I know, I'm sorry that these updates are all so scarce but I'm trying to update and finish off my other books (which I am having a problem with) and I'm putting a lot of my books on hold for the meantime, but this is not one of them. This is simply just a book that has scarce updates for the meantime and with progressively getting long updates.

I'm telling you, I have a lot planned for this book and it's not being deleted.

Please shower this book with some comments (:

Safe to say, Zayn doesn't make the best of decisions whenever he's angry with his girlfriend - friend? He's not all that sure what to call the relation between himself and Gigi - and just wants to clear his head of all thoughts. It doesn't help matters whenever an omega - that started off as a simple patient - is sat in front of you, wearing the jacket they stole from you, looking all sad which strangely enough made Zayn sad.

Zayn isn't sure why Louis has such an affect on him, the omega is nothing different from every other omega that stalks the earth. He's small, curvy and has a sharp tongue that Zayn should find unattractive for an omega, but he just can't seem to be able to. The first time he met Louis, he was just another omega that had overdoes himself on suppressants - surely to kill himself - that Zayn wanted to get rid of, now, he doesn't want to leave him alone.

Louis needs protected, and goddamnit, Zayn wants to be the one that protects him. He wants to wrap the omega up in bubble wrap and shower him with kisses and hugs, hold him close during thunderstorms and watch stupid day time television with him on his days off. He wants to rub his stomach when he's sick, and kiss him everytime he cries. For the time he has known Gigi, Zayn has never felt that way towards her. Ever.

So, in a fit of confusion and anger with himself and Gigi, and a little bit of Louis because the damn omega won't leave his mind. Zayn ends up not going back to Gigi's apartment that night to fix things between them, nor does he head back into work like he actually would rather have done than spend the night with Gigi, he heads off to the nearest bar and drinks.

Even alphas - unfortunately enough - suffer from extreme hangovers - although alphas can hold their alcohol better than both Betas and Omegas, giving them the advantage of drinking more -, ones that make you want to slam your head between a car door because it would hurt less than the pain in his head, or one that you're forcing yourself to drink a Bloody Mary at 6am because you have work in an hour and you feel like you're dying.

"Good morning, Doctor Malik."A young beta nurse is greeting the Alpha doctor as he stalks the hospital floors, a pair of sunglasses - that probably cost more than his paycheck - on the bridge of his nose to block out the bright hospital lights and a large black coffee in his hands as he walks. He has a new hospital jacket - since Louis stole his and won't give him it back - draped over one arm.

"Morning."Zayn nods, hiding the grimace of pain with a long sip of his coffee. He wishes he took the following day of, he never gets a break from work, and as much as the pay is good and alphas don't need as much rest as a beta or an omega, it didn't mean he didn't deserve a break.

"Doctor Malik."A Doctor approaches whenever Zayn is in the staff room on the certain floor, pulling out his own personal mug - that Liam had bought him whenever he got his degree that says 'Worlds Best Doctor!' In navy blue with golden animated stars - to make another cup of coffee. Lucky enough, there were no surgeries that were scheduled today, unless of course there is an emergency one in that case, Zayn will probably fuck it up.

"Doctor Murdock."Zayn greats in the same professional and polite manner that he has to keep up in order to keep his job. It's not as if he'll get fired, Zayn is pretty sure as long as he doesn't abort an possible Omega children nor kill any omegas, he can do whatever the fuck he wants in his profession and not get the sack."Do you need my assistance in anything?"

"I wanted to inform you that those test results you had sent up to the lab a fortnight ago have came back, I have them here for you."He informs Zayn. Fair play to the Doctor, for being in his mid fifties and still being able to keep a job without being pushed out by a new flock of Alpha doctors. Doctor Murdock is probably one of the only doctors in the hospital that Zayn doesn't dislike, mostly because he stays out of Doctor Maliks way.

"For Lo- the Unknown Omega?"He corrects himself quickly.

"Yes, him. What a difficult patient he was."Doctor Murdock shakes his head, looking at the label on the file."Lord help the alpha that is stuck with him, they deserve a medal if they have an omega running off like that."

"Maybe he had a reason, Doctor Murdock."Zayn starts, pouring the hot water into the mug. There's a strange feeling washing through Zayns body at Doctor Murdocks tone towards Louis, and even the mention of him having an alpha makes Zayns grip on the kettle harden."The omega was unmated, it makes sense for one to run away with the troubles of the world."

"You have a point, Doctor Malik."He agrees with a nod of the head."These snatches are getting worse, I feel the need to keep my Joanne on lockdown in our home so that there is no harm done to her."

"Yeah,"Zayn nods, not understanding that type of pressure. He's not as protective of Gigi as he should be, it makes him seem like a bad alpha but really, he didn't care what people thought or what Gigi was up to."Anyway, thank for the file. I've been meaning to request for them, damn nerds take forever."

"You Gotta give them credit, kid. They do a good a job."Which was true, without the guys and girls up in the lab, analysing blood and DNA samples and tests, nothing around here would be done. They were their only way of getting Identifications and finding out what the drugs - assuming they took drugs - have effected their body. With that, Doctor Murdock sets the light brown colours file on the counter beside Zayns mug, leaving with a pat on the younger alphas shoulder.

Finding a vacant office - one that isn't hoarded with boxes filled with files or with men in their seventies playing solitaire and surely doing illegal drugs on hospital grounds -, Zayn dims the lights enough that he's able to take off his sunglasses without getting a blinding headache, moving to close the blinds and throw himself in the soft desk chair, cradling his mug of coffee to his chest.

