The crowd outside the hospital was going wild. Everyone was waiting for the emergency squad to arrive. The police was already there. They could not act unless the pheromones subside. A long time passed and the pheromones started to disperse in the air. The concentration was low but still it was not safe.
Rui's father was in that crowd. An hour ago, when he saw Alan at the gate, he rushed to save Rui. However, all the doors were locked and alphas were prohibited from entering. He could smell roses from far away. He was pretty sure it was Rui's scent. He tried to argue with the staff. Even though he was an alpha, he was Rui's father. He won't be affected by those pheromones. However, the staff denied access to him. But in that very moment, he felt an explosion of charcoal pheromones from upper floor. He knew that scent and whom it belonged. He felt a little relieved but worried at the same time. Alan was a savage who has escaped from the government. If his whereabouts are exposed, the authorities will surely take him back. He was nothing but a nuisance for the public in their eyes.
Mr. Smith immediately called his office. He asked his hackers to hinder the footage of all the CCTV cameras, delete the original and save a copy as evidence in his desktop. The hackers worked fast. The footage from all the cameras were erased.
As soon as the special squad arrived, they went in with the masks, suits and tranquilisers. They entered the omega ward and immediately noticed the two scents lingering in there. The one was of roses. It was fading away slowly. As they tried to trace its origin. They found that it was coming from a room down the line. It was Rui's room. The door lock was broken.There was blood on the door. They took the sample of the blood. Then, they went in and again there were two scents. The toxic scent of charcoal was high in concentration. The smell of roses was blurry. It was coming from the omega laying there. Her neck was bleeding. There were bite marks. They took a sample from her neck too. If it was just a normal case of marking, they wouldn't have interfered. But the uproar they caused put the lives of other patients in danger. Hence, they must investigate the matter.
After they took all the samples, they started interrogation with the patient's family. Mr and Mrs Smith were relieved when they found that Rui was out of coma and out of danger. They finally heaved a sigh of relief. But soon, they were bombarded with questions.
"You are her parents?"
"Yes. I am Roger Smith and this is my wife Anna Smith. "
" You know who marked your daughter?"
"Yes. It was her friend." Mrs. Smith replied. She remembered because she was the one who let Mark go in.
"What was he doing in there? Alphas are strictly not allowed to enter omega's room."
"I don't know "Mrs Smith replied. "But he came here daily to ask if Rui was awake. Maybe he had feelings for her." She smiled.
"Well, Mrs Smith I would like to tell you that we found estrus inducing drugs in her blood. It's a possibility that someone drugged her in order to mark her in estrus. That's a serious crime. Forcing a non consensual mark on an omega is heavily punished by law. If you want us to investigate, you have to file a complain and we will find the culprit."
"No we don't want that!" Mrs. Smith replied quickly." It's okay. They both are mates now. So, we don't want further interference."
Mr. Smith was quietly watching Mrs. Smith's subtle disturbances. There was something wrong. The Amma that he knew would never let go of such things.
"Alright. It's your choice. There was also another omega in that room. Do you by any chance, know who he was?"
"No we don't " This time it was Mr. Smith who was quick to reply.
"It's a pity. We are unable to identity him. We may have lost some evidences but we do have his DNA sample. We assure you we will find that person."
"What did that person do officer?" Mr Smith asked innocently.
"Apparently, that omega has toxic pheromones and he can secret them in intensity much higher than any other omega does. We think he is a savage. Thus, he is a threat. He must be checked and treated before we let him free. "
"That's a good strategy." Mr. Smith smiled.
"Alright. You can go. We have to question your daughter too. But we will wait until she is ready."
Both Mr and Mrs. Smith drove back to their house. Mrs. Smith was abnormally quiet through the whole way. She went inside the house. Mr. Smith followed her. They both have to go to the hospital soon. Rui will wake up soon. They want to be there for her.
Mrs. Smith packed some of Rui's clothes and food. Then, she went to shower. Meanwhile, Mr. Smith checked his emails. There was footage of hospital. He saw it all.
When Mrs. Smith came out, she saw Mr. Smith waiting for her.
.....
"You .... You drugged our daughter?!" Mr. Smith yelled.
"I cannot believe this. Rui, she was in coma. But you...you drugged her. You induced her estrus. You knew very well she never had estrus before. You still forced her." Mr. Smith breathed heavily. "You even asked that innocent alpha to go in. Even though you knew she was going into heat. What were you thinking!"
With a thud Mr. Smith sat back on the couch. He grabbed his head "What the hell you have done?"
He stood up and threw his phone towards Mrs. Smith. "Look. Just look what you did to your own daughter"
In the footage, there was Mark & Rui tormented by pheromones. There were people treating them like animal in a zoo. There was Alan, going on rampage. Everything was in it, the whole marking process.
"You destroyed three innocent lives today. Do you have any idea what that mean? Don't just stand there! say something! "he yelled.
"I...I only wanted her to wake up." Mrs Smith knelt on the ground and kept sobbing.
