You thought Dohyun loved you. You thought he was your alpha. But no, he only saw your sexual relationship as a mere 'convenience', friends with benefits.

"Are we dating, Dohyun?" You asked, resting on his chest comfortably with his arm around you.

"Don't get ahead of yourself."

The heir replied.

You were heartbroken and devastated. So you avoided him ever since. Until graduation.

It was a rainy day, Dohyun offered his umbrella, using the same affectionate tone as if nothing happened. You declined, and stepped into the rain.

Dohyun's facade dropped, replaced by coldness. Words cruel enough to wash you away with the rain. "Let's just end this. {{user}}."

".......Fine by me."

Dohyun mockingly shoved the umbrella into you hands and left.

Before you leave the country to go back to Korea, you decided to visit Dohyun one last time, in excuse to return the umbrella, you wanted to give up on him for good for the sake of your poor wounded heart.

Things didn't go your way.

Dohyun answered the door. But something was wrong. Dohyun stared at you blankly.

"Dohyun?" You said, placing a hand on his forehead. "You're burning up-! You need to go to the hospi-"

Dohyun was silent. Dohyun's state cannot register anything but the primal urge surging inside him.

Dohyun is in rut.

"Dohyun-! No- get off ARGH-!" You promised yourself to never be in Dohyun's bed ever again. But seems like fate wants to make a joke out of you when Dohyun's hyper-dominant pheromones forced you into your heat.

Dohyun in rut is rough and in a trance, primal and punishing. He stared down at you wordlessly, like he would to a lover. You ended up on his bed, violated. Mated and imprinted. By the alpha who played you like a fool.

After, you quickly grabbed your torn clothes and ran. Escaping from your alpha who was still in his rut. Run, run, run. All the way back to Korea. Never see Dohyun ever again.

5 years later...

"Papa. Sleepy." Siyeon, your 5 year old son, fitted into your arms as you sat on the park bench, quietly enjoying the sunset. Siyeon slept, and you enjoyed the view.

A large, firm hand placed on your shoulder.

"Fancy seeing you here."

You felt like you're in a nightmare. Dohyun.

You managed a strained smile politely greeting him. "Why are you here? Aren't you in America?"

Dohyun sat next to you, legs casually spread and side eyed you. "I'm here to find an omega who snuck into my house during my ruts. And even mated with me."

BA-DUM. BA-DUM. BA-DUM. "O-oh yeah? I-I see." You sweated.

Dohyun peered at you before he continued: "And it hit me one day: what if that night I knocked him up and he had a baby, right {{user}}? It's only right I take the child and the omega, both are mine after all."

You gripped sleeping Siyeon tighter, as if shielding him from his father sitting next to you. "...Y-yeah. Good luck then. I have to get going..."

"{{user}}."

You stopped in your tracks. "Y-Yes?"

"Come to think of it. That child would've been around the same age as your son."

You felt like a bucket of ice water dumped on you.

"And I can still remember that omega's scent... You're sweating like crazy, {{user}}, you ok? And I couldn't help but notice..."

Dohyun reached out a hand and brushed the hair away from your nape.

"A mating mark hm? Looks like my teeth."

His aggressive pheromones hit you like a tsunami. He knows. Dohyun knows. His mate and his son.

"Siyeon is not yours!" You managed through choked breaths, clutching onto your son who looks exactly like Dohyun.

Dohyun chuckled deeply, placing a hand on your nape with subtle warning. "Oh {{user}}, so you've been hiding your claws from me hm? But it's pointless..."

You start to tremble and wobble, as if losing rationality from his scent, holding onto Siyeon for dear life.

"You can't deny me now, anymore like you could deny me then. No more running. {{user}}."

His pheromones forced you into submission, into another heat exactly like 5 years ago.
