- Alice! You promised we'd watch it together! - Wasu said disgruntledly as we entered the living room.

Alice was watching the show, and King was uncomplainingly keeping her company. They both turned in our direction, and I struggled to keep the laughter from their expressions on their faces.

"Wasu...is he...am I glitching?" - King thought, keeping his gaze on my Treasure's eyes.

- Breathe, King... Breathe... Breathe in... Breathe out... - I reassured my brother.

"But he's ... what the hell is going on here?" - King wondered.

"Yellow... Palan, Wasu's eyes are yellow..." - Alice finally gave signs of life.

- It's okay... Yes, yellow eyes, - I continued to answer their questions as long as there were no bystanders around.

"It's... Wasu Alpha? A half-breed Alpha... Why is he an Alpha?" - Alice looked at him and me in turn.

"So he's... really your spirit partner?" - King inquired, shifting his gaze to me.

- Uh-huh. Alpha... You can smell it, why do you ask? - I continued to answer, with each question they asked I needed more and more self-control to keep from laughing.

"Wait... why are you answering questions so openly? Did you tell him?" - Alice asked, I always knew she was smarter than her brother.

"Oops...gotta get some water for King, and me too..." - Alice thought.

- Yes, Alice, told me... maybe something stronger than water? - I couldn't help but make a joke.

"Yeah...I definitely need a drink..." - Alice looked at me, thinking of red wine.

- Not you, Alice, - I said with a smile.

- Hia... I'm hungry... can we eat first, while you come to your senses and start using words? Come on, - my baby apparently decided to save me from this avalanche of questions by taking my hand and dragging me into the kitchen.

"Hey! Where to! We're not done yet!" - King exclaimed indignantly.

Wasu and I entered the dining room and I remembered something was missing, but couldn't remember what. Auntie Ubon came out to us almost immediately and she seemed to take my wife's eye color more adequately than anyone else.

- Oh, you're hungry, aren't you? Today is the 4th day, I was basically expecting you today or tomorrow. Khun Alice asked me to prepare a big breakfast, just in case, - she said and in her mind she was very happy that Wasu was really my partner.

- Khun Wasu, now even the Congregation is safe for you. I am very happy that you have become a part of this family. I only wish Khun Saja could have seen you. She would have loved you more than her grandchildren, - she encouraged my little one with a smile, remembering my grandmother sadly.

"Take care of my grandson's wife. When the mark appears, keep a close eye on Treasure's nutrition. You must promise me, Ubon! Don't let him drink alcohol or coffee." - Grandmother's words came to mind in Auntie's mind and I wondered.

"How did she know my partner would be Treasure?" - I wondered.

Auntie quickly set the table and Alice and King came into the dining room and Auntie left. They sat down across from us and it was only now that I realized Wasu's eyes were no dimmer than King's.

- Palan, we're flying back tonight. We had planned to return on Sunday, but plans changed after the movie. I called the office and told them you were on sick leave for three days. Danai was very surprised. Have you really been suppressing heat after Dieter? - King started and finally hit on a sore subject.

- What? 4 years? Palan, are you crazy? - Alice scolded me.

- Um...I don't understand... - Wasu raised his eyes and looked at me and the couple across from him.

- Almost 5 years ago, during the rut, my partner Omega decided to seize the moment. When I wasn't thinking straight in the heat of hormones, he purposely bit through the condom to get me pregnant. Dieter came to me later and told me he was pregnant and I had to marry him. I forced him to have an abortion. I always used condoms and was honest with them. I told them I would only marry a spiritual partner. After that I suppressed the heat after that so that this situation would not happen again. Since then, I have tried to avoid Omegas. About a year ago, I met Vivian. I had no problem with him because he loves himself too much and doesn't want to ruin his figure with pregnancy. And when I met you Wasu... - I stopped, taking his hand and looked into my Treasure's eyes.

- Oh, that I know! You kicked Viv out of the hotel room, and then you called me and I told you to see Bao, - King interrupted, as if trying to help me justify myself to my wife.

- Hia, it's okay. I understand everything. You don't need to restrain the wolf anymore, - Wasu looked at me with a smile.

- So... Palan don't you think Wasu is... unusual? - King asked bluntly while Wasu was eating the shrimp.

- Uh-huh... Have you noticed it too? - I asked and Elisu nodded.

- What's wrong? - Wasu asked with his mouth full and I wiped the corner of his mouth from the sauce.

– Babe, right now you smell like an Omega, but you're human and your eyes are yellow like a pureblood Alpha. Maybe the books are lying. But I haven't read anywhere that that's ever happened. All the books say that half-bloods have duller eyes and a fainter scent, but it matches the color of their eyes. And you, - Alice decided to say what she thought.

- I'm not like in the books. I don't understand it myself, but I can smell you clearly now. Alice smells like Chinese hibiscus and tuberose, and King smells like sandalwood and tuberose. Although it used to be like a slight perfume trail. Am I reading this right... Tuberose is the bonding scent of spiritual partners? - It turns out my boy is very bright and I nodded.

- Have you heard of the book "The Half-Blood Prophecy"? - Wasu asked, and I remembered my grandmother saying that it was an important book that only the Congregation had.

- My grandmother had once said that this book had only one copy left in the Congregation's library. This book is over 1000 years old and why it has not survived to this day is a mystery," I answered honestly.

After a late breakfast, Alice and King went to pack, and Wasu and I went up to the room. I sat on the bed and put my Treasure on my lap, resting my head on his shoulder as usual. I savored his new scent. I was just glad to have him. Wasu with me, sitting on my lap, rubbing my hair with one hand while the other gently stroked my hands on his stomach. We just sat in silence, not saying a word.

Silence... The silence I'd wanted for so long and couldn't get with anyone. I realized that you don't always need words to express feelings. When you have them, even silence doesn't feel awkward.

- Do you want to go out? - I suggested, realizing that my boy is in a new country for him, but has not been anywhere.

Yeah we couldn't even go to the movies properly because of the leak. He was so excited to see that movie though. All he's been to is my work and the library.

- Maybe you shouldn't go out with me like that? - Wasu asked quietly, as if embarrassed of himself.

- With what kind of guy? - I asked, lifting my head from his shoulder and looking into his golden eyes.

- Well... You said it yourself, I smell like an Omega and have eyes like an Alpha. If someone reports you to the Congregation, you could be in trouble... - Wasu continued, lowering his head.

- The Congregation will find out about us anyway, sooner or later. We haven't broken anything with you, Wasu! I want to go out with my wife, for example, to a restaurant, I don't care what anyone thinks. And your eyes will be the same afternoon, - I replied confidently, but I could see the worry in Wasu's eyes.

