CHAPTER 6

Sydney blushed and looked down and saw that she was fully dressed. Jacob smiled and patted her head and then got up and took out a new towel and clothes. She looked at him confused and took the clothes and removed the sheet and he looked at her.

“Where did you get my clothes from?” She asked and got up and he looked while sitting in the chair.

“Well I got up early this morning and went to your apartment and got yours and Nia clothes. I closed my eyes and went into the underwear drawer. I hope I got the correct ones,” He said and she widened her eyes and threw the pillow at him and ran to the bathroom. 

She leaned on the door and held the bag close to her chest and slid down to the floor. Jacob smiled but the smile came off quickly and he rubbed his lips.

“I must not fall for her, she's just like all the other omegas” he said in his mind and called for a maid to prepare breakfast.

On the balcony, Nia held Kevin's collar and pulled him in for a kiss. He widened his eyes but quickly caught himself and kissed back and held her waist. She pulled away and looked at him and turned around and looked out.

“There you go,” Nia said and looked at him.

“Wow,” he said.

After breakfast, they brought the girls back to the apartment and wished them well. 

After that day, they became best friends. They would go out on weekends and sleep over at each other's homes. They would flirt occasionally. Nia and Kevin would make out sometimes but Sydney and Jacob would just talk and they enjoyed that.

It has been 5 months since they knew each other. Jacob and Kevin still go out and find girls and sleep with them and then turn up the next day with marks on their bodies. The girls act like they don't see it and just shrug it off.

“Don’t get your hopes high Syd, they are only playing with us,” Nia said while drinking a coffee.

“I don't think they are, we aren’t together so they can do whatever they want…We are just their friends…nothing more and nothing less,” she said and hid her sadness.

“I know how you are Syd, you love unconditionally and you always end up getting hurt with those douchebags, Kevin is a big one. He and Jacob are playing us and if I find out that they are, they will pay with their lives,” Nia said and Sydney smiled and took out her phone.

“Ah, next week I have to stay home, its my heat week,” she said and Nia nodded.

“Must be painful as hell, don’t worry, you have me as always and I won’t go anywhere,” she said.

“That means I have to stack up on food,” Nia said and Sydney nodded.

The Omega is most fertile and ready to mate during a heat. Some like to have partners to assist them through their heats, while others opt to remain alone in their nests until their heat is ended. Omegas will enter pre-heat three to five days prior to the start of heat. They will feel the impulse to begin nesting at this time. Creating a compact, cozy space to escape the heat is known as nesting. The space will be furnished with cushions, blankets, and other items that serve as a reminder of their Alpha (if they have one). Omegas frequently experience moderate warming, especially when they are sleeping, and may sleep longer during a pre-heat to conserve the energy they will need for their heat. When the Omega enters maximum heat, pre-heating is over. The Omega enters heat as soon as preheat is finished. Beginning with temperature, light cramps, heightened stickiness, and increased pheromone production, heat lasts for 4–7 days. Biology uses the enhanced pheromones to attract mates and to let any nearby Alphas know that the Omega is fertile. When an Omega is in heat, Betas may also feel the want to procreate with them, but this urge is much weaker in them than it is in Alphas. Unmated Omegas who want to avoid having to persuade people to aid them through heat may choose to shut themselves in their chamber or nest. There are several medicines that can aid in delaying heats or perhaps stopping them altogether. Several Omegas use the option of suppressants. Contemporary suppressants are typically safe and efficient, but prolonged usage may result in undesirable side effects. On the other hand, Betas are not able to have naturally occurring heats and ruts, however, they can have a medically induced minor heat or rut (M.I.H./M.I.R.). MIHs/MIRs are most often used to assist mates in mating cycles, but can be used for many reasons.

“But remember you are going into preheat this week so you can’t go to work,” Nia said and she nodded.

The door’s bell jingle and Sydney got up and went to the cash register. She looked up and saw Samamtha, The customer that threw the beverages at her that day. Samatha looked and went and ordered a sweet drink.

“That drink is a sweet drink,” Sydney said and looked at her.

“Oh, then give me a drink that's not too sweet but not too bitter,” Samantha said and Sydney nodded and entered the drink.

Samantha paid for it and went to sit. Sydney went to make the drink and and then she was down she went and gave Samantha. Samatha drank it and smiled.

“Thanks and I’m sorry for what happened that day. I was in a bad mood and I took it out on you like a lunatic. I’m sorry,” She apologized.

“Oh that's okay, we all have bad days,” Sydney said and walked away and went back to Nia and sat down. 

“What was that about?” Nia asked.

“Oh she was the person I told you about,” she said and Nia nodded.

“Well, be careful, we can’t trust anyone here,” Nia said and sighed.

Sydney smiled.

It was now dark and Sydney was closing up the place when she felt a sudden pain. She bent over and held her stomach. Nia saw her and went to her quickly and picked her up. 

“I didn't think it would start so soon, let's go home before these alphas go feral,” Nia said and went to grab Sydney bags and held her and got out and closed the cafe and went home quickly.

But what they didn’t know was that a Beta male was following close by.
