Mated to Four Alphas Chapter 189: Night out - 6

Silas’s POV

"Silas, I don’t know if you’ve noticed or not, but let confess one thing. I’m interested in you. And this interest isn’t like a friend or a fan. I’m interested in you—like a lover."

"I want to get to know you. I want to know what you like. I want to know what you hate. I want to stand by your side in every problem. I want to see the world with you. I want to spend my whole life with you. I want to grow old with you."

"You know, Silas, I think that Oracle from our childhood—the one that said we four will share one male Oga—I don’t think it’s true. Because I don’t want to share you with anyone. If you are our fated mate, I want to keep you to myself."

I was listening silently to Theron because I didn’t know how to respond now, when he was confessing his feelings.

He didn’t say directly, "I love you," but everything he said ant the sa.

I was checking earlier if he loves . But... do I love him? The reason why I was checking. Because I didn’t care before if anyone had feelings for or not.

And I think I had a hunch that he liked , because he used to flirt with before too.

But at that ti, in my eyes, he was my twin brother’s mate. That’s why I chose not to respond to his feelings.

But after finding out that he’s not my brother’s mate, I kind of felt relieved—and hearing how he really feels about makes feel like jumping to the sky. That’s how happy I am.

"Silas, I won’t force you to accept my feelings, but I don’t want your rejection either."

And who says sothing like that? That he won’t force to accept his feelings, but he also doesn’t want my rejection?

Like he’s basically telling I have to say yes to him?

"Are you confessing to ?" I asked.

"Didn’t I make it clear? Oh wait, I didn’t say those three magical words... I love you. Happy now?"

"Do you think that after hearing those so-called magical words, I’ll just accept your feelings?"

"Are you rejecting , Silas?"

"It’s not like I’m rejecting you, it’s just that I need so ti to think."

"Oh, that’s how it is. Okay then, I’ll give you one week. Give your answer after one week."

Saying that, he lay down on the bed and covered himself with a blanket. He patted the space beside him, telling to lie down too.

So I lay down. And as soon as I did, I suddenly heard the sound of a phone ringing—soone was calling .

When I grabbed my mobile and saw the ti, it was already past midnight—and Orian was calling . So I quickly answered the call.

(Silas) "What happened, Orian?"

As I asked, a loud crying sound reached my ears—it was Velric’s sobbing voice.

(Silas) "Hello?"

(Orian) "Silas, can you co back right now? Because we can’t handle this."

(Silas) "What happened? And... is that Velric crying?"

(Orian) "Yes."

Then Orian told everything. That after I left, Atlas and Shine ca over, and the four of them played together.

But as it got dark, Atlas left because his brother was waiting for him, and Shine decided to stay with them. Like usual, they played, ate, and then went to sleep.

But in the middle of the night, Velric suddenly woke up and started calling for .

When he couldn’t find anywhere in the apartnt, he started crying while calling my na.

And it’s been half an hour since he started. No matter what they do, he isn’t stopping. That’s why, in the end, Orian had to call .

(Orian) "Can you talk to him and coax him?"

(Silas) "Yes, give him the phone."

(Velric) "Mumma... sob... sob..."

(Silas) "My boy, why are you crying? What happened? Did you have a nightmare?"

"What happened? Is Velric crying?" Theron whispered, and I nodded.

(Velric) "Mumma, where... sob... where are you? Did you leave ? Please, Mumma, don’t leave ..."

(Silas) "No, Velric, why would I leave? It’s Theron’s fault—he brought here for camping without even asking my permission."

(Velric) "Are you with Daddy right now?"

(Silas) "Yes. Wanna talk to him?"

I was just asking Velric, but suddenly Theron snatched the phone from and started talking.

Theron was laughing a lot while talking, and after five minutes, he handed the phone back to , saying Velric wanted to talk to now.

(Silas) "Velric?"

(Velric) "Mumma, co back ho soon tomorrow."

Huh, he’s not crying now—but that’s great.

(Silas) "Okay, sleep now."

Hearing Velric cry, I really did think about going back.

I had decided that after this call, I was going to tell Theron to take ho because I couldn’t leave the child crying nonstop like that.

But I don’t think we need to go back now, since he’s fine and he’s stopped crying too.

After hanging up the call, I put the mobile on the table and lay down on my back.

As I was lying there, suddenly Theron’s hand ca to rest on my chest and he started patting gently.

"Sleep tight," he said, closing his eyes while still patting , trying to help fall asleep.

So, I started to stroke his hair. And I didn’t even realize when I drifted off.

The next day, because of the birds chirping, my eyes opened—I was awake. After waking up, I glanced to my side and saw Theron was still sleeping.

This was the first ti I’d seen him asleep, I think, and he looked extrely handso.

My hand moved on its own and touched his cheek. But the mont I touched it, he snapped his eyes open, which made flinch.

"Let sleep a little more, Shorty," he mumbled, pulling into his arms and hugging tightly.