- Xiao Bao! I won't let anyone think badly of you, not even you! And even though I can't read your thoughts, I can see that you're worried about it! - I raised my tone a bit, and my Treasure only nodded.

- I'm sorry, Babe... I didn't mean to scold you. Let's do this... Pick a place you want to go and we'll go there, and when we see King and Alice off, we'll go to the library to look for information. Okay? - I offered in a gentle tone, realizing I'd yelled at the boy for nothing.

- I'm sorry. It's just... too much for me... You've been who you are since birth. I just found out I'm a half-breed that hasn't been around for hundreds of years. And an Alpha who was in heat... Did those ever exist? I just need time to get used to it... - as he spoke, I listened to his quiet voice, and his focused look turned me on.

- Enough, Palan, your smell is driving me crazy! - Wasu suddenly changed his tone.

"So on full moon days, he has heightened senses like the rest of us?" - I thought.

- It's not my fault you're so seductive! It's all your fault. Yours! Yours! Yours! - I fake outraged, kissing his neck and face, poking him lightly in the ribs until he started smiling.

- Ha ha, stop it... Palan, that tickles, - Wasu said with a giggle and I was glad he stopped frowning and thinking too much.

I didn't want my Treasure to think he was an unknown beast that everyone would want to study or let in for experiments. I remembered my grandmother's fairy tale and I felt like taking him to the oceanarium like the Prince had taken his half-breed to the depths of the ocean. Wasu looked at me and his two yellow sapphires slowly turned brown.

"Ha! Now I have my own half-breed, just like the Prince in the fairy tale!" - I thought and smiled as I realized that my Treasure's scent was back to the same but with a note of tuberose.

- Your eyes, Hia... They're normal again, - Wasu said with some longing.

- Yes, Treasure. Yours too. Come on, I know where we can go, - I kissed his cheek and got up from the bed hugging Wasu.

We left the bedroom and I heard the thoughts of the head of security coming down the stairs.

- Derek, take a couple more people to the oceanarium with us, - I asked the man coming down.

- P, can they not go in costumes? Or else they'll scare all the kids... - Wasu asked quietly.

- Oh, and change your clothes like normal people, not in costumes. We'll be waiting in the living room in ten minutes, - I repeated my wife's request, and Derek nodded.

The guys came down earlier, dressed in simple pants, solid-colored T-shirts of different colors and sneakers. Derek was also wearing a black jacket that concealed a gun behind his back. He takes it with him everywhere, and I wouldn't be surprised if he showers with it. Derek's been working for me for years. My grandmother brought him into the house when Derek was 17. At first he was just my guard, and then he became a friend because he's only a year older than me. Out of everyone in the house - he is the most loyal to me and therefore the head of security and the second, no, now third person in the house - after Wasu and me.

Wasu looked at them with a smile, assessing their appearance. Reno and Kang immediately left for the garage while we went outside. On the way to the oceanarium, Wasu spent most of the time lying on my shoulder, hugging my arm.

When we got there, we bought our tickets and went inside. I hadn't been here since I was 17 years old, though I used to love coming here. Wasu was walking through the corridors with a wide smile, looking at the aquariums with fish, octopuses, crabs, penguins, turtles and corals. The guys were also smilingly watching the fish while keeping their eyes on us.

"I think I didn't bring my wife here, but a small child. He's so adorable when he smiles so freely." - I thought, even though I don't really like crowded places because of the high flow of thoughts.

- Hia, I'm going to go to the bathroom. Don't go anywhere from here, okay? - He asked and I was immediately worried that Wasu was going somewhere alone.

- I'll come with you, - I offered, but my Treasure immediately pouted his lips.

- I'm not a little Babe, Hia, to be escorted to the bathroom by a delegation. I'll go myself, - he scolded me, and Derek chuckled slightly at being publicly reprimanded by my wife.

"He's not a little Babe...and those lips are as pouty as a seven year old's...should I tell him that or keep quiet?" - I marveled at his really childish behavior.

I glanced at Derek and he understood without a word: - Khun Wasu, I have to pee too. If we don't leave now, your husband will definitely follow you.

Wasu nodded and Derek went with him. I felt like they lingered there too long since the restroom wasn't far away and my Treasure had been gone for over 5 minutes.

"Should I tell my boss or keep quiet like his wife asked? I mean, he'll be furious when he finds out... Should I drop a hint so Khun Palan asks him himself? Oh..." - Derek was thrashing around in his thoughts, and my heart began to race that something had happened to my Treasure.

I took a step forward and saw Wasu and Derek walking towards me. Ugh... Wasu is fine.

- And what took so long? - I immediately asked impatiently, looking at Derek.

- There was a line, Hia, - Wasu blurted out, and Derek didn't even raise an eyebrow.

- A line, you said? - I interjected, looking at Derek when I heard his thoughts.

"Queue how... never thought a young gentleman could take down two alphas and a beta in a minute... even if they were teenagers. And after all, he's only a year older than them..."

- Wasu! - I shouted as I heard Derek's thoughts, and a few customers turned to look at our company.

- Are you lying to my face? Tell me yourself nicely, or it'll be worse if I find out from Derek's head! - I walked over to Treasure and growled in his ear.

Angry that he lied, I grabbed Wasu by the elbow. Wasu looked at Derek with an angry look and turned to me, offended.

- So that's how...you mean he didn't have to go to the bathroom, right? Derek went because you told him to? What kind of trust are we talking about? - he resented, pulling his hand out of mine.

The Babe looked at me with a hurt look, walking away towards the shark tank. I sighed and slowly followed.

"Ha, you're a savvy one, Xiao Bao! You'll have to put up with it because I don't want you to get hurt. That's how my Alpha nature is. I have to control everything."

"That skittish kitten... damn... why am I thinking about him?" - Derek's thoughts confused me, I couldn't figure out who he was talking about.

I decided to let my Treasure cool down, so I just walked a few steps behind him, with the three bodyguards following me, examining with childlike delight in their heads the fish behind the glass.

Suddenly!

Someone's diminutive figure grabbed Wasu's arm and crouched down slightly, pressing against him from behind. I could tell from the smell that this Omega was scared, but why of all the visitors did he grab my wife's hand! I took a step forward but stopped when I heard the boy's thoughts.

"P'Wasu, you haven't left yet, help! Why... why... why are they doing this to me? Is it my fault I don't have any money? I worked for a week to buy this ticket... and I can't watch the fish? My ticket costs as much as theirs. Huh... today I was saved from a beating by this P., but he won't be around tomorrow at school...

