Omega Scent

Zac Reegan is a money lover. He was only 25 years old when he became a poor lone Omega who lived to pay off his parents' debt for the rest of his life. To pay all his debts and living expenses, he had to work from one place to another, from morning to night, and so on. Since working in multiple places still didn't bring him much money, he ended up becoming a host. With his handsome and gentle face, in one month, he became famous and got the first position of most wanted host. Now he doesn't just earn a lot of money. Due to the alluring smell of pheromones, he provides One Night Stand services, and dares to charge high fees from his customers. But apparently the debt is too big and it's still not enough! He's only been a host for three months and his father's debt to the underworld mafia goes back six years. The debt might not be huge, but the interest rates would go up every year and choke him. This is what overwhelmed him! So when a foreign visitor came to him with two suitcases of cash in his slump, Zac's eyes nearly fell. He immediately lit up and thought of the scenario of the classic drama that was often shown on his home television. "Take this money and get out of my son's life." But instead of looking at the elegant rich old woman with all sorts of gold on her body, he saw an unexpected man. It's also not like his usual tenant is just an old man with a big belly and an oily face—he's young, handsome, strong and confident. His face is Zac's favorite type. At that time there was no classic drama dialogue on television, there was no temptation to stop at a commercial hotel. He only heard the man say, "Marry me and this is security deposit." "Huh?" "Don't get me wrong, it's just a contract marriage. Someone gave your contact and said that you can do anything for money. It just so happens that you're Omega and we can do this together because I'm Alpha." The man continued. Wait ... Zac couldn't digest this all at once and was in a daze. "Contract marriage?" The man with dimples on his cheeks nodded. "Is this really a contract marriage?" Somehow Zac was excited, looking left and right excitedly. "Wait, was I invited by a certain artist management to join their show? Is this a We Got Married show like in South Korea?" "..." "Tell me it's true! Am I really going to be a celebrity?" Zac is excited. Being a celebrity is also good, he can become rich in an instant without having to laboriously serve the lust of an old single old Alpha again. He immediately stroked the rim of the open suitcase and drooled. The man closed the suitcase tightly. "What are you talking about?" Zac waved. "Where's the camera? Tell me where they are? I'm ready!" The face of the rich guest with the money case immediately darkened. 'Was he introduced by a fool?' he thought. "You seem to have misunderstood, I'm here ..." Zac cleared his throat, changing his demeanor to a very graceful one, "Ah, I see now. I'm sorry. Then cut that part and I'll start getting into acting." "..." 'What do you understand?' 'What act?' "So what's your name again? Will you be my partner on the show?" ".........!!!" "No! No! You're an Alpha, if we're alone, something could happen that's out of our control. What if I get pregnant? Is there any compensation or something? Will I be paid a lot if I get pregnant?" Zac chattered to his heart's content. "It is not like that ..." The man stopped words as he was enveloped in a sweet smell that filled the narrow room. But in the sense of smell, it is not a sweet smell! On the other hand, Zac who is flirting with releasing his pheromones, begins to display a sensual style. He was used to doing this because this was his way of earning money. Being a prostitute from man to man, Zac eagerly glances at the man, finding out if his pheromones are liked and hoping for a suitable relationship. However, not only did he see the man in shock, he even saw the face of the man in front of him turn blue and green. Then immediately covered his mouth and vomited. Zack is confused. His pheromones were out of control now, and the man was throwing up at him? Before Zac could get angry, the man got angry first, his eyes bloodshot, and he screamed, "What are you doing? Hide that rotten egg smell! I could die!" "Rotten eggs?" *** So in reality this is not an invitation to be a celebrity. The handsome Alpha is named Jeremiah Mulin. It was said by his assistant that he wanted to do a contract deal with Zac for a high fee. The assistant briefly explained to Zac about Jeremiah's condition, the main thing being that he was allergic to any Omega smell. Jeremiah would throw up at it. Jeremiah's family is very rich. Said he was a pampered second generation. He was the second child of the Mulin family, the largest industrial royal family and the number