Episode 3

Luan was searching his office from top to bottom; he'd made a mess looking for the damn suppressants. And it wasn't that he couldn't buy more, it's just that no nearby pharmacy in that city sold the kind that worked for him, the kind that stopped him from perceiving and emanating pheromones. He also hated the idea of going outside and running into the owners of the pets he treated. Some would be alphas, and they would undoubtedly notice him.

"What the hell am I going to do? I'll have to talk to Laura, no doubt. I hope she's still at home," he repeated to himself as he searched his contacts for the number of the young beta doctor.

He needed to ask for help, for her to come to his rescue once again. His heat cycle was quite regular; he didn't understand how he hadn't foreseen this.

He would definitely set alarms every month to remind him from a week before.

Tuummm Tummm…

The phone rang several times, but the doctor didn't answer.

"No choice, I'll have to cancel my appointments and go home. I can't call a taxi; I won't know if the driver is an alpha. I don't want to drive…" he thought.

That's what he was about to do, but as I said, life doesn't always give you what you want…

…♎♎♎♎♎♎♎…

In a beautiful building in the same city…

📲 Hello..

📲 Luc, it's me, your favorite person.. hehe

📲 I know it's you, squirt. What do you need?

📲 Hmmm, as cold as ever, that's why you don't have a girlfriend… anyway, Luc, you remember my little Tunny, right…

📲 Tunny? That ball of fur with legs that you kept at home? If it's her, I remember her. How could I forget her when she owes me a pair of socks and slippers?

📲 Your fault for not closing your door 🤷. Luc, I need you to help me and take her to her appointment, please. She's very delicate, and she ate something bad yesterday. I'm sure that hateful Gayta gave her something. Today, she doesn't want to eat, and she just cries. Please, Luc, help me, yes? Just take her there. I promise to pick her up. She has an appointment at 3 pm today.

📲 Are you crazy? Why would I do that? I don't even like that ball of fur, not to mention I won't push aside investors to take a ball with legs just because she ate something bad… Why don't you take her, or better yet, send Richy. After all, he's your faithful dog, hehe.

📲 I have exams at the university, and Richy can't go; Dad gave him the day off. Come on, just do it during your lunch break, please. I've already put her in her carrier; everything is inside, hehe. I'm counting on you, brother. I swear I'll make it up to you. Kissessss. -She hung up.

"Hey no, hey Nathan, nooo, damn it!!

Why the hell do I have to take the dog to the appointment? It's not even the right size for a dog 🤦. Damn it…"

Tic - "Sir?"

Tic - "Mary, come to my office for a moment, please."

Within a minute, his young assistant arrived, a rather pretty 25-year-old Omega if you ask me, but with a temper that would make any alpha run.

"Yes, sir?" the girl replied.

"Cancel my 3 pm lunch with Jhona. I have something to take care of."

"Certainly, sir. But your father called and wants to come at 4 p.m., sir. What should I tell him?"

"Again… don't say anything, just that I went out to take care of internal matters. Oh, and if he asks for coffee, give him a little salt instead of sugar, hehe."

"I can't do that, sir, hehe, at least not with your father," replied the Omega with a laugh.

"Anyway, just do what I asked, Mary." The girl nodded, and the alpha took his jacket and car keys to leave the office and pick up the puppy from home.

He hated the idea of wasting time going to take a furry ball to the doctor just because of some bad food, but if that meant he could get out of his father's lecture, he was more than happy to help.

He arrived at his house, took the carrier from the living room, and put it in the car, not without first glancing sideways at the little rat with fur that his sister claimed was a Pomeranian. He put the clinic's address in his navigator and reluctantly headed there. "I'll just leave it there," he thought, "then she'll pick it up, and I will have done my part. That way, I also got rid of my dad, and everyone's happy…"

He arrived at the clinic, got out of the car, and took out the carrier.

"Let's go, little rat," he said, laughing.

Just entering that clinic made him feel his being tremble and his heart pound. As he approached the counter, a scent flooded his nostrils.

"What is this? What's happening to me? Where is it coming from?"

He wondered deep inside and searched everywhere for the source of that apple/cinnamon aroma that reached his deepest core. He was so caught up in it that he jumped when the receptionist shouted beside him.

"Sir!!!" Tell me, do you have an appointment?"

"Oh, y-yes, she is… ummm, what's her name? Oh, y-yes, Tinny. She's a rat… I mean, a Pomeranian, and she's sick, or so they told me. I just came to bring her. I have to go. My sister will come to pick her up later. Thank you."

With that, he left the dog on the counter and immediately left. He felt hot all over, his vision blurred, and he could even feel his fangs starting to come out and the tingling in his jaw as if wanting to claim what was his…

"No, it's not possible. Where is it? Where…"

He didn't understand, but something told him he had to find where that delicious scent was coming from…
