But I'm Not An Alpha!

Chapter 5

"Hey man, don't be snitching on me to Phu. He is stressed enough right now. Do you want him to go into labor early because of you? Besides you look like warmed over shit right now so you are in no state to be causing a stir at your own party. Not like I am going to touch the kid. I don't need a second Omega in my life. I have enough chaos already. I am perfectly happy being a one Omega man. So don't be spreading false gossip and get him worked up over nothing." Pond pouted at Joong as he argued his case and Joong just rolled his eyes.

"You always play around then cry to me when you get in trouble for it. Don't come to me when you get stabbed in the chest with a spoon by Phu one of these days."

"Why a spoon? That's so random yet so specific." he teased.

"Because Phu is a foodie. And the odds of him stabbing you with a utensil is never zero. When it happens I won't even be surprised really. I won't shed a tear for you either. Because you would have deserved it." Joong teased back. This is how they always were when they were together, two weirdos just having fun. But right now they needed to get back inside and show the people they are alive still and haven't killed each other and buried their bodies in the garden.

"Come on. Guests are gonna be arriving soon and I need to tear Phu away from the kitchen before he eats you out of all your provisions." They linked arms and walked back into the house to start the night's activities.

An hour later and the halls were filled with the chattering of different Alphas, Betas and Omegas. Each doing different things throughout the night. So far it had gone off pretty well and no one caused a scene or had a problem. Dunk was able to stay behind the scenes and work with Alberto in the kitchen, keeping himself away from the overpowering stench of pheromones that wafted through each door he walked through. Of course he couldn't stay hidden back there forever as people demanded more drinks and more food. Dunk could barely keep up with the orders that were flying through the door. By the time the moon had risen high in the sky Dunk was beyond exhausted. God it was never ending. How did they do this without dropping to the floor in defeat.

"Dunk, another order. Red wine and champagne for the main table. The guy asked for you directly. Hurry up and get it for them." A small voice called out to him from the door and Dunk jumped to attention, grabbing the champagne and red wine and placing it on a tray. He steadied the glass and began to make his way towards where the person had indicated, avoiding different groups that were engaged in talks around him. Slow and steady. No spilling the liquid. He held his breath as he walked through the cloud of stench till he was able to find who had asked for the drinks. He could see Pond laughing along with another person he didn't know. But judging by the extremely large belly he expected it was Phuwin, Pond's other half.

"Oh Dunk! You got my order. Over here cutie!" Dunk stepped over and placed the two glasses next to Pond, standing there to see if he needed anything else. He wanted to run for it. He could see Joong casually talking to what looked like a very fancy aristocrat that reeked of sweet perfume and desperation. They kept touching Joongs arm and Dunk could tell he didn't like the gesture at all. He kept grimacing and moving his hand away each time. Dunk couldn't take his eyes away from the interaction. He saw Joong glance in his direction and he quickly looked away so he wasn't caught staring. His heart skipped and he felt his body heating up again. Dammit he was doing so good, why did he have to break down now? It was such a bother... Phuwin stood up next to him and grabbed Dunk's arm, pulling him away and into a back room, away from the eyes and ears of the rest of the guests.

"Seriously child... are you stupid or just naive?"

"Sorry?" Dunk stared at him wide eyed and tried to make sense of his question. What had he done? He was just standing there... he didn't even speak... Phuwin pinched his brow and sighed dramatically.
