We arrived at a traditional inn and the moment one of the staff saw Azrael; she ran towards him and smiled at him. They were talking incredibly fast and it wasn’t like I could understand but how she acted when Azrael looked at me gave me a clue on what they were talking about.
She bowed at me before she blushed with a satisfied look.
“We should take a bath.” Azrael said as I stared at the elderly woman.
“What were you guys talking about?” I asked and Azrael blushed.
He didn’t say anything and it only piqued my interest more as I followed Azrael.
“What did you guys talk about?” I insisted before Azrael paused.
“It’s nothing important. We should hit the Onsen.” Azrael replied before he pushed aside a sliding door.
We entered inside before Azrael closed the door behind him. The room was neat, dry and spacious with baskets stacked in rows. I was honestly expecting a lot of people here but it wasn’t that time or hour w

042 Leslie I opened my eyes slowly, blinking multiple times before I recognised the heat I was sensing. I tried to move but I felt an arm around my waist that obstructed my movement. I looked up to recognize who it was before I saw Azrael. He was sleeping with his mouth slightly open and his chest heaving gently while he snored softly. This was the first time hearing him snore whenever he slept off even though it was gentle. I looked to the left and I was shocked when I saw the yukata, we were wearing last night scattered on the ground with bottles of the sake we drank last night before I touched my lips. It dawned on me what I had done last night with Azrael and I was the one who initiated it. I quietly got off Azrael, careful so I wouldn’t wake him up before I picked my yukata up and put it on. My legs felt a little weak but it had enough strength to take me to anywhere since my body didn’t hurt. I opened t

043 Azrael I just arrived home from the airport with a frown on my face. I’ve been struggling to reach Leslie since he texted that he arrived in the US. It was frustrating especially since I couldn’t rid this anxiety and panic that was eating my flesh. Reina had mentioned that Leslie mentioned he wouldn’t be resuming work immediately and that made me overall suspicious. Leslie loved his job more than anyone could comprehend especially since he was given fresh talents to help while still working with me to produce a book that would rival my unadulterated books. “We’re here sir.” The driver said as he stopped in front of my apartment. I came down from the car, pulling down the face mask and exhaling before I took off the cap then ruffled my hair. My private building suddenly felt bigger and it made me contemplate getting another apartment somewhere smaller with neighbours who just minded their goddamned busines

044 Leslie I opened my eyes and looked down to Ben who was hugging my stomach as he breathed exhaustedly. His grip around me was weak and he was deeply asleep that I didn’t struggle to sneak out of bed like I’ve been attempting to for a while. I climbed down from the bed, covering him with the blanket before I picked up his shirt that was tossed on the floor and buttoned up. Cold, sticky fluid slipped past my legs and my face curled in disgust as I picked my own shirt from a few days ago to clean away his semen. I stood up and softly groaned in pain from the sores and the marks Ben handed to me. I had grown accustomed to the pain from Ben’s hard hand on me and I was afraid of that… Afraid of adjusting to a life of abuse. I looked at Ben who was quietly sleeping before I slipped out of the room. It’s been hard to get breathing space from Ben ever since Azrael came to see me and I was worried about him because just like Ben, h

045 Isaac The memories that haunt my dreams were happy memories of a smile and the voice of my birth mother singing me to sleep. I couldn’t remember his face but I knew he was an omega like me except white like the soft rain that melted after winter. In those vague memories, my mother and I were happy before that happiness was replaced with screams and crying that turned into nightmare. I was adopted into a family, small, warm with desperate couples longing for children but I never felt loved especially after Ben was born. I have a good relationship with my parents especially my father who dotes on me but I never felt I belonged so I always searched for my mother even till today. I was misdiagnosed when I was younger with dyslexia after failing multiple exams and due to the problem, I didn’t start school in time because my parents focused on therapy before they decided to give up and send me to school.

I ignored and proceeded with my work before he knelt down beside me and stretched his hand towards mine. I retracted mine before he could touch me before I held it securely and created some distance between us. “Sorry I didn’t mean to scare you, I just wanted to help you.” Ben apologized as I stared wearily at him. “Now that your face has healed,” Ben said as I touched my face. “Let’s go out for dinner. Just the two of us, I also got you a gift.” Ben dropped a few bags and two boxes in front of me before he pushed it towards me. “What’s that?” I asked. “I picked out some clothes I thought would look good on you, we haven’t gone out on any date in a while.” Ben said as I pushed back the gift

047 My heart was racing, sweat falling down my forehead as I stared at my place of work. It felt new to me even though we had been apart for a month and a week but it wasn’t my return that made me feel like this, it was the response to my return. If I didn’t know the CEO and the situation of the company didn’t require more workers; I would have lost my job from my long-awaited absence but luckily Reina was understanding. There were few unfamiliar faces around and the familiar faces that saw me stared at disbelief before they called my name and I responded with a smile and a wave. I didn’t stop moving forward until I got to my floor where my team based. I peeped from the door and saw my team members including the new girl, Melody that was added to the team. Everyone was serious with work which was something rare for our team considering it was still early. “Campbell.” My heart jumped out of my heart at the sound of my chest as I turne

