Episode 3

St. Manuel Psychiatric hospital was more busy in the day compared to evening. In one of the ambulance that just came in, Levi Thomas, who was currently known by his colleagues as Levi Park, came out with a few medical personnel, carrying an agitated patient that was restricted by the belts connected to the stretcher.

"Give way! Give way!" Levi shouted in the busy lobby of the hospital as he ran with the patient on the stretcher. He was greeted by a male, beta nurse from the ICU and Levi gave him a brief information of the patient while the patient himself is screaming and struggling from the belt straps. He is getting red because of all the shouting that he did since he got in the ambulance. "He is from the elderly care facility. Carter Johnson, 65-years old. Was diagnosed of dementia two years ago. Possible in late stage now as the patient shows signs of terminal delirium. Recommended to give a shot of haloperidol to calm him down. I am going to check for him personally."

This morning, Levi was woken up by a call from one of the caretakers of the old man from the said elderly facility. He often visits that place before because it was needed as part of his residency course in the hospital, and he just happen to care deeply about this old man that he treated as his father. Levi still did not had his breakfast, his curly, black hair is disheveled and he did not have his lab coat with him yet. His black, long sleeved shirt is wrinkly underneath his red trench coat that he just wore subconsciously. He looks like a complete outsider instead of a member of the hospital facility.

"Got it." The nurse replied while giving him a weird look from head to toe. Levi felt his stare and understood the meaning behind his expression. The nurse is wondering who the hell he is.

"I am a resident doctor here." The alpha answered his unspoken question while he is trying to reach for his wallet at the back of his pant's pocket, looking for his ID badge. But unfortunately, he cannot find his own ID badge in his wallet so the nurse stared at him more strangely.

"Look, sir, thanks for your advice but we are going to take it from here. I'm sorry but unless you show me your ID badge, you cannot get past this door." He sternly said while stopping the alpha from walking further and closing the door on his face. He can hear the shouting of the old man fading in the distance.

Levi ran his fingers through his hair out of frustration, messing it further. "Do you even know who I am?!" He shouted which earned a curious glare from the passersby. I am famous because of my high IQ! I am the most dominant alpha among the dominant ones! He thought.

On the distance, Urek saw and heard him shouting and he immediately went to him and said, "Hey. You seem stressed. Let that guy go, it could be that the guy is new. It's not like he is required to know all of the resident doctors here." He smiled and placed his right arm around Levi's shoulder. He caught a whiff of the alpha's activity last night. "And you also smelled of sweet jasmine and s*x. You have not bathe yet?"

Levi sighed, "I have no time to even wash up because I have received a call from the elderly care facility. And also, I have all the reasons to be upset. Because when I woke up this morning, Yunmei was no longer beside me and my ID badge is missing from my wallet."

Urek raised his two eyebrows in surprise, "That is unusual of him. As a host, it is not his habit to leave the room first before his customer. And anyway, how did you lose your ID badge? Did you misplaced it?"

They are now walking back to their office. Levi felt guilty with what he did last night. Urek said that it is not his habit to leave the room first before his guest. Did I mess it up, big time? He asked himself. I hope not. He needs to take a bath first to sort up his mind. He needs to face his problems one at a time. "No, it is impossible for me to lose it because my wallet is still with me and intact. I never placed my badge anywhere other than my wallet." He answered Urek as he tried to remember his activities before leaving the hospital to go to the underground brothel. "And as for Yunmei... maybe I offended him last night?" He added hesitantly.

"Why? What did you do?"

"I marked him without asking him first."

Levi stayed in the hot shower for at least an hour. He did not notice exactly how long has he been inside because he is thinking about the things that he did last night.

Indeed, when he came in the room, he got seduced by his sweet scent first before he even saw his cute face. And what is even more adorable with him is his small frame! Thinking about his small body, Levi stared down at his hands, remembering how slim is his waist and how smooth and warm his skin is. From his hand, Levi's train of eyesight went further down. Goddamn it. I am getting a hard on just by thinking of him!

He is doomed.

He shook his head and turned the shower faucet to cold. He is going to have a cold shower today to calm himself 'down there.'

