My Alpha Fiance

Chapter 9

Yunhyeong's POV

It's been two months since our big fight.
I heard my parents the same night talking. Apparently, Chanwoo had a breakdown because of the fight.
He cried. He actually cried to his dad that he's not the alpha he raised.

But he was trying really hard since, and I could see he's trying hard to gain my trust and affection back.

I got my own scolding, being asked how I managed to make my alpha this upset.
I refused to go out of my room for a while. l couldn't face anyone and I felt down.

Since I'm the omega, I didn't get a punishment. Both mom and dad talked with me. Donghyuk too eventually.
He apologized over and over and I had no idea what to do. I still need time.

Experiencing heartbreak twice is a nightmare. But I'm slowly getting better.

"Yunhyeongie...? I arrived..." I heard Chanwoo's voice and looked at the door of my room, seeing him peeking.

"Come in..." I said quietly.

He walked in, lying down next to me on the bed, and gently hugged me, brushing my hair.

At some point after a few conversations and really short meetings in our garden, I started to allow Chanwoo to come to my place again and he would try to comfort me.

He's really trying hard... Everything bad already happened, what could go worse.

"Let's groom you...?" He asked softly so I let my ears and tail show and so did he, starting to lick my ears to clean them. It felt nice almost like when Donghyuk used to do it.

I learned that Chanwoo really is a white wolf. They're such a beautiful breed...
Will my baby be a white wolf as well?

"You have such beautiful and soft fur..." he said softly, holding me closer to himself.

I hummed at that, closing my eyes to the touch.
Lately, my room started smelling a lot like Chanwoo. He wasn't coming over every day since he's from a different territory, but my friends didn't get into my room as much as they used to, so his scent stayed.

I mostly texted them when I had the power.

This... This might not be as worse as my first breakdown, but it surely was the first I got upset and said what I think.

I didn't want to just let him leave and cry to myself. I wanted Chanwoo to know exactly what he did.
And now he's doing better. He seems to be over his own breakdown. But I can't really know...

Though, the fact he also had a breakdown after our fight...

"Chan..." I mumbled softly, receiving a hum in return. "Why... Why are you trying so hard...?"

I asked Donghyuk the same question when he was over. He apologized a lot, bringing a plush and ice cream as a peace offering.

I wasn't upset with him to begin with, but he was upset with himself.
He said that even if we're not mates, I'm still his brother. And he'd still look after me if he can or needs to.

Even if I have my alpha, and he'd have his own. He'd step back only if I'd ask him to.

Having him as my brother... Is disappointing. But it's the best I'd get. And I should be happy I still have him in my life.
So now I want to know why Chanwoo is trying so hard for me.
Why after everything... He still comes here.
He still tries to cheer me up...
He still tries to make me get over everything.

He hummed again, holding me closer to himself. "Because you're my mate... and I love you."

"We're only engaged..." I said, "and still, I delayed the union between our packs because of all this mess..."
