Danger Zone

After eating at the restaurant where Daime's sister works at, Mischka is still thinking about Daime's plan to the tavern near the outskirt town of Geneva. 

Even if Daime is not looking at the Omega sitting right beside him, he knows that he is worried about the plans that he have in mind. 

It hasn't been days since they met but they feel as if they have met a long time ago. It has the same feeling of a fated pair that Daime has been watching on television when he was still a kid. 

But that is impossible. 

Daime is pretty sure that when he met Aiden, his Alpha howls as if there is no tomorrow. But when he met Mischka, he feels different. He finds and sees the connection but there is still something that lies within there. 

It makes him want to pry Mischka open and dug deeper into his abyss to see what is that something. He sighs as he turns to the inner lane and speeds up the car to a shop where Drax works. 

Meeting his of of his cousins is never one of his agenda before he can even rebuild the tavern, but Drax works at a candy restaurant along the path to the tavern and he just has the urge to do so. 

He parks in front of the candy shop, lifting the hand break before stepping out of the car and grabs his wallet. Mischka looks at him from the corner of his eyes, following his every move as he enters the candy shop. 

"If this motherfucker buys me candies to calm me down, I will lose my mind."

Daime enters the candy shop as the bell tingles, welcoming a new customer coming in. The young Alpha sees his cousin, scrolling at his phone at the front counter.

He clears his throat as he looks away and scans the whole area of lollipops and jawbreakers. Drax immediately looks up when he hears that someone has entered the candy shop. 

The scent of pine trees and fresh mints invade his nose, making him covers his nose at how strong the scent is. He looks at the man in front of him and observes him from head to toe. 

He feels how powerful his energy is but the scent is blocking his natural scent, which makes him think that the scent he is sensing is coming from the man's mate. 

"How much for everything?"

Drax blinks his eyes and looks at the man, staring blankly at him while asking for the total amount of everything that he brought over to the counter. He looks down and almost jumps away at how much the man takes from the shelves. 

"Halloween is still far away, Sir. What the hell are you going to do with these? Cook pastries?"

Daime chuckles at his cousin's answer. He shakes his head and points at the car in front of the shop. Drax looks over and sees a person's silhouette from the inside of the car. 

He can't see clearly if it is from a man or a woman with short hair. Daime watches him as he furrows his brow before looking back to the young Alpha in front of him. 

"Your mate?"

Daime gives him a sweet smile and nods his head enthusiastically. The older Alpha only chuckles at how excited this young Alpha is, making him miss his other cousin who is nowhere to be found. 

"Well, I hope he enjoys these. Everything is a hundred and five Swiss Franc."

Daime nods at him and pays in cash. In the corner of Drax's eyes, he looks at the ID that is being presented inside the wallet. Seeing his surname, Drax frowns that it has the similar surname as Primo's old uncle who died because of a virus. 

He looks at the younger man and shakes his thought that maybe he is Primo's cousin. Letting the thought out of his mind, he puts the money from the cash register and gives the young Alpha his change.

"Here you go. Thanks for buying at this candy shop and hope to see you again. Take care!"

Daime waves him good bye, watching the young Alpha walking swiftly to his car as the passenger seat window rolls down, revealing blond hair. 

"Oh, my goodness! I can't believe you really bought me candies!"

Drax watches him chuckles as the Omega goes out of the car and hugs him tightly, grabbing the candies away from his hand and holds them securely at his arms.

"Why the fuck I see Daime in this Alpha? Am I still not moved on with his passing? Jeez!"

Drax grumbles under his breath as he walks away from the window when he smells something familiar on one of the trays of candies. He walks over to the shelf and sniffs each trays until he finds that familiar scent. 

Out of nowhere, a maroon wrist watch shows up from one of the candies that still have the lingering scent of Daime that he had missed since he died, many months ago.

He looks over at his latest customer and stares at him even more as the young Alpha looks back at his direction and smiles. A smile that only Daime can do. 

Seeing how similar that smile looks, the older Alpha stands up and runs out of the shop but the blue sports car that Daime is driving already speeds away from the shop. 

"No… Wait… It can't be…"

Mischka looks at Daime while eating the candies that he bought for him and smiles. He knows what he did and he is proud of it, even if Daime did it for the sake of making them remember that maybe, somewhere, Daime Santoro is still alive. 

An ulterior motive that only them knew. 

"Are you happy?"

Daime looks over to the Omega as he stops the car at the red light, making sure that the front boot does not crosses the pedestrian lane. 

"I will."

Mischka frowns at the Alpha's answer and asks him what he meant. Daime chuckles and looks at the Omega again before looking back to the road and presses the gas pedal. 

"If you becomes my Omega, I will be happy."

His answer made the Omega blushes and looks away from the Alpha, tapping his shoulder lightly and chuckles lowly. 

"Shut up. Of course, I will be happy to be your Omega even if you will just use me to get your past Omega to fall for you, again."

Daime frowns at his reaction but his motive is quite obvious even for him. He sighs as he leans back to his seat and drive slowly, not speaking a word before chuckling away. 

Mischka looks at him and frowns as to why he suddenly laughs. Was it because of his reaction? Isn't it quite obvious? Isn't that what he plans in the very beginning?

Daime parks at a corner, away from the towing zone before looking at Mischka. He clicks off his seat belt and leans side ward to Mischka, cupping his chin up and kisses him softly. 

"I was never a jerk in the past and will never be at this present. Especially when I find the perfect Omega for me. Yes, courting Aiden again with this new identity is my main purpose but that changed when I met you at that bar. 

Worst way to meet your fated pair but it will be worth it. Because I will not make the same mistake of sharing you with someone else. 

You are not Aiden and I am not Primo. Let's be Mikhail and Mischka."
