Secret Love

Chapter 15

Levi ran out of the building, navigating around students who had finished their lesson, some heading to their next class while others stood idly looking at their phones while waiting for their friends.

Levi ran until he reached the forest entrance, stopping at a nearby tree. He placed his palm on the truck while hunched over, steadying his breathing; once his breathing was even, Levi stood straight up again and turned his back to the tree facing the view of the campus while leaning his back on the tree's trunk for support.

Lowing himself down to the ground, Levi brought his knees up to his chest, gently rocking himself back and forth, tears falling down his cheeks. The leaves all around rustle as the wind picks up, indicating that rain is on its way.

Levi did not feel the change in the air, nor was he dressed for the forecast change, only wearing a t-shirt underneath his thin hoodie. Before anything else could happen, rain showers fell onto the ground, thoroughly soaking anything caught outside.

Levi felt the rain hitting his face, bringing him out from his slumber; grabbing the bag; he moved further towards the thickest part of the forest where the rain won't damage him.

When the rain stopped, Levi exited the forset. Once he was at the edge, he saw that the sun was readying to set, the colours of bright red and orange with a tint of violet illuminating the vast evening sky.

A beautiful rainbow completed the evening sky lighting up from one side of the campus to the other, forming an arc shape.

Trotting his way to the dorm areas, Levi kept his head down and wet stain hoodie up, hiding his swollen teary eyes from the few still lingering on campus ground.

Once he arrived at his dorm, he fished his keys out and unlocked the door; just as he entered, Dylan's voice could be heard greeting him coming from his room. Not replying, Levi went into his room and shut the door. Dylan, reading his notes, got up from his desk and looked towards the closed door, wondering if anything had happened.

Not overthinking the matter, he went back inside his room, picked up his notebooks once more and began going over from where he left off.

After closing his door, Levi stood leaning against it; his head tilted upwards, looking at the ceiling; knowing that he was being rude towards Dylan, Levi could not be bothered to explain his actions to the other male. Maybe shortly, he could make it up to them, but he just wanted to be alone right now.

The following day Levi woke to a burning sensation running through his body. He scrambled up from his bed and ran to the bathroom, hoping to ease the pain with some painkillers and knowing what was happening to himself; Levi ran past Dylan, who had just opened his bedroom door but stopped once he smelt the pheromones oozing out of his fragile roommate.

As an Alpha himself, Dylan found it challenging to hold on to his urges, but as a gentleman and a friend, he pushed them away and followed Levi into the bathroom hovering in the doorway.

"Levi, you are in heat. Where are your pills? Do you have any?"

"Dylan, can you take me to the campus hospital? I can't hold it much longer."

"Okay, you wait for me; I'll quickly put a jumper on, then we can g hang on."

"Thank you," said Levi, trying to hold himself together while he ravaged through the cabinets but could not find anything to help him in the meantime.

"Alright, let's go" Dylan went into the small bathroom and placed one of Levi's arms over his shoulder while supporting Levi at the waist with his other hand.

The two didn't make it far from their dorm when Levi's legs gave out, making him fall to the ground and taking Dylan with him.

"Are you alright?" asked Dylan.

"So-sorry for troubling you"

"Hey, don't be silly; we are roommates."

"Mn - ahh, I can't take it anymore; this feeling is too overwhelming." 

Dylan put one hand around Levi's shoulders without replying to Levi, while the other went underneath his knees. He proceeded to lift Levi, carrying him bridal style. 

Dylan looked down to see why Levi had not made a fuss with him being carried this way, only to see that the other had fainted due to the pressure and emotions of the pheromones.

As the two head out into the open, many people looked at the two figures, wondering what was wrong with the other person. But as soon as they were near, they smelt the pheromones coming from the omega that was being carried by their Alpha—knowing that the omega had an Alpha that did not stop them from coming closer. The omega was not marked yet, making them think they had a chance with him.

Dylan knew that he needed to move fast with all these Alpha out here. He knew the situation would not be good when suddenly, a powerful presence of another Alpha made his way toward Dylan and Levi, making everyone that was allured by the omega pheromones scattered in all directions.

"Where are you taking him." came the powerful voice

"He asked me to take him to the campus hospital; he's in heat and doesn't have any pills to mask his pheromones."

"Give him to me. I'll take him," said Dante leaning in to grab Levi from Dylan, leaving no room to argue.

Dylan watched as the other took Levi away only to turn around, going the way he came, when both Levi and that person disappeared into another building.
