Omega forgetting to bring a heat suppressant is the same as cops forgetting their guns. You are just inviting trouble to yourself. I grabbed her and pulled her towards my car. As soon as I reached it, I saw the car keys near the first tire. I opened the car and pulled out a small blue pouch from my glove compartment. I took out a few of my heat suppressants from it and handed them to her. The moment she saw the pills, her eyes widened in disbelief,

"To-Tony, Why do you have those?" she asked, looking puzzled.

"That’s not important right now," I answered shortly, getting the water bottle kept near the gears, "Quickly take it," I said, offering her the bottle, "The security will be here any minute"

"Y-You really c-called the security?" she asked, her eyes watering.

"Take it" I almost ordered her.

Doesn't she realize what position she will be in once the security arrives?

Nodding, she chugged down three pills. She quietly sat in the car after I asked her to do so. The security arrived well after 10 minutes. How could they be so late? Six of them came running and started looking in different directions. Two of them noticed me and asked what happened. After explaining them briefly, I asked angrily,

"Why were you all so late?? If I was not here, the guest could have done something unforgivable"

"Forgive me, sir!! The utility vehicles were all locked off, so we had to hurry on our feet" one of the security guys spoke apologetically.

"I will speak with the Head of Security tomorrow to keep one of the utility vehicles out for emergency purposes,” I said, feeling extremely annoyed, This was no joke!! “Anyways, take care of the guest, he is in that corner," I said pointing to where I made him unconscious.

"Yes sir, we’ll check it immediately. Thank you," the security guy said

He gave me a short bow and hurried to the corner. I saw them checking on the guest, before carrying him out. Once I confirmed that the guest was well enough, I got in my car and drove off.

It was so late. Twen must be waiting for me. I hope he has fallen asleep.

“I am sorry” I heard, Tanya mumble, “You had to witness-”

“Tanya, what happened to you was wrong. You should not apologize for something that was not even your fault” I lightly reprimanded.

“I did not-”

“You did not ask him to attack you so, don't apologize.” I asserted.

Tanya nodded, but I noticed a drop of tear leak down her eyes. I felt upset seeing a bright smiling girl in this miserable state.

After a long pause, Tanya asked me quietly, looking more at ease and control, “How did you manage to keep your sub-gender under wraps with these?”

I took a quick peek to see she was pointing at my heat suppressant pills. Of course, she guessed I was an Omega. Beta and Alpha would not just happen to have heat suppressants. I sighed audibly, before replying, 

“I’ll explain everything once we reach my place”

Tanya gave a light nod. The next 20 minutes of the ride went in silence.

***

As soon as I opened the door, Twen’s voice rang out from within his bedroom.

“Mommy is that you?” 

It was nearly 12 a.m. and he was still awake. “Munchkin, why are you awake so late?”

He immediately came out on hearing my voice but stopped in surprise at seeing Tanya. Tanya too seemed a little befuddled. I could see curiosity and confusion clear in both of their eyes. I knew why Tanya’s eyes were narrowing with suspicion and she was looking from me to Twen. Twen had an odd expression on his face, somewhere between shock and irritation. I suddenly recalled Fred's situation and felt a little amused. He and Tanya have met before but the situation was a little different this time. Tanya came to my house late for the first time. On the other hand, Tanya assumed that I was Twen's dad, but now, she may get another picture.

"Won’t you greet her?" I asked Twen, with a smile.

"He-hello" Twen greeted.

“Hey, Twen” Tanya greeted back but continued staring at him blankly.

I asked Tanya to sit as I strolled to the washroom to get refreshed. Seeing Twen still loitering around, I came out and asked him why was he up so late. 

He pouted as he answered, "I was worried"

"I am so sorry to worry you. I’ll try that it doesn’t happen again, okay?" I consoled.

"Okay," he said, moodily.

"Don't be mad!" I said patting his head, "Now go to bed. You have classes tomorrow right?" I kissed his cheek.  

I always disappoint him. For the sake of Twen, I have to accelerate my restaurant’s plans.

"Okay Mommy," he said but did not move. After deliberating for a few seconds he said, "Mum, we have a sports event next Wednesday"

He stated it instead of asking me to come to the event. That was because I haven't been able to make it last year. I immediately decided I would join him this year even if I had to work overtime the rest of the week.

"I’ll join you," I said with confidence.

“REALLY?” he asked with sparkling eyes.

“Yes,” I promised.

He happily hugged me before hopping back to his room bidding me a cheerful 'Goodnight'! I went to the kitchen and came back with two steaming cups of coffee. Tanya was silently watching all that was happening and quietly accepted the cup. While she sipped, she kept glancing at me. I expected her to ask me something about Twen but instead, she asked

"How do you manage?" 

I took a sip of my coffee as I answered, "Twen is a very mature kid. If he hadn't been so smart-”

"No,  I don't mean that," she interrupted, "I-I mean being an Omega? Especially being a male Omega?"

I looked at her, slightly surprised. I thought the easiest way to answer this question was to show her than give her long details. I picked up my hair and turned my nape towards her. I heard her gasp in shock on seeing my bite mark. I let my hair down and continued drinking coffee. There was a long pause after the revelation. Tanya finally put down her coffee mug and asked gravely,

"Who is your bonded Alpha?"
