Chapter. 31

Tommy..When morning came with its light, Gerard had woken up. I stayed still, pretending to sleep, even when my body itched to move.He leaned in, close enough for his scent to curl into my nostrils. My heart thudded, and my lips almost twitched. But I kept my eyes shut and held my breath He stared at me for a while, and then he smiled, like he had caught me. “I won’t be around today, I have some business to take care off.”Still didn’t respond.Immediately I heard the door shut, I jerked out of the bed. I snatched my phone from the study table and sank into the chair.My thumb flying across the screen, I typed in the browser. How do you know if you’re catching feelings for someone?I bit my thumbnails, watching the different sites unfold.You’d like the way they smelled. You’d always want to be in their presence. You’d like to know more about them.Every answer felt annoyingly familiar. My chest tightened, and I could barely recognize the thuds my heart made.I shook my head. And

Chapter 32

Tommy..Raphael pulled away, an unnerving smile burning on his lips.And I could only wonder what the fuck was going on in his head.Raphael scrubbed his lips with the back of his palm. “I only did that because it would make the post more genuine,” he said, his voice low like he was hiding something.“We didn’t have to go that far,” I said, trying to sound casual. “Holding hands was just enough.”As we drove back home, I could still feel his lips on mine. It made my stomach turn like I could throw up any moment from now.Back at the house, I began working again, sifting through business proposals. My mind kept wandering back to Gerard. Where had he gone? What was he doing?My body was still simmering from the rut/heat, so I took some more inhibitors and resumed work.While trying to concentrate on work before me and not on Gerard’s whereabouts, my phone rang.It was Liam. Seeing the name alone made my lips twitch. A part of me knew he was calling to know about my whereabouts.I shou

Chapter 33

Tommy..Frozen, I stared at him like a glitch had occurred in my brain. Gerard shut the door, and the clink of the lock echoed in my head, making my heart thump even more.Memories of my first rut with him flooded my mind. How his cock felt against mine. Although I had told myself that night was a mistake and would never happen again, my body tightened with anticipation.“I don’t need your help,” I said, “I can handle it.” My tone quivered like I didn't even believe it.Gerard took another step forward, his body almost brushing mine. “Why do that when I can help you?”Trying to stop his body warmth from sneaking into me, I took a step back.But he came forward.I went back again. He came forward again.We went like that until back hit the wall. About to slither away, when his hands came up on either of me, palm hitting the wall.Something about his gaze made my stomach dip.As though I wanted to be swallowed, I pressed deeper into the wall. I cleared my throat. “Friends don’t tou

Chapter 34

Tommy..The knock came again, Gerard and I were still frozen. Breathing in the same heavy air, neither of us uttered a word.Raphael’s voice tore through the silence. “Tommy, is Gerard there?”My stomach dipped, my widened gaze jumping between the door and Gerard.“No,” I said before Gerard could say anything. “He’s not.”Another beat of silence, and then Raphael’s voice came again, through the door’s cracks. “I don’t believe you.”My body tightened.Gerard kept still, his body still close to mine, his breath still tangling with mine.“Open up, let me see for myself.” He added.My stomach dipped even further. “I said he’s not here. You can check his room, or check his lab.” My throat tightened. “Why on earth would he be in my room?”“Don’t think you’re explaining too much?” Gerard whispered.“Easy for you to say,” I whispered back. “You’re not the one who has to talk.”“Then why can’t you open up?” Raphael asked, his tone still unyielding.My chest tightened. My mind glitched. I di

Chapter 35

Gerard..The three days had elapsed. After we—Tommy, Raphael, and I—arrived at the LAX airport, we all went our separate ways.After his checkup this money, I should’ve felt relieved. His vitals were normal. His body was reacting normally and perfectly with the omega drug.There were no traces of tampering. No sign of foreign chemicals. Nothing pointed to Dr. Foxen doing anything to him.And that was the problem. If Dr. Foxen wasn’t doing anything, why's he so bent on treating Tommy?My grip on the steering tightened as I drove through Wilshire Boulevard.Almost reaching my company, when my phone rang. My eyes steered towards my phone in the passenger’s seat. Seeing it was Laura, I reached for it and answered.“Tell me you found something on Foxen?” Laura sighed. “Nope. Nothing,” she said, “he’s been living on the low. The only thing I found was, he has been treating leaders of Cartels.”I paused, listening.“But that’s in Mexico. He can't be arrested here for a crime he committed

