Chapter 4



To Kyungsoo, having a mate is the most unimportant thing in his life. His mother has 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. That is what he heard. But he didn’t believe it. He doesn’t believe it.

But for him, it’s bullshit.

Growing up as a strong omega, Kyungsoo refuses to acknowledge what his real duty is. He is not going to be with his alpha and calm his sense at any time. He is not going to love his alpha. He is not going to bear children for his alpha to continue the lineage. He is not going to spend the rest of his life with his alpha.

Kyungsoo does not want to find his alpha.

Alphas are sick. They are jerks. They are bastards. They are arrogant. They are bossy. They think they are the best.

His bastard of a father left him alone with his mother when he was six. He wasn’t so big at that time but he understood everything. He understood every single word his father had spoken to his mother and him; slut, whore, bitch, and good for nothing omegas.

His mother cried herself to sleep every night for the whole month after his father had left. Kyungsoo clutched onto the door while watching his mother suffered from loving such a fucking bastard and at the tender age of six, he vowed to himself to never submit to anyone.

He might be an omega, but he has feelings. He is also a living being and he is not going to be ruled over by some arrogant bastards who think they can own everything.

Kyungsoo fights for omegas rights. He doesn’t want omegas to be stepped over, as if they worth nothing. They can think, they can make their own decision, they can feel, and they can speak. They are no different from every other one, despite having differed into statuses.

Alphas in the town are the biggest jerks ever. Kyungsoo watches them treat the omegas like trash. They fuck them and then leave them alone. They use them to their own satisfaction before spitting on their face, calling them with bad names.

Many alphas are trying to get into his pants. Kyungsoo glares at them and makes sure they know where they stand. No one could get away by touching his ass without having their arm broken. He might be an omega, but he can take care of himself.











Kyungsoo is now twenty five, working at Sweet Delicacy, a restaurant mixed with a small café, and has been the head chef for three years. He has never been so proud of himself.

His mother is staying by herself in the countryside while Kyungsoo 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. He makes sure to send money every month to his mother and makes sure that she won’t be depressed again. The last he heard from her is that she has been recovering and has grown a hobby of gardening.

Just like the usual, this morning makes Kyungsoo wakes up and goes to make a call to his mother to check for her. He is doing it as habit, because he simply misses his mother and also wants to tell her that he would never leave her alone. After finishing up a simple breakfast for him which consists of a cup of milk tea and the croissants he baked yesterday, he takes a very cold shower to chase away any drowsiness because it’s going to be another busy day in the kitchen.











Kyungsoo enters the barely opened restaurant and goes straight to the locker room. On his way there, he meets the manager who has been such a good friend to him for the past years.

“Hey, Kyungsoo! Good morning!”

“Good morning, Jongdae.” He greets with a small smile to the omega.

He loves working here because this place is full of kind omegas and they are helping each other. The owner of the place is a woman goes with the name of Moonbyul, a twin sister to alpha Minseok. Jongdae is mated to Minseok and that makes him a brother-in-law with the boss.

“Let’s see. Is boss coming today?”

“No,” Jongdae shakes his head, “she is surveying the branch location so we will have to do by ourselves again today. She will be back in two days, don’t worry.”

Kyungsoo nods his head and waves bye to Jongdae before he walks into the kitchen. His assistant is already there and currently heating the over.

“Good morning, oppa!” His assistant, Seungwan, greets him with her smile. Kyungsoo smiles back before they start preparing the pastries for the day.

To Chanyeol, having a mate is the most unimportant thing in his life. Most of his friends have already found their mate and his father keeps asking him on when he will be able to bring back a mate. His father has 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. That is what he heard. But he didn’t believe it. He doesn’t believe it.

But for him, it’s bullshit.

Growing up as an independent alpha, Chanyeol refuses to acknowledge what his duty is. He is not going to be with his omega and protect them at any time. He is not going to love his omega at any cost. He is not going to give children for his omega to bear to continue the lineage. He is not going to spend the rest of his life with his omega.

