From that day until three weeks passed, Daren and Axel kept their relationship a secret from everyone and tried to live normally as if nothing had happened. Except when it was just the two of them, Daren would happily lean on Axel or he would lie on his Omega's lap.
One thing they couldn't do was make love. Given that when an Alpha and Omega make love, the Alpha's pheromones will stick to the Omega, and vice versa. That was what marked the pair as mates, though not as strong as after bonding or bite.
"It's better we avoid it first than it would risk if your annoying father finding out," Axel said while rolling his eyes in annoyance.
Daren nodded in agreement. "Yeah, he'll be pissed and think I'm giving the family a bad name by dating an Alpha like you."
They both finally agreed not to do it until the time was right. Daren didn't want Axel to suddenly get kicked out of the family mansion and they couldn't see each other again.
