We sat on the courtyard bench to soak up the rays.It had been a long time since I had been able to live and breathe so peacefully. Only after I knew and experienced what freedom was like did I realize how oppressive it was living at Alvin's house.Alvin was the owner of that house, which was like a cage that trapped me inside.Kevin told me he'd be gone for a while and that I needed to take care of myself in the coming days.I inquired, nervously, "Where are you going, did Alvin do anything to you.""My susceptibility period is approaching," he said helplessly.Period of susceptibility...In physiology class, it was taught that it is similar to an omega's estrus, alphas in their susceptibility period would be extremely sensitive to pheromones and difficult to control.The greater the alpha's level, the more terrifying their susceptibility period.Even a very sane and calm Kevin would go insane in his susceptibility. It wasn't his fault, but he was an alpha.After being with Alvin for
Aside from the omega pheromones, I also noticed a distinct odour emanating from the house.Kevin's powerful champagne scent.I wasn't expecting such a fiery flavour from him, an introverted and sensible man.I only got a tiny whiff of it, and it was as if I'd already gotten drunk.“Why are you saying that you will regret it?”Because I'm filthy?Because I'm not the ideal bed partner for you?Or,You don't want to get into any trouble?He simply looked at me and said, "Because it'll hurt you."The door slammed open immediately after he said that, and Adam broke in with two guards in tow."Brother Kevin!""What the hell is this smell? Are you okay, sigh?"As he spoke, Adam rushed in to open all the windows in the living room, then noticed Kevin was caught off guard, so he asked uncertainly, "You're...in susceptible period?"Kevin gave a nod.Adam froze for a moment before finally saying, "...that's awesome.""In the bedroom, I knocked that person out. Please remove him from my sight." K
Kevin's sigh brushed against my neck."I'd like to know what I want as well. I'm curious what led you to believe that there is only a paid relationship between people.""I'm not interested in your money...""I don't want you to pay me back." He took a deep breath and buried his head on my shoulder. "If you do it again, I will do something I will regret.I gradually calmed down after being held by Kevin for a long time.Kevin persevered despite the fact that the house still had pheromones left by Zen. He couldn't go on like this, so we returned to Deep Meadow.The Alphas and Omegas consciously vanished within Kevin's perceptible range, leaving only the Butler, a beta, at the door.Kevin took my hand as we exited the car. I was embarrassed to flee, and the kind old gentlemen noticed and teased me, saying, "The little young master really couldn't leave sir for a moment.""Indeed," Kevin said calmly, one step ahead of me.His hands were big, his palms were hot and comfortable, and his lit
We saw the parade on the road after riding the merry-go-round. The kids ran after the bouncing sail. Kevin led me to the roadside, grabbed the helium balloon in my hand, and then held my hand."There are too many people, and it's easy to become separated." He casually mentioned ignoring my red-faced face.“Mm…”The sun was shining brightly, and my face was scorching.'It's the sun... it's the sun...'I didn't tell him it was my first visit to an amusement park.Kevin went ice cream shopping, while I sat on the seat outside the castle and waited.I didn't notice the jewel-eyed, plump little girl next to me, who was staring at me with great anticipation.I followed her gaze and looked down to see the Doll I was holding.It was a princess doll, and the little girl was dressed similarly.The little girl appeared to be four to five years old, dressed in a fuzzy princess gown made of pink cotton.Very cute.“Little sister.” I gave her a friendly wave. "Where are your parents?"She blinked h
I was dubious. “Really?”"I swear." He retracted his smile and stated solemnly, "I had never considered interfering in this matter because I know you can do it."He drew me into his arms and hugged me tightly. "You are the most beautiful little flower in the world."I felt a lump in my throat and almost burst into tears. For the first time in my life, I was crying for another reason other than being sad.I got the satisfaction of being needed and a positive sense of accomplishment from Kevin that I had never felt before."We'll go meet Mr. Efrin once your body is in better shape." He took the tip of my nose. "To be honest, I wish I could be selfish and keep you, but I can't."Kevin's attitude toward my playing instruments seemed to have always been complicated. He said that most heavenly musicians died young because they burned their lives away in music, and he wanted me to live until I was old and grey.I wanted to tell him that I'd rather die than live a long life doing what I love
I lived with my nanny before I was five, and I had no idea who my parents were. I used to believe that all kids slept alone at night with the lamps on, just like me.He took me to the Neal Family when I was six years old. He couldn't stand the sight of my unkempt appearance, so he enrolled me in a private tutoring program and forced me to learn the violin. The teacher was extremely strict. He'd hit my palm if I played a wrong note, and he wouldn't let me cry.I was given the cold shoulder by the Neal family because I was an illegitimate son with an ambiguous status. Neal never showed me any concern or affection.He only provided me with food and clothing out of familial inclination.At the age of 14, my mother's lawyer approached me and handed me my mother's suicide note and inheritance.I left the Neal family for an entire 8 years and haven't seen Neal since.Later, in my mother's inheritance, I discovered a cello and a letter. He said it was his favourite thing and that he hoped I
"Um," I said as I nodded.The box contained only a few items, all of which were given by Kevin. Books, brooches, a music box, pillows, and the Princess doll he bought for me after I gave the original to the little girl.I didn't bring my instrument on purpose, giving myself a glimmer of hope, and the privilege of coming back.“Jill.” He called out my name. "I understand your decision because you're still young, but you should know that I'm not so young anymore."He approached me and stroked my hair one last time. "I'm willing to wait for you, but not for long."The doorbell then rang.Seeing Alvin after all this time felt like it had been a century.I used to look forward to him picking me up after class or college and driving me home countless times, but when the time came, I was filled with sadness.We seemed to have always lagged one step behind each other.Kevin handed Alvin my suitcase and said, "The medicines he usually takes are here, and each bottle is labelled. If you're too
"I despise you."Alvin's entire body shook for a split second. "What did you say?" he asked, staring at me blankly as if he'd found that unbelievable."I said, I despise you. I will always truly hate you."I pushed him away and ran away after saying that. I noticed his absent-minded expression as if he were in a daze.I collided with a maid at the top of the stairs, knocking cups and dishes over and breaking them all over the floor. I didn't care what she said at that point, and I continued to run.The courtyard was far too large. I hunkered down on the ground for a long time before discovering the pendant by the pool.The small glass cover had been shattered, and the ash inside had been scattered on the ground, blown away by the wind and unable to be recovered.Perhaps I'd cried too much. Surprisingly, there was only emptiness in my heart at this time.In the end, I couldn't keep him...Regardless of what I did.I knelt and carefully gathered the fragments, burying them beneath the
