Episode 2

"Sir?", the woman called again.

"I think I read that book too much", the young man smiled.

A dream, it's a dream, he repeated to himself several times.

When he suffered from nightmares, he had the perfect way to wake up from them.

He placed one of his hands on his forearm and began to pinch himself hard, although it hurt, this method always worked to wake up from those nightmares.

Only this time it didn't work.

He repeated the same thing on his other arm, but it didn't work either.

The woman was stunned by his behavior, the young man was always a quiet person despite his state of health, so it was strange to see him acting that way.

"... Should I call the doctor?", she asked worriedly.

The young man was already taking several medications, it was a matter of time before one of them started to affect him, which is why he might be acting that way.

As nothing worked to wake up from the dream, the young man smiled and went back upstairs to his room.

"I'll go back to sleep, maybe that will work," he mentioned as he climbed the stairs.

"Wait, Sir, you have to take your medication," the woman insisted.

"Medication for what?", the young man asked, stopping halfway up the stairs.

"... To help you sleep, to stabilize your moods, for your concentration, for your headache, for your stomach ache, and some vitamins," the woman mentioned one by one.

She was in charge of giving him his medication every day, special medications for omegas, it was already a habit.

The young man was impressed to hear so many medications named.

"I don't need them, I feel perfectly fine, maybe I just need a little rest", said the young man.

He had never taken so many medications in his life, only once when he had a severe infection from eating something bad, otherwise, he was in good health, he just needed to rest his body from all the accumulated work.

"... But Sir, you need to take them, it was the doctor's indication," the woman continued to plead.

If anything were to happen to the young man while he was in her care, she would be held responsible and would bear all the blame and punishment that came with it.

Seeing her worried, the young man went downstairs and took some vitamins.

"This is enough, I really am fine, don't worry too much", he said with a smile.

Although still uneasy, the woman only nodded, she could not force the young man to do something he did not want to do, only ask that nothing bad would happen to him.

The young man continued to smile as he looked at the woman.

"I really am fine, is my health that bad?", he asked.

"... Generally, you have trouble sleeping, mood swings, body aches, especially headaches, the doctor said your condition was not that serious, but that you should take care of yourself... and...and not abuse controlled substances again, or it could get worse," the woman explained a little embarrassed.

"Substances?", the young man questioned.

"Mmm, well, I have no problem with those things, so everything is fine," he said with a smile.

As he kept himself busy with work, he didn't have the time or desire to pay attention to those things, even though he had been offered to sell them to him several times.

"Are you sure you're okay?", the woman asked, looking at the smiling young man.

"Yes, very good, in fact, I feel as if I have been reborn", he replied with a big smile.

He fixed his gaze on the large window where the rays of the warm sun were peeking through, it seemed to be ten o'clock in the morning, soon it would be time to eat.

"Is there enough food in the kitchen?" he asked.

"What?, oh, yes, if there is anything you want in particular, you can tell me", the woman expressed.

"In that case, let's prepare something together, there's no one else in this house, is there?" asked the young man.

"No, there's no one, your husband comes to visit once every three months, ...your mother comes to the house once a month, that's all," the woman explained.

The young man received no visitors, no one came to see him, it was just her and the young man who lived in this house.

"My mother?", the young man questioned.

The woman nodded a little fearfully, the young man's mother was a person she disliked.

"I see, there are a lot of things I want to ask you, but first the food, that's the important thing," the young man expressed as he headed for the kitchen.

Although the woman tried to stop him, it was nice to prepare the food with him.

"I didn't think you knew how to cook," the woman said, seeing the large amount of food on the table.

"Ha ha ha ha, there were several things, I think I got a little excited," the young man laughed.

He had never seen so much pantry in one place, he usually always saved, so he had to take advantage now that he had things in abundance.

"Let's eat," the young man invited the woman to sit down to eat.

"Me?, it wouldn't be appropriate," the woman refused.

"Why not?, I wouldn't like to eat alone, besides, we both prepared it, it's only fair that we both enjoy it too," the young man insisted.

Timidly, the woman sat down, and soon they both began to eat and enjoy the treats, the young man was a very pleasant person.

...****************...

"Well, this will be the game, each one says what they know about the other, and the winner will get a prize," said the young man.

After eating, they both went to the living room to take a break.

He had to know what he was up against, since it didn't seem to be a dream, since he hadn't woken up.

"Let's start with our names," the young man spoke.

"Okay, your name is Mikkel Hyde", the woman said first with a smile.

The young man nodded, it was his same name, but not the last name.

"My turn, your name is... is", the young man murmured.

"Romy, my name is Romy, ha ha ha, I think I'm going to be the winner," laughed the woman named Romy.

"Now it's my turn, you are twenty-four years old, you are a recessive omega, you worked in a small shop owned by your family, you have been married for a year, your husband's name is Damen Kamprad a dominant Alpha, you don't have a good relationship and you are about to get divorced," Romy continued speaking.

Upon hearing the name, the young man ran upstairs to the room, searching and searching until he found a credit card that was well kept on top of a large shelf.

He didn't know how, or if this was a dream from having read that book so much, but now he was inside of it.

Romy followed him for fear that something had happened, she saw Mikkel standing there looking at something in his hands.

"Let's go shopping," Mikkel said, turning to look at Romy with a big smile as he held up the credit card.