- Did I not explain well enough to you guys that the weak should not be hurt? - Wasu asked in a serious tone, but I couldn't see who from behind the semicircular curve of the hallway.

Moving closer to my wife, I saw three boys who looked like high school seniors or freshmen. Two Alphas and a Beta.

"There's that guy again! That's okay, Mark, we'll get even with you in school!" - thought the young Alpha, looking behind my Treasure's back.

"Kitten again? I think it's time to call it a day!" - Derek thought angrily and overtook me, standing in front of the trio.

- Touch him again and I'll wring your neck, you little brat! - Derek leaned toward the young Alpha, his voice hard.

I could sense that Derek was really angry, though I didn't understand why. Taking a step forward, I decided to support Wasu and turned the boy clinging to my wife's t-shirt toward me.

- Are they hurting you, Nong Mark? - I asked calmly and the boy looked at me with atypically large eyes for Thais.

"How did he know my name?"

- It's okay Mark, don't be afraid. This Alpha is mine, - Wasu reassured the boy affectionately, smiling.

"How does the Original know this beggar?" - went through three heads at once, and I smiled.

- I want to warn you guys. If any of you or others at school hurt Mark, I'll let Derek do what he just said, and your bodies will go to the shark food in that oceanarium. Do I make myself clear? - I threatened the nodding teens as Wasu yanked my arm.

The three boys raised their hands in a wai and quickly ran away, discussing among themselves how Mark knew the original.

- You're overplaying it, Hia... - Wasu scolded me quietly.

- Hia... Can he come with us? - Wasu asked and I nodded, seeing that my Treasure was no longer angry.

- Thank you, Khun. If it wasn't for you, they would have beaten me up at school tomorrow, - the boy thanked, folding his hands in a wai.

- Now you can enjoy your walk in peace. Derek...Derek... - Wasu smiled at Mark, then suddenly called out to Derek, who kept his eyes on the child.

"Why did I get so angry? Oh those big eyes and round cheeks. Why the hell is he so cute and smells so good?" - Derek couldn't hear Wasu, but I could hear him.

I took my wife's hand and shook my head, smiling.

- I'll tell you later, - I whispered to my wife.

- Nong Mark, let's go. Derek! Keep the boy company and tell him about the animals in the aquariums. It's not the first time we've been here, - I suggested to the boy and he nodded with a smile, but Derek flinched when he heard his name.

- Yes, boss, - Derek nodded and led Mark ahead of us, talking about the sharks.

- Hia, what's going on? - Wasu asked, looking at the couple ahead of us.

- So... Those three guys you put down in the bathroom because they were going to beat up a boy? - I whispered to Wasu and he nodded.

- Why did Derek let you do that? - I asked, annoyed that my Treasure might have gotten hurt.

- Because I went in first and Derek got a call from Auntie Ubon and he was on the phone with her. Or should I have let them hit him? Look how miniature Mark is, and those three... Ugh! I immediately remembered how in the orphanage I was beaten up by the other kids because I was different. So I stepped in. Hey, don't be evasive! - Wasu told me and I got angry that someone was hurting my wife.

"We should find everyone and bite their heads off..." - I visualized a picture of these actions.

- I have a strange sense of deja vu when I hear Derek's thoughts. It's very similar to what I thought when I first met you, - I explained softly and Wasu shifted his gaze to the couple in front of me.

Mark was looking at the animals on the sides and above him with a wide grin while Derek was talking, pointing at the coral and fish. The man looked at Mark often and smiled slightly.

- Hia... If you're right, what do we do? You lasted 10 days and now you won't let me go to the bathroom, - Wasu continued, holding my hand.

- If it's his partner, it's simple: he'll move into our house, just like White once did, - I answered honestly, looking at my Treasure.

We had been walking around the oceanarium for over 2 hours, I was getting a little tired and just wanted to be alone with Wasu. When I saw the restroom up ahead, I pulled my wife towards the door, signaling the guards to stay at the entrance.

- Hia, what are you doing? We're in a public place! - Wasu scolded me as I dragged him to the very last stall.

- Baby, please... I need five minutes of silence... - I pleaded, pushing him into the stall and followed by locking the door.

I lowered the toilet lid and sat on it, pulling Treasure to sit sideways on my lap. I was so tired of the huge stream of thoughts and other people's odors that I wanted silence and gentle plumeria. Nestling my nose against the desirable neck, I inhaled my favorite scent.

- M-m-m-m-m-m... Wasu... - I whispered softly, my lips lightly touching his soft neck.

It was exactly what I needed. The gentle scent, the warmth of his body, and the silence. I wasn't planning on having sex in a public restroom, I just wanted to be with him.

- Ah... - the soft moan of a gentle voice pleased me.

I just barely touched my lips to kiss his neck, moving up to his soft lips, smelling my Treasure's scent becoming sweet. Even though this was turning me on, I could definitely hold out until I got home. Well, that's what I thought, exactly until Wasu moved to face me, placing his hands on my neck and responding to the kiss with passion.

- Ah... Treasure... Not here... - my lips said one thing while my body treacherously indulged in his kisses on my neck.

I lifted his head and turned it, giving him full access to my neck, my hands caressing his back. About the cock ready for several rounds, I'm not talking at all.

- And who should I listen to, Palan... Your lips or your dick? - my wife whispered provocatively, biting my ear lightly.

"Oh... when you call me just by my name like that, it turns me on even more..."

- I just wanted silence, and now I want you... - I answered bluntly, squeezing the soft ass in my hands.

Sigh...

- Baby, we can't do it here. There's still Derek and the baby walking around somewhere, we're setting a bad example... - pulling myself together, I sighed heavily.

Wasu stood up from my lap with a smile, kissing me gently on the lips.

- Thank you, my Treasure. I feel better now, let's go find Derek, - I felt better, and now I was ready to walk around with him for a couple more hours.

- If you're tired, let's go home. We still have to see Alice and King off, - Wasu suggested, and I nodded in agreement.

Wasu opened the lock on the door, and we walked out to the aquarium. I called Derek, and it turned out that he and the boy had already left to see the penguins. We agreed to meet at the exit and went to the agreed place. Wasu wanted to wait outside and I agreed. I noticed some small bullies bullying Mark nearby. Ten minutes later, Derek and a boy came out of the aquarium.

- Nong, how are you getting home? - I asked, understanding the motives of the trio.

"On foot," Mark thought, but answered, – By bus.

- How far do you live? - I continued to ask.

- On XXX street, - when I heard the answer, I remembered approximately where it is and realized that only by car to get there about an hour, not to mention walking.

- Here's the deal. We'll take you home tonight, we're on our way anyway. No refusal, - I offered, cutting off all avenues of escape for the boy.

