In high school there was a class offered to all students known as the Afterglow Series. It is a class taught separately by secondary gender. Alpha, Omega and Beta. And for those who hadn’t yet differentiated, they were put into the beta class. This series was all about estrus and aftercare. Alphas were taught how to take care of an omega during their heat cycle and after. Omegas were taught how to watch over an alpha during their rut and after. Betas and the yet to differentiate were taught a bit of both because who knew with who they would end up with or end up being. All classes were also taught what to expect to happen to them and their bodies during that time period. The class was usually taught in the beginning/midpoint of sophomore year when most students had already begun differentiating.
Kloh, Olive and Simon were the last three in their group to differentiate. Although they all had an idea of what they would be they still had to go through the beta class. At the time, being the anti alphas group they were, they didn’t really put too much thought into the class. They had listened to the omega section in order to know what to expect from their own partners. Even if they didn’t become omegas maybe they’d be betas. And if they were it would be best to date a cute omega. Again, they were very anti alpha at that time. Plus it wasn’t a class they were graded on. They all figured they’d just teach themselves later when the information was needed.
Kloh couldn’t remember a lick of information from that class. But thankfully the program name was memorable. And as he typed in the name the website popped up. He scrolled through the many articles before stopping at a guide.
Post Estrus: A Guide for Alpha’s by Omegas
This guide is curated by numerous omegas who have experienced many heats. It showcases information that all alphas should pay attention to when helping their partner through their post estrus phase. Especially if the heat ended in marking, temporary or permanent. Alphas, this guide is for you!
Kloh unhesitatingly opened the guide. Dex moved a bit besides him. He stopped and looked down. Dex had his arms wrapped around Kloh’s waist. His face pressed against the man’s hip. Several hours had passed by now. Kloh had woken up only after an hour or so and had sat back against the headboard, finally allowing himself to reflect on what had gone down. As soon as he had moved, Dex had moved over to him. The flush that Dex was sporting had gone away. He breathed slowly and evenly as he cuddled into Kloh. Kloh smiled softly and patted his head. Then turned his attention back to the article.
- First thing to remember is, no matter how quickly you mark your omega, the heat will continue for the full term. Although their bodies won’t be constantly exuding mating pheromones, they will still experience the side effects that come with estrus. Such as heightened libido, sensitivity, pheromone addiction, etc.
- Your omega will be experiencing heightened emotions. They will easily cry, laugh and/or scream. At such a time be gentle with them and understanding. After all they just went through a wild experience that messes with their hormones. Don’t take their attitudes to heart.
Kloh disgested the information. He could remember being taught some of these things. He glanced down at Dex who had found his way into Kloh’s lap. His face now pressed against Kloh’s bare abdomen. Each breath tickled Kloh. The lust he had managed to best down started stirring. He kept scrolling to distract himself.
- Pheromone addiction, for those who don’t know, is when a person has developed a dependence on another’s pheromones. Without it, the person becomes despondent and withdrawn. It’s hard to sleep and function as well. Usually only omegas that are a part of a fated pair have this affliction. And some rare medical cases. However in estrus each omega develops a small case of pheromone addiction. The best way to handle it is to make sure said omega has something of yours around them. Maybe a shirt they can wear. Or a pillow that you slept on. As long as they have something with your pheromones (or you) within scenting distance it won’t be too bothersome. It usually immediately goes away at the end of the heat cycle. P. S. It’ll be a bit more heightened for an omega in a fated pairing. So be aware at all times.
Kloh remembered Dex explaining the addiction phenomenon the weekend they slept together (platonically of course). Honestly Kloh was a bit baffled with how much he didn’t know about omegas. He chastised himself and promised himself to make sure his little group of Os learned about all of this.
- During heat, Omegas are a bit more demanding. It is always appreciated that their alpha spends a bit more effort looking after them. For example, draw them a bath. After all, they produced a ridiculous amount of slick to accommodate you (YES YOU!). The least you could do is make sure they aren’t sticky and covered in various liquids for too long.
