5 4: Partner..finally?

Third year of college for Gulf began with full force, but he was not pardoned from his job in the company. Because of the accumulated stress, his heat cycle changed and now he not only had to take double dose of the suppressor but also check in with the doctor every week to assess the situation

At the next appointment Gulf was in for incredible news

"How have you being feeling?" The doctor asked

"Not that good!!, I feel that I cannot control myself at times"

"What do you feel?"

"Suffocated, like I have difficulty breathing, I get goosebumps all over but at the same time I get a warm feeling inside, like comfort...."

The doctor listened to Gulf for minutes and when Gulf finished he asked

"Who is the person nearest to you when you feel like this" Gulf's thoughts immediately went to Mew. He has been working from Mew's office for the past two weeks and he just couldn't help himself

"ummm... how does that relate" Gulf asked seriously

"That person is likely your bond" the doctor said cautiously "His pheromones are what's distracting you" the doctor need not say more, Gulf knew what the doctor was going to say next but Gulf didn't want to listen.

He hated alphas and that was the end of it. No negotiations needed.

"Please, just prescribe me the next months dose" Gulf hurried

"If you don't take care of this now, later even the inhibitors will not be of any help, you need to at least tell him" the doctor pleaded with him, he had seen enough cases and was not willing to let anymore to be sacrifices to their lust for pheromones.

"I know what to do" Gulf said as he headed to the pharmacy to grab his suppressants.

Back at the office, Mild and Mew were discussing business.

"Boss, between me and you, is that boy your bond" Mild asked cautiously

"No he is not," Mew said angrily

"Then why do you..."

"He is my fuvking soulmate" Mew bursting out in rage, leaving Mild speechless.

After Mew settled down Mild spoke slowly

"Does he know?"

"No, I don't have to tell him, I am sure he knows" Mew said "But I don't like him, I'll find my own partner, fate is not the one that will assign my partner to me"

Mild knew how much Mew hated the word fate, destiny, soulmates..... he didn't bring up the topic again

As the days went by Gulf increased his suppressant intake, he even switched to inhibitor but the effect was slowly and gradually wearing off. He had to do something but he didn't know what. Even if he had to kill himself he would never ask an alpha for help.....

As the period of heat went by, Gulf was now calm and collected. Team called over his friends to his house saying that he wanted to announce something important. He did say it was a happy announcement, so as encouragement Gulf took a small gift for Team. He knew how much Team suffered and that it took him very long to get over his trauma, so today has to be something good.

Gulf knocked on the door and a bubbly energetic Team opened the door and threw himself into Gulf's open arms

"Gulfieeeeeeeee" Team screamed "I missed you so much"

"I miss you to Team" Gulf hugged back, his Team was back, thankfully

"Come in, come in, the gang is waiting" He led Gulf in and sat him on the sofa that was surrounded by his best friends.

"So what do you want to tell us" Champ started sipping his drink

"You'll have to wait, they didn't arrive yet" Team smiled and then blushed

"They??" Aom asked

"Wait and watch" Team teased the boys as they talked about their college lives

Before the bell could even ring, Gulfs' nose twitched, a sweet and subtle, familiar scent entered his nose. He remained seated.

Team went to open the door and welcomed the guests. Gulf didn't have to get up to know who was at the door, at least he knew one of the three guys that entered.

When he looked up, he knew he was a lost case....anyone but him Team, anyone....

Mew, Mild and the doctor strolled in and got seated

"I invited my friends over as well, since you said you will invite yours" the doctor said

"The more the merrier, darling" Team said hugging the doctor

"What?" Gulf, Champ and Aom screamed in unison. Team was beet red.

"Actually, Tay was my fated mate, and we recently bonded" Team said hiding his face into Tay, the doctors' shoulder

"Are you serious?" Gulf asked

"Ummhmmm" Team said showing off his bite mark

"Congratulations" Gulf said getting up from the chair and pulling Team into a huge hug "You deserve all the best in this world"

Champ and Aom also hugged Team and it somehow turned into a hugging party.

Food was served and everyone made small talks. The seating arrangement was so that Team sat at the head of the table while Tay, Mild and Mew sat on the left and Aom, Champ and Gulf sat on the right.

Gulf was visibly nervous sitting in front of Mew, so he got up and headed to the kitchen with the excuse of getting ice-cubes even though they were right there on the table... but no one questioned him.

Spending minutes in the kitchen calming down he headed back at the table and continued eating.... After the dishes were cleaned, the drinking session started. Since Gulf never drank he just sat by his friends and enjoyed the time with them. They played the bottle spinning game, Russian roulette and many more. Finally the Kings order game started. These drunk fanatics would definitely make their friend do stupid things, Gulf tried to escape but he failed.

