Tsuyoshi and Azuma are alone again tonight in Tsuyoshi’s room. A heavy silence looms over them but Tsuyoshi decides to stay silent until Azuma finds the words to speak.He did say he wanted to discuss something. I wonder what it is. Maybe he’s still pissed at me after all for the whole Sora incident? No, I already apologized and dispelled the misunderstanding. So then is he mad about something else?Tsuyoshi hears clothes rustling besides him and looks down to see a small key in Azuma’s hand. He looks up and sees the corresponding hole in Azuma’s collar. The key to his collar?“Sen-san… I want to give you the key to my collar so that you can…“ Azuma was tense and turning an intense shade of scarlet.Tsuyoshi knew what he was trying to say and therefore spared him from the embarrassment but his face’s shade was starting to imitate Azuma’s.Azuma wanted him to have t

“Kashira, I have a favor to ask of you. Please hear me out.”Tsuyoshi is in dogeza position and alone with the Kashira in a closed off private room.The Kashira sends a glance in his direction. “What are you being so humble for? It’s rare for you to be on your knees and asking for a favor. The last time you were like this, you begged me to let you join the group after your dad’s death, if I remember correctly. So, what do you need this time?”“Please, give me a raise!” Well, that caught the Kashira off guard.“A raise?”“Yes, sir.”“Ah yes, I almost forgot, you are bonded now. You’re giving off a different scent. You have a mate to take care of, huh?”“Yes, sir.”“Do you intend to start a family in the future?”“Yes, sir.” Tsuyoshi is still keeping his eyes on the floor in a submissive position to

Bang! Minori’s door is slammed in and the politician strolls in arrogantly as if he owns everything in the room, Minori included.“How long do you intend to sustain this personal revolt? I have grown tired of dealing with your whims. Are you trying to starve yourself for a month to prove your love? Don’t be foolish.”“Tell me what you did to Takayuki-san.”“You can’t possibly be in love with him, you’re just deluding yourself. Forget him. Low-class men like him only want young beautiful boys like you for one thing.”“That’s not true.”“It is true. All you are alive for is to bear the Masayoshi family male heirs and for making me a wealthier man. Throw aside everything else that is foolish and unrealistic like your idiotic relationship with this ‘Takayuki’.”The politician’s monologue passes over Minori’s head. He do

Seiji starts to feel sick a few months after Yoshiyuki’s win but decides to not tell him until he returns from Tokyo. He goes to a hospital after he’s been throwing up the contents of his breakfasts and lunches so as to see what is wrong with his health. The doctor walks back in holding a clipboard after the physical examination and wearing a smileless composure as he spoke to Seiji sitting on the edge of the pristine hospital room’s white bed. “Well, I don’t know if you’ll be happy to hear this news or not but you’re one month pregnant.” “Pregnant?” Seiji’s heart leapt out of joy in his heart, it was harder for a Beta to get pregnant. He grinned from ear to ear at the thought of being pregnant with Yoshiyuki’s child. He rubbed his flat stomach fondly. “Yes. Do you have a mate you would like to share this news with or are you planning to raise it alone?” “Yoshiyuki- my mate- is actually in Tokyo right now for a boxing match. He’ll be b

In Takayuki’s office, sitting across from him is a beaten up dirty old man that has been delinquent with his debt payments. When Takayuki stands up from his chair and takes a step toward him, he shuffles backwards and falls down on his ass. He sighs with annoyance and moves in. “This is the third month. I know that you have the money, so what’s taking so long?” He continues shuffling backwards until he can no longer run away with his back against the wall. “I-I need the money because my daughter is getting married,” he stutters hoarsely. “I don’t care. I’m running a business here, you see? Every month that you don’t pay me the money you owe me affects my business. So either pay back everything you owe this month plus interest or your daughter won’t live to see her wedding. Got it?” The old man lets out pathetic whimpers. His body is trembling and his head i