He could do that. He should probably also clean up the room, he thought as he looked around the room. Placing the phone down, he carefully untangled Dex from his body. Before the omega could be disgruntled he stuffed the pillow that he slept on into his arms. Dex squeezed it for a minute then sniffed it carefully. Satisfied, he pressed his face into it and rolled over. Kloh nodded to himself. Sure enough, the guide was actually helpful.
He got up. His bones made sounds of protest as he stretched himself out. Again he reaffirmed his vow to work out some more. Maybe he’d ask Mars for help. For the next twenty or so minutes he cleaned the room, despite his protesting body. Once the room was back to its normal state, he headed to the bathroom to run a bath.
He stood in front of the bathtub a bit stunned. Then a blush covered his face as he reached in and picked up the package. He was quite literally speechless as he looked at the dildo. Although it’s not like he’s never seen one. In fact he’d been forced to go shopping with his group of Os to buy some. It’s not surprising that Dex, as an omega, would own one especially to use for heats. But still, Kloh couldn’t stop the blush or the images that appeared in his mind. He quickly put it in the cabinet and started the water to fill the bathtub.
After several minutes the tub was at a decent level. Dipping a hand into the bath, Kloh made sure it was a good temperature. Not too hot and not too cold. He found some candles in the cabinets and lit them. He also placed all the bath salts he found on the ledge so Dex could choose which one he wanted. Kloh surveyed the set up with satisfaction. This should be good, he thought. Connecting the speaker to his phone he played some soothing music. Finished with setup the next step was to get Dex out of bed and into the bath.
When he walked back into the room, Dex was sitting up in bed. Clutching the pillow Kloh had put in his arms, he looked around dazedly. When his eyes landed on Kloh, a faint scent wafted over to Kloh. He blinked slowly and stared at Kloh as he wrapped his pheromones around the man. Kloh’s heart stuttered. He was too freaking adorable! With messy hair, glossy eyes and a look of innocence. Kloh sighed and took a mental image. With the pheromones beckoning him over, he walked over and stopped in front of the bed.
Dex tossed the pillow aside and sluggishly moved over to wrap his arms around Kloh’s waist. He rested his face on Kloh’s hip and sniffed him. Again Kloh’s heart stuttered. Dex rubbed his face on Kloh’s face, contentedly. Kloh took a deep breath. He reached forward and cupped Dex’s face, tilting the man’s head to look up. Dex blinked slowly and tilted his face into Kloh’s palm, once again scenting him. The image was too intense for his little heart to handle
“Fuck.” Kloh cursed to himself.
“Okay.” Dex mumbled and pulled back from Kloh.
Kloh watched, stunned, as Dex laid back on the bed. The omega stretched out all six plus feet of perfection. He bent his knees, parting his leg, letting them fall to the side and gave Kloh a full view of everything.
Every. Single. Thing.
Kloh stared then shut his eyes. But the image of Dex’s body was burned into his eyelids so he did the only thing he could think of and slapped himself. He actually slapped himself. Then he regretted it immediately.
“Ow!” He cupped his face in pain but kept his eyes closed.
Why? What? He couldn’t comprehend what had happened. A section from the guide flashed into his mind.
- After the first marking, permanent or temporary, your omega will be very susceptible to suggestions. They will be in a state known as the Reverted State. It’s the equivalent of being extremely high. They’ll be drunk off of the pheromones (that’s right, your pheromones, you drug dealer). When in this state, they fall back into a natural state of an omega. Very submissive and agreeable. It’s the best opportunity to make sure they eat properly because they’ll listen to you. Now as a good alpha (which we hope you are because you’re here reading this) you shouldn’t make ridiculous requests at this time. Do not take advantage of this state. They will remember everything afterwards. Be warned!
He cursed under his breath. This level of susceptibility was too much. He took several breaths and turned around before opening his eyes. He heard Dex moving around in the bed but was terrified to look back.
“Dex, how about you take a bath first?” He tried to calmly say.
