Dos

With last quick glance in the rear view mirror of the car,he said thanks to Aiden as the other smiled at him.

As soon as he stepped out of the car,the evening breeze soon enveloped him.He silently shivered and mentally scolded himself for not bringing something to shield himself from the cold.He is naturally prone to cold since omegas have weaker immune system than the other kinds.

He approached the entrance and nodded at the guard before entering.A waiter guided him towards a private dining room of the restaurant and he assumes would be too obvious to ask.His parents would not meet a family on public.And he was not asked to have a simple dinner for himself but he was ordered to do so and wait for the other to reject him.If the other party won't,Ethan has to meet him few more times until he finds him boring and decided to reject him.But if the person he is about to meet rejects me first hand,He would gladly appreciate it.A thing more convenient for the both of them

"Good evening."He greeted as soon as he saw everyone.He smiled towards the couple across his parents.He immediately recognized them.Who wouldn't?

"I'm happy that you are here.Son,I want you to meet Mr. Richard Lu and his spouse,Mrs. Evah Lu.Mr. and Mrs. Lu,he's our son,Ethan."His father introduced.

He handed his hand to the couple and shake their hands gently not until he froze as a sandalwood scent evade his nostrils.He immediately grasp the edge of the the table.His heart beats so fast like someone is chasing him.His knees almost gave in when he saw the shadow of a tall man in front of him.He felt his breathing become unstable.

"Derek, You're in time.I want you to meet the heir of the Chen Family,Ethan Chen."Mr. Lu said as Ethan still struggle to breath.

"Nice to meet you,Mr. Chen."

Ethan shivered upon what he said as my mother glanced at me warningly.Not wanting to embarrass his parents,he composed himself and look back only to get struck by the person behind me.An alpha!His pheromones made him shiver more.His eyes were distant and cold.Of course,who wouldn't know the famous bachelor in the country.

"I-It's nice to meet you too,Mr. Lu."

After the brief introduction,Ethan excused myself and go to the comfort room.His pheromones are making Ethan dizzy and...hot.It may induce his heat especially when he know, he's his mate.

It would have been better if it is other person but to discover that it is someone too influential as Derek Lu,He can easily tell the outcome.A dominant alpha whom everyone has there eyes of is seriously his mate?Even to himself,he can'r make himself to believe it.And his assumption was proven when sandalwood scent fill the comfort room.His heart raced and he felt his knees slowly become weak.But he remained calm and pretended that he felt nothing because he knew the alpha would not like it.

Too early,eh?

As Ethan looked up in the mirror,he caught the gaze of the alpha.His eyes pierces through his own as if evading his soul.

"I know you feel it."Derek started.Ethan felt the coldness of his voice as he decided to continue washing his hand before looking up to the alpha.

"Yes.And I know you wouldn't be here for confirmation,Mr. Lu."Ethan abruptly said knowing where this conversation will end up.

The alpha remained silent for a moment mainly like testing the water.

"I am not accepting you."

Ethan felt his chest tighten and his brain become blank.He expected it but it seems to feel different than the previous ones that had rejected him.Maybe it's because of him being his mate.He took few moments before he digested what the alpha had.

He mentally smiled to himself knowing that he was never wrong.He looked up and meet the alpha's eyes.

"Reject me in front of our family,Mr. Lu."Ethan said as he walk towards the door ready to leave but Derek spoke.

"I'm saying this to you first so you won't lose your face in front of our family and so you can think of an excuse."the alpha said.

Ethan wanted to laugh at what he said.Lose his face?Making excuse?He doesn't need any of those.He can felt his legs trembled but he stood his ground.

With a pain in his chest,Ethan looked back and replied."It's nothing new to my family,Mr. Lu.I hope you can make up enough reason for your family.As for mine,you can leave it as is."

and Ethan left holding the tears that was about to fall from his eyes.He cooed himself mentally saying how situations like this is nothing for him to get his head of.He was rejected a lot of time because most like omegas who rely most to them that to their own selves.But Ethan is nothing like that.Since the five years of forgetting his own kind,Ethan is someone who relied more on himself and not to anyone.He is comfortable more on his self than living while relying on others.
