Untitled Part 28
Chapter Twenty Eight: The Flower Shop
Miyo~
Miyo walked down the busy street, searching for the flower shop the nurse had recommended to her earlier. She wanted to get Oikawa a bundle of roses-- a welcome home present for when he was discharged from the hospital later that evening.
Pink ones, or perhaps yellow. Something to lighten the mood. Actually, should she get roses at all? Sunflowers were his favorite, but they had no scent to them...
She shook her head, deciding that she could figure out what to get once she actually found the shop. Adjusting her jean shorts against her small waist, she squeezed past a group of teenage Alphas who were crowded out front of a convenience store with their bikes. She was quick to note that there were many Omegas outside, daytime the hours were mostly safe to go about their affairs, so long as they stayed in more public places. However, none of them were below the age of eighteen-- those poor souls were still isolated to their schools and homes. Not that any of the unspoken Omega rules applied to her, she was mated. Even if she wasn't technically still with her Alpha, his scent still did well to ward off any interested parties.
As she scanned the rows of shops and peddlers alongside the bust side street, happy for the humid, sunny day, she felt her phone vibrate in the pocket of her light jeans. She dug it out of the tight fabric and clicked it on with a painted nail.
Where are you? I just got to the hospital.
She smiled down at the welcome text-- the Alpha professor, Ukai, had been pretty well glued to her side since the incident a few days past. The two of them had frequented each other's company since the house merger, especially during their lunch hours, but he had never shown any level of attraction or interest in her. Not that she was surprised by that, her mated scent had really shot that horse in the face. Begrudgingly, Miyo had to admit that she enjoyed the sense of safety and comfort she had been feeling from Ukai's more recent presence...and from his support with everything that had happened to her nest. He was an invaluable Alpha, she could not deny it-- even if he looked like a delinquent with his dyed blonde hair and pierced ears.
She smiled at that thought, but it was filled with sorrow. It would be wise for her to clamp down on her recent attraction for the Alpha-- her mated status would never allow for anything real to happen between them. Shaking her head to banish her happy daydream, her fingers padded at the device in her hand.
I'm just out looking for Binky's Flower Shop, a nurse recommended it. Do you know where it is tho? I can't find it ANYWHERE!
Before she had the chance to tuck her phone away, it buzzed again with Ukai's quick reply.
I think it's near that burger place, uh, JR burgers? Or something that like. I think that It's across the street from there, but I haven't been to this part of town in a while. I'll meet you there though? :) :)
Butterflies fluttered about inside Miyo's stomach at the mere thought of meeting up with the ever-exasperated coach-- a bad sign in her books. Stop it, she internally chastised herself with a subtle roll of her eyes, you're mated! For christ's sake, stop that nonsense. The more time she spent with the Alpha professor at the hospital, the more she had come to realize that her exmate's scent didn't seem to bother him. At least, not like it would to most other Alphas. Just yesterday, Ukai had put a strong hand on her back and rubbed it comfortingly without a second thought. It was as if he was completely ignorant of her mated status! That couldn't be the case, could it? That was impossible! Her brows furrowed and she increased the pace of her walk, trying to physically outrun her annoying, happy thoughts. Fuck, if only she had met Ukai sooner...perhaps then she could pursue her heart's strange desire for the man.
She shook her head once more and grimaced. She needed to think logically. She needed to be realistic. There was no chance for the two of them to be together. Remating was highly rare-- absolutely insane Alphas were the only ones that seemed up to the challenge of remating an Omega. On the off chance, the very off chance, that Ukai would be willing to do something like that...
No! Stop it! She yelled inside her own head, growing angry with her inability to stop her Ukai-oriented train of thought. She stopped walking for a moment and closed her emerald eyes, internally repeating three important facts to shut the idea out forever. There was no way Ukai would even contemplate remating her. There were so many other Omega fish in the sea. In mating with her ex, she had made her bed, and she was doomed to lie in it forever.
She took in a deep breath of clean air, solidifying the facts as her reality, then noticed the burger joint ahead. Across from it lay the quaint florist shop that she had been looking for. She swiftly crossed the street, zig zagging through traffic as she did so. Stepping onto the sidewalk, she glanced up at a massive neon sign with a sculpture of a rose entwined with the pink lettering-- Binky's Flower Shop. The display windows were plastered with stickers of daisies and a small sign beckoned, come on in, in green cursive.
How cute!
