> "Woah! Did you see that? It was that legendary ’Destiny Star!’ I can’t believe we were so lucky to see that so vividly!"
> "Yeah! Darn it, we should’ve captured it on the phone...the sky looked breathtakingly beautiful! We could have shown it to the other bedridden patients!"
.......
The loud cheering from those two old n standing at a few ters apart from them rejoicing at the sight of the beautiful shooting star brought Kylian back to his senses as he was montarily lost in Zenith’s pitch-black eyes intensely locked into him.
Unlike his usual smug face, Zenith looked very perplexed, with a deeply fearso gaze embedded in his big rolled eyes. Covered in a cold sweat, Zenith didn’t even bother to glance at the star illuminating the endless sky above them, rather he chose to tighten his grip around Kylian’s wrist.
However, even though he was unknowingly drawn into his gaze, Kylian soon recalled his concern about his drifting shoes, which made him imdiately turn his neck behind to see his white sneakers were barely visible from the beach by now! Panicked at the sight, he struggled to break free from his grasp while grunting aloud, "Damn it, let go! What are you doin—"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
But before he could finish his words, Zenith’s loud grunt flinched Kylian, causing a vibrant echo amidst the mild breeze wafting past them. Instead of loosing his grip, Zenith further pulled Kylian back towards him with his dilated eyes darkened in apprehension when he shrieked.
"DID YOU DISGUST MY TOUCH SO MUCH THAT IT MADE YOU WANT TO END YOUR LIFE? EVERYTHING I HAD BEEN DOING NOW WAS ONLY FOR YOUR SAKE, YOU IDIOT! BUT YOU RAN AWAY HERE JUST SO THAT YOU COULD DROWN YOURSELF IN THE SEA? EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN FAIR SHARE OF PAIN IN THIS WORLD...BUT IS DYING THE ONLY OPTION AVAILABLE TO YOU!?"
Zenith’s panicked growl not only winced Kylian but also those two old n flinched hard too, as he used a domineering tone as a Supre Alpha. His voice echoed vibrantly all around that deserted beach, but Kylian was taken aback by his surprisingly sincere concern towards him.
Indeed after talking with Marita, he was riled with guilt and a numb feeling of despair inside him which made the thought cross his mind that what will be the point of his life from now on? Even hearing about the myths of ’destiny star’ he couldn’t think of a wish to long for anymore...
But to think that Zenith, who was a selfish bully who felt amused to look down on other’s miseries was actually panicked from his core at this point with the thought of Kylian self-harming himself made him very stunned.
Yet still, considering his shoes, he thought of explaining the situation later to him while trying to break free from his hold, "Wait, you’re misunderstanding everything. Just let go now I need to—"
"I WILL NOT LET GO!"
But this ti instead of holding Kylian with one hand, he fiercely grabbed him by both his shoulders while fixing his ardent gaze on him when he grumbled. "I can’t believe you would be so selfish to only think of your own pain now! I know you’re hurt and upset, and I know you hate too...but what about your mother, huh? You still have soone who deeply cherishes you, yet still, you want to make her miserable without you?
"How could you act like such a freakin’ coward when I had thought you are a strong guy!? How could you be so fuckin’ selfish to think of leaving her all alone!?"
Every word Zenith squeezed out of his throat sounded sincerely painful, while his dark black eyes were glistening with a hint of tears in them. Just by looking at his dreadful expression, Kylian felt as if he was expressing his own inner thoughts through his grunt...as if he had gone through the pain of being left all alone behind by soone he used to cherish with his all.
But amidst the chaos, Kylian didn’t get the chance to save his branded shoes after all. Slowly, they drifted away with the waves, and realizing it, Kylian angrily grunted at him, "I wasn’t trying to die, you moron!"
"Don’t lie to now with that straight face—"
THWACK!
"Ufff!"