Dex hummed and thought it over. He then rolled over slowly and crawled out of the bed. He went behind Kloh and draped himself over the man, hugging him to his naked body. In that moment Kloh was so grateful to whoever created pants and shared that knowledge with the world. Because without they’d be skin to skin. And Kloh knew he was a good person, he knew it, but temptation was a dangerous thing. Especially knowing that Dex now carried his mark. His imagination was running wild.
“Okay. Alright. We’ll go to the bathroom together then.” He said aloud, remembering the original plan he had.
With Dex holding onto him, occasionally nuzzling his head, they walked to the bathroom. Kloh brought him to the tub and with a little struggle got him into it. Dex sighed happily as the warm water slid over his body. He leaned back against the porcelain and Klok placed a rolled up towel under his head. Dex hummed to the music and tapped his fingers to the beat against the side of the tub.
“Okay. Great. You bathe and I’ll go grab us some food. Cool?” Kloh rubbed Dex’s head.

“Stay.” Dex whispered, his voice still maintained that roughness from before.
It tickled his ears.
“I’ll be right back. Just gonna run downstairs real quick. I promise.” Kloh smiled at him.
“No. Stay.” He tugged his arm again.
Kloh couldn’t help the small smile that appeared. Dex leaned forward and rubbed his nose against Kloh’s palm. Kloh’s heart softened. Dex was gonna be the death of him. Kloh bent over and kissed his cheek. Dex hummed.
“I’ll be back in like 20 mins tops. You can just relax and enjoy yourself.”
Dex shook his head. He reached up and poked Kloh’s face then pecked his check.
“Dex, baby. Be good.”
Kloh patted his head and kissed his cheek again. Dex sighed and reluctantly released him, sinking back into the tub. Kloh chuckled and stood. Dex watched him begrudgingly but didn’t stop him from leaving. Instead he picked out some of his favorite bath salts and soaps. Then dropped them into the bath. The room was quickly filled with the scent of lavender. Dex relaxed into the bath, resting his head on the towel again. Once Kloh was sure he was all set, he left the room. He left both the bathroom and bedroom doors slightly open so he could hear if Dex yelled out for him. In passing he grabbed his phone and a sweater that hung by the door and put it on.
~~~
When Kloh went downstairs he saw two platters on the dining room table. One was filled with a variety of cut up fruits. Melons, pineapple, grapes, mango etc. The other had several small sandwiches. He could see roast beef, pastrami and turkey (his favorite) sandwiches. Behind the platters was a gallon of water, two bottles of Gatorade and a jug of orange juice. As he stepped forward he saw a note placed on top of the fruit platter with his name on it. He picked it up and read it.
Kloh,
I’ve left two platters here for you two to eat. Make sure Dex eats at least 3 of the sandwiches and some fruits. It’ll be easier tonight to feed him than in the following days. The rest is for you. I know it’s a lot. Save some in his fridge. Make sure to replenish your own strength as well. I put in a couple of turkey sandwiches and mangos just for you. When you’re free please call me or Lane (preferably Lane because he’s freaking out). Doesn’t matter how late it is. We’ll be waiting for it. We’ll be staying in the guest house so as to not bother you two. Anyway I’ll leave you to it. Take care of our baby.
Me ×××-×××-5826 Lane ×××-×××-6937
-Dahlen
Kloh smiled. He glanced at the carefully cut mangos. His heart warmed a little. Taking out his phone he saved the two numbers. Then he hesitated over calling. It was 1 am. They’d probably be asleep. But at the same time they did say to call whenever. His finger hovered over the call button with Lane’s number typed in. From above he could hear the distant splashing sounds. For a moment he honed in on the noises. He could imagine Dex carefully bathing and humming along to the music. The image put a little smile on his face. He was doing good and his parents should know that. And he pressed the call button.
Not even two full rings in, the call was answered.
“Hello?! Kloh? How’s Dex? Are you all right?” Lane’s somewhat frantic voice filled the speaker.
“We…..”