Miyo pushed through the glass door, beautifully outlined with copper wire, and a set of brass bells chimed her entrance, alerting the room to her presence. Inside the shop smelled wonderful, swirling fragrances of nature playing heavily in the air. She wanted to live there, among the colourful flowers. In her next life, she would open a flower shop.
"Welcome to Binky's!" A cheerful Alpha called out from behind the counter, adjusting her cream apron over her fit body. "What can we get for you on this fine afternoon!"
She was a beautiful woman, tanned with long blonde hair-- Miyo would do anything to have her fit, curvaceous figure. No matter how much or how hard she worked out, her Omega body remained small and delicate.
"Hi! I'm looking for..." She started, glancing around the shop. She had come for roses, but there were so many choices. The chartreuse walls housed every kind of flower imaginable, even ones she had never seen before.
"Unsure of what you want?" The Alpha woman asked with a toothy smile and Miyo noticed from her scent that she was mated.
"Well..." She started, becoming increasingly overwhelmed with her options. "My darling friend is getting released from the hospital this evening. Thought I might surprise him with...with something floral-like!"
Could she buy every single flower...could she buy the store?
"Oh my!" The blonde woman exclaimed with wide eyes, shaking her head with indignation. "What happened? I mean, we get so many customers from the O.C Hospital. It's atrocious..."
"Oh..." Miyo murmured, surprised with the genuine tone of concern behind the woman's words. "He was...well, he was attacked by Alphas..." She whispered, hoping that her honesty wouldn't offend the woman.
Thankfully, the woman shook her head in disgust, just the reaction that Miyo had hoped for. "So uncivilized. Is he going to be okay? I'm so sorry that happened. Truly."
Miyo was moved by the woman's kindness, she could feel its ingenuity from the scent. She was one of the good Alphas, and there weren't exactly a whole lot of them to go around. Female Alphas could sometimes be even more violent than their male counterparts, particularly towards female Omegas-- but this one, Binky perhaps? She had been raised right.
"He'll be fine! He's a tough cookie," Miyo replied sweetly, waving her hands in front of her to diffuse some of the tension. "He's being released this evening, thank goodness."
"Ah," Binky nodded in understanding, her scent still unhappy from the previous mention of Alpha violence. "Hence the flowers."
"Mmm..." Miyo furrowed her brows and looked around at the wares once more. "Roses are so cliche...he likes sunflowers? But they don't smell like anything, right? It seems like a waste."
"Well!" The blonde woman exclaimed loudly, starling Miyo from her absentminded browsing. "On behalf of all Alphas, let me make you a bundle of my best, most exotic flowers. On the house!" She sang before turning swiftly on her heels to walk into the back room of flowers behind the counter.
"Oh! You don't have to do that!" Miyo leaned over the marble slab, frantically calling into the doorway. "Really!"
"Of course I do!" The shopkeeper replied, waving a hand over her shoulder as she clipped a few flowers at her workbench. "Just give me a few minutes, I want to make sure the arrangement is perfect!"
Miyo sighed in defeat, accepting the kindness of the Alpha stranger, and walked closer to the door to admire the expansive orchid collection-- her favorite breed of flower. As she read out the information on a particularly beautiful violet one, the door bells chimed once more.
"Welcome to Binky's!" She heard the shop keep call out from the back room. "I'll be with you a few minutes! Have a look around!"
Miyo smiled at Binky's happy tone, then a familiar scent snaked in between the shelves of flowers and she immediately recoiled. It hit her nose, assaulting her with its intense masculinity-- its owner was not someone she ever wished to see again. Not in a million years.
Not if they were the last two people on earth.
"Oh my God!" The scent's owner exclaimed as he quickly rounded the shelves to tower over her. "Miyo...wow. What a coincidence."
Sonny. Her personal monster. Her exmate. His overbearing fragrance formed a lump of bile in her throat and she stayed her shaking hands at her sides-- angry that her traitorous body still held an attraction for him.
"What are you doing here?" She seethed, backing further into the maze of flowers, not wanting him anywhere near her.
It was already bad enough that she still smelled like him. Why on earth had fate brought the motherfucker here. Why.
"Woah...hostile," Sonny replied defensively, putting his hands up as if to signify that he meant no harm-- Miyo knew better. "I live just around the corner...I thought I smelled you lurking around here, so I wanted to check it out. You know, I had to find a new place after you kicked me out."
