Chapter 8

Keith is busy reviewing the latest design proposal for the hotel and resort he's planning to build in their newly acquired island at the South of the country, which is popular for the powdery white sand beaches and rich coral reefs. Acquiring the island is already a guaranteed money maker for their company, adding in their hotel brand it will surely entice the elites to spend their vacation time at their hotel and resort. Coming to any of their hotels is like a status verification, as most of their hotels are top tier and only a few people can afford.

He's too focused on reviewing the plans when his personal line suddenly rang. He massaged his temple, sighing at the interruption. Dreading to pick up the phone. There's only a few people who will call him using his direct line. His best friends who are mostly his business associates and his mother who nags him to get married.

Keith put down the documents and took a deep breath, readying himself for another lecture from his mom. He mentally takes note to check his secretary which day he will be available. A call from his mother meant a blind date that he cannot escape.

"Keith! Darling! You wouldn't believe it." Kate excitedly said as soon as Keith answered the phone. With the high energy his mom is giving off, it's a hundred percent confirmed that another blind date has been set up for him.

"Mom I might be free on the day after tomorrow but I still have to check with Dana." He replied not waiting for his mom to actually mention the blind date. He's meeting his friends tomorrow night so that day at least he's sure not available.

"Keith Louis Anderson! Show some enthusiasm, I'm not doing this for myself. I'm just concern about you." He heard his mom sniffing at the other line, he just apologized like usual. His mom keeps insisting that he should get married soon and make babies. He should have someone waiting for him at home, instead of those servants who have no one to serve most of the time as he's not always away for business.

"Yes Mom, I'll try my best." He replied in monotone, pacifying the Andersen matriarch while actually checking the other documents on his desk.

"You should. Ivana is such a respectable woman. Your Aunt Minnie introduced her to me. She's one of the highly sought after models in the country. She's a sweetheart. She's gorgeous, I'm sure you'll love her." Aunt Minnie is one of his mother's closest friends and her conspirator most of the time in finding a suitable bride for him.

Keith just listened to his mom's litany as she enumerates all the good quality the model has. With how great the woman his mom makes her, one should think that a lot of men should be after her and she should have the pick of the litter. The woman is an elite Alpha, who came from a good family, tall, pretty and famous. She can choose whomever she wants, but then again he's Keith Andersen. He is the most sought after bachelor in the country or even the world. At thirty years old, the world is waiting to see who will be his wife.

The Andersens came from old money. His family has been rich since time immemorial. Their family has always been in the top ten richest families in the world and the number one in the country. Some say they are even more powerful than whoever was elected as president of the country. Being an Andersen means never having to worry about being poor the rest of your life.

He just let his mom talk, he's not actually interested. At least not yet. He knows he has to get a wife in the future, it doesn't matter who, his mom can select someone when it's time for him to get married. To him, marriage is just an obligation for him as an Andersen to produce an heir.

Honestly, he doesn't even need any help from his mother to find a woman for him. Men and women cling to him like a magnet. From an Alpha and Beta to an Omega. All swarm to him like bees. Well aside from his family background, he's got the looks as well being an Alpha himself.

He bedded a few of those who offered their bodies to him. He's just a man, he has needs, but he has a policy. He only have sex with male Alphas and male or female betas, as they have the lowest rate of possible pregnancy. He needs an heir, but he doesn't want any unplanned illegitimate child.

A lot of Omegas tried to entice him with their heat. Some even induced their own cycle, hoping to make him lose his rationality and bed them. Fortunately for him, he's a superior dominant alpha and he's not easily affected by pheromones even from an Omega in heat. He's never been once controlled by any pheromones being it his or anyone else.

"Okay it's finally done." Alex wipes the sweat from his forehead and giddily looks at his apartment. It's the first time he's going to live on his own. They have been slowly bringing in his things and today was the day he completely moved in.

"Mom!" He called out looking at the sad woman beside him and immediately hugged her. His mom has been reluctant to let him live on his own. She's worried about him being alone that it took her three years to finally allow her precious son to move out of the family home. His now on his senior year in college, his schedule is beyond hectic with the thesis and internship he has to complete.

"I'm just worried for you. You're still an Omega afterwall. An unmarked alone Omega at that." Helena uttered full of worry.

"I'll be fine mom. It's not as if I'm having a heat cycle you know." He said laughing, which earned him a glare from his mom.

"You're an Omega, you are vulnerable by nature no matter what you say. It's our duty as a parent to worry about you." His dad chimed in as soon as he put the bag of ready made food his mom had prepared for him. He just came back from picking it up from the car.

"Aww I know you love me so much guys. You're the best parents in the whole wide universe." Alex proclaimed, opening his arms widely so that his Dad can join them in a group hug. "I bet Matt is jealous he couldn't join The Alex Special Hug." They all laughed together, knowing that the eldest son is probably anxious and jealous at the moment. He has a duty in the hospital and couldn't take the day off to help. If there's anyone overprotective to Alex, then it's his older brother. His brother has an extreme brocon complex.

After checking all his windows and ensuring everything is safe. His parents started to leave, still reluctant to let go of their youngest son. They keep giving him reminders and lists of things he should do.

"Yes Dad, I agree. I'm an Omega even though I might be a recessive one and even though the Doctors do not agree. I should be careful." Alex said, pacifying his father and ensuring he understood it himself. "And yes Mom, I'll call and check in with you every night at 10:00 pm to confirm I got home and I'm safe and that I will also inform you if there's any change in my body." He said enumerating all their orders and reminders.

He is twenty years old now and will be twenty-one in half a year. Unlike other Omegas, he hasn't gotten his first heat. Omegas usually starts to get their first heat as soon as they hit puberty. At twenty, he's already a rare case though the Doctors are still reluctant to declare him as a recessive Omega since he still emits pheromones, though not as strong as a normal Omega. He's such a special case that his ever loving brother decided to be a doctor in order to understand how to help him live a normal Omega life.

He waved goodbye to his parents after finally convincing them to go. He decided to take a shower and call it a day. He still has a few weeks left till the semester starts. He should relax now while he can.