Chanyeol does not want to find his omega.

Omegas are clingy. They are good for nothing. They will just bring sorrow and misfortune. They are not worth his time.

His mother died, leaving his father to mourn over her for so many years. He respects his father’s love for his mother, but he doesn’t understand why he would torture himself right after the death of his mother. Sure thing, his parents were mates and they loved each other very deeply, but she was gone now and he needed to move on. It’s no use to mourn over her death for so long.

It took so many years before his father could finally stand back on his feet. The old man chooses to continue running the company he treasures the most. He might look okay now, but Chanyeol knows that his father is still mourning over his mother once in a while, crying over a single photo of her.

Chanyeol doesn’t like seeing his father acting like that. The word ‘love’ has slowly become some sort of burden and obsession to his father; that is what he thinks. He doesn’t want to end up like his father. Mated and suffering alone.

Omegas in the towns are all acting like sluts. They sell their body for some cash. They move their ass to lure sick alphas. They are okay with being used. They submit to whoever they see can treat them can give them money; can give them the temporary affection. Chanyeol is disgusted by it.

Many omegas are trying to woo him, because of his high status and his money. Chanyeol makes sure to keep his aura strong to notify that he is not interested in being involved in omegas’ sick games. He is doesn’t need an omega. Omegas are nuisance.











Chanyeol is now twenty five, currently in the process of taking over his father’s company, an editing and printing company, as his father had been admitted to the hospital last night. His father has been so old and he has a series of sickness but the old man insists on working so he doesn’t have the choice to refuse what he wants.

Not like the usual, this morning makes Chanyeol wakes up in a bit of nervousness. After finishing up a simple breakfast for him which consists of a cup of black coffee and a few bagels from the bakery near his place, he takes a very cold shower to chase away any drowsiness because today he will be attending the work as the new boss while his father is hospitalized.


As soon as he steps into the company, he is greeted by the manager and immediately goes to walk all over the building. He is proud of his father for building such a big and successful company like this.

He gets into a meeting with all of the teams’ leaders to introduce himself as the boss’ son who will now take over the position. All the employees are surprisingly kind and friendly. Chanyeol almost can’t believe over how blended the alphas and omegas in this company. No alphas staring down at the omegas and no omegas trying to lure alphas. It’s like everyone here goes along one to another.

Chanyeol is led by the manager to visit every team’s working room and he starts on each floor.

Ten meters from where he is standing, Chanyeol can already smell something so sweet, so alluring, and it almost makes his inner self wants to growl from the mixed of scents from everyone but he holds himself back.

As he gets closer to a certain room, he looks at the hanging name tag: Editing Room (Novels).

The door opens and Chanyeol smells something so sickeningly sweet and he keeps himself straight. His inner self could be telling him to run inside but he keeps his feet rooted to the floor.

Chanyeol glances all over the room, finding his eyes locked onto a certain male sitting on the chair behind the desk. He knows what that means; the sweet scent and the tugging feeling. He just doesn’t want to admit that he has just found his omega in this room.

The team’s leader introduces each of the members inside of the room and he hears the last name spoken to him.

“And the other one is Byun Baekhyun, the second editor in charge.”

Chanyeol darts his eyes back to the mentioned omega and he watches as the male bends his head down in submission.

“Good work, everyone.” Chanyeol speaks, maintaining his dominant aura. “I’m going to take over the company for a while because my father has been admitted to the hospital as most of you have already heard. So for the time we will be working together, I will need your help. Thank you and have a nice evening.”

He spins on his heels and walks out of the room, leaving the omega. He doesn’t have time for this. Work is work.











On the next day, Chanyeol accidentally meets his omega and he glances at him before turning around the corner and closes the door behind his back.







Chanyeol is working in his father’s office. So far, the employees are doing such a good job. All of the sudden, the door is knocked and he says, “Come in.”

His omega’s scent fills his senses and Chayeol’s head snaps towards the door.

