It was late at night, and Mathew still hadn't come home. He'd texted Silius earlier, saying he'd be a little late and telling him to go to bed without waiting. It was… unusual.

Mathew was the obsessive type — if he went more than half an hour without seeing Silius, he'd usually spiral. But now? He'd been gone for half a day.

Still, Silius tried not to overthink it. Maybe Mathew was finally stepping out of his anxious shell, learning to give their relationship some breathing room. That had to be

  • The alpha's forbidden desire   chapter 140

    It had been almost half an hour since Silius had gone into the bathroom.At first, Mathew hadn't thought much of it.Silius had been unusually quiet that evening, but that wasn't entirely strange. Sometimes he preferred to be left alone, especially when something was bothering him. Mathew had learned not to push him when he needed space.But thirty minutes was too long.Mathew stood outside the bathroom door, staring at it with a growing crease between his brows.“Silius?” he called.There was no answer.He knocked gently.“Baby, are you okay?”Silence.Mathew waited several seconds before knocking again.“You've been in there for quite some time.”Still nothing.Concern replaced his patience.He reached for the handle and tried it.To his surprise, the door opened easily.“I'm coming in, okay?”Mathew pushed the door open.The first thing that struck him was the cold.The shower was running, filling the room with a steady rush of water, yet the atmosphere somehow felt colder than it

    The next day arrived slow and golden, filtering thin light through the canvas of the tent. Silius was still sleeping when Mathew slipped in behind him, arms circling his waist, lips brushing warm against the back of his neck. A smile tugged at Silius's mouth before he was even fully awake, and he turned into the embrace without thinking, wrapping his arms around Mathew in return, still half-lost in sleep.It didn't stay peaceful for long. Mathew began pressing kisses to his face — cheek, jaw, nose, forehead, anywhere he could reach with the kind of relentless enthusiasm that made it impossible for Silius to keep a straight face. He dissolved into laughter almost immediately, squirming half-heartedly against the onslaught."Mathew... stop," he managed between giggles."How was your sleep?" Mathew asked, entirely unrepentant, propping himself up on one elbow to look down at him."Apart from my sore back," Silius said, stretching with an exaggerated groan, "pretty good."They broke camp

    Dinner had long since been eaten and forgotten, the plates set aside somewhere in the dark beyond the firelight. Now the two of them sat wrapped in the fire's warmth, Mathew settled on a flat rock with Silius comfortable in his lap, a bag of marshmallows balanced between them and two long sticks angled carefully over the flames.Mathew's arms stayed wrapped securely around Silius's waist the entire time, his head resting against the crook of Silius's neck. Every so often he pressed a soft, lingering kiss to Silius's nape, unhurried, as if he had nowhere else in the world to be and nothing better to do than savor this — the fire, the dark, the quiet."This feels so nice," Silius murmured, tipping his marshmallow slightly to keep it from catching. "So peaceful.""We should do this often," he added, and meant it more than he expected to."Mm." Mathew pressed another kiss to his neck, lazy and content. "I'm totally down for it."The fire cracked and settled. Somewhere behind them, the riv

    They came out of the treeline into sound before they came into sight — the low, constant murmur of moving water, threading through the trees like something alive. Silius had been half-dozing against Mathew's back for the last stretch of the walk, lulled by the rhythm of his steps, and it was the change in that sound that pulled him back to himself."We're here," Mathew said, and set him down with the same easy care he did everything physical, like Silius weighed nothing at all.Silius straightened, blinked, and then went very still. "Woaah."The trees opened onto a wide, flat clearing along the bend of a river, the water catching the last gold of the afternoon and throwing it back in broken, shifting pieces. Rock shelved down gently to the water's edge. Somewhere upstream, the current caught against stone and murmured over it."I told you there's a nice place here," Mathew said, entirely too pleased with himself."Who would've thought," Silius said, turning in a slow circle, "there'd

    The trail had long since stopped being a trail and become, in Silius's opinion, an elaborate form of punishment disguised as a hiking date."Are we there yet?" he asked, for what felt like the hundredth time, his chin resting on Mathew's shoulder, arms looped loosely around his neck."Five more minutes," Mathew said, not even out of breath, as if carrying a fully grown man on his back up a mountainside was something he did before breakfast."You've been saying that for an hour now.""Why are you complaining when I'm the one doing all the work?" Mathew shifted him higher with an easy hitch of his arms, fingers hooked securely beneath Silius's knees. "The one giving Silius a piggyback, might I add.""I'm doing plenty," Silius said, affronted. "I'm doing the important job of annoying you the entire way.""Mm. Very important job. Someone has to.""And don't forget," Silius added, tightening his arms around Mathew's neck just enough to make his point, "this was all your idea. Going on this

    On the other side, Silius walked toward Mathew's office, his pace unhurried, his mind still tangled with the events of the past few days."Hey~" Dan's voice caught him before he reached the door, that familiar, unbothered smile already in place.Silius didn't slow down. "You're not even gonna greet me now?" Dan asked, falling into step beside him, entirely unbothered by the cold shoulder.Silius glanced at him briefly. "You need something?""I just wanna clear the misunderstanding I've created the other day," Dan said, tone light, deceptively casual. "Mathew and I are—""My husband cleared it," Silius cut in flatly. "You don't have to worry about that." He kept walking, voice steady and unbothered. "I trust my husband."Dan fell quiet for a moment, something calculating passing behind his half-lidded eyes. Then, softer, almost to himself: "Is that so...?""Yes," Silius said simply. "If there's nothing else, I'll get going." He paused just long enough to add, pointed and deliberate, "

    I took few steps backwards as the men stepped forward steadily. Jason snarled. His arms dropped till he held one of my hands in a death grip. I had hoped it wouldn't come to this. The nearest patrol point was miles from where we were. We had ventured deeper into the woods today. Not even a scream ca