one richest in the city. This contract marriage was solely done by him so that his mother would stop setting him up with the Omega out there, which always made him nauseous and sick. It's a shame that his mother doesn't know Jeremiah's condition, and Jeremiah himself is reluctant to tell her. That was why the blind dates arranged for him never stopped. "Oh, I see now." Zack nodded. Jeremiah, who was afraid of being attacked by pheromones, sat in the corner of a chair wearing a mask. "So do you want it or not?" "I'll think about it," Zac replied. Jeremiah clicked his tongue. "What to think about? You have a debt that has not been paid off, with such a small amount I can pay it off for you, how?" This Alpha already looked at him in disgust and said that his pheromones smelled like rotten eggs. Zac actually hates it a lot even though he knows that it's because of Jeremiah's rare physical condition. He said, "Why don't you go to the doctor?" "Is that any of your business?" Jeremiah snorted. His male assistant, who had been invited in after the pheromone attack nearly brought Jeremiah down, easily explained, "Mr. Remi has checked his condition to several good hospitals, but the results are not satisfactory. He can be cured, but the doctor says it will take a lot of time and patience. He must find the right Omega who will join in the treatment, the risk has not been determined. Abroad there are several cases similar to this, the comparison worldwide is 1:10. There are many of them who are successful and there are also who end in death due to the release of the unstable estrus period under these conditions. It's actually not profitable." That bad? "Then why did you choose me?" Zac looked at Jeremiah. It wasn't that Zac wanted to reject it either, but he just didn't accept it because of what Alpha just said. All the Alphas said that his pheromone were sweet like some mixed flowers, so sweet, and it really can't be described in words. So the smell of rotten eggs was like an insult to him. "You just have to pretend to be my Omega and we'll live together. The rest I won't touch you." Zac frowned when he heard this. He fell into complicated thoughts. There are plenty of crooked mashers out there just to get their hands on the beautiful Omega. Is Zac being scammed? Zac looked Jeremiah's look up and down, but this Alpha was so handsome and everything he wore was famous and luxurious. Let alone his watch, it was a rare limited edition, one that Zac had wanted all along! "So you don't want to?" Jeremiah was very unhappy when Zac stared at him like that, sighing. "Seth, let's go. Just wasting time here." "Wait, wait. I was just asking, why are you angry?" Zac stopped him. "If you really didn't find anyone else, you should have persuaded me. It's not that I don't want to, anyway, but ..." "But?" Jeremiah stared at him impatiently. "Will my debt really be paid off?" Zac asked shamelessly. Jeremiah just clicked his tongue. This Omega is really arrogant even though he is in the corner of hard times. He pulled out a blank check, signed it, and tossed the check to Zac. "Write down how much you need. If the amount is reasonable, this check can be cashed." Jeremiah who had turned nonchalant, suddenly stopped. "I'll call you when exactly to meet my parents. Two days from now at the earliest." "What? That fast?" Zac was shocked. "You mind?" "No! No! Let's do it! And this money really will be disbursed, won't it?" Zac cradled the check in his hand like a treasure, feeling that his freedom was about to be won. Jeremiah looked into Zac's clear green eyes, replied, "Of course." Zac excitedly took his hand. "Deal!" *** Zac thought that when Jeremiah's assistant named Seth explained his boss' condition, Zac would be asked to help Alpha recover. In reality, he was only hired as a 'wife' to stop Jeremiah from being sent on blind dates. This kind of made Zac laugh. The morning after their meeting, Seth came to pick him up in a luxurious black car. The Beta man came down and brought the suitcase for him. "Is this all?" Seth asked coldly. "Yeah, that's enough." Zack shrugged. He occasionally glanced at Seth and accidentally found the ring on his ring finger, feeling a little disappointed. To be honest Zac prefers Seth's look. The Beta looks mature and educated, more so than the naughty and sloppy Jeremiah. But it's only natural because he is a spoiled young master. Seth is a Beta after all. So far, Zac has never been satisfied serving the Betas. Not only do they not emit a pheromone smell, they also can't smell its sweet, intoxicating pheromone. This is very unfortunate. "When will I meet his mother?" asked Zac on the way. Seth replied, "There was a family dinner that Mr. Remi arranged beforehand, but he fell ill due to your pheromone attack, so it was