“What is it?” He questions, watching the omega closes the door behind his back and fidgets around.

“I... Joohyun noona needs me to... give these papers to you... Sir.”

He nods his head. “Put them there.”

The omega is trembling while putting the papers down and Chanyeol locks his gaze on him. The papers fall down and the omega drops onto his knees to collect them before muttering a soft apology. The alpha doesn’t even respond to him.

Chanyeol keeps his gaze onto the omega even though the male doesn’t even look at him. The omega walks towards the door before stopping, “M-Mr. Park? T-This might be so sudden but... I... I’m... We are- we are ma-”

Chanyeol feels his ear ring and he keeps his gaze strong. “Get out.”

The omega meekly calls, “Sir?”

“Get out.”

The omega trembles and blinks, before his eyes glance somewhere else. “Mr. Park, we are mat-”

“I said get out!” Chanyeol growls loudly, roaring in annoyance.

The omega whimpers before he runs out of the room in fear. Chanyeol sighs and he massages his temple.











On the next morning, Chanyeol finds himself fidgeting in caution. His nose keeps smelling something so sweet that resembles his omega’s scent but he doesn’t think into the detail about it. That is, until he smells the distinct scent of something sweeter, something that makes his inner self roaring in possession at the thought of people smelling the same scent. He rushes out of his office, following his instinct to find the scent and he ends up onto the restroom.

As he slams the door to the restroom open, he finds his omega jolting in surprise upon seeing him there. Nothing comes out from his mouth except his breathy panting. Chanyeol hears the omega muttering a soft but strained ‘good morning, sir’ before he makes his way towards the door.

Chanyeol can’t let him walk away like this and he clasps his hand onto the omega’s wrist, before he maneuvering them and traps the male against the wall.

“E-Excuse me, sir,” the omega whispers softly, trying to tug his hand out of his grip but Chanyeol doesn’t move away and instead keeps staring at him. He smells so good. Chanyeol dips his whole face into the crook of the omega’s sweaty neck and takes a deep breath of his sweet scent.

“M-Mr. Park, what are... you doing?”

Chanyeol takes a tight grip onto his wrist while his other hand holds onto his hip. He hears the omega whimpers.

“Mr. Park, please l-let go -”

Chanyeol growls lowly. His inner self doesn’t like the idea of letting him walk out of the restroom smelling like this.

“Don’t move,” Chanyeol orders, “You are in heat.”

The omega gasps, writhing under his touch and Chanyeol tugs the male closer to lather his scent on him. His possessiveness comes out without he even realizes and that takes him a few seconds before he starts trailing kisses all over the skin. The omega whimpers submissively and Chanyeol drags his hand along the male’s arm, loving the goose bumps covering the skin.

As Kyungsoo is pulling out the tray of freshly baked breads, the door from the kitchen is opened and Jongdae comes calling for him.

“Kyungsoo, can you go out for a moment?

“What’s wrong?” He puts the baked goods onto the cooling racks.

Jongdae sighs. “Some people from the supplier company are here. They need to confirm the ordered goods.”

“Did you put in the order that day, Seungwan?” He questions his assistant.

“Yes! I did, oppa!” Seungwan nods her head frantically.

“Alright. Keep your eyes on the over, Seungwan! And keep making the meringue!”

Kyungsoo walks out of the kitchen, pushing the door open while trying to untie the knot of his apron.

“I’m truly sorry for the wait.” He says, still untangling his apron from his waist.

He lifts his head up and says, “What can I help you –”, but stops upon finding someone is standing right in front of him and he surprisingly has a very… interesting smell.

An alpha; his alpha is standing right in front of him. The supplier company’s worker is his alpha and Kyungsoo curses his luck for meeting him. The alpha fidgets around and Kyungsoo knows what’s currently in his mind. So without wasting any more time, right after finishing what’s need to be confirmed about the ordered goods, he makes sure to tell the alpha that he is not interested.

