A month passed, both Alan and Rui were able to avoid catastrophe. They entered the lectures just before the bell and left just after the bell. They also used caps or hoods to hide their faces in the class. On top of that, they used perfume to hide their scents in the class. If Mark sat on the back, Alan would sit on the front row and if he sat in the right corner, Alan chose the leftmost to sit. He was able to attend all the lectures without people noticing that he was there in class. Mark most probably had no idea that he was in there or maybe he didn't care if he was in there. Why? Because he was always surrounded by omegas trying to lure him with their scents. Among the excited omegas, a plain sandalwood scent would be of no avail. Last time, they got caught in the cafeteria because of their scents, this time they tried there all to hide it. If things went as smoothly as this, they would be out of trouble in no time.
While the two omegas were happy about the results, the two alphas were on their way back home. Mark was busy on the phone and Ben was driving. Ben had a grave expression on his face as if a boar had rummaged through his million acres of fields and he has lost all the harvest. It was almost impossible to ignore such expression.
" You are annoying." Mark commented.
" What?" Ben replied with confusion, " what the hell did I even do to annoy you?"
" That face..."
" Yaa…have you forgotten that I am older than you. What do you mean my face? You don't want to live anymore?"
" I meant the expression on your face brother. Why does your face look so messed up?"
" Oh. It's nothing. You tell me how are you doing? How are you dealing with Alan? After that humiliation, I thought you would just screw his life. Surprisingly, I haven't heard a single word about that matter. Are you okay with letting him go, just like that?"
Mark took his eyes off from the screen and looked at Ben seriously, " Who is Alan?"
" You idiot. The guy who kicked your ass at the first day of college. The omega who was with Rui…Rui Smith… our elementary school classmate." Ben heaved a long sigh, " Oh just forget it!"
" Oh, you mean Pinkie. Offcourse, it's all sorted. I don't have a grudge against him. I was vigilant at that time because I thought it was my father or his pawns who were coming after me. Now that I know that's not the case, why would I waste my time on them."
" How are you so sure?" Ben asked.
" Mmm…There are many reasons. First, the fact that they are normal people. I did a background check and turned out, it was true. They are normal civilians with no contact to the upper realm of society. Second, he apologized for what he did, even though he was the one with upper hand. And third, he said Rui thought I was his first crush and according to the history, that is true. He was not lying. And they both have been avoiding us. If they had a purpose, they would have definitely used other tactics. But they haven't. So I don't think I need to worry about that anymore."
" Wait…Wait…What first crush?" Ben questioned, hoping what he heard was just a hallucination.
" Oh…you didn't hear that. He said I was Rui's first crush. No…more precisely he said -who knew her first crush was such an asshole." Mark broke into giggles.
" Offcourse I did not hear it. How could I have possibly heard that, that awful scent had made me so nauseous. All my orifices were pretty much blocked. Darn it! You could have told me this before." Ben was fuming with anger.
" Brother calm down… what scent are you talking about?" Mark asked.
" What smell, that omega's scent offcourse…wait you… You don't know what scent?" Ben was surprised.
" You mean the sandalwood scent. Offcourse I did. It was the first time I have met someone with sandalwood scent. Its quite elegant if you ask me. Rui's scent is much nicer though. She smells like a rose in full bloom."
"Elegant, my foot. It was horrible scent of charcoal and some alcohol like substance mixed together. I would rather smell petrol then smelling such omega. How come your observation differs. You are an elite alpha, it is impossible for you to not smell such strong scent." Ben contemplated, " oh I get it now."
" What? What about it?"
" You see, Rui told me that Alan is actually a savage omega and his odd character is his scent. While most omegas scent tries to lure the alpha, his scent repels them. That is why its hard for other alphas to approach him. It is kind of a defence system. I know that Rui can not smell it because Alan doesn't feel threatened by her. But why you? It's not like you are not a threat. I mean you were literally about to break his arms. Then why it did not work on you." Ben was feeling conflicted. Maybe Rui is not that special to Alan or maybe Mark wasn't that bad of a guy to Alan. Or maybe it's just that Alan hates only him that's why, only he was feeling repulsed.
" Oh. So, that Pinkie is a savage. Interesting. I also want to know why I was not enough of a threat to him. May be I was too lenient." Mark smirked. " Hey brother, do you want to meet Rui again?" Mark teased his big brother.
Ben's eyes glittered with positive reply." Offcourse I want to. We were such good friends back then. If it wasn't our bad circumstances at that time, we would have been together. But how can we meet her? I mean its evident that they both are avoiding us."
Mark instantly started typing something on his phone and within five minutes, a notification arrived on Ben's phone.
Markthepolarbear had posted something...
It was a photo of Alan, wearing in pink t-shirt, eyes surrounded by thick glasses, sitting in the class and blushing red. The caption read, " Pinkie, you look cute and girly in pink. Angry? Find me tomorrow and I will let you punch me."
" What the fuck!" Ben shouted. "Why are you provoking him? Do you think he will find you because of some childish comments."
" Oh.. he will. Just be prepared to meet them tomorrow." Mark smirked.