When he came out and went to the dressing room of their office, he saw that Urek is leaning on his elbows that are resting on top of his knees, his hands are intertwined with each other, supporting his head. He is in deep thought.

Urek's brown eyes are following the alpha who marked Yunmei. He doesn't know how Hunter is going to react to this. For him, Hunter is the most dangerous person that the alpha should watch out for. He may be an omega, but he is a smart and cunning one. Hunter is an expert when it comes to guns. He is the best sniper that he knows so far. He has a very sharp eyes that he can hit even a flying bird! Who knows, he might be in one of the tall buildings right now and was waiting for the right time to put a bullet in his head.

Levi came out of the dressing room while fixing his neck tie. He met the stare of his friend that was sitting on the chair. He is getting irritated. "What?" He asked without masking his irritation.

"I told you last night, control yourself."

The alpha squinted his eyes at Urek. Not getting pleased with this.  "You seemed to be unnecessarily concerned about Yunmei's well being. What, are you after him more than a friend should?" If he remembered it correctly, he is all touchy and close with his little omega. This thought made him see red with jealousy and his pheromones started surging in an aggressive way, intending to suppress the other alpha.

Urek stood up abruptly and faced his friend head on. He doesn't like what he is trying to say. He is about to get married now with John, of course he is not interested in Yunmei that way! He is only concerned to him as a father would to his son. "You don't know what you are getting yourself into. I am saying this because I am your friend." He took a step closer to the alpha not letting himself be oppressed by his intimidating aura. Though Urek is 3 inches shorter from Levi's 6 feet and 3 inches height, he prided himself by thinking that he is a dominant alpha as well. Just not as strong as him. "Yunmei has a special condition that is more dangerous than what our eyes are used to see. And don't blame me if you suddenly die one of these days. You did not heed my warning." He pushed him hard which made Levi took a step back, supporting the sudden shift in his weight.

Urek is about to go out when he heard him ask, "Hey assh*le. You keep on saying that he has a special condition. Why wont you tell me what it is?"

Urek sighed in annoyance and went back to his usual self, rubbing his face with his two hands. Intimidation will not work on this friend of his. He is stubborn as hell. He turned around and said straight to his green eyes, "Look, I really want to tell you what it is, seeing that you are so interested in that omega. But I am not, and will never be in the position to disclose anything about it. If you really want to know, ask Yunmei about it."

Levi grabbed Urek's wrist to stop him from going out. He still has a lot of questions. "Where can I find him? Tell me his address, I'll pay him a visit."

"Bro. I don't know his address. He moves around every now and then. Two months ago, he was in Sandley city from the northern Eurosia. Then now, he is in the red district just around the corner. You know that his brother is a hired assassin so he changes address a lot. Why wont you ask his employees?"

Levi let go of his friend's wrist and massaged the skin in between his eyebrows. He is starting to have a headache. "Every time I ask them, and if I even use a little intimidation to get them to speak, they are pulling out a gun and ready to blow their heads off. I don't think it is a good idea to let all of his employees commit a suicide just to get the information I want because that way, I wont have anyone to ask, or even stalk." Then Levi suddenly stared at his friend. A while ago, he used intimidation to get him to speak as well. "You are not going to commit suicide, are you?" He asked. He has noticed that Yunmei's loyal lackey are willing to kill themselves just to protect his secret.

Urek hugged his own body and his eyes grew big, "Jesus, no! My boyfriend loves my body so much that he would hate me even if I got a scratch from work!"

Their conversation got cut off when Urek felt the vibration of his phone. He gestured to Levi to wait and got it from the pocket of his lab coat, while Levi took this time to get his own lab coat that was hanging on the coat hanger. Urek got worried when he saw the name of the caller and was about to go out when he remembered a few things.

"Look, why wont you try and book an appointment tonight to his brothel and specifically ask for Yunmei? And also, your father is in the director's office and asked for you. That is why I came to see you. Gotta go. catch you on lunch!"

Levi was left standing in the office once Urek closed the door after him. He fixed the collar of his lab coat while thinking, Yeah. Why did't I thought of that sooner? frustration and overthinking got the best of him first that he forgot that solution.