“Is Dex awake? Has he eaten? Have you eaten? Don’t forget to feed yourself!” Lane continued, his voice pitching into mild hysteria.
“He’s awake. We’re g……….”
“And clean up well. Make sure that he cleans up well okay?” Lane once again spoke over him.
“Honey, please let the kid speak.” Kloh heard Dahlen say.
Then there was some static.
“Okay Kloh you’re on speaker. Go ahead. I’ll keep Lane silent for now.”
“Mmhet mh go.” Lane muffled.
“Hurry before he bites through my hand.”
Kloh was astonished but also very amused.
“Alright. To answer your questions, Dex is okay. I’m okay. He’s awake and bathing. I cleaned up the room. We haven’t eaten yet. I’m gonna take the platters upstairs in a bit. Anything else?” Kloh summarized.
“Did you mark him?” Lane yelled.
“Fuck!” Dahlen hissed in pain.
Kloh couldn’t help but laugh. Then he nodded.
“He accepted a temporary mark. I promise he’s okay.” Kloh replied.
Lane’s relieved exhale filled the speaker.
“Good. Good. Alright.” He muttered as he got farther away from the phone.
Kloh heard some more rustling sounds.
“Kloh? It’s Dahlen. You’re no longer on speaker.”
“How’s Lane?”
“He just needs a minute. He’s been bouncing off the walls since earlier. Thanks for calling. I don’t think he would’ve slept otherwise.”
“Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t call sooner. Wait, I was actually supposed to text Beau as well. Damn it, I…”
“It’s fine. After you didn’t come back we all figured everything would be fine. Beau, Mars and Wesley went over to Wesley’s house. I’ll give them a call later.”
“Thank you.” Kloh relaxed. He couldn’t believe he forgot. Thankfully they trusted him.
“Thank you Kloh. I know it’s been a rough transition for you and that you’re still learning about being alpha. But you still held out and came through and did what lesser alphas wouldn’t. So thanks. We all appreciate it.” Dahlen’s voice was soft and almost foriegn to Kloh. He’d never heard the man speak in such a tone before and admittedly was a bit embarrassed.
“Yeah, I mean, of course. No problem.” He mumbled.
“And this might be a little TMI, but if Dex is anything like his daddy, it’s gonna be a fight to get him to eat. So make sure he eats a lot when he’s willing. Hopefully he isn’t as difficult as Lane.” Dahlen whispered with a laugh.
“DIFFICULT?! WHO’S DIFFICULT? I AM AN ANGEL!” Kloh heard Lane yell at Dahlen.
“Demon is more like it.” Dahlen shot back.
“You big headed alpha. Give me my phone back.” Lane scolded him and once again the phone was filled with static. There was a long pause then sounds of running and doors slamming.
“Kloh?” Lane whispered.
“Yeah?” Kloh replied, amused.
“Quickly before Dahlen breaks in. I’ve hidden some condoms and other things you might need in the downstairs guest bedroom. Dahlen might be a mated alpha but he’s still an alpha and a father so he won’t tell you this. Mainly because he’d rather not think of it. However as an omega I’m telling you, the likelyhood of sex happening is 97%. All the pheromones will be very difficult to resist plus Dex’s libido will be through the freaking roof. So I’d rather you two be safe and protected. Although I love babies, we are not ready to be grandparents. And Dex has no plans for kids till he’s finished with school. Got me?”
Kloh blinked, stunned. A blush covered his face and for a moment he couldn’t reply.
“Shit! He’s almost in. You understand me Kloh?”
“…….Yes sir.” He choked out.
“Good. Remember this stays between you and me. I mean I’ll be fine but not too sure about you.
“…..Okay”
“Good. I……. Dahlen, baby, crazy seeing you here.” Lane’s voice changed from the whispering to a bright cheerful voice.
“Lane.” Dahlen’s voice was deep and held a promise of something Kloh really didn’t want to think about.
“Okay bye.” Kloh quickly said and hung up. But not before he heard Lane yelp and what sounded like a moan.
