(proofread)

"Boss, I'm back." Kaownah said as he walked into Mew's study, the little dog waggled inside after him and sat himself down before the said boss. Mew looked up, his eyes stern and his gaze fixed on his 2nd in command.

"Good, let's go. They found the man who has tried to meddle with our business. Let's hear him out." Mew said with a dark look and a smirk on his face. As he stood up and buttoned his suit jacket he almost moaned. That smell, where did it come from? It was a sweet mix between cinnamon and apple and his Alpha inside perked up and became restless. He looked around and sniffed. He couldn't place it and didn't know where it came from.

"Do you smell that?" he asks.

"What smell. I don't smell anything." Kaownah said in confusion smelling the air and looked at his equally confused boss. He had never seen him act like this. Ever.

They had moved here with the gang over 6 months ago and this was the first time he saw the boss out of character. His usual demeanour cracked and a soft smile could be seen decorating his handsome face. What was happening? He blinked and tried to figure out what Mew was smelling that had him looking this way.

"Never mind, let go or I'll lose my will to torture that man."

"Right behind you sir," Kaownah said and walked after the boss once he had passed him out of his study. Mew pulled on his coat as Kaownah opened the front door to let Mew out and let him to the sleek shiny SUV and opened the car door to let him in. He walked swiftly to the driver's side once Mew was seated and started the car and drove off.

They were heading to one of the abandoned warehouses at the back of the little town. As they drove, Mew couldn't stop thinking about that amazing smell. He had never been that caught off-guard and it made him feel things he had never felt. Was this his mate's smell? He had never believed in something like fated pairs and he thought people were just exaggerating with the stories and how you would know by smell that someone was your mate. Now he was questioning those "made up stories." This smell was one of a kind and he had never smelled anything like this before and where did it come from? His alpha was very happy with the smell though and he wanted to know who that scent belonged to. Mew definitely knew no one of his subordinates was his mate because he knew them all and had never smelled this on them.

The smell had been inside his study once Kaownah had walked in with Chopper.

Maybe they had met someone?

He would ask later. His- mind was pondering away when they arrived and Kaownah opened the door. Mew was a little startled by all of this but masked his face quickly and got out of the car and buttoned his suit jacket back up.

Now it was time to do some business. Someone had been trying to take over some of his territories. He had to find out who it was, soon.

They walked into the dark and musky room and in the middle, there was seated a trembling beta, leaning forward, sitting on a chair, his head bent down. His body was shivering from the cold as he was soaking with water.

"So, this is the one we've been looking for?" Mew said with a sadistic laugh and the man flinched and tried to break free, but his hands were tied behind his back to the chair.

Mew laughed. "sorry, can't do, first..." Mew said in a stern voice and walked slowly over to the man in the middle of the room. He had taken his coat and suit jacket of and was now rolling up the sleeves of his crisp white blouse. Before he finished his sentence, he kicked the man's legs. "what were you trying?

The man kept silent.

Okay, maybe the man would need a little encouragement, Mew thought. He signalled Kaownah for his knife. When Kaownah brought it over he watched the man tremble under his gaze as the man watched the sharp knife in his hands. He swirled it around a few times before Mew stopped his movements and leaned into the man. The sharp blade of the knife scraped against the man's cheek.

"want to talk now?" Mew whispered close to his face. The man was darting his eyes around and kept his lips tightly sealed. The one who he was covering for must be one hell of a man if he tried to anger Mew.

His patience was running thin and a vein was starting to pop on his forehead. He swiftly handles the knife back and suddenly stabbed it hard into the man's thigh. A high shrill scream escaped the man's lips and it echoed throughout the building. The man trashed in the chair, the knife deeply stabbed in his upper leg.

"Speak!" Mew screamed and twisted the knife a little bit. He was a generous but stern boss. Don't anger Mew or you would really get in trouble. Kaownah didn't even flinch behind him he was just standing with his hands behind his back as if this was the most normal thing in the world.

The man was crying out from the pain and stuttered and mumbled nonsense and Mew twisted the knife once more. he needed answers.

