Chapter 6: Destined mate

Calantha went down to the hotel lobby, walked a short distance out onto the main street, and then sat alone at the bus stop. She had to wait a long time to catch the bus to go home. During the trip, she tightly pulled her coat to cover her entire body, and held a medicine bag which was used to hide her pheromones in her chest. This bus was filled with beta, so that no one would be able to smell the pheromones surrounding her, but they all stayed away from Calantha's place. She didn't know how everyone felt but according to their attitude, Calantha knew things were not good, so she tried not to bother anyone.

The bus parked near where she lived. Calantha got out of the car and walked into the dilapidated little apartment building. This place didn't even have an elevator. She dragged her tired body up five floors, came to a small room in the corner, searched until she found the key in her pocket, plugged it in the lock, and entered. In the brightly lit room, the TV was showing a certain movie. She took off her shoes and shouted loudly, "I'm back."

"So late today?"

The sound of sandals rubbing against the floor made a shrill sound. A girl approached Calantha, but just a meter away from her friend, she hurriedly stepped back, her face wrinkled. Calantha raised her head, stopped there.

"What's that smell on you? Annoyed."

Calantha sniffed her hand in bewilderment. Alpha's alcohol-smell pheromones mixed with the sweetness to form a characteristic aroma, it made Calantha's whole body slightly warm. She blushed and shook her head. Marry looked suspiciously at Calantha from head to toe, and waved her friend to go inside. In the room, one person sat on the sofa, the other pulled the chair away as if she had been avoiding the plague.

Marry did not know how to describe the feeling from Calantha's side.

“I’m feeling short of breath and angry. I can't smell your body, but it makes me feel like that."

Calantha heard Marry's vague descriptions of why people had avoided her. She touched the anthology position on her neck, which must have been marked by Marcus. She couldn't understand the reason. When she saw her good friend still staring at her with eyes full of curiosity, Calantha was about to make an excuse to let it go, but she didn't feel that it was right. She sighed and briefly told Mary what she had encountered that day, from accidentally having gone into arousal to having had a temporary mark from an alpha.

Mary was surprised to hear that, she stammered speechless. She tried to stabilize her emotions, then asked again, "The one who marked you is Stella's CEO, Marcus Hofsess, right?"

Calantha nodded, "He just temporarily marked."

Confused, she asked Marry, “According to what I've learned, beta can't sense pheromones, right? Why did you and the people I met on the road stayed away from me?”

That was what she wondered. After an Alpha marks an Omega, that omega will emit alpha's pheromones, that will make other alphas no longer feel pheromones from that omega anymore. If the alpha has bad intentions with the omega that has an owner, the pheromones will start to attack and fight back. Beta can't sense it.

Marry glared, she didn't know what to say to her bewildered friend, "Did you listen carefully to the sex education sessions when you were in school?"

Calantha smiled sheepishly. When she was in high school, she hadn't differentiated yet, she was busy with classes and also had to work part-time, so Calantha wanted to hide from sex education sessions. Anyway, it was an after-school activity that students were not required to participate in. Knowledge about genders was rife online and in everyday life.

Marry glared at her good friend, and began to impart science to Calantha,  “Alpha has many levels and it is expressed through pheromones. Alpha's highest rank is S-rank, which is extremely sparse. Marcus Hofsess is one of the few S-class alphas. S-class alpha is characterized by very violent pheromones, which can even affect beta. When an omega is marked by an S-rank alpha, that omega will be enveloped by those strong pheromones, then it forbids anyone to approach his possession.”

Calantha worried, she said "Then I just leave it like this, don’t I?"

Mary comforted, “Don't worry. Wait for another month and the signs will disappear completely. S-rank alphas can store temporary marks for up to a month, but low-grade alphas' marks only last for a maximum of half a month. I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky. And if you want to cover it, it's simple. In this era, science and technology have advanced. You just need to stick the patch, spray the antiperspirant on the Pheromones, then put on your incense bag and then you can go to work as usual. And be careful , okay."

Calantha was sad and wanted to cry. How much would it cost to use all that stuff? She was poor, she did not have money to eat and still had to spend such a large amount of money. She was also likely to be fired.

Calantha was in the heat at the moment so Marry couldn't stay with her in an enclosed space for too long. Although Mary was very worried about Calantha's health, she still had to leave her room for a few days, at least until Calantha finishes her heat stroke. Before leaving, Marry bought Calantha enough food for the next three days.

After that, Calantha was alone in the room. She cooked a pack of noodles to be ready to fight in the next heat. She lay down on the bed, immediately, her body reacted violently. It was like a wave that crashed against the shore without any anticipation. Calantha whirled on the bed, her breath ragged, she scratched her body uncomfortably.

“So annoying… Someone… help me…”

The sound of sobbing and panting in the quiet room warmed the air. If there was an alpha in this place, she would definitely be impossible to contain herself. Calantha was only an F-grade omega but she was still a normal omega. She could still get alpha because she was in heat. Though it wouldn't be too intense and she couldn't affect high level alphas, except for her destined mate who will go crazy because of her.

Calantha's clothes were gradually removed. The whole body was not covered with a piece of cloth. She tried to crawl up close to the wall, she pressed her hot white body against the wall. The cold and rough feeling of the wall made the body a little more comfortable.

Calantha's mind was now flooded with images of Marcus- her alpha. The bite in the gland was hot, the passionate scent of alcohol lingered around the omega as if a hand was gently patting her.

"What to do now?"

Calantha couldn't take it anymore. She aspired to her alpha. She wanted to be marked, to be possessed. The part between her legs was wet, and she longed to be violated. Her fingers shyly ducked underneath, they lightly rubbed the outside… Calantha was not like the other girls, there was no hair on her secret part. It was clean, smooth, and rosy. “The flower bud” shyly opened and closed wet with water. As soon as she touched it, it immediately sucked her finger. Calantha was afraid of this feeling, she hurried in and removed her hand, then both hands clutched the bed sheet. She twisted her legs tightly and rubbed them together again. She was going crazy.

Calantha had been through a lot of heat. But never had she felt as uncomfortable as now. The omega that had been temporarily marked by alpha was not inherently subject to this torture.

Calantha's consciousness gradually blurred. She fainted from fatigue. She knew this crazy heat definitely had something to do with Marcus. Calantha suddenly felt afraid. That man could be her destined alpha.
