➣Chapter 7
On the second day, the medical examination and treatment began; everything was carefully prepared before the people lined up to be examined. Aphatsara was by Jindarat's side, performing the duties of a nurse, but she still acted strangely distant towards Jindarat. Of course, Jindarat could feel this completely, and she had also planned to give Aphatsara an explanation about her relationship with Prapatsara. Even though Jindarat still couldn't figure out the answer to her own feelings, she wouldn't let Aphatsara continue to misunderstand her.
"Doctor, is your girlfriend mad at you?" and when Aphatsara left to get supplies at the request of another nurse, Jindarat couldn't help but look after her with concern, which was noticed by an elderly patient who teased her.
"Actually, we are not lovers." Jindarat faced that teasing, denying it while smiling wryly.
"Mali, can we talk?" After examining the patient, the first thing Jindarat did was pull Aphatsara aside to talk.
"If it's about patients or other team work, I'm willing to listen to you." Aphatsara's response today was also unusual, Jindarat clearly understood that her anger was not small. Looking at her like this, Jindarat somehow felt that it was cute when she secretly showed her sulk.
"It's not about the medical examination. Actually, Sara and I are cousins. She's my uncle's daughter."
"And what are you telling me for? Even though you and Sara aren't cousins, what relationship you have has nothing to do with me." It's not that Aphatsara really didn't care or that she said something untrue because she was angry, but this was also a test for herself to know her position in Jindarat's heart.
"I was afraid you would misunderstand, so I had to clarify. And I thought... you were angry with me because I was close to Sara?"
"I don't have the right to be angry with you, do I? If I don't have the right, then it doesn't matter how much I misunderstand." Although she said that, when she turned away, Aphatsara felt like a burden had been lifted from her heart, but because she had turned away, Jindarat couldn't see the shy smile behind it when Aphatsara pursed her lips and smiled, her chest fluttered as well.

The medical examination continued after everyone finished lunch, Aphatsara's attitude also changed after receiving a clear explanation from Jindarat, both of them still worked together but the atmosphere was different from that of the morning. And of course, Prapatsara who was observing from the side also noticed that, most clearly when Prapatsara brought water to Jindarat, she no longer felt hostility from Aphatsara.
"Lady Sara, I have something... to apologize to you." After finishing the medical examination, Aphatsara took the initiative to go to Prapratsara to apologize for the bad misunderstandings she had had in the past.
"Apologize? For what?" Of course, Prapatsara understood what Aphatsara wanted to apologize to her for, but still acted as if she didn't understand.
"I misunderstood you and Doctor Jade, because I didn't know you two are cousins."
"Then Jade must have told you everything. Actually, I can't blame you, because you're not the only one who thinks that way. It's also partly because we didn't make it clear from the beginning, which caused an unnecessary misunderstanding."
"Does that mean you're not mad at me?" Seeing Aphatsara's still guilty expression, Prapatsara wanted to continue teasing her if possible, but everything was clear now, so Prapatsara just shook her head with a bright smile on her lips, unable to hide her pleasure in showing that she had no intention of blaming her.
"Mali!" Suddenly, Aphatsara's body fell down, causing Prapatsara to panic and quickly caught her. Feeling dizzy, Aphatsara's body temperature also increased and she also felt the change inside her as the hot, uncomfortable feeling gradually spread.
"You're in heat." Feeling Aphatsara's body heating up, trembling in her arms, and the sweat pouring out, the breathing becoming heavy, and the jasmine scent growing stronger by the second, Prapatsara knew what was coming.
______
"Is Mali okay?"
Hearing that Aphatsara had an accident, Jindarat immediately ran to the tent where Prapatsara had brought her to, with the help of other nurses to check on the situation. When she arrived, she saw Prapatsara blocking the door. Although it was separated by a layer of tent fabric, the scent of jasmine still spread out, making Jindarat feel a little hot when she smelled it. So she immediately covered her nose with her hand, trying to control her rationality.