cancelled." Zac is shocked to hear this and feels very guilty. "Is his condition really that serious?" Seth's eyes flashed. He didn't answer right away and turned the steering wheel around the corner, before finally saying, "Yes." "..." "If estrus comes, it's a worrying state. Alphas are not like Omegas, they can withstand that state with ordinary inhibitors. Alphas have a hard time holding back, if he gets close to Omegas he definitely can't attack them, but even if he do it, he can never finish it. He'll get sick from his allergies and unresolved desires. That's not a good condition." "So what was he doing back then?" Zac was curious. "Usually he will go to a hidden place. He has prepared a private island to dwell in his estrus." Zac hates the rich so easily for buying a private island like they buy peanuts. "He's been holding back his own desires all this time?" Seth smiled bitterly. "Yes." They didn't speak again halfway through. The car was driven into a middle-class residential area and Seth stopped at one of the terraced houses with large courtyards. Rather than all the houses Zac had seen during the trip, this one was very simple. Seth and Zac came down together. As Seth picked up his trunk he said, "Don't be offended by what Remi said to you. He didn't mean anything bad." Zac felt weird. "You call him Remi?" Seth smiled mysteriously. "Actually I'm not his assistant, and Remi's family isn't that rich. But he has enough." "So I was tricked?" "I'm sorry, Zac, but yes, we tricked you." Seth explained in a hurry. "Remi is in a rare genetic condition and has a hard time finding a partner. His mother who threw himself into blind dates is real, all this time Remi has been looking for Omega to work with him, but it's been very difficult." "Then my debt ... what about my debt?" Zac panicked. "That debt will still be repaid by Remi, even though he doesn't come from the number one richest family, but he has a lot of money. We did all this just so you can be sure." Zac heaved a sigh of relief. Whatever happened, the most important thing was that the debt was paid off, he would feel at ease. It's because he never knew who the number one rich man in town was that's why he was fooled, right? Seth saw his relief and couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry, because it's a work contract, you'll get your pay every month." Zac understood. "If you don't mind answering, what's your relationship with Jeremiah? You're Beta, right?" Seth was silent for a while before replying, "I'm just his friend." Someone who cared about other people even though they were just friends, that was very rare. Zac didn't have many friends during this time. Since he was busy making money, all he did was get acquainted with Bos, coworkers and customers at the club. The rest do not communicate much with other people. It must have been nice to have a friend who could help him. "You're so nice," Zac said suddenly. "Pardon?" "You really care about him even though you're just friends." Seth smiled hollowly. "You can put it like that." The two headed for the door and Seth walked in without knocking as if it was his own house. At first Zac hesitated as to whether this was Jeremiah's house too or not, or this was Seth's instead, but he didn't dare ask. Seth put his suitcase down and motioned for him to sit down, his voice lower, "I'll explain this work contract. After that you have to sign it once we reach an agreement." "Where's Jeremiah? He's not coming down?" Zac glanced to the second floor, right at the tightly closed room on the left. "There's no need to bother him. I've had enough myself." Seth spread the paper on the table and asked Zac to read. Slowly, Zac understood the contents of the contract. There aren't many rules written down, but it's emphasized that Zac can't find another Alpha without Jeremiah knowing. When the heat is near, Jeremiah will help Zac by supplying heat suppressants. Since Jeremiah can't mark him temporarily, Zac is allowed to find Alpha to mark him temporarily, the most important thing is that he has to stay away from Jeremiah so that the Alpha doesn't fall into a rut condition. The words 'temporarily mark' and 'rut condition' are italicized and bold. Zac doesn't mind that, he's used to suppressing his heat with inhibitors. If he happened to be with Alpha, he never wanted to be marked temporarily. After all, he rarely had śex with other people. The greasy old Alpha who used to rent him, usually only asked him to stay with him all night in the hotel room, even just doing light skinships. It can be said, Zac is still a virgin since three months he became a host. By the time he read his piece of work, he was taken aback. "I have to take care of the house?" Seth glanced at him. "Can you cook? Actually that's the most