Dominic leaned against the doorframe of the Design Office, watching his supposedly destined mate immersed in their work, paying no attention to their surroundings. The presence of the alpha was so intimidating that almost everyone realized that he was there except who should.

-President- one of the other employees exclaimed and the rest of them stopped doing their tasks and got up from their seats nervously. Aidan just looked up from the screen and frowned.

The alpha took advantage of his attention and called him moving his index finger, an action that made him close his eyes and sigh. Aidan got up from the table clenching his fists and gaining as much patience as possible, he didn't want

to be next to that man, not now.

–Keep working– he ordered before leaving the office behind him.

Dominic stopped a few meters from the elevator and turned with his bearing several inches taller than her.

-It seems to me that the President in this place is me- he saw him raise an eyebrow- I don't like that they don't obey me when I give an order-

-And I sent you an answer, you gave us a time limit for carrying out the project, a project that mostly changed- 

Like him, he kept a firm posture and did not raise his voice, he seemed calm and used to dealing with demanding bosses like him. Aidan was hard to break. Maybe a little pressure would fix that. Dominic thought as he watched her rosy lips naturally move as he spoke. They would be better off somewhere lower, moving at his beck and call.

-For less than that I can fire you or demote you from your rank, a disrespect to your superior is paid high- the color of Dominic's eyes darkened.

Aidan didn't seem fazed by her words, blinking slowly and taking a deep breath to show an expression that hid all the anger he could contain at the threat.

-You can do it- that surprised him- But the person who knows the most about this project and how to take it to the end successfully is me, if you want you can confirm it. But if he wants to fire me he can do it- he smiled- I won't resist- he challenged him.

Dominic narrowed his eyes. His attitude, surely, had led him to where he was, an intelligent and self-confident young man. There were few left, he didn't look like an omega, maybe in his physique he did. He was smaller than the other men in the company, even those around his age, and how delicate his appearance was. He was just the right size to lie beneath a more masculine body moaning deliciously. But…poor anyone who wanted to pass him off as submissive, he didn't seem to have a single bit of that.

-Director Miller- a young employee from the editorial area ran up to him.

They both watched him stop in front of them without noticing their conversation.

-I'm glad I found it, we need the supplies for the second part of the pamphlets-

-I'll send them to you in a moment-

-Oh, thanks- the boy smiled and literally ate him with his eyes, something that did not go unnoticed by Dominic who began to unconsciously expel pheromones to repel him, annoyed by the beta's attributions and not having greeted him properly, who only felt the thick atmosphere around his boss.

–If you'll excuse me– he said, seeing that he was no longer welcome in the conversation, and left with the same speed.

Dominic felt better knowing that he had dismissed the threat

–Could you stop doing that– Aidan's voice came out shaky.

Dominic turned to the younger and did not like the image in front of him. The young man had a hand on his face covering his nose and his wrinkled face.

–Are you okay?– He tried to touch him but he just backed away putting more distance.

-Your pheromones, it hurts when I feel them- he articulated with difficulty -Get away please-

That fact again seemed suspicious to the alpha.

–How can you feel my pheromones if you're a beta?– That was a quality of only other alphas and omegas, pheromones didn't affect betas unless they were very intense, but not in the way that Aidan seemed to perceive them.

-I've been very sensitive since I was a child, despite being a beta, I can perceive them slightly, but yours are more intense- Dominic tried to get closer again but Aidan increased the distance -Don't get closer-

–Okay– he joined, seeing the rejection by the beta who held onto the wall behind his body. –There's something you're hiding from me, Aidan Miller, and I'm going to find out.–

The young man shook his head trying to dissipate the discomfort achieving results.

-What is your interest in me? - He seemed tired of her insistence- We barely know each other, I don't owe you anything, I just want to work and be calm-

–I already mentioned it to you, you are my omega, my destined partner– Dominic stressed.

Again with the same thing. Aidan sighed and sat up, managing to steady himself.

-I will make it very clear, President, I am not interested in your money, I earn enough to be happy and I am satisfied with that. Besides, I am engaged and I don't think I will break the engagement for words that have no basis. I don't react to you because I'm not omega, I don't get in heat because I'm not omega, I don't accept you as my mate because I'm not omega-

He paused to breathe and study the alpha's reaction.

-It is clear? Now if you'll excuse me I've wasted several minutes that I'll have to take off from my break time, if you don't want to talk to me about work issues please just keep your distance, I don't want more problems than I have-

Aidan didn't let him answer, he turned back to the office leaving him with the word in his mouth, and not knowing what to say.

-Sir- Leo called to his back. He had kept his distance when he noticed the thick atmosphere

–Did you see how that boy talked to me?– He seemed more indignant than upset.

His secretary only kept silent, hiding the laughter he contained when seeing someone who put Dominic in his place, in addition to his parents.

-Sir, I think what I found will seem interesting to you, it's about what you sent me to investigate-

-I hope so- he took the papers and returned to his office still remembering the words of that beta-omega, he no longer knew what it was.

Aidan waved good-bye to the custodian, stretching out his arms as he felt the night breeze on his face. Another day leaving work late, not to change, only with the difference that his boyfriend was waiting for him at the entrance with his car. Apparently he was smelling something he didn't like and by the way, it didn't exist. He had already found out about his new boss.

–Hans– he called as he walked towards him.

-Precious, today I came to look for you- typical of someone jealous but I wouldn't argue with him, since he was there I would take advantage of the ride.

From the window Dominic watched the scene and scratched the glass with his neat fingernails. Despite the fact that he had told herself a thousand times that he would not insist on him, it was impossible to ignore that Aidan was destined to be hers and that he was next to another man activated all her possessive alpha senses.

-Don't worry Aidan Miller, now I can assure you that soon you will be mine- his eyes turned an intense green- My omega-
