Chapter 35: Chapter Thirty-Two (Seattle Arc #2)

LEO

"Kevin," I don’t mean to sound this cold as I talk to Kevin over the phone to hide my desperation, "The medicines aren’t working as good as before."

"D-Did you take them as the doctor advised you to?" Kevin stutters a little.

"I took them accordingly." I rummage through my suitcase to find something suitable to wear for the night. "But they aren’t working properly. I am emitting pheromones unconsciously."

"We have a problem then." Kevin sounds almost robotic as he asks, "Do you have your doctor’s number? Or do you want me to talk to him on your behalf?"

"I have his number." I feel somewhat irritated at his tune, "I will call him myself. You don’t have to bother yourself."

"Fine. Take care." Kevin cuts the line.

What the fuck is wrong with him? He usually shudders when I talk to him. What happened with his scary-cat behavior over the night? Who cares anymore? Fuck.

I throw my phone over the bed as I pull out some of my clothes and shut the suitcase. I am pissed for some reason and I can’t even fathom why. Is it because of my heat? But I never heard of this kind of symptom before. So, maybe not. Then what?

"Fuck," I curse underneath my breath and then reach out for my phone. I slam my fingertips against the screen ferociously as I dial my doctor’s number.

"Mr. Snow." The professional tone of the doctor pisses me off even more, "How can I help you?"

"My medicines are not working properly." I state with a forced coolness as I would rather die than showing my immature self to my doctor who regards me even higher than the queen Victoria.

"Did you take them as I instructed you to?" His tone dripping with seriousness, which is one of the reasons he is still my doctor.

"I did but still I am showing symptoms."

"Hmm," He listens carefully to my complaint, "then I will suggest you mate with your husband."

"Not happening." I instantly turn down his suggestion, "Why would I need to sleep with an alpha after all these years to suppress my heat?"

"Well, Mr. Snow, I know you are aware of the fact that, after taking medication for a very long time, you become immune to them. It might be happening in this case too." He explains to me calmly.

"Then give me some other medication or something." I demand impatiently.

"It is not possible at the moment since you are out of town and I need to go through some procedures to give you some other medication." He declines.

"Then what should I do now?" I demand, my anger can no longer be forced down from erupting.

"I can only suggest that you have sex with your husband at the moment to satisfy your need, Mr. Snow." The doctor remains calm.

"Fine then." I cut the call.

There is no way in hell I am gonna sleep with that guy to satisfy my need. At least this is what my head saying and on the other hand my heart is telling me to get on my knees and beg him to fuck me until I lose my walking privileges. But for round one my mind wins over my heart and I am forced to take a hot bath.

After I get out of the bath, I take a double dose of my medicine. I know I shouldn’t do something as reckless as this but still it should be able to help me to control my unsteady pheromones until I get back to the town. This way I would not lose my shits and run amok while releasing my pheromones like some pervert.

Knock. Knock. My heart jumps its way up to my throat. Someone just knocked at the sliding door of the balcony. But there is no one there and it’s raining cats and dogs right now. Who would pull a prank such as this? It doesn’t make any sense. But I didn’t hear anything wrong. I clearly heard two firm knocks on the door.

Knock. Knock. Knock. My heart completely freezes on its spot this time but it normalizes soon enough as a charming voice calls me from the other side of the door, "Leo? Are you there? Let’s go down to grab our dinner."

I run toward the door and swing it open almost instantly, "Y-Yes, let’s go." I sigh secretly in relief as I see John standing at my door and Steve peeking at me as he hides behind his back and tugs at his big brother’s clothes. "Come here." I beckon him as I splay my arms out.

But to my and John’s surprise, he shakes his head in decline, "There is someone standing behind you, pretty brother." Steve says simply as he stares at the empty room behind me, "He is telling me not to come in."

My blood freezes in my veins and a cold breeze runs down my spine, giving me shivers all over my body. My face drains out of blood in fright. I spin my head toward the cold space behind my back.

"Hey don’t be scared." John waves randomly, "Steve is just blubbering nonsense. Don’t believe him. It’s just in his head."

"No!" Steve protests, "They are right there! Can’t you see? On the balcony?"

Now my heart is ready to give up on me. I heard someone knocking on the door there just a moment ago and now this little kid is telling me that someone is standing on my balcony in this weather when none of us can see anything at all.

"No we don’t." John says in an admonishing tune, "And you don’t either." He scoops up Steve in his arms and beckons me, "Let’s go."

I hastily nod as I sweep my eyes over the room for a glimpse of of the unknown Steve was just talking about and of course I don’t spot anything at all. I lock the door behind me.

I sniff my clothes secretly to make sure I don’t reek of my pheromones which is very stupid because of course I will reek of it since it is something that emits from my body all the time.

"Are you okay?" John gives me a worried look. "You are looking so pale..."

"I am fine." I force a smile, which is so fake that even a child can tell that. But still fortunately John doesn’t press the matter.

"Hey, Leo!" Ruth comes waving at us with a large smile on his face.

How the hack that brat manages to smile like that for twenty-four per seven?

"What?" I roll my eyes at him sarcastically.

"Are you okay, buddy?" Ruth’s brows suddenly pinch in worry. "You are looking so pale."

Is it that evident?

"I am fine." I state as I make my way to the dining area.

Ruth stares at my back for a beat before following me. "Hey Steve, do you like the hotel?" Ruth asks the little figure, sitting on another man’s arm, to start a random conversation.

Steve shakes his head, "No, I don’t like it at all."

My and John’s ears perk up at once. "Why is that?" Ruth asks.

’There are so many weird looking people around here but no one seems to be noticing them." Steve pouts angrily but little does he know that his anger is increasing his anger tenfold.

I try my best to ignore what Steve is talking about since it will rob me off my sleep at night. Well I don’t gonna get all that much sleep anyway but still I need enough brevery inside my chest to stay in my room alone without fainting or making a ruckus.

"Where is Erwin, anyway?" John changes the subject wisely.

Ruth shrugs his shoulders and splays out his hands to his sides, "I don’t know. I kicked him out earlier when I was taking a shower."

I open my mouth to rebuke him for his behavior but then a voice stops me from doing so, "Hey, John over here." Erwin waves at us from a table at the corner of the hall. He is holding a menu card. "I found a table for us." He grins as we approach him. But his grin dims a little at the sight of me.

We settle down and order dishes we like. Then John forces a conversation on the cold table, "Tomorrow we are going to see the aquarium. I heard it is beautiful."

"I hope we have fun." I hum.

"I hope so too!" Ruth enthusiastically goes along with us, "We are gonna have so much fun, buddy!"

"You are such a kid." Steve rubs his nose.

I bite down a grin and John chuckles while Ruth dumbfoundedly says, "Heh?" Erwin snorts loudly at his stupidity.

"Even he knows it." Erwin comments.

"You aren’t any better either." Ruth spits mockingly.

"You bet?" Erwin sneakers in the same manner.

Here they are at it again.

I don’t even want to know how I got into this situation. Right now I am soaked in my sweat as I lay prone on my bed and try to call out to Jesus but He seems to be in his silent mode right now. My heart is about to give up on me as dread sinks deeper into the pit of my stomach. There is someone out there. Standing on the balcony. I know they are watching me. And they know I am aware of them too.
