Hi! I have decided that there is too few Alpha/Beta/Omega stories in this fandom, so here I'm posing one, right after I finished my midterm exam.

I've no beta reader for this story, so all of the mistake are mine alone. English is not my first language, so if there is anyone interested in helping me checking this story please let me know.

Chapter 1: I should stop thinking about him.

/

I should have known this is a bad decision. A very bad one.

I shouldn't have come to the park.

Elliot scolded himself, tightening his grip on the leash of Flipper. The dog was taking interest in a large German shepherd who was looking at her with calculating eyes, in the dog's kind of way. But it was not the German shepherd Elliot was worrying about. It's the owner of the larger dog.

He was an alpha, definitely an alpha. Tall, smiling [to his dog], with well-built body – like a Greek status. And his scents, Elliot had never smelt such scent that had his heart beat so fast. A scent that like chocolate mixed with mint, rain, and black coffee. Strange, but not unpleasant.

Flipper made a whining sound, and the German shepherd titled its head. The larger dog made a whining sound as if it was mimicking Flipper. And the owner of the German shepherd laughed. His voice was deep, but smooth. It bugged Elliot. It made he felt insecure, but relaxed. Two opposite emotions combining together.

"Sorry, Copper always be too excited when meeting new dogs." The alpha said, and Elliot turned his eyes from the dogs to the alpha in front of him. He gulped and noticed that there was another dog sitting at this stranger's side. A Belgian Malinois. This one seemed to be well trained, unlike the German shepherd.

"Um…um…yeah…" Elliot nodded, holding the leash tighter as Flipper try to break free. His dog sent him an annoyed bark, before letting the German shepherd smell her. The alpha let his dog do as it please, but Elliot didn't feel like he wanted to socialize with this man. He looked at the alpha. He did not know what to say. Should he tell his dog's name too? Is that will make the alpha leave him alone?

But before Elliot could think of anything, the alpha looked at his watch before pulling his dog back.

"Come on, it's time to go home." He said to his dogs who seemed to be suddenly very sad. Elliot took that chance to get away too, hoping that he would not see this alpha again.

In the end, Elliot did see the alpha he met at the park again.

Darlene wanted to drive around the town, he did not know why, but she just wanted to. He shouldn't have agreed to go with her. They ended up crashing the borrowed car into a tree. Elliot was knocked out long enough to wake up again in an ambulance, and learnt that he got cuts above his eyebrows and on his cheeks, which needed to be stitched. Darlene was nowhere to be found.

Elliot was about to say he is okay [even that it's obvious he is not] when they reached the hospital. So here he was, sitting in a room with an alpha who Elliot had met at the park before.

The alpha turned to be a doctor who was on his night shift, and he immediately remembered Elliot. Elliot felt like chewing his lower lip and muttering 'fuck' out loud. He did not do both, he just stared. And then alpha doctor smiled back at him, gesturing for him to sit down and let him treated his wounds.

Elliot was grateful the hospital wasn't crowded tonight. At least all he had to do is to appear to be 'normal' until they released him. And as he waited for the doctor to finish, his mind wandered. He thought about what just happened. The nurse said that his friend, probably Darlene, told them to just get him to the hospital while she would deal with the car. So Elliot guessed that he could go home after the doctor is done.

At first Elliot did not feel comfortable being around Darlene, as his first impression about this beta [for what he could remember] was she calling him 'dickhead'. However, things changed and he changed his mind. Darlene might be rude sometimes, but she is also honest, determine, and helpful. Her skills is also impressive and outstanding.

Moreover, she is his sister.

Thinking about Darlene had Elliot thinking about others he had known. His childhood beta friend, Angela. She tried to be as good as she could be. She was honest, but sometimes too naïve.

Gideon Goddard, his former boss, a typical beta with male beta partner. It's surprisingly, but not so obviously, strange that social hadn't accepted much of both male-male and female-female couples when it came to betas. Maybe because they could not reproduce. As his boss hadn't fully come out about his sexuality yet.

Elliot had hoped that he wouldn't think of creating fsociety. Maybe, maybe he might be still working at Allsafe.

