Episode 7

Pheromones identify each individual; each one has a specific aroma.

It was clear that his body had a problem, a pheromone imbalance, so he was not able to release his scent, and that was what was making him sicker and slowly finishing him off.

The excessive use of suppressants was the cause of this, and the consumption of medications worsened his condition.

Aiden left the research center very late at night. The bodyguards were still there waiting for him. He got into the car with several documents that he was allowed to take out and also a laptop.

"I need to check your bag," said one of the bodyguards, seeing that he was carrying several things.

"It's classified work. I can't show it to you," Aiden said, smiling.

Any electronic device was forbidden inside the house. It was a strict order from Mrs. Iria. She couldn't risk Aiden giving information about his condition and whereabouts to the outside.

"Please, Mr. Allen, be cooperative," insisted the bodyguard.

"As I said, it's classified work," Aiden refused.

Since he was stubborn about leaving his things, the bodyguards got into the car and headed toward the house and reported what had happened to the chief bodyguard.

A two-hour drive was too long to get to the research center right away if needed, so Aiden brought several things to equip his room, which he would use as a laboratory.

However, the chief bodyguard did not let him into the house without first checking his bag, but Aiden refused because he knew they would take everything he had gotten.

It was annoying to be held up and questioned.

"Hand over the things," repeated the chief bodyguard.

A very large, bear-like Alpha stood in front of him; all the other bodyguards looked small.

"You have no right to go through my things," Aiden said with a serious look.

At this point, he was already irritated.

"Don't you see that I just got back from work? I'm tired, and it won't be pleasant to see me upset," Aiden warned.

A short omega confronted by a large Alpha who could crush him at any moment was something interesting and dangerous to see.

Michael watched the whole event from the window with little Isaac in his arms.

"Your dad is cool," he said in awe.

He couldn't believe that the person confronting an Alpha right now was the same person who used to be locked up in his room.

All the surrounding bodyguards started laughing at Aiden's words since it was impossible for an omega to defeat an Alpha.

Aiden didn't look down or flinch at the taunts; the biggest cause of destruction could be the smallest being in the world. He still didn't know how to take down this big Alpha bear, but he would find a way; everyone has a weakness after all.

Seeing that Aiden did not move from his spot and stared at him fearlessly, the chief bodyguard let out a bit of his pheromone to oppress him and make him obey; an omega could not resist that.

As expected, Aiden's face changed, but contrary to what he thought, he began to laugh with wide, surprised eyes and approached him.

"Is this what they call pheromones to oppress? Are you using them against me right now?" Aiden asked, amused.

His instincts told him to obey and hand over the suitcase, but his determination was stronger.

There were different ways to use pheromones, and this was clearly to oppress. Aiden could feel it throughout his body, and since it was a sick body, the chief bodyguard's alpha pheromones were poisonous.

He could clearly feel his whole body boiling; the smell of iron rose from his throat to his entire mouth, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Even in that state, he continued laughing as he looked at the Alpha in front of him.

Michael quickly pulled Isaac away from the window to prevent him from seeing such a scene and ran upstairs to the room, scared.

Aiden stood there, holding his suitcase tightly, still laughing. The bodyguards were dismayed by his appearance.

"... Go on, keep expelling your pheromones," Aiden said, looking at the chief bodyguard.

"He's crazy," said the chief bodyguard, stepping out of his way.

"Tell me something I don't know." With the way clear and his mouth bloodied, Aiden entered the house with his precious suitcase in hand.

Michael hurried down after leaving Isaac in the crib and helped Aiden up to his room.

"... I want to take a shower," Aiden said, his voice ragged. His whole body was boiling inside; he needed to cool off.

Michael led him to the bathroom. Aiden's entire body was covered in the aggressive pheromone of that Alpha, which was also affecting him.

He turned on the shower, helped him undress, and put him under the water. The next instant, a baby's cry was heard from the other room. Aiden felt more irritable; the baby's crying was giving him a severe headache.

"... Go calm him down, please," he ordered Michael.

He couldn't bear to hear him cry.

Michael immediately ran to Isaac's side, leaving Aiden safely behind.

The cold water calmed his body, but it wasn't enough.

"So troublesome," Aiden said to himself.

The part that hurt the most was the back of his neck; the burning in that area was unbearable. Aiden felt that spot with his hand; there was the gland from which the pheromone came out.

A delicate and troublesome place. Having a pheromone imbalance, everything inside him was accumulated, unable to expel pheromones, everything circulated inside, burning him.

After calming down a bit, Aiden took a towel and walked to his room, took the suppressants he had inside the cabinet, and looked at them.

He knew it would hurt him, but he had to understand how it worked when applied. He opened the cap covering the auto-injector and applied it to his arm.
