Into him. I shook my head, trying to clear it. “What’s going on?” “You tell me,” he said, his voice a low rumble. “The moment I touched you, your scent changed. It’s… different. Unstable. A Beta’s scent doesn’t do that.” He was so close now. I could see the flecks of darker gray in his eyes. See the tight line of his mouth. My own breath was coming too fast. That strange heat was spreading, making my skin feel sensitive, tingling. A faint, new scent started to rise from my own skin—something clean and sharp, like frost and ozone. I’d never smelled it before.

<3 By the time he hit send, his cigarette was nearly spent but for one more drag. He crushed the butt out in the ashtray and was sure to flick it out into the street. Tony smoked Marlboro Reds after all, so it would be a stupid thing to do to leave his butts in the ashtray that only Tony was known to use. Before he went in, he splashed on some of his Old Spice and put a Listerine mint breath strip on his tongue to dissolve. While it did, he looked out into the rain with wonder. The Tramadol in his system gave life such a warm, happy edge. In a weird way, he felt invincible and ready to take on the day.

he asked, holding the tin out for me. It smelled like peppermint. I did want one but wasn't sure how I would react to it. Best not to puke on my first day. "I'm good." One thing I did notice was the strong peppermint scent blocked out a lot of the smell of blood. I'd have to remember that. Maybe I could wear a peppermint necklace to block the scent of blood.

Then scorched earth crashed in. Rex's pheromones hunted out from the corridor, barreling through the space between lily-of-the-valley and old paper. The char of wildfire. The bitterness of pine resin. The crack of superheated stone. It didn't probe. Didn't entwine. It swallowed. Old paper held its ground. Scorched earth wouldn't pull back. The three scents twisted into a garrote in the air, cinching around my throat, tighter with every breath. Every inhalation I took was laced with three flavors. The acrid dryness of cold paper. The choking burn of wildfire. The feral sweetness of lily-of-the-valley run amok. They fought inside my lungs.

I am surprised how I manage to keep talking when all my mouth wants to do is taste his lips.

The sound of my ragged breathing became the only sound that kept me company. With the sky void of moon or stars, I could see nothing but black. My eyes didn’t adjust to the darkness yet. My brain felt dizzy, and I breathed through my nose, trying to regain control of my numb body. The cold breeze brushing through my face carried a sweet pungent odor that’s fresh and sharp–a scent I recognized so well. It’s the storm scent just before the rain. The wind picked up, and I had to hurry. My lungs screamed in pain with each breath. Breathing through my mouth, I lay there for another moment analyzing the extent of my injuries.

Today, I'll help him. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Morning slowly creeps into the apartment with a ray of sunlight. The air smells like seawater and coal, the smell of surrounding factories. I stand in front of our shattered mirror nailed to the wall. My reflection looks back at me,blonde hair, and full face. I reach for the roll of medical grade scent blockers on the table and a can of tier 1 scent dampener. Where Ethan gets this stuff from, I don't know, but I'm grateful for them.

There must be… there must be…” “I can't speak, I can't inhale, I can't think clearly. It suffocates me, my vision turns dim and a buzzing cuts through my eardrums viciously.
