Uruha walked into the dark room and out to the balcony where his friend was sitting on the railing looking out at the moon. Uruha looked at the snow covered city before looking over at his friend.

"Reita? Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine" He whispered. It had been three days since his incident at the café and Shinya told Kyo he needed to rest. They kept asking him if remembered what had happened and he did, but he told them that he couldn't remember anything other than mopping. Kyo told him he couldn't work at the café anymore and that really brought him down. He started sleeping up here alone and started telling the members he didn't want to scent with them.

Kyo was worried because he had skipped dinner and so he sent Uruha to check up on him. Uruha stood there looking out at the busy city. The wind blew and he shivered. That's when he noticed Reita was just sitting here wearing only a black tank top and a pair of grey sweat pants.

"Aren't you cold?" He asked.

Reita shook his head. "I like the cold. Makes you feel for a while, then it numbs your body to where you can't feel anymore."

"You need to come inside and warm up before you get sick." Uruha said as he moved to grab his friend's hand, but Reita pulled away. "Why did you miss dinner?"

Reita shrugged his shoulders. "Wasn't hungry I guess."

"Still…you should have at least sat with us. Kyo is worried about you." Uruha said placing his hand on the blonde's shoulder.

"Kyo…is going to make me leave soon." Reita sighed out.

"What? What makes you think that?" The honey blonde gasped out.

"Because...I'm broken."

"Reita, you're not broken. Where did this come from?"

The blonde took a deep breath to control his emotions. "I am broken. I can't do anything right. I keep messing everything up and I'm far too clumsy. Plus it's been well over a month and my heat cycle still hasn't hit and…I can't change my form yet… I feel so damaged."

"Why didn't you say anything?" Uruha asked. "You don't have to deal with all this alone. We're here for you. We're your pack, your family."

"No…I'm not. Nao… he said I wasn't."

"You idiot." Uruha giggled. "Don't let what Nao of all people tell you that. Kyo is the pack leader not him. And if Kyo says you're one of us then you are.

Reita shook his head. "Yeah well I'm still broken…"

"Hey, your old pack leader messed up your internal system. Shinya said this could happen. Your body just needs to adjust and get back on track. Your heat cycle will come, I promise."

"But until then…I won't be able to have a mate will I?" Reita mumbled.

Uruha gave him a puzzled look then gave him a grin. "Why Reita, do you have a crush on an alpha?"

The blonde shrugged with a smile "Maybe…"

"Oh, tell me, tell me!" The other omega said jumping up and down.

"It's nothing…just when he… it's embarrassing." Reita said with a small smile, but the look on his friend's face made him give in. "When he talks, I just shiver and when he compliments me I feel like I'm melting. When he touches me…I don't know how to explain it. I just feel so warm and calm. I feel so…I don't know…"

"Oh my god…Reita, who is it?"

"I'm not telling you!" He laughed.

"No seriously, Reita. That's sounds more like a bond, not like a playful mate."

Reita looked at him to find him with an amazed expression. "Are you serious?"

"Yes!"

"No…it can't be." Reita sighed. "That can't happen to me. I'm not…I can't…I didn't even know about bonds until I came here."

"Reita…"

"Hey I'm tired. Kyo has me starting at the clinic tomorrow and I really don't want to fuck up again. I'm going to bed. Please don't tell anyone about our talk."

Uruha nodded. He watched as Reita turned and hopped back onto the balcony. They closed the glass door behind them and Reita went to a futon as Uruha walked to the door.

"Goodnight Reita."

"Night."

The past two weeks he skipped dinner often and has gone to sleep alone. These were usually days he'd seen Nao flirting with Kai or asking him to sleep together. Sometimes he just ignored it and slept in the foyer. He didn't know why he was getting so jealous. They barely know each other and they spend less time together now than they did before. Through all this though, he managed to miss all the looks Kai was sending his way. Kai's worry for Reita grew with every meal he missed and every night he was alone. The alpha closed his eyes at night thinking about the new omega and how he wanted to smell his vanilla scent.

