DESTINED MATE : SWEET ALPHA PHEROMONE
Chapter 36 - GRUVV’s POV

Chapter 36: Chapter 36 - GRUVV’s POV

I woke up in a much better state. After last night I thought about what I felt for Shiloh and I admitted it to myself, I feel pretty relieved that came from nowhere. I didn’t know if I should be honest with Shiloh about my feelings, after all he still had Hanahaki inside him.

He still can’t forget his ex-boyfriend. That man left a wound to him, Shiloh’s deep love for that man caused that flower growing, because his feelings were unrequited now.

Perhaps, I’ll just keep it for now.

I met him in the morning, showed him around, accompanied him to comb his hair before I left. I waved my hand to him as I got into the car.

George glanced at me from the center rearview mirror.

"Shut up, I know what you’re going to say."

George didn’t respond, he drove the car in silence all the way out of the main gate. "You know we’ve been together for so long, right? I know the answer just by looking at your face. You’ve already admitted to yourself that you like him, right?"

"Son of a bitch."

He chuckled, "You can’t blame the pheromones because you fell in love with him in a conscious state."

I grumbled to myself, damn it, how long will it take for him to look inside me? He can even guess what I was thinking all night. This bastard. George laughed out loud and continued to babble on and on.

There’s nothing wrong with what he said, I just hate it.

"Welcome, Boss." Shin and my subordinates bowed in respect as I got out of the car. I had refused them this tacky thing several times but they didn’t listen.

I walked into the office and smelled the sweet cookies from inside my room, no need to guess who was already there. I walked in and found Joshua munching on a strawberry cake, on the table were a few different cakes.

"Why did you come so early?" I asked him, taking off my coat and hanging it up. I rolled up the sleeves to my elbows and sat in my work chair, checking on the few people who were runaways or disappeared after a year without pay their debt to us.

"I found info about Gil."

My hands stopped moving, I turned my eyes to Joshua with a surprised face. The boy was still spooning the strawberry cake and eating it with gusto.

"How can you do that?"

He glanced at me, "Because I’m looking for it, I’m not someone who deliberately stalls for time not to look for him."

"What are you talking about, asshole?!"

Joshua scooped up another strawberry cake on the plate and ate it, now his eyes turned to the cake rather than to me.

"He was seen coming to Madam Rose’s residence a few days ago, but then just disappeared."

I frowned, "Disappeared just like that?"

Joshua nodded, "He went inside the residence and never came out, but according to the insider I paid for, he left the house the same day he came."

"Then he must have known he was being stalked."

Joshua pointed his finger like a gun at me, "Bingo!"

If what Joshua said is true, it means that all this time we couldn’t find out his whereabouts was because he knew he was being targeted and someone probably helped him to escaped.

"Can you guess who is helping him?"

Joshua shrugged his shoulders, "He’s too slick to act alone, but this plan of mine only a few people know about."

"Few people? Who are they?"

Right, I didn’t even know that Joshua was investigating Gil as well.

"I won’t tell you, I’m looking into it."

If he wasn’t my younger brother, I would have killed him right here and now. I sighed, my head filled with Gil. It’s not that I’m deliberately not looking for him, it’s just that I don’t know what to do if Gil gets caught.

I had promised to free Shiloh, but because of the feelings I have now.... Should I let him go free?

"You’re going to marry your Omega?" Joshua’s question made me look up from the paper on the desk to him who was now sitting in front of me. I glanced at the table and all the sweet cakes were gone. He was sipping strawberry milk in front of me.

"Don’t pry into people older than you their lives, don’t you have to go to class? Why are you still here?" I said, trying to change the subject.

"Father wants you to visit the main house."

I froze, the last time we met wasn’t so good. Father’s words hurt me and I didn’t want to see him for a while, I was too busy with myself. I’m too old to quarrel with my own parents.

"I can’t right now, I have so much work."

Joshua glanced at the desk, piling up files not lying. He shrugged his shoulders.

"Hey, since when did you go back to smoking? Didn’t you quit a long time ago?" I asked then before he walked away.

He walked over to the sofa and picked up his bag that was lying there.

"The doctor wouldn’t let me eat a lot of sweets, he said it would lead to diabetes. So I went back to smoking, but it doesn’t taste as good as it used to. So do you think I should die from diabetes or from lung cancer instead?"

I didn’t answer his stupid question, he chuckled as he walked out of the office and waved.

Joshua was once found overdosed by our subordinate who had assigned to follow him in high school by my Father. It wasn’t because he was using drugs but because he was being drugged by people who hated our family.

When he was found naked with needle wounds all over his body, the guilt of not being able to protect him was exactly the same as when I made Ford pull the trigger of the gun and kill himself. I felt more and more hatred for my own family.

Had we not been born the children of a Mafia family, I’m sure our family would have been much more normal.

"George..." I called out to George, as he walked into the room. "Joshua said he saw Gil go inside Madam Rose’s residence, find out what they’re up to. I have a feeling that this will have something to do with Shiloh."

George nodded and walked out of the room.

I spent my time inside the office today, some of the people we were looking for were found. I had the people found gathered in the warehouse where we carried out the executions, I will kill them tomorrow. Today I’m just going to tidy up some files, and go home.

I have to bring something, Shiloh will be happy.

George and I left the room and were walking towards the elevator when a woman came down the stairs, she looked surprised to see us. I didn’t recognize her, she bowed and I just looked at her. George pulled me up as the elevator opened, the woman looked shocked with a rosy face.

"What? What’s wrong?" I asked when the elevator doors closed.

George called someone, "Ron, please check Boss’s floor. There is a woman who is experiencing HEAT coming into Boss’s office."

I was surprised to hear that, HEAT? That woman is an Omega and is experiencing HEAT?

"Is that woman really experiencing HEAT?" I asked George who took out a box of injections from his pocket, usually we Alphas would carry inhibitors to stop the effects of Omega pheromones. Because if we didn’t do anything about it, Omega pheromones that are HEAT will trigger us to enter the RUT.

"Yes, you don’t smell it, do you? It’s very pungent, if you get attacked and everyone knows about your illness, it will be bad." George said again.

I paused, right, only a few people knew about my illness. No one knows why I can’t control my pheromones, this is something I haven’t told Shiloh either. This kind of thing didn’t happen once or twice, a few times when I was unlucky I met Omega who accidentally smelled my pheromones and got HEAT and almost attacked me.

Alpha Dominant pheromones are so strong and sometimes trigger other Omegas to enter the HEAT. I sighed, damn it, if only my illness could end soon. I also wanted to smell Shiloh’s pheromones.

For twelve years of having this illness I lives like a BETA, I don’t have any greed to be able to smell pheromones again. But now that I am with Shiloh, there was a lot of greed inside me that came out. I want to be able to feel the pheromones again, I want to be able to smell Shiloh, I also want to come home on time, I want to see him, I want to be with him all day, having a picnic or just reading a book at the Greenhouse and also, I want to protect her. Forever.
