Chapter 1



To Baekhyun, having a mate is the most important thing in his life. His ma and his pa have always told him that a mate is someone who will always love their other significant half and will always stay with each other. Mates will continue to protect each other and sacrifice for each other.

Moreover for an omega. An omega who has an alpha mate will be the happiest person ever because an alpha is, not only territorial, but also possessive and deeply in love with an omega who will bear his child for him.

It’s hard to be far from your mate when you have found them. Once you lay your eyes on them, your brain will always be filled with the thought of them. Your nose will be filled with the sweet and enchanting smell of them. Your hands will want to touch them and drag them close to you. You just simply want to be with them for every second.

Being raised as a meek omega, Baekhyun knows what his duty is. He will have to be with his alpha and calm his sense at any time, because apparently an omega has the scent to be able to calm an alpha at any cost. He will have to love his alpha, even though there are stories about mates who don’t love each other, because they will love each other right at the moment they find each other. He will have to bear children for his alpha to continue the lineage. He will have to spend the rest of his life with his alpha and their family.

Baekhyun is waiting for the time for him to find his alpha.

He hears so many stories about how mates from his parents and also from the elders of the pack.

The time might be modern and there are no more packs like the ones before, because apparently they have lived in the house buildings and no longer in forests, but a pack for them is like a big family who has the previous elders who had lived together since many years ago.

Baekhyun is now twenty five, working in the editing team for novel, and has been the employee of the year for the straight two years. He has never been so proud of himself.

His ma and pa are living calmly in their main house in the countryside while Baekhyun chooses to live all by himself in the city in order to be able to work and be independent. He is able to cook and clean. Just the typical of omega, Baekhyun will be able to make his alpha’s life happy and content.

Just like the usual, this morning makes Baekhyun wakes up in a good mood. After finishing up a simple breakfast for him which consists of a cup of warm tea and a couple of sandwiches, he takes a very cold shower to chase away any drowsiness because it’s already nearing the end of the month and the novel he is working on the editing will meet its deadline soon. He will have to finish the editing at least in two more days.







“Good morning, Baekhyun!” Joohyun, his senior in editing, greets him.

Baekhyun smiles as he drops his messenger bag onto his seat, “Good morning, noona.”

Joohyun hands him his newest work which he hands her for check yesterday. She smiles proudly, “You do this really great, Baekhyun. No wonder, such an employee of the year.” She teases him.

He huffs, palming his pinkish cheeks at the compliment.

“Noona, don’t say that. It’s embarrassing.”

Joohyun laughs, patting his head before she walks back to her own desk at the back of the room. She is the head of the editing team.

“Alright, if you said so, little Baekhyunnie.”

Baekhyun laughs before he starts doing his job, hoping that he can finish it faster from the estimated time.

Sunyoung, another member of editing team, comes through the door while holding onto a tray with coffees.

“Good morning, everyone! Free coffee for each one of you!” She announces happily, before dropping one cup on top of the desk of each person. Baekhyun sends her a thankful smile before putting his glasses on and starts working for real.

With eyes staring straight onto the display of the computer in front of him, his fingers begin to type very quickly, just the same to the others in the room.







The lunch break is nearing and Baekhyun stretches himself against his seat when he hits the button ‘save’ to keep his hard work. Joohyun is still making some calls to the important people and Sunyoung is sipping onto the last drop of her coffee. Baekhyun grins.

“Should we head for lunch? I think we could use some food into our belly.” He suggests, which earns a squeal of agreement from Sunyoung.

“Sure! I hear that the main dish for the lunch today is the beef slices stir fry with veggies! Come on, unnie! We need to recharge!”

Joohyun nods, dropping the papers from her fingers back onto the desk before she joins the two of them by the door.

The short walk towards the lunch room is filled with their chatter before they finally grab a tray for each and it soon is filled with food to tone down their hunger. Baekhyun can’t help but to lick his lips because the food really looks delicious.

“Let’s just join the sales team!” Sunyoung offers, to which the two of them nod in agreement.

Their table is full by the time they have seven people sitting together to enjoy their own respective lunch.

Gossips sure are moving too fast, because Baekhyun finds himself leaning towards the sales team who is now telling them all about the news.

“I’m sure you haven’t heard this yet so prepare yourself.” Kibum, the head of the sales team, is telling them.

“Yes, yes, what is it, oppa?” Sunyoung asks.

“You know, our boss is admitted to the hospital last night,” he starts, erupting gasps from the people around him.

“Oh God, what happens with him? Is he okay?” Joohyun asks worriedly.

“He is a strong old man. I’m sure boss will be fine soon.” Minho, another member of sales team, adds.

“I hope boss will be back soon. The office feels so empty without his jokes.” Baekhyun mutters against his chopsticks. Everyone nods at his words.

