CHAPTER 2 - HEAT
CHAPTER 2 – HEAT
Qiang could expect many things when entering that club but seeing the red-haired boy on the stage with his nasty movements, that made his heart race faster and faster and lose his mind, was not one of them. Never in his whole life did he experience a feeling like that. Never in his life had he been so extremely attracted to someone, and that dance wasn't helping him keep his mind clear.
Who was he and why was he affecting him that way?
He did not understand why he felt so upset by seeing him dancing for other alphas that weren't himself. It affected Qiang to the point where he felt jealous of how they caressed the other boy´s body. But there was also something that he liked and made him smile, and that was the expression of wanting to chop the head off the man that was mocking him. The boy had a temper which did not make Qiang back off but encouraged him. Sex with temperamental omegas happened to be the best.
Come closer. Come closer. Come closer.
Qiang repeated those words in his head as if they were a mantra when he saw the little omega looking for a new client to approach. Fire was threatening to burst through his guts and the desire his dilated pupils emanated was almost visible.
Look at me. Redhead, look at me.
It was almost as if his prayers were listened to, the redhead´s dark eyes were staring at Xiè´s grey orbs, sending an electric shock all over his spine. The alpha´s heart sunk so hard that he thought for a second he could be having a heart attack, but when he came back to reality he saw himself intoxicatedly panting and confused at the same time.
What the hell is going on? Why am I feeling this way? Could it be that the dancer is my…?
He could not finish the sentence. Not when a delicious, sweet and exciting fragrance expanded through the place like wildfire, going up to his nostrils and knocking down his heart, making him pay all his attention to the shaky body of the smaller boy. That smell… was only for him. In all his life Qiang had never experienced something that strong with another omega, his primal instinct came to life, making him growl furiously while he felt his pants become smaller and smaller around him.
There's no doubt. That little redhead had gone into heat and just by that, he was about to make Qiang completely lose his mind.
If it wasn´t because the other one was quicker to react, Qiang would have thrown himself to him, falling for his lowest instincts and burning on desires of making him his, of diving his teeth in his neck and marking him in front of all the other alphas so they know who he belonged to. The alphas who emitted strong pheromones to attract the redhead, moved by his scent.
Xiè impotent, growled lightly as he saw the one who was causing his desperation disappeared behind the stage. Oh no, no way he was going to step aside and do nothing, not after that. He needed to go after him and make him see that running away was not his best option.
***
The redhead ran quickly through the narrow hallways. His legs were shaking and his body temperature was rising with every second. He could not keep on like this, he had to lock himself somewhere before everything went to shit. Wang´s screams, his boss, could be heard at the end of the hallway, shouting at him just like moments before and coming to get him, but Shen did not even listen to him.

"Shit! Huang Shen! Where do you think you are going? This is the last chance you have. Don’t you even dare to leave halfway through your per…"
Suddenly the man stopped talking as he noticed the unexpected change of the place´s smell. Maybe he was born a beta and he was not affected by scents in the same way but that did not mean that he was immune to all alphas and omegas´ pheromones when they were in heat. He quickly covered his nose with one hand to avoid being tortured by that sinful scent and without thinking, he grabbed the boy with his free arm and put him under his shoulders and both shut themselves in the first private room they found, locking the door right after it.
The redhead’s knees stopped holding him and his body slid like butter on the beta til heavily falling down to the floor. He tried to drag, stretch out to the drawer that every private room have where they keep the emergency suppressive injections to end his damn torture, but a wave of heat shook his guts, forcing him to writhe in desperation, covered in sweat despite only wearing a slight thong.
"S-s-shit".
He was not even capable of formulating a f*cking word without gasping, moaning or stuttering. And the worst of all, he was doing all that in front of his boss. Now he won’t hesitate to fire him.
“F*ck, Huang…” the tallest one articulated with a thin voice. It wasn’t an easy situation for him either.
The redhead looked at him with pleading eyes, whining with the most painful and stifling burning heat. It felt like dying. He desperately needed to merge with someone, to ease his heat and stop suffering.
“P-please…” Huang Shen begged with tears in his eyes. It has been many years since his heat went out of control, and he didn’t remember it to be so suffocating “T-touch me”
The beta opened his eyes with fright and surprise. Having the redhead lying on his feet in that deplorable situation was strange, external, so different to the stubborn and angry omega he was used to see, even that new image was unpleasant to him, despite the attraction caused by the smell.
“Wang…” he called before a new wave of heat forced him to bend over himself, making him sob with agony.
The brunette apprehended himself, no matter how Shen bothered him he couldn’t stay there astonished, watching him suffer. Quickly he went beside the redhead and got close to the small table that was next to the sofa to grab the injection shape suppressor. With shaky hands he took one and prepared to inject it.
