F*cking Alphas

11. Chapter

After he had asked the question in a terrified and trembling voice, a murderous silence fell between the two boys. Remaining there and making the situation for the both of them just more uncomfortable as Jongdae's panic rose with every passing second.

Yixing seemed to notice that and he gave the smaller a reassuring and warm smile as he relaxed his body. Trying to show Jongdae that he had no hostile intentions. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone", he locked eye contact with Jongdae as his gaze turned serious, but fond. "Really, I promise."

At that soft tone Yixing had and the calming words he told the smaller, Jongdae relaxed the slightest bit, but still kept his guard up. He couldn't risk being exposed. Especially in such a dangerous situation with three alphas near him. "B-But h-how did you find it o-out?", he stuttered breathlessly, his body still shaking.

And Yixing's heart hurt at that fearful tone the smaller had. He hadn't meant to scare or hurt him like that by asking this question. He definitely hadn't intended that to happen. So he decided to explain himself as fast as he could to calm the other.

"I have a very good and sensitive nose. I can smell things other wolfs cannot. For example, when a wolf is sexually aroused and tries to hide it or when an omega goes into heat, before the omega himself notices the symptoms. Or I can smell a wolf's true scent, even though he hides it, like you. It is a blessing and a curse at the same time. I've already smelled your omega scent at our first encounter, but I thought that it could have come from another omega. So I let the topic drop... But when you were around the three alphas earlier, your scent got stronger and I realised that it came from you. I got afraid that it could get so strong that the others could smell it too and so I brought you to a separate room, since you didn't seem to have any reaction around betas. I also did it, because I knew that you must have had a reason that you hide yourself and, well, hate alphas, you could say. It was easy for me back then to put one and one together. And when we got here the scent got weaker again until it was merely present anymore. But when you sang it got stronger again and so I decided to ask you. But it was not my intention to scare you to death. Really. I am sorry that you got that horrified. But it also showed me that you must have a very good reason to hide it. So, don't worry. I won't tell anyone anything. I just wanted to know, if my assumption was right and warn you that your scent got triggered and that you have to be more careful, when you come here more often.

Otherwise they could maybe find it out and that would be hell of a mess", he chuckled slightly, before he turned serious again. His expression earnest and fond as he took Jongdae's still shivering hand. "Trust me. Your secret is save with me. I will not say a single word and I am willing to help you cover your scent, when you come here. Although I have to say that I don't really understand why you cover it, because the little part I was able to smell, smelled really good. But I won't question your decisions. You must have your reasons." He smiled at the younger and squeezed his left trembling hand lightly as he looked into the younger's eyes.

"I just hope that you will tell me the reason one day once you trust me enough."

Yixing said those words with such endearment that it made Jongdae's heart clench as he calmed down and exhaled shakily. His secret wasn't going to be revealed and the other wolfs couldn't smell him. Two good news.

He inhaled deeply again as he let all the information settle in his head. And the more he thought about everything, the more he began to trust Yixing and believed his promise, although he knew that it was risky.

But the wish to help them and Minseok with the project was stronger and he really wanted to finish the song. It felt like an urge, a need, to finish it, because it already felt special to him, somehow.
