"Louis Tomlinson, Dr. Kennedy can see you now." Louis gets up with nervousness flooding in his system.

Every 4 or 5 days before his heat, he has to come to the hospital to hear the same words as always. Words he learned to ignore almost perfectly.

"Louis, we don't know if this is your last heat. I need you to spend it with someone." Louis sighs.

How many times must he hear that same phrase?

"What would change if I spend my heat with someone? What is the change?" His arms crossed over him.

"It would change a lot. As an alpha, in your heat your knot needs to expand, in your case that knot isn't being made. It's not even forming, the pain in a heat shouldn't be as strong as the one you're going through," the doctor Kennedy removes his glasses, he will repeat the necessary occasions for his 'star client' to understand, "your fangs come out more pointed, with more desire to bury them somewhere. You need an omega, who lubricates and can bear your brand."

"I don't want to mark any omega, I don't want any omega in general."

"Okay, you don't have to mark it. But Your Fangs have to bury themselves in something," he taps her fingers on the table thoughtfully, "it could be somewhere other than the neck, near the zone, just not so near so that it doesn't create a bond."

"Are you saying that I can bite someone without creating a bond?"

"That's right. Don't touch the area where the bite usually goes and he or she will be fine. You tell me you don't want an omega," Louis shakes his head, "it's necessary if you want to heal and have normal heats. The omega secretes a lubricant that, even if you don't know it, helps the knot to form, that's precisely why you need an omega. He or She will receive your knot as normal."

"And so would my suffering end?" The doctor denies.

"Of course not, it's not that easy. Every time you have your heat you must spend it with that omega, specifically, the same omega until your knot stops hurting like it does," he clears his throat, "since your knot hasn't exploded in such long time, it will be very difficult for it to do it when you have sex, it's going to hurt a lot and when I say a lot, it's a lot. But it's what's necessary for you to get better."

"I- I don't," he looks down from him, "I'm not going to spend my heat with any omega." Kennedy tries to speak but Louis interrupts him, "I don't like omegas, they disgust me. The only omegas I can stand are my mother, Granny Yaya, my son's omega and now I'm trying to be close to Mia."

"Who is Mia?"

"She's Harry's sister, the alpha that I'm truly in love with," Kennedy raises an eyebrow, "if I spend my heat it would be with him, not with any kind of omega."

"You can't, not for now at least. The alpha is not going to heal you, you need the lube of an omega and explode your knot inside."

Louis sighs and suddenly remembers, "Harry's an alpha that lubricates."

"What are you saying?" The doctor straightens up in his seat.

"He'll be able to receive my knot," Louis fiddles with his hands in the nerves that suddenly fill him.

"What did you say this alpha's name was?" Louis frowns.

"Harry Styles."

"Oh, the lubricating alpha case." Kennedy laughs, "You're lucky, boy. That boy was here a long time ago, he came with his grandmother." Louis straightens, "are you going to use him to heal yourself?"

"Use him? No! Of course I won't," Louis snarls, "Harry is my destined alpha."

"Your destined alpha?" Kennedy sighs before starting to type on his computer, when he finds what he needs he looks at the blue-eyed alpha, "Harry Styles, the alpha that lubricates, can carry a mark and puppies. You know, I always believed a lot in destiny," Louis raises his eyebrows in confusion about what the doctor meant by that, "I never believed that what alpha Styles has was a disease, for me it was always a gift that mother moon gave him. And now I understand why."

"What does it mean?"

"Everything has a purpose in this life, Mr. Tomlinson, you need a person who has the ability to lubricate and receive a mark. Someone who can bear the pain, because I assure you, sir, the person who spends this heat with you will have a lot of pain."

"Pain?" No, he doesn't want that for his alpha.

Now with more reason he will spend his heat alone.

