Chapter 126: Ch 126: Surely it’s not the Sa?- Part 4
The silence around us felt stifling. I had not realized just how distant we both had gotten from each other.
But one look at Theo told
that he was not nervous because of our distance, but because my room filled with my scent.
The logical thing to do here was to send the alpha back because it was not right to invite an unmated alpha into my room as an unmated oga.
But my instincts and my will seed to disappear when it ca to Theo, and I acted like a brainless oga.
And the sa happened this ti as well.
As soon as I looked into Theo’s eyes, I knew that I had lost this round.
"Please co in. You are here in my room after a long ti, right? You can make yourself comfortable in here."
I told Theo, and he looked startled.
"H-Huh-? Oh yeah-! It has been a long ti since I ca here. Your... pheromones are all over this room."
Theo told , and I felt a giggle escape my throat.
"Of course. Isn’t that a given because this is my room? I bet your room slls like you as well."
I told Theo, and he paused. His eyes widened, and he stuttered to get words out.
"M-My room? Ah yes, it does sll like ... I think. I an, I never noticed that before, so I cannot tell. A-anyway, what can I help you with? No wait-! I was the one who asked to co in."
Theo sounded nervous as he walked toward my bed before his knees collided with the fra, and he fell face-first into the soft bed.
He buried his face into the pillow so that I wouldn’t have to see his embarrassed face.
I only laughed at this behavior, but Theo looked beyond embarrassed.
"P-Please stop laughing. This is not funny. Ugh, I feel so embarrassed."
Theo spoke out loud, but none of this was ant to be heard by . I pretended I did not hear most of it as I sat beside him.
The room was filled with silence that I broke after a while.
"It has been so ti since we were together like this, right? I just feel like life has gotten pretty... hectic lately. It’s one thing after another."
I told the alpha, and Theo nodded.
"Yeah. By the way, Kyle, do you really have to go back to being a hunter? Can’t you stay with
as you are? I promise I will do everything in my power to make you happy."
Theo asked... almost begged, with his wide eyes looking at .
Looking at him made
feel bad, and I almost agreed to anything he asked of . But then I caught myself and thought about all that had happened.
"I... cannot promise that. I know that I don’t owe the world anything and I can retire, but I don’t want to. Sothing in
wants to look more into the topic of dungeons and such."
I told Theo, and his look told
that he did not understand what I ant.
But he was not going to judge
either. He was just that kind of person, and I respected him for it.
After looking at Theo for a while, I found that I could no longer look at him. So I turned my back to him as I decided to tell him more bad news.
"Theo, I will be heading to another dungeon soon. It’s near an inactive volcano, and I might be gone for a week soon. Just make sure to take care of yourself and this store for
in the anti."
I told Theo, and I felt him pause as he reached toward .
"Y-You are going again? But why?"
Theo asked in a small voice. He sounded betrayed, and I felt bad about telling him more bad news.
But I also did not want to leave without telling him anything.
"Don’t think that I am leaving forever or anything. I will still co back after a week at the most."
I told Theo as I turned to take a look back. But Theo seed to have gone quiet as he gave
a blank look.
Then, he finally spoke up, but his voice sounded blank.
"You are going to co back? Are you sure about that? How can you be so sure? I... will you even listen to
this ti if I tell you not to go?"
Theo asked , and I felt my words die down in my throat.
Theo sounded serious when he asked
this, but I felt like I had no reply left to give him. The alpha just scoffed as he tightened his arms around .
"Well, it doesn’t matter what I say anyway. You are still going to do what you want. In that case, I will also do what I want."
The alpha told , and I felt goosebumps appear all over my body. Sothing about the way Theo spoke made
shiver.
"Hey, Theo—"
"Don’t think about it too much. I now know the real enemy I have, but that’s not sothing you need to be worried about. You should just close your eyes and go to sleep."
The alpha holding on to
told , but a part of
knew that I could not let things end this way. But before I could speak more, I felt sleep taking over my senses.
"Ugh, Theo... this is not... over..."
I told him, but Theo just chuckled as he kept patting my head.
"Just go to sleep now. And thank you for showing
the errors of my ways."
The alpha told , but I was already half asleep by now to be able to tell whether what I heard was the truth or whether he was just speaking for the sake of speaking.
Whatever the case was, I was able to relax myself and forget about all the ss.
And the next morning, when I woke up, Theo was not in my bed or my room.
