Maximillian's hands cupped Julian's face, his thumbs tracing the soft contours of the latter's jaw. He leaned in, their breaths mingling in an exchange of pheromones. Julian felt the heat radiating from Maximillian's body, his own heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs. Only a whisper of space separated their lips from each other. Maximillian's voice was a husky sigh against Julian's mouth. "If you don't want this, push me away." The challenge hung heavy in the air, but Julian met it head-on. "I do," he whispered, his voice thick with desire. In a single, fluid motion, he closed the distance, his lips meeting Maximillian's in a kiss that was both hesitant and hungry. ------------------ A catastrophic meteorite impact triggered the first evolution. A devastating global viral pandemic forced the second evolution. Insatiable human greed drove the third evolution. What does it feel like to play hide-and-seek with your enemy during the day, and entangle with him during the night? Julian Haas, a male omega, formerly known as Laurent Krausser, shot Atticus Bates, a male alpha responsible for his father's demise. The murder attempt failed and ended in an explosive collapse, landing Julian in a hospital. The National Bureau of Security, tasked with investigating the fiery demise of the building, brought alpha Maximillian Grant face-to-face with the enigmatic omega, the only other survivor of the tragedy. Intent on gaining a second chance for revenge, Julian started to approach Maximillian. Unable to resist Julian's seductive advances, Maximillian was soon drowning in not only the omega's intoxicating scent but also the murky secrets at the heart of the third evolution. Warning tag : NOT a slow burn romance, a lot of smut scenes
20th December 2044, Eichwald Center for Neurology and Psyche, Eichwald, Germany.
Tonight, a ferocious storm raged outside, plunging the entire district into darkness. With their power reserves precious, the staff at the hospital made the call to turn off the holiday decorations, leaving the halls dimmed for a single night.
When rounding a corner on the second floor, Mareike Holtz, a night shift nurse, felt a jolt of ice shoot through her veins. A dark, elongated shadow flitted past the periphery of her vision, slipping into a restricted area.
"Hold it right there!" she barked, adrenaline drumming in her ears. Grasping her flashlight tighter in her hands, she sprinted after the intruder.
The beam sliced through the gloom, revealing a figure cloaked in a long coat that covered him from the neck to the knees. The figure turned slowly, the harsh light momentarily washing out their features.
Mareike turned positively red when she realized who it was.
"Mr. Bates! I am deeply sorry. I did not expect you to show up so late at night, um..."
Atticus Bates, alpha, a renowned scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine ten years ago, eyed the beta nurse from head to toe. He made her feel inferior just by looking at her.
The alpha held up a metal key in his hand.
"Nurse Holtz," he slowly spoke, addressing the beta nurse by the name tag pinned to her uniform. "I have already asked Dr. Schlinger for permission to come tonight. She probably failed to inform you."
Mareike bit into her lower lip in indignation. Why would the alpha hospital director inform a low-level nurse such as her about Atticus Bates' visit?
If anything, the head nurse should know about it, but he did not bother to inform his subordinates! How infuriating.
"I am deeply sorry, Mr. Bates," Mareike apologized again. "Please carry on."
With those last words leaving her lips, Mareike turned around and fled.
Atticus Bates watched her retreating figure for a while before he scoffed to himself and headed to his destination. After a while, he arrived in front of a solitary metal door. After Atticus punched in the passcode, the metal door opened to reveal another door beneath, a wooden one. A decade of neglect caused some parts of the door to chip off, with questionable brownish handprints marring its surface.
He inserted the metal key into the rusty keyhole, the worn metal groaning in protest as it turned three times. A final, metallic click yielded, and the door creaked open, revealing a scene frozen in time.
The room was still the same as the last time he came to visit.
File cabinets lined the farthest wall from the door, riddled with countless bullet holes. Drawers hung open like slack jaws, their metallic corpses overflowing with spilled documents.
A thick wooden desk, lay sprawled on the floor like a fallen soldier. One of its legs, a splintered casualty, lay abandoned beside a toppled wastebasket. Papers carpeted the floor in a tattered tapestry. Some lay pristine, untouched by the storm. Others, ripped and muddied, bore the muddy footprints of invaders long gone and drenched in blood spilled a long time ago.
Atticus furrowed his brows as a brittle crack echoed under his foot. Peering down, he saw a shattered picture frame, its glass a spiderweb of cracks. A family portrait lay face-up within, showing a smiling elder man, his much younger wife, and a young boy with a gaping hole where his face should be.