Then he thought about Romero and Mobley, two male betas who got with each other very well despite their personalities. Then the only omega of the group, despite him Trenton. She is calm, and able to face the stress better than others.

And the only alpha, Mr. Robot, or is he really Edward Alderson? My dad? No, that's me. I am mister Robot. Mr. Robot had disappeared, and Elliot didn't feel like seeking him right now. No, right now he is happy. He is content. He did not need anything. This is not him, it's not him. It's not his plan. It's the other 'Elliot Alderson' doing.

Then pain sipped through his skin, and Elliot winced. He heard a mumbled apology and realized that he was still at the hospital. The omega turned and his eyes widened as how close he and the alpha doctor was. He took a chance to read the tag on the doctor's shirt. And it said 'Dr. Blaze Lowell'. Elliot tried to remember it why his mind wandered back to the owner of the name.

He has blue eyes, no, blue-green… sharp blue-green eyes. He made me feel so strange. Like…I'm interested in him. There is something about him that is more than bugging me…. What is it?

His hands… I want to know how it will feel… if those hands touch my face without wearing the gloves…. No, I should not be thinking about him. Even when he is so…interesting. I want to see… damn…. I have to hack his facebook, what is his name again? Is it Dr Blaze Lowell?

"Mr. Alderson?"

Oh, his voice… so… what should I describe? Soft, but deep, and… and it makes me shake…not good. Not good at all.

"Mr. Alderson?"

I forget to answer him, shit. I hope he is not curious as to why I'm preoccupied.

Elliot turned to the doctor standing near him. He was about to answer, but his mind took him away again.

Blaze Lowell, tall, handsome compared to standard. Sharp eyes, like a hawk. Strong jaw, well sculptured cheekbones. So…alluring. Am I using the right words? Is there anything better…any words better to describe…

"Mr. Alderson?" The doctor spoke a little louder and startled Elliot. The hacker nearly jumped, abruptly cut out from his thought. "Mr. Alderson, do you have a concussion?" The doctor asked, and Elliot gulped.

Shit….

"No… I… the nurse has asked, I… I don't have concussion." He gulped, feeling bad about this situation already. This was not the hospital he used to come to, it had him felt unsecured.

"Hm…" Lowell stepped back, sighing. The doctor looked like as if he knew something about Elliot. Something Elliot did not want other to know. So he focused his eyes at the table not so far away as the alpha peel his gloves off. However, Elliot could not help but notice that the doctor's hair was copper-gold colour, and looked so smooth. The omega felt like touching it, if that would not have him look like a weirdo.

He must has worked out regularly. The muscles on his arms… I wonder which exercises he like, is it running track? Or he just goes to the gym? Yeah, he will probably go to the gym. It's easy, and also a good place to show your social friends you are working out. Just like how people prefer to shop online than going to the store more and more…

Wait? Is he talking about how should I treat my wounds?

Elliot titled his head a bit as he realized he wasn't listening to what the doctor said at all. And the alpha seemed to be finishing as Elliot's attention shift back to him.

"…alright, you are clear to go." Lowell, the doctor, turned toward Elliot. He was frowning and Elliot instantly knew he was about to get into troubles. "You are preoccupied again sir." He said in a friendly voice, with a chuckling at the end. Elliot felt his face reddened.

Shit, I have preoccupied again.

"Um, sorry." Elliot mumbled an apology, before standing up. The doctor gave him a look that say 'I'm generally concern about your behaviour, but it's weird to ask because it's not my business - so I will let it slide'. However, his heart suddenly felt warm from that look, as if he had never received such kind of look from anyone before. As if the alpha cared for him with deeper meaning than just a general concern of his soon-to-be-gone patient.

"I would like to suggest you to get more sleep sir," the doctor said and Elliot gulp. Here come the lecture.

Elliot took a deep breath and stopped midway as he saw something shifted in Lowell's eyes. Like there were dark secrets lurking inside that orbs. It bugged him. But before Elliot could just invert his eyes away and pretend to listen to Lowell while thinking about what the doctor was thinking – hiding - he heard someone calling the alpha doctor.

"Sir!"

A nurse called him, with her hand waving toward the ER. There was someone being transported into the room with many equipment hooking up to her. The nurse was definitely here to get Lowell.