048 Azrael It was always the same, the same messed up cycle when I developed feelings for an omega but this heartbreak hit me twice as hard that I couldn’t think on what to do to make myself feel better or numb the pain yet tears couldn’t flow because it hurt him more than me. Ben and I are back together It made my chest tight, cold piercing in my chest in a manner that made donating it a tempting offer. My first love had been Lucas Bethan; my omega father and the one who birthed me. Everyone always knew of my great affection for Lucas, they weren’t too happy about it but Lucas… He was different. He embraced the feeling of being loved though my affection for him were always pure without a thought of wanting to touch him while still expressing everything sex would make him feel. It took a lot for me to understand that Lucas loved no one, not even my own mother, not even himself. It wasn’t like he was incapable

049 Leslie I was feeling a little nervous being here. Things were slowly getting better between Ben and I but Ben had suggested we see a marriage counsellor… I agreed. The counsellor came out with a stern look before she smiled awkwardly then it curled to a business smile and stretched her hand towards us. “Hi, I’m counsellor Ellis, you must be Bennett and Leslie Campbell.” Counsellor Ellis said before she sat opposite us. “I’ve been so excited to meet you after I heard about your unusual pairing… a beta and an omega. I apologize if how I said it sounded rude.” Counsellor Ellis said as Ben laughed. “All is well.” Ben replied before she smiled. “Relax and let’s talk about anything.” Counsellor Ellis requested before Ben and I stared at each other. “The easy question… How did you and Leslie meet?” “We met at college; I was two years ahead Leslie.

On days Azrael wakes up early, I don’t work at home.I continue to unwrap wedding gifts from family, friends and fans, sorting things to give out and donate with the servants until I get exhausted.Our habits didn’t change after marriage, and we’ve been married for five months, but things were different in a good way.

My hair was ready, cut shorter than the original length and gelled.Ancel opened the door, surveying seriously with a small note in his hand. He stayed at me and pulled out a white rose from the vase in the room.He placed the rose in my pocket and patted it.“Perfect but I liked the white suit better.”“You were going to make me wear a long veil if I wore that and this is my second marriage.”“You and Azrael would match but the blue isn’t bad.

The doorbell rang, and I opened it. Kaiyo stood there with a pout on his face and glared at me. I spread my arms across the door and leaned back a little.“You’re not here to dump tomato juice on me again, are you?” I asked, and he blushed.I smiled and lowered my arms.“I came to apologise, so listen closely, because I won’t say it again.” He puffed his chest and placed his hand on his hip. “I’m sorry for splashing juice on you and saying embarrassing things.”“Stay away from Mitsuki. You don’t deserve him. He’s mine.” I teased, and he turned red.“S-stop teasing me. Y-you be kissing my feet. I came here today.”I patted his head and smiled. “Do you want ice-cream? Sundae?”“What flavour?” He shook his head and wiped his mouth. “I’m not a dog.”He acted like Becca’s, one of Isaac’s twins in her teenage stage that doesn’t want to be smouldered by adults.

They were all waiting, so I raised my hand to reveal the wedding ring.“Yes!!!” Everyone cheered.Some high-fives and hugged me.“Congratulations!” Isaac said and grinned. “You’re marrying my brother again. Welcome to the family.”We laughed at the joke, and I nudged Isaac.“I can’t wait to tell everyone, and it was all thanks to me.” Ancel gloated and pulled out his phone.“Hold on there cowboy, Lucas might have already beat you to it. He was the first person Azrael called to while we were in Japan.”“I’m still going to spice it up more. I still have a picture of the ring.” Ancel said and started typing.“Thank you.” I whispered to Ancel. “For helping me with the ring.”Ancel nudged me and smiled. “Anytime.

No sleep for me if he was awake, talking my ears out on all the places he wanted to go.I never want him to cry or feel lonely when I’m around.“I can’t wait to take a lot of pictures.” Leslie said, and I sighed.“I’ve missed hot spring baths.”The train stopped, and we headed for one of the popular temples in Kyoto – Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine.We took a lot of pictures with a temple guide giving the history of the temple. I didn’t believe in any gods, unlike my parents and Leslie is Christian, so I couldn’t understand his fascination with temples.“Should we buy a charm or two? Maybe a souvenir?” Leslie asked.“Kid, these god statures aren’t for decorations and children touch things they shouldn’t. Let’s stick with the papers that won’t leave t

Nikolaus has always responded to the colour red as a baby, so I thought he liked the colour and yesterday, I confirmed he sees everything as red, with few exceptions.” I narrated, and Dr. Steve nodded.“What exceptions?” Dr. Steve asked.“Himself, me and objects that are actually the colour red.”Dr. Steve stared intensely at the both of us and exh
