DESTINED MATE : SWEET ALPHA PHEROMONE
Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Chapter 25

When I was still in High School and the first time we as students got the results from the blood test regarding our second gender, I was already very close to Mateo. We weren’t dating yet, we were just classmates at that time. Because of our parents’ rank in society, Mateo and I met often and without realizing it, he always being by my side felt so natural.

"You’re an Omega Dominant?" He asked with rounded eyes, his right hand clutching a piece of paper that has a notice our blood test results.

I nodded slowly, he then looked around before pulling my hand and we ran away from the classroom area, he led me into a quiet hallway, with a reddened face he handed me the paper he had been holding.

I picked it up in confusion, the paper was so scuffed because he gripped it so tightly, I opened the paper and read the results. Alpha Dominant.

I lift my head and looked at him, his rosy face I still remember until now, with trembling lips, he said, "I-I’ve been waiting for this result, but even if you were an Alpha, I would still like you. I like you, Shiloh."

The confession were still cute and tingled, making our faces red and hot. We both shy to tell what we felt at that time. It was an overwhelming feeling that nothing could compare to. I said yes to his confession because I really liked him, I liked Mateo. We held hands, we kisses and news about we date each other reached our parents.

"It’s must be fate, you are my Omega and I’m your Alpha."

I believed in his word. No one was against it, especially dad. It was like he hit the jackpot Elnathan family son liked me. We dated for almost two years when finally the news of my father’s bankruptcy could no longer be covered.

Mateo didn’t say anything, but I could see the change in his behavior. In my mind at that moment, nothing would change between us. We both love each other, I’m sure everything will pass soon and he will still be by my side. When mom died and I had my first HEAT, Mateo started to lose contact with me. At all.

On graduation day he came up to me and said he wanted to end the relationship. He said his family arranged the engagement for him, he had to get married soon to continue his family business while attending college. My world is falling apart, my feet are no longer on the ground.

In the end, I’ll be the one who shatters into a million pieces. And it’s true.

To me, he was the only person I could trust at the time. He was the person I most expected to be there when I fell, in fact, like everyone else, he also left me.

After graduation, I stayed home. Dad wouldn’t let me go to college. One month after Mateo left me the petals were showed up and dad hated it, he started made a special room for me. Rooms without windows are filled with soundproofing. He hates to hear of my coughing and vomiting.

I was locked in there. Until four months later I was suddenly in another room when I woke up, I was in the hospital. It was the hardest time. For me, death is the best choice ever. No matter how hard I try to end it, people always bring me back to life. They tried to keep me alive but also made me die from the inside.

I hate it.

I hate my own life, I don’t want to live anymore.

What dad have done to me has crossed the line, but I can’t do anything about it. One year, I trapped in that hospital room and went back to the room without windows.

I was forced to take the drugs that dad prepared, sometimes because I was caught not taking them dad would mix the drugs in my food or drink. I wanted to end my life, but my father wouldn’t let me. The no window soundproof room had CCTV cameras installed, he monitored me for 24 hours.

"Who is he?"

"Ah, that’s my son. Don’t mind about him. He’s sick."

I remember his voice. It was the same voice when dad opened the door to my room to give me food. He asked me who I was, I couldn’t see his face but I recognized his voice.

"Shiloh.."

This voice, this voice I’ve heard before. Such a familiar with the same tangerine scent. A voice I’ve only heard once but it’s always ringing in my ears.

"Shiloh.."

I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Gruvv’s worried face. He looked at me with a look of horror, his eye moving here and there. Ah, don’t put on a face like that, I might misunderstand.

"Gruvv?" I woke up and puzzled, I was in a room, but this was not my bedroom. "Where I am?" I asked.

Gruvv grabbed my arm, he helped me to sit on the bed. The sky was already black from the large window of his room.

"This is my room.." He speaks softly.

I looked at him. Like the previous days, he came home with half-wet hair and the same smell of shampoo and soap. He wears an earthy tone turtle neck. His face still looked so worried.

"Why am I in your room?" I asked, turning my eyes away. I can’t face him.

"That’s what I asked, my heart almost dropped when I came home and didn’t find you in your room. I asked all the maids, we were panic."

I blinked.

"Am I making a racket because I slept here?"

"What are you doing here?" Asked Gruvv, He didn’t answer my question.

I’m still looking at the sheet, is his voice really this deep and soft? Is the touch always like this? Why didn’t I react to his pheromones? I grabbed the sheet tightly.

"I was just, waiting for you.." I said stuttering, I don’t want to know what I’m feeling. If it’s true that this is love, this fucking Hanahaki shouldn’t exist anymore.

"Ah, are you lonely?" He asked, then I heard his laughter. I turned my head and found his face rosy with laughter, his monolid eyes looking perfectly closed like a crescent moon. "Shiloh, I’m home." He said.

My heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it was going to come out, I nodded.

Ah, that’s you. You were the one who came to my home that day and asked me who I was. "What did you do to your son? Why did you lock him up? You know that can be reported, right? You can’t do that to your own son, Gil."

I still remember that sentence, because of the many people who came, you were the only one who told dad he can’t do that to his own son. It was you, who finally make dad added a little window to my no window room, so I can see the sun.
