Chapter 216 - 2: Scentless omega
The man towering over Killian had a sharp, intimidating presence. His broad shoulders filled the elevator entrance as he looked down at Killian with mixed emotions in his gaze—anger, confusion, and... something unreadable.
His green eyes seemed to pierce right through Killian, sending a shiver down his spine despite the heat overtaking his body.
Killian’s breaths came in short, uneven gasps as the stranger loomed closer.
"What... what’s happening to me?" Killian muttered under his breath, confused. His knees buckled, and he gripped the side of the elevator wall to steady himself. His body was burning up, his heart pounding in his chest.
The man didn’t answer immediately, his jaw tightening as his gaze flickered over Killian. Finally, he spoke, his voice low and gruff. "You’re an omega..."
Killian’s eyes widened, heart skipping a beat at the question. His gender wasn’t a secret, but because he was recessive, even more recessive than a recessive omega, everyone believed he was a beta and even doubted the results of his sub-gender evaluation.
No one came up to him and blatantly said, without hesitation, ’You’re an omega!’, so, Killian was utterly baffled. "W-what? No, I’m... I’m not affected by... by this..."
What was he saying? He never denied his gender to anyone! So, why...with this man...he felt scared all of a sudden?
The man gave him a hard look, his eyes were bloodshot as if he was suppressing something inside him. He bit his lower lip and pulled Killian by the collar, dragging him to the emergency exit stairs.
The space made the tension between them almost unbearable. The man leaned in closer, his scent overwhelming the enclosed area. There was no mistaking it now—this man was an alpha, and a powerful one at that.
Killian shuddered. He knew he was scentless...almost, but despite that reassurance...why was the man looking at him like he was...driving him crazy?
