After he experienced the most painful and unbearable rut he had for years, Primo is determine to get back on his feet and joins every program that the rehab center has to offer.

He walks around the facility with his newfound friend, Albert, who also went feral upon meeting his mate the very first time and need to be put down because the latter had bad experiences with feral Alphas.

They had been looking around, searching for a new spot where they could talk things about their lives what they should do to court their Omegas so they can mate for life, when Albert spots a woman crying in the corner while holding a spoon.

The other Alpha is about to go to her aid when Primo stops him and carefully points at one of the Omegas approaching the woman. The latter crouches down to the ground and releases calming pheromones to calm the woman down as the nurses rush to her aid.

"Omegas are awesome, do you know that? They can use their pheromones to calm any dynamics as long as they are calm themselves."

Primo looks at his newfound friend and couldn't agree more. The familiar scent of vanilla invades his nose and he needs to look away and coughs the scent out of his system. Albert looks at him and asks if the Alpha is okay.

The Alpha shows him an "ok" sign and furiously shakes his head. Trying to forget who the vanilla scent belongs to since he doesn't have the right to think about his right now.

Not in this situation and condition that he is in. According to his doctor, Primo can still go feral any moment. It also became the reason that's why he can't meet his Omega even if the latter visits him.

Primo did not let this reasoning ruins his chances of meeting his life mate and agrees with the doctor's plan of making his mate closer to him using the things they value the most.

Something where their scent can glued on and be transferred to their mates; like perfumes, clothing and whatnot. The two Alphas watch the scene in front of them and slowly walks away from it.

Still searching for that perfect spot to talk about things and how their plans had been working towards their favor. Minutes of walking later, Albert spots a place where they can sit, eat and talk then drags Primo towards the place.

Upon seeing the place, the older Alpha exclaims in excitement and sits beside Albert and flops his head on the table, grazing his scent on it to mark it as theirs.

The two look at each other and chuckle. They look like kids or even idiots trying to claim something they did not bought.

"We sound like thieves at this point."

"Blah! Who cares? This spot is ours now."

Primo chuckles at Albert's antics as he sighs at how peaceful his life had become after moving away from the Santoros. Thinking about this now, this is what Daime must've felt when he was away for a long time.

He should've known, or he might've already went away from the family and lived on his own by the mountains, where he could be free and no one will bother him with his mate.

Speaking of mate, Drax already talked to him about Aiden and the Alpha said his sorry to the Omega. But Aiden can't still forgive him for everything and Primo understands that.

He even promised Aiden that he will change to become a better Alpha for his soon-to-be Omega and the latter is happy to hear that. After their engaging talks, Primo had received a package from an unknown person with initials, N.A.O.

The Alpha frowned when he saw the name but eventually opened the package and to his surprise, the clothe inside the box smelled like the man who he called mate back in the hospital.

He immediately took the piece of clothing and sniffed the scent out of it, making sure that nothing will be left behind on the clothing itself. It took him three days of sniffing before the clothing lost his scent.

And it was a good thing that his rut was slowly fading before the cloth lost its scent. He sighs upon remembering what its like to be in his severe rut and continues pounding on the his door that the staff needs to replaced it with a metallic door.

Albert looks at his friend and ruffles his hair, making the Alpha frown and looks at his friend.

"What?"

Albert chuckles as he gets something from his pocket and pushes it towards Primo. The Alpha looks at it and laughs at his object jokes.

"You are frowning and sighing again. Are you still thinking about him?"

Primo thinks for a minute before nodding. Albert heaves a deep sigh and pats his friend. He, himself, had always been missing his Omega since their last meeting. His Omega looks good and he is eating healthy.

And when the Alpha is out of the rehabilitation center, he will be ready for him. It made the Alpha happy and sad at the same time since Primo will stay here even after he goes out.

"How many more months for you, buddy?"

The Alpha looks at him and thinks for a moment.

"I think seven? Yeah, seven more months."

The other Alpha sighs upon hearing his answer. Albert has only two months of stay inside the rehabilitation center and he is excited to go out. But it is also saddening that he will leave his friend behind for more care.

"Don't worry about me too much, Al. I will be fine. I will miss you, though."

Albert shows a slight hint of blushes on his cheeks and slaps Primo's shoulder away, making the other Alpha laughs at his remarks.

"Promise me, though. That you will take care of your mate once you go out of this facility."

"Of course, I will. This is my second chance of proving myself to him. Of course, I will take good care of him."

Albert nods at his friend and continues to talk about random things. Break is almost over and the two had soon stood up from their spot and walks back to their floor.

Upon talking about asking for scent blockers, Primo bumps into someone and apologizes immediately, the other person only bows back and runs away from them, making the two frowns beyond oblivion.

"What's wrong with that person? Why did he ran away?"

Primo doesn't know the answer. They shrug what happened and walk towards their room before greeting the nurses that serve them when they need something. Primo bids his farewell to his friend and closes his own door and gasps loudly.

"That is him. He is here."

Finally, after days of suffering and missing his mate, Primo can conclude that yes, his mate is inside this building. With this information at hand, the Alpha feels more giddy being part of any activities here as long as he will see his mate everyday.