“Look, Mr. Do—”

“Listen. I don’t have time for this.”

“Uh, are you busy? Should I come back later?”

He sighs and gives a glare at the alpha male. “No. You should never come back.”

“What? But we are m—”

“I don’t need you to say it because we are not. I don’t need it.” Kyungsoo says sternly, hissing at him.

“B-But I’m your alpha—”

Kyungsoo growls threateningly. No one says their status in front of him.

“Never, and when I say never you better remember it for the rest of your life, never say your status in front of me. I’m not going to submit to you like any other omega out there just because you are higher than me in term of social status.”

He huffs in annoyance. “Just go. And don’t ever try to come here again.”











On the next day, when Seulgi, the one who is in charge of cashier counter, is sick, Kyungsoo finds himself standing behind the counter. He works like usual, giving customers what they want, but he doesn’t expect to see the alpha to be standing by the opening.

Kyungsoo chooses to ignore him, of course. Who does he think he is? Coming unannounced like that and want to have Kyungsoo submitting to him? No fucking way. He won’t give in. He is not in the mood to deal with the alpha but the male is so stubborn because he keeps coming back for a whole week, then he stalks him by sitting on the corner of the café for another whole week.

On Saturday, Sweet Delicacy closes two hours earlier than the usual time and Kyungsoo grunts in annoyance because the male is still sitting there.

“We are closing. Please get out.” He says with a sigh.

The alpha nods and walks out. Kyungsoo heaves a sigh and goes to put the chairs back to the place before he walks to the locker room to change out of his chef uniform.

After the workers close the place and locks every door, Kyungsoo walks away from the place and goes straight to cross the street.

“Can we talk now?” A voice calls behind him and Kyungsoo flinches in surprise. As he glances back, the alpha is standing there.

“Why are you still here?” He breathes out in surprise. The alpha locks their eyes together and Kyungsoo refuses to admit that the male has a pair of beautiful eyes.

“I was waiting for you. Please let me talk. We have not had the chance to talk.” He almost begs.

“There is nothing to talk about.”

Kyungsoo then walks away. Can’t he take the hint that he is not interested?

“Please!” The alpha says. Kyungsoo flinches because he follows right behind him. With wide eyes, he stares at the male.

“Why are you following me? Go away!” He huffs, rolling his eyes in annoyance and fastening his pace, but the alpha is still following after him.

“Please! I don’t mean any harm. I’m sorry that our first meeting left such a bad impression on you but we really need to talk about us!”

Kyungsoo ignores him, still walking away. He just hopes he can get away faster.

“Kyungsoo-ssi, please hear me out!”

Kyungsoo stops on his track right after he hears his name. He glances at the stubborn alpha, giving him a look of mixed of anger and annoyance and something else that he himself can’t understand.

“I don’t know you so stop following me around!” He snaps at the male.

“I’m your mate, why would you say you don’t know your life partner?” The alpha states, as if he is talking about the weather.

Kyungsoo’s eyes widen and he stutters a banter, but failing in forming a word. Fuck him. Fuck that alpha. How dare he announces their status towards him when it’s clear as fuck that Kyungsoo wants nothing to do with him?

Panic fills Kyungsoo because now they are now bonded for the first stage. He could almost hear the inner thoughts of the alpha. Fuck. Kyungsoo sends him a death glare and he could just kill him if he could.

“Uh... So, talk?” The alpha says softly and Kyungsoo is holding himself back from pouncing on him and slapping the smile off of his face. He wants to refuse but he can’t even let the words out of his mouth. It’s like his inner self is forcing him to submit to the alpha. No fucking way.

“I need to sit.” He mutters lowly, indicating that he will, at least, listen to what the alpha is about to say before he will leave him alone.

The alpha beams up at him (Kyungsoo is not going to admit that he looks kinda cute) then he starts blabbering about taking him to get some latte or cheese cake. Kyungsoo says nothing as his legs bring him to follow after the alpha.