"Okay, okay, I-I don't know his name! I only get orders from his men!!!! He'll kill me if you know about him!" the man cried out as Mew pulled the knife from his leg. The blood oozed out of his wound and dripped on the dirty ground below. Mew grabbed a handkerchief out of his pocket to clean the bloody knife and handed it back to Kaownah without saying a word.

"you're going to die either way. No one messes with me..." Mew growled with anger in his voice as he grabbed the man by his hair.

"Names...." Mew said, and the man started the ramble incoherently out a name. But Mew heard it.

"I-I only know this man! He ordered me! Please don't kill me!" The man cried and pleaded for his life before Mew kicked his knee hard into his face, his nose cracked and the man fell unconscious in his arms.

"Kaownah, get him out of here."

"Alive or dead."

"Your choice."

Mew walked away, putting his jacket and coat back on before he retreated out of the building. A heavy sigh left his lips as he stepped outside smelling the fresh air.

As he was getting his thought back together his phone rang.

"Talk." Mew said with a stern voice as he picked up.

"Hey, now not so angry, It's Tong!" are we still meeting tonight at the bar? I have some new information for you."

Mew sighted he so wanted to go home and sleep, the last few weeks had been hectic trying to figure out who was trying to sabotage him. But he also needed that information so he agreed to meet Tong tonight at the local bar here. It was a crowded place mostly so they wouldn't be noticed that easily. He had missed Tong; they had been friends for a very long time now and Tong was his handyman. He knew everyone and everything. He was also an Alpha but liked to stay in the background. Mew had asked him to come work for him but he had declined. He only said that he would want to work WITH him so that's what they were doing now. If one or the other needed a favour they would call each other.

He put his phone back as Kaownah walked out and closed the heavy door behind him.

"Done?" Mew asked and Kaownah nodded.

"Let's go."

Kaownah drove them back to the main mansion, Mew's house. As they were driving through the little town Mew's Alpha instinct perked up again. That smell! It was here again. Mew's eyes darted around out the window of the car and tried to look for the person with that amazing smell. The only thing he could see was the park and a lot of people out playing. Who was it? He almost ordered Kaownah to stop the car but they were driving too fast, he had his window rolled down to keep smelling that apple cinnamon smell he would most definitely get addicted to.

His mind was still lingering on that scent as they drove up the long driveway with the tall trees on each side of the big white mansion that appeared before them. It was closed off and could not be seen from the village and no one would come here and no one knew that a mansion like this was in the woods. That's why he loved this place, and the reason they moved here with the gang. It was easier to operate from here and no one would bother them. He had other houses and apartments over the whole world but he loved living here the most. He felt strangely connected to this place and he loved the woods. For the rest of the day, Mew's mind was somewhere else and before he knew they were heading to the bar already to meet up with Tong.

Mew entered the crowded bar, his senses heightened as an alpha and everyone in his way parted immediately with his strong aura.

Much for trying to be unnoticeable meeting Tong.

People were watching him as he headed to the back and saw Tong already seated in one of the booths. He stood up with a big smile to greet Mew.

Mew grinned, how could he not with a person always this cheerful. As they hugged, they sat down and ordered a drink. Tong immediately started the conversation. Mew was here alone this time without Kaownah following him. The information Tong had couldn't be heard by anyone other than himself. He didn't know who was planning to kill him and take over his business, so he didn't risk anyone hearing. He trusted Tong. How could he not they have been friends for almost their whole life? As they were talking and drinking, Tong told him some interesting things. The man that he had tortured earlier was a businessman who went bankrupt and had a lot of depts. The man who had ordered him had promised him big money if he completed the task, well he didn't complete it because his man had found him snooping around. Tong also told him what he already knew, the name of the man who had given him those orders. They were getting closer to who was actually behind this all. Someone was giving that man all the information, they had to find who was doing all of that.

