Louie finally agreed to go home.

  My habibi and I decided to stay to watch over Nathan. They moved him to a private room. He’s vitals are finally stable, and he looked a bit better now that he’s clean, but still, he remained unconscious for the rest of the night.

  We checked the news as we passed the night, but there were hardly any report about the nightclub incident. There was just a short mention about some disturbance in a famous exclusive nightclub dubbed ‘Club A’.

  “Habibi, don’t you want to go back home first?” I asked Aahmes as morning drew near.

  “I do not wish to do so,” he replied, his head leaning on my shoulder, “besides, I want to wait for Nathan to wake up as well. I have a million questions I wish to ask him.”

  “What kind of questions?”

  “How he got attracted to Reubert. How they met and became mates...”

  I slowly shook my head. I shouldn’t have asked the obvious.

  “I still can’t believe that he and Reubert are a ‘thing’,” I mumbled. “I mean, that bastard Nathan is one big asshole! He’s one of the worst dominant alphas one could ever meet in their lifetime. I mean, he treats omegas like walking sex toys! On the other hand, Reubert has hated alphas ever since he manifested.

  “And to think, that he agreed to be the bottom...”

  “Well, of course, Reubert would have no choice...”

  “Not him, Professor.”

  “Huh?”

  “Nathan.”

  “What?”

  “The bottom was Nathan.”

  “What do you mean, Nathan?! You’ve got to be kidding me!”

  Now, this really is unbelievable!

  “Is it not obvious?” Aahmes pointed at Nathan.

  “He just got raped!” I frowned at him.

  “It was quite obvious who the top is,” he argued. “Reubert looks more domineering. Your nephew, on the other hand, shows a more submissive behavior when they are together.”

  “The fuck... is the world coming to an end?! My horny bastard of an asshole nephew... I refuse to believe it!”

  “That aside,” continued Aahmes, “Reubert really is a powerful DOME, I was surprised when he hit me with his pheromones earlier.”

  “That’s right! Weren’t you affected by his pheromones? Aren’t you feeling dizzy?” I fuzzed around him. “That idiot, Reubert! If it was any other omega, they would have already gone into forced heat!”

  “I was a bit winded, but otherwise fine,” he replied, “I wonder if your DOME notice anything...?”

  “Don’t worry, he was probably in too much of a panic to even remember that he used his pheromones on you.”

  “I doubt if I could release my pheromones in that manner,” he said thoughtfully. “No wonder my men said it looked like a scene from hell.”

  “It’s good that they didn’t get affected by the pheromone bomb?” I asked.

  “None of them are alphas, I would never trust an alpha to protect me.”

  Aahmes took something from his pocket – a small flash drive.

  “Is that what they gave you earlier?” I asked.

  “Would you like to watch it?”

  He connected the drive to his cellphone and together, we watched the footage. It looked like an ordinary club with a packed dance floor. There was no audio, but it was obvious from the scene that the speakers were at full volume, as the clubbers danced the night away.

  The commotion started by the entrance as people fell one after the other. The rest seemed to give way to a man wearing a black hoodie who left a trail of fallen clubbers as he entered the establishment.

  But not all of them fell.

  The rest started assaulting the people around them. May they be men or women.

  “My god... is he really that powerful?” Aahmes said in a whisper, as more people fell when the man reached the middle of the dance floor.

  The rest of the people started to panic and rushed towards the exit.

  “That’s just him releasing his pheromones,” I answered. “Back in the facility, the pheromones he used was much stronger. Alphas didn’t simply fall unconscious or get into a rut. He could actually kill with his scent.”

  We checked the rest of the files in the flash drive.

  There were scenes inside private rooms, and in one of them, we saw what happened to Nathan.

  There were four of them.

  Four bastards who took turns on my nephew, while a fifth one watch by the side – it was Dan and his cohorts.

  They treated Nathan like a sex toy.

  The fucking bastards.

  I couldn’t even bare to watch the whole thing.

  “Look, professor, that’s him.” Aahmes kept watching and called my attention when the man in the black hoodie entered the room.

  You could see how the bastards dropped one by one. Their mouths frothing. Their bodies convulsing as they hit the floor.

  The man looked around and took Nathan in his arms. He wrapped him in a table clothe before rushing out of the room.

  “We need to show this to the cops!”

  “Are you sure, professor?” Aahmes asked. “This would incriminate your DOME, as well as your nephew. Even if they don’t find out Reubert’s identity, they would still question your nephew’s relationship with him.”

  He was right.

  I’m sure the government would cover for Reubert, but it would only put Nathan into deeper trouble.

  We’re not as important as a DOME.

  We can’t protect my nephew from the backlash of this horrendous incident.

  Club A is an exclusive nightclub for rich kids. Obviously, they even got control over the media, thus there was hardly any noise about it. They would surely be looking for someone to blame.

  “So... what do you suggest we do?”

  “My men said they destroyed the security footage. They made it look as if someone ransacked the whole place and stole all the valuables they could find. I suggest we keep quiet about this, and think of a good alibi for Nathan instead.”

  “Well, those five bastards all got bombed by Reubert’s pheromones. I doubt they would even remember what happened the whole day. We could just say that we found Nathan walking around the area and brought him to the hospital.”

  “He was too drugged to be able to do that.”

  “Then... Louie found him in the club?”

  “Then, why wasn’t he affected? Also, they can easily check the time we brought Nathan in.”

  “Then... what if I say that I was the one who saw him? I’m a beta, so I wouldn’t be affected by the pheromone bomb, we also brought him to the hospital together, and we already said at work that there was a family emergency.”

  “That may work... and since the security footage where all destroyed, no one can refute your claims. We wouldn't need to get your brother-in-law or anyone else involved with us.”

  “What do you mean us?” I frowned at Aahmes, “I’m not getting you involved in this either!”

  “Do you know how to drive, professor?”

  I opened my mouth and closed it again.

  “You’re just the driver, then. I’m the one who entered the club before the pheromone bomb went off, found Nathan, and went straight to the hospital.”

  “And your agoraphobia?”

  “It’s the driving force that helped me save my nephew! You know very well that my case is a bit special!”

  “I can say that I was with you...”

  “Then why weren’t you affected by the pheromone bomb?”

  “Can you carry him on your own?”

  “Adrenalin rush! Besides, you keep telling me to exercise!” I flexed my arms for him.

  Aahmes pinched my biceps. He doesn’t look impressed.

  “I guess we could go with that,” he finally said with a sigh. “We just need to speak with Reubert and your brother-in-law for our stories to match.”

  “Haaah... this is all your fault, stupid Nathan!” I glared at my unconscious nephew. “Why do you keep getting into all sort of trouble?!”

  “We will ask him when he wakes up,” said Aahmes, rubbing my shoulder. “For now, we need to rest as well.”

  I gave another weary sigh and dib my face into his hair.

  “Thank you for being here, Habibi. I could never do this without you.”