Uruha had stayed quiet during those two weeks. He didn't bring it up or tell anyone about the conversation they had on the balcony and Reita was thankful for it. Reita's head healed pretty quickly and by this point he just had faint mark. When he started at the clinic he was nervous, but it turned out filing paperwork was hard to mess up. All he had to do was check people in, have new patients fill out forms, type the new information in, and run insurance cards through the system. He sat at the desk most of the day and only got up to go to the break room to eat during lunch. One of them usually left and grabbed food and coffee for everyone else. Reita still hadn't gone yet because they didn't want him getting lost and be late coming back. He wished they had more faith in him, but then again he had little faith in himself to do it too.

Reita sighed as he finished typing the file into the system. He placed the paper in a folder and placed that in a pile to shelve later. He stretched out when he felt a presence behind him. He turned in the chair to find Byou smiling at him.

"Hey, would you get lunch today?"

This was a surprise and Reita smiled. "Sure."

"Great. Here's the list of what we want. Don't forget our coffee, too." Byou said with a smile. "You can leave now."

"Alright, be back soon." He said. He grabbed his coat and headed out..

His first stop was a fast food place since coming back he passes the coffee shop. It only made sense. He placed the large order and waited for about ten minutes before he was handed two paper bags of food. He rushed down to the coffee shop hoping he would make it back to the clinic by lunch time. He stepped inside and the familiar scent filled his nose. He smiled as he walked up to register were Kai was handing an order over. The brunette smiled at Reita.

"Hey. What are you doing here?"

Reita lifted the bags of food. "They finally trust me to get lunch."

"Ahh, so the regular drinks then?" Kai asked already typing in the orders. Reita smiled and just handed him the bills and exact change. Ruki waved before he started making the to-go order for him.

"Hey, do you think you can carry it all?" Kai asked.

"I should be okay." Reita said with a shrug.

"Why don't I help?" The alpha asked but before he could answer, Kai turned to Ruki and started talking to him. "Hey, I'm going to walk Reita over to the clinic. You'll be okay right?"

"We'll be fine." He said handing over the cardboard cup holder with all their drinks inside.

They headed down the sidewalk taking their time. They gently nudged each other and tapped each other's hands as they walked. They stopped at the crosswalk just before the clinic to wait and Kai leaned over taking a big sniff of Reita's neck. "Sweet as always. I miss you scent."

Reita blushed. "We live together…"

"Yeah, but you never want to be around me."

"That's because you have Nao hanging off your shoulder where ever you go." Reita said without realizing and quickly tried to correct himself. "I-I mean—"

"It's okay. I know you're jealous." Kai said with a smile.

"I am not!" Reita said with a small laugh. The light turned for them to cross and they started walking. "I'm not jealous of him."

"Oh, so you don't mind us hugging?"

"Nope."

"Scenting?"

"No."

Kai smiled. "You don't mind us…kissing?"

They were in front of the clinic by this point. Reita stopped in his tracks with wide eyes and he turned to the brunette with a slight glare. "You two kiss?"

"Maybe…maybe not." Kai said as walked to the back of the clinic. Reita followed behind.

"Oh no, you can't just say something like that and not answer my question. Kai!" He groaned as they made it to the back. There was a bench and table about five feet from the back door and Kai placed the cups on it.

"You didn't answer my question first."

"Wha…I…fine… yes. I'm jealous that you spend more time with him than with me. I'm jealous when you touch him, when you let him hang off your arm, and just the thought of… of you two…kissing…" Reita stammered. Great he was flustered. "Now answer my question."

Kai bit his bottom lip before answering. "Yeah, we've kissed."