Miyo winced at his piercing statement. It hadn't exactly been easy to get him out of her house-- her house, not his. In fact, he had become so violent when she presented him with divorce papers that she was lucky to escape with just a few broken ribs. And a rather nasty black eye. That had been fun to explain to her students.
It was a good thing she knew a few sympathetic Alpha lawyers...otherwise she would have been stuck with the damn monster.
"You're clearly not happy to see me..." Her exmate complained, playful, but there was a threatening undertone in his voice that had Miyo shivering with unwanted dread. Sonny ignored her upset scent and stuck his head between the orchids to look at her, his green eyes primal. Hostile. "My, my, you are still an absolute knockout!" He whistled, giving her a salacious wink. "Too bad you're mine for all eternity, eh?"
"Nope. Not really happy to see you," Miyo declared plainly, ignoring the backhanded compliment-- and his stabbing remark at her decision to mate with him in the first place. What the fuck had she seen in him in the first place?
She held her ground as he moved in closer, unwilling to let him bully her into submission. If she didn't have a heart of steel, she wouldn't have made it this far in her professional life-- certainly not as an Omega. She could handle one dumb, overeager Alpha. She had to.
The silence between them was cutting, but Miyo refused to relinquish. Then, the door chimed once more, briefly tearing her gaze away from Sonny. "Miyo?" A second, familiar voice called out, deep tone carrying over the various flowers.
She hazarded a glace towards the front entrance, ignoring the domineering figure in front of her, and noticed a blonde head, sticking out above the shelves.
Ukai. Shit...shit!
Admittedly, she was relieved that the Alpha professor had arrived, but it was quickly replaced with a deep seated dread. While she was happy to have some potential support against her exmate, she was still unwilling to get Ukai involved in her problems. He had already done enough for her and her nest. When it came to her own, personal matters, she had always been able to handle herself, and her ex, just fine.
Ukai rounded the tall shelves, his blonde head bobbing above the orchids. Then, he stepped in behind Sonny, broad shoulders suddenly bristling with hot anger. "Can I help you?" He growled and placed a large hand on Sonny's tense shoulder, threatening her exmate with a fresh and dominant scent.
Sonny snapped around at the touch and snarled, baring white teeth. Miyo took advantage of the man's distraction and briskly shuffled out her flower barricade to stand next to Ukai. "Who the fuck are you?" Sonny barked in question and shrugged off Ukai's heavy grip. "You need something, buddy?"
Miyo noticed Ukai's lips curl back, almost in a snarl, but he quickly caught himself and remained poised. "A friend of Miyo's," he replied in a hostile, challenging tone. "Who you're making very uncomfortable."
"Well," Sonny regarded, dark eyes fixed on Ukai, intense and angry. "Friend of Miyo's, she and I are trying to have a conversation. So you can fuck right off."
Ukai's throat rumbled and Miyo felt a warm bubble of relief burst inside of her chest-- she hadn't felt this type of Alpha protection in a long time. It was foreign to her now. "Oh, really?" Ukai remarked, raising a challenging eyebrow.
"Yeah, really," Sonny said through gritted teeth.
As Sonny's prolific scent poured out, Miyo felt her own mated fragrance increase. She did her best to combat it, but it was too instinctively entwined with her own-- her efforts did nothing to quell it. She absolutely detested that her own Omega scent still reacted to Sonny's presence. She hated herself for mating with the bastard in the first place. He was a lowlife, a deadbeat.
What the fuck had she been thinking? Curse her, for always taking in fixer uppers.
"No," she interjected the growling Alphas and took a confident step forward, pointing a blue nail into her exmate's tense face. "We aren't aren't having a conversation. We were done having conversations three months ago. We are done. What do you not understand about that? We. Are. Done."
Ukai's large hand landed on her shoulder, protectively supporting her from behind, and she glanced back, astonished by his actions. She and Sonny were mated. She loathed it, but it was the truth. When she had left the relationship, she had pretty well accepted that she would spend the rest of her life in solitude. A lonely, bitter old maid for all eternity. Yes, ballsy Alphas were known to approach Omegas that were permanently scented. So, Ukai was ballsy. Was he crazy enough to claim property that wasn't his? Now, Miyo wasn't so sure of the answer. Here was Ukai, obviously aware that she and the Alpha before them were mated, but ignoring it. He was willingly touching her-- putting his hands on an Omega that wasn't his...in front of her mate.
It was as if he was challenging Sonny-- contesting his ownership of her.
Taunting her ex? Why?
