Maverick was confused and surprised for a moment, but quickly settled himself on the opposite couch, facing the little omega, who was making himself comfortable with leaning his back on the couch, legs crossed, and so were his arms over his chest.

"Let's make an arrangement," Ciel said, and without hearing an answer from Maverick, he immediately continued talking as if he doesn't care about the alpha's opinion. "First, no one should know that we are mates. Since we are going to be separating after a year, then there's no need for our pairing to be known by the people in our circles. Second, let us not interfere with each other's lives. Living together doesn't get us the right intrude or butt into each other's privacy. Our situation is nothing but just like housemates. That's all we were going to be to each other. Besides, I value my privacy and boundaries so much so I hope you won't overstep those. Are all of those clear to you?"

    Watching the little omega acting like an arrogant prince, Maverick couldn’t help but smile with his serious look slowly vanishing.He would be lying if he said that Ciel’s words did not affect him. He was already feeling disappointed because of what Ciel said while they were in the car, and the little omega added more pain to that by simply stating his truth. But Maverick knew that he shouldn’t be feeling such emotions—at least not at that moment. He knew that there would be many times Ciel would tell him his honest opinions and hit him with the truth, which would hurt and disappoint him, and he had already prepared himself for that. He had only forgotten such preparation of his heart because he got too excited and was too joyous with his own delusion that Ciel was somehow getting jealous. But he’s fine already. He was still feeling a bit dejected, but that feeling wasn’t so strong anymore for him to forget the preparations he had made. And aside from conditioning himself to not get a

    A deep sigh came out of Ciel’s mouth the moment Maverick left and closed the door.“Finally,” he murmured, relief filling his face.He once again gazed around, looking at every corner of the room. And at that moment, where he’s finally alone, Ciel did not hold back anymore. He finally let a wide smile appear on his face as he continued to look around.Contrary to what he told Maverick—that the room looked nice and like any other room, as if he wasn't impressed or happy—Ciel was feeling the exact opposite. Just like what he felt upon seeing the exterior of the house and the living room, Ciel was ecstatic to see that even the room was just as he imagined his room in his dream house going to be. From the green mint painted color of the walls, which was the same paint color as the exterior of the house, to the queen-sized bed that was positioned near the double-hung window, the double-door closet, the bedside table with the lamp on it since he had always dreamed of having that because he

    Ciel slept far longer than he had planned because he hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep for two days—the first being the night he became mates with Maverick, and the second being the night after he agreed to live with Maverick.Thankfully, he still had enough time before he got late for afternoon classes.Not wanting to look obvious that he had just awakened, Ciel decided to take a bath. So he grabbed a pair of clothes from his luggage, which he hadn't even arranged in the closet yet, and his towel as well.After taking his necessities with him, Ciel went out of his room. And it was only then that he realized he doesn't know where the bathroom is. So even though he didn't want to talk to Maverick because he was still sensitive and gloomy, he went to the living room and looked for the alpha. He saw Maverick sitting on the couch and was busy doing something on his laptop."Hey," Ciel said in a loud voice to take Maverick's attention.Maverick did not even flinch, which wouldn'

    Just as Ciel wanted, the ride to the bus really only took five minutes though it felt like forever for the dizzy omega.If it wasn't because Ciel had asked, their ride would probably take more than just five minutes-a ten minutes ride maybe. But because the little omega commanded it, then the dominant alpha obeyed it, driving as fast as he could, as if they were being chased.As Ciel was getting out of the car, he fought so hard not to trip or fall down. The truth was he really was nervous. He thought his soul would fly out of his body! He even had almost thrown up twice, which he thankfully was able to hold in and did not let it show in his face.That five minutes of riding made Ciel feel like he was going to pass out.Maverick opened the window to the driver's seat and looked at Ciel worriedly. "Are you okay? You look pale," he said.Ciel's knees were very close to giving up and his stomach was growling. He still felt like throwing up even though he hadn't eaten anything. But again,

    Raffy's eyes widened and his mouth agape as he held his cheek and jaw that Ciel had just punched. He looked so shocked, questioning if what happened really did happen.Blinking his eyes rapidly, he uttered in disbelief, "Did you...did you just punch me in the face?"But instead of getting a proper answer, "Fuck you," was what the beta had gotten from the fierce little omega, who immediately went back on sitting on the bench after giving Raffy a punch.Ciel actually wanted to punch the other side of Raffy's cheeks, but not wanting to grab more attention from the students near them and get into trouble, he held himself back and let himself be content with clenching his fists so tight again.Raffy still had the face of shock as he stared at Ciel. Then, after a moment of just blinking rapidly, he finally spoke again. "Why did you punch me?" His voice was still a bit slurred and slow at first, but it changed when his shock had finally vanished and it was replaced by anger. He then added an