Mew suddenly perked up. Tong looked at him questionably and watched Mew sniffing the air. That smell again! Mew watched the crowd. He hadn't smelled it before so it must be one who had just come in. His heart hammered against his chest as he felt his dick getting hard from the enticing scent. His body became hot and his alpha was pushing through and taking over his body, he needed to find that person. Now.

He suddenly stood up, excused himself to Tong and walked away, following the scent. His body had a mind of its own as the trail ended at the bathroom door.

Found it.

Gulf was enjoying himself in the bar with his friends, it had been ages since he had gone out and he was sipping on his beer as he talked to a pretty omega that he had been eyeing from the moment he walked into the bar. He hadn't seen her here before so he had walked up to her trying to score tonight. He was laughing with her as she batted her eyelashes at him.

Suddenly Gulf stiffened.

There it was, the same smell. It made him dizzy and his gaze fuzzy. Was his one glass of beer already taking effect? His omega inside was perking up again, there it was again! The same feeling. He couldn't focus on the story the pretty omega was telling as he tried to get more of the smell. His pupils dilated and his breath became heavy.

"are you alright?" the girl said as she touched his shoulder. Gulf flinched away. He didn't want her touch, he wanted the touch of the one with that amazing scent. He had to get away from here!

"I'm not feeling so good, I'm going to the toilet," Gulf said, and excused himself. What was happening to him! His body felt hot and he felt eyes on him. Was this his heat?! He wasn't expecting it for another week and he had been taking his suppressants regularly. Why didn't they work? What was this feeling, He didn't know this was what would happen He had never experienced anything like this. He darted through the crowd and pushed the door to the toilets open. He found an empty stall and locked himself up. His breath was coming out in short-pitched breaths as he tried to get air inside his lungs. His body trembled and his eyes watered. The smell was too much.

He felt something wet between his legs but he was so confused. What was this? He wanted nothing more than to find that smell. Have it on him. In him. Over him. He wanted to feel it everywhere. His painfully hard dick was straining against his jeans. His omega was coming out and taking over control. He had to leave this place. He was desperately clawing against his clothed chest and his knees almost gave out. Come on you can do it! Go back home, take those pills. It's going to be alright.

As his trembling fingers unlocked the door, his body was suddenly slammed against the wall, a big hard body covered him. The intoxicating sandalwood scent was back and all over him now. His omega went crazy and Gulf moaned and shivered under the man's touch. His head fell back against the wall as the man licked and kissed his scent gland on his neck over and over again. He couldn't do anything as the man took control of his body.

"found you."

"no, stop... mmm. Who are you?" Gulf moaned and tried to resist but his body was weak and his omega wasn't helping, it wanted out, it wanted this man.

"The name is Mew, and I'll have you screaming my name all night long..." Mew whispered against Gulfs sensitive neck and kissed his way up his jaw. Gulf wanted that, he wanted this man all over him.

"you smell so good, all mine." Mew groaned out and took Gulf jaw between his fingers and pulled his face down and their eyes locked, they knew. Hot shivers passed through their bodies and sparkled felt all over.

Gulf whimpered as he watched those chocolate eyes. His heart skipped a beat at the handsome man before him. The man with the oh so intoxicating smell. Was this what they called a fated pair? He didn't know. His omega side went wild as Mew once again kissed his scent gland and let his scent penetrate his body. Gulf had wrapped his arms around the man's neck not resisting anymore. He didn't have the power or will to fight him. He wanted Mew. He moaned as Mew kissed up his jaw and finally kissed his lips softly at first, before roughly taking his bottom lips between his teeth and biting down. Gulf gasped and opened his mouth for Mew to enter his tongue and sucked it in. Gulf moaned into the kiss and let Mew devour his mouth. Teeth clashing, lips bruising and tongues swirling around each other. Gulf had never kissed anyone like this before and his knees buckled.

Mew grinded his rock-hard cock against Gulf and gripped his hips hard before he looked at Gulf and whispered in his ear.

"Let's go to my place."

Gulf moaned and wanted nothing more than do just that and he let Mew take him in his arms before he pulled him out the back entrance of the bar.
