"Colten, are you okay" Jake asked in a concern tone with a concern expression as he sat on the bed beside Colten.

They just came back after visiting Even. He came to check on Col after Minna told him he wasn't doing okay and didn't eaten lunch or dinner. And this was before he went see Lvan, to ask him where to find Chris as he wasn't in his room when he checked right when he came back but James informed him that the alpha was busy. 

And so, he changed his destination to Colten's room. That's when he met Minna in the hallway and she told him about Colten.

Right away, he got worried and rushed to see him.

Colten who has covered himself with the quilt when Jake came in slowly uncovered himself and sat up. A sweet smile spread on his lips when he saw Jake. "Hi"

"Hi" Jake replied. Colten looked like he has just woken up after a long nap.

Colten suddenly covered his mouth, swearing, "Oh shit! My mouth must be stinking" Jake didn't think so. Everything about Col felt fresh and in a nice way. He didn't smell any stinky smell from his mouth so he was a little confuse. Well, it might have also be the distance between them.

Colten scooted off the bed and rushed to the bathroom to clean his mouth and wipe his face. When he came back, Jake met him mid way in the room and pulled Colten by the back of his neck and smashed his lips on his.

Colten's mouth tasted like lemon. It was probably because he used the new lemon mouth wash he bought a day ago.

Colten wrapped his hand around Jake's waist and pulled him closer, thrusting his tongue into his mouth. They kissed, licked and sucked as they explored each other's mouth and lips. 

They went on and on and only broke apart when they both needed air, that was like 3minutes later.

They were both breathing heavily. Jake laid his head on Colten's chest, gasping for air.

"How was your day?" Colten asked when he finally caught his breath. "Good, I guess" Jake replied, still panting. "I'm glad to hear that" Colten said and kissed Jake's hair, stroking it. "What about you? Are you okay?" Jake asked, when he could finally breath normal. Colten's mind took him back to this morning when Chris came to see him. The words he said played perfectly according to order in mind.

He thought it was a bad idea to tell Jake about Chris's visit and what he said because it would worry the little guy. And he didn't want to worry Jake, that was the last thing he wanted to do at this morning.

He hugged Jake tightly as he responded with a lie, "I'm fine" the truth was, he wasn't. He has been thinking about Chris and what he said this morning. He thought about it all day and feel asleep without even realising.

"I see. As long as you are okay" Jake hugged him back. Colten knew Jake didn't believe him when he said he was fine and was a little glad that Jake didn't comment on it because he didn't know if he would be able to lie the second time.

"He wants to talk now?" Lvan asked Sebastian in disbelieve. "Yes, old man Secks wants to talk. He said he will tell us everything and in return, we protect him from Chris" The old man has refused to say anything since he was imprisoned and now, all of a sudden he wants to talk? Just what did Chris do to the old man?

"Okay, then, tell him we will talk tomorrow night. Tonight just isn't possible" Right, it wasn't possible because he has planned a dinner date with Tristan, in their room. There was just no way he was going to cancel the plans. Old man Secks just had to bear whatever threat Chris used on him.

"Okay, I'll go inform him of your decision"

"Oh, and reply this threat to him, if he dare lie to us, I will personally hand him over to Chris"

Sebastian chuckled, "I'm sure he wouldn't dare lie to us after this threat. The man was basically trembling when he mentioned Chris's name"

"Well, that's good news. I'm sure I will love to see him tremble again" said lvan with a smile. oh, yes he would love to see it. Old man Secks always had this calm, brave look filled with pride on his face. And to think he knew how to show fear, oh, lvan would love to see that look.

"Then, I'll take my leave now" Sebastian said and left. With a victorious smile on his face, lvan went back to taking care of the last paper work. 

While he was reading through, a knock sounded out. He placed the arranged documents down and looked up at the door.

"Come in" the door opened and Jake streamed into the office. He bowed slightly as he said, "Alpha" he addressed Lvan formally because Lvan hasn't giving him the right to call him informally. 

"No need to call me that. Lvan will do just fine" and he got permission. Jake smiled brightly at Lvan. Lvan covered his face with his hand. Too bright. Jake had a bright smile just like Tristan and Alan. What was up with that? Were they trying to destroy the eyes of the people in the house?

But......why was Jake here? He knew he was afraid of alphas due to his past experiences with some jerk alphas he was going to find soon and kill them all, yet he came here. 

What was so important to him that he overcame his fears for? Or should he say, tried to overcome his fears for?

Because of Jake's fear for alphas, he kept some distance from him when talking to him or when they met each other. So he was a little surprised to see him here. A little? He wasn't a little surprised. He was very surprised.

"What can I do for you?"

"Actually........" Lvan could see Jake was hesitating to say whatever he wanted to. He didn't mind. Jake could take all the time he needed.

After a few seconds, Jake finally brought himself to say whatever he wanted to say, "I wanted to know where Chris is. He wasn't in his room when I went there" Jake said with so much concern and fear. Jake cared about Chris after all. He presumed with a smile.

"Oh, Chris.....He left" Lvan watched as Jake's eyes widened in shock. He could see fear and regret in his eyes, "And where did he go? Did he leave town?" Lvan shook his head. He was starting to feel bad for Jake. Poor guy.

"No, he didn't leave town. He just moved out to stay with Dr Jones" lvan said. "Why?" Jake's voice sounded depressed, regretful and sad. Lvan didn't know if it was a good idea to break it to him, but he did it anyways, "Is because of you and Colten"