Kibum hums before continuing, “This is where the news starts.”

Everyone’s attention is on him, once again.

“While boss will still be recovering in the hospital, his son will be the one leading the office as a temporary boss.”

“Oh my, is he handsome?” The girl from the sales team, Wheein, asks with a smile.

“Oh, shut it, silly.” Sunyoung laughs at her.

“From what I heard, he is damn handsome.” Kibum says, whistling afterwards. Everyone coos at his affirmation.

“And he is an alpha.”

All the omegas are erupting in giggles, including Baekhyun, because everyone knows how weak omegas are towards a mention of an alpha. It’s hard to ignore that butterflies in their stomach as an alpha is mentioned in their conversation.

“Do you know how old he is? Is he mated yet?”

“Uh, I’m not sure about that. You can’t think that I know everything, girls!”

“Now, now, there are only fifteen minutes of time before lunch break is over. Finish everything in your tray!”

“Aye, mom.”



Baekhyun doesn’t really think about it; but this is the point where his life will turn upside down.

To Jongin, having a mate is the most important thing in his life. Most of his friends have already found their mate and his parents are asking him on when he will be able to bring back a mate. His parents have always told him that a mate is someone who he will always love and will always stay with each other. Mates will continue to protect each other and sacrifice for each other.

Moreover for an alpha. An alpha who has an omega mate will be the happiest person ever because an omega is, not only adorable, but also will be the only thing an alpha can see in his eyes.

It’s hard to be far from your mate when you have found them. Once you lay your eyes on them, your brain will always be filled with the thought of them. Your nose will be filled with the sweet and enchanting smell of them. Your hands will want to touch them and drag them close to you. You just simply want to be with them for every second.

Being raised as a proud and a gentle alpha, Jongin knows what his duty is. He will have to be with his omega and protect them at any time, because apparently an alpha is territorial and will not forgive anyone who touches his mate. He will have to love his omega at any cost, even though there are stories about mates who don’t love each other, because they will love each other right at the moment they find each other. He will have to give children for his omega to bear to continue the lineage. He will have to spend the rest of his life with his omega and their family.

Jongin is waiting for the time for him to find his omega.

Jongin is now twenty four, working in the supplier company for food and goods, and has been at the peak of his career ever since he joins the company since a year ago. He has never been so proud of himself.

His parents are living calmly in their main house in the countryside while Jongin chooses to live all by himself in the city in order to be able to work and be independent. He will continue to work to gain money in order to send money to his parents and to be able to feed his future family later. Just the typical of alpha, Jongin will be able to make his omega’s life happy and content.

Just like the usual, this morning makes Jongin wakes up in a good mood. After finishing up a simple breakfast for him which consists of a glass of sparkling water and a bowl of cereals, he takes a very cold shower to chase away any drowsiness because it’s the busy week where he and his teams are working on making sure that every client’s order will be delivered. He will have to re-check the list as soon as possible.



“Hey, Jongin! Still an early riser, I see.” It’s Joonmyeon who greets him at the entrance of the company as the senior has just arrived as well.

“The same to you, hyung. You don’t need to take care of your mate? The last I heard from you that he is sick?”

Joonmyeon sighs amusedly, “Stupid alpha and their pride to be taken care of. I’m just worried but he keeps telling me that he is fine and will be better soon. So, I have no choice other than working now.”

Jongin laughs as the two of them enter their office.

“I will have to give two thumbs up to Yixing hyung for saying that.”

Joonmyeon sends him a look, “Don’t even try.”







Jongin sits on his chair as he listens to his assistant, Sooyoung, telling him the new order from the buyer they will be delivering the goods to.

“You do great, Sooyoung. Very good.”

The young girl beams at the compliment before bowing gratefully to him, and then she leaves the room to tell the logistic team about the addition.

The marketing team he is in is a medium-sized team, where it consists of four people: Jongin, his senior Joonmyeon as the supervisor of the team, his junior Sooyoung, and a new worker named Yongseon. They have been doing an amazing job in the teamwork and Jongin can’t be more proud of himself for being the leader of the team.







“Jongin, I heard there seems to be a bit problem with the order of goods coming from the Sweet Delicacy.” Yongseon, the new worker but a noona for Jongin, speaks as she makes her way into the office while holding onto a small note from the logistic.

“What’s going on?”

“The order we receive two weeks ago consists of three goods, but when we make the confirmation call yesterday noon, the client says they order four things. What do we do now?”

Jongin hums, clearly thinking. Sooyoung is still out at the upper floors, telling every team about the addition of order while Joonmyeon is out in an important meeting.

“Noona, are you busy now? Do you have any important job you have to do soon?”

The older girl blinks before she shakes her head no.

