I returned from the Neutral dimension. Lately, I've been spending a lot of time there to calm myself and stabilize the newfound powers I received after the awakening I experienced. However, my current goal isn't my home in this human world. Right now, what I want to see the most is my soulmate, the one who makes me strive hard to restrain myself.I immediately rush to her house, and it's not difficult for me to jump straight through the window that she didn't even lock on the second floor where her room is located. I sit on the window sill, looking at Aurel, who is sound asleep under a thick blanket. I realize she might be disturbed by the gust of wind that could disrupt her sleep, so I quickly descend from the window and close it again.I lean against the wall and continue watching her, engulfed in the strong scent that fills the room. Just inhaling it makes my entire body react intensely. I can even clearly see the rhythm of her heartbeat and her steady breaths. Right now, I yearn t
Silence between us makes it increasingly difficult for me to restrain Alpha from rebelling. Right now, I can only gaze at Aurel's face, which is close to mine. I keep stroking her face, making her look comfortable. Eventually, I decide to give Alpha a slight chance to avoid her rebelling within me, to suppress her thirst for Aurel.I tilt Aurel's chin up to make her look at me again, and just as she's about to ask what I want to say, I lean in. One of my eyes starts glowing gray, the color of our combined souls—my soul and Alpha's soul. I instantly feel the warm breath from Aurel wash over my face, her lips sweet and soft as I press mine against them. Aurel is slightly surprised by my sudden kiss.However, she soon follows the rhythm of my lips. I start to move them, sipping at her lower lip gently. I extend my other hand to pull her waist closer, our bodies pressing against each other. Even this simple touch makes my heart race so fast, causing both pain and an intense ticklish sensa
I'm beginning to think that I should stop it right now before I completely lose control. But as I'm about to break our lip lock, Aurel tightens her grip on the jacket I'm wearing, not allowing me to move away even slightly. I'm slightly surprised when Aurel continues to kiss me passionately, sucking my lips forcefully and slipping her tongue between them.I'm still trying to hold back so that the Alpha doesn't take over me."Aurel, I really need to stop this now," I say in between our kisses. But it seems that Aurel isn't listening at all, until I finally grip her shoulders, breaking our lip lock. In that moment, I can see the disappointment in Aurel's eyes, but then she appears shocked and tries to sit up."I'm sorry, did I push you too far?" Aurel asks, looking guilty. I then pull Aurel back to sit on my lap. She seems hesitant to meet my gaze."I just don't want to lose control, Aurel. That's why we need to stop before it goes any further," I say, making Aurel look at me with a que
Once again, I wake up without Gray by my side. I remain silent, gathering my senses before attempting to start my morning routine. I exhale a long breath, remembering what we did last night, which immediately prompts me to touch my slightly swollen and warm lips with my fingertips.Even now, in my bed, I can still sense Gray's lingering scent. I exhale my frustration, not knowing what possessed me last night to almost force Gray to attack me like that. I push back the covers, realizing I can't keep daydreaming like this. I need to get ready for school, or Rex will start complaining and whining about my habitual lateness.My bike has been in the repair shop for the past two days, and I have to be picked up by Rex again, which is annoying. For some reason, I'm more comfortable riding my bike without having to hear Rex's morning chatter. I start taking off my clothes one by one and head into the bathroom. The water hitting my body triggers memories of Gray's warm touches all over me. Jus
I immediately smiled upon seeing Maudy in front of me. "Since when did you come in?" I asked, unaware of her arrival. Annoyed, Maudy clicked her tongue before finally sitting down in the chair across from me."It's been a few minutes, I saw you smiling at your phone all by yourself. I guess you're exchanging messages with someone, considering how radiant your face looks," Maudy said, to which I only replied with a smile, refraining from telling her that I was actually exchanging messages with Gray."What's up?" I asked, causing Maudy to glance at the book in front of me momentarily."Are you busy?" she inquired."Yes, I have morning classes. Maybe they'll start in a few minutes, and after that, I have two more classes to attend. Why?" I asked when Maudy suddenly started looking for me."But not just that, I need your help," Maudy said, making me furrow my brows and look at her questioningly."Why do you need my help?" I asked to make sure."We can't talk about it here. What if I wait
As expected, this was incredibly challenging to complete. The books seemed unaffected, as if their number hadn't diminished at all despite the hours we spent organizing them. At this point, I had to muster the courage to climb the ladder to arrange some books on the higher shelves."I'm afraid of slipping from this ladder," I admitted, managing to pick up three books. I didn't dare take too many since these books were heavy and thick."Oh God, protect me," I muttered to myself as I began ascending the first step of the ladder. Technically, the steps weren't very high, but once I stood at the top and looked down, I was certain I wouldn't be able to climb back up if I came down. So, I focused only on the shelf in front of me. On my first attempt, I managed to conquer my fear. I went back to the table, grabbed more books, and pushed the ladder towards the shelf again. Unintentionally, my hand got closer to Ramon, who was still sleeping.I hoped he would just ignore me. Alright, after thi
Finally, after my insistence, Gray agreed to let me sit in the seat next to him. I didn't know what he was thinking when he came up with the idea of driving with me sitting on his lap earlier."Rex?" Gray asked as he resumed driving his car, making sure there wasn't any unpleasant smell he referred to lingering around me."It seems he had something else to attend to. He asked me to go home first," I replied, causing Gray to nod. He then turned to look at me, pushing my hair aside and proceeded to hold my hand, playing with his thumb on my palm. I just smiled. Somehow, Gray's small gestures made me feel happy."Have you eaten?" Gray asked, making me shake my head."Just had a few pieces of bread to fill my stomach when I was at the cafeteria. I didn't even have a chance to eat properly since Maudy dragged me to the library," I answered, making Gray click his tongue in annoyance."Ah, I should have warned her not to drag someone along like that," Gray said, seemingly irritated by Maudy'
I had just put Aurel to sleep when suddenly the door to my room opened, revealing Brenda and Rex standing at the doorway, irritating me immediately."Can't you guys let me rest for a moment?" I said, while looking down at Aurel who was curled up in my arms."Leave Aurel for now. We have to go to the Plantae Territory," Brenda said, causing me to raise an eyebrow at her."Why do I have to go to that forbidden area?" I asked, because I had only been allowed to cross the boundaries of the Neutral dimension so far. Could it be that Brenda had reported something to the king over there?"What did you report to your beloved father over there?" I questioned her."Come on, Gray. We can't just let you continue like this. We need assistance from them," Brenda said, causing me to peel back the blanket covering part of my body. I moved slowly so as not to wake Aurel, who was sleeping soundly."We'll talk outside. I don't want my soulmate to wake up just because of your pointless chatter," I said,