- Accept it, Nong, - Wasu smiled and the boy nodded uncertainly.

Putting him in the car next to Derek, I watched them. The boy occasionally blushed when he accidentally touched my bodyguard, and the boy was glad for every touch.

Wasu asked the boy about his life and the boy answered my wife's questions honestly. Mark lives with his aunt and her three children. Her husband and the boy's parents died in a fire, three years ago. His aunt's husband and Mark's father rescued a pregnant woman and three children, but when they came back for the boy's mom, the roof collapsed and all three died. Now she works in a night cafe because the boys are at school during the day and there is no one to look after her little sister. Mark is the oldest of them all, so he works after school to help his aunt. The boy finishes school in 4 months and then wants to work to help the family with money.

After 40 minutes we pulled into the right street and Mark called out the house number. It turned out that the boy lived in a small house that hadn't seen a man's hand in a long time. We stopped in front of the driveway and Mark thanked us for our kindness and help.

- Nong, can you give me your Line? If you need help, you can call me anytime, - Wasu suggested and the young man agreed.

I saw Wasu earlier pull some yellow bills from his wallet out of his pocket and squeeze them in his hand. He reached out to hug the boy goodbye and I didn't object, realizing what he was doing. Mark got out of the car and now Derek was like an abandoned puppy whose owner had gone to work.

"Did I have that pathetic look when I was away from Wasu too?" - I thought and commanded him to take us home.

Back at the mansion, we picked up Alice and King and drove to the airport. Wasu asked Alice to call him when they landed. After putting them on the plane, we got home just in time for dinner. After eating, my Treasure pulled me to the library as I had promised him - we did some research. What surprised me was that he took only one book from the far shelf in the corner by the window and lay down on the couch to read it while I sat at the table, covered in books about partners and half-bloods.

{Bao}

- Hia.. I'm hungry... can we eat first, while you come to your senses and start speaking words? Let's go, - deciding to save my husband from the hail of thoughts of these two, I pulled him towards the kitchen.

Aunty Ubon met us there with a smile, and I was glad she wasn't looking at me like the others.

- Oh, you guys are hungry, aren't you? Today is the 4th day, I was basically expecting you today or tomorrow. Khun Alice asked me to prepare a big breakfast, just in case," the woman set the table, setting out several dishes at once.

- Khun Wasu, now even the Congregation is safe for you. I am very happy that you have become a part of this family. I only wish Khun Saja could have seen you. She would have loved you more than her grandchildren, - she said as if she was pining for her friend and not the lady of the house.

"Saja again... why do I keep getting the feeling that I know her?" - I thought, sitting down at the table and pushing the roast duck closer to me.

Alice and King came into the kitchen, apparently recovering from the shock. Just then Auntie came out and the pair sat down across from us.

- Palan, we're flying back tonight. We had planned to return on Sunday, but plans changed after the movie. I called the office, told them you were on sick leave for three days. Danai was very surprised. Have you really been suppressing gonorrhea after Dieter? - King spoke calmly, but ended with an anxious question.

- What? 4 years? Palan are you crazy? - Alice almost shouted at him.

"Suppressed the race? Is that even possible? Is it dangerous?" - The thoughts in my head started to develop again by inductive logic and I decided to ask: - Uh... I don't understand....

- Almost 5 years ago, during a rut, my partner Omega decided to seize the moment. When I wasn't thinking straight in the heat of hormones, he deliberately bit through the condom to get me pregnant. Dieter came to me later and told me he was pregnant, and I had to marry him. I forced him to have an abortion. I always used condoms and was honest with them. I told them I would only marry a spiritual partner. After that, I suppressed the heat after that so that this situation would not happen again. Since then, I have tried to avoid Omegas. About a year ago, I met Vivian. I had no problem with him because he loves himself too much and doesn't want to ruin his figure with pregnancy. And when I met you Wasu... - while my Alpha was telling this, I could feel how worried he was.

Palan took my hand as if he was apologizing for what he just said. As if I'm going to throw a tantrum on him now because he slept with someone else before me.

- Oh, I know that! You kicked Viv out of the hotel room, and then you called me and I told you to see Bao, - King interrupted him, apparently seeing the worry in his brother's eyes.

- 'Hia, it's okay. I understand. You don't need to restrain the wolf anymore, - I said what I thought, even though it was part of the truth.

"Oh my Alpha... that was really hard and painful, wasn't it? Your wolf must have been going crazy in confinement... It's okay now, I'm with you. The wolf doesn't need a cage anymore, let him go."

- So... Palan don't you think Wasu is... unusual? - While I was snacking on shrimp, King didn't hesitate to ask his brother.

- Uh-huh... You noticed it too? - Alice also nodded at my Alpha's question.

- What's wrong? - I asked, even though I knew exactly what they were talking about.

- Babe, you smell like an Omega now, but you're human, and your eyes are yellow like a purebred Alpha's. Maybe the books are lying. But I haven't read anywhere that that's ever happened. All the books say that half-bloods have duller eyes and a fainter scent, but it matches the color of their eyes. And you, - Alice spoke as if she were reasoning out loud when she paused at the end.

- I'm not like in the books. I don't understand it myself, but I can smell you clearly now. Alice smells like Chinese hibiscus and tuberose, and King smells like sandalwood and tuberose. Although it used to be like a slight perfume trail. Am I understanding this correctly... Tuberose is the bonding scent of spiritual partners? - I decided to continue, realizing that she didn't know how to say it tactfully, so she was thinking over her words.

- Have you heard of the book "The Half-Blood Prophecy"? - Almost full, I immediately remembered the book I was looking for in the library and decided to ask them.

- My grandmother once told me that this book was the only one left in the Congregational library. This book is over 1000 years old and why it hasn't survived to this day is a mystery - but these words from my husband are strange.

The librarian said the book went missing a little over 50 years ago, Palan says it's the only copy left in the Congregation, and Jha's grandmother said it's in Palan's library in the first place.

"Now I'm even more eager to find this book..." - I thought.

After a late breakfast, Alice and King went to pack their things, and Palan wanted to go up to the bedroom. He sat down on the bed, settling me on his lap. Palan wouldn't be Palan without holding me in his arms and sniffing my neck. I loved that particular intimacy. When he just sits there with me like that, I feel like he's breathing me, it's as unparalleled as sex with him, though no, sex is better. I stroked his hair and the arms that hugged me. I realized that my Alpha wanted silence and I obediently kept quiet, I can't even imagine how hard it is for him to hear the thoughts of others all the time. It must be pretty exhausting.

