women yet" Sean said and headed outside with his jacket in hand.The first day of Cara's heat cycleOnly screams could be heard from inside Cara's room, she locked the door from the inside so no one would come in. She just curled up in her bed, enduring the excruciating pain in her body, she felt like her bones were crushing, her back felt very hot and her hips ached.There was nothing her mother and Rosie could do but hope Cara would be strong through it all, for a week she had to feel the pain. So far she's gotten through it, at night she'll take suppressants to ease the pain so she can sleep. Although that doesn't change anything.Cara just cried in the middle of the pain, she thought about what Gemma said, is it true that if she met her mate, she wouldn't feel pain like this again?•••That morning Noah came to the coffee place, he was expecting to meet Cara at that time but he only saw one waitress there and that was not the person he was looking for. Noah approached Gemma who was in front of the cashier."Morning, what would you like to order
One week laterCara woke up from her sleep, her body ached, her whole room a mess. For a week Cara never slept well, she always woke up in the middle of her sleep because she felt pain all over her body. But that morning it all started to settle down, she got out of bed and looked at herself in the mirror. She looks messy.Not long after, the sound of knocking on the door was heard, and the voice of her mother calling was heard too."Cara, are you awake? Breakfast is ready" her mother said."Yes, I'm coming" Cara said.She decided to take a shower and tidy up her room before leaving and approaching her mother and sister at the dining table. Rosie immediately hugged her tightly when Cara got close to her."You're great Cara" Rosie said."Thank you Rosie" Cara sat at the dining table and her mother handed her a plate with side dishes."You have to eat a lot to fill your strength" her mother said."Mom" Cara said."Hmm""How did you endure the pain during the heat cycle?""It hurts as mu
It was not a normal day, there were lots of male customers who seemed to be trying to seduce Cara, she had tried to hold back, to be honest she was annoyed at that time, but she had to finish her job. Gemma, who saw the look on Cara's face, approached her and elbowed her."Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are so many customers asking your name? What happened?" Gemma said."Actually, I wasn't wearing my blocker today." Cara said."What? Are you crazy? Cara, this is dangerous for you, you will go home alone, through the streets full of Alpha out there" Gemma said."I know, I know I'm crazy, but Gemma, I can't hide behind that blocker all the time, I have another life, I have to find my mate, my heat cycle is so painful every month, I can't hold it alone, after all I only have 7 years to survive""But you should have told me earlier, I could take better care of you. Do your parents know about this?" Gemma said."My mother and sister know, but not my father, he will definitely be angry whe
After explaining many things to her father, her father finally agreed, he would give Cara his full trust to live her own life. But with one condition, she must always tell her father or mother, who will be close to her, friends or boyfriend. Cara had to tell her parents everything and Cara agreed, it was easy for her.When Cara returned to her room, she plopped down on the bed, she smiled seeing Sean's jacket close to her. Sean's jacket distracted her, she took the jacket and brought it down with her. She sniffed the scent on the jacket. Oddly enough, the scent was really driving her crazy.She imagined Sean's face before her, when he saved Cara from that lewd Alpha. He looks cool, standing in front of Cara, calling her his mate. The interested way he called himself and Cara were different. She got up from her bed and opened her laptop.How to find out in more detail what Hyper is, what makes him different, even though her mother has explained it to her, she has to know more about it,
The next dayNoah was already waiting in front of the coffee shop, he was waiting for Cara to come at the same time as before, it seemed he really fell in love with Cara. A smile even appeared on his face even though he had not met Cara. He entered with his head down at that time, but he already smelled his favorite scent getting closer and when he raised his head, he saw Cara walking towards him."You again, why do you always come here? Can't you make coffee at your house? It's still too early, I don't think your house is near here either" Cara said and passed him, she walked into the coffee shop, greeted Gemma before going into the crew room to change her uniform.Gemma approached her in the crew room, she was wondering what happened to Cara last night, did she come home without problems, or did something happen to her."Are you all right?" Gemma said."Yes, why?""Thank goodness I thought something bad happened to you, I wanted to call you last night but I was so tired and fell asl
Actually Cara was interested in Noah's offer, as long as she was alive, Cara really only had her family, she never even went out with Gemma. Weekends are indeed the time when the family gets together and spends time together. But in this new life, Cara wants to do something different, she intends to tell her parents first and contact Noah for answers.It was a very cold afternoon. How to walk on a street that wasn't as crowded as usual. She listens to music with her earbuds. While humming she passed the same road every day. Then her eyes fixed on someone in front of her. She was sure it was someone she knew, the closer she got to the man, the more scent she smelled and she knew who the man was."Sean" Cara said."Oh hi" Sean said."What are you doing here?""I'm waiting for someone" Sean said."Ah well then, I'll go first" Cara said."Wait.." Sean held Cara's hand, but he immediately removed his hand from Cara's hand before Cara cursed at him like what Cara did to Noah."What?" Cara s
SaturdayThat morning, Cara was still having breakfast with her family, she had not said anything to her father and mother about her plans. But she had to say it, she didn't know what they would answer after hearing Cara's request but she had already said she would go with Noah and Sean."Mom, dad.." Cara said."What's wrong Cara?" Her father said."Actually I want to say something" Cara said."About what?" Her mother said."My friend Noah asked me out for dinner tonight, not only the two of us, he also asked his brother to come with us" Cara said and all eyes fell on her, including Rosie."What? But it's Saturday, the day we spend time together and who are Noah and Sean? Did you forget what I said about telling us anything including who your friends and boyfriends are" Her dad says."I know, but I think mom and dad know who these two are, actually only one of them. They're an Alpha, they're in the same pack. They're very nice to me, Sean is the guy who helped me yesterday and gave me
That night Noah and Sean came to Cara's house, Noah rang the bell while Sean just stood behind him. Not long after someone opened the door. That's Cara's father."Hello, I'm Noah and this is my brother Sean, we came here to meet your daughter Cara" Noah said."Come in, she's still in her room getting ready" Her dad says and he asks Noah and Sean to come in, they sit in the living room for waiting Cara."How did you two know Cara?" Her father said."I met her on the street by accident and to be honest as a fellow Alpha you know why I'm attracted to her" Noah said."Then what about you? Why did you help her that night? Was the reason the same as him?" Her father said and Noah turned to Sean beside him."Help her? What does that mean? When did you help her? What happened to Cara?" Noah said."That--" Before Sean could answer, Cara came out of her room and approached them in the living room."Dad, why didn't you tell me they were coming" Cara said."Have you been waiting long?" Cara said.