Chapter 36

Gerard..I turned to the doorknob, and we stepped in. The floor creaked beneath our feet as we strode into the living room.Foxen swept his gaze across the living room, his eyes lingering on the furniture for a moment before moving on to the next. “This isn’t your place, is it?”“Why do you say so?” I asked.“I mean, the furniture looked like it was picked up from a dumpster,” he said, “even if it’s a hideout, you could have gotten new furniture.”I just smiled—a stiff one. “Let's go to the kitchen for a drink,” I said, my shoulders tightening.That was the only goal on my mind. To get him to the kitchen.When we stepped into the kitchen, Foxen froze, his eyes bulging out like it was about to pop out of his socket.His lips parted, but only silence threaded out. His eyes jumped between me and the body.“Floyd.” He gasped.“Seems like you know each other?” I asked.“Not really,” he said, “we worked together for barely a week before he dropped out of the program.” He narrowed his gaze

Chapter 37

GERARD..My throat bobbed, but I schooled my expression, trying not to flinch as I stared at the picture.“No,” I said, “should I?”Edwin slipped his photo back into the wallet. “CCTV showed you driving in and leaving near Dr. Floyd’s place.”A beat of silence hung in the air. “And which area would that be?” Then I spoke, my tongue moving slowly, each word measured. “I drove through a lot of areas.” Edwin scoffed. “I forgot, I was dealing with a Dominant Alpha—a genius at that matter.”My skin tightened.“But you were at SA street today, weren’t you?” He clasped his hand before him.“Yeah, I drove through the street,” I answered.“What took you there?” He asked. “Or where were you coming from or going to?”My chest instantly tightened, and my pulse hammered into my ears. I scrambled through my mind as quickly as I could, but couldn’t find the perfect lie.“Personal issues,” I said, my expression still calm. “Is there any footage of me at his door?”Edwin didn’t answer. And that

Chapter 38

Tommy..My father’s study always had this cold smell. It had it when I was nine years old, when I understood what it meant to be summoned here. It had it when I was ten years old, when he brought Liam home and told me he was a replacement. It also had it now.I sat on the visitor chair, my back never really pressing into the backrest. My father paced behind me, the soft thumps of his shoes bouncing off the walls. He stopped before the wine shelf and took out a bottle of rum and a glass.He dropped them with a calmness before me. Ice clinked as he dropped them into glass, followed by the splash of the brown liquid slapping against the ice.My father glided the cup towards. “Drink.”My stomach rolled. I hated alcohol, and most especially this brand of rum. The way it burned down my stomach, and the oaky scent that made my lungs shrivel.But refusing anything from him was worse. I curled my finger around its round body and brought it to my lips. The pungent oaky hit my nostrils,

Chapter 39

Tommy..Morning came faster than expected. Eleven hours left to give my father an answer. But my mind felt as slow and hollow as my body.I had thought sleep would cool my head, or at least escape the raging thoughts. Except the thoughts found me anyway.They slipped into my dreams, twisting into shapes I never wanted to see, making my throat taste stale.I pushed the blanket off. And that’s when I saw it. A small purplish hue on my lower arm, almost like blood had pooled there overnight.My chest tightened. But I didn’t worry much about it. This wasn’t the first time, but I just hadn’t seen it for a while.Swallowing, I brushed my thumb over it. There was no pain, just a little soreness. Probably pinched myself in my sleep.My throat felt parched. I dragged myself out of bed and headed downstairs to drink water. That’s when the aroma of fresh pancakes hit my nostrils.My stomach growled in response, and I hurried towards the kitchen.Liam stood by the gas, flipping the pancake be

Chapter 40

Tommy..Gerard sat there, the red light spilling over his facial features. My heart lurched—that annoying half-throb and half-flutter. I tapped my chest. Stop that, I told myself. But it didn’t.I stepped in fully and shut the door behind me. I lowered myself into the seat across from him, my body becoming too aware of itself.My heart thumped too loudly as our eyes locked. But I held his gaze. I had to, couldn’t afford looking away like I was some shy omega. “Except someone kidnapped you and tied you to a chair, there’s no reason why you didn’t read my text,” I said, leaning a little forward.A soft, slick smile touched his lips, affecting me in a way it shouldn’t.“Someone missed me.” His full lips clamped across the edge of the glass as he took a sip of his drink.A small twinge of recognition hit my chest, making it knot.I frowned, trying to mask how my face flushed hot. “Are you already drunk?” A tremor still ran through my voice even though I bolstered it. “Something is ha
