Kimi no Shiawase wo Negatteita 3 (I Wish You Happiness 3)

Part 31

"You know that the week right after you get marked is called the honeymoon, and it's just you and me."

"Yes."

This is a well-known story, so I'm sure most people are familiar with it. Whenever an Alpha and an Omega get together, not only in the turn of the soul, they enter the honeymoon period.

"Do you know why the honeymoon period is a week?"

"Because the Omega's heat period is one week?"

"Well, that's generally true, but there are cases where it doesn't apply."

So it depends on the individual. Well, I think it makes sense. Some people have lighter heats than others, so I guess there is some margin for error.

"Here's the thing. I want you to listen to what I have to say and think it over before you respond. The alpha creature is very attached to its partner. Therefore, if they are parted from their mate, they cannot bear it and become mentally ill, and others will try to follow them."

"Yes."

This was the case with Raizo-san. The shocking sight of the effect of Kanade's death when he was being protected by the Suzunari family is still burned in my eyes.

"This tendency is stronger for alphas who have mated with their soulmate, and the higher the alpha, the more obsessed they become. The more obsessive you are, the longer the honeymoon period. He will surround his mate in his nest and not let him go until his scent is soaked into his body. Even if their mate's heat is over, the alpha's pheromones will force him to continue.
If I had marked you as soon as I found out that you were my soulmate, I would have locked you up for a while. Never let you out, never let you see anyone. Even family members are no exception to this rule.
Misae, being the alpha who got her soulmate, was well aware of the situation and agreed to delay me marking Wakaba.

I wanted to let her have some family time before the wedding, and I also wanted to give you some fun memories as a lover after all the pain she you have endured.
I wanted to show you that it was not because it was the soulmate, but because I love you from the bottom of my heart. I wanted you to have a happier wedding than anyone else, with the memory that you were loved at all times."

I was dumbfounded as I listened to Shigure's words.

I didn't know that Shigure had thought so much about me. I didn't think it meant that much to him, and I thought he was more of a romantic than I thought, wanting to wait until wedding night.

Shigure got up from the sofa, knelt in front of me like a knight swearing allegiance to his master, took my hand from my grip and pressed it over his heart.

"I've almost lost Wakaba three times now. The first time was when Wakaba tried to leave me, the second time was when Shiraishi attacked you, and the third time is today. You know what Alpha will do when he is about to lose his soulmate, right?
It's going to be terrible. I will want Wakaba day and night. Even if Wakaba cries that you don't want to be with me anymore, I won't let you go. If you resist, I might have to bind your hands and feet to the bed.

If anyone gets in the way of our honeymoon, I will use any dirty trick I can to get rid of them. Since there would be no one to stop me like my assistant did with Shiraishi, I might even kill them. And the honeymoon will continue until I'm satisfied. I can assure you, it won't last just for a week. It may even last until Wakaba is pregnant. That's how much madness I'm keeping in my chest."

Behind the calm smile on his face, Shigure was harbouring a raging passion in his heart.

The hand that was pressed against Shigure's heart was hot. And his heartbeat is pounding hard and powerfully, as if he's trying to convey his obsession with me.
His cheeks were flushed and slightly moist, as if he was still enduring the urge for me, and his expression was so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off him.
