Jonah let the boy go and took a step back. "Omega?" He questioned.
Cyrus scrambled to the far side of his room and hugged his knees to his chest. Jonah had felt guilty. He wasn't there for his friend. He had wondered why Cyrus didn't show up to school. Cyrus was known for perfect attendance so he was always at School.
"Cy...I..I didn't know." Jonah stammered.
He walked over to the boy but avoided touching him. "Cyrus...I'm sorry. I should've...I should've been there." Jonah confessed.
"But you weren't. You were supposed to be my friend." Cyrus sobbed.
"I am your friend." Jonah responded getting closer.
Cyrus pushed Jonah away with all his strength making the boy fall on to his butt.
"Stay away from me!" Cyrus demanded.
That hurt Jonah. He didn't want to leave Cyrus like this. With their friendship in shambles.
"Cy..." he pleaded.
"We cant be friends anymore." Cyrus announced.
Jonah's eyes widened. "Cy...Alphas and Omegas are capable of being friends. Your friends with Buffy." Jonah noted.
Cyrus shook his head. "No...please. Stay away from me Jonah!" Cyrus cried out.
Cyrus could feel his increasing attraction for the boy in front of him. The feelings he used to receive when the boy was around prior to his birthday seemed to be multiplied by ten. He was fighting with himself. He wanted Jonah to hold him again. Touch him again. Make him feel better. He couldn't take these feelings.
"Cy...I refuse to believe you don't want to be my friend just because your an omega. I'd never use you like other Alphas would. That's wrong." Jonah replied.
"J-Jonah please just go...please." Cyrus whispered.
Jonah shook his head. "No Cyrus I'm not leaving unt..." Jonah stopped talking once he smelled a sweet scent.
It was something he had never smelled before. It was as if the sweetest candy that was ever produced was somehow made into the richest fragrance. It seemed to take hold of his brain. His thoughts went blank and the only thing on his mind was the scent. His pupils dilated and the expression on his face became one of hunger. The scent put him into a trance bringing out the animalistic characteristics within him. He looked at Cyrus who's face was red.
Cyrus was beginning his heat and he couldn't control his body. He knew once Jonah hugged him that he had started his heat. That's why he was in the corner. His face was extremely hot and he was letting out low moans and pants. He could feel his hands trembling and his mouth watering. For some reason his body wouldn't let him run. As much as he wanted to he couldn't. Cyrus eyes drifted to Jonah and the look on the boys face scared him. He could see Jonah fighting his natural instincts. Jonah was growling but somehow holding himself back from touching Cyrus.
"J-J...Jonah.." Cyrus tried to talk to the boy but he couldn't control his voice either.
Jonah began to approach Cyrus who was now breathing heavily. Cyrus heart was beating faster and faster with ever step the boy took. That's when it happened. Jonah couldn't control himself anymore. It was the strongest smell he had ever smelled coming from an Omega. He had been with other omega girls but they never gave off this kind of scent. It was never this sweet and enticing.
Jonah launched himself from where he was standing on top Cyrus's body and attacked the boys neck with hard bites. Cyrus moaned loudly as the boy bit down on his neck. Suddenly his door swung open and Cyrus's panicked mother ripped Jonah off of Cyrus. She held him back as he tried to fight her off to get to Cyrus who he had marked as his. Cyrus was a panting mess as he stared lustfully at Jonah. He had lost all free will once Jonah marked him. He felt a pair of strong arms pick him up and take him out of the room. He tried to fight off who ever it was but he was still to weak. His breathing was still heavy and he felt empty without Jonah present.
"Cyrus...Dammit..,.I didn't expect it to happen this early." Cyrus's dad announced.
His step father was also present in the room but was covering his face with a pheromone blocker.
"His scent is strong. I can smell it even through this...I'm gonna go check on Leslie and Jonah." The man said exiting the room.
Cyrus's dad placed a pill into Cyrus's mouth and made the boy drink water. He instantly fell asleep and the man tucked the boy into the guest bed. He kissed the boy on the forehead the locked the door and shut it.
Meanwhile in his room Jonah had finally calmed down and returned back to normal. He looked at Cyrus's parents in fear.
"I'm so sorry... I didn't want to...I couldn't control it. Please...I just came here to apologize to him then he...he went into heat...It was so..."
Jonah's eyes went dark and he could feel a longing feeling from just thinking about the scent. He started to growl again and Cyrus step father placed a hand on the boy shoulder stopping him from going anywhere.
"Jonah...breath...take control of it. Think of something else. Get Cyrus out of your mind." He explained.
Jonah took a deep breath and calmed himself. He instantly started crying which surprised the adults.
"Hey it's ok...we're not mad at you. I'm sure this wasn't you're intentions at all. It was Cyrus's first heat so of course you couldn't control yourself." Cyrus mom assured.
"Still...It was stronger then most heats." Her ex-husband noted entering the room.
"He also marked Cyrus as his. Normally Alphas don't do that unless they have found their life mate...Jonah do you love my son?" Cyrus's mother asked.
Jonah wiped his tears and thought about the woman's question. He had forced his feelings for Cyrus out of his mind a long time ago. He thought that if he ignored the feelings that they'd eventually go away. He didn't want to be labeled as the "gay alpha". The feelings did go away the more he ignored them but he found himself ignoring Cyrus all together and he missed he boy.
"I don't know." He muttered. Cyrus's stepfather frowned.
"Do you know what marking someone as yours means right?" The man asked.
Jonah sighed and nodded his head. He knew that it meant that Cyrus would be bound to him forever. It was extremely hard and expensive to get rid being imprinted or marked. The only other alternative was death. Betas didn't have to deal with this because they weren't able to be imprinted on.
"Jonah...honey...I need you to look at me...Cyrus is our only son. I care about him more then anything. He's extremely fragile. You've imprinted on him. I need you to promise me that you won't break him. Because if you do..." Cyrus's mother thought about her next choice of words.
"I'll kill you." She smiled.
