Adversity

XXIII

Both the parties calmly listened to Phayu's explanation once Tine informed them about the situation. Phayu's parents shook their head in disappointment while Sarawat was fuming with anger

"How could you make a permanent mark instead of a temporary, by mistake?!" Sarawat shouted in disbelief

"Phee! I swear I didn't realise it, plus it's not like it's my daily thing to mark an omega ..." Phayu answered back. Since Vegas and Pete were here, Phayu was feeling bold

"Both the kids are equally responsible for this accident..." Pete spoke which made Sarawat looks at him sharply in anger

"Your son lied and ran away, even after warning from my Phayu to bring the inhibitor with him, he ignored it! So please don't act like our son has ill intentions! This was just an incident" Pete said straightforward manner in Phayu's defence, Phayu looks at his Paa in admiration and nodded

Sarawat was speechless, he was upset but he knew that Pete was right. Phayu did what he thought was best at that moment and Sarawat also knew that the younger alpha wasn't a wicked person.

He rubs his forehead feeling lost, Tine looks at Sarawat in worry and pats his back while he speaks, "We don't blame Phayu, Phayu had good intentions and Rain is equally responsible for this..."

Even Pete became less hostile and folded his hand in front of his chest while looking at Sarawat in caution. He was still upset about Sarawat beating his son twice.

Meanwhile, Vegas shook his head seeing this conversation was going nowhere and interfered, "Let's put this argument on the side and focus on poor omega first. They already formed an incomplete bond, I think it's best to let Phayu complete the bond first...."

Sarawat looked freaked out hearing Vegas while Phayu was startled too, Vegas looked at his son sharply and spoke, "Whether by mistake or on purpose, that Omega is your mate! Phayu, you have to accept him and you both need to work it out..."

"Khun is right, The marking has already formed. No one can reverse it without putting Rain under pain... I hope Phayu will complete the bond..." Tine looks at Phayu hopefully.

Tine was scared that Phayu might be reluctant to do so. He just hopes things get sorted out and Rain does not suffer anymore. He grabs Sarawat's hand to calm him down, Tine knew that Sarawat wasn't happy with this solution.

".... Can I go and see, Rain?" Phayu asked awkwardly as he looked at his mentor who was quiet. Tine squeezed Sarawat's hand who finally looked at Phayu and nodded with a heavy heart.

"Bite his gland again, this time deeper and eject your pheromone till you see Rain calming down. Best to continue for a couple of minutes more to avoid an incomplete exchange..." Vegas told Phayu in a serious tone. The younger alpha nodded as he listened to his father's instructions.

Phayu wai at them before following Sky and PraPai towards Rain's room. Charlie felt awkward to stay behind and quickly went after them which left both parents alone sitting opposite to each other.

Sarawat remained silent while Tine felt helpless looking at him mate, both Vegas and Pete shared a look before Vegas finally spoke, "I can understand how you might be feeling right now. My youngest child is omega too. When imagining him in this situation, even I would feel resentful and hatred"

"Imagining and going through it are two different things, Khun Vegas. My cub is lying sick in a hospital bed, and suddenly I'm being told that my most promising student happened to mark him! I don't even know what 's gonna happen next, if Phayu decides not to have anything to do with Rain after this ...."

Sarawat was interrupted by Pete suddenly, "Khun, stop thinking too much. We, Theerapanyakul would never rub away from responsibilities and Phayu won't either. Phayu marked Rain so Rain is his mate now...."