But before Zenith could finish his grunt, he was hit with a strong punch from Kylian, landing perfectly on his abs which made him whimper from pain. Once again getting a vivid idea about Kylian’s tough physical strength from that one punch, Zenith unleashed his arms around him and retreated a few steps backward, while massaging his abdon throbbing from the pain.
"Why would you punch now?"
"Because you are the idiot here who loves to delude himself, like a moron!"
Kylian grumbled ardently, scowling at his whimpering face. "I wasn’t trying to commit suicide, my shoes were floating away with the sea and I was just rushing to pick them up! They were from my mom and the only branded thing she could give as a parting gift when I ca here.
"But thanks you delusional idiot, I lost my shoes too! I told you to let go yet still, you were assuming all those freakin’ things on your own! I am not such a piece of trash who would die like a selfish punk and leave my Mom all alone behind! I do love her and I will do my best for her! So, why would you even think of such a crazy thing!?"
Hearing Kylian’s loud panicked growl, a small smile curved Zenith’s lips, as his expression imdiately reverted back to normal. The anxious look on his face felt strangely relieved now, as he let out a small sad chuckle, "I wish...everyone would think of you when they left soone behind whom they were responsible for protecting.
"I am glad to hear...you aren’t so selfish like them..."
The smile he retained on his lips looked too grim, making his eyes grow dim as if Zenith was barely holding his tears as he spoke.
From the way he was panicked earlier, Kylian sohow assud Zenith must’ve faced a similar situation, which made him wonder, ’Why does he look as if he had experienced this kind of situation before...but he had failed to save that person?’
Taking a few deep breaths while massaging his aching abdon where he was punched, Zenith calmly retorted, "I am sorry for misunderstanding what you were trying to do earlier. As I was concerned out of distress, you might try to do sothing ridiculous like that—"
"Exactly that’s my point. Why are you worried about ?" But cutting in between his words, Kylian tossed his direct curt question at him, while deeply peering into his dim eyes.
"Considering your nature as a heinous bully who used to make others’ lives miserable inside the Academy, why are you going out of your way to help ? You tried to neutralize my heat with your pheromones, injected an inhibitor into , and even brought to Dr. Albert for a dical checkup. But why? Just what do you want from ?"
~ "Can’t you see, Kylian? He’s sincerely worried about you...And the destiny star that crossed above you two, I think it really must be fate..."
When Morpheus tried to growl inside of him, Kylian silenced him with a warning mind-link, "You shut up now, otherwise I will inject myself with another pheromone inhibitor so that you will be asleep again for another few hours."
"..."
~ "Why don’t you tell the truth to this oga? Tell him you are unable to stay away from him, you are concerned for him...and...this is the first ti soone has wrapped you around their finger to the point it’s driving you insane. Tell him that Dr. Albert suspects that you two might be each other’s fated pair!"
Zenith’s wolf Goliath also urged inside his head, as if forcing him to profess his inner turmoils to Kylian.
But Zenith’s mind linked with him while giving off a heavy exhale, "I would rather die before saying sothing embarrassing like this to him now. And, I don’t want to get punched again..."
"What’s wrong now? Why are you silent? I am just asking you the reason. Tell , you must want sothing from too, right?" When Kylian grunted aloud again, it made Zenith lift his gaze up to et his anxious blue eyes, at the sa ti, Dr. Albert’s voice echoed inside his ears.
> "Do whatever it takes to make him want to live again. It doesn’t matter if you trigger his anger, act as his rival, or bother being around him, but you must prevent Kylian from reaching his breaking point if you do not wish sothing terrible to happen to him."
’He’s right. It doesn’t matter whatever thod I choose to keep him by my side. I don’t care if his anger towards becos the driving force of his life...but I do not wish to see soone leaving behind, once again.’
With the thought echoing deeply inside his mind, Zenith took a deep breath before he blatantly answered, "You’re right. I am doing all this because I indeed want sothing from you, so I will be honest.
"I want you to be my pet. And from now onwards, I will be your Master, Kylian Marley."
A dubious smug curved his sharp jawline, when Zenith blurted aloud.
