Chapter 6

One week later

Cara woke up from her sleep, her body ached, her whole room a mess. For a week Cara never slept well, she always woke up in the middle of her sleep because she felt pain all over her body. But that morning it all started to settle down, she got out of bed and looked at herself in the mirror. She looks messy.

Not long after, the sound of knocking on the door was heard, and the voice of her mother calling was heard too.

"Cara, are you awake? Breakfast is ready" her mother said.

"Yes, I'm coming" Cara said.

She decided to take a shower and tidy up her room before leaving and approaching her mother and sister at the dining table. Rosie immediately hugged her tightly when Cara got close to her.

"You're great Cara" Rosie said.

"Thank you Rosie" Cara sat at the dining table and her mother handed her a plate with side dishes.

"You have to eat a lot to fill your strength" her mother said.

"Mom" Cara said.

"Hmm"

"How did you endure the pain during the heat cycle?"

"It hurts as much as you, but now that I have your father, it's not as painful anymore, even if your father isn't by my side, his clothes can help me endure the pain"

"What's so much better than a suppressant?"

"Of course, you will feel it when you meet your mate"

"Isn't there any other way besides taking a suppressant?" Cara said.

"Mating" her mother said and Cara was silent.

"Cara, I know you are tired like this, I am too, I also met your father when I was 23 years old. But he didn't immediately mark me, because we are on the same level, so it's easier to endure. Actually, what your father and I are worried about is, what if you can't survive out there. You know, many Omegas end in death, before they meet their mate, it's because they can't go against the orders the Alphas gave them. We should teach you how to survive but we don't we have the capacity for that, we are in the middle tier, where our abilities are only what we can give to you two" her mother said.

"Mom, do you believe I can do it?"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't have friends other than Gemma, but she's a Beta, I have to practice differentiating their scents. I want to try making friends with other Alphas or Omegas"

"Cara, you know there will be a big risk behind it all"

"Mom, I trust Cara, she's a Bold and as far as I know, a Bold is an equal opponent for the Alphas, they're not easy to beat" Rosie said.

"That's true, but a Bold is usually trained to do that" her mother said.

"But forbidding her won't make her life much better mom"

Rosie's words were right, Cara would grow up every year, she also didn't have much time to meet her mate, only 7 years before she died. But she's 1 in 10 Omega in the world, which means if she loses Cara, she loses everything.

•••

That afternoon Cara really wanted to talk to her mother, she went to her mother's room and knocked on the door, then her mother told her to come in.

"Mom.." Cara said.

"What happened Cara?" Her mother said, Cara walked over to her mother in bed and sat down beside her.

"Mom, actually I've wanted to say this for a long time, but I know you and daddy will definitely forbid me"

"What's that?"

"I want to stop taking blockers"

"What? But why? What happened Cara?" her mother said.

"Mom, how can I live as Bold if I'm still hiding behind that blocker? My Scent could really be lost due to overuse. I only have 7 years to find my mate. Will I continue to live with blockers? Is my life only this short?"

"Cara, don't talk like that, you know this isn't easy for us either. Having you in this family is like the most beautiful gift, we never expected you to look special. We weren't ready for that so we didn't know how to treat you. As your mother, of course I'm worried, I don't want anything bad to happen, even though you are the strongest among us but you are still an Omega, too weak to face an Alpha, but as an Omega, I hope you find your mate as soon as possible, I want you to live happily, live with should"

"Trust me, I just want you to believe in me, I just want to try to live my life properly. I'm getting tired of living life like this. I want to get to know the wider world. Not just a house and a coffee shop" Cara said.

Her mother just stared at her daughter, as an Omega, her mother knew exactly what her daughter was feeling at that moment. Cara needs her mate. She couldn't live alone for the rest of her life. Cara also needs to adapt to its environment. With many human characters so she can choose the best for herself.

"Cara, I believe you, as an Omega, you are the highest in this pack, I have no real right to ban you, you are in control of your own life and we should only be able to support your every choice. I'm sorry Cara"

Her mother said and Cara hugged her mother tightly. She was just as worried as her mother. She had never done this before, starting the day as an Omega and ending the day as an Omega too. It was something new for her but she always wanted to try it, because she never knows what will happen if she does not try.

