บท 30: Ch 30 Why do you smell?
"Boss, we made sure that Beta reached home safely. But is this a little too excessive? I can understand if you ask us to guard an omega for you—or even an important beta. But I cannot see anything special about this person…"
Damian showed no mercy as he slammed his subordinate's head into the table before him.
On the other side of the table, Emily's smile sharpened as she looked at the fool questioning her.
Rocxx said nothing, but his expression said it all - do not question this pair.
"Hmm, and who are you to tell me who a vital person is? I will tell you that the beta you protect is the most important person on this planet. So, I don't want to hear any excuses from you.
Emily's eyes were scary, and it made the goon almost piss his pants in fear.
Damian's presence only added to this fear, making it impossible to look away from the alpha pair or disobey them.
Rocxx knew he should not interfere but needed to bring the tension down.
"Hey, your precious princess reached home safely. Stop harassing our staff and focus on catching that criminal you are tailing."
Emily's eyes turned to look at her cousin, but they lacked patience.
"And whose fault is it that I must come here and resolve this situation, huh? If only someone kept a tighter leash on their people, I would not have to worry about anything. So, my dear cousin, what must you say about this situation?"
"Hey, I already said I was sorry for that mistake, right? I will make sure this does not happen again. So, can you forgive me now?"
Rocxx did not sound sorry, and it showed on his face. He was only sad because he had let that criminal slip up.
He should have killed that low-life as soon as he tried to betray them. It was entirely Rocxx's fault.
But even he had not thought that the criminal would be foolish enough to go after the one who helped capture him in the first place. It was beyond ridiculous.
Especially when he moved so sloppily.
The person in question was the criminal whom Rika had helped capture before. He had somehow managed to escape and now wanted to go after Rika to get his revenge.
"Since you know that it is your mistake, I am sure you will take it into account and fix it as well, right? I will look forward to your report. Damian, don't kill that poor man. You will get blood on you if you do. You don't want to see Rika all blooded, right?"
Emily asked her boyfriend, and Damian immediately threw the man he had pressing down away.
His easy action made everyone take a harsh intake as they gave him space.
Even Rocxx looked at the alpha in front of him with a careful expression. He did not want to be killed by the younger alpha.
"What are you both planning on doing now? Somehow, I doubt you will stay still and not cause any trouble for me. So, I might as well know what is happening, right?"
Rocxx dared ask, and he instantly regretted his decision. He had a feeling that he would not like his answer.
"Hmm, what do you mean? We are not planning anything. We will have a very 'normal and natural' meeting with her. I will see you after we are done."
Emily waved at Rocxx as she went out. Damian did not even look back at once, but his mere presence felt terrifying.
Rocxx felt like he was in danger the whole time that pair had been there.
"Fuck! It is so difficult to deal with this pair. How does Rika even put up with these two? I should stop thinking about it."
Rocxx had no idea how one made a meeting 'accidental' when it had been pre-planned, and he did not want to know.
The further he remained from his cousin and her crazy ideas, the better it would be for him.
...
Rika felt unsettled when she arrived home. But she calmed down by the time dinner was finished.
Charon's company and spending time with her made Rika return to her senses.
When the clock struck 11, Rika was too tired and decided to sleep. But sleep was hard for her to come by.
That was why she decided to step out for a little while.
The pup and Charon were already asleep, and Rika had no heart to wake them up. So, she went out alone, trusting her luck to keep her alive and harmless.
Most shops were closing, but the one near their dorm was open 24-7. Rika stepped inside, only for the cashier to look at her annoyedly.
'What is the cashier's problem? Does she have to look at me like I am a freak? Does she not know it can be rude to stare at others like this?'
When the cashier looked at Rika, Rika stared back at her.
The cashier finally got the hint, and she looked away. But not before scoffing at Rika once more.
It was beginning to irritate Rika, so she did not even bother addressing the looks she was getting. Instead, she picked up some ice cream and decided to head back.
"Do you know that you stink badly? How can an alpha mark you with such a rotten smell? Think about other people and how uncomfortable they will feel."
The cashier spoke these words to Rika before she even scanned a single thing.
"Excuse me, but I think there has been a mistake. I did not come in contact with an alpha today, nor am I wearing any perfume. Do I smell that bad?"
Rika asked in a somewhat concerned voice.
The cashier made an annoyed fact at Rika's innocent expression, but it took her only a few seconds to realise that Rika was not lying or playing around.
She seemed to have no idea why the cashier said what she did to her.