important thing." Zac lived alone after his parents died, he was forced to become an adult in an instant. To save money he usually cooks his own food, or eats bread and instant noodles. "I can cook some food." Zac wasn't lying. "That's good." The other terms of the contract were things Zac could understand and make sense of. So he didn't mind. Instead he felt that this was too easy for the high pay. And they didn't have to actually be married, which made Zac feel good. Seeing the high pay and easy work, Zac believes that this is the freedom he really wants. Just taking care of a big baby who is allergic to pheromones, it's no big deal. Instead he felt very lucky not to have to deal with that Alpha. Satisfied, he signed. Seth gathered the documents and said, "Your room is on the first floor. The second floor is for Remi only, you better not go upstairs and disturb him." "Ok." Zac answered with a smile. Seth glanced at him for a moment and hesitated a bit. "You really shouldn't bother and tease him, he could get sick." Zac felt that Seth was more like a parent than a friend of Jeremiah, he reassured. "You don't worry. I won't tease him anymore." After all, who wants to hear that bad word about the smell of his own pheromone and someone even dares to throw up because of that pheromone smell. Just annoying. Before Seth left, Zac handed him a check that he had filled in for the amount of money. After that he was alone in the house (except for Alpha who was sick on the second floor) and he was rolling around in his room in a daze. The room he occupies is quite spacious and has a bathroom in it, unlike his dirty and shabby apartment. This difference is striking. Even though it was said that Jeremiah wasn't the number one rich man in town, but he was still rich, this house couldn't be bought cheaply. Zac reread the copy of the contract and read the part that he had to clean the house and cook. It sounded like he was made a maid. But this maid were highly rewarded with high salaries. He laughed with satisfaction. Suddenly his phone rang and a message came in. It was from his boss at the nightclub. [Zac, what's this? You stopped working suddenly? Mr. Blake even said you paid off your father's debt! Did you just find a rich tycoon who gave all of his inheritance to you?] Reading the message, Zac could imagine his boss' angry expression. He looked at the incoming call log and his boss had been calling him a long time ago. Maybe when he was busy discussing the contract with Seth. Zac replied, [I'm sorry, Boss. I met rich Alpha and was taken away. I'll pay my debt to you too, ok.] The boss replied quickly, [This punk! Who cares about debt! Don't go with strangers! You were tricked!] Zac laughed but didn't reply. The boss is a young, middle-aged woman Omega. In the past, she was married, but her partner died, so she became a lifelong widow and lost her sense of smell for pheromones. She ran the business on his own strength in the midst of his solitude. Feeling that Zac almost has the same story in life as her, being an alone in this world, the Omega woman loves Zac very much, like thinking of him as her own son. But Zac felt like he couldn't depend on her all the time. As Zac thought of his Boss, he unconsciously fell asleep. The atmosphere in this room was so comfortable that it made his tired eyes heavy. Zac didn't know how long it would take, but he suddenly woke up to the sound of something falling outside. He woke up startled and ran from the room, dazedly thinking that there was a thief in his rundown apartment. When he fully awake, instead of looking at the thief, he saw a shirtless handsome Alpha staring sullenly at the pot of water that fell on the floor. "What are you doing?" Zac went over to him, and picked up the fallen pot. When he looked up he saw Jeremiah grinning at him like a pest while standing in the corner of the kitchen. Alpha's handsome face was pale and weak, but he still looked very sexy with the strong muscles of his bare upper body. Zac cleared his throat, averting his gaze. "You wanna eat?" Zac asked quietly. "If so, can you cook?" "I can." "But I don't want to eat your cooking," said Jeremiah firmly. "So forget the idea." Zac was furious and rushed over to Jeremiah, almost butting his chin because the Alpha was taller, but the Alpha quickly dodged. "Go away. Get away from me!" Jeremiah glared in disgust. Zac snorted. "I'm not releasing my pheromones, are you allergic to Omega's touch too? Seriously!" Zac is still unclear about Jeremiah's condition. If being touched is also a problem for this big Alpha, Zac will be very angry, this is clearly an insult. Right after Zac said his sentence, Jeremiah's eyes widened. He immediately covered his mouth, then crouched on the ground. And that Alpha really threw up. tbc.