The next day

Cara gets ready to go to work, she has breakfast with her mother and sister, Rosie. Her father would be home that day from work, of course she was very happy to hear that news. That day she left her blocker in her room, she left without taking it. Came out with a coat and earbuds on her ears. The song playing made her smile.

She started the day as a new Cara. She was walking with a happy heart that morning, but again her steps stopped when she saw the man again near her workplace. But this time he is not alone, he is with another man beside him.

"What are you doing here?" Cara said..

"Morning Cara, of course waiting for you" Noah said.

"Wait, how did you know my name?"

"Your friend said that when I came looking for you a week ago"

"Then why are you waiting for me?" Cara said.

"I just wanted to talk with you, if you're not busy."

"I'm sorry but I'm busy" When Cara wanted to pass them by, Noah held Cara's hand but Cara brushed it off immediately.

"Don't touch me! We don't know each other, don't you dare talk to me like you already know me" As she said, she looked at Noah and then at the man beside him.

"Don't you know who's in front of you?" the man said.

"Two Alphas" Cara said and headed towards her workplace.

While she was changing her uniform, Gemma came over to Cara, she said that the two men had come and ordered coffee there. But Cara was silent.

"Cara, what happened to you? Did they do something?" Gemma said.

"That's weird"

"What's weird?"

"Why do they have the same scent?"

"Who?"

"Is it possible if they have the same scent?" Cara said.

"No, I've never heard of such a thing but that's impossible".

"But, when the other guy talked to me, I got scared"

"Scared?"

"Yeah, like someone is giving orders to me" Cara said.

"Really? Cara, but you better go and get their coffee before they wait too long" Gemma said and Cara just sighed before walking out.

She saw clearly the two men sitting by the window. Cara picked up two cups of coffee and carried them by the tray to their table.

"Here's your order" Cara said, placing the glass on the table but when she wanted to leave, again Noah held her down, not with a touch of course.

"I'm Noah" Noah said and made Cara turn towards them.

"This is my brother, Sean" Noah said.

"Okay, you two know my name right?" Cara said.

"We just want to be friends, if you're not busy, sit with us first, we're in a pack, we won't hurt you, we promise, I promise" Noah said and Cara sat in the empty chair they provided.

"What do you want to talk to me? It's work time, I'm busy" Cara glanced at Sean and he just stared at Cara.

"Did you forget to put your blocker on? I mean, your scent really smells to me" Noah said.

"I don't really wear them"

"That's dangerous, don't you know that many Alphas will target you, your scent is very attractive"

"Then I shouldn't be among you, aren't you two Alphas too?"

"Are you a Bold?" Sean said and Cara immediately looked at him with a surprised face.

"You don't need to be so surprised, you must know that only Alpha can tell the difference" Sean said.

"So what?" Cara said.

"I'm not surprised why you're like this, but your attitude is like Bold amateur, didn't anyone teach you to control your emotions? You'd be easily guessed by other Alphas at this rate, I'm sure you know it's dangerous for you" That's right, her mother had even told her beforehand.

"Did you come here just to say this? And I want to ask one thing" Cara said

"What's that?" Noah said.

"Do you guys have the same scent? Because I don't know whose scent I'm smelling right now"

"No, this belongs to Sean. I'm wearing his jacket." Noah opened Sean's jacket and the difference in their scent was very clear. Cara turned to Sean and so did Sean.

"This is yours?" Cara said.

"Yeah" Sean said.

"Hey, do you want to have dinner together? It would be cool if we could hang out together right?" Noah said, but Cara and Sean's eyes still met.

"Cara..." Noah said.

"Huh? Ahh what did you say?" Cara said.

"Are you having dinner with us?" Noah said.

"I'm sorry but tonight my father is home, so I have to be home with my family" Cara said.

"I have to work, I'm sorry" Cara got up from her chair and left.

"Why? Why are you looking at her like that? She's mine" Noah says.

"Ah no nothing" Sean said and he just lowered his head. He's lying, of course he's hiding something.
