로그인Aslan was brought to the Rosat headquarters in critical condition. He had a fever and was weak. Allen pressed a handkerchief to the bite wound on his neck, to stop the bleeding. Aslan lost consciousness shortly after the car sped away from Mario’s house.“You have to hang in there, Aslan.”Allen wiped the sweat dripping down Aslan’s face. Since then, Allen had been staring at the black mark that had appeared on Aslan’s wound. Allen didn’t know the mark appeared after Skylar bit Aslan’s neck. He assumed the black mark was a tattoo.“Since when did Aslan have a tattoo?”The last time Allen had seen Aslan, his little brother's body had been clean and tattoo-free. Allen hadn't received any reports from Johan or Fred that Aslan had gone to a tattoo artist while living with Skylar, either. Besides, Allen thought the idea of Aslan getting inked just didn't make sense. Allen knew that his little brother hated being touched by others. Even the slightest touch made Aslan pull away or get angry.
Aslan was startled by Skylar’s sudden appearance at Mario’s house. It was especially unsettling when he saw Mario lying unconscious with a bloody nose. A fierce glint shone in Skylar’s eyes, making his intimidating aura even more overwhelming. For a moment, Aslan was transported back to an incident from the past. That night when he and Skylar were attacked by a group of thugs. The last thing Aslan remembered before passing out and being taken to Skylar’s apartment was a faint, fleeting glimmer in Skylar’s eyes.Strangely, even though Skylar looked extremely intimidating, Aslan sensed the fresh scent of trees emanating from the man’s body. It was a familiar scent that he had also felt when Skylar had experienced the rut back then. The difference was that the scent of trees and foliage he sensed this time was far stronger. It was pleasant, but because it was stronger, it made Aslan’s body heat up and his head feel slightly dizzy. His knees gradually felt weak. He could feel his body wea
Allen trembled at the sight of his father. His father was the only person who could completely intimidate him. Although Allen was expected to be Rosat’s heir — with his exceptional physical abilities, intellect, and charisma, all of which were perfectly suited for a leader — none of that mattered when he faced his father. While Aslan was traumatized and hated his father for not being acknowledged, Allen felt obligated because his father had placed Rosat’s future on his shoulders.In a situation like this, Allen tried to stay calm. He hoped his father hadn’t overheard his conversation with Haruki earlier in his room regarding Aslan.“Father, what brings you here?”Aaron glared sharply at Allen. That intimidating gaze made Allen’s composure waver slightly.Then, his father looked Allen up and down. A cynical smirk curled his lips, followed by a question.“Where are you going? You seem in a hurry, Allen.”Allen swallowed nervously. He'd be doomed if he got caught.Feeling a bit panicked,
Mario stammered as he spoke, unsure of how to respond. For a moment, he was tempted to admit to Aslan that he liked him. However, he held back because he wasn’t sure about his feelings. He was certain he was attracted to Aslan, but he wasn’t sure if it was just simple attraction or love. Besides, Mario was worried that admitting his feelings might change their friendship.Being stared at intently by Aslan, who was waiting for his answer, made Mario’s mind go blank. Since a moment ago, his eyes had been darting around restlessly. His mind raced, trying to find an answer good enough for Aslan.In the end, all that came out of Mario’s mouth was a hollow, stiff laugh. He slowly shook his head while scratching the back of his neck, even though it wasn't itchy.“What are you talking about, Ash?”Aslan raised one eyebrow. His expression didn’t change. He kept staring at Mario seriously."Exactly what I asked earlier. Just answer honestly,” he said.Mario swallowed nervously. Only his stiff l
“What’s going on?” Allen asked frantically.“We… We’ve been found out, and that guy… He’s really dangerous.”Allen’s eyes widened in shock. “What do you mean? What’s actually happening?”“He’s really strange and dangerous. He’s releasing an excessive amount of pheromones. His intimidating aura is truly overwhelming. He’s giving us nosebleeds, Fred even threw up blood.”Allen truly didn’t expect to hear such a report from his men. Up until now, the reports they’d given Allen had merely covered Aslan’s situation, and everything had always been fine.While Aslan was staying at Skylar’s house, two of Allen’s men were watching him there. Allen ordered them to only observe and not get caught. Their job was simply to report to Allen on Aslan’s condition while he was staying there. So far, they had never bothered Aslan or Skylar at all. They were truly just keeping watch.Who would have thought that Fred and Johan, who were ordered to secretly monitor Aslan’s condition, would instead be affec
"So, where are you?"Aslan looked around in confusion when Mario asked him. There were no street signs in the area. He looked at the woman whose phone he had borrowed."Excuse me, where are we right now?" he asked.The woman had been staring intently at Aslan—so much so that she’d zoned out—but she immediately blinked and snapped back to reality when she heard his question."Huh? Oh, um, we're on Kayne Street."Aslan nodded. “Kayne Street. Do you know where that is?”“Yes,” Mario replied. “But where exactly are you right now?”Aslan scanned his surroundings again. "In a park. I don't know its name because there's no sign. It’s a rundown park that looks completely neglected.”"Oh, I know where you are. There’s only one park on Kayne Street. Wait for me there, and don't go anywhere, Ash."Aslan agreed. Besides, he was exhausted from walking for hours. He didn’t even know where that street was.After the call ended, Aslan returned the phone to the woman. He flashed her another fake, swee
“Are you crazy?”Skylar smiled calmly. "Why?"Aslan was speechless. How could Skylar talk about living together as casually as he talked about today's weather?“What do you mean, live with you?” Aslan asked.Skylar shrugged. "Yes, exactly what I said. You, me, us—living together at my place. Why ar
"Allen!"Aslan shouted when he saw Allen was serious about beating up that unfamiliar guy. Aslan didn't care if Allen wanted to fight him; it wasn't his business. He just didn't want them to fight in his room. It would disturb his peace and quiet.Unfortunately, Allen was already annoyed by Haruki'
Skylar continued to hold Aslan's hand until he fell asleep without realizing it.Early the next morning, Dr. Mikami came to check on Aslan's condition because he had to report it to Allen. However, he was surprised to see Skylar there when he entered the room. Skylar was holding Aslan's hand tightl
"Then what about your mother?"Aslan immediately fell silent. It had never occurred to him that someone would ask about his mother. Not even Mario, his longtime friend, had ever asked about her. Mario only knew that Aslan had a father and an older brother. Mario had never asked where his mother was,
