Alexander found himself standing in the middle of the forest, covered with long thick trees. He could hear the distant sound of water running through the river somewhere. The ground was slightly damp and his shoes were getting dirty.

But his eyes were fixed on a female figure standing in front of him.

Her long brown hair covered most of her face, thanks to the cool breeze flowing around them. He could still see her plump lips smiling at him mischievously.

"Come alpha. Catch me if you can!" She shouted, excitement clear in her voice as she playfully challenged him.

" And what if i catch you?" Alexander heard himself asking the question his voice laced with excitement as well. He was already eager for the chase.

The omega tugged her long hair behind her ears and Alexander felt it hard to breathe.

The omega was stunning, absolutely gorgeous. Her eyes expressive shade of brown, her lips looked like rose petals. Alexander wanted to have more of her peach scent. It was intoxicating.

She smiled at him, eyes turning into crescent moon depicting the moon goddess that Alexander worships.

"Then i will be yours..." She whispered , voice soft and hardly audible but Alexander heard her loud and clear. His Alpha roared in him , ready to chase their potential mate and dedicate their life to their omega forever.

..............

"How long are you going to sleep, stupid boy?" A voice that he knew all too well called him and Alexander immediately groaned , feeling frustrated that he was called back from his beautiful dream. He was about to chase the beautiful Omega For God's sake! "Its afternoon already!" The voice said again.

"Mom, its Sunday... " Alexander muttered as he buried his face in his pillow, trying and desperately wishing that he would somehow be able to continue the dream even though he knew that it was impossible.

"Yes , but that doesn't mean that you should waste your time like this." She said and Alexander knew that his mother won't shut up until he was up.

"I regret giving my pass code to you. I am adult now. You cant just barge into my apartment like this." Alexander said, glaring at his mother. His mother actually found it cute because Alexander had his hair standing out in every possible direction. He looked nothing like a intimidating CEO he claims to be.

"Once you get yourself a mate, I wont come here as often as I do." She said as she sat on the chair opposite to the bed where Alexander was sitting. "If I don't come here often you would end up starving yourself." She added.

" We have home delivery for most of the restaurants, mom. I am not gonna starve just because I don't know how to cook." He said, voice thick with sleep.

" Or you could have an omega or beta to take care of you?" She asked with narrowed eyes and Alexander rolled his eyes at his mother.

" I could just get a house maid instead. " He said as he stood from the bed and made his way towards bathroom.

"You know that's not what i mean, right? You are already thirty!" His mother called.

"That’s not even old." He said with rolled eyes as he brushed his teeth. When he came out of the bathroom, his mother was not there in the bedroom but he could smell the mouth watering scent of pancakes and maple syrup . He went to his kitchen and saw his mother placing the food in the plate.

"Eat it before it gets cold." He heard his mother say as she sat on one of the chair. Her rose scent was comforting Alexander like a warm blanket in a cold Night.

By the looks of it, Alexander was sure that his mother had no intention of leaving soon.

They thankfully ate the breakfast in silence but every now and then the male Alpha could see his mother stealing glances at him. It was clear that she wanted to say something to him but was hesitating. He decided to end her suffering and take the lead instead.

" You want to tell me something?" He asked as he raised his brow and leaned back on the chair. His mother looked shocked and Alexander sighed at that. "Its obvious that you want to tell me something. "

This time his mother sighed as she too leaned back. She had barely touched her plate and by judging her scent , it was clear that she was nervous too.

"We all want the best for you, Alex. " she began, soft smile on her face and Alexander knew her tricks. "You are not getting younger."

"I am not old man, mom. " Alexander reminded her but she continued as if he didn't speak at all.

"When your dad were of your age , we had two kids already and here you are, still single." She said and Alexander resisted the urge to roll his eyes. " don’t you think that you should consider settling down now?"

"No." Alexander said almost instantly. He had no plans about getting married.

"You have to." She said, voice all determined.

"You can't force me." Alexander said, as calm as ever.

His mother's sighed yet again as she momentarily closed her eyes. It was clear as the sky that she was frustrated by his attitude but she was just like him : stubborn.

"An alpha needs a mate, Alexander. " she said. "You need help to spent your rut. I know how painful it can be witho--"

"Mom! Please! I seriously don’t want to talk about this stuff with you. " He said, cheeks blooming red.

"Oh! Shut up! What’s wrong talking about rut with your mom?"

"Everything?" Alexander provided but his mother ignored everything.

"I arranged a blind date for you. With my late friend's beautiful daughter. " she said and watched how Alexander’s eyes widened at her words.

" What?!" Alexander nearly shouted. "You know I won't be going to that." He added with narrowed gaze.

"Alexander, " His mother called. "Your parents are now getting old." She started. Oh. Classic emotional blackmail. " We don’t know when god will call us." She faked some tears and knew that her trick was working when Alexander’s gaze softened at her.

" Don’t say something like that mom." Alexander said. Though he was the eldest among his siblings, he was the softest among all of them.

"I just want you to go on the date. Is that too much to ask?" To add more effect, she wavered her voice.

"Fine." Alexander said with a sigh and a groan. " I will go on this date." He agreed.

As soon as he Said those words, his mother clapped her hands in excitement.

"Oh! Thank you sweetheart!" She exclaimed as she stood up from her seat and gathered her purse. "I am glad that you agreed. I'll text you the details later!" She said as she made her way towards her son and give him a peck on his cheeks. " I'll get going. My favourite brand launched a new line of clothing! I should get it before someone else does! " and with that said, she bid her goodbye and walked out of the apartment leaving her son in daze.

Alexander chuckled as he rubbed his face , feeling extremely frustrated and stupid. He got played by his own mother.

And now he had gotten himself stuck in a blind date.

He groaned loudly as he banged his head on the table.

He could still remember his dream and the omega in his dream. He had never seen someone so beautiful. She was different, he wished that he could smell her scent.