Kloh blushed and put the phone face down. He took a moment to calm himself then laughed. He truly liked Dahlen and Lane. They were a prime example of what he wanted in his life. What he wanted for parents. What he wanted to emulate as a couple. Be as a person. And he was grateful that they had allowed him into their home and treated him like one of their own. He smiled to himself and ate one of the mangos cubes. It was nice to be with a family. Even if they weren’t fully his.
His phone buzzed. He flipped it over and saw three notifications. One was a text from Beau, another from Lee and the third was from an unsaved number. He replied to the messages from Beau and Lee. When he looked over the number the last message was from he hesitated opening it. He clearly recognized the number. But this was not the time to allow this number to bother him. So he swiped it away after quickly reading it, not even considering a reply. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes in disgust. He shook his head, not wanting to focus on that. Instead he took two trips to get the food upstairs.
He changed the bedsheets and set up the food on the cleared desk. Walking over to the bathroom, he peered in and saw Dex dozing off in the tub. With a smile he grabbed a towel and went over to the omega.
“All done?” He asked.
Dex squinted up at Kloh and nodded. He then held his arms up, waiting for Kloh to pull him up. Kloh chuckled and did as directed. He pulled Dex out of the tub. The groggy man leaned forward onto Kloh, arms wrapping around his neck. Dex rested his head on top of Kloh’s and exhaled. Taking the towel, Kloh dried him off as best as he could without moving too much then wrapped the towel around Dex’s waist. Dex rubbed his face against Kloh’s head. For a second they just stood there. Kloh, holding onto Dex’s waist. Dex hugging his neck and nuzzling his head. Kloh basked in the warm feeling that spread in his chest. Dex sighed happily.
“This is nice.” Dex muttered into Kloh’s messy curls.
“Yeah. It is.” Kloh replied and pulled Dex closer to him.
They stood, holding each other, for several minutes. It would’ve lasted longer had it not been for the fact that Kloh knew he had to make sure Dex ate. He patted Dex’s waist and pulled back a bit. Dex pouted but did not complain as Kloh took his hands in his and led him out the bathroom.
Kloh sat Dex down at the desk where a full plate of food was waiting. Kloh spent the next 20 minutes coaxing Dex to eat several sandwiches and fruits. The only thoughts going through his head as he fed Dex was about how cute he was. How adorable he was eating with nearly closed eyes. He had a glowing look of adoration as he made sure Dex ate as much as he could while he was willing to.
“I’m full.” Dex mumbled and leaned back into the chair to look up at Kloh.
“Alright. Then let’s go back to bed. You must be very tired. I know I am.” Kloh yawned at the end of his sentences, realizing that he actually was very tired.
Dex took Kloh’s hand and pulled himself up. He then loomed over Kloh, in what would be a threatening way if it wasn’t for that fact that Kloh had already labeled him the cutest man alive. Dex looked down at Kloh and for a moment, the blurriness in his eyes cleared. The fog in his mind lifted and started disappearing. He started to feel the aches and pains from his previous actions.
More importantly the back of his neck throbbed. Not in a bad way, but in a way that let him know something was there. A mark. Kloh’s mark was there. And Kloh….. he was still here. Standing in front of him. Making sure he ate. Making sure he was clean. Making sure he was safe. He stayed, despite being put into a weird situation. More of the fog disappeared as the Reverted State came closer to an end. Dex suddenly felt all kinds of emotions run through him.
First was gratitude. He was very grateful for everything Kloh had done and was still doing. Second was attachment. And while he knew that the mark played a big part in that, he’d be lying if he said he didn’t already feel that. And third was pure and utter embarrassment. He couldn’t believe he let Kloh see him in such a state. He groaned as his earlier actions of baring himself to Kloh to be fucked flashed to the forefront of his mind. He groaned again as a blush covered his face. He brought his hands up and covered his face, cursing himself.
“Hey? You okay? Something hurting?” Kloh asked worriedly, hands coming up to take Dex’s hands away.
But Dex resisted. Kloh looked over Dex and didn’t see anything. Maybe he ate too much, Kloh thought and patted Dex’s stomach.
