DESTINED MATE : SWEET ALPHA PHEROMONE
Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Chapter 92

I was still watching them, they looked so close. Since coming to the room, Seth had not gotten off Gruvv’s lap. He hugged the man like a koala resting on a tree.

Seth loves to talk, he even talks more with Gruvv than with me. Today he talked about his school, he said he took the day off.

"You know days off?" He asking Gruvv with sparkling eyes, he leaned his head on Gruvv’s chest, looking at the man while half looking up.

Gruvv who lowered his head to look at the boy nodded, "Of course, I’m having a lot of days off right now." He replied, as if his chest was puffed out proudly.

"Wow! You have a lot of days off? It must feel good!"

He is three years old, but Seth already had a huge vocabulary. They spent a lot of time in the room, Gruvv helping Seth get out all his picture books and crayons, accompanying the boy to scribble colors.

They look close, but why don’t I see any resemblance? Is it because Seth looks so much like me?

"Hey Gruvv." Maeve walked into the room smiling widely, waving her hand at me. I nodded, holding the pink crayon Seth had given me to color one of the flowers in the picture book.

"Maeve! How’s work going?"

I glanced at the two. Oh? They look so close too.

Grandma told me that Seth was closer to Maeve because she took care of him when he was still a baby. Maeve wasn’t Seth’s nanny, she said I let Seth call her ’mama’ because she wanted a child and I allowed her to take care of Seth since he was a baby.

Maeve was so beautiful, she said she had divorced her husband and was now working on Gruvv’s island. I think Gruvv is the one with the most influence here, he’s probably one of the elite.

Seth touched my hand, "Dad, dad, I want to stay over." He half-whispered, I looked at him and chuckled. I leaned forward slightly and whispered to him, "Did you tell mom? You should ask her permission first."

Seth looked sad, he was a little afraid of Maeve, after all she was a little strict about discipline. Seth goes to school on the island where Maeve lives, they live together there.

"I will tell your mom."

And his eyes seemed to shine brightly, I chuckled again. He’s so adorable.

We played for quite a while, and in that time Gruvv played with Seth for quite a while until he finally talked to Maeve on the balcony. Ian is Gruvv’s omega father, but I don’t see the resemblance in the two. Grandma says Gruvv looks more like his Alpha father.

Does that also apply to Seth? He is not similar to Gruvv.

"Grandma..." I called out to Bethany when we were alone in the room. Gruvv had been back in his room since this afternoon along with Seth and Maeve who had returned to their inn.

"Yes? Does your stomach feel uncomfortable, Shiloh?"

I shook my head slowly.

"So? What’s wrong? Why does your face look so sad?" Grandmother was now sitting on the bed, stroking my hair, I was lying on my back, staring at the ceiling. My stomach was getting bigger and often felt so tight, after all it was only a matter of days before this child was born.

"Why is Seth calling Gruvv, uncle? Isn’t he also Gruvv’s son? Seth is my son, right?"

I could see Bethany’s eyes trembling, I furrowed my brow. Oh, am I wrong to ask this? I thought. But looking at her reaction, something was strange. I was still waiting for her to say something, but she just stroked my hair gently.

I know I’m no longer sixteen years old, I’m an adult, but watching other adults behave, I can’t guess what they’re thinking, I don’t even know how to respond if they behave in ways I don’t understand.

I didn’t ask Bethany about it again, nor did she ever give me an answer.

After I woke up from the coma and saw many people I didn’t recognize but they said that they recognized me, there was an uneasy feeling in my heart. Those people were talking to me as if they knew me, yes, maybe they knew me. But in fact, I don’t know them.

The current me, doesn’t know them.

Not only did I meet people I didn’t recognize, I also had to accept that my life had gone so far. When I took off all the clothes attached to my body, there were surgical scars on several parts of my body that I didn’t even remember. My body had grown fat, in some parts I could see fat popping up.

I’m no longer a sixteen-year-old boy, my life has moved on without me realizing it. Being a ’Shiloh’ who is no longer a sixteen-year-old boy is so hard. Having a child, being pregnant, and having an Alpha already marking and knotting me.

I have no memory of that.

"Shiloh.."

I turned my head, the man I met a few days back was looking at me with a smile. An unfamiliar face that I recognized more and more every day, the sweet smell wafted again whenever he was near me.

"Did I make you uncomfortable?" He asked, opening a packet of chocolates that he handed to me. I ate it, biting into it with my teeth and chewing. Some man had also given me chocolates before, his eyes were bright blue and his eyes were narrow. He looks cocky.

"What is it that makes you like me?"

The man blinked after hearing my sudden question, he scratched the back of his head and looked away from me. The autumn breeze is already blowing, we were on the balcony. Enjoying the alone time that grandma is giving us more and more.

"I fell in love with you because you made me feel comfortable." He replied, bowing his head, as if thinking about someone, "You’re the one who always welcomes me when I come home, you’re the one who always waits for me, you’re the one who always makes me feel accepted. The longer I know you, the more I want to protect you." He looked at me this time, but what I caught was that he was looking for someone he missed in me.

That’s not me. He is looking for Shiloh who is not a sixteen-year-old.

"I have someone I like." I said, he rounded his eyes, his smile disappearing. "He’s a friend at my school. We often meet at elite events."

The man nodded and smiled slightly, "Yes, I know."

"You know?"

"You told me." He said with a grin.

I don’t know if the grown-up me told him how I was so scared to confess my love to Mateo, I was waiting for us to get the news about our second gender.

"I didn’t know that I wouldn’t end up with him." I said then, the man flinched in his seat. I could see his facial expression changed, he looked like he wanted to say something but swallowed it again.

"Did my words hurt you?" I asked.

He smiled and shook his head, "No, of course. But I understand that you, who are still sixteen years old, feel awkward with me."

I chewed the chocolate in my mouth, "Right. You know, it feels so strange to hear someone explain how your life has gone for seven years. I’m constantly given stories that I don’t remember at all, and I even feel like they’re all lies. I feel like I’m in a dream world." I said as I shrugged my shoulders, looking up at the leaves blowing in the wind on the tree.

"Did I stop coming to your room and keeping you company?"

I stopped chewing, turned to him, he was looking at me with a face full of worry. He reminded me of the dog my family used to have. I chuckled at him.

"No, it’s not like that..." I said, waving my hand in front of him while covering my mouth. I looked at him, he looked confused by what I was doing.

"Mr. Gruvv, are you sure that you will no longer find the Shiloh you once loved? I’m not twenty-three-year-old Shiloh, I’m sixteen years old. No matter how you try to find him in me, that person is no longer here." I said, trying to convince him that he might not see the man he loved again.

The doctor told me and my grandmother that the chances of my memory returning were little.

"You won’t remember the past?" He asked.

I nodded, "That’s what the doctor told me and grandma."

He fell silent, lowering his head deeply. I averted my gaze, not wanting to see him sad. I understand, however, no one can accept someone who is no longer themselves. How could you possibly accept your lover who is no longer himself.

"But, do you hate me?"

I turned my head, surprised by his question. I shook my head awkwardly, if he asked like that of course I didn’t hate him.

He then flashed me a big smile, "Then, can I approach you again? Can we get to know each other again?"

I could smell that fragrance again from him, a scent so sweet like tangerine.
