Chapter 7

It was not a normal day, there were lots of male customers who seemed to be trying to seduce Cara, she had tried to hold back, to be honest she was annoyed at that time, but she had to finish her job. Gemma, who saw the look on Cara's face, approached her and elbowed her.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are so many customers asking your name? What happened?" Gemma said.

"Actually, I wasn't wearing my blocker today." Cara said.

"What? Are you crazy? Cara, this is dangerous for you, you will go home alone, through the streets full of Alpha out there" Gemma said.

"I know, I know I'm crazy, but Gemma, I can't hide behind that blocker all the time, I have another life, I have to find my mate, my heat cycle is so painful every month, I can't hold it alone, after all I only have 7 years to survive"

"But you should have told me earlier, I could take better care of you. Do your parents know about this?" Gemma said.

"My mother and sister know, but not my father, he will definitely be angry when I come home later, but Gemma, I do this to survive, I do this to adapt, I'm sure it's difficult at first but this is my life" Cara said.

"I know, I'm just scared, Cara. I mean, you've never done this, I'm afraid you won't be able to control yourself, you know they'll immediately notice if you're different just by looking at your attitude"

"Yeah, the guys said so too"

"Who?" Gemma said.

"Noah and Sean"

"Your fans?" Gemma said.

"Aish, I don't know, I feel like I'm attracted to one of them"

"You are interested in any of them?"

"No, I don't mean interested like that, but the scent makes me drunk. Weird, Noah comes with Sean's scent on him, I like his scent but not Noah, and now I meet the owner of that scent but when he talks, I'm scared, I feel like I have to submit I don't know why it's like that, but it's weird" Cara said.

"It's not weird, wouldn't Alpha and Omega be attracted to each other when they smell their scent mate?" Gemma said.

"Yes, I know you will think in that way, but, I don't think Alpha and Omega will decide that they are mate"

"No coincidence Cara, wait here, let me take care of the table" Gemma said and left Cara.

•••

Time passed quickly, after closing the coffee shop, Gemma and Cara parted ways as usual, but at that time it was so hard to be Gemma, she had to let her friend go alone in that condition.

As Cara was walking, she felt like someone was following her, she could even smell his scent, very close to her. She stopped her steps and slowly turned her body, she gasped when she saw a man standing not far from her, looking at her with a smile on his face, very creepy.

"Hey beautiful, why are you walking alone? It's going to be night soon, don't you know an Omega like you can't be outside like this" The man slowly approached Cara and Cara slowly took a step back.

"Stop.. don't come closer" Cara said.

"Why? I want to accompany you home, so you are safe"

Cara really didn't like that man's scent, she was so sick of smelling it. Cara was frightened at that time, she kept backing away hoping someone would help her but she stopped because she bumped into something, maybe someone.

She didn't dare to turn around, but she knew that scent, she knew it was the scent she liked. She turned her body and she could breathe a sigh of relief, it was Sean.

"What are you doing?" Sean said.

"Please help me" Cara just opened her mouth silently and Sean looked behind Cara's body, he saw an Alpha who was in horny.

"Why? Why should I help you? Don't you want to be friends with an Alpha?" Sean said.

"W-what?" Cara said, tears dripped down her cheeks and when the man pulled Cara's hand, he turned her around. Sean immediately pushed the man to the ground, he stood in front of Cara's body to block the man.

"Don't you dare touch her!" Sean said.

"Who are you? If you want to have fun, we can share it" The man said.

"She's my mate" Sean said.

"You're lying, she didn't have any marks on her neck, you must have just seen her when she bumped into you" Sean easily changed the color of his eyes, he just stared at the man and the man was surprised to see him, he immediately ran away without saying anything.

"Sean, what did you do to him?" Cara said and Sean turned towards her.

"Cara, listen to me, we're different, okay? You're a Bold and I'm a Hyper, so you have to protect your scent, there's lots of hungry Alphas out there" Sean said and Cara just looked him in the eye.

"You..you are a Hyper?" Cara said.

"Yeah, that's why he left when he saw my eyes changed, didn't you bring your blocker?"

"No, I left it at home"

"Then use this" He took off his jacket and handed it to Cara.

"No, you don't have to do it, you already helped me" Cara said.

"But you will meet the other Alpha later, I have to go home" Cara took his jacket and when Sean wanted to leave, she held his hand.

"Wait .." Cara said.

"What?"

"Thank you, for helping me" Cara said and Sean just kept quiet and then left.

Cara quickly put on the jacket Sean gave her, it had Sean's scent, a scent she liked. She walked with a smile on her face, but when she arrived in front of her house, she saw her father waiting in front of the house with an annoyed face.

"Cara! What are you doing! How many times do I have to tell you your scent is dangerous! And whose jacket is this? Your scent is like Alpha! Who approached you? Answer me!" Her father snapped at her.

"Honey, you don't have to yell at her like that, it's my fault, I allowed her" her mother said.

"Yeah this is your fault! But this is also her fault! What did I say about taking care of each other? Huh? What if something happens to you? Do you know how scared I would be if that happened? You are my daughter Cara!"

"Dad, I'm sorry, but this is my life, you will never know how bored I am living the life you gave me, blockers don't keep me safe, blockers make me die slowly. My scent can disappear and no Alpha will recognize me as their mate. Do you know how scared I was? I only have 7 years left dad, if I continue to live with that blocker, I won't be able to survive in my life, in this life. This is not the kind of life I want, I won't be brave just because of that blocker. I'm a Bold, but I'm weak. I know it can harm me, I know. But that's life, I'll meet a lot of bad guys out there but, you see, I met a nice guy, a Hyper who helped me and gave me his jacket, he protected me. I just want to see people like this, I'm sorry dad" Cara said.

Her father was silent, his mate just hugged him from the side, his daughter was right. It was her life and she's a big girl now. Asking her to continue using blockers throughout her life will only make her die slowly. Even though she's a Bold, 1 in 10 Omega in the world, she should be useful for those around her. Not hiding the real her.
