The Solitary Alpha

36 - Little Ha-neul

Reaching the car she stopped. Sanada turned to her to see what was wrong.

"What is it babe?"

"Can we walk around for a bit?"

"You sure you want to do that? I can still pick up your scent Gi."

"I know, it'll go away in a bit." She searched his eyes for a 'yes' or 'no' answer while giving him her puppy dog stare.

"Okay, let's walk for a bit, then we'll eat and head back to the hotel. Stay close to me until your scent goes away, hear?"

"Yay!" She squeezed his arm in excitement.

The two walked around Gangnam for most of the day, quickly forgetting about the run in with the American. The Omega loved just being out with her mate. She got the typical stares with a few people, mostly humans, being bold enough to approach her and tell her how pretty she was. She kindly smiled and thanked them. Sanada tried to talk her into going into a few stores but she refused. Shopping was something she did only when she had a need and all the stores were crowded.

As they walked, she couldn't help but think about her real dad again. She thought about both of her dads for that matter. They both loved her unconditionally and made sure she knew it, even though one of them she would never get to see. She turned to her Mate.

"Toru?"

"Hm?"

"Is your dad still alive?"

"I don't know Gi.  After he left he only contacted me once and I never heard from him again."

"Oh."  As her voice trailed off, she thought that if he's dad was alive, that maybe it couldn't hurt to connect with him. But then her phone rang, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Who is this calling?" She thought maybe it was Kenji or her dad. Pulling her phone out of her bag it was another unknown number. She dropped the phone back in her bag.

"Who was it babe?"

"I don't know, there wasn't a na-" Her phone rang again.  She had a sinking feeling as she pulled it out the bag again. It was the same unknown number. This time the Alpha took her phone and answered it as they stopped and stepped off to the side and out of the way of others.

"Hello?"

"Let me talk to Gideon. Now!"

"Who's calling?"

"This is her mother! Who is this?"

"Ah, the person I asked not to contact her.  This is her Mate and once again I will end this call as you will not be contacting her."  With that, Sanada ended the call and handed the phone back to Gideon. It rang again and Gideon promptly shut her phone off and dropped it in the bag.

"Thank you hon."

"Yup! Now let's continue enjoying our day."

It was almost 2 in the afternoon and Gideon was not only getting hungry, but tired.  She didn't do well with being in highly emotional states. Stress from her mom calling again and tapping into her Prime state was a bit much for her, but she wanted to fully enjoy her time with her Alpha.

They decided on the BBQ place they had went to before as Sanada had told Lee they would stop by again before leaving Korea. It was easy to convince her Mate since the two males were friends and she felt comfortable around him. Walking back in the car's direction, a group of young men were coming from the opposite way. This time it was Sanada who picked up their Alpha scent. He glared at them as they got closer, causing the young males to cower as they walked past. Gideon saw this and chuckled at her mate and how protective he could be over her. Her lingering scent was pretty much gone.