“Stomach ache?”
“No.” Dex shook his head as he became very aware that he was only in a towel. He groaned again.
“Then what is it?” Kloh asked.
Dex stalled for a while before mumbling into his hands. Kloh didn’t quite hear it.
“What?”
“I’m embarrassed.” Dex said a little louder then let out an exasperated sigh and looked up at the ceiling.
Kloh smiled softly at him. He then stepped forward and hugged the taller man. He placed a small kiss against the underside of Dex’s jaw. Surprised, Dex looked down at him.
“Don’t be. Shit happens. I’m just glad I was able to help you through it.” Kloh smiled up at him, eyes filled with adoration.
“But still, I…..”
“No buts. Dex, I’m your alpha. I’d literally do anything for you. And even if I wasn’t, I’m still your boyfriend and would still do anything for you. I don’t want you to feel like you pressured me into doing something.” Kloh cut him off, already knowing what Dex was thinking.
Dex glanced away. He was thinking that he might’ve forced Kloh to do something he didn’t want to do. But a quick glance at Kloh’s face told him otherwise. There was no wronged look. No look of annoyance and aggrievement. Kloh looked absolutely genuine. And that made him feel a bit bad but also indescribably happy.
“Hey. Look at me.” Kloh whispered.
Unable to help himself, he turned back and looked back down at Kloh. He felt a warm hand press against the back of his neck, right on the marked omega gland. He shuddered as pleasure spiked through him. His eyes fluttered shut and his legs went a bit soft. He felt Kloh’s warm lips press against his Adam’s apple, the way it did the night he came over with cookies. He then heard a raspy whisper, ladled with desire filling his ears.
“Dex, I want you to know that I have every intention of making this,” he rubbed the gland again, making Dex moan softly, “permanent one day. This mark was given freely. I know this may sound conceited and possessive but the moment I made this mark you were mine. And I have no plans of letting you go. I’m your alpha. You’re my omega. No matter what.”
Kloh bit around Dex’s Adam’s apple, feeling the pulse move erratically. Dex could only moan softly as Kloh’s fingers glided across the sensitive gland. He clutched at Kloh’s arms and was caught up in trying to figure out which direction to tilt his head. The three words played on repeat as he was slowly played with. Slick built up as the embers of the residual heat sparked. He rubbed his legs together then rubbed his body against Kloh’s. Softs noise spilled out of his mouth uncontrollably. Unable to take it, he pushed at Kloh and was immediately let go. He took a step back and closed his eyes, slowly catching his breath. Once collected he looked at Kloh. The alpha watched him in turn. His pants pitching uncomfortably. His eyes, bright with lust, desire and…….. devotion. The words rolled in his mind over and over again. Then Dex took a deep breath and held out his trembling hand to Kloh, allowing himself to fall into the bottomless bit he’d been avoiding.
“No matter what.”

Author’s Note
Hehehehe here ye here he. I will give a wonderful surprise to the first 3 people to guess who texted Kloh. And to the first 3 people who can guess what the text was about. ʕっ˘ڡ˘ςʔ I look forward to your comments. Winners will be announced in the next Friday chapter update. Till next time <(￣3￣)>
im guessing his doc(new or old one) or mom… and msg probbaly smtg abt that experiment that was going on…?
cute chapter btww
99% sure his mom texted. 1% the omega (name escapes me) Kloh avoided a few chapters ago.
T
Update!!!!!! update!!!!! update!!!!!!!!! Today is Monday 😖
Sorry this was not for you i am new in using the comments section !!!
His mom
And prolly where he was or what was going on
It makes perfect sense to me that Kloh can be such a thoughtful alpha, since has experienced being an omega, he’s been through a heat/Ruth with no warning, and he truly adores Dex. My first thought about the text was the Omega – Alexander? – that he didn’t want to talk to, and that it might be regarding the huge fuss Kloh and Ares caused earlier.
i think it was his mom🤔
Thanks for the chapter
The mother …🤔
