Chapter 5

The first day of Cara's heat cycle

Only 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?" Gemma said.

"Machiato, please" Noah said.

"Did you come to look for Cara?" Gemma said.

"Cara?"

"Yes, there are only two waiterss here, me and her"

"Ah her name is Cara, where is she now?" Noah said.

"She's off today, if you come just to meet her, you have to wait another 6 days"

"Why? Was she off that long?"

"You won't know because you're not her"

"Ohh, you mean she didn't come in because she was in a heat cycle?" Noah said and Gemma gave Noah her order.

"Yeah, so don't come if she's the only one you're looking for" Gemma said.

"You're a Beta, right? You know who you're dealing with, right?" Noah said.

"I've been dating an Alpha for two years, I know you're in a pack, if you do bad things to me, won't that embarrass your pack?" Gemma said.

"Weird, I've never met people like you two" Noah took his coffee and left.

No one can talk like that to an Alpha, Beta and Omega have a level below Alpha, where they have to obey more to the words of an Alpha. Although not many of them have the attitude of Cara and Gemma.

At that age, Noah should have been able to work at his father's company like his brother Sean, who had already worked there. He was indeed different from his brother. For him at the age of 23 it's time to have fun, he's an Alpha and doesn't have to worry about work, because that's something he can definitely have easily.

"I'm home" Noah says, he walks in and his mother walks up to him.

"Where are you from? How come you're out this early in the morning?" her mother said.

"Buy coffee" Noah raised the coffee cup in his hand and passed his mother.

"Noah, sit down first, I want to talk to you" his mother said.

"About what? If you wants to discuss about work, I already said it that I will work when I'm 25 years old, that's only 2 years left"

"Noah, don't you want to be like Sean? Look, he can already buy his own apartment from his hard work, he has his own car even though he is only 25 years old"

"Mom, I'm not Sean, okay? If you keep comparing me to him, you'll only be disappointed. Because I can't be like him, I was born a Fighter, not a Hyper like him" Noah left his mother and entered his room.

That's what Noah hates about his life, he always feels compared to his brother, Sean. Life is not fair to him, but he believes he can still change his fate.

Time flies quickly, night has come. Noah, his mother and father are having dinner together at the dining table. Sean went home to his apartment that night, Noah just hoping to be able to eat peacefully without any discussion like this morning.

But his wish was not granted, his father suddenly asked the same thing that his mother asked before.

"So when will you join my company?" His father said, as soon as those words made Noah speechless, he turned towards his father who was sitting in front of him.

"Dad, I told you, I will work at 25"

"But why? What's the reason? Sean started working at the age of 20 and--"

"Dad.." his parents turned to him.

"Stop comparing me to him, how many times do I have to tell you two that I'm not Sean. We're different. I'm just a Fighter"

"What's the difference between you and him? You and him, you two are my sons, I'm a Wiser, Noah, I shouldn't be leading this pack, I should be giving it to Sean. But he won't do it, he's only an Alpha, we're only Alpha, I asked you to work so you can show your power, the same power that Sean has, I'm getting old Noah, my son has to join my company before I die, don't you want to be like him? You can get what you want"

"I'm sorry dad, I'm just a little sensitive when discussing this matter, but I'm not ready for that" Noah said.

"Why? Have you found your mate yet?" His mother said.

"Mom, I met a girl, her scent caught my attention, but I don't know if she is my mate or not because we only talked for a while" Noah said.

"So because of this you don't want to join my company?" his father said.

"No dad, I have decided to work at the age of 25"

"Bring the girl here, let me meet her" His father said.

"Dad.. I don't think she's an ordinary Omega"

"What do you mean?"

"I think she's a Bold" Her mother widened her eyes and she turned to her husband.

It turned out that the Alphas could easily judge Cara's attitude, which meant that many Alphas would realize who she really was.