"Alright." Lowell sighed, and Elliot nearly gasped. He saw something again….something in the alpha's eyes changed. Something dark, darker than the previous shift, replacing his easy going look. It lingers for a split second before snapping back and gone quickly – replaced by a professional look of a serious doctor.

Lowell immediately left and a new nurse came to take care of Elliot. The hacker did as she direct him of where to go, and after finishing his business, he immediately went home,

At first he wanted to go see if Darlene is alright, but decided against it. She could take care of herself. Right now there was something bugging him about the doctor. He needed to know what it is.

He had to hack.

Okay, let's start with Lowell's email, and facebook.

Elliot thought as he typed the commands on to the screen. This hospital's system was so easy to hack. Elliot had got his phone connect to the hospital's wifi before he left, after that he had granted himself an access to the hospital's system.

It didn't take Elliot long to have Lowell's profile, his email, and his address. Lowell graduated from the medical school with average grades. He is actually a surgeon who worked in ER on Wednesday and Friday night. The omega left most of the stuff untouched and focused on seeing what Lowell post about his daily life on facebook.

Lowell's facebook and email's passwords were so simple, his dogs' names. The German shepherd for his email, and the Belgian Malinois for his facebook. Copper for the German shepherd, and Silver for the Belgian Malinois.

Elliot almost smiled when he saw what Lowell had been posting since he had a facebook account. The alpha mostly posted about his dogs, and new places he had visited. Lowell usually went on a trip every weekends, with his dogs and his friends. The alpha usually went to the outskirt of town, and always got back before Sunday morning. The week he didn't go on a trip he did cross country running. On Sunday morning he went to church, then always the library.

Lowell showed great interest in woodcut and anything made of wood. He also liked long-distance running, always take his dogs with him when he did his morning run. He went to gym. He did what most alpha do.

Still, there was something bugging Elliot.

Lowell's life was so plain, so…ordinary. There is nothing notable. He gets up, exercised, and goes to work. Then he goes home, probably to feed his dogs, sometimes going out after that, to a pub or a theatre. There is nothing worth hacking. His email is also used for works only, okay, also for facebook too, but mostly it has nothing for me to check. There is no one he seems to feel special, no girlfriend. The friend he talks to most, also his high school friend, is in Canada. Others are his co-workers and his friends from the medical school.

There is something missing.

Elliot sat back, thinking about the man's face.

People always make the best exploits. They have flaws, just like everything in this world. It has never been hard to hack people, just watching them, listening to them, and yet…

Lowell is so…plain. Nothing is outstanding about this alpha. He is healthy, fifty percent of alphas always preferred to be healthy. He is attractive, most alpha males are more attractive than the others. But where are his flaws? Is it his dogs? What makes him so different from other people I have met?

Elliot sighed, turning to see the clock. It's 1:43 AM.

Lowell seems to be hiding something. Typical, everyone is hiding something all the time.

But he made me think of that alpha. Tyrell. Lowell is like Tyrell…but he isn't Tyrell. Tyrell proceeded to extrapolate without knowing everything. Not until I show him everything. That's his flaw, one of Tyrell's flaws. He is too arrogant, always overrate himself. But Lowell? No, he is just… I have a feeling he can read me. But he just didn't read me, or he did read me but I didn't notice.

Who is he? Is he really what his profile says? Just a doctor? No, he cannot be. He is not an ordinary man. Not at all.

Or is he planning something? Does he truly interest? The whole relaxed posture is an act, just like the smile Tyrell put on his face when the waiter served him his salad?

Elliot slightly frowned. This whole thing was making his head ache. And suddenly he needed to get up. He had to think. He had to do something. He felt desperate, he had never been like this before, suddenly so desperate to know about someone he just met.

What happens to me? Why I want to know about him. Why I want to know so much. What is bugging me? What is it? What is his flaws? What is his demon? What is his secret?

I have to hack his laptop - computer – anything.

Or maybe I'm imaging all of this up. Maybe Lowell was just an ordinary man. Yes, I must have imaged all of this up. Lowell is just an ordinary alpha. There is nothing for me to check. There is nothing that I need to know. He is just an alpha. He is just ANOTHER ALPHA.