Aom got the king in the beginning.

"Number 3 and 7 kiss"

"Kiss, kiss, kiss" everyone screamed as Tay and Team locked lips for minutes before Aom separated them

The game continued on for several rounds, some of the orders were to strip, so half of his friends were in boxers whereas the elders except Mew had lipstick marks over them

Team became the king now

"Number 4 and 5, kiss" what was up with these boys and kissing, at least he didn't indulge in this

"Not me" Aom, Champ and Mild said

Gulf opened his paper and their it was the number 4

"Who is number 5" Team asked the boys

"It's Mew" a drunk Mild said

"What are you waiting for, kiss now, its the kings' order" Team screamed a drunk scream

Gulf, you can do this, its only a game... Gulf reasoned with himself, its just a kiss

Neither of the two were drunk so they would definitely remember this tomorrow.....

"Are you chickening out on us? " Champ challenged Gulf

"Hell no" Gulf said as he got up from his space and directly sat on Mews' lap and locked lips for no more than 5 seconds and then walked back to his place ....

Mew was stunned in his place and sat like a lost soul

"There I did it" Gulf said as he wiped his lips like he was removing dirt. Minutes later Gulf started getting hotter by the moment and he excused to go to the toilet. Once he had washed his face, he came out, only to be pulled by Mew at one corner.

"Take your inhibitor now" Mew ordered "your pheromones are driving the alphas crazy"

"I already did, I took double the dose" Gulf retorted, triple dose would harm Gulf's health, he wouldn't risk it

"No choice then" Mew said as he locked lips with Gulf.....

At that moment it felt like there were only the two of them in this world. Two pairs of lips were sucking at each other, Mew deepened it by biting Gulf's lower lips, to which Gulf responded by opening his mouth and Mew gained access to it.

Gulf was unable to comprehend what was going on but all he knew what that he felt elated the most. As Mew continued the kiss, Gulf was losing himself considerably...... Mew moved from Gulfs' mouth to his chin and then to his ear and nibbled on it

"This will never happen again" Mew said as he bit hard on to Gulf's ear bringing him back to reality. As Mew headed back to the room, Gulf plopped down to the floor.

No one would notice anything even if he went to the room now because they were all drunk.

After calming himself down he got up and patted his clothes and headed to the room....

He had never felt this way.. so this was what soulmates felt... it was not bad. But since he hated alphas and his soulmate wasn't ready to be with him he was at an advantage. It could work both ways for the both of them..... there would be no lingering attachment.

The night came to an end and the boys decided to stay over at Team's house to which he didn't mind, Gulf on the other hand excused and left the house. He couldn't dare stay in that room. Now that he had come in contact with the pheromones, he craved more but he hated the owner of the pheromones, so he decided to stay clear

Mew had trouble concentrating at work as he had placed Gulf in his office. Gulf's pheromones would go crazy every now and then and Mew couldn't control himself, but he swore never to give into destiny and he planned to stay true to it

Gulf on the other hand was unaware of it. Every time he locked eyes with Mew, he unconsciously eluded pheromones to attract his other half.

The month was coming to end and Gulf was running out on his suppressants he needed them as he knew his heat was close. Gulf put a reminder that he would go and buy them in the evening as he was busy now. Evening came and night fell and Gulf forgot about it and by the time he remembered he was already home and he had to prepare for tomorrows' classes..... he can alway buy them tomorrow

After classes he headed to the company for his work. After he was done, he prepared to leave but was stopped by Mild....

"Are you done?"

"Yes" Gulf answered

"Good, come with me" Mild pulled him into room filled with suits, shoes and accessory

"What is going on" Gulf was puzzled

"You are going to be Mews' plus one for the party" Mild said as he busily picked up a suit and matching shoes

"I don't want to be, send him with an alpha" Gulf shrugged Mild off

"Taking an alpha is an insult to him, he needs an omega for this"

"Take someone else" Gulf reasoned that he was not the only omega on this planet

"You are the only option, don't reason with me fish feed" Those words were enough for Gulf to stand still

"Wear this white suit and shoes, once you are done, call me over to fix the accessories" Mild said leaving Gulf alone

Unwillingly Gulf changed, he had no option, lets get this party over with...

