His Beta of Submission

sixteen

I found myself running, I was running again...

This time I left Remi with my parents. I can't bring him with me. There is no way that I would bring Remi with me right now.

There's too much of a risk.

Why do I have to do this? I know that I don't have to...but I don't want Remi getting hurt. The threats typically would not bother me, but they are now. I can't allow Remi to be hurt by anyone because of me.

If I have to run...for Remi's sake, I'll do that. Even if it means I have to be away from Ezra...it's okay. His brother has no bounds and no ends. He really doesn't want Ezra to be happy. 

I can tell he's threatened. I've come to decipher that when Ezra is happy...he gets more powerful in a sense. With Remi and me around...he was becoming happy. Xavion saw that and he now wants us gone.

I wouldn't leave...but he's threatened Remi. It's no longer even a thought. I can't stay there.

"Have you heard about the crisis?"

I stop in my tracks, looking up at the TV in the train station. There were even some people stopping for the news since the words were in bold red.

"What crisis?" The news castor plays dumb with the persons beside him. It made me curious because it was obvious that something was wrong.

"The unintentional bonding crisis. There has been a rise on bonds being formed with people that are not supposed to be made. Everyone knows a Bond comes from a bite mark on the neck, but this one is different - much more rarer and less reported."

"How different?"

"For this bond, it is highly unlikely that this will happen to just anyone. Except this one is much more powerful than an intentional Bond. This bond comes from the two persons. It can happen between any differentiation and sex - that's the unusual part about this type of Bond. Normal bonds can't be made with Betas, for this one - it can be. Listen, this is unconventional in a way, but this Bond is made by scent alone. It's a collision of scents and pheromones that can lock themselves onto the persons. This will therefore confuse the body into thinking that you are bonding." The lady explains in such fascination, and a guy slams his hand on the table.

"Isn't that what normal bonds are? You bite your significant others neck and their scent enters into the partners body, same the other way around? Then a Bond is made...but in this case it is just the overflowing amount of pheromones and scents... Is it really that easy?" He grips his chin, thinking on such a thing.

I was even thinking on that. I couldn't imagine such a thing. You accidentally bonding with someone and you may not even know it until it's too late... That would be a travesty in itself.

"It's not easy, like I said earlier, it is very rare. I can only imagine... If it was unintentional and neither parties knew they have done so. They could go on with their lives and slowly start to lose energy, become sick, and not even know why. There can't be a cure except the person they bonded with-."

"But they would slowly start to die - possibly truly dying because they don't know who they bonded with. They probably wouldn't know that they did and it could just be a slow killer. That could drive a person mad...especially when you find out and you have to retrace your steps to find out who you have bonded with...that's insane." He shook his head wildly, and another guy snorts.

"Bonds are supposed to be nice things, sweet and amorous. Though this doesn't sound like that at all. This is horrible, makes me happy I don't desire to bond with anyone. That you could just simply die without that person...how someone can have that much power over another... Horrible, that's not something I want." The man confesses how he feels.
