Love Chase

25 - Only Have Each Other

* * *
"That tall man over there in a grey suit, don't you think he's hot? He's definitely my type," A young woman asked her friend as they stole glances in Mo Tian Zi's direction. The Alpha was acting like a wallflower with him being alone while drinking wine in the corner.

"Oh I know, right? He's been there for like an hour now. The wedding ceremony is about to start soon but I don't see him talking to anyone. He just keeps on staring at that person over there. The one in a white suit together with Daniel Mo and Laura Mo. I think he's an Omega," Her friend replied. Just like her friend and most of the young unmarried individuals in the gathering, she had been eyeing Mo Tian Zi since earlier. She was planning to approach but thought otherwise because the Alpha has been releasing an oppressive air as if telling everyone not to talk to him.

No one had dared to get close to him so far. He's the epitome of a beautiful but poisonous flower, so one could only look from afar.

"Don't tell me they're lovers?? There's no way right?? That Omega isn't even that pretty. I'm sure he's just no one anyway. If I ask dad, maybe I can find out his name and arrange a dinner date with him. If he's qualified, I can even tell dad if it's possible to get a marriage proposal between us. If it's him, I don't care if it's arranged marriage honestly," The woman complained with a frown as she looked at Fyre getting along with the members of the Mo household and then later shifted to Mo Tian Zi who's sipping on his wine while his back leaned against the wall with her dreamy eyes.

"If you're doing that then should I do it as well? I like him too, you know," The other lady said smiling awkwardly at her friend.

"Good day, Ladies, the man you are staring at is Mo Tian Zi. The third son of this household. Aside from the fact that he is way out of your league, he hates it when Omega and women approach and stare at him. So I highly suggest you avoid talking about him now, I'm guessing he could hear you from here," While both women are talking about Tian Zi, Maverick who happened to hear them couldn't help but interrupt. Although he understood that these young women didn't know who Mo Tian Zi was, he still couldn't help but break their delusions. Especially when they're thinking they could have the Young Alpha as their prospect marriage partner.

"M-Mo Tian Zi? I'm so sorry, we honestly didn't know. I-I thought Mo Tian Zi was..." The redhead girl replied in shock looking at Maverick's gentle and charming smile. Everybody knew who Mo Tian Zi was by name but no one was actually sure what he looked like because there were surprisingly no pictures of him available online and he barely attends gatherings. If he did, rumors say he would suddenly disappear. Rumors said that he was an introvert and felt inferior to his older brothers so everybody just thought he was ugly. But now that they're seeing him for the first time, they never thought he was more handsome than anyone in the entertainment industry in his generation.

"I understand. Just be careful with your words from now on," Maverick said with another smile. If there was anything that he's good at, it was definitely smiling when needed.

"U-Uhmm, may I know what's your name instead?" The redhead asked, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks as she shyly fixed her hair pushing it at the back of her ear. Seeing this, Maverick's eyes shifted briefly before he continued his professional smile. Even though he's a Male Omega and pretending to be an Alpha, he preferred men as his partners so seeing the woman in front of him showing signs of flirting slightly made him feel uncomfortable.

"Maverick. Anyway, if you'll just excuse me. I still need to prepare for the wedding," Maverick quickly excused, maintaining his smile. When he reached his younger brother, Ashton; he could still feel the redhead's stare on his back that he hastily ushered the young Alpha away.

"You should've just left them alone," Ashton commented with a frown. It's not that he hated Mo Tian Zi but it is indeed true that he didn't like him. There was just something about him that he didn't like, especially recently when he's noticing Maverick and the Alpha looking and greeting each other occasionally.