Zayn can't help but to wonder what Louis is up to right now, maybe he's still sleeping in one of the vacant bedrooms in Anne's Omega house, or maybe he's curled up reading a book with a mug of Tea that he brewed himself after sneaking around the dark. There's a small smile that graces Zayns lips as he thinks of Louis, drowning in Zayns jacket and reading a book with his glasses falling down his nose.

"Fuck,"Zayn shakes his head immediately, ridding himself from those blissful thoughts because he should not be thinking like that about another Omega. He has Gigi, Gigi is all he needs and he just needs to grow a fucking knot and ask her to be his omega, his and only his. It shouldn't be that hard, alphas have done this for centuries but there's just this nagging little voice in the back of Zayns head telling him not to, that Gigi isn't the right omega for him.

The alpha doctor is aware that he can't be picky, omegas are running scarce and the ones that he is on friendly bases with are all mated with an alpha or are too young to mate. The other omegas he knows of are either mentally scarred from last Alpha experiences and as much as Zayn hates to admit, he doesn't want to deal with that.

He's better off mating with Gigi than dying off.

Zayns eyes fall on the light brown folder he had thrown onto the desk, setting down his mug of coffee as he reaches for the light folder. It didn't hold a lot, a couple of sheets of paper that had Louis' - or as documented 'The Unknown Omega' - documented stay at the hospital, his blood pressure, what was found in his system, the type of suppressant and of course the new information on the damage the suppressants have done to the omegas body.

It's extremely not good

"Fuck,"Zayn finds himself repeating, his bottom lip caught between his perfect white teeth and his golden brown eyes continuously scanning over the word that has been printed out in bold, black ink. It's something that no omega wants to hear, and just as bad, an alpha who has an attraction to a certain omega.

Infertile

Zayn catches himself staring at the word, his head swimming with a thousand different thoughts. Over the many years that Zayn has been a doctor, he has had to tell many omegas the news of being unable to bare pups, to have their own nest with the alpha they love, and he has had to watch with no emotion as they cried in front of him and have their alpha scream in his fa that it was apparently Doctor Zayns fault.

But he can't tell Louis, he can't bring himself to tell Louis the devastating news. Zayn doesn't want to see the same sadness washed up onto Louis' beautiful face, to witness him and not be able to do a thing about it. Zayn has a need to protect the small omega, to hold him close and allow no harm to come to him no matter how many times he protests.

Jumping out of his thoughts, Zayn rips his eyes away from the sheet of paper, forcing himself to putting the file back down onto the desk and taking a deep breath. Louis is no different from any other patient, he will be able to tell him the news without cracking an emotion and leave without any guilt or sadness,

"Zayns phone?"Zayn answers whenever his mobile rings, pinching the bridge of his nose and squeezing his eyes close in a sort of pain whenever he hears Liams familiar voice shouting at someone else, not aware that Zayn has answered the phone.

"-and another thing! Wait, shit, he answered, Zayn!"Liam cheers, glad to have managed to get a hold of his friend.

"Liam, I'm working."

"So am I,"Liam reminds, with a little too much enthusiasm in his voice for this early in the morning. Zayn glances at the clock, finding that a couple of hours have passed and maybe now Zayn should be getting to work on doing his rounds. He has patients to see and medical staff to chat to.

"Yes, but your job involves you saying the asses of dumbass alphas while mine consists of saving lives."

"You surely don't sound like you're in surgery, so you are obviously not all that busy."Liam rolls his eyes, leaning back into his office chair and planting his feet on the newly varnished wood."I've been trying to get a hold of you all day, buddy. Gigi phoned Harry last night whenever you never came to see her, nor answer her calls."

"She did?"Zayn winces, leaning forward in his chair until he's practically leaning on the table, a hand up to his temples to soothe his hangover headache. It wasn't that he didn't suspect her to do something like that, it was the fact she had the nerve to phone Harry, out of all people, to ask for Zayns whereabouts. Gigi has never liked Harry, mostly because of how close he and Zayn are, but for other reasons that are better left unsaid.

Harry doesn't like Gigi because well, she's a bitch.

"Yeah, Harry was beyond pissed off. You owe him."

"I'll drop by with some cupcakes on my lunch break,"He waves it off, rising his head on the wood of the desk."What did she say to him?"

"Asked if he knew where you were and asked why you weren't answering her calls."Liam grumbles in annoyance, looking through files that he has rested between his stomach and lap from his position."Where were you last night, anyway?"

"Out."Zayn shrugs, because hey, it's the truth."Was at Anne's because I was doing routine checks on the omegas that she's housing and then fucked off to some bar, or club, I don't remember."

"I take it she said no?"Liam queries.

"Who said no?"

"Gigi said no."

"No to what?"

"Being involved in your Rut?"

"Oh fuck."Zayn almost pales, pulling his phone away from his ear and flipping up the calendar, his eyes scanning for the date that was being shown up at bold red in alert for the start of his rut which was in three days. Fuck. Zayn was supposed to ask Gigi last night over dinner, but then he was told about the omega house check up and then he and Gigi argued, so it kind of went out of his mind.

"You forgot."Liam deadpans, Zayn able to hear with his alpha hearing as he stares at the date. He still had so much to do, he needed to collect food for the rut, book his days off and of course find an alternative to an Omega for the 5 days."How does one forget their rut?"

"Any chance I can borrow Harry for 5 to 7 days?"

"Go fuck yourself, Malik."
