Threat

Urek was sitting on the bed while watching the chaos that was unfolding in front of him. When they watched the end of William's video recording, Yunmei threw the camera on the floor while shouting, "How dare you to decide to fight us after the years of work keeping this body alive?! You dont deserve to exist!" He stepped on the camera over and over again  as if he could crush William inside him if he crushed the poor camera. Julie tries her best to calm him down but to no avail. "If you want  to die, just kill yourself silently in this body and dont drag us with you! I wont let you out again! Neveer!" Yunmei huffed. He is losing  his cool now.

Urek picked his nose then rolled the booger in between his thumb and index finger. For him, it is very satisfying whenever he got a huge thing out from his nose. "Seriously. We can take other preventive measures to stop William from taking over the body. But he is not the biggest problem that you have right now." He wiped his fingers off on the pillow then searched for another booger in his nose. He thinks that Yunmei deserves this little disgusting thing because of the hell that he has been through for the last 3-days. He cant go home, neither go to his work! He is just glad that his beloved was so understanding that he often comes here to bring them dinner and a change of clothes for him.

Yunmei turned his amber eyes on him. "And what would be my biggest problem?"

"That bite mark on your pheromone gland. You still remember that you allowed yourself to be bitten by an alpha, right? Now that your scent has changed, it's like you are wearing a neon colored sign on your forehead, saying I am owned by somebody else." He caught another one in his nose and rolled it in between his fingers for now. He will wait for the right time to wipe it off on the pillow. Maybe when Yunmei was not looking.

Yunmei sighed and sat down on the carpeted floor. He can see that there were a few drops of dried blood on it, possibly from the time that William pulled the nails off from his fingers. I might need to have general cleaning soon. I cant let Hunter see this blood stains! But then again, he might see my own fingers!

"So what, it's not like I cant come to my own brothel--"

"You definitely cant, sir." Julie cut him off.

Yunmei stared at her, urging her to continue. "If you ever set a foot in there, your strong scent is going to stay and it is going to give an impression that our workers are all claimed people. They would be afraid to book an entertainer because they would think that their partners are going to be after them." Julie explained in a manner that it should be obvious. "We cant afford to have a bad reputation yet as we just opened for a month, besides, I just had the whole place completely cleaned two days ago. I have to shut down the business for a day because your scent was hard to wash off. It's not like you have a weak scent or something." She said as she saw what Urek was doing on her boss' pillow while Yunmei is looking at her. So childish and gross.

Urek saw her glare and he knew instantly that he was caught. He tried to go back to the topic. "Anyway, its not like you need to work. Even without your presence, our sweet Julie here will manage the business for you." He smiled charmingly at her. "On a serious note, you need to do something about that bite mark. Just so you know, Levi was going crazy these couple of days looking for you. I have to hide from work for 3 days because of that." That is not really the reason why he cant go to work. He just cant tell Yunmei that he was so worried about him because it was William that they are dealing with.

"But I dont want to stay here all day!" There is nothing in here and he hates the deafening silence.

"Uh, why wont you meet with Levi? I am sure he would be more than happy to see you again after 3 days of being abstinent. He must be craving for s*x now." Urek said, raising his eyebrows in a teasing manner. He did not really know if he had any these past days because he has not seen him since he left the hospital. He just assumed that because the last time he saw him, he was so crazy about his disappearance.

Yunmei blushed because of the vulgarity of his words. He doesn't know what to say to him yet once they see each other. "No. Not yet. I have to prepare myself."

"So what will you do? You cant just sit here and do nothing. Would you want me to order TV for you?" Julie butted in.

"No! Not needed. I am thinking of looking for another normal day job. Just to pass time."

Since they are now on a subject of job, Urek is thinking if there were any establishments that was not owned by the Thomason Empire. And like a bulb that has lit on the side of his head, he thought of something.

"Oh, I know! There is a cake shop just around the corner. It is called Gateau. It is not owned by the Thomason Empire and has just started 7 months ago! When I am secretly looking for the best cake shop, Levi suggested that shop to me. And one of the staff mentioned that they are short of people. You and Julie can go in there and check it out." He said and stood up while stretching his body.

"You are not coming with us?" Yunmei asked.

"Nope." He ruffled his silver strands while saying, "I have my soon-to-be-wife that was waiting for me to go home for 3 days now. Sorry, but I am no longer your alpha father. You should look for another alpha daddy now. Bye kids."

For Urek, that might not mean nothing and he might think of it as a light topic. But for Yunmei, he treated Urek as his own family, just in the level of being a brother instead of a father. He understands well that he is about to get married to John and he is seriously happy for him. And once he got married, he is going to be his number one priority. But his words still made him sad and he thought that he is no longer important to Urek. He is expecting that he would still matter to Urek because he met him first before John did. Well. People change and so their priorities. He thought.

