<Episode 45>

Thud, thud!

Abellard was desperately trying to break through the wall blocking his path.

The more he used his divine power, the stronger it seemed to get, so he began hitting it with his bare hands, which seemed to be more effective.

Abellard’s hands were now covered in blood as he punched the wall.

Then he realized—it wasn’t his bare hands that weakened the wall, but the blood.

Lumeros was the goddess of Betas, overseeing the past and acting as the deity of creation.

She was known for her benevolence. If that were the case, she wouldn’t have made the wall completely indestructible.

As the goddess of creation, she mediated between the gods of destruction and life, giving chances to both the created and the destroyer.

Even if she gave opportunities to one of the two people chosen by Eveline, she wouldn’t completely strip away the chances of the other.

Abellard summoned his sword with his divine power. The translucent wall in front of him turned white and more solid.

He cut his palm with the sword, then dismissed it and smeared his blood on the wall.

The area touched by his blood turned translucent, then red, and he could see through to the other side.

He punched the wall hard.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Cracks began to form in the wall, and Abellard continued to pound on it.

When his fists were completely covered in blood, a hole appeared in the wall.

With renewed strength, he punched the wall even harder.

Boom!

The wall crumbled and fell on top of him.

Too exhausted to avoid it, Abellard was buried under the debris and fell to the ground. After some time, he managed to get up.

The debris was as heavy as bricks, leaving him battered and bruised.

But he had no time to focus on the pain.

If he left Eveline and Elkais alone, they would imprint on each other.

Even if Elkais denied his feelings for Eveline, it was just his emotions. If the goddess interfered, clouding his reason and accelerating Eveline’s heat cycle, she wouldn’t realize what was happening and would succumb to it.

They would imprint, leaving Abellard with no chance.

Eveline’s mate would forever be Elkais.

“Then I’ll just kill him.”

He thought about killing Elkais to break their imprint.

When the imprint partner dies, the other goes mad for a while, but eventually regains their sanity.

Abellard didn’t want Eveline to suffer, so he never considered this method before.

But if they imprinted, he would kill Elkais right in front of her.

With this thought, he quickly retraced his steps.

The sun had completely set. Despite this, it wasn’t raining, as if to prevent his heat cycle from interfering, stopping him from going to Eveline.

Out of breath, he ran with all his might.

His heavy breathing echoed through the forest.

* * *

“Haha.”

Elkais laughed, the sound mingling with the crackle of the fire as they played another round of Jenga.

Eveline watched as the Jenga tower crashed down under Elkais’s hand. She felt so giddy that she laughed, seeing him start to remove his pants.

“Who said you could take those off?”

“Didn’t you tell me to undress?”

“I’m going to do it for you.”

She didn’t realize that her body’s heat was due to her heat cycle.

She thought it was just the alcohol making her feel so good, combined with the high-calorie chocolate.

The forest scent she noticed wasn’t from Elkais’s pheromones, but she mistook it as the breeze carrying the scent due to the absence of rain.

The red eyes that had always made her tense were now a bright gray, giving a gentle impression.

“Your eyes look like a wolf’s.”

“Do I seem like a wolf to you?”

“You’re more like a panther, a black panther.”

She gave in to her desire to touch him, approaching him without restraint. She pressed her finger against Elkais’s pectoral muscles.

“How does it feel when I touch you?”

Elkais found it hard to think. It felt as if something was controlling his body.

When her hand touched him, he felt completely captivated, unable to do anything.

In the past, he might have thought she was acting this way because she was intoxicated by pheromones. He would have tried to control his feelings, blaming the pheromones.

But not now.

Now, it was as if…

“I want to imprint on you.”

“You know how to do that.”

“I want to leave my mark on your neck.”

“Is that all?”

“No.”

Elkais kissed her palm while watching her expression.

When his lips touched her skin, her red eyelashes trembled slightly.

Her blue eyes looked deeper, likely due to her anticipation.

“Huh…”

Elkais gently bit Eveline’s palm, then traced her fingers with his lips before taking them into his mouth.

Eveline shivered at the sensation of his soft mouth against her fingers. She used her index and middle fingers to pull back from his teasing tongue.

“Elkais.”

She called his name, then pulled her hand away. A thin string of saliva stretched and then broke.

Eveline gripped his shoulders, pressing herself closer to him. He sighed deeply and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“The scent from you makes my head feel fuzzy.”

“I feel the same. I didn’t notice it before, but now I can sense your pheromones.”

At her words, Elkais tried to control his pheromones.

They had been running wild like a broken machine, but now he managed to regulate them.

As he released a concentrated dose of his pheromones, Eveline’s body shivered.

“Ah…”

“So, you can really feel my pheromones now.”

Elkais felt a surge of happiness.

Until now, it seemed only he had been tormented by her pheromones. Despite turning into an Omega, she hadn’t been able to sense an Alpha’s pheromones well.

But now, she was reacting to his pheromones, her body heating up in response.

“Ha…”

Their mutual attraction was undeniable, and the intensity of their feelings made the moment all the more overwhelming. As their bodies drew closer, they were both enveloped in a haze of desire and pheromones, caught in a moment that seemed both inevitable and electrifying.

Eveline looked at him with eyes moist from the heat.

Elkais wanted to kiss her. More than that, he wanted to bite her neck first and imprint on her, making her his Omega.

Then she would show this expression only for his pheromones.

“How do my pheromones feel?”

“Ah, it’s so… strong… but it feels good.”

She seemed truly intoxicated by his pheromones, her whole body sensitive. The thin clothes she wore felt uncomfortable, and her underwear beneath felt constricting.

She released his arms.

As she undid the first button of her negligee, Elkais’s throat bobbed visibly.

“Do you want to undress me with your mouth?”

“Can I?”

“Yes.”

As soon as she said this, he buried his face in her chest. Feeling the soft texture, he sighed deeply and undid her buttons with his teeth.

Eveline shuddered as his high nose brushed against her cleavage. She hugged his head tightly, then relaxed her grip.

“Caress me, Eveline.”

“Yes…”

She stroked his hair. He lowered his lips to the third button, struggling to undo it with his mouth, and his nose repeatedly brushed against her chest.

“Hmph…”

She held her breath, feeling ticklish as he nibbled and released her skin through the thin fabric.

“Elkais.”

He looked up at her call, her eyes focused solely on him.

Seeing the nervous expression she had never shown before, he undid the third button. Then he moved to the fourth button.

When he touched the button below her chest, she reacted more sensitively.

Seeing her excitement through her clothing, he grinned with pleasure. As she gripped his hair and pulled, he moved his jaw and undid the last button.

As she twisted her body, her skin peeked through the blue buttons. He stared at her ample, fair flesh and bit the button near her navel.

“Hurry…”

Her urging made him bite and tear off the button.

“I’ll use my hands from here.”

“Okay.”

She answered eagerly, also in a hurry.

He undid the buttons with his hands but soon grew impatient, grabbing the parted fabric and pulling it apart. The buttons flew off with a ripping sound.

As he caressed her body, now only clad in white underwear, he asked, “Should I undress you, or will you do it yourself?”

Her eyes reflected her anticipation, her body trembling slightly from the tension and excitement. This moment, where desire met with the primal need to connect, was palpable and electrifying, the air thick with their shared breaths and the unspoken yearning between them.