Reita didn't know what he was expecting to feel, but he felt angry. He didn't know why though. Why should he feel angry? It's not like Kai was his or anything. He found himself turning and walking to the clinic door, but Kai caught his arm. He turned Reita around and took the bags from his hands. He placed them on the snowy table then step forward and Reita stepped back. They kept moving until Reita's back was pushed against the wall and Kai was pushing against the omega. He leaned down and sniffed in Reita's scent.

"We tried being mates a few months back so of course we kissed. I tried making love to him, but it didn't work out. So I broke it off. Since you've been here all I've been thinking about is you. These past couple of weeks all I've thought about were your eyes, your smell… your lips."

He grabbed the omega's chin and held it as he placed a soft kiss on the chapped lips. Reita let out a whimper as heat spread throughout his body. He pushed forward to kiss back. It was just soft pecks at first to test the waters. Reita hesitated at first, but then licked at Kai's lips. The brunette's eyes dilated before they closed and he moved his tongue to meet Reita's. He pushed his body more into the blonde's, pushing his leg between the omega's thighs. Kai allowed his hands to explore the trapped body. Reita moaned out as he felt Kai's hands slip under his shirt and hold his hips. He found one hand clenching at Kai's shirt and his other hand grabbing his brunette hair.

They had lost track of time. Reita didn't know how long they had been kissing, but it was long enough for his lips to swell. His jacket had fallen to his elbows as Kai attacked his neck with rough bites and his hands explored under Reita's shirt. Reita faintly heard the door nearby open, but they didn't pull apart until a cough caught their attention. They looked at the door to see Byou smirking with a raised brow and Shinya looking at them with his arms crossed.

"Told you I smelled him." Byou said.

"How long were you out here?" Shinya asked. "And where's our food we're hungry?"

Kai pointed at the table and Byou clicked his tongue as walked out to grab it all. "Better not have gotten cold."

"Reita…you coming?" Shinya asked as Byou stepped back in with everything.

Before Reita could answer, Kai grabbed his chin and turned head back towards him. "He'll be in soon." Kai then captured the blonde's lips again and Reita allowed him to. His omega instincts were kicking in, telling him to give complete control to this alpha. His alpha. Reita pulled away and moved his head back to expose his neck. Kai gave a low, satisfied growl as he bit down on the pale flesh. Reita moaned out, closing his eyes as his body was filled with heat.

At some point Reita started to feel like he was floating. He couldn't explain it. It felt like Kai was making him high and he loved it. When Kai bit his neck it didn't hurt, but it sent waves of warmth through his body and made him moan. His pants were slowly growing faster with each motion. Kai pushed his pressure onto the blonde making him whither. Every time Reita moaned, it made Kai want to take the blonde right then and there.

"…Kai!" His eye shot open and he glared at who interrupted him. Byou was standing there. "You need to stop. Reita has to get back to work."

'Already?' He thought. 'How long were we doing this?' He looked at the slumped, flushed blonde in his arms and growled. He reluctantly gave in and gave Reita small kisses on his cheek. "Reita" He said gently. "We have to stop. Come on, snap out of it."

A few more gentle kisses and him coaxing brought Reita out of his dreamlike state. He rubbed his head and sighed. "It's over already?"

Byou was staring in shock, but shook his head and put on a straight face. "Reita." He caught the blonde's attention. "You have to get back to work."

Dazed, Reita nodded his head and moved to go back in. Byou stopped him to fix his clothes, and then let him go. After he got passed Byou, the alpha looked at Kai who was getting back to himself. "Did…did you two just go into a pressure sphere?"

Kai smiled as he stepped back and turned to head back to the café.

When Kai made it back he quickly got behind the counter to help with the line. He and Ruki stood shoulder to shoulder making drinks. Ruki sniffed the air to find Reita's scent nearby. He leaned in a little more and sniffed again. Kai stepped back to hand the order to his customer. They continued the process until the rush died down and the only customers were those at the tables. Ruki grabbed Kai's arm and dragged him to the back room. He pushed the brunette and against the wall to lean in. He took a deep breath then pushed off.

