After a nap, Levi woke up to the sound of a knock.
Dr. Elias had come to call them to his office to see the results.
The office felt cramped, with four people inside, even when Ethan and Junior both maintained a safe distance from Levi.
Dr. Elias settled behind his desk with a tablet and several printed reports, his expression carefully neutral in the way medical professionals perfected when delivering complicated news. He glanced between Noah and Levi, seeming to weigh his words.
"The results are... comprehensive" he began, which immediately put Levi on edge. In his experience, when doctors used words like 'comprehensive' they were usually preparing to deliver information you didn't want to hear.
"Your compatibility markers are extraordinary, Levi. The highest I've ever recorded for a Type B alpha pairing. Your pheromone signatures don't just complement each other – they're practically designed to work together."
Levi turned to glance at Noah who sat still with no expression.
"However, there are some... unusual findings that we need to discuss" He pulled up an image on his tablet. It looked like a detailed scan of Levi's torso.
"The mate mark, for instance".
Noah frowned "What about it?"
"Typically, mate marks appear on the neck – it's the most accessible location during mating, and the scent glands there make it the logical choice for a bonding bite" Dr. Elias highlighted an area on the scan.
"Yours is not on your neck".
"Where is it then?" Noah asked, his voice coming out odd.
Dr. Elias cleared his throat slightly and stared at Levi. "On your left nipple, actually. Along with evidence of multiple bite marks across your chest and torso that are healing with speed".
Silence
Levi stared at the scan as if processing the information together with what he'd just heard.
'Of course' The animal alpha had been biting the omega throughout the entire rut encounter. The placement wasn't surprising, given how obsessed the alpha was with them.
"That's not entirely uncommon with Type B alphas" Dr. Elias continued, seeming to interpret their silence as shock rather than resignation.
"Their mating behaviors tend to be more... extensive than Type A alphas. The multiple bite locations suggest a very intense claiming instinct".
Noah looked so innocent on his chair as all the eyes in the room settled on him.
"Rut memories are often fragmented for the party in heat or rut" Dr. Elias said gently. "It's a survival mechanism, actually. If alphas retained full awareness of their behavior during rut, many would never attempt mating at all. If that were possible" He chuckled.
"The unusual placement explains some of the compatibility factors we observed" Dr. Elias continued.
"The nerve pathways from that location create different hormonal cascades than neck marking. It's actually more... intimate, from a biological standpoint".
"More intimate" Levi repeated dryly.
Dr. Elias pulled up another screen, this one filled with complex charts and graphs. "Your hormone levels show remarkable adaptation. Cortisol remains low, bonding hormones are elevated but stable, and your reproductive markers.."
"Reproductive markers?" Levi interrupted subconsciously, rather than letting the doctor finish.
'What the fuck' Levi rubbed his face with his palm mentally. He had walked into this one by consenting.
Just like he made that stupid mistake in that club. And now, in a new body and a new chance at life, he made the same fucking mistake.
'What was i expecting when i found out male omegas can reproduce?' They would for sure be used as a live breeding stock.
He walked right into testing to see if he was compatible, so he would not be waiting for his doom, but instead got tricked into being tested for reproduction. And now it proves he could produce heirs for the alpha.
It just kept getting worse, and it was proof he never learned even with the cost of dying.
"Did you know" Levi's voice came out tired.
No one made a sound as the two had an intense stare.
Dr. Elias adjusted in his seat to minimise his presence, just like the others who had completely gone still.
"Fertility testing is standard…" Noah started after a long time.
"Standard" Levi repeated the word as if trying to decipher it. "So standard that you didn't mention it. So standard you let me sit here, stripped down, examined, while your doctor checked my ability to breed you an heir".
His hands weren't shaking, which was good as he can't display any vulnerability.
He had noticed that he hadn't been given any consenting papers to sign, which suggested that in the world, omegas were owned.
How does he not get locked up for breeding?.
He had to play his card right.
One wrong mood from the alpha, and he would bare himself in submission as his omega biology would take over like before. And the thing is, on one would help him.
Why would they? He was already mated. And he was also proven fertile.
Noah had no reason to let him go now.
Slowly his pheromones began to fill the room.
"Get out".