"If Palan wants to just sit in silence, I'll give him that. Whatever he asks of me, I'm willing to give it to him, even my life..." - I thought, but I was interrupted by his sudden question.

- Do you want to go out? - he suddenly suggested, and I immediately remembered about the unsuccessful trip to the movies.

- Maybe you shouldn't go out with me like that. - I asked uncertainly, realizing that I'd better not go outside the mansion right now.

- What kind of guy? - Without answering, my Alpha asked, lifting his head from my shoulder and turning me to face him.

- Well... You said it yourself, I smell like an Omega and have eyes like an Alpha. If someone reports me to the Congregation, you could be in trouble... - I realized that as soon as others saw me like this, there would be more people willing to report me to the Congregation.

"I'm a half-breed, and not just any half-breed, but some kind of strange one. My eyes are bright and don't match my scent, I don't perceive the pheromones of the wolf kind. It's unclear whether I'm an Alpha or an Omega... A perfect specimen to study. Palan won't let anyone touch me, which means it'll definitely get him in trouble. If the Congregation is interested in me, they'll go to any lengths...I can't put my husband in danger."

- The Congregation will find out about us anyway, sooner or later. We haven't broken anything, Wasu! I want to take my wife to a restaurant, I don't care what anyone thinks. And after noon, your eyes will be the same, - I envy his confidence in his words.

- Xiao Bao! I won't let anyone think badly of you, not even you! Even though I can't read your mind, I can see that you're worried about it! - he seemed to be scolding me for my thoughts he couldn't hear, but apparently my eyes gave away my worry, so I meekly nodded.

"Oh... now you're going to call me Xiao Bao when you scold me? That's funny."

- Sorry, Babe... I didn't mean to scold you. Let's do this... Pick a place you want to go, and we'll go there, and when we see King and Alice off, we'll go to the library to look for information. Deal? - My husband apologized in a gentle voice, though I didn't take offense at him, understanding his motives perfectly.

- I'm... sorry. It's just... too much for me... You've been who you are since birth. And I just found out that I was a half-breed that hadn't been around for a few hundred years. And an Alpha who was in heat... Did those ever exist? I just need time to get used to it... - while I was going on a tirade about my inner turmoil, this Alpha was driving me crazy with the changing bright scent of honey and caramel that so sexily accentuated his basic manuka smell....

- Stop it Palan, your scent is driving me crazy! - I scolded Palan resentfully that while I was pouring out my soul to him here, he was thinking about vulgarities.

- It's not my fault you're so seductive! It's all your fault. Yours! Yours! Yours! - It seemed like the big and mature Alpha had turned into a silly teenager who was kissing and tickling me.

- Ha ha, stop it... Palan, that tickles, - I couldn't stand it, laughing and begging him to stop.

My Alpha looked at me with such tenderness that my heart jumped out of my chest. I admired his golden, diamond-like eyes that began to fade and in front of me was the old Palan with chocolate eyes.

- Your eyes, Hia... They're back to normal, - I didn't get a chance to savor his wolf eyes, which I loved immensely, because of the leaking.

- Yeah, Treasure. Yours too. Come on, I know where we'll go, - Palan kissed my cheek and stood up from the bed, lifting my body to put me on the floor.

My Alpha used his wolf thing again, turning to the head of security who was coming down the stairs and asked the man to take two people to go to the oceanarium. I've always wanted to see the sea from the inside. Asking the bodyguards to dress like normal people, I was sure there would definitely be a lot of kids there. I didn't want to attract unnecessary attention and scare the kids with uncles in strict suits. The guys came down to us dressed in simple pants, colorful t-shirts and sneakers. Only the head of security, Derek, was also wearing a black leather jacket. I smiled, pleased with their outfits, and Reno and Kahn left to get the car. On the way to the oceanarium, I lay on my man's shoulder and watched the twinkling buildings outside the window.

When we got there, I saw a huge building with a big round yellow dome and white columns. It was adjoined by another one of several floors with semicircular balconies, as it turned out - it was a huge parking lot. After buying the tickets we went inside and I felt like a Babe who had been taken by his daddy to see the fish. I was so excited that I kept looking around, watching the fish and seahorses. My Alpha only occasionally commented on something when he saw that I was interested in some fish. After almost an hour and a half, I wanted to go to the bathroom.

- Hia, I'm going to the bathroom. Don't go anywhere from here, okay? - I warned my husband, realizing that he would definitely be worried.

- I'll go with you, - he blurted out, and I wasn't surprised at all.

I made a hurt face and looked at him, because this hyper-parenting was annoying me. It was like I was not his wife, but a walking most expensive diamond that everyone was trying to steal.

- I'm not a little Babe, Hia, to be escorted to the bathroom by a delegation. I'll go myself, - I resented him, and he looked at me and smiled.

"Palan is such a Palan... I scold him and he smiles. How am I supposed to be angry?" - I thought while looking at the sly Alpha.

- Khun Wasu, I have to go to the bathroom too. If we don't leave now, your husband will definitely follow you, - I heard Derek's words and realizing that I had no choice anyway, I nodded.

Accompanied by Derek, I followed the signs to the restroom. Derek got a phone call and I heard Auntie Ubon calling because he called her by her first name. Deciding to let him talk on the phone I entered the restroom.

- So, asshole Mark, tell me, who did you steal the money from to buy the ticket? - I heard the Babe's mocking voice and, walking through the narrow hallway, I saw three guys pinning the Babe against the wall near the sink.

- I... I... didn't steal... - a quiet, sobbing voice stirred in me memories of the orphanage.

- Hey, guys! Didn't your parents teach you not to hurt little kids? - I asked in a serious tone, and the three teenagers turned toward me, shoving the boy with force.

- Didn't they teach you to mind your own business? - asked the taller boy, who looked to be about 17.

- Just because you're stronger doesn't mean you can bully others, Nong! - I continued to stand my ground, walking calmly towards them.

- Ha! And what can a man do to us? А? Guys, we have a hero saving the princess. Shall we show this knight where he belongs? - Another bully said sarcastically, and the three moved towards me.

One of the guys swung, trying to hit me in the face, but I grabbed him by the elbow, threw him over my hip and he fell to the tiled floor with a thud... Not even a minute later, all three of them were lying on the floor.

Back in the orphanage, I realized that if I didn't learn how to defend myself, I would be beaten all the time. So I went to Thai boxing and read several detailed books on capoeira at the library. I liked to mix the smooth, dance-like movements of Brazilian technique with Muay Thai kicks.

- Before you rush into battle, find out who your opponent is! - In a stern tone, just as Derek entered the bathroom, I adjusted my T-shirt, heading toward the frightened boy against the wall.

