Chapter 70: Ch 70: Nothing to hide - Part 2

*Cough*

"Will your husband be driving you to the heat center? Do you want any help from Clair or me before you head to the center? I am asking you because Clair is a doctor, and she might be able to help you out..."

Noah was grasping at straws to keep the conversion going.

It almost made Anabella giggle as she recalled a gentle giant like him being all shy and cuddly like he was.

Noah could sometimes be cute, and this was one of those times. It made Anabella want to move her hand through his hair and tug until the Alpha cried out...

’Bad thoughts! Stop thinking like this about your friends. You need to treat them better.’

Anabella calmed down her horny mind as she tried to clean her mind, but it was of no use.

She was in pre-heat, and no matter how pure of a thought she tried to think, it would come back to haunt her sexually. The best thing she could do was stay quiet and not think about anything...which was more difficult than one could imagine.

"Bella, are you there? Did you collapse?"

Noah asked from the other side of the phone, and his voice reminded Anabella that she was not alone.

She quickly spoke back to the alpha she was talking to on the phone.

"Everything is fine. I was just packing and got a little lost in my thoughts regarding the answer to your first question. I will be heading to the heat center in a cab. I did not ask Daniel to escort me because he looked busy, and I did not want to disturb him.

Besides, I have scent patches that cover my neck and scent. It will be fine if I am careful and do not let my scent linger in the taxi I will be taking."

Anabella felt confident that she would be able to take care of herself.

She had not needed anyone else to protect her until now, and she doubted she would need anyone else in the future.

Her words caused Noah’s heart to skip a beat and also feel cold at the same time.

"Anabella, are you telling me that you, an omega on the pre-heat cups and unbonded, want to take a taxi to a heat hotel? Who knows what could happen if you do that? This is beyond reckless.

And your husband did not say anything when you told him about it? He did not complain when you talked about taxiing to the heat hotel. What kind of alpha is he?"

Noah sounded angrier than upset. Or at least, that was how it felt to Anabella. She could be wrong, but she thought she was not.

It was tough not to read too much into this gesture, but Anabella did her best not to think about it.

The less she knew, the better it would be for her mentally.

"I did not talk to Daniel about this. I told him I would go to a heat hotel because of my cycle, but he turned red and ran away. He looked like he was bitten by a snake when I told him, so I decided to handle this on my own. Besides, it will be just fine-"

"It won’t be fine! You don’t know how bad the world can be for an omega like you who is careless enough not to take precautions.

Ugh, this is ridiculous. I have no other choice but to drive you to your destination. Be ready to leave in an hour. I will come and pick you up soon."

The call ended just as abruptly as it had begun. Anabella looked at her phone in shock and awe as she realized what her friend had offered.

"An hour...Shit! He would be here in an hour. I need to clean this place up as soon as possible."

The packing was done, but Anabella’s room had turned into a mess when she picked out the clothes she needed to take.

Most of her heat stuff had been buried deep in the labyrinth that was her closest, and Anabella had taken out most of the clothes (thrown them around to pick up later) when she tried to find what she wanted.

Her clothes littered the floor, the bed, and even parts of her bathroom. There was no escaping her mark; even this room smelled strongly of Anabella’s scent because of her actions and being in pre-heat.

Anabella did not have enough time to clean everything up in an hour, but she got most of what she could before showing up outside.

She ran into Sharon, who only made a frustrated noise at the pheromones she smelled from Anabella. The older omega quickly ran away from that stench, and Anabella realized she still had her old scent pouches, which had turned sour.

She had no time to replace them, so she decided to go without them.

After a long time, Anabella allowed her scent glands to breathe, and they hyper-secreted as a result.

Her scent was heavy to the point where even Anabella could smell it, making her flinch.

’Should I ask Noah not to come? This scent might be too much for an alpha like him. I don’t feel comfortable letting someone else smell my heat-aided scent, even if that person is a friend and taken.’

Anabella was in a predicament, but it was too late to have any regrets. If she wanted to survive this heat, she needed to reach her usually hot hotel in time, which meant getting help from wherever she could.

The gatekeeper and the guards of this place were betas, so they could not smell how strong Anabella’s preheat scent was. But even they could feel how heavy her pheromones felt, and they cringed when she walked past them.

It indicated her scent’s strength, but Anabella pretended she did not notice it. She needed to maintain some part of her dignity as a human being.
