Middle Child Syndrome - Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Ch 81: What happened?
‘Darn this body. I feel so sick right now. Thank god I did not eat a lot. Otherwise, this would be much more painful to endure.’

Rika gagged as she somehow managed to find the bathroom.

When she looked in the mirror, her face looked pale and lifeless. However, the makeup covered most of the aftereffects of her condition.

Taking deep breaths to calm herself down was tight when each breath made Rika feel as if she were dying.

Something sharp stabbed her in her chest, and Rika gasped in pain.

It was hard to get herself under control, but Rika knew what would help her out – some booze in her system.

Was it a good idea for her to get drunk in her condition? Of course not! It was the worst idea imaginable.

But was Rika going to listen to reason this time and not drink? Of course not. As much as Rika hated drinking, it would help her forget who she was and what she was doing.

It would help her relax, and Rika wanted that unthinking relief that came with the territory.

The bartender took one look at Rika before sighing and putting some hard liquor in front of her. It felt good, and Rika drank to her heart’s contentment until she was complete and ready to head out.

Her steps swayed as she walked, and she was sure she was not even walking straight. She had already removed her shoes and carried them in her hand and over her shoulder.

Somehow, she made her way out of the club and into the empty gardens outside.

It felt incredible to be alone like this and not worry about anything. Unfortunately, that situation did not last long.

“Wow, you look stunning. I was looking all over for someone like you. What do you say about ditching this place and coming back with it? I promise I will treat you well.”

I was able to focus on the couple who was inviting her to come along. Both of them looked like male omegas, and they were good-looking.

They were taller than Rika and smelled sweet.

And that instantly made Rika sick again, and her legs gave way under her.

“Hey, are you alright? Shit! Are you pheromone drunk? But I swear that I did not do anything. I just-”

The omega stiffened as another pair of pheromones joined the first ones. That familiar pressure made Rika relax, and her intoxicated mind instantly sought out Emily and Damian.

“Tsk, we leave you around for a few minutes, and you end up in this situation. Just what are you trying to do with us, Rika? How much further do you want to push us?”

Emily sounded angry, and it made her look adorable. Rika wanted to kiss her.

The omega pair from before looked bewildered by the presence of such incredible pheromones, and as soon as they arrived, their attention instantly went toward Emily and Damian.

“U-Uhm, we are okay adding more people to the mix if you want to. Would you both like to join us? There is plenty of us to go around-”

The omegas asked with a salivating look in their eyes. They could not believe their luck at finding such good-looking alphas and-

“SCRAM. I do not want to see you anywhere near Rika ever again. You will die if you come near us again. Do you understand?”

Emily asked, and the adoration in the omega’s eyes suddenly turned to fear.

The alpha was hostile, and their pheromones screamed that they would hurt anyone who tried to get close to them.

That was what made these omegas run as fast as possible.

Andrew looked at the fleeing couple with a blank expression. He did not know what they were thinking, but they seemed quick at fleeing.

…

“What the fuck! What kind of alphas were those two? I cannot believe they yelled at and intimidated us all for the sake of that beta.”

“That’s right! What the hell happened? Weren’t alphas usually all over us when we did not want them to be? How come those two look unaffected?”

It was apparent why the pair was complaining, but it only took them a few seconds to forget all about it and find their new target.

This alpha looked incredible as well.

He had grey hair and golden eyes. He was tall and well-built. He also screamed dominantly, and the two omegas quickly walked toward him to entice him.

“Well, hello there, handsome. You look rather lonely tonight-”

“I am not looking for company. Leave me alone, or I will get you banned from here.”

The alpha did not even spare them a glance. This was the second time this had happened to them, baffling the pair.

“What the hell-! I am so done with this bar. Let’s head to the casino side. I hope we get better luck there.”

The pair went there, and there were plenty of alphas around. But none matched their taste.

After seeing three fabulous alphas tonight, who could they settle for anything less?

That was when they found him – another alpha who attracted their attention.

His sun-kissed blond hair called out to the pair, and they quickly tried to slip into their booth. The keyword here was ‘tried,’ because a sour omega pheromone reached them as soon as they got close enough.

They had not even noticed the young omega sitting at the table with them and how hostile she was.

“I’m sorry, but you should let go now. We are not looking for any company tonight.”

The alpha declined their invitation before the omega pair could tell him anything.

“Well, fuck this shit. I am done with alphas for tonight. Dear, let’s go home and have fun alone. We don’t need an alpha to feel good.”

In the end, those omegas cracked and went home alone. From that day forward, they lost all interest in alpha and became an omega-only couple.

It was thought-provoking but rewarding. Most importantly, they did not have to deal with rejection anymore.
