"Alerting all people. Has anyone seen a child called Ruth? Any lost child in sight please report to ground floor counter." The alpha who heard his name in speaker ignored the speaker but when it started describing him as 'six feet tall', rough in appearance, he knew Otta boy did it again.

"Are you sure you are describing the 'Ruth' person?" The woman and I looked at the child dazed.

"Yes why? He has beard, six feet tall, his name is Ruth McQuoid Edeeeeee---I forgot his full name-- it's too long to remember! Who the hell named him this long."

"Otta boy!" The omega watched the alpha rush in and ruffle his hair, annoying the child again.

"Not my hair!! Ruth!"

The alpha sniffed the aroma of pheromones lingering around the omega while he tried backing away from the strange alpha.

"That was you?" Omega really didn't have a great first impression of the alpha.

Jay, too suspicious of the alpha whispered to the boy, "blink twice if you think you're in danger."

"Sadly," Otto sighed exaggerating, "he's too stupid to be a danger."

"Stop insulting me."

Omega gave a skeptical look at the alpha and scolded, "can't you keep a better watch on your child! As a father, you are irresponsible to leave him on his own." This was a misunderstanding.

"I'm not--"

"And now you're trying to deny your fault?"

"Act--"

"What? To say it wasn't your fault but mine?"

"Partially it was your fault. No actually it was your fault too."

"Excuse me?"

"I was chasing after you and got into trouble in the first place."

"Did you hit your head somewhere? Creepy old man."

"Old man? I am not. Definitely not creepy."

The omega warned the child. "Listen you're a good boy. Don't ever become like this creep who sniffs on some strangers."

"Okay."

"Why are you two ganging up on me??!"

The omega suspiciously eyed the alpha and exited through the gate, while alpha was too stunt to speak and lost for words.

"Oh fuck. I forgot to get his number."

"You're really creeping me out now." Otto kept making remarks about Ruth since he was really behaving so oddly, more than usual.

"Hey, I will give you 50 bucks if you tell me everything you know about him."

"Okay."

"Today, I met a creep." The omega texted Evan.

A creep?

Yeah. He was sniffing me out.

Was he hot?

Evan! Focus! I admit he might he a good looker but that still doesn't change the fact he's a creep.

Instead of the creep, why not date the director? He's a good looker too. And he's into you.

Just because they are into me, doesn't mean I am into them.

You're right. But you are still in the dating market! Why not start dating and forget about your ex.

I'm just not into it.

I am inviting all of us to the Sol o Luna Club.  Including you.

Great! I'm not in the mood.

Please please for me? Just once, give him a try!

I-I... ok fine.

Yes! Muah! Love ya!

Just send me the location.

"Ruth! Come join us on the dance floor!"

"Tell Trinity I'm not in the mood." The alpha's cousin had open a branch of bar in the district close to the city. But Ruth was not in the mood to sway and have fun.

He would only drink away, while his comrades were on the dance floor, grinding with everyone dancing with the beat.

"You ok?" It was bartender, Ethan, asked the alpha who was lost in deep thoughts.

"No," he gulps the drink, thinking again about what his friend in police department about the omega.

'Him? He's Jay Ziran, 22 year old, works in DC radio station. It was not long ago, maybe a month ago? His boyfriend and his friends got into drinking while driving, smoking cannabis. He was the one who bailed him out, slapped the guy in front of the police station.'

"Just wondering if that person still hooked onto someone else." Twirlling his glass in his hand, he takes the sit beside someone who was grumbling. It was beside the pool. He needed to get out and clear his thoughts.

"No thanks."

"Come on, Jay Ziran! Chug chug chug." Evan encouraged Jay to go all out and before he could say no, he forced down two, three and four shots.

"Woah. I can see two Evan."

"Two? One, two, three! Shit! I can see four of you!"

Drunkenly, Jay got all touchy with Dan, the director who was trying to get in bed with the omega ever since the omega came to spotlight.

The alpha on smelling the same pheromone, he frantically searched for the omega.

"He's near." He could sense the forest like smell coming from his right, away from the crowd but the sexual tension was buliding in. The omegas were out of their mind to take care of themselves. Both of them were under heavy intoxication that they left

"Jay!"

"Evan. The world's spinning!" The pitiful omega doesn't know that he just fell into the Dan's manipulative plan.

Before the hounds get their hand on their preys, the alpha intervened in and decided to pull the omega towards his embrace. With the amount of glare he gave and aura the alpha released, the atmosphere became tense and suffocated all the alphas in the room. Ruth most definitely growled at Dan, never letting the omega go from his embrace.

"Who are you!? Do you know Jay? I'm going to report you to-- "

"If you are looking for security, we are more than delighted to throw you all out." Ruth's cousin, Trinity, entered the scene.

"As the owner, I am glad to have you out."

"Tsk." Dan and his friends had no option but scatter away in case the matter might become worse.

"Cap! Who's this guy?"

He smirks arrogant as he picks him up in his arms. "Your future brother in law."