    Raffy went speechless again for a moment, just staring at Ciel, who was fuming with anger, before speaking again. "Did something happen during the party, Ciel?"There was a hint of nervousness in Raffy's voice as he asked Ciel that question.Looking at Ciel, and based on his reaction towards him, Raffy had already gotten the answer to his question. He had slowly realized that his friend wouldn't be just mad without any reason. If Ciel was acting and looking like he wanted to murder him, then something serious must have happened during that night at the party.Raffy clenched his fists, and he gulped several times as several negative thoughts crossed his mind.Ciel was all by himself at a party filled with dominant alphas.What if...Raffy innerly cursed at his own thoughts, then immediately ignored it.No. Despite being an omega, Ciel was still capable of taking care of and protecting himself. He might not be able to compete with the alphas' strengths, but he could definitely outsmart

    "Are you trying to make me feel guilty?" Ciel said after a while as he stared at Raffy with disbelief in his eyes. "Is this your way of making me lessen my anger? By guilt-tripping me?" "No. That's not what I am trying to do. I was just..."Ciel sighed heavily and loudly. "Fuck!" He pressed both of his palms on his face and straightened his back while remained seated on the bench. He stayed in that position for a few minutes before removing his palms from his face, and in a defeated voice, he said, "Fine. You win. You make me feel fucking guilty, and damn you for that.""Ciel, that was not my intention...""Shut up, you stupid beta," Ciel quickly said, then he tapped the space beside him. "Sit down and listen to me. Since you are the root of all this bad luck I am having, then it is your responsibility to listen to my ranting."Raffy did not move right away and stayed standing as if he were rooted in his place, which triggered the little omega's impatience."What are you still doing

    Although it was vivid, Ciel was still somehow able to remember a few scenes of that night, and yes, one of those he remembered was how he got rejected by Maverick as the alpha was trying to not let his alpha instincts win him over. But in the end, what Maverick did was still futile, and he still ended up doing what he did."He could have still tried harder," Ciel whispered."Tried what?" Raffy, who had heard Ciel's whisper, asked."Nothing," Ciel responded right away. "Anyway, as I have said, it is not Maverick, and I am sure of that.""But if it's not Maverick, then why was he with you when you went into heat? If it was Andrew who drugged you, then why did you end up spending your heat with Maverick instead?"Ciel went speechless as he wasn't able to find the right answer to that question of Raffy.Raffy sighed. "I am not trying to defend Andrew, Ciel, but it would also be wrong if you'd blindly accuse him just because you hated his guts."Ciel's expression darkened. "I am not saying

    Ciel made a look of disfavor. “And how did you come up with that conclusion? You know that will only trigger more hostility towards me. Besides, doing that is just like announcing to everyone that the post about us is true.”“But it is the truth, Ciel,” Maverick quickly responded. “It’s true that we are bonded. Even if we try to deny it or make up reasons such as the photo was edited, people won’t still buy that. Since the photo has been publicized, the news of me carrying you towards Andrew’s bedroom has been spreading like wildfire as well. People are not dumb enough to not know how to connect the dots, Ciel. As for how I came up with the conclusion of not leaving your side, that’s because I know that as much as they adore me, they also fear me. Just like Andrew and his minions. If I am on your side, and if they know that you are under my care and protection, they will never do anything to you. Just as I said, they are not dumb, so I am pretty sure that messing with me and the peopl

    Ciel's eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Maverick, who had a very serious look in his eyes as if it were telling him how Maverick meant every single word he said."You're fine with dying?" he asked in bewilderment."If that's what you want as a punishment, then I won't refuse," Maverick answered right away, completely unfazed by the little omega's question."You're crazy..."Maverick shrugged. "For you? Yes, I am.""And you're shameless too.""That I am.""An idiot, if I may add.""Ye—wait, what? Did you call me an idiot? Me? An idiot?" Maverick even pointed himself with his fingers as he couldn't believe he just got called an idiot."Is there anyone else am I talking to right now? It's just you, right? So yes. It's you I am calling an idiot. You are an idiot. A crazy, shameless idiot. That's what you are."It was Maverick’s turn to be shocked. Like what happened to Ciel a few moments ago, disbelief started filling his face. His mouth agape as his mind was still processi

    Maverick took a glance at Ciel. “He seemed to have caught my feelings for you. And so he used you.” And then he turned his gaze to the park again and continued speaking. “He knew I have feelings for you, that I am longing and desperate for you, which was why he came up with that plan. He drugged you and purposely told me to go to his room and get us locked in, forcing us with nowhere to run and can’t do anything but give in to our instincts. Since he knew that you despise alphas, he thought that by doing that, you would end up hating me more than you already are and that it would make me feel miserable. After all, there’s nothing in this world that he wanted to see the most than the day where I would crumble in despair, and he was waiting so much for that day to come. But doing that wasn’t enough for him. He wanted more. He wanted to drag me and my family’s name to dirt. He wanted to humiliate me. And decided to use you again, as he knew that would double the pain and the miserability

