He slipped in the sheets.
"Hey…Kavya."
"Hm?…"
"Can you release some of your pheremones for me?"
I nodded. Wait…how do you do this again?
Alex thought about his love. His one and only love he had his eyes on since day 1.
"Hey, man! We can all smell your pheremones from here!"
So, all I had to do was think about him?…
I looked at him. His untied hair settled down on his shoulders while his smile was slightly curved up. How beautiful.
"Ah…thank you, Kavya…"
Really? That was all it took?

He breathe deeply in his sleep. I rubbed my eyes and my feet walked across the cold marble floor. I slid the patio door open and closed it. My feet settled on the hard wood while I looked into the night sky. I could see the stars more clearly in this universe, as they shone brightly in the sky, the Milky Way slightly visible.
"I hope you're doing bettter without me, Antoine," I chuckled, "maybe I don't belong there. It was selfish for me to want to go back, right? What was I thinking? I'll only hurt you more."
The cold autumn wind caressed my skin. I exhaled sharply.
Could I finally…belong somewhere?…
*
On second thought, maybe this universe wasn't that different. I leaned back on my office chair and sighed. How many damn files were they going to send to me?!
I walked down the stairs. My body shifted nervously. Something was wrong…but maybe I was just anxious.
I reached into my pockets, but I couldn't feel my phone. Instead, a piece of paper was crumpled up in my pocket. I pulled it out and unfolded it.
"Don't be with him. Come with me."
My eyes widened and I dropped the paper. What. The actual. Fuck. I ran out the building and looked around. There's gotta be a pay phone somewhere…right. Now, fuck, this is the 21st century. I ran up to a guy in a suit.
"Hey, can I use your phone for a call just for a minute?"
"Uhm, sure."
I typed in Antoine's number and the phone buzzed.
"Hello?"
"Yeah, I need you to pick me up from work, but we can't go to your place."
"What?…"
"I'll explain when I get there."
*
I ran into the car and slammed the door.
"Quick…drive out of here."
"Why are you-"
"Drive!"
He stepped on the pedal and the engine roared. My body was thrown back.
"Now, Kavya, tell me what's wrong."
"Nothing! I-"
"You know how much I hate it when you lie to me."
"Ha…okay…"
I twiddled with my fingers.
"I'm being…stalked…"
"WHAT?!"
"Yeah…it's really crazy. The person even took my phone and everything. That's why I contacted you with someone else's phone."
"Ha…Kavya…can you tell me everything in detail?"
*
He tapped the steering wheel while looking towards the sidewalk.
"That's fucked up." he said.
My eyes widened. He rarely swore, even when something terrible happened.
"Yeah…so we can't go to your place."
"Why?…"
"The note clearly says don't go with him. They'll probably track you down."
"I don't think he would dare come to my home."
"…Antoine?…"
"Hm?"
"Are you being serious?"
He smiled slightly, but his eyes drooped.
"I…Okay then we won't go to my place. We can't go to your place either, so…I guess we'll have to settled for a hotel. For now."
"Until this situation is settled."
"Yeah…"
His blinks were slow and long.
"Antoine?…Are you okay?"
"Yeah…I'm just…tired."
"Let's go to the nearest one, okay? Then, you'll be able to settle down."
"Mhm…"
*
I closed the door behind me. His body flopped onto the king sized bed.
"Ah…" he sighed.
"You like it?"
"Mhm…"
He looked at me with his emerald eyes. The scent filled my nose and I exhaled.
"Aren't you…tired?" my voice wavered.
"Not anymore." he said with a soft voice.
"Bullshit." I laughed.
He released more of his pheromones. My knees fell to the ground while my body heated.
"Fuck…Antoine…are you trying to torture me?…"
His foot rubbed against my crotch. I groaned.
"Hm?…" he hummed.
"You…"
He grabbed my chin.
"No matter what happens, you'll always stay by my side, right?"
"Yeah…"
"Then tell me. Tell me you'll be mine."
"Pft…isn't it supposed to be other way around, since I'm the alpha."
"Who said that?…There's no forced standards in this world, okay?"
I was going to ask why he said, "in this world", but before I could react, he pulled me closer to him. I gasped. His hand pushed my head towards his crotch area, just enough for my lips to touch the clothing over it. My eyes looked up at his smug face.
"Do you want it?…"
"Yes…"
"You'll have do something for me first."
"What?"
"Tell me you'll never leave."
"I don't need to-"
"Did you hear me? I told you to do something for me."
"Ha…I'll…never leave."
A crease formed on the corner of his cheeks and he pulled my head, pushing his lips against mine.
He sucked in my breath and breathed, "You're mine."
