Mag-log inXander was teaching Jordan how to sled, and Jonas was taking off his skates when the news came, via Xander's phone, which he had kept in Jonas's bag."Babe, your phone keeps ringing," Jonas said. "It sounds like someone's calling and it's urgent.""Just accept it, baby, I can't keep my hands off Jordan," Xander replied, then returned his attention to his son.Jonas took the phone and looked at the screen. The name "Mom" flashed. Jonas's heart beat faster.Jonas wanted to call Xander, but he had already walked away with Jordan and looked very preoccupied."Hello, Mrs. Riordan," Jonas said softly. "It's Jonas. Xander's out and—""Jonas," Mrs. Riordan called hoarsely. "Doctor Jonas.""No, no, just call me like you always do, Mrs. Riordan," Jonas said evasively. "W-would you like to speak to Xander directly? I'll call him." Could you wait a moment, or I'll—""What's he doing?" Mrs. Riordan cut Jonas off."He's teaching Jordan how to play sky, ma'am," Jonas replied."Jordan," Mrs. Riordan
"They moved to Kyoto," Liam said with a faint smile. "Kaji was hospitalized for three weeks and just returned home yesterday. He said he had nightmares about being eaten by wolves."Xander and Jonas laughed.Since the incident on the mall rooftop, Kano Satoru's family has not been heard from again. Even Emiko, a socialite, has withdrawn. Her social media presence is quiet and she rarely makes a splash.Jonas was having a normal, quiet day at the hospital, until Kenji called him this morning."Doctor Jonas, I was just looking through the files of the doctors who work at this hospital, and I almost jumped when I saw that your contract in this ward only has five weeks left," Kenji said."Ah, yes, I almost forgot about that too," Jonas said."Do you still want to continue your contract here, Doctor Jonas?" Kenji asked. "Because whatever your decision, we have to process it quickly."Jonas thought for a moment. "I think I need to talk to Xander and Jordan about this first, sir. Could you
"Follow me," Xander said, his voice sharp as a katana's blade.Kano swallowed. He didn't say anything else yet, just greeted Xander and Jonas, who were having dinner at a restaurant inside the mall.Emiko and Kaji trailed behind him, like two puppies who had just received a cold bath as punishment for falling into a stinky sewer.Xander put his arm around Jonas' shoulders and led him out of the restaurant. Behind them were Liam and Leo, followed by Kano, his two children, and a bodyguard."Leo, please make sure there's no one on the mall rooftop," Xander said. "We're going up.""Yes, Alpha Xander, I'll be right there," Leo replied swiftly. He sped off ahead.Liam led the way, showing the way to the rooftop."Dad, what's going on?" Emiko whispered. "Why is everything so dramatic? We're not shooting a movie, are we?""Shut up!" Kano hissed. "Learn to keep your mouth shut from now on, Emi!"Kaji pulled Emiko back to walk beside him. Emiko was sometimes rude and annoying. That's why she
"I don't accept things like this," Jonas said firmly. "Take the car back to Mr. Satoru.""B-but—" the courier delivering the shiny black Cadillac Escalade fidgeted, cold sweat beading on his forehead. "I was only told to deliver this car to you, Doctor Jonas. My boss will fire me if I bring back this car to the showroom. "Jonas snorted angrily. He turned to Xander, who had been watching."What about this?" Jonas asked. "This is ridiculous!""I'll take care of it, babe," Xander said with a smirk. He took the car keys from the courier."You can go and get this," Xander said, handing him a wad of cash. "Thank you for delivering this car." The courier quickly left after bowing and thanking him repeatedly.Xander took out his phone, took pictures of the beautiful car from several angles, and scrolling, then typed something on it."Yup! It's done!" Xander said, putting his arm around Jonas's shoulder and leading him into the apartment. "Let's eat. I'm so hungry.""Babe, what about that c
"The drink must have been laced with something that made me dizzy," Xander said irritably. "When I went to wait for Farid in the parking lot, a man drove my car and said something about Farid that I couldn't quite make out. I was already passed out by the time I got to the car.""And what happened next? Where did the man take you?" Jonas asked impatiently."A hotel on the outskirts of Tokyo," Xander said, looking very annoyed this time. "I was lying naked, covered in an itchy blanket that smelled too much of bleach, and a woman slid her legs over my thighs and clung to me like a leech!"Jonas scowled and pulled his hand away from Xander's arm. "Hmm, I guess you had quite a good time, huh?"Xander shook his head and frowned. "Not at all. My head hurt like I'd been beaten, my body was sticky, and the woman smelled of cheap, strong, fruity perfume. Ugh!""Then what did you do?" Jonas asked."I forced the woman to wake up, and she turned out to be drunk too. She claimed she'd been paid a
"No! I refuse to believe it based on photos like these," Jonas said angrily. "I'm sure this is a trap set by people with malicious intent.""Yes, Doctor Jonas," said Leo, a Gamma sent by Liam to help Jonas handle Xander's affairs. "I've been a bodyguard for the Riordan family since I was a teenager, and I know a little bit that Alpha Xander wouldn't do something like that if it weren't for someone's trap. He's a very guarded person."Jonas nodded. It had been eight hours since he received the indecent photos of Xander and a woman, and although shocked and angry, Jonas remained clear-headed."There were two of them, but only the woman was awake. Look at the corner of her eye, she glanced at the camera, and here she is looking away. That means there were at least two other people in the room. Probably the cameraman and the person who helped lift Xander and position him like this," Jonas said. "Xander is tall and big, he won't be easily moved or shifted by just one person." Leo contacte
Xander's POV.I wouldn't have returned if Jonas and Jordan weren't with me. So, I stayed, even though Jonas was still very cold to me.There were times when I was desperate, searching for a way to melt the ice in the heart of the Omega I loved. But I couldn't give up now. I was ready to sacrifice e
"Do you know him, Doctor Jonas?" Uncle Shiro turned to me, who was still observing Xander, who was now asleep, after I stitched up the open wound on his back and treated all the bruises, scratches, and contusions on his body. Uncle Shiro took care of the two wolves that kidnapped Jordan and threw
"Dad, why are you daydreaming?" Jordan asked. He touched my arm, making me jump and immediately turn to him. "Yes, son?" "You've been daydreaming since earlier, Dad," Jordan said. He touched the book on my lap. "You haven't read it since earlier." I looked at the book, still on the same page sin
Jonas PoVSomething is strange. For almost a week, every day, someone has sent me vanilla latte and chocolate filled wheat bread every afternoon. The sender is always different and they said they don't know who ordered all of that to be sent to me. "Doctor Jonas, your coffee and bread," said nurs