And yet, I have a feeling that he isn't like any alphas I have met. I have never had such 'urges' to meet a stranger again before.

He really want to know about this alpha, something really bugged him. He wanted to answer. He wanted to know what is happening.

Elliot kept on spying, letting his computer played the footage of today's protest on mute. People have awaken, but Elliot started to have a feeling that this is not what he should do. He started to have a feeling that they should not execute E Corp. What comes with revolution is chaos, people losing their jobs when the economic goes down. There are more people who are forced to be 'bad' because they have to survive.

The world is a funny place.

However, there is nothing he can do now. It's already done. But he will not celebrate. No. He will not.

So, Elliot kept on with spying Lowell's facebook.

It had been a week after the car accident, and he still could not get over Lowell. Actually, Elliot had been spying Lowell's facebook every days. Right now he knew from Lowell's chat with his friend that the alpha's favourite food is Japanese potato salad. Lowell also liked classic music, or any songs that were created before 20th Century. Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi, anything.

Elliot was so curious of what drives him to think about Lowell so much than he should be. Well, he shouldn't be thinking of this doctor at all! Normally he wouldn't be thinking about any doctor after he got out of the hospital at all. Especially, alpha doctors. Suffering social anxiety was enough to make him felt paranoid without reasons when being with an alpha. Not to count his mental breakdown which get him sometimes – especially when he wasn't on drug. Adding the alpha-omega stuffs into his head only made it worse.

Of course this was not 12th centuries where female omegas were nothing but machine for making babies, and male omegas were seen as failures. Male omegas aren't as strong as alpha males or beta males, and could not provide as much babies as female omegas; male omegas cannot carry twins.

Elliot, as he was born an omega, always avoided mating issues and all this stuffs about biology of each people. He had been on suppressant and birth controls since he presented as an omega years ago. Even that nowadays people don't care much about your biology, alpha-alpha, beta-omega, and omega-omega couples can be seen more and more. Most of people still had an itch when they see beta-omega or omega-omega couples.

Elliot did not want more issues to be added to his mental problem. He had wanted to date Angela, but with judging eyes all around, he did not feel like asking her out. Besides, she was a beta, and female betas mostly prefer male betas or male alphas over male omegas.

And now I'm here…researching about how to make Japanese potato salad, how to take care of a German shepherd and a Belgian Malinois, and try to listen to all classic songs existing on earth.

He sighed, knocking his head with the surface of his desk.

Why? What am I doing? Preparing to be Lowell's mate?

His eyes immediately widened. Because that's it. That's the want which was, and still, in his mind since he had left the hospital. He didn't only want to see Lowell again. He wants Lowell. He wants to mate.

The truth nearly made Elliot hyperventilating. He took deep breath, telling himself to calm down, thinking about everything apart than what he just realized.

I have never interested in alphas… or mating… why now? Why now I feel like I should…let Lowell know I'm single? Why I suddenly have a feeling I have to make him notice me more than others, have to make him remember me. Why? I meet him two times, we barely had a conversation, and now I feel like I want a mate.

Elliot sighed, pushing himself off the table. He landed on his bed, staring at the ceiling as if it's going to answer every questions in his minds.

This must be an illness, probably an illness. Will Krista now how to cure it? Is it physical or mental illness? She might not. And even if she knows, she won't talk to me anyway. I've hurt her to protect her, but that doesn't mean that she is going to forgive me.

Maybe those medical websites might have answers.

So Elliot got up and immediately get to work.

After five hours of reading, Elliot came to a conclusion for his 'illnesses'. Biology had never been his strong point, so he spent more time than he intended to understand what's going on with him.

The answer for his strange wanting to mate was from the drug he used. It was a common symptom for omegas who had been on suppressant for too long. Like, over 10-15 heat cycles or 10-15 years. Elliot had been on suppressant since he found out he was an omega. After his first heat where he spent time locked up in his room for five days, getting through it with illegal sleeping pill, Elliot was always on suppressants.

Many medical documents said that the symptom he was facing was normal for omegas who were on suppressants for so long. The rating of this symptom was 60% in male omegas, and 80% in female omegas. The symptom could be from a slight interest in unknown alphas, to the point they can't stop thinking about those alphas. And it happened randomly, with any alphas around and not just one at a time.