    The photo posted on the forum appeared to be taken from a CCTV camera, and the uploader simply took a picture of it through the camera.It was blurry, but the lower parts of the two people entangled in the sheets were noticeably blurrier, as if the person who posted the photo did so on purpose. But even if the photo was blurry, there was still no way anyone who had seen it wouldn't know what the two naked people in the photo were doing.They were clearly having sex. It could be clearly seen on the photo as well that the larger man was biting the smaller man’s nape, which only meant one thing—the larger man was marking the smaller man, and the only people capable of doing that were alphas and omegas. And to make matters worse, the uploader mentioned the names of the two naked people in the photo.Maverick Garcia and Ciel Dominguez.Their names were in bold and capital letters, as if the uploader wanted everyone who saw his post to take notice of the names right away. And it worked. It

    Maverick never let go of his hands as they walked so quickly, almost running down the hallway. Ciel remained speechless as Maverick dragged him. He was both shocked and confused about what was going on—so much so that he forgot to remove his hand from Maverick's firm grip.And while they were striding in the hallway, every single person they passed by would always let out a loud gasp of surprise and bewilderment. It’s like they had just witnessed something out of the ordinary, which was somewhat right if they’re going to describe the scene they were seeing.Maverick, the most popular and most sought-after alpha, was holding an omega.That was something they had never seen before.“I told you! That post and that photo were true! It was not edited! ”, one of the students they passed by tells her friend, and Ciel hears it.That made the little Omega more confused than he already was. 'What post? What photo are they talking about?'Those questions started filling Ciel’s head. He looked

    While walking across the hallway as he was on his way to his third class for the day, Ciel could feel the intense staring the other students were giving him.The little omega could not help but frown. Since he came in the morning, he had been seeing how the other students' looked at him. The professors were doing the same thing. Furthermore, they were not simply staring. Because after glancing at him, people would either murmur, laugh mockingly, or glare at him as if he had done something bad to them.He was so confused as to what was happening. He was wondering if he did something for him to be the center of people's attention. But no matter how many times he thought about it, only two possible reasons came to his mind.The first one was the secret he had been keeping—the secret that he became Maverick's pair. But no one knew about that except him, Maverick, and Raffy. And he trusts Maverick and Raffy to never tell a soul about it. Andrew seemed to know about it as well, but the bast

    Ciel awoke in the morning feeling refreshed, and it had been a long time since he had felt that way. For the past couple of years, he has either woken up feeling tired and lethargic or in a bad mood that he had already forgotten how it felt like to wake up in a refreshing way.And since he woke up on the right side of the bed, a smile immediately spread across Ciel’s face, and it did not vanish even after he fixed his bed, grabbed a towel and his clothes, and even when he went out to go to the bathroom. Even while showering, his smile did not fade at all. In fact, he was also humming a lively song, which clearly depicts his mood.It seems that the conversation he had with Maverick affected his mood, making him feel lively.After showering and getting dressed, Ciel went out of the bathroom with the towel hanging on his shoulder. He was already closing the bathroom door when the door to Maverick’s room opened and revealed the half-naked Maverick, who was also bringing a towel with him.

    With a shocked expression on his face, Maverick asked Ciel, "I'm cool. You think I'm cool?"Ciel nodded eagerly. "Yeah! You are so fucking cool for breaking this motherfucker's face!" His gaze went back to the photo of Andrew laying on the floor in his bedroom. "Damn! It seems that you did a huge amount of damage on his face. He's bloody, dude! I can't even see which is broken and which is not because of how bloody his face is. But I think his nose is broken. His eyes and lips looked swollen as well. Even his cheekbones seemed to have been broken as well. Goddamn! You just reconstructed Andrew's face; he might need plastic surgery. Seriously, just how long did you keep punching him, and how strong were those punches for him to look like this? Did you imagine him as your punching bag?"Ciel looked and sounded like an excited kid again as a series of questions came out of his mouth nonstop."If I knew this was what you were going to do, I should have tagged along with you and witnessed

    "But why? Why did he do it? What does he want from me?”"That... I wasn't able to ask him that yet..." Maverick averted his gaze as if he were embarrassed at his answer."Did you go and talk to him?" Ciel asked with a furrowed forehead."Yeah. I did this morning," Maverick answered."What did you tell him then? What did he say? What did you guys talk about?" Ciel was eager to know what Andrew said as he thought he was finally going to get the answer to some of his questions. But Maverick disappointed him with his answer."We actually are not able to talk.” Maverick’s voice, for some reason, lowered and became soft. It’s as if he didn’t want Ciel to hear him.And why was he acting like that? It’s simply because he didn’t want Ciel to know that he beat Andrew up. Of course Andrew deserves that, but Maverick does not want Ciel to see him as someone who could result in violence. After all, violence and violent people were one of the things the little omega hated.“Huh?” Ciel’s forehead fu