The St Manuel Psychiatric Hospital, as previously discussed, was just one of the facilities owned by his family. The Thomason Empire was established a century ago and is considered as the founder and currently, the family that owns 80% of diverse properties in business, entertainment and medical facilities in the whole country. Lead by the head of the family, which is his father, Noah Thomas, a dominant alpha with an IQ score of 190.

The 53-year old Noah Thomas was very proud of his son. He is the product of him and his wife, who is an unregistered beta with an IQ score of 175, someone who has exceeded the beta limit of 159 IQ score, as set by the government.

That is how his father, Levi's grandfather gave him a power. Unknown to the public eye, there were a few gifted people with the dominant beta and omega genes that has exceeded the limit of IQ in their class. The unregistered were the people that alphas can control and use their extreme knowledge and abilities to their advantage. Fortunately, the current government was foolish that none of them has ever thought of how to use them. Those special people are being exterminated on site the moment they gauged their IQ, in fear that they are going to overthrow the current monarchy.

This is how their family survived and prevailed in the last century. He wants to do the same to Levi. He wants him to have an offspring that he can use in the future and he wants him to keep the power that the Thomason Empire has built. So he bought an Unregistered like what his father did to him thirty years ago. This time, he found an omega with an IQ score of 205. That is very impressive! Considering that the highest cap for omega IQ is at 119 mark! That is 5 points lower than his son, which is 210 IQ score! He, himself has only found a beta with 175 IQ score!

You have no idea how lucky you are, Levi.

Levi came in the director's office found at the 78th floor. The office had a simple black and white sleek design, with a clear glass at the back of the director's chair, showcasing the whole city. The room was brightly lit by the gray, morning sky and the heater is on, giving the room a slightly warm air as summer is about to end. There is a tank of gold fish on his left, that was being fed by a 30 year old man, standing at 5 feet and 8 inches named Chen Lao, the director. He is a dominant beta and currently his father's boy toy.

"Took you forever to come. Sit here."

Levi stared at his father's green eyes. He is an old man that has a full hair that got white with age.He sat down on the couch from the right part of the room, and on the opposite side from his father as he directed.

Noah stretched his arms out in the air and the beta that was feeding the fishes suddenly knew what he is asking. The father and son stared confidently at each other as he reached the brown envelop and placed it in front of his son. The beta remained standing, holding another envelop.

"That is the information of the omega that I bought for you. You are going to be impressed how high his IQ is!" He said with delight in his eyes. "Though sadly, he needs a month to take care of his...special condition."

Upon hearing this 'special condition', his left eye twitched. This is the nth time that he heard this word and he swears he is tired of it! "What, you are giving me a defective person?" He scoffed. He doesn't need another person that has a special condition. "I told you many times before, and I wont get tired of saying it again, I am not going to f*ck your toy omega." He said rudely. "I am not going to let another person have the same experience as my mother!"

Everything went fast but upon hearing his son's words, Noah stood up and slapped him hard on his face! Levi's ears started to ring but he ignored it and laughed. "I am not a beta. Neither an Omega. I am an alpha, just like you. What makes you think that you can control me by your violence?" Levi can taste his own blood from his own wound on the lips. He stood up and shook his head, still scoffing. He grabbed his father's shirt and whispered to his ear, "You have to find better ways to control me."

Old Noah was forced to sit back down on the couch when Levi pushed him. He is getting old so he doesn't have enough force to support himself from the sudden strength against his 25-year old son. He saw the victorious glint in Levi's eyes and that irritating smirk of his before leaving the room.

This son of his is not power-hungry, unlike him 30 years ago. Levi is stubborn and once he set his mind on something, he is going to do everything to get it. And that includes this mysterious child that saved him when he was six. For Levi, that mysterious child was a hero, and for old Noah, that child is a miracle who saved his son from his crazy mother. It's not like Noah did not try to look for that child for Levi. He just disappeared 20-years ago from Kapistal town, south of Eurosia, as if he did not existed. He gave up looking for that child since then.

But even after a while, his son kept looking for him...

Not even thinking of the possibility that he might be dead.
