And this was the scene Rex was watching. A happy in loving scene of mates together. He couldn't help but get jealous. He wanted this. He wanted what Lvan and Tristan had. What Jake, Colten and Chris had. He wanted what they had.

But he also knew, he would never get it. Never.

"By the way, where's Roy? And is Even still not here? Also, I want to know why......" Marie's gaze fell on Tristan and she kept quiet, changing the words she almost said.

She didn't want Tristan to find out she was about to talk about the pills.

Bad memories, Tristan earned from hearing about them (The pills).

" I also want to know why he left and when he's coming back" she said. Not looking at Tristan in case he caught on what she really wanted to talk about.

And she ask the question none of them wanted to answer. They didn't want to tell her about Even's illness, not yet.

"What's this mom, you love Even that much? I'm so jealous" Lvan looked down, tears streamed down. They were so shocked. What game was lvan playing? And how come he could blink tears so easily. When did Lvan become expert in crying?

"Uh, what's this about lvan?" Realising the game his mate was playing, Tristan played alone. Caressing Lvan's hand with a concern look, he said, "Oh my, he look so upset, what do we do?" He then turned to look at Marie with that concern look. Marie beuan to panicked, not knowing what to do or say.

"I.....I'm sorry Lvan" what the heck was up with this situation anyway? Didn't anyone think something was up? Marie looked around and realised everyone was watching Lvan with a concern look. Even Rex and Alan.

For God sake! His son was too old for this!!

She cleared her throat and said, "Okay, fine. I'm sorry lvan, let's not talk about Even anymore, huh?" Marie said with a smile. In a flash, lvan was giving Marie a sweet smile with a victory hidden behind it.

Marie who didn't realise she had been played breathed out in relieve at her son's change of mood. He looked happy, that was good. And why was he even jealous? Marie loved them all equally, didn't he know that?

"Anyway, I've decided to take Rex with me when I leave tonight" they all turned to look at Rex. The kid hasn't been in a better mood since he came back from Rid Pack. They didn't know what happened to him there but they could see it was nothing good. They wanted to know so bad, maybe they could help him. But Rex wouldn't say a thing.

Rex lifted up his head and smiled at them, "He needs some air" Marie stated, "Well, there's a lot of air in this house" lvan said with a frown. He didn't want his brother going anywhere and he wanted to know what was bothering him. 

Because of this stupid mood he was in, he couldn't even find it in his heart to punish him for leaving with Roy and Corey without informing him.

Yes, the punishment was still on.

"Lvan, your brother needs his own space" Marie said calmly, "And he's got it. There's a lot of space in this house. There are about 18 rooms in this house. He can just choose the farthest away from everyone"

"Lvan....

" He's not leaving mom"

"Lvan!!" Marie yelled. They've never seen her this angry and she has never yelled before. They were a little scared, of course except Lvan who was glaring at his mother. He wasn't going to let her have her way just because she yelled at him for the first time. No damn way.

"Lvan" Rex's voice brought lvan out of his thoughts. He turned to look at his brother who had a smile on his face. He looked exhausted, hurt, sad and disappointed. For the first time, Lvan could see the pain he was going through.

He was so going to kill whoever caused his brother pain.

"I need this Lvan" Rex exclaimed. Slowly, lvan nodded, accepting defeat. His brother needed this.

"Okay, you can go with mom, but you will call me every day. Every single day, morning, noon and night time. Do you get it?" Rex nodded with a smile.

Tristan kissed Lvan's cheek and said, " I'm proud of you" lvan smiled at his mate.

"But I don't want uncle Rex to leave" Alan suddenly voiced out. Everyone stopped smiling. Tristan pulled out of Lvan's arms and hugged his son, "Well, I don't want that either" Tristan looked at Rex who was looking at him with a sad expression, "But we have to"

"And anyway, he promised to call three times a day. He will keep that promise, right Rex?"

Alan pulled out of his dad's arms, looking at his uncle Rex, "Uncle Rex?"

"Right, I promise to call three times a day and I will always talk with you when I call" Rex promised. With a beaming look, Alan nodded and hummed. They stared at the kid with a smile on their faces.

Even sat on the bed in the master bedroom, leaning against the bedframe to support his back as he held his phone in his hand. He was watching a Chinese historical movie. It wasn't romance. There was no love just war and the use of magic.

He looked much better but his beautiful dark blue eyes were still burning with impatient, longing and anger.

He woke up early in the morning..... well, it was more like he just got up from bed early in the morning. He couldn't sleep all night thinking about a certain someone.

After getting up, he then hit the bath, cleaned himself up and wore new pair of cloths. A sea blue T-shirt with a white pigeon drawn on it. Going well with the pair of white pants he wore. And then, he combed his dried hair neatly.

Afterwards, he ate the breakfast Debby brought. He did thanked the woman when she brought the food and she smiled and welcomed him. He only ate after Debby left and he did eat everything she brought. He was kind of surprised but he figured it was a given considering he wasn't alone.

He then went back to his room and decided to kill time while watching a movie. And that's why he was in his room, the master bedroom, seated on the bed with his phone in his hand, watching a movie.

He hasn't threw a tantrum since morning neither has he heard anything from his wolf. His wolf was quiet too. It was just like that day after Roy left. He thought it was because of Roy but that wasn't the case. It seemed his wolf had noticed the new addicting scent and felt the presence of that person, before him (Roy), that was why his wolf was so quiet. That was why is wolf was behaving. It took him a day to realise that.

He believed he was able to get up, wasn't panicking or going mad because of this person. Because until now, he could still smell his scent and presence. He was there, with him. And that acknowledgment didn't make him lonely.

Although he hasn't spoken to him since morning,

He knew

He was there.