"You're covered in Reita's scent. Not just that, but some seriously strong omega pheromones are all over you." Ruki stated with a smile. "What did you do?"

Kai gave a toothy grin. "Oh just a little…connecting."

Ruki's eyes grew wide. "Is he a potential bond mate?"

"I don't know man, but we kissed and it was amazing. Not like any normal mate I've had before."

Nao ears caught this and he growled. He stepped out from behind his station and walked to where they were standing. "What are you talking about?"

Ruki patted his friend's shoulder with a smile. "That's all you man. Have fun." With that he went back to the front. Kai sighed as he was left alone with his ex-mate.

"Nothing. Get back to work."

Reita groaned behind the desk and Shou, who was sitting next to him, gave a small laugh. "You okay over there? Did, ah, Kai do too much damage to your neck?"

Reita turned red. He came back in with five bloody bite marks on his neck that Shinya proceeded to cover with Band-Aids. Then of course, Byou blurted out to everyone that it was Kai who had done it which started a bunch of questions from them all. Luckily they had to get back to work and didn't have time to interrogate him further.

"No." He groaned sitting back. He grabbed a folder a started fanning himself. "It's just hot in here."

"It's the same temperature as earlier."

He groaned even more. "I haven't been able to cool off since…"

"Oh," Shou laughed. "He got you fired up, huh?"

"Shut up." He said putting his head down, but still fanning himself. "It's been twenty minutes already."

Shou smirked and continued to make fun of him, but then another twenty minutes passed and then finally a whole hour. Reita felt like he was getting hotter and he was starting to sweat. Shou took notice of this and the joking stopped.

"I'm going to get Shinya." Shou said and walked away. He made his way down the hall to the exam room where the beta was talking to a mother about her daughter's sprain wrist. He knocked on the door and caught their attentions. "I need to talk to you."

"Can it wait a minute, I'm almost done." Shinya said turning back around.

"I don't think it can."

Shinya sighed and excused himself to walk out of the room. "What is it?"

"I think Reita is about to start his heat." Shou said.

"What?"

"He's says he's feeling hot and he's sweating. It's been like this for an hour now."

"Okay have Reita meet me in the break room." Shinya ordered and poked his head back into the room with the patient. "I'm sorry, an emergency came up. I'm going to have my partner finish explaining everything and answer any questions you have. Please excuse me."

He walked down to Byou and informed of what happened before walking to the break room where Reita was fanning himself at the table. "How long has this been going on? Since morning, lunch, when?"

Reita groaned. "It started when…Kai and I were…you know…that."

Shinya started examining the omega. He thought to himself as he went over his mental check list. 'Rising body temperature. Large amounts of perspiration. Flushed face and arms.' Reita moaned when his neck was touched. 'Sensitive neck.' "Reita. You're about to start your heat week."

The shocked blonde looked up at him. "What?"

"You heard me. I'll call for an alpha to come get you and take you home." He said and moved to the phone on the wall as Reita slumped in his chair in shock. Shinya dialed the familiar number and waited.

"Silver Fangs, Kyo speaking."

"Hey, it's Shinya. Listen it looks like Reita is about to go into heat. Can you send an alpha here to escort him home?"

"Are you sure?" Kyo asked. Shinya looked over at Reita and took a big whiff of the air around him. There was a faint sweet musk in the air.

"Positive."

"I'll call Ruki. I'll see you when you get home tonight."

"Yeah, see you then." Shinya hung up with that and got a rag wet to wipe Reita's face.

Kai was filling a cup up when the phone rang and he answered it with smile. "Thanks for calling Kai's Café, this is Kai how can I help you?"

"It's Kyo, put Ruki on the line."

"Yo, Ru, Kyo wants a word with you." He shaking the phone in the air. Ruki grabbed it and continued making the next order that was up.

"Ruki here. Right. I'm on my way." He said and hung up. "Sorry Kai, duty calls. I have to go."

"What why?"

"You'll find out later!" And with that he left.
