yer’s POV
From childhood, when I saw Orian for the first ti, my heart skipped a beat . I am sure it was love at first sight. I vividly rember when I was on the farm with my dad, but His Majesty also ca there with Orian and Silas. Even though they were twins, I only found Orian attractive and cute. His smile was so innocent and sweet, it lted my heart. I froze at that mont, just seeing him.
That’s why I mustered the courage and smiled at him. That’s when he ca to with his brother, and they talked and played with . Even while playing, I used to pay more attention so that he wouldn’t get hurt. He was so delicate—how could I let him get hurt? That’s why I was always on guard to protect him. Then, it didn’t matter—even if I got hurt while saving him.
If he was fine, that’s all that mattered to . Even though all three of us used to play, Silas was always strong. But Orian—I liked the way he depended on . When my parents died because of illness, His Majesty helped a lot, and Orian used to comfort , even though he was still a kid. After all, I’m three years older than him.
I know my limits very well. There are so things that can’t be yours—just like the moon. You can see it and even give a complint, but if you extend your hand to try to touch the moon, you’ll realize it’s out of your reach. That’s the sa case here. I can only love Orian, but he can never be mine. He is a prince of our pack. It’s impossible for him and to be together.
Because His Majesty did so much for , how am I supposed to show my face to him if he finds out I love Orian? But now, when Silas asked and I glanced into Orian’s eyes, I saw the wait—for my reply. That’s why I said what I was feeling. I first thought it was one-sided love, that only I had feelings for him, which didn’t matter—but he also loves , which makes things different, because Orian is like a god to . Soone I worship.
His face turned all red hearing . He was hot too—I knew he was blushing, but I think he had a fever too because his body felt hot. I slightly touched Orian’s hand and he looked at . When I checked his temperature, he was looking down, but then he looked at again, and just seeing him made my heart beat faster. And it beats only for him.
"Orian, can we talk sowhere else?" I asked, because of course, we usually don’t get ti to talk alone, like last ti. But the main reason was to talk with him—to explain to him that we can’t be together. If I didn’t tell him, and his heart got broken, I don’t want that. I only want Orian happy, at any cost.
"Sure, why not. And Silas, wait for us here," he said. We both stood up as he agreed, and we left after nodding to Silas.
We walked down a street where the shops weren’t luxurious, because farrs aren’t that rich. And if I looked at the difference between us, there were many—like our clothes. His were lavish and luxurious, but mine were three or four years old. That’s why they were even torn, because I’ve been trying to save money. Even if that ans I have to wear torn clothes.
From there, we reached the forest near my farm. There was a bench kept there by my father to sit and relax. Orian sat down on it while his both hands on the bench. But before he could sit, I wiped the bench for Orian.
"Now you can sit," I said, and he sat down.
I stood there without sitting beside him, because I knew it wasn’t my place to sit, especially not beside him. Just then, out of nowhere, he grabbed my hand and I glanced at him.
"Why are you still standing? Co on, sit down." I really didn’t want to sit. I wanted to refuse him, but I couldn’t.
Because who could say no to that cute face? I ended up sitting beside him. We were really close. My heart was pounding in my chest. I hoped Orian couldn’t hear it—because if he did, it would be really embarrassing.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" he asked. I looked at him. His eyes were eting mine, and his face was so close that I nearly forgot I had co here to explain that we can’t be together.
But this orange scent was making lose my mind. I think we were super close—that’s why I could sll his scent so clearly. It was really tempting. Without realizing, I sniffed the air while facing Orian, my eyes closed. And just then, I realized what I had done. I quickly opened my eyes and found Orian already looking at .
He seed shocked. I think he saw sniffing his pheromones just now. I quickly looked away because I didn’t know how to explain it. What if he got angry at without listening? I felt a small hand grip my arm. I quickly looked at him. His hands were on my arm and his eyes were on my face.
"What happened, yer? Why aren’t you saying anything for a while?"
"I’m sorry—I was just lost in thought. And Orian, I really do love you. You don’t know how much i love you." His eyes widened and a shine glimred in them, like he was truly happy to hear it.
"I also love you so much," he said. My heart went crazy hearing this, and excitent stirred in my stomach. Just then, suddenly, Orian stood up from the bench. I didn’t understand where he was going, but just then—
