Married into Alpha Lord

Chapter 42

I startled a bit when I open the car door, just because I found a person who shouldn't be there. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Picking you up," Darren answered. "Wasn't I supposed to be one who got picked first? I thought you are going to finish around evening," I look at the current time with my watch. "You finished early?" I asked again. He nodded. I raise my eyebrow but then just climb in and close the door.

"Something happened at the gathering?" Darren lean closer. "Not really," I said. "...Why?"

"You smelled," Darren pulled me and comes toward my neck, "...sweet." He gives me kisses on it. I'm confused. I use my usual perfume and he never mentions anything about my smell before. Ah! Perhaps...

"It's not mine," I said as Darren continue licking and sucking the skin around my neck. "One of the Omega was suddenly in heat. The pheromones probably linger," I said. He didn't reply anything, doesn't seems to care as he continues doing whatever he wants.

"You like it?" I asked. Darren stops his action after the sudden question and pulled, looking at my eyes. "No," he said then lean back to his original position, and the car goes.

At that moment I know his answer is a lie. When our eyes met, I could see a glimpse of lust in it.

Pity. Alphas are not that different from Omegas, controlled by fate and desire. Many Betas probably feel desperate for not being included in this world's equation. I'm still conflicted about it.

The next two days were spent calmly.

I just stay at the house, in the room, reviewing the research result that was sent from Dorsenburg. Then, I also help Darren's work. Well, technically I did his work as he needs to meet people out. He invited me to join but I gladly reject as meeting people only creates headaches. 

His works are not that complicated, many are classic cases that don't need too much thought on what should be done. At least for me, it was easy. I've encounter similar cases before. I make sure to gave notes on what he should look after and gave suggestions on the options that he might find. It's just a fill-in. Finishing all up, I wrote up ideas that could be explore for my next research.

I got permission to go to the city, again with at least Harry's accompanies, but as I said before, after meeting too many people these days, I just want to shut myself inside. I came out for dinner with the others tho, that's at least I should do instead of being a total shut-in.

I still remember the little disruption on the day Darren pick me. It's not like I really bothered, I read that Omega's pheromones affect a lot to people around them especially Alpha. That's just how nature works in this world. I never felt hurt on people's insult about me being a male Beta, marrying an Alpha. I accept it once before. That day, I pour out my emotions and break down the wall. It's needed to unleash the contained feeling. That time I destroy everything, feeling relieved afterward, then create a stronger forte.

"Caden, there's a guest for you," Harry suddenly called me as I put down my book. 

"Who?" I asked. "They said they are your friend whom you met at the party," Harry replied. I never remember making friends. "Lady Christina looked happy to hear you make friends and invite them in. So... it's not like I can drive them out or anything," Harry said. "Sorry, I'm not good at remembering faces and names," he added.

I nodded telling it's okay then putting my pen down and stood up.

I look at a man and two girls sitting on the sofa. I recognize all from the profiles I read before. Two are them are from Marquiss's house who works in the capital. The other one is just a Baron daughter from the West. As for their name... it's not that important. Let's call them A, B, and C.