- Khun Wasu, what's going on here!!!! - Derek asked and looked at the three teenagers getting up from the floor.

- Teaching the young wolves good manners. If you tell Hia about this, I'll call you in front of him for sparring in the ring, demanding that you don't give in... Don't even think about it in front of him! - I threatened Derek.

However, when I looked up at him I saw that he wasn't looking at me, but at the trembling boy.

- You three! Get out of here! If I see you again, you'll be sorry! - Derek shouted and the boys ran out of the bathroom.

- Nong... Are you okay? They didn't do anything to you? - I asked softly, stroking the shoulder of the trembling boy with his head down.

- Hey... I won't hurt you, Nong... Let me see, - I said, lifting his face by his chin because I was worried they might have hit him.

I was staring at him with big blue eyes, which is atypical of Thais in general. One of his parents must have been European. After making sure he was okay, I asked Derek to watch him while I went to the bathroom. When I came out, the boy had already stopped shaking and was standing with rosy cheeks, rubbing at the hem of his gray sweatshirt.

"Why do I feel like it was Derek who calmed him down?" - A thought ran through my head as I went to wash my hands.

- Thanks, P. If it wasn't for you, they would have beaten me, - the boy thanked me quietly, raising his hands in a wai.

- Nong... Are you sure you're okay? - I clarified, and the boy nodded.

- Khun... We'd better go back if you don't want the Boss to ask any more questions, - Derek reminded me, and I was so worried about the boy that I'd forgotten that there was also a Palan in the aquarium.

- Go, P. It's okay, - he smiled strained, and Derek and I left the bathroom, heading back to Palan.

- What took you so long? - My Alpha asked nervously.

- There was a line, Hia, - I answered quickly, forgetting that Palan was a mind reader.

- A line, you say? - He interjected, shifting his gaze to Derek.

- Wasu! - Palan raised his voice, and people around us began to turn around.

- Are you lying to my face? Tell me yourself nicely, or it'll be worse if I find out from Derek's head! - Alpha growled irritably next to my ear, grabbing my elbow, and I realized that Derek's thoughts had burned me.

"Treblemaker! Can't even keep his thoughts to himself!" - I was angry with Derek.

- So that's how...I mean he didn't have to go to the bathroom, right? Derek went because you told him to? And what kind of trust are we talking about? - I replied with annoyance, because I remembered that Derek never went to the bathroom.

I looked at Palan and resented him for not trusting me. Wrenching my hand out of his arm, I stomped forward upset. Palan didn't stop me and I got even more upset even though I could feel his intense gaze on me.

"Might as well have come with me himself, still that 'Chatterbox is a find for a spy' thinking about what happened."

I was walking along looking at the fish when suddenly I saw Mark running in my direction. The boy noticed me and in his eyes I could see fear. Mark hid behind my back, grasping my arm tightly. I could feel him trembling because Mark was clinging tightly to my back. When I looked up I saw three guys running out from around the corner, who stopped about 2 meters away from us at the sight of me.

- Didn't I explain to you guys well enough that you can't hurt the weak? - I was angry that those three guys didn't understand me at all.

Palan stood behind me, I could see him out of the corner of my eye, looking at the three guys in front of us with interest. A moment later, Derek's broad back appeared in front of Mark and me, and as he approached the teenagers the man said something to them and the boys went pale. Palan stepped in front of me and turned Mark by the shoulders and asked calmly: - Are they hurting you, Nong Mark?

- It's okay Mark, don't be afraid. This Alpha is mine, - I smiled at the boy, pleased with my man's behavior.

- I want to warn you guys. If any of you or others at school hurt Mark, I'll let Derek do what he just said, and your bodies will go to the sharks in that oceanarium. Do I make myself clear? - My Alpha threatened the children, and by the look on their faces, he was showing them who was in front of them.

I grabbed my husband's hand and squeezed it lightly, seeing the three boys raising their hands in a wai quickly ran away.

- Overplaying it, Hia... - I realized that he was just playing with the kids.

I looked at the boy next to me and realized that if I let him go, he wouldn't be able to look at the fish, because those three would catch him somewhere else.

- Hia... Can he come with us? - I asked, and Palan nodded.

- Thank you, Khun. If it wasn't for you, they would have beaten me up in school tomorrow, - the boy thanked, folding his hands in a wai.

- Now you can enjoy your walk in peace, - I smiled at Mark and saw him not taking his eyes off of Derek in front of him.

Looking at the object of the boy's attention, who was staring at Mark unblinkingly, I called his name: - Derek... Derek....

Feeling a warm hand on my palm and looking up, I saw a smiling husband who shook his head and whispered softly: - I'll tell you later.

- Nong Mark, let's go. Derek! Keep the boy company and tell him about the animals in the aquariums. It's not the first time we've been here, - my Alpha suggested to the boy and he nodded smilingly.

- Yes, boss, - Derek agreed and led Mark ahead of us, talking about the sharks.

- Hia, what's going on? - I asked, seeing how strangely easy Mark and Derek were to talk to.

- So... Those three guys you put down in the bathroom because they were going to beat up a boy? - Palan asked in a whisper and I nodded.

- Why did Derek let you do that? - I could sense a note of irritation in his voice.

- Because I went in first and Derek had gotten a call from Auntie Ubon and he was on the phone with her. Or should I have let them hit him? Look how miniature Mark is, and those three... Ugh! I immediately remembered how in the orphanage I was beaten up by the other kids because I was different. So I stepped in. Hey, don't be evasive! - I explained to him why I did what I did.

- I get a weird sense of deja vu when I hear Derek's thoughts. It's very similar to what I thought when I first met you, - my Alpha continued and basically, I thought they were spiritual partners too.

- Hia... If you're right, what do we do? You lasted 10 days and now you won't let me go to the toilet, - I asked, walking with my husband by the hand and not paying attention to the people around me.

- If it's his partner, it's simple: he'll move into our house, just like White once did, - I was glad for his answer.

I don't remember how long we had been wandering the blue hallways, but suddenly my Alpha quickly pulled me to the bathroom.

- Hia, what are you doing? We're in a public place! - I scolded him, realizing that if he turned me on now, I definitely wouldn't stop.

- Baby, please... I need five minutes of silence... - that sweet pleading voice reminded me that it was hard for my Alpha to be around so many people for so long.

Stopping resisting, I let Palan drag me into the stall. He lowered the lid and sat down as usual, settling me on his lap. I already knew what was coming next and tilted my head slightly to make it more comfortable for my husband to rest his chin on my shoulder.

- M-m-m-m-m... Wasu... - husky voice burned my neck with his hot breath, and his soft lips barely touched my skin as he spoke.