To be more specific, once the symptom had started, it will begin with a slight interest. Mostly the omegas would get interested in alphas they have never met before. It was because since the omegas haven't mated with the alphas all around them, their brains would mostly come to a conclusion that there were no alphas they knew that were good enough. So, when they met new alphas, that's when the symptom started to escalate.

And if that alpha, or those alphas, had interacted with them in an intimidate way, or just a slight intimate way, or slightly a bit dominating the omegas, could set the symptom to escalate with faster rate. By instinct, omegas prefer strong partner, a partners who can dominate them if needed. It's because when in heat, omegas would be mostly uncomprehend and would rely on the strongest individual who capable of taking care of them and telling them what to do. Moreover, with dominate and violate are not the same words or have nothing near each other for omegas' instinct, most omegas would have no problem letting their partners leading them most of the time.

The symptom could get worse to omegas won't be able to stop thinking about the alphas they unconsciously desire, and also wanting to mate with that alpha. And if there were more than one alpha they have met, the situation would be more complicated. For alpha no.1, they might just be interested in them more than normal, but if they were also interested in a second alpha or the third, the slight interest could be develop into a need to mate.

The need to mate also have levels of it. Elliot thought that he is at level three, interesting in what that alpha's prefer, but haven't had strong sexual desire toward them yet. Which made Elliot felt glad he isn't at a higher level yet.

But he was going to be there soon if he didn't do something.

Tyrell Wellick was the first alpha. The intimidation in his eyes, the way he stepped into Elliot's personal space. All of those action triggered the symptom. The way he carried himself around Elliot. Everything he did were always about dominance. Then Blaze Lowell came along after Tyrell disappeared.

Elliot gulped.

The easiest way to make it go away was to allow the heat to take place for once. That's it. He just had to let the heat occurred, and then he would be free from this symptom until it came back to them in ten or fifteen years ahead.

Elliot immediately searched on omega service. He was not going to have his heat here, it's not safe enough for him. Many hospitals had a heat program for omega, where they would prepare the room for omegas to have their heat probably. In which the omegas could chose to sleep through the heat or to have stay awaked and accompanied by toys. There was also an omega service where omegas could get real alphas to knock them too. However, giving his present condition that he could barely remember his own sister sometimes, Elliot didn't think having a real alpha for his heat is going to be a good idea.

The omega hacker immediately search for the nearest hospital that offered this service. He found one and immediately booked an appointment. The doctors need to do some test on him before they could continue with the program, just standard protocol.

Elliot wanted to check the hospital's system to read the file about its medical staffs and patients but he could not. The managers of this hospital were smart enough to hire some decent techs to take care of their system. He has to get into the hospital's wifi before he could begin any hacking. That's not good for him, but he still had a chance to do it when he got there.

Also, he needed to be prepared.

Elliot nodded to himself before he took out an empty USB Flash Dive from his drawer.

The next day Elliot was at Green Leaf Hospital. By Elliot's standard, this was a nice place. Not to count that it had a perfect among of the costumers/patients per day, so it wasn't too crowded for Elliot.

Elliot immediately took his place into the café, looking for a target. Getting into the Café's wifi was easy, all he had to do was buying their drink. At first he wanted to try leaving a flash drive at where any hospital staffs would probably see, and they would be curious enough to see what's in the flash drive. However, he had tried dumping it on the hallway. One of the medical staffs picked it up, but instead of connecting it to the computer, he just threw it into a bin nearby. So here Elliot is, sitting in the café.

Right now Elliot was waiting for a suitable hospital's staff to come in. A staff who had access to the hospital's computer.

Elliot waited and waited, until one of the receptionist at the reception walked in to buy a coffee. Elliot immediately got into the hospital's wifi with her cell phone. After that he went home to continue the hacking.

The girl he hacked into her phone is a beta nurse name Mary Brown. She just broke up with her boyfriend and right now dating a female alpha. Elliot got into the hospital system through her username and password. He now had full access to the system and its data.

