DESTINED MATE : SWEET ALPHA PHEROMONE
Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Chapter 90

Gruvv stared in confusion at Shiloh, his eyebrows knitted together, his mouth slightly open. He had just opened the door to his room, planning to get some fresh air alone. His father had stopped by for a while but then left for lunch. When he opened the door, he smelled pheromones.

Shiloh’s pheromones.

He’s going into the garden and finds Seth with someone so familiar, his heart racing, his body feeling so weak. He hoped that this wasn’t a dream, but when he called out to him and he turned his head, relief appeared in his heart.

"Shiloh..."

His thoughts of losing Shiloh forever to death made him unable to even ask his parents, he tried not to walk into reality. He remained in a state where he did not want to hear the reality of losing the person he loved the most, but what he saw now was not a hallucination. The man with his beautiful long hair was sitting on a bench in the park, with his hair up because little Seth was trying to tie it up.

Gruvv shifted his gaze to Shiloh’s belly. Our baby is safe.

"Uncle!" Seth’s cheerful shriek and wide smile made Gruvv even more certain that this was not a dream.

But then, he got confused.

That face did not show any happiness when they met. A face full of confusion as if they didn’t know each other, as if this was the first time they met.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Gruvv!" Ian called out to him, making Gruvv turn his head, still with the same confused face. His head has yet to understand what happened, why did his lover ask who he was? What did he mean?

Gruvv saw an old woman walk up to Shiloh, as did Maeve. They looked at him with pitying gazes. An old woman who was so familiar, Maeve looked awkward as she looked down several times, avoiding her eyes to meet with Gruvv.

"Father, isn’t that... Shiloh?" Gruvv asked, pointing at the man whose face looked like his boyfriend. And, that’s my boyfriend, right?

"Gruvv, let me explain."

"Explain?"

Maeve touched Shiloh’s shoulder, she smiled at Gruvv. The old woman held Seth who looked at us with a confused face too, Maeve asked Shiloh to leave. Gruvv was still rooted to the spot, staring at the four people leaving him.

He turned to Ian who was now scratching his head.

He needed an explanation.

Ian gave the warm tea that Maeve had brought in a thermos, he handed the glass to Gruvv and asked him to drink it to be much calmer. Gruvv’s face was already so tense, he looked angry, feeling that he was being fooled and also betrayed.

He believes that Shiloh is no longer in this world.

Ian sat near Gruvv, trying to string together the right words to make his son able to accept what he was about to explain.

"I didn’t mean to hide it from you." Ian opened the conversation, he looked down, his hands interlocked, trying to stay calm and not look panicked even though he was. Not panic, rather he was at a loss as to where to start.

Just yesterday he decided to keep this a secret until Gruvv was completely fine but in fact fate said otherwise.

"Shiloh, lost his memory..."

Gruvv’s eyes widened at that, his body stiffened and his tongue hung out. He looked at Ian who was still looking down.

"I really don’t mean to lie to you at all, you were in a coma for six months and when you woke up you lost many functions. Your body couldn’t move the way you wanted it to, you couldn’t even smell pheromones for a while."

"Huh?"

Ian raised his head, he looked at Gruvv, "You didn’t realize that?"

Gruvv swallowed harshly, now he lowered his head, staring at the cup of hot tea that was now starting to cool down. He hadn’t noticed.

His memory back when he opened his eyes that afternoon.

Whereas when he opened his eyes his father and Joshua looked at him with concern, they looked at him with tension. When he started talking and woke up, his father continued to be grateful. In fact, it was already the tenth day since he regained consciousness, but fell asleep, woke up and fell asleep again and again.

"The doctor said, if you continue like that there’s a chance you won’t wake up again. I panicked." Ian said, continuing his story. "When you finally woke up and didn’t fall asleep for a day, I was relieved. But your body didn’t react, you lost your ability to do small things, your muscles become stiff. In that state, you experienced severe stress. Perhaps you didn’t feel it because you weren’t fully awake either."

"Is that why I can’t smell pheromones?"

"Right, I don’t want you to experience any more stress if you find out that Shiloh lost his memory."

"Why did he lose his memory? From which one did he lose his memory?"

"He lost all his memories, when he woke up, he only remembered he was sixteen years old. He remembered he was a freshman in high school."

Ian explained to Gruvv that, like him, Shiloh was also in a coma for two months. At that time his condition was so severe that the doctor and also the Sherburne family considered continuing the pregnancy. When they thought that abortion was the best option, Shiloh woke up from his long sleep.

Shiloh was so traumatized when he was raped by Samuel Foster, he was on drugs when he was found. The man injected a lot of drugs into Shiloh before raping him, fortunately, the baby did not suffer any effects. The baby is healthy and normal.

Shiloh also suffered shock and seizures from Samuel Foster’s semen. The body of an Omega male who has been marked is so complex that these things trigger his body to the worst.

The man woke up and was confused, he was pregnant and also no longer sixteen years old. But strangely despite his shock, Shiloh did not ask for the child to be aborted.

"Sherburne’s family had persuaded him to abort the baby, but he refused, he didn’t want to do that. During his stay at the hospital, Bethany Sherburne explained many things to Shiloh. Including that he is an Omega, he is pregnant and has another child."

Gruvv paused, "Why would he keep the baby?"

Ian shook his head, "We’d have given up if he wanted to abort the baby, but he didn’t want to."

Ian continued that the Sherburne Family had told him about Gruvv, that he had an Alpha who had marked him.

Gruvv kept the teacup on the table, he covered his face with both hands, he didn’t know what to do. During the six months he was in a coma, Shiloh struggled alone.

"This is the last month of his pregnancy."

Gruvv sighed, the two were silent for a while, Ian felt so nervous.

Even so, for some reason Gruvv felt relieved. He felt so relieved that Shiloh had lost all his worst memories. He experienced so many bad things after high school ended, all those bitter and painful experiences just disappeared. He became a man with sixteen-year-old memories, where he met Mateo or had not even experienced other bad things yet.

Gruvv didn’t know what would happen if Shiloh remembered how the rape happened, how Samuel Foster or Gil treated him during his time in the house.

"Can I see him?"

Ian turned to Gruvv and his smile widened, "Sure, I just waited until you were ready and wanted to tell you, I didn’t want you to experience stress or feel pressured. But now that you know, it’s time for you to make a new memory with him. Good memories."

Gruvv nodded.

Right, this would be a new memory for Shiloh. Their first meeting was not the worst, but at that time Shiloh was really in a bad condition, this time, Gruvv wanted to change that. He wanted to meet and approach Shiloh in the kindest way possible.

He walked out of the room, into the elevator. As soon as the elevator doors opened he could smell the pheromones that he recognized so well, the pheromones that he missed, the sweet smell that he had been able to breathe in freely. What was in his head about Shiloh leaving was now gone, he was very grateful that Shiloh was healthy, even though he had to repeat everything this time.

Gruvv knocked on the door of the room, Bethany Sherburne opened it. The old woman’s wide smile was visible.

"Come in, Maeve and Seth are at the supermarket. I’ll be back later." The old woman said to Gruvv, she touched Gruvv’s arm and nodded.

Gruvv swallowed nervously, Shiloh was looking at him from the bed. Bethany had now left the room, leaving the two of them there. Gruvv averted his gaze, his heart suddenly thumping so hard, he cleared his throat.

"Hi."