"That's right, but it will be worth it. Mr. Styles, being your destined alpha, will help your healing go much faster. The alpha has the ability to take a mark and that means you can bite him elsewhere in the body," Kennedy writes something down on a piece of paper and hands it over to him, "here is the medication that the alpha must use after each session until the heat is over. This medication will help him with the pain that he will surely feel all over his body. Your body will relax more when your fangs pierce his skin."

Louis was lost as he looked at the medicine.

"I- I."

"Mr. Tomlinson, it's time for you to spend your heat with someone, and having your destined alpha is a gift from mother moon. We don't want anything bad to happen to you, please take my advice. Before you leave, you need to know that you can't use a condom, you need the lube to come in contact with you." Louis nods and leaves the office, confused.

He doesn't know what to do, he doesn't know what he's doing. He stops at the first pharmacy that he finds and buys many packages of those medicines that the doctor prescribed for him, the surprised look of the salesman does not leave his face.

He goes to his flat, he leaves the pills in one of his drawers along with some pills for the day after.

He goes into his bathroom to take a shower. His thoughts are attacking him and his insecurities are consuming him.

He doesn't know what to do, he needs his alpha but his fear doesn't let him ask for help.

🍀🍀🍀🍀

Niall was pacing up and down Louis's office, listening to what the doctor had told his friend. Zayn was sitting there thinking while Liam just wanted to smack his friend for being so stubborn.

Louis was talking pure stupidity, Liam was fed up. But he gets it, he knows that his past is the reason for his present, and he can't force one of his best friends to do something he can't.

"So Harry can help you?" Louis nods, Niall claps, "that's great Louis, your destined alpha is the solution to the fucking problem. The doctor is right, everything has a purpose in life," Louis starts to shake his head, "no? No, what? No what, Louis? Don't give me that shit about spending your heat alone again. You'll have it in a few hours."

"I can't ask Harry to help me with it, Niall. The doctor said he was going to hurt a lot, I don't want to make him suffer." He covers his face with his hands, "I have to go to my flat, Tom will stay with Dylan these three days."

"Call Harry, Louis." It's all Zayn says.

"I can't do it, I can't. I'm not going to make him."

"You wouldn't be forcing him to do anything, get that out of your head. Louis, Harry loves you, he'll help you."

"I don't- I," he snorts at him, "can't do that to him."

Niall snorts. How the fuck can he make Louis understand? He can't handle this, he doesn't want to lose his best friend.

Louis gets up from his chair with an excruciating headache, "I need- I need to get to my flat." Liam gets up quickly and barely manages to catch his best friend, who falls to his knees.

"Louis, your heat is six hours away, right? What's happening?"

"Damn, it's happening right now. AHH!" His blue eyes fill with tears from the pain. His body, his breathing, everything hurts unbearably, "this- this hurts," he sobs, "I- need."

"Your alpha! That's what you need!" Niall was starting to get desperate, it won't happen this time. Louis will not go through another heat alone, period. "Zayn, Liam take Louis to his flat, I'll fix the rest of things."

Louis started to shake his head as he tried to get up, his vision blurring as the pain worsened... And he was just starting it all off, "no- Niall, no. Please, Niall."

"Forgive me, Louis," he says before leaving the office, he runs to his car and starts it up.

Louis was crying as he was taken out of the building, some workers looking at him with worried eyes. Shawn and Megan tried to bring order by sending people to work. Zayn left Shawn in charge of T.T Company until he could come back.

🍀🍀🍀🍀

Niall stops the car in front of the flower shop, he had saved the address of the place from his boss's computer the day Harry went to check the security cameras.

He gets out of the car quickly, runs to the flower shop. He desperately enters, "HARRY!" The curly alpha comes out of a doorway carrying a flowerpot.

"Niall?" Harry sets the pot down on the counter, "hey, I- I," he clears his throat. He hasn't had the courage to talk to Louis's friends yet.

"It's okay buddy, but I need you." Harry frowns.

"Sure, what do you need?"

"Louis went into heat," Harry's eyebrows rise in surprise, "I know Louis told you that his heat was hard, but with how well I know him I know he didn't tell you the whole truth."