"She's in heat, I gave her some suppressant medicine so it's okay. But...I think it would be better with your help."
"Me, help her? How can you help Mali? She's not injured or needs me to examine her?" Hearing Jindarat ask again, Prapatsara's face immediately darkened, sighing at her cousin's reaction when this really needed to be said directly?
"So are you an Alpha after all? Do I need to say something like that directly?"
"Alpha...something like that...You want me to be intimate with Mali? That's absolutely not allowed." Jindarat's answer and overreaction made Prapatsara want to bite her tongue on the spot as her cousin's way of thinking was really too far-fetched.
"I just want to ask you to temporarily mark her. Just think about it, in the forest like this, with an Omega in heat like this, even if she used suppressants, the risk was not small. Especially since there are not only hospital people around here, so I want to ask you to temporarily mark Mali to ensure her absolute safety. Also, if your pheromones are soothing her, there is no need to overuse suppressants, it will not have a good effect."
"If you could take care of yourself like that, that would be even better. But if both you and Mali were in heat at the same time, what do you think I should do?"
"I can take care of myself."
______
Jindarat, after being persuaded by Prapatsara, had already entered the tent, and Prapatsara was still outside to ensure that everything was in order. The scent of jasmine, although not as strong as before due to the effects of the suppressant, still made Jindarat feel as if her heart was on fire. Trying to regulate her breathing, Jindarat used all her reason to control her instincts. Only when she was sure that she could not harm Aphatsara, did she dare to approach.
Aphatsara lay on the mattress, surrounded by a mess of blankets and pillows while she was still curled up there. Sweat poured down her forehead, under her neck, and behind her glands that could not control the secretion of pheromones. Looking at Aphatsara lying there, her body limp with her breaths ragged and unstable, Jindarat could not help but feel sorry for her. Jindarat reached out to brush her hair - the strands were disheveled, stuck to her face because of sweat, just a small action made Aphatsara lying there feeling agitated.
"Doctor Jade..." in a rapid breath, Aphatsara vaguely saw Jindarat approaching her. At this stage, she had no energy to think of anything else when any small gesture could easily make her be dominated by instinct.
"Don't worry. I won't let myself harm you."
Jindarat assured, continuing to lift Aphatsara's hair so that the hot scent gland was exposed to her. Jindarat now leaned down, a light bite on that place so that the mark was only temporary, stabilizing the Omega's pheromones when an Alpha marked.
______
"Is Mali okay Jade?"
Prapatsara was the first person Jindarat saw when she stepped out of the tent, zipping it up to make sure it was sealed. The first thing Prapatsara did was to ask about the situation of the person inside and honestly, deep down, she also felt that what had just happened was a big risk. But Prapatsara trusted her cousin, because Jindarat had always been the one who put reason first.
"She's fine. Please stay here and take care of Mali. Because you're the only one not affected by my pheromones, since we're related by blood. To keep other Alphas from coming near, I'll release my pheromones around this area, and the other Omegas in the group are all married so there's nothing to worry about."
"I know, just let me look after her."
Prapatsara assured. Jindarat then left with peace of mind, tonight was also their last night sleeping in the forest. When Jindarat left, Prapatsara immediately returned to the tent, where Aphatsara was wriggling around in the pile of blankets. But inside the pile of blankets, there was a military jacket left behind that Aphatsara was rubbing against as a way to relieve the itchiness of her body that was tormented by heat. And if Prapatsara guessed correctly, that was what Jindarat had left behind, and the sandalwood scent in the air still hadn't faded, proving that her pheromones were still present somehow.
"Sara, stop looking..." Aphatsara spoke out of embarrassment when she caught the other party staring at her. Hearing that, Prapatsara could only laugh, then immediately turned her face away so as not to have to look at Aphatsara in such a situation anymore. And Prapatsara could also rest assured that she had not placed her trust in Jindarat wrongly.
"I hope you'll realize something after this, Countess Jindarat."