Back in St Manuel Hospital, Levi now looks tired than before. Three days has passed but he still cannot find Yunmei. It does  not help as well that Urek was also absent. He cant reach him through his phone so he tried calling  John once, but he said that he went away on some business with his friend from high school. Levi needs his advise on how to find Yunmei again. He is out of ways now because when he went back to the brothel and tried to book a room with him, the staff said that their boss is sick and wont be able available for booking. He thinks that Yunmei is hiding from him because he did not wanted to be marked. If that was the case, he wants to fix this mistake and make him fall in love to him. But how can I do that if I cant find my little omega? He asked himself.

It was now his lunch break and the hospital is as busy as always. He was eating alone when he felt a hand tap on his shoulder, accompanied with a voice calling his name, "Levi!"

He turned around and he finally saw the green haired demon that was absent for 3 days. He stared at him  and caught a whiff of his scent, thinking that he somehow smells familiar and...alluring? He knows this is not his usual scent.

"Where have you been? John said you are away for some business? I cant visit your home because you are not there." He asked while he continued eating.

They are now in the cafeteria of the hospital and Urek sat down on the opposite chair in front of Levi. He looked clueless for a while before his mouth formed an 'O' shape, indicating that he understood his words. "Oh, yes...S-some family matters." He nervously laughed it off. "I have to meet one of my cousin." He said while laughing to cover the moment that he thought of an answer. John has covered for him but his partner did not mentioned what was the lie that he told to Levi. He forgot to ask about it when he went home to take a shower and take off Yunmei's scent on him. He just made it sound like family matters, after all, that is the common reason people use whenever they have to make an excuse on the spot.

Levi did not miss this nervous laugh of Urek. He took a sip from his coffee in the paper cup and said, "Cousin? But John said you are going to meet your high school friend." After saying this, Levi finally figured out the alluring scent coming from his friend.

It was from Yunmei!

He watched Urek squirm uncomfortably in his sit while he is thinking of a new lie, but before he can even think of explaining that, his patience ran thin and he slammed his paper cup on the table, spilling a few coffee. He stood up abruptly and pulled him by the neck of his shirt, wrinkling his crisp, white long sleeved shirt and lab coat. "I can smell him from you. Tell me the truth or god knows what will happen to you and John." He threatened, releasing a huge amount of pheromones in an aggressive way. The people around them are watching and curious. They are wondering what happened with the two, close alphas.

Urek raised his two hands in the air, indicating that he surrendered. He subconsciously gave in to his intimidating and aggressive pheromones, his threat towards John was also his undoing. He knows that his friend was serious. "Alright, alright! Let me go and I will tell you."

Levi let his shirt go and sat down, placing his arms on top of the table and his hands are intertwined with each other. His curly hair, though looks soft, it looks disheveled than usual.His green eyes are angry and he can see the small, tensed movement of his jaw.

"I was with him for a couple of days. I have received a call from his secretary that he had an episode--"

"Why are you the one being called? What was his episode? Was he on heat?" Levi asked, cutting him off.

"No. He is not on heat. It was...something that I cannot disclose. Anyway, I was called because his secretary needs help in taking care of his special condition. Only the two of us knows what was happening so she has no one else to call for help."

Here it is again. That stupid condition! "You wont tell me what is his condition, right?"

"I'm sorry." Urek said in a low voice as he hang his head low, avoiding his gaze.

Levi ran his hand through his curly hair, putting it further in a mess. He sighed and said in a tired voice, "Could you at least tell me where he lives?" He cant take it anymore. He is getting paranoid now and that was putting him in a lot of stress, affecting his work and other patients.

Urek cleared his throat. "I cant tell you his home but I can tell you where he might  be working right now."

With this information, Levi lifted his head and stared hopefully at Urek. With this hopeful look of his friend, he cant back down now even if he wants to. He feels pity for his situation. "He might be looking for a job in Gateau cake shop. He cant work in the brothel anymore because of the mark that you gave him."

His green eyes widened, "What? He is in my shop?" Levi asked dumbfounded. All this time he is desperately looking for him, he never thought that he might be looking for another job else where!

"Your shop? I thought it was not owned by your family?"

"Well, basically, it is not. My family has no influence over that shop because I personally owned it. It was my own business established out of the salary that I got from working in here." Levi explained. He felt hopeful and excited that he stood up and plans to take an early out so he could visit his shop before the day ends. He is about to go to his team leader and ask for early leave, leaving Urek on his seat.

