Dirty Secret

Chapter 7

"Do you think that you could leave us alone? I have few more tests I want to run to see that Louis is fully getting better," Greg says to Niall. He held the same smile on his face as he did the last time Louis saw him.

"Yeah sure," Niall says getting up. "I'll be back to get you when you get out," he promises smiling.

Louis wants to beg for Niall to say but he knows that it would raise questions. So instead he just fakes a smile and waves the alpha goodbye. He can feel Greg's eyes on him as he lowers his hand and looks down at his lap. The alpha's steps are heavy as he approaches him, making him uncomfortable.

"Hello, Louis. Didn't think I'd see you here," Greg says as he settles next to the omega. He had glasses on which Louis didn't remember that he had been wearing years ago.

"Can't say that I was expecting to see you either," Louis says quietly, fiddling his fingers. "You didn't tell anyone, right?" He asks carefully, searching for answers from the man's face.

Greg had always been good at hiding his emotions. It always bothered Louis. "Of course I didn't," Greg says. "I just want to know what the hell is happening? Last time I checked you were an omega and this place is for alphas only."

"Shh! Niall is still outside," Louis shushes quickly. "I did what I had to do. I couldn't let my dad go, my sisters need a dad and he needs to see them grow up."

"So you thought that the best way to protect your family was to lie to everyone and come here? You do know that you might die? War is no joke," the alpha says sternly. "Does anyone know the truth?"

Louis shakes his head. "I haven't told anyone because I know the risks. I know that I might not get to go home anymore. I know that I might die even before we get out there. I know all that but I didn't have a choice. I did it for my family and I don't regret it at all."

"You haven't changed a bit since the last time I saw you," Greg says chuckling lightly. "You know, I almost didn't recognise you at first," he hums.

The omega furrows his eyebrows confused. "What do you mean? I haven't changed that much in two years."

"You haven't," the alpha agrees easily. "But I couldn't smell you. I was so confused because I remember how sweet you smell. I remember it so vividly and when I saw you I couldn't help but sniff the air. How do you even do that?"

"You're the doctor Greg, shouldn't you be the one to tell me?" Louis asks jokingly trying to lighten up the mood. When he sees the look of disbelief on the man's face he clears his throat and comes clean. "I'm on suppressants. I kind of stole them? Well not really... I-I went to five different pharmacies and got my two-month descriptions from all of them..."

Greg was looking unimpressed when Louis finishes his story. "You know that what you did is illegal, right?" The alpha says sternly. "And not to mention that the strong ones could make you infertile after a year of usage. Sometimes it doesn't even take that long."

"Oh, and pretending to be an alpha isn't illegal then?" Louis asks rolling his eyes. "I'm well aware that I've broken many rules to get here, but I don't regret it. I've given my sisters a chance to grow up with their father and that is all that I need to know."

"I guess me trying to talk you out of this would be in vain," Greg sighs. "I think that we should continue with the check up. I can hear steps getting closer by so the conversation isn't the safest," he adds quietly.

Louis looks at the alpha with a hopeful look. "So you won't tell anyone?" He asks again just to be sure. He could never know if the alpha would change his mind after hearing every law he had broken.
