Chapter 6

"Thank goodness I saved my files in my USB. Anyway, you don't have to worry about my laptop. You have to get a new phone too, since it was in your bag," Daryl said as we ran to the lecture room. "I'm broke as fuck, Daryl. Where could I ever get money to buy a new phone," I said as I wiped the sweat on my forehead. "Don't worry. I'll lend you my old phone," he said as we stopped in front of the lecture room. "Thanks," I muttered as I tried catch my breath.

He opened the door slowly at peeked inside. I saw the sides of his lips rise and turned into a smile. "The prof isn't here yet," he said as he smiled and opened the door widely. I let out a sigh of relief as I touched my chest. "Thank goodness," I said as we entered the room. We sat next to each other and he put his bag on the chair next to his.

"Don't ever go back to that alpha's house, Justin. I beg of you. Something might happen to you, so you should always be wary of alphas," Daryl said as he turned his head to look at me. "Yes, yes, I know. I'm being really careful right now since I just had my heat yester—" I did not finish my sentence because he cut me off by speaking. "Oh my god! How could I ever forget that you just had your heat!" He whispered in a tone that sounded like he was screaming silently. I cursed when I realized it too.

An omega's heat cycle usually lasts for at least four days and some last for a week, yet here I am, at the campus, sitting comfortably on a chair at the lecture room.

"You know what, you should just leave right now. Your health should always come first," he said as he stood up, attempting to leave. "No, I'll stay here for today. I only have three classes today since the prof for my last class isn't around. I'm already here, so why shouldn't I just make the most of it?" I said and smiled to convince him that I really am okay. He sighed and said, "Fine. But promise me not to leave my side so I could keep you safe." I nodded and said, "I promise."

"Hey, Justin! You smell like an alpha. Is this why you rejected me? Because you've been sleeping around with some random alpha?" I turned to see who it was, and saw that Xander, an alpha blockmate, was the one who spoke. "Excuse me?" Daryl said in an offended tone as he turned to look at him. I held Daryl's shoulder to stop him from getting into an argument with him. "What is it to you if I've been 'sleeping around with some random alpha'? Are you bitter because I rejected you?" I said, emphasizing 'sleeping around with some random alpha'.

"Hah! Why would I be bitter?" He said as he leaned his back against the chair. "Simply because I did not choose you and slept with someone else instead?" I said and smirked to aggravate him. "If you're so proud of that alpha of yours, then why don't you let me meet him? I'm sure I'm better than him," he said as he smirked.

Well, he is a dominant alpha. I get where his confidence is coming from. "Alright, then. But I'm pretty sure that once you meet him, you'd be on your knees begging for his dick even if you're an alpha," I said as my lips curved into a mocking smile.

He was about to retort, but our prof entered the lecture room and apologized for being late. For our next class, Daryl and I parted ways since we have different classes, and the same goes for the third one. During lunch, we ate together and decided to meet at the plaza later, so he could drive me home.

I'm currently sitting on one of the benches as I waited for Daryl to arrive. I looked at my wrist watch and thought that it's time for his class to finish now. I looked around and saw people whispering and giggling with each other.

What's with them?

I looked at the direction where they were looking at, and was startled to see the alpha I was with yesterday. He was wearing sunglasses, a long sleeves denim polo with a white shirt underneath, dark blue jeans, and black shoes. His hair looked a bit messy, but he looked effortlessly stylish as he leaned his back against a tree.

"What is he doing here?" I muttered to myself as I stared at him. He must have noticed me staring at him for too long because he looked my way. I jumped when I saw him stand straight and started walking towards me.

Oh no.

I stood up and walked fast to head inside the nearest building. But before I could even walk further, I felt something warm on my wrist which I assume to be his hand. He pulled me which made me face him, and I couldn't hide the shock on my face when I saw his face. He had already removed his sunglasses and he was staring straight into my eyes.

"I found you." My eyes trembled while looking at him as he muttered those words under his breath.

I'm scared.

"Hi, you're Justin, right? I'm sorry I looked at your stuff without your permission. I just really wanted to return your bag to you, which is why I've been waiting for hours to give you back your things," he said as he raised the backpack he's holding. "This is yours, right?" He said and smiled.

I swallowed hard as I felt my heart beating faster and faster. I could also feel my whole body getting warmer.

Is it starting?

"Are you alright? Are you still in heat? Well, that was a dumb question. Of course, you're still in heat," he said with a troubled look on his face. I did not realize that I was looking into his eyes, but when I did, I still couldn't look away because I somehow felt like I was drowning in them.

His eyes were... green. His eyes looked warm and welcoming.

"Hey, please answer me. Are you alright?" He asked once again. I was started panting as I stared at him longer.

I... I want him.

I cupped his cheeks and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "Please do it with me."
