Destiny - RenHyuck FF

Part 6

The omega was leaning on a tree coughing furiously and retching as the impossible stench still stuck in his nose made his stomach twist and head hurt.

Only five minutes earlier Renjun was celebrating the fact that he managed to hold out for a half an hour longer at the gathering than the last time.

The central square of their pack neighborhood was buzzing with wolves and he was slowly reaching his limit to endure the different scents.

Walking off to grab something to drink and get some fresh air as the food and beverage tables were along the side of the square that connected to a large park and would supply him with clean oxygen.

He gulped down the glass of water and sighed in content when suddenly someone bumped into him and he reflexively caught the person before they would fall down.

That was mistake number one.

Right as his eyes identified the older alpha lady his senses got rudely invaded by the mixture of smells she was carrying with herself.

Renjun never assumed that anything could smell worse than four day old rotten durian but he might have just found something worse.

The half drunk lady clung to him as she tried to steady herself while the omega felt his lungs burn at her stench.

The mix of alcohol, stale makeup, cigarette smoke, strong old lady perfume and her powdery sweet vanilla scent combined with something sour made even his eyes start tearing up.

As soon as the lady managed to stand on her two legs and take a step away from him Renjun instinctively turned around and ran.

Unaware of the eyes of a certain alpha following him he ran deeper into the park until his shaky legs almost gave up and he leaned against the nearest tree to steady himself.

His eyes stung and tears streamed down his red cheeks as he wheezed and tore his cardigan that was drenched with the awful stench from his body.

Ears ringing and fighting for air he didn't notice the quick footsteps approaching until a pair of warm and strong arms caught him before he could hit the ground and faint.

"Renjun?!"

He barely heard the voice but felt thankful for not having to fall face first to the ground pitifully in the middle of the park.

Donghyuck was panicking when he saw the shorter boy, who would bravely stand up to guys twice his size and whoop their asses with a ruler, look this broken and weak.

He tried to hold the older close and patted his back while instinctively releasing calming pheromones despite betas not sensing them.

His brain was coming up with all sorts of scenarios to reason for the older's reaction and one of them left him even more confused.

Was Renjun pregnant?

Is that why he reacted to the strong perfume of that old lady like this?

Can male betas get pregnant at all?

Renjun slowly started calming down and breathing properly while his wolf felt relieved to be surrounded by a calming amber scent, head subconsciously leaning on the alpha's shoulder in exhaustion.

Even after his brain registered the scent and connected it to the person behind it the omega didn't react as he felt too weak, rubbing his nose against the soft fabric of the alpha's shirt before passing out.

Feeling the shorter's body go limp in his hold made Donghyuck's eyes widen and scent spike in panic before a barely audible whine made his head snap to the sleeping wolf in his arms.

Trying to get his scent under control he watched the crease between the boy's eyebrows disappear and laughed at the situation he has found himself in disbelief.

Renjun came back to his senses feeling his phone vibrate in his pocket, shifting a bit and opening his eyes.

"You awake?" That annoying voice asked and he felt a hand reach for his phone holding it out for him.

Feeling a lump in his throat and lips dry he only nodded even when the tan alpha asked if he should pick up the phone for him.

"Hello?... Yeah I'm with him... We're at the park as Renjun was not feeling well. I think you should come and take him back home... Yeah, yeah... Okay, I'll see you at the south entrance then."

The omega pushed himself back and into a sitting position as he waited for the call to end, hoping his cousin would help him back home.

"Kun said that he'll wait for us and take you home. Can you stand up?"

The younger looked worried as he reached for the omega once he tried to get up and started swaying, scolding the older under his breat for nearly falling again.

Hooking one arm around Renjun's and taking the discarded cardigan with the other Donghyuck slowly led the older towards the closest exit of the park where a worried omega was already pacing nervously.

"Oh my god! Why didn't you tell me you were not feeling well and went home?"

The shorter just shook his head weakly and stubbornly let go of the alpha to walk home after giving him a barely audible thanks.

Donghyuck nodded and watched the two walk away with a tilted head full of questions when he remembered the piece of clothing in his hand.

"Wait-"

His call went unheard so he lifted the cardigan and scrunched up his nose at the foul smell of it, now understanding what must have triggered the shorter's earlier fit.

Picking up the wolf's scent too he was glad Renjun was a beta and didn't smell that too on top of the already strong stench.

Instead of throwing the thing away like he would have rationally the alpha took it home with him and threw it into the washing machine with his own clothes before scrubbing himself clean of the lingering scents of the party too.
