Sorrell entered his office and covered his mouth trying to reduce the sound of his sobs as he plopped beside the wall. Tears dropped down his eyes. He buried his face in his knees. Then a sudden realisation hit him.
"I am scared I might end up killing the Alpha of my omega if I live this close to them."
Was he talking about me? Sorrell's mind raced. But how does he know where I live?"
Sorrell wiped his tears. "He's been stalking me?
Raven's introduction played in his head. "Hi, I am Raven, the new secretary of President Ronan. Good that I met you here, I have been meaning to see you."
"Meaning to see me?" Sorrell mumbled. He knew from the start. Exactly, he is trying to have fun with me cause he thinks I'm easy to have fun with.
Sorrell leaned his head at the wall. It's my fault for loving you so much, Aramin. How could you do this? You said you loved me so much that you didn't even want anyone to know about me. Then how could you do this to me?
Sorrell took out his phone and opened the contact saved as my Aramin. He stared at the contact for a while. You did that cause you knew I would love you regardless. Is that why you never wanted to mark me? Then why would you make the excuse that you didn't want me to be bound since I couldn't have kids with you?
Sorrell wrapped his hands around his head, "Was it all a lie?"
Raven stood outside hearing Sorrell's sobs. Although it was not audible to others, Raven could hear him with his abilities.
Flashback
Raven was walking through the alley of a bar, a bar where Raven could pick a new omega to sleep with. His shoulder brushed against someone, and he smelled a relaxing tuberose scent.
"Wait," he called, turning around to look at the source of the scent.
Sorrell who was in a hurry to find his CEO Ronan and take him home turned around at the voice.
Sorrell's beautiful eyes stared at Raven with curiosity, while Raven took his time tracing his beautiful features. Narrow forehead, medium length hair covering it, large expressive eyes with long eyelashes. And finally, Raven's eyes landed on his lips. Those artfully shaped lips made drunk Raven sober up.
"If you have nothing to say, then I will take my leave," Sorrell said and was about to walk away when Raven walked closer.
"If you are interested, want to spend the night with me," Raven said looking into his eyes.
Sorrell snapped back, "Not interested." He walked away with speedy steps.
Raven let out a sigh and walked away, but later he regretted walking away just like that. He couldn't get over the face of that man and sent people in search of him just by a sketch, which made it much more difficult to find. He couldn't find him for months.
Raven was settled on a seat in the office. A tall man with blue eyes named Michael entered the office holding onto some files. "The omega you asked me to look into is already dating an Alpha," he said, placing the file open, pictures of Sorrell placed on the top.
"I already suspected, since he was exuding pheromones of an Alpha," Raven narrowed his eyes.
"But their relationship doesn't seem well," Michael continued. "His Alpha often assaults him physically. The reason was very hard to find, we had to investigate his Alpha Aramin's family for clues. Apparently, Aramin's family wants offspring, but the omega in question can't get pregnant. That's why his Alpha ends up beating him out of pressure and frustration."
"It's twisted," Raven sighed.
"It's more twisted than that," Michael added, flipping the page of the file. "He can't get pregnant because his Alpha has reproductive problems."
"Then why is he abusing his Alpha for that?" Raven twitched his eyebrows.
"Apparently he is just taking it out on his partner."
"He clearly doesn't deserve him," Raven went through the file. "So he works at Sparkle?"
"Yes, President, he works at Sparkle as an assistant. Although he was working as a secretary, recently they are looking for a secretary, so he might be stepping down from being one."
"A secretary?"
"Yes, there is an advertisement of the available job at their portal."
"Apply there?" Raven said holding onto a coffee cup and taking a sip.
"Pardon me, Sir?"
"Apply with someone's documents, perfect match to their requirements. I will go there for work myself."
Michael never dared to question Raven, cause he hated anyone doing so. If he didn't want to get fired on the spot, he better do what he was told to do.
End of Flashback.
I never meant to lie to you, but I don't want you to hate me. Raven thought glancing at the Sorrell's office door before walking away.
Sorrell got up and washed his face in the restroom. He looked in the mirror. Try your best, you think I would leave my Alpha for a mere Beta who just wants to have fun with me.
Sorrell checked his clothes and took a deep breath before returning to work.