"Damn... Palan... it's not like I'm iron..." - I thought, feeling my body getting covered in goosebumps from his gentle actions.

- Ah... - I couldn't hold back a moan.

His warm lips gently kissed my neck, without biting or sucking, and it was insanely exciting and sensual. When your loved one is so affectionate with you, how can you not get turned on? Even if I were a monk with 40 years of self-control, I wouldn't have been able to resist. I moved on his lap facing my husband and full of excitement covered his neck with kisses, embracing him.

- Ah... Treasure... Not here... - the Alpha moaned, tilting his head back and turning it to the side, giving me full access to his neck.

Palan's hands stroked my back, moving lower and lower to my ass, which clearly felt his excited cock.

- And who should I listen to, Palan... Your lips or your cock? - I whispered in his ear, provoking the wolf inside with a gentle bite.

- I just wanted silence, and now I want you... - his hands were squeezing my buttocks and if he decided to fuck me in the bathroom right now - I would agree.

- Baby, we can't do it here. There's still Derek and the baby walking around somewhere, we're setting a bad example..." my Wolf said with a heavy sigh of frustration and I smiled at his conscientiousness and got up from my knees, kissing him gently on the lips without penetration.

- Thank you, my Treasure. I feel better now, let's go find Derek," I'm not sure if Palan was telling me the truth about him feeling better, but I decided not to go to places like this with him again for such a long time.

- If you're tired, let's go home. We still have to see Alice off with King," I suggested, worried that my Alpha might have lied.

After leaving the restroom, Palan called Derek and arranged to meet him at the entrance. I saw the crowd of foreign tourists wandering there and suggested my husband wait outside so as not to torture him with a big train of thought. Just imagining what it would be like to hear a bunch of voices all around me all the time gave me a headache.

When Derek and Mark arrived, Palan suddenly asked how Mark would get home, and judging by my husband's furrowed brow, the boy had lied to him. Alpha offered to give him a ride and I supported his idea. From what I heard in the bathroom, Mark came from a poor family. Once in the car I asked him about her. He calmly told me that he lived with his aunt and her three children. I immediately remembered how hard it had been for me when I was on the street and discreetly pulled some 1000 baht bills out of my wallet.

As I asked Mark for his Line, I thought about his safety, of course, but I thought more about the fact that if he was Derek's partner, we would have a problem with his irritability within a week and I could invite the boy to visit, for the purpose of saving Derek's subordinates from terror. When we reached Mark's house, hugging him goodbye, I slipped some money into his sweatshirt pocket.

Back home, we picked up Alice and King and drove to the airport. I asked Alice to call me when they arrived. We got home just in time for dinner and then I dragged my Alpha to the library. Palan went straight between a few shelves picking up about 10 books and I went where Grandma Jha's note from the central library had directed me. I rolled up the stairs because row 18 was high. To be honest I wasn't sure the book was here.

Suddenly.

That's impossible... I looked at the shelf and saw three almost identical bindings. It looked like they made up a series of books, but the titles and authors of books 6 and 8 were different. It seemed like they were just disguising the book with the very same title, The Half-Blood Prophecy. I picked up the book and since it really was here, I decided to follow what Grandma Jia said and so I laid down on the couch to read the book.

There was a message written in pencil on the front, <Treasure, read this book carefully and memorize everything written in it. No one must know its contents but you. This is the only surviving copy of the book. This book is a paraphrase of the Creator's words, written down by Omega, who could hear him. I transcribed it for you myself at the dictation of Seinth, the same Omega. This book survived and did not fall into the hands of the Congregation because I took it away before Seint was found out. It will answer all your questions and guide you through the trials of fate. It will help you survive and save those you love. Don't waste your time, you have 7 minutes until your Power returns to you. With love and care, Truth.>

"Treasure... Power... Truth... Wasu... Palan... Sahja... 7 minutes? The words of the Creator?" - I pondered the written words and upon opening the first page, I immediately froze.

<First there was light and darkness, Sun and Moon, Creator and humans. When the Creator got bored, he descended into the world of mortals and spent 3 days there. When he created people, he did not think that they would be so interesting. The Creator wanted something new and decided to give some people a part of himself. It so happened that on the day of the Black Moon he had fun with people. After that, the children of the Moon appeared.

The Children of the Moon received the gift and the ability to turn into a wolf. After a while, the confrontation between humans and Wolves began. Wolves took the leading positions in the world, but along with strength comes weakness. Those who had one soul for two were both the strength and weakness of the Wolves. Humans killed spiritual partners and most Wolves died of longing and grief. Humans did not know that they had one heart and soul for two.

The Creator worried about the problems of his children and, taking possession of the body of the strongest Alpha, ordered the creation of the Congregation. Having created a union of humans and Wolves, he himself prescribed the main rule - inviolability of the soul in two bodies. Later, humans and Wolves added new rules and were able to reach a compromise in the survival of each species.

The creator was satisfied and for the first few thousand years his children lived in harmony. But no matter how hard he tried, the greed of human nature and the desire for power went nowhere. One day an Omega who could hear the Creator was brought to the Congregation, they took all of his manuscripts and then executed the man. From the manuscripts they created their own book of prophecies, which they interpreted in their own way. Because of their fear of the Chosen One, they imposed a ban on communication between species, hiding behind the weakness of the human body, and gradually wiped out all half-breeds.

The prophecy they feared so much was: "Three intertwined moons, three wolves: the false Alpha, the impure Omega, and the true Alpha. When all three join at the Black Moon, the old ways will fall at the feet of the Half-Blood, as will all the Wolves in the world."

The unholy Omega they so fear was born to an ordinary woman prematurely and the boy would have died had he not been helped by the Creator himself. To save the child and protect him, the Creator gave him three things: a drop of his blood to keep him alive, his partner's eyes to keep him hidden, and a gift to protect him...

Along with the partner's mark will come Strength and Power. They will walk the land, changing people and creating a new round of evolution for the Wolves...> - after reading a few pages, I began to understand what was happening.

I scrutinized each page, of which there were 77 in the book. Yes, I counted. Everything was handwritten in a pen in a handwriting that was familiar to me. At the end was a small note on the last page, <I hope I was able to help you and your husband. In 20 seconds, your Power will return to you. Close the book, Treasure, and hide the title under your arm. Return the book to its original place. It won't be there tomorrow. It's only in your head now.>

I obediently closed the book and took it in my hand, hiding the small title that seemed perfectly placed so that my palm would cover it while holding the book across.

- Did you find anything, Wasu? - Palan came up to me and looked at the book in my hands.