"You heard the lady. Get the fuck out of here," Ukai snarled over her shoulder, moving close to her body from behind. So close, that she would feel the angry heat radiating off of his tanned skin. His protective scent engulfed her with its invigorating nature-- calm, yet resolute. She breathed it in to steady her own conviction.
Sonny snarled viciously at Ukai's audacity, at the unapologetic touching of his mate.
Ukai was much too close to her...it was going to cause a fight...it was going to pull Ukai into her business. She couldn't do that to the Alpha professor, it wouldn't be right. At that tragic thought, Miyo took a small step back, away from the two Alphas, away from Ukai.
A high pitched roar burst into the air and Miyo slightly flinched at the rage behind it. "OI! ARE THESE BOYS GIVING YOU TROUBLE?"
Miyo snapped her neck towards the sound, watching with astonished eyes as the female shop keep hopped over the front counter with ease, crossed the room in a few swift strides and, pulled Miyo in behind her. She released a possessive scent that blanketed the room, alerting the two men that Miyo was not up for grabs.
Could...could Binky tell that she was no longer with Sonny? Was she that sensitive to emotions...to know that they weren't formally together anymore? Did she willingly ignore the mated scent and intervene? It made no sense!
"Do I need to kick these fuckers out?" Binky asked quietly, snarling at the men before her, showing her white teeth in challenge.
"J-just the brunette," Miyo stuttered out, completely stunned by the entire affair.
"Get out," the blonde woman growled without missing a beat, jerking her head towards the door.
"Really? Seriously." Sonny barked, his throat rumbling in angry hesitation-- worried that two strong Alphas were in a sudden coalition, ready and waiting to attack him if he made a move they didn't consent to.
"Yes. Leave." Ukai spat out, snarling in unison with the female Alpha at his side.
Sonny flashed Miyo a nasty look and leaned in close to her face. Ukai stiffened at the move and the blonde women let out a threatening growl, upset with his breach of territory. "This isn't over Miyo. Not by a long shot," he seethed into her face, but she refused to flinch at the ominous warning.
She wasn't afraid of him. She hadn't been afraid of him in a long time. Not since she had left him.
With that final, threatening statement, Sonny straightened up to full height and pushed past Ukai, bumping shoulders as he did so. Without another word or glance, he exited the shop, slamming the door behind him-- the copper bells ringing out his anger.
Miyo let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding in as the door rattled through the now silent room. She was grateful when Sonny's scent began to quickly dissipate among the fragrant flowers. It was an atrocious fragrance, salty and masculine, and she was forced to carry it with her at all times-- she didn't want it to be any stronger than it had to be. Thankfully, with Sonny gone, it would mellow out, back to its usual form.
"Good riddance," Binky chirped, wiping her hands in front of her as if to rid herself of Sonny's filth. "What a piece of work he is. It's a good thing you've got such a strong Alpha watching over you!" She continued, granting Miyo with a sly wink.
"Um..." Miyo tried to reply, but faltered, blushing at the forward remark. "Yeah, he is a piece of work. I definitely made some shitty mistakes in my youth! That god I'm smarter now."
"What a piece of shit," Ukai growled, completely ignorant of her and Binky's exchange. He stood bristling, eyeing down the front door with dark, nearly feral eyes. "I'm going to make sure the fucker isn't loitering around outside," he barked, to no one in particular, and swiftly exited the shop.
Miyo blinked slowly, watching the Alpha professor stride towards the door. She could smell his agitation, it swirled into her nostrils when he passed by her stunned form. She couldn't, for the life of her, come to a solid conclusion that explained his attitude. He hadn't reacted to Sonny, to her mate, in the way that most other Alphas would have. He was...defensive of her. Almost...protective. As if he felt that she was his.
No. No, stop thinking like that, Miyo! She cursed under her breath, then internally reiterated her truths. She and Ukai were friends, but friendship would not hold out against mated scents. Everything that had just happened, Ukai's protective and domineering fragrance over her, it was a fluke.
"Well! Would you look at that!" The female Alpha exclaimed, swatting Miyo playfully on the shoulder. Miyo glanced up at the woman, brows furrowed. "He most certainly wants to scent you!" Binky continued, shuffling on her feet, energized by the recent conflict.
Miyo stiffened at the words-- wants to...what? She had never smelled any level of attraction for her in Ukai's scent. Not ever! Yes, even she had to admit that she found the man devilishly charming, in his own, unpolished sort of way, but they could never be anything more than friends. If only she had met him sooner. The delinquent professor, sympathetic to the Omega cause-- she wouldn't mind being tied to him for eternity.