“How do you think about paying a visit to Sweet Delicacy? We don’t need a miscommunication in the peak of the week.”

“Alright. Let me post a note for Sooyoung.”

Jongin nods as he packs his thing for a moment and then he is out of his office with his co-worker trailing behind him. There is once a case like this which results in a great loss for the company and also losing a client. The company doesn’t need something like this for the second time and Jongin thinks it will be better for him to check it out with the client himself before sending the goods to them.







Sweet Delicacy is restaurant mixed with a small café, where the place sells great food and delicious pastries. Jongin hasn’t had the chance to taste it because he is not a big fan of sweet things but maybe he really should try it in the future.

As he drives the company car along the road, his co-worker is repeating the order to him and he nods on each word.

It’s still in the morning and only a few customers are filling the place, as Jongin can see while parking the car. They head towards the staff office straightly and is greeted with the manager of place.

“We are very sorry about the inconvenience, but our boss is out of the town.” The manager sends them an apologetic smile.

Jongin smiles back, “No, it’s alright. We just need to confirm the ordered goods. Can we meet with the one responsible in ordering?”

The manager nods and calls for the head chef, as Jongin is handed the list of the orders while waiting.







The door from the kitchen is opened when someone else walks out and Jongin can smell the sweet scent of cream and chocolate, but there’s something spicy and tangy in it.

He can feel his head is pounding from a sudden pain strike and his heart is beating out of control. Jongin holds onto the list paper with quivering fingers.

The moment he snaps his head up, his eyes instantly lock with the ones owned by the new someone who has just walked out of the kitchen door. His breath is knocked out of him and he feels how there’s this warm and heat erupting from the inside of his body.

“I’m truly sorry for the wait.” The person speaks, still untangling his apron from his waist, not aware of the burning stare Jongin is sending to his direction.

“What can I help you –” The person stops as he lifts his head up, finding the stare Jongin is currently giving him and that is when Jongin knows that he has found his mate.

An omega; his omega is standing right in front of him.

Jongin has never been this sure for his entire life.

A stretch is what Baekhyun needs as he closes the document of script he has been working for hours ever since the lunch break ends. Sunyoung is still going on her work while Joohyun is out for a sudden meeting with the other teams’ leaders. They are dividing the plus job because their other team member, an alpha named Yixing, is currently sick and having a rest. He is just glad that Yixing will be back tomorrow.

Joohyun comes through the door, looking a bit tense but overall calm.

“How’s the meeting, noona?” Baekhyun asks her, before he sips onto his water.

The girl nods at him while she walks back towards her desk.

“It’s a bit tense but okay. I just don’t expect him to come unannounced like this.” She mutters.

Both Baekhyun and Sunyoung’s attentions are locked onto their leader.

“Who?”

“The boss’ son. That alpha guy! Damn, he is really a dominant. I’m a bit scared of him.” She laughs softly.

“The alpha is here? Oh!” Sunyoung drops her work and completely forgets about it. Baekhyun chuckles.

“Yes. He comes so suddenly without any announcement, making the manager flustered.”

The three of them laugh at the image of the old manager being panicked and all.

“He will be checking every office in a moment. He has started from the first floor so you two better work on your job to show that we are not slacking off.” The leader teases the two.

Baekhyun huffs, “I have finished it just now! What else should I do?”

Sunyoung adds, “You can at least pretend that you are working on some scripts, oppa. No need to worry!”

“Alright,” he chuckles.







It takes another fifteen minutes before they hear soft murmurs from the outside of their office room. Joohyun sends the two a stare which tells that the two of them should work.

While Baekhyun is scrolling the finished document, the door to their office is opened and the dominant scent of a stranger alpha slips in.

It’s weird, because as much as Baekhyun knows he is an omega, he has always been able to refuse the temptation of submitting, but he can’t move and there’s an instinct which tells him that he should just bare his neck and submit to everything.

An alpha, a very tall one at that, enters the room and stands still at the doorway.

Sunyoung and Joohyun have greeted him with a polite greeting, but Baekhyun finds himself unable to do so.

His entire body feels hot, the feeling is very similar to the way his body reacts to his monthly heat, but it’s very weird because his heat is not due in another week.

With a newfound courage, Baekhyun lifts his head up to see who is the person that can make him feel like this.

An alpha. A very dominant and strong scent invades his every sense, making Baekhyun keens against his desk. His fingers clutch onto his seat as Baekhyun can feel his blood all rush so fast and how hard his heart beats are beating in his ears.

The alpha looks around the room, eyes staring seriously on each of the team member before lastly, those brown orbs land on Baekhyun.

That’s the moment where Baekhyun thinks he is losing his breath because it’s his alpha mate standing there at the doorway.

Finally, his mate has appeared in his life.