"What are you talking about?" Harry was now confused and worried. His wolf was anxious.

"Louis's heats are the worst, they hurt too much and his knot doesn't explode. He hasn't spent his heat with someone for years, it's killing him little by little. Louis needs you."

"I- I." Harry plays with his hands.

"I want Louis alive and the only way is for him to spend his heat with someone, you are his destined one," Harry's cheeks colour, "please, I know you barely shared your secrets and feelings, but Louis needs you. He's so stubborn, he wasn't even going to tell you."

"Where is he?"

"Zayn and Liam are taking him to his flat, the doctor has told him many times to spend his heat with someone. Harry, we don't know if this will be his last heat."

Harry's wolf whimpers in pain.

My wolfie.

"Please help him. You're his only way out," Niall swallows, "but I don't want to make you," Harry bites his lip, "I want you to do it because you want to help him, not because I'm asking you to."

"I want to," Harry decides, "my alpha needs me but why me? An omega can-"

Niall interrupts, "Louis doesn't want any omega, he wants you."

Harry has red cheeks, but the decision is already made. Louis is his alpha and right now he needs him.

He is going to relieve his alpha, he is going to help him and he is going to let himself be knotted up.

🍀🍀🍀🍀

Harry and Niall were driving to Louis's flat. The blond alpha was explaining everything, what Louis has been through and what will happen to him when they are together. Harry bit his lip, he was anxious and fearful at the same time.

Will he hurt a lot?

For Louis he puts up with anything.

"Thank you for helping him, you are our angel, Harry." Niall couldn't stop smiling, "we're here. Please, no matter what he says, convince him." Harry nods.

"I'll do whatever he allows me to, if he doesn't want to, I won't force him."

The curly alpha gets out of the car with his hands shaking, he hasn't been with anyone in his life, this would be his first time.

He is in love with Louis, for that reason he did not hesitate to give his virginity to the alpha, to give him his heart.

He will help his alpha, he will always be with him.

My alpha needs us.

He walks into the flat, the piercing scream in the background bringing tears to his eyes. Louis is suffering a lot.

Liam is the one who takes him to the room, Zayn opens the door for him and his chest hurts when he sees the scene.

Louis was in his underwear, curled up on the bed while he cried uncontrollably, his skin sweaty and red. Several marks scattered along his arm, all caused by his own fangs.

Harry's scent reaches Louis and he looks up, "a-alpha," he finds it hard to speak, "n-no, Harry, go."

Harry asks Zayn and Liam to leave, telling them that he'll take care of everything. Louis cried as he shook his head and the pain increased. His body was on fire, the scent of him so strong that Harry felt dizzy from just being in the room for a second or two.

"Shh, shh... Your alpha is here," Harry strips all of his clothes off of him until he's down to his underwear, "alpha, please let me help you. I want to help you." Delicately, the green-eyed climbed on the bed but kept a short distance from his alpha, "let me help you, I want to help you." He says in a whisper as he moves closer.

"Ha-Harry, no. It's going to hurt. Please." Louis shakes his head.

"My beautiful alpha, always watching over me. Now it's my turn. I'll be fine, love, you need me. Don't be stubborn." Harry gets a soft nod from Louis so he climbs onto his lap and begins to sway his hips as the scent of his chocolate wafts through the room. "I'm here for you." Louis had his eyes closed, feeling a little bit of relief.

"It hurts- it hurts so bad," his voice cracks.

"I know love, I know." He continues to rock his hips, "here I am alpha, here I am to ease your pain." Louis nods, accepting that that is what he needs. His body and his wolf demand it.

Harry initiates the kiss.

NOTE: Oh God, I don't think I have ever translated such a sad heat... I had tears in my eyes as I was translating it. Also, I made small changes from the origins story in this chapter. I have the full permission of the author and it doesn't change the meaning of the chapter or the course of the story, it just makes it a little more... sentimental? I don't know, I felt like it needed this.