- Can we call it a day? I'm so tired, it's been a busy day... - I asked.

- Yes, you're right. Let's put the books away and go to bed. I have to work tomorrow, - my Alpha agreed and kissed my hair and went to put the books away.

I put the book back in its place and helped my husband with his stack of books. We went back to the bedroom. Turns out, while we were busy reading, I hadn't noticed a text message from Mark come into Line. He was berating me for the money in his pocket and I just smiled.

- What's so fun on the phone, Babedo? - My husband asked and I showed him the message from Mark.

Palan smiled and took off his shirt and headed for the shower. The sight of a half-naked man walking away was beautiful and I decided to take advantage of the opportunity... After a two-hour round in the shower, I had a hard time getting Alpha to stop, reasoning that he had to get up for work tomorrow. Palan agreed to go to bed.

After 3 days, Derek's Ozverine regimen was becoming more and more apparent and I decided to invite Mark to visit on Saturday. I felt sorry for the guys in the house who were getting more and more bruised each day from sparring with Derek.

After sending the car to pick up Mark, I called Derek into the living room. He was sparring again, and I could tell from his furrowed brow that he was pissing off about everything.

- Derek, we have a guest here tonight, and you look like you're ready to kill anyone who walks through that door, - I teased him, but he gave me a silent look that made it look like he was going to be representing me in the next sparring session.

- Ha! If you look at a guest with that look, he's sure to cry. You'll be the one to calm him down! - I threatened Derek and when I saw the car pull up, I smiled.

- Finally... Derek, you're coming with us today, - I said with a smile.

- You can take Light, Khun," the man finally spoke up.

- Light? I let him lie down after your training. I don't want the guests to see bodyguards beaten up. Whoever made the mess is responsible for the consequences, - I scolded him as Tong opened the door and Mark walked into the living room.

- Hello, Nong. How are you doing? I know you're after class and haven't eaten, come on, I haven't eaten lunch yet either, - I said hello in a kind tone without calling the boy's name while Derek still sat with his back to the door.

- Hi, P. I'm... Not really hungry... - Mark answered quietly without raising his head and Derek immediately turned at the sound of his voice.

- Oh... Mark, would you keep me company, please? My husband's away at a meeting today, and they're no fun. Look at his eyebrows, they can tie sea knots! - I nodded toward Derek.

I was confused that the boy didn't raise his head, so I moved closer.

"Weird... It's hot outside, and he's wearing a long sleeve sweater..." - I thought, but when I got closer I saw a busted lip.

Lifting his face by his chin to make sure, I felt a hand on my arm.

- It's okay, P... - the Babe said guiltily, taking his hand away from mine, and I noticed a bruise under his sleeve.

- Hey! What the hell is this?! I told you to call me if you needed help! - I scolded the Babe and his eyes immediately filled with tears.

- Mark! You can't take this, okay? - I put my hand on his shoulder.

Derek got up from the couch and walked over to the boy, lifting his head and arms to examine him.

- Who? - The one word in a low, stern voice reminded me of Palan in the study with Vivian.

I decided to step back and stay out of the way when I saw my husband walking home. I was about to go to the kitchen but came out of the house towards Palan.

- Hia, you are on time. Tell me you have a good lawyer? - I asked anxiously.

- Why do you need a lawyer? - He looked at me incomprehensively.

- And it wasn't for me, it was for Derek. Seems like three stupid teenagers are about to become corpses and the lawyer will have to bail him out of jail... - I joked as we opened the doors to the house.

Suddenly...

The living room was filled with an interesting sweet aroma, with Derek and Mark kissing in the middle of it... Palan smiled and leaned towards me and said quietly: - I think we'll need a room in the west wing again soon.

- Ahem. Ahem. Derek, maybe not in the living room after all? - Palan smirked as the man in front of us released the boy from his embrace.

Mark blushed instantly and I understood him perfectly. It's not something we can control. When a partner is around us, the attraction is so strong that it's impossible to resist.

- Nong Mark... I have a proposal. From today, you're going to live here. You'll have your own room. Derek, have it ready. I know you're worried about your aunt. Don't worry, we'll take you home tonight to get your things, and I'll write her a check for 20 million. I think that will be enough to fix up the house, pay off the debts and give your cousins a good future. Derek will drive you to and from school. When you finish school, you can apply to any university you want, I'll pay the tuition... - my Alpha said, and the boy stood there barely holding back his tears.

Derek put his hand on his shoulder and Mark snuggled into his stomach, sobbing. Derek was as tall as Palan, but little Mark was about a meter and a half. They made a funny couple, a huge tiger and a little blue-eyed kitten. Thin arms wrapped around the man's waist, and Derek stroked his hair. Strangely enough, Mark calmed down quickly.

- Don't cry, Mark. I'm glad you're going to live here. Oh, Derek, show him the house and I have an important conversation with my husband, - I decided to leave them alone and dragged Palan into the bedroom.

These days he doesn't take me to the office with him, and it's weird... I miss him madly at home alone without him, spending most of my time in the library reading everything there is to read. So I'm glad Mark will be living here and I'll have a friend.

I pulled my husband into the bedroom and pushed him to sit on the couch. Comfortable on his lap, I snuggled against his body and his head was already resting on my shoulder, breathing in my scent. I don't know why I miss him so much myself. If I could, all 24/7 I would want to feel the warmth of his body.

- I missed you so much... - I whispered, and after saying that, he kissed my neck gently.

- Me too, my Treasure, - he whispered softly, and his warm breath touched my ear and my body went to goosebumps all the way to my heels.

- Wasu, in two weeks there will be a tender for the areas for the new hotels. I want you to come with me. We'll go to the office together on Monday so you can familiarize yourself with the details," my Alpha hugged me tightly around the waist and I pressed my whole body against his chest.

- You know, Hia, I'd do anything for you.

In the evening, the four of us drove to Mark's house. The woman was sobbing, guessing the reasons for our actions. She said it was Mark's decision because he was already 18. It turned out that after his parents died, Mark hadn't been in school for a few months and that's why he wasn't promoted to the next grade, and he's also older than me by about six months. Mark, just by looking at Derek, agreed to come with us.

No one hurt Mark anymore, because on Monday Derek drove him to school and stopped by the principal's office... I can imagine the details of their conversation if those three now address Mark as P and buy his lunch themselves.

Derek used to rarely leave the house because he has to keep an eye on everything in the house while my husband is away. But now this Alpha drives and picks up his boy to and from school every day. Mark and I have really become friends and after almost two weeks, I started to notice that he's munching on everything and constantly dragging around the toy kitten that Derek gave him. I guess the West Wing will be opening its doors again soon....