บท 31: Ch 31: Let's have a talk
"How can you not know how badly you smell with all those pheromones covering you like that? It should be obvious that you would make others uncomfortable."
The receptionist's harsh words seemed to pierce Rika's confidence, leaving her with a lingering worry about her scent. Yet, strangely, it was not the shame that filled her but a deep concern.
"Sorry! I must have accidentally walked through an area with a large concentration of pheromones. This often happens since I am a beta with low sensitivity to pheromones."
Rika was quick to correct the misunderstanding.
She knew that she did not need to feel this way and that it was not her fault that this had happened.
But being conditioned to feel guilty for such an awkward situation was not something Rika could resolve in a day.
Thankfully, the receptionist was not a total bitch and decided to back off with a sheepish look on her face.
"I…huh? You are not an omega? But your build and that face…hmm, you do not have any pheromones. Sorry, this was my bad. Can I somehow make it up to you?"
The receptionist looked taken aback but interested in Rika at the same time.
Being looked at with interest in such a situation made Rika feel weird, and she immediately wanted to take a step back.
She felt unsettled to have that receptionist's eyes on her.
"Well, will you look at the time? I would like to pay for these things and then leave. Keep the change. I do not need it."
Rika quickly exited the store before the receptionist could say anything more. She knew exactly what kind of situation that was going to occur.
'Fuck! That receptionist was interested in me because she thought I would be easy. Since she thought I looked like an omega, she likely wanted to spend a night with me and not worry about the chances of marking them.'
It angered and flattered Rika simultaneously to be thought of in such a way.
She also tried to sniff herself to see if she had any weird smells. But no matter how hard she tried, she could not smell anything strange.
In the end, Rika could only sigh and give up. She wanted to get home now and not think about this topic anymore.
She passed an ally and felt something grabbing her hand. Before she knew it, Rika was being dragged into an alley, and someone grabbed her face.
It only took a second for Rika's consciousness to fade, and she fell unconscious.
"Fuck finally! I thought they would never leave her alone. I can finally take my revenge against those cunning mafia people. I have the perfect hostage to use against them."
The man cursed while carrying Rika out with him.
Rika was not heavy, but carrying someone around for this long did cause his arms to hurt.
He somehow managed to drag Rika to his car and throw her inside.
The anaesthesia he had used to put Rika to sleep was a relatively strong one. There was no way she would be waking up any time soon.
...
'How humiliating. I cannot believe I mistook a beta for an omega, and I also tried to give her peace of mind. I am so glad no one was around to see that.'
The shopkeeper tried to hide her red face in her hand. She did not want anyone to see her humiliated state.
She was so busy with herself that she did not even notice someone banging the table before her and placing a massive bag of chips and coke on it.
"Ring up my bill, please."
The retail worker's rude and annoyed voice startled her, and she almost had a mini heart attack at suddenly being addressed like this.
"What the fuck? I mean, welcome customer. How may I help you?"
The retail worker felt her alpha instincts rise and in protest as she felt a pair of eyes judging her.
"Did you not hear me? I asked you to ring this up for me. Looks like all your senses are duller than they are supposed to be. Are you sure you are alright?"
The red-haired female alpha asked the retail worker.
'Huh? What is this woman's problem? Is she challenging me? How dare she challenge me?'
The cashier could tell that the lady in front of her was an alpha based on the behaviour she had been shown.
"Are you trying to pick a fight with me? Huh? Do you think I am easy to bully? I will show you a proper fight if you want me to."
The cashier could tell the red-haired alpha in front of her was dangerous. Something about her made warning bells ring in her head.
Despite all these signs, the cashier wanted to fight with her. It felt instinctual, almost as if she was being edged into fighting.
'Shit! Why can't I control myself? It should not be that hard for me to be able to find a single alpha. I feel so off today.'
"Oh! So now you want to fight me? Is this similar to how you wanted to fight that beta from before? Do indulge me. But I'm afraid either of us might be unable to hold my temper back."
The cashier had seconds to process what she heard, but it was too late.
A heavy pressure pressed the chaser's head into the table, and she even tried to gasp for breath.
'H-How did I not notice this alpha sneaking up behind me? My senses are not full, and I-'
"You distracted me so I would not notice someone sneaking up behind me. You wanted me to fall for this trap. What do you want from me?"
The cashier could not remember a single reason why she was being treated this way.
She was a little harsh and rude, but not enough to get threats like this.
"Are you scared of me? You should be. Now, we need to talk about manners, don't you agree? You can call me Emily. I have a feeling we will become good friends from today on."