"Hey now!" Binky started up again, sensing the Miyo's mental unrest. "Just because you were mated with that knothead, doesn't mean you're off the market for good."
Miyo glanced up at the beautiful woman, confused. "I...I...well...do you know how slim my chances are?" She asserted, unsure of why she felt comfortable enough to express her darkest feelings to a stranger. "I would need to come across an absolutely mad Alpha. And I have standards..."
"Okay girly, listen here," Binky said sweetly, turning to face her. "I rescented my mate. Yeah, I guess it's uncommon, but it happens! I mean, Juno, my Omega, he was mated with this piece of shit Alpha named Asuno. I mean, as far as Alphas come, he was the worst of the worst. He used to beat my mate and..." She trailed off, vibrating with renewed anger at the recollection.
Miyo could smell the unchecked rage accumulating, darkening the woman's eyes as her feral instincts kicked into gear. She opened her mouth to say something, to change the subject, but was quickly cut short.
"Whatever. Whatever!" Binky conceded, holding her hands up in resignation. She took in a heavy breath, then smiled sweetly. "My point is, when I met Juno, I didn't give two shits that he was mated already. Well, at first I did, but after a while, I sort of stopped caring. Sure, Asuno's scent made me sick to my stomach, like, sometimes, even being next to Juno made me want to vomit! But that didn't stop me. I mean, it took some time and some sweet talking on my part, but eventually, I gained his trust, and the rest is history!"
Miyo frowned. "Was...was Asuno's scent gone after you...scented your Omega? It takes more than that, right?" Unwarranted hope had prompted her to ask the question, but she already knew the answer.
Why was she still entertaining that idea of her and Ukai being together? She needed to stop.
The shopkeeper smiled, sullen, and shook her head. "No. I wish it had been that easy." When Miyo noticeably slumped, Binky embraced her warmly and guided her over to the counter. "Once we slept together...I mean...when Juno was in heat, then I replaced it. It took a few cycles to fully get rid of it completely, Asuno had a fucking dominant scent, but I didn't care. It was...exhilarating...forcing it out with my own! Juno was mine, he belongs to me, not to that fucker." She suddenly cried out in victory, holding Miyo by the shoulders at arms length, reassuring her with her touch. "That blonde guy, that motherfucker nearly went feral at the sight of your mate! I saw it, you saw it, we all saw it! He's definitely more dominant that shitty brunette Alpha, I can smell it," she continued, tapping her nose with a knowing finger. "So just...just...don't give up hope, okay? You don't know what could happen. You won't know until you talk to him."
Don't give up hope...a small smile flickered across Miyo's face, but she quickly banished it. She wasn't about to allow herself the satisfaction of hope. Asking something so terrible of Ukai was not something she was ever planning on doing. Even if she did want to mate with him, it was still out of the question.
"Now," Binky said, dragging Miyo towards the register. "Let's get you those flowers!"
Ukai~
Ukai was half way to feral. He was in a vengeful mood. Agitated and aggressive. Now, he had a face to put to the disgusting scent that Miyo carried with her, day and night. The instant he had walked into the flower shop, he had smelled her distress. No...that wasn't right-- he had smelled it from nearly a block away. It had taken every ounce of will in his being to stomach a sudden onset of nausea when he had placed a hand on Miyo's slight shoulder in front of her mate. However, it had also granted him a massive adrenaline rush.
Taunting her exmate...it felt...right.
Sonny's threatening words skittered across his mind, nearly sending him into a wild blaze of fury-- this isn't over Miyo, not by a long shot. Oh, but it was. He was going to make sure that it was. He was never going to allow the man near his Omega again. Not ever.
"Hey!" A familiar voice echoed through his dark mind, piercing the flurry of anger, swirling about inside his skull. "Ukai...?"
He shook his head, unable to clear his instincts away-- they were too loud, screeching and fuming with wild rage.
"Um...are you okay?" Miyo asked softly, from where what he could only imagine was a few feet away.
"I'm fine," he snarled, crossing his broad arms over his chest in a pout. Her scent was renewing his nausea, driving him mad. He just wanted to smell her. Just her, not her mated scent. Not Sonny.
"Okay, well, I wanted to thank you, for what you did in there. I'm sorry you had to get involved...I didn't mean for that to happen the way it did."
