Chapter 83: Too Pessimistic
While Zenith’s actions had already left Kylian awestruck, Morpheus’s commentary inside his head made him blush so hard that his earlobes reddened a bit.
Leaning his face down to hide his bashful side from Zenith while grabbing that room key from his hand, Kylian scolded his wolf with the mind-link, "Morpheus, didn’t I tell you before not to put weird thoughts in my head? Just stop spouting nonsense like this..."
~ "But don’t you see his sincerity through his actions, Kylian? He seems really concerned for you!"
Morpheus sounded quite blunt from his tone but Kylian exhaled a heavy sigh before shutting him up, "Look, no matter how sincere he seems now, we can’t forget he’s someone who was a bully. Besides, this guy is a pervert, and who knows maybe he reacts like this to everyone else? While you are busy trying to find meaning behind his every action, maybe Zenith is just pestering me now because he’s aware of my secret.
"I know rich brats like him often tend to get bored quickly and leave us commoners alone sooner or later. So, don’t take his actions seriously..."
~ "Do you...really think he’ll leave you soon?" After a brief pause when Morpheus grunted at him in a stiff tone, it rendered Kylian speechless for a moment. Just the thought of Zenith leaving his side was making his heart feel strangely uneasy, but while he was too prideful to admit it, Morpheus scoffed at him, "You’re just deluding yourself into thinking like that, Kylian. Maybe he’s seriously concerned for you—"
"It’s futile to trust rich influential Alphas anyway. And you’re the one deluding yourself if you are taking his actions seriously, Morpheus. People like us live in two separate worlds...especially Zenith, the world he lives in...I could never reach no matter how much I try to stretch my arms."
Interrupting Morpheus’s words, Kylian’s face turned a bit grim while he was speaking about a reality that he had already anticipated from his complicated relationship with Zenith. Glancing down at the shining key of Zenith’s room in the grip of his palm, a sad smirk gently curved his lips when he spoke to his wolf, "Now that I have transitioned into an Omega, I don’t want to get hurt by someone like him.
"I will be mindful not to fall for his cheesy tricks, so it’s better if you brace yourself if you don’t want to end up heartbroken, Morpheus. Children belonging to powerful families are all the same. They would abandon us as soon as they found a new suitable pet for them. Well, I don’t mind either. Until I am here, I will have to stay close to him to survive inside the Academy, but I am very sure we will never cross each other’s paths again once we get out of here."
~ "Goodness, you’re just too pessimistic and cold!" Morpheus scowled, exhaling a big sigh when he grunted at Kylian, "Fine, then let’s make a bet. Let’s see if he succeeds in breaking the cold walls you have built around your heart with his efforts, or he will really leave your side just as you stated."
"Oii?"
"Huh?" While Kylian was deeply indulged in his conversation with Morpheus, he didn’t realize when Zenith had moved closer while watching him turn suddenly glum out of the blue. Winced from his call, when Kylian lifted his eyes up, he locked his gaze with his keen concerned dark eyes staring at him.
