The last thing Alex saw before he died was the unknown man, using his powers to transform his face and body into his appearance, driving him to despair.
In a hotel room in the morning, Alex woke up with his head aching and buzzing. It took him a few moments before he could open his eyes and ask himself: "Am I alive?"
Feeling completely whole, he realized he was lying on the floor of a hotel, the ground beneath him wet, but his body was burning, burning with fever.
Using the little strength he had left, he tried to support his hands on the floor to get up, only to feel a sharp stab of pain in his hands that, covered in dry wounds, reopened, causing fresh blood to spill over the dried blood on his hands that had not yet been cleaned.
The intense pain in his hands helped him maintain his sanity, as he realized he was in a rut.
Recognizing the family situation, Alex looked back and noticed the broken door, and the omega passed out next to it, naked, with his fingers stuck in his private parts, and passed out from pain and exhaustion from not receiving the comfort of an Alpha.
As soon as Alex saw the omega, a hatred arose in his heart with the desire to kill him, but he held himself back.
Alex, based on the situation and the memories of what his family had told him about the state in which they had found him after the event, realized that he had reincarnated before the time he woke up in the hospital.
Alex decided that in this life, he would take revenge on everyone who made him and his beloved suffer, but first, he would have to resolve this situation before the omega woke up and things repeated themselves just like in his previous life.
Using all his strength, Alex stood up, opening the wounds on his hands and arms even more, walked to the sofa in the room where his cell phone had been without battery for days, and walked to the hotel phone, which had its cord cut, making it impossible to make calls.
Alex, however, had to learn some survival tricks after surviving the apocalypse. So, he took the knife from the dinner cart that the Omega had used as an excuse to enter and found a way to call his secretary, Leo.
Leo, after hearing what led to such a situation and following his boss's orders, got to the room as quickly as possible.
With the recording of Alex's audio, he ordered the door to be broken down and entered with the beta doctor. Finding Alex fallen on the floor, next to the phone, with it still in his hand.
Amidst nightmares about the events of his past life, delirious with fever, Alex opened his eyes and saw Leo running towards him with the doctor, with tears in his eyes, before fainting.

In a hospital room, Alex was sleeping, pale, his high fever had already subsided a little, and the wounds on his body were disinfected and bandaged.
His face, however, was frowning.
Suddenly, a group of people entered through the door, some with worried faces and others with anger.
"Brother! Mom, what happened to my brother? How did he get like this?"
Said Victoria, seeing her brother's appearance, and taking his hand.
"He's lost so much weight! And he's burning with fever! Why is he bandaged? Wasn't it just a simple rut?"
Victoria, calm down!
Said Nathaniel with a serious face, the anger evident in his eyes, because his patience was about to run out.
4 days ago, after the banquet, he was informed by his son that he was going into rut and would spend the three days in the presidential suite since he wouldn't have time to get home. He thought it was normal, but when he didn't hear from his son the next day, he got nervous, called several times, and his cell phone wouldn't answer.
Until he called his son's secretary, who told him that his son had gone into rut with an omega, and based on the hotel rules, they couldn't open the door to the presidential suite unless the guest asked when he was in rut or received a request for emergency help in case he was involved in a scheme.
When he received the news, Nathaniel was shocked. If his son marked an unknown omega and got him pregnant, it would be a disaster. No one could guarantee what would happen inside that room, they could only wait until all the food inside was gone and one of them was conscious enough to ask for more food, thus opening the door to the room.
But how long would that take?
Nathaniel wasn't sure, if the omega involved was of the same status as his family, Nathaniel would be more than happy to marry the two and form an alliance.
But what about planning the engagement with the Scott family? Nathaniel had spent the last month carefully planning the engagement between the Lancaster family and the Scott family.
There was no going back from this situation, the law of protection against omegas was clear: if an Alpha marked an Omega permanently, he would be forced to marry him.
Nathaniel could only pray that this would not be the case, but at that moment he would have to plan, if the omega was not permanently marked, it would not be such a big problem, he would just have to make sure to get his son out of that room in three days and send him to the hospital, but if he could not, he would have to bleed a lot to appease the Scott family.
The wedding could not be canceled, so the only way if things went wrong was to change the groom to his other son, Sebastian Lancaster.