It was now Urek's turn to be dumbfounded. When he suggested that place for Yunmei to work for, he did not really know that it was owned personally by Levi!! It makes sense now why Levi told him to check on this shop before when he was looking for a wedding cake. Of course, he is going to suggest his own brand! He wont say anything about him, owning the shop so we can give him an honest opinion without considering our friendship!

Meanwhile, back in the apartment from the 38th street, Julie was putting moisturizer on his face and sunblock on his ***** body. It is normal for a 30 year-old woman to see his ***** body. She was taking care of him for 10-years now, safe to say that she knows better the needs and wants of each alters. Yunmei, for example loves to take care of his skin as well aside from his health. But his greatest concern now is his contact lenses. Julie mentioned to him that she has threw it on the ground after getting it removed successfully from his eyes and that was because of her frustration and helplessness with his situation before, she forgot to even keep it.

And now, Yunmei was throwing a fit. "I dont want to go out without my blue contact lens." He said to her stubbornly.

"Seriously boss. We can get a new pair tomorrow but for now, we have to go to that cake shop that Urek mentioned. Lunch is over so I assume the peak hour might start anytime now for that shop. The staff might not have enough time to have an interview with you if we go there much later to get you a new pair of contact lens." She reasoned to him. Julie understands his want to wear a blue contact lens. For his alters, it is their identity. Yunmei thinks he is the same age as the body, a 29 year old man with blue eyes that is obsessed with taking care of his overall appearance. While Hunter thinks that he has red eyes, though she can never understand why would he wear glasses over the contact lens. She guesses that was part of Hunter's fashion.

Once he is ready, they went to the said coffee shop. The beta receptionist who greeted them was friendly and when they told him that he is looking for a job, Yunmei was immediately guided to the manager's office to have an interview.

The shop itself looks small on the outside but quite spacious when you came in. The floors are  made of polished wood and rose designed, cream wallpaper. When Yunmei heard that this is a cake shop, he is expecting tall display of cakes. But they also offer coffee, tea and other beverages in here that goes along well with cake. It is more of a coffee shop than a cake shop. There were menus on the table for pre-made cakes or you can talk to their staff about the custom made cakes for several occasions. It looks cozy and relaxing that is fit for small meetings and the prices of their product are affordable for students.

The room that he was led into was at the back of the shop, unlike the outer part of the cake shop, this office was made of mahogany wood from walls to floors. Except for the ceiling. It has been painted with white. The furniture are in color of teal blue and black. Even the laptop in front of him is in teal blue. The man that was sitting behind the table is an alpha, about 5 feet and 9 inches in height, (That is according to Yunmei's estimation when he stood up to greet him a while ago.) His hair is jet black, his eyes are in a darker shade of brown and his skin is pale, very pale that it looks like he has lost a lot of blood. There were also dark circles under his eyes.

The man watched the omega for a while before he smiled at him without it reaching his eyes. Yunmei felt that there is something dangerous with this guy. He just cant point it out. It doesn't help as well that he cant explain how he looks at him. It is not lustful, neither suspicious...It's close to threatening look.

The manager did not miss the omega's fear when he automatically stared down on the floor to evade his gaze. He smirked at him. This one is very beautiful...Too bad someone owned him. He thought before he proceeded with the interview.

"By the way, my name is Arax Ruvian. I am the manager of this place and I speak directly with the owner of this place. I have heard that you are looking to get the only vacant position here?"

Yunmei sat up straight and answered, "Yes."

Arax nodded his head and checked the resume that Yunmei has given him. This resume was prepared by Julie. "Your name is William Marx and you are 29. You surely don't look like one." He said as he searched his name on his computer. "You look like a teenager and you  have a small body." He said as Arax briefly stared at the neck of the omega. It is so slim. Oh, how delightful it is to wrap my hand around it.

"The only available position that we have in here is waste management officer. You are the only one who is going to be in charge of disposing garbage and segregating it. It is a disgusting line of work and you don't look like someone who is used to it." He said. But that is a lie. The vacant position is a cashier but he doesn't need to know that. This boy is too pretty to be on display and for everyone's eyes to feast on. If he declines that, he can offer a position for him to be his personal secretary who would 'take care' of his needs.

"That is fine for me. It is a decent and legal job." The omega said with his amber eyes full of conviction, surprising him. Arax is not expecting this. William Marx certainly looks like a spoiled prince and his feminine frame gave him a thought that he would decline the job because of his delicate health or something. But since it has come down to this, he has no choice but to really give it to him.

"If you say so." Arax stood up, he smiled towards the omega with an evil glint in his almost-black eyes while he extended his hand towards him for a hand shake, "Welcome aboard, William Marx."