"Good, you look nice" Mild said coming in "Here, lets see, these cufflinks match, hmm and a matching tie set"

"Pan, come in and do his hairstyle, something that would complement CEO" he said to the hairdresser

"Leave it to me" she said as she got to work

Minutes later Gulf was ready for the party, he felt like a bride with all these things around him. His main priority was to go to this party and leave unscathed and to buy his inhibitors

"Mild, I need to buy...." Gulf was cut short

"We are late we need to go" Mild pushed Gulf out and into a waiting car

"Get in" Mew's voice came from inside

Gulf got in and the door was closed. The car was then rolled out of the basement and into the downtown area

"Don't answer any unnecessary questions or better yet stay silent" Mew gave Gulf few instructions for the party and Gulf took a mental note of those....

The car came to a stop and Gulf couldn't believe the number of reporters surrounding the car. A concierge cane around and opened Mew's door and he got out, Gulf was about to open his door when Bosser stopped him

Mew came around the door and opened the door and held his hand out, he was never treated this way his whole life, this made him giddy inside....

"Come on" Mew said impatiently in a slow tone

Gulf stepped out to flashing camera lights...

"Smile" Mew ordered him and he complied

Hand in hand they walked to the entrance and into one of the largest halls that Gulf had ever seen in his life

"Act normal" Mew ordered again and Gulf complied again

Minutes later Mew told Gulf to stay in the corner whilst he went and greeted with the people. Like a lost puppy Gulf stayed in the corner eating food

"Gulfieeeeeee" Gulf turned to a bubbly Team running towards him. Thankfully at least one of his friend was here.

"Did you come with Mew?" Team said shaking his eyebrows

"Stop that wiggling, I did"

"Is he your mate?"

"He is, but he already denied it and I am grateful he did so" Team shook his head in denial

The overwhelming scent of alphas in one room was pressurizing Gulf uncontrollably. He was losing given the he didn't even take his inhibitor.

"Team" Gulf said clutches onto Teams arms "get me out of here now please" Gulf was panting

"Gulf are you in heat???" Team put on arm over Gulfs shoulder and led him outside as the people around could smell it "Shit!, do you have your inhibitor ?"

"I forgot to restock them" Gulf said as his pheromones disturbed the passerby's

"Let me call Tay" Team took his phone and called Tay and told him to hurry to the courtyard

Tay came and held Gulf up and let him to the attached hotel.

"Who is his alpha?" Tay asked Team

"Mew, but he denied him" Team said

"Denied or not, did he come with Mew"

"Yes he did"

He told the receptionist the name "Mew Suppait" and she hurriedly gave them his room key

"Let's take him upstairs"

Team and Tay escorted Gulf to Mew's room and locked the door. The only reason Tay was sane was because Tay had already bonded

"I'll go and call Mew" Tay said getting out of bed

"Don't" Gulf said weakly "he will hate me more, he already denied me"

"But he is the only one who can control it for you"

"Please don't" Gulf was crying in Teams' arms

"Fine I will not, I will go and get the inhibitor for you" Tay said turning to the door "If it is not Mew or me do not open the door no matter what"

"Got it Tay, go now" Team said locking the door behind Tay

Minutes later Tay was back with inhibitors and he injected double the dose to Gulf but there was no effect except Gulf calming down which was a psychological reaction. Team tried to get Gulf to sleep but his heat was getting in his way, he needed his alpha and that was it. PERIOD

After Gulf calmed down further, he apologized to Tay and Team for keeping them away from the party.

"How can I leave you alone ?" Team said

"You are my mates best friend and my dumb best friends mate, I would never leave you in that state" Tay laughed at the joke he made

They tried making small talks but that was interrupted by Gulf shaking life crazy

"Shit, why is he coming here !!!" Gulf shrieked

"Who is coming?" Team couldn't understand but Tay could. Now even Gulf's pheromones were getting to him

Just then the doors opened and an irritated Mew came into view, his eyes were not sane at all, hell is about to go down, Tay knew that he couldn't stand between this pair, this was soulmates and not fated pair and he couldn't stop Mew no matter what...

He pulled Team away from Gulf and darted out the door to his room 2 rooms down, even till there he could smell the pheromones these soulmates emitted....

"Don't come near me" Gulf said slowly getting up from the bed and darting towards the bathroom, unfortunate for him, Mew was quicker as he stopped Gulf from locking himself inside....

"You said you would not do this" Gulf was shaking and crying "you already denied me" Gulf said squirming out of Mew's arm, but he failed miserably.

"Are you sure?" Mew had to say this and all sanity in Gulf was lost, denial was not in his dictionary, the scent, the voice, the pheromones that he was craving since days was presented on a plate to him. He gave in ......, he knew he would regret it later......

"Do it" were the last comprehendible words by Gulf, Gulf needed it, and he gave into lust....another sacrifice was done, if only I had listened to the doctor .....