He had never done it, but the redhead didn’t seem to be able to do it himself.
He bent contrary to the body and took him below his shoulders to incorporate and lean him against the wall so he would be able to prick him better. The simple touch from the beta made the omega burn from inside, he couldn’t avoid moaning higher. Wang swallowed hard and tried to ignore the visual, auditive and olfactive incitements that were reaching to him, but it wasn’t easy and now he was shuddering a little more.
Shit, he has to do it now.
He grabbed the arm and placed the needle in position, he didn’t doubt to bury it in the minor’s skin, squeezing the embolus and emptying the artificial alpha hormones shot that Huang Shen needed.
The reaction was immediate and the redhead’s body suddenly calmed down, giving back the control of his impulses.
“Haah… haah…” He panted, now exhausted from the physical suffering, but much more relieved.
Huang Shen’s boss threw the syringe to the floor and sat next to him, leaning his head on the wall. He sighed calmly after noticing that all those pheromones were vanished.
“Are you fine?” He asked with genuine worry, since he knew those kinds of suppressives and the side effects that could have on omegas.
He nodded a few times, then leaned his head on the wall. Actually those minutes of pure agony left him exhausted, without strength to even think about what just happened, what he asked Wang to do…
Suddenly, a terrible headache struck him and made him lean his body forward and bury his face between his knees.
The older one wasn’t surprised, he was waiting for that reaction, cause it wasn’t the first time that he had to experience it. But it wasn’t like that to Huang Shen, he knew the effects, but he never took immediate suppresives and he didn’t imagine it would be so intense. A pitiful moan escaped from his thin lips and the sweat came back to his skin, along with terrible dizziness and nausea.
"Ugh..."
Once again Shen started to gasp violently, in a desperate try to soothe these horrible side effects. He felt his stomach shrink and he took his hands on it to avoid throwing up. Luckily he didn’t do it, but still it hurt and in order to make him feel better, he lied down on his side.
Never in his 22 years of life he hated that much of being an omega like that night.
Pyting him, the beta incorporated to try to lift him up from the frozen floor, which probably wouldn’t make the state he was in feel better.
“D-don’t, don’t… don’t lift me up” he whined, cause if he did that, this time he would throw up.
“You can’t stay there naked, you’ll get worse”
He grabbed him from his shoulders again and this time more carefully he got him sat down, but in doing so, he rubbed his skin, he noticed his body went back to bearing high temperatures. However, his teeth started to chatter. Great, now he had a fever.
The tallest one took the jacket he was wearing off and covered the omega’s back, hoping it would be of use. Huang Shen hated people who looked at him with pity or helped him due to sorrow, but he felt so weak that he didn’t even get upset. His stomach shrunk violently again and a sudden retching forced him to bend on himself and he ended up throwing up followed by shivers and a constant hammering on his head.
Wang wasn’t shocked, but he couldn’t avoid feeling sorry for him. He never imagined having to worry about the omega that caused him so much trouble in the past, the situation was surreal indeed. Once again he sat next to him and waited for him to empty his stomach to go back lying him against the wall.
“Huang Shen, what happened? Your heat is usually quite stable…”
That was true. He knew very few omegas whose heat was as noticeable as the redhead’s, especially working in a place like that, so full of alphas pheromones, so seeing him in those circumstances was quite strange.
The dancer didn’t answer, instead he softly groaned in pain. His body was still shivering, and unconsciously let his head slide down until it lay on his boss ’shoulders. Wang didn’t get upset and he kept still in order to bother him the slightest possible, anyways, those side effects usually don’t last longer than twenty minutes, so it wouldn't be long until he recovered.
Suddenly, he heard someone’ steps stopping right at the front of the door, this triggered all the brunette’s alarms. Whoever that guy was in the hallway, he was trying to get in by getting the handle down. He failed and the stranger knocked the wooden door with persistence.
Wang got tense, unable to figure out who that guy was. He thought of one of his omegas, but didn’t seem like that. He hadn’t seen him, but the presence on the other side seems to be more threatening. Probably he could be an alpha, some client driven crazy by Shen’ smell who avoided the guards and achieved to get in. If this is so, then they had nothing to worry about, they would get him soon…
This individual's scent behind the door went through the slit, reaching Huang Shen’s nose, shaking his insides and leaving him very clear who that mysterious person was.
To the beta’ surprise, the redhead’s body turned rigid and shook with more intensity.
“Huang Shen?” he called worried and not understanding what could have altered him that much, until something in his head clicked: if Shen’s heat was always stable, maybe someone provoked it. And maybe that person… was the stranger behind the door.
