Ryujin lay asleep as if dead, while Ilya stood by the window, pouring vodka into a glass, watching the morning sun slowly brighten the sky. His gaze briefly touched Ryujin before pulling away.

Thinking back to the sensations of pleasure that Ryujin had elicited within him, blood rushed downwards. He had labeled the aroused Omega as a beast, but he was no different himself. The realization left a bitter taste in his mouth.

At least he hadn't given in to his desires within Ryujin. He had no intention of seeing his own bloodline within that rascal. The mere thought was repulsive.

Of course, having sex during the heat cycle didn't guarantee immediate pregnancy. While it was the most fertile period, it was still just a fifty-fifty chance. But even that level of possibility was unacceptable.

Knock... Knock...

He heard a knock at the door.

<It's Andrei.>

After confirming the visitor, Ilya responded that it was okay for Andrei to come in. Andrei entered, briefly glancing at the bed before approaching Ilya without showing any particular expression.

<I'm glad nothing happened.>

In response to his words, Ilya raised one corner of his mouth in a faint smirk.

<Nothing happened... well, it's not a big deal.>

After all, he had merely used the hostage as a partner in bed. Looking at it that way, it wasn't a big deal.

<It seems like the heat cycle has subsided.>

Andrei looked back at Ryujin, who was sleeping naked and commented. Ilya positioned himself to block Ryujin from his gaze as if cutting him out of the picture.

<Should I call the doctor?>

<Why would you do that?>

Instead of answering, Andrei gestured towards Ryujin. If Ilya intended to keep the Omega around, having proper examinations and prescribing suppressants would be appropriate. Ilya didn't need a lengthy explanation to understand that.

However, Ilya didn't respond immediately. His emerald eyes sunk deeply, revealing his contemplation.

<No need for that.>

The response that came after a long pause was unexpected.

<Boss, what if something like this happens again?>

<You worry unnecessarily. We can't be certain the kid will even make it to the next heat cycle.>

<Ah...>

With nothing more to say, Andrei lowered his head, showing a sign of retreat, and left Ilya's room. However, he hesitated outside the door for a while before finally walking away.

Strange. Both Ryujin and the boss had their peculiar aspects. Ryujin's pheromones were incredibly potent, unlike those of a typical Omega. Even Betas, who weren't Alphas, were overwhelmed by his scent when they got close. The fact that Ilya personally brought him in and even laid hands on the hostage undergoing his test was unimaginable to the usual members of the organization.

The loyalty of the organization's members to Ilya was more steadfast than in any other group. For them to succumb to pheromones and defy, Ilya's command was almost unheard of. Hence, even those who were shot didn't complain. They understood without explanation that the boss had aimed at them to stop them, and even if it was that way, they were grateful for being halted and relieved that they weren't discarded due to this incident.