Miyo's tender words faded into nothing, drowned out by his primal instincts. He wanted to punch something, preferably the face of the Alpha fuckboy that had touched her. She was his.
Wait, his conscious mind shot through his screeching feral nature, what was she apologizing? Why? He had gotten involved because he wanted to...no...because he had needed to. As the logical thoughts passed over his mind, his instincts poured back, roaring at him in a flurry of jealous envy. Mine. Not. His. Keep her safe. Kill Sonny. Scent her. Mate her. They screeched, like nails on a chalkboard, clouding his conscious mind once more-- it was taking everything he had to not snap in two.
After a few brief moments of struggle, he decided that he was going to have to resign to them, if only for a few hours. They clearly were not going anywhere, he needed to give them time to calm down, in private. He summoned the last vestiges of his conscious mind and gently shuffled Miyo back into the shop, ignoring her verbal interjections as he did so.
"Wait here," he commanded once they were back inside the quaint confines of the florist's shop. He couldn't look at her, not right now. It would be too painful. He could still smell Sonny's scent, radiating off her slender figure. If he saw her emerald eyes, he wouldn't be able to keep it together. He would snap and he had no idea what his instincts would do if that came to pass. When Miyo began to verbally protest he hastily added, "please, just give me a second. I can't...handle myself right now. I know you'll be safe here. Just wait for me."
Hoping that the raven Omega would stay put, he strode over to the blonde Alpha behind the counter. "Hey," he barked, frustrated with his inability keep his anger from his tone.
The blonde Alpha gave him a wicked smirk and leaned onto the counter. "Hey..."
"I need a favor. Another... favor," he growled, running a large hand through his blonde hair. He was incredible grateful that the woman had sided with him against Sonny, and even more pleased that she had helped prevent the conflict from escalating further. Alphas could be stupid, brawling over any aggressive scent regardless of its nature. She was a wise Alpha, and they were rare.
"Shoot," the shop keep commanded, smartly reeling in her scent so that it wouldn't incite his own vengeful one any further.
"Can you...can you walk Miyo back to the hospital for me. I can't...be around her right now. I-"
"You're fucking close to going feral, that's for sure!" The blonde woman interrupted him with a throaty laugh. Then, her eyes went dark, vicious and calculating. "Even I want to snap that fucker's neck, and I don't even know the history."
Ukai let out a breath of relief at her willingness to help him. He hardly even knew the woman, but her actions spoke for themselves. She was a trustworthy Alpha, he knew it in his bones.
"I will absolutely pay you for the lost business hours..." He growled quietly, not wanting Miyo to hear their plotting.
The blonde shopkeeper waved a hand out in front of her and shook her head. "Fuck no. No need to do that, we close in an hour anyways," she sang sweetly and hopped over the counter, taking off her cream apron. "And my mate's out of town, so I'm down for a little romp of adventure!"
"I will repay you. I promise," Ukai added, seeping gratitude alongside his agitated scent.
"EXCUSE ME!" Miyo yelled out from the door in a tone that made him suddenly stiffen. She was very, very mad. "ARE YOU MAKING PLANS ABOUT ME, WITHOUT ME?!"
He sighed and closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose. He knew it was rude to insert himself in Miyo's life, but he couldn't stop himself. He had recognized that he had an innate desire to keep her safe, and it was too overwhelming for him to fight against. Perhaps, it was clouding his better judgement, but he didn't care.
"Go for a run. Cool off. I'll handle shit, don't worry," Binky said quietly, patting his shoulder before walking over to the irritated Omega by the door.
Ukai nodded and quickly snuck past Miyo's bristling form to rush out of the shop.
"HEY WHERE ARE Y-" He heard the her shout at him as he closed the door. He ignored her. He needed to get out of there. Now.
He was going to meet the raven Omega at the hospital, it wasn't even a question, but he needed an hour to get his Alpha emotions under control before seeing her again. Otherwise, he would say something, or do something, that he would regret... like hunting down Sonny and slitting his throat. The thought of losing Miyo, which he certainly would if he kept submitting to his instincts, made him want to die. Pang after pang of terror permeated his being and in that moment, as he stood bristling outside the flower shop in the Fukui district, he suddenly realized that he loved the raven Omega. He didn't know why, when, or how it had happened, but it had, and now, he needed to figure out what he was going to do about it.
As he walked down the sidewalk towards the ocean, he mentally promised that he would do everything in his power to keep her safe. Even if she didn't return his feelings...he would follow her every day for the rest of his life to defend her.
