Chapter 216: Between The Long Wars
[KOSTA]
"Did he tell you that you had to be an omega with him? Is that why you asked about your scent? I just don’t understand, Igor. You have always talked fondly of him like he is the best thing you ever met.
"You never considered him a prince or even you an omega or a bounty hunter. For you, he was always the one you love and clearly, he loves you too. Why do you want to go the distance then?
"The King didn’t remove you from your position and the mad King never missed anything. He had to have known who you were. He always knows even shit that we never know of.
"And your Erasthai didn’t get hostile with you, so why are you running away?" Akila asked in earnest. He knew Konstantin and he knew that the man was capable of so many things.
He understood the dynamics of what was supposed to be and wanted to be kept on the sidelines. It was something that could take so much for them, but also something that could cost them more than possible.
Maybe that was why Akila was honestly in confusion.
He had seen the two and he had watched the both of them fawn over each other with every step of the way. It was like they were the blueprint of love and suddenly all of that was aching and they didn’t know what it would mean to be on the other side and a fate like this.
"I am not running away. I am here on a bounty hunt. You are here too. None of us is running away, we are just on assignment," Igor insisted and Akila stared at him sadly. He could see the stress marks on the Lycan chief’s face and he felt terrible for the man.
Regardless of what this was about, regardless of what there would be for them, Akila knew that even Igor Konstantin desert happiness. He needed it to live just like every other person.
Happiness was the one thing that fate had tried to shove in their faces that they couldn’t have but right now, it was something that Akila couldn’t help but wish for Igor.
