The omega doctor seemed to see nothing wrong with what he said and continued checking my pulse. "I will prescribe some nutrients and also give you guidelines to help you pass through this period alongside the help of your alpha." He explained. My cheeks seemed to burn. I couldn't even raise my head to look at Sterly anymore, and I wondered what he must be thinking, too. The omega doctor was so bold about it, probably thinking there was nothing wrong about it since we were couples, but... he was wrong. We were only fake couples...But how could I let him understand that?The room thickened with tension as the omega doctor talked alone. He didn't seem to pay attention to our unusual quietness. "Now, I will be taking my leave. You can get discharged when you are done with this trip." He announced and dropped the injections he was holding, seemingly ready to leave. It was at this moment that Sterly cleared his throat. "Doctor," He called. The doctor turned around and looked at him

JAREDSterly dropped me in bed and tried to stand, but my arms curled around his neck, pulling him back. "Where are you going?" I asked weakly. My throat was parched, but only I knew I didn't need to drink water. I wanted something else, and it seemed only Sterly could grant the wish. My arms tightened around his neck, and our noses were barely a few inches away from each other. His heterochromatic eyes flickered, and I felt his breathing quicken. He closed his eyes, but his jaw trembled. "I want to prepare your bath." He mumbled. "A bath?" I asked in a daze. "Why do I need a bath?" My lips pursed. Did he not like my scent? Was that why he wanted me to take a bath?I blinked, trying to push down the displeasure blooming in my chest. "I don't want a bath," I spoke out. Sterly opened his eyes, and confusion was clearly shown in them. "You don't want a bath? But you complained about discomfort earlier in the car." He breathed out. His eyes were searching mine. My lips tightene

JARED"Mark... mark you?" Sterly stuttered. The corner of his eyes reddened, and he looked flustered. He stepped backward and shook his head. "I'm sorry, Jared. But..." I waved my hand before his face. "You've misunderstood," I said, my tone a bit high. I was annoyed. Even though I knew I was being unreasonable but I couldn't help it. "I wouldn't want to be marked permanently, either. What I want from you is temporary marking." I explained. Only then did Sterly breathe in relief. He stepped closer, and his face turned slightly red. "I overreacted. Sorry." He muttered. I shrugged, acting like I didn't feel anything. However, my chest tightened. Was he that unwilling to mark me?I shook my head. It wasn't like I would want to be marked either. Sterly's lips parted, and his brows furrowed. A frown formed on my face. "What's it?" What happened again?Sterly sighed. "Temporary marking isn't that good either." He explained, his eyes showed a bit of concern. "It might affect the sta

STERLY The drive down to the office was silent, but my mind was anything but that. For the past 6 years, I've learned to be in control of my actions and words. I'd stopped laughing, stopped talking to others, and loved to work to keep my days active. But something was going wrong. My self-control seemed to weaken every day, and the variable was the little omega I married as a substitute for Nate. It wasn't supposed to be that way. I wasn't supposed to lose so much control... I didn't teach myself that way. But things weren't going as planned. Like today, even though I knew I wasn't supposed to mark him, I still went ahead to do it. My heart screamed. My reasoning stopped me, but somehow, I found myself biting into him, unable to stop myself. I knew the consequence. Marking him, even though temporarily, was something I shouldn't have done. It would make me want to protect him at

JAREDAt noon, Stephen, Cindy, and I went to the school's restaurant together. Under the hot afternoon sun, my body felt a bit uncomfortable, but fortunately, my scent didn't leak due to the cedarwood scent that clung to me. We sat together, laughing and chatting. "I will go and bring our food," Stephen suggested as he stood up and left. Cindy also stood up. "He can't carry them all. I will go with him." She said, waved, and ran after him. I watched the two leave with a smile on my face, but the rare silence was soon disrupted by the ringing from my phone. Bringing out the phone from my pocket, I checked and realized it was Sterly...A smile formed on my lips. Was he thinking about me?My cheeks lightly reddened as I answered the call and placed the phone to my ear. "Mr Sterly," I called cheerfully. I heard the sound of the door closing at the other end of the call, followed by footsteps. "How is school?" Sterly asked softly. My smile widened. "It's fine. Everything is going w
