Takamichi's Pov

It's been around five days or so since we last had the pack meeting. I have barely seen Wakasa or Izana around; they are both busy with work. Wakasa has resumed his normal role by Shiro's side. Although there was a drastic change between the two, they were distant, and Shiro was even colder towards Wakasa. Wakasa has bags under his eyes and is constantly agitated.

I felt so horribly. Wakasa wouldn't have to go through all this if he didn't defend us. My thoughts were snapped out as I felt a poke on my cheek. I glanced at the familiar white and black hair as I saw Wakasa drop his head on my shoulder. Ah, they got home. We were in the living room watching the same room-com series Fuya has us watching for the hundredth time. "He has you watching this again?" Wakasa says, it was obvious that he was drained.

"Hey, this is a great show!" Fuya shouts, his eyes still glued to the TV. I hear Wakasa let out a weak chuckle. "Guess he worked you out," Mitsuya says as he leans his head against Wakasa's shoulder. "Mnm barely got a break." Wakasa replies, it's only then that I saw how exhausted he really was. He was slowly sleeping away on himself. "You want us to carry you to bed?" I asked.

He quickly shook his head. "I can't. I have too much to do," Wakasa says. "I'm sure he won't mind if you take a quick nap." I try to convince him. "He would." I glanced at Izana, who gave Wakasa a cup of coffee. "He has been working for him since he got back to work. He barley even got to eat, and let's not mention the... " Wakasa cuts off Izana by mouthing something to him. Before, I could say anything Shiro came. He didn't say anything, but I can tell he was pissed off. His pheromones were stifling. He grabbed Wakasa's arm and started to drag him upstairs.

I stayed silent as he dragged me up all the stairs. I was so tired; I barely had gotten sleep or to do anything. He's always had me doing things that he can than have a guard or someone else do them. Has me been doing constant errands, work he's supposed to do, and just way more than the normal amount? He even has me waking up in the middle of the night to do paperwork.

I felt myself being pushed into his room as I stumbled forward and tried not to fall on my face. I was so tired, and I felt horrible. Not only has he given me the extra work, but it's the constant degrading and guilt-tripping. It even has me thinking that maybe it's my fault he's acting this way. Maybe if I didn't say anything, no,I did it for them. But is all this pain really worth it?

"Can't you do anything, correct!?" I flinched when he started to shout. "I ask you to finish the contract, just one contract. I needed you to finish, and you couldn't even do that? Just how much more do you want to disappoint me?" I bit my lip. Contract? I did tell him I couldn't finish it because he needed to finalize it. But he just shouted something else for me to do. I'm not even supposed to do it in the first place.

"Just how much of a bad mate are you going to continue to be?" I felt all my resolve crumple after hearing him say that. Bad mate? I was a bad mate. Sure, I may have disobeyed him, talked back, and even shouted at him, but that's not me being a bad mate. I was just worried for our omegas. That's all.

"I am not a bad mate. You're just a terrible leader!" I shouted. I quickly snapped my mouth shut after that. I stared at Shin, who was now completely quiet. I flinched when I saw him start to walk away. Was he just going to leave? That's it? "Where are you going?" "Away from you. I'm a bad leader. How much have I done for you? Wakasa, your one ungrateful bitch." I couldn't help but feel guilt. I didn't mean to say that. I didn't.

"You know what? Since you hate me being your leader so much, leave." I froze when I heard what he said. I then saw him open our shared wardrobe as he started to take out some of my clothes and drop them on the floor. "N-no...that not..." "What do you expect? You tell me I'm a bad leader but expect to stay here. To continue to hurt us. Look at you. What kind of mate hurts their mate so much? Do you know how much you have been hurting me?"

I have been hurting him? Then it started to weigh down on me. If I hurt him so much, then I hurt the others. Was I really a bad mate? I felt tears run down my cheeks. I don't want to leave. No, I just... I just wanted to protect them and our omegas. I didn't mean for this to happen. I don't want this.

"I'm going to tell the others. I'm going to tell you that you want to leave. Tell them you hate them." I immediately stood up. "No! No! I don't hate them or you." Apologize. I have to say sorry. So, he'll see I'm not a bad mate, and I don't hate them.

"I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." I tried to apologize to him, but then he started to walk away. I quickly grab his hands. "No, no, don't tell them; I don't want to leave. I won't do it again." "You think it's that easy?' Shin says this time he sounded so sad. I started to cry even more. I felt my chest tighten. I felt like I couldn't breathe. "I'm sorry; it won't happen again, promise." I don't even know what I was saying anymore. I felt as if I couldn't take it anymore. I felt so guilty. I felt my legs gave out as I continued to cry and beg.

I smiled as I stared at Wakasa. He was now gasping and apologizing on the ground. I couldn't help the smile on my face. It went exactly as I planned it. These few days, I consistently pressured him and made him feel guilty, even now. It was all according to plan. Now he kept begging and apologizing. This is how it was supposed to be all along.I sighed as I sat down on the bed. The one thing that is Wakasa's weakness is guilt. He can't take guilt. That's not it; he's also really cautious about being a bad mate. Well, he isn't; actually, he is a great one, but he doesn't need to know that. I did kind of feel bad. But it's better this way. Plus, he had it coming.

He couldn't just shut his mouth and continue being obdient. Well, I just have to make sure he's completely broken down, so no one else dares to disobey me. I glanced down at Waksa, who was now at my feet. He was still apologizing. Maybe I should stop. He looks like he's about to have a complete breakdown.

Nah, this is too much fun. I smiled as I grabbed his cheeks with both hands. "You want me to forgive you?" I ask. I watched as his eyes began to fill with hope as he nodded. "Why should I? After all, you're a terrible mate." With that, I got up and left the room.
