Hi.

Call down. Whatever you are gonna learn in this chapter, read it slowly or it will go bounce over your head💜.

Enjoy💜.

The Royal Alpha finished the second round of the southern territories, walking slowly with his hands placed securely behind his back. However, his mind was occupied by something else. The suffocation in his throat wasn't painful anymore, the unbearable control he needed to inhabit before facing the omega wasn't unbearable anymore. The immense anger that flew through his veins whenever the Omega opened his mouth, wasn't immense anymore. It is there but not like before…

And that's the thing that is bothering the king for a while now. His left hand comes up, pushing his hair backward from his forehead, and then tying them with the other hand by the band. He tied his hair in a half bun but still, a few stubborn shards fell across his eyes. 

The Alpha wandered around aimlessly, mind buzzing when a warm breeze of night twirled the little tresses back to his ears. He focussed ahead and found a big oak tree, so he decided to sit there for a while. 

Balancing his body with ease the Alpha climbed to the most top branch before settling on it with his legs dangling on either side and back resting against the trunk of the tree.

The warm wind felt soothing across his face and Taehyung closed his eyes involuntarily. The rainy season is near, he can sense it in the misty air. 

They have decided to renovate this land at the very right time, one less day, and the entire hard work will go in vain. He should start ploughing the field right after the arrival of cattle.

With a long sigh of relief, Taehyung opened his eyes and looked up. The night was starry, so many stars covering the entire expanse of the sky without any sense of partiality. 

His eyes roamed over the sky and stopped at the most radiating object, the moon. The suffocation came back along with the anger, his jaw ticked in a sneer before averting his eyes from it.

What's bothering you at this hour, your Majesty? Van was aware of the King's inner turmoil but sometimes the wolf needed to communicate just to be sure that the person it shares its soul with is the same person as before.

Taehyung heard the voice but his mind wasn't prepared to answer it. What answer does he have? that his mind is occupied by a person that he didn't want to do anything with. A person that he wants to stay away from? 

Yet his eyes still moved in the direction where they can clearly see the white pavilion, so far but so clearly. The Alpha can even hear the soft puffs of the omega, an assurance that the latter is in deep slumber. 

"Just today, I said that he is no different." Taehyung wished he was right. But running away from reality is not something an Alpha should do, the Royal Alpha knows the truth and now… feeling it too.

"But…" 

But he can't speak it out. His insides were screaming at him that once he let it out, the reality will become nothing but a myth and a new chapter of lie will begin the same as…before.

"But he is different." 

Taehyung's eyes moistened but his face was still stoic, with no expressions visible at all. He nodded his head, just a little shake downward as if he was accepting it. 

"How? How is he different, your Majesty?" The wolf was sitting calmly in his subconscious mind, leaning on his hind legs, front paws straight supporting his posture.