Elliot started with checking the profile of each doctors, nurses and staffs working at omega service department. He also checked their profiles, facebook, twitters, and emails. It turned out every one of them were good people. It kind of made Elliot felt bad, because these staffs reminded him of Gideon. He felt bad hacking Gideon's phone, and now he felt slightly guilty hacking these staffs.

However, Elliot shook those feeling off seconds later. He close the windows and leant back against his chair. Flipper was making a whining sound in the background. He had to take her out before she pissed on his pillows again.

" ?"

"…yes?"

"This way sir."

Elliot nodded at the nurse and followed her out of the room. Yesterday he had come here for the check up and the doctor gave him an 'all-clear'. So here he was today, to make an appointment of when he would be spending his heat here. Elliot hoped that this was not going to take long. He wasn't good at conversation. He hoped the doctor would not ask why he was on the suppressants for so long.

It turned out that everything went smoother than what he had predicted. The beta doctor got straight to the point of when he wanted to spend his heat here. Elliot said that he wanted to use the room in the next week; he was so ready to get this over with. The doctor nodded and arranged the schedule for him, telling Elliot what he needed to prepare before the heat.

After that Elliot went home, relieved that his symptom would finally disappear. He would no longer have to spy on Lowell profile everyday again.

"…Mr. Alderson. Before we proceed to the next step. I would like you to meet Doctor Lowell."

"Hm?"

Elliot felt his heart jump. Lowell? He heard the name right? No, Blaze Lowell didn't work here, this must be another Lowell who was also a doctor. He blinked and his heart skipped beat, as the man standing in front of him was the alpha who had been causing him problems since their first met.

Blaze Lowell is standing in front of me, am I dreaming? Is this a hallucination? I've doubled check the staffs in Green Leaf hospital. Blaze Lowell does not work here.

Elliot was so shocked he nearly missed what Dr. Martin, his doctor, was talking. He hoped that it wasn't showed on his face. He could not let Lowell knew what he was thinking – feeling.

"Dr. Lowell will help monitoring you while you sleep, to make sure everything is running smoothly. But don't worry, the only persons that have access to this room is me and a beta nurse…."

Lowell will be watching me sleep?!

Hey, but at least he isn't going in here…

Elliot felt like cancelling this program, even that right now he had already changed into a patient clothes, with the heat that was going to hit within six hours after he taking heat triggering medicine. He did not want Lowell to watch him, or more than that, saw him writhing as the heat took over. He did not want Lowell to see him making a mess.

But before Elliot knew, Lowell as taking his place at the monitor room that connected to the room he would be staying by a glass window. A window that would let the people in the monitor room see how Elliot was doing, but wouldn't let Elliot see them. He felt intimidating, but there was nothing he could do now.

Come on, just sleeping through heat. Nothing is going to happen. These doctors are professional. They are just doing their job. Like Dr. Martins said; he wasn't going to go in here. I'm good. I will be alright…

Elliot tried to tell himself that everything is going to be alright as he stepped into the room. His brain had automatically tuned out what Dr. Martin was talking. Elliot hoped he wouldn't miss something important.

"…any question Mr. Alderson?"

Ah, I missed all he said again. I hope he won't notice.

"No, I'm good." Elliot replied, looking around the white room that connected to the bathroom by the door opposite to the black glass window. The large bed was between them. The bed he was going to spend his time on for five days or more.

There were also four camera in each corner. And a machine that would monitor his pulse, his heart rate etc.

"Alright." Dr. Martin nodded and looked at his watch. "It's almost time…."

The beta doctor talked for some more, and all Elliot could do was nodding. His brain had tuned the voice out again. And before he knew it, he was alone in the room.

Elliot gulped, looking around. He could feel the heat surging through his vein. The heat is starting and there is a sleeping pill on the nightstand beside the bed. With a glass of water. Elliot had request that he would be the one decide when he wanted to go to sleep. After that Dr. Martin and the nurse will go in to hook him up to the machine. Then they will visit Elliot every 24 hours to give him a shot, or have him eat something if Elliot was still conscious enough.

So now it's me… and Lowell watching me. Separated by a glass window.

The omega took a deep breath. He looked around the room one last time before picking the pill up and swallowed.
