Chapter 94 - 3.34 Can’t Let Go
Abruptly the image of Oliver’s hurt expression flashed through his mind and the quick rundown of his demise in the original plot. How all he wanted was stability, peace and harmony and before Lu Yizhou knew it, he had blurted out with a much more determined voice than he’d expected. "I will." He looked straight into the Emperor and Empress’ eyes and stated clearly, "I will definitely marry him."
The next fifteen minutes was spent with the Empress crying his heart out in relief and the Emperor telling him to bring Oliver back as soon as he could. Then the both of them proceeded to plan where they would hold the wedding, who they were going to invite, how their babies’ features would look like and even invented their names in place. Lu Yizhou got through it in daze. His body was there but his soul had flown somewhere else, mainly to Oliver and how he wished he had sent the omega home first before coming back here. Afterall, he was flying and he could cover a long distance in a few short minutes. Stupid, stupid Lu Yizhou. The thought completely slipped from his mind because all he wanted was to have Oliver as close to him as possible.
Minutes passed and he was getting more and more antsy. He had to resist heaving a sigh of relief when the Emperor concluded. "Well, that’s enough for today. Altair, we will discuss it again later on."
Lu Yizhou nodded, his voice laced with barely imperceptible exhaustion. "I will."
"Take care of yourself son. Your rut is approaching soon so let Derek take care of you." The Empress nagged. "Don’t be mean. Remember how you almost bit his hand off because he was trying to deliver food to you? Oh God, please don’t let it happen again."
Lu Yizhou was thankful they didn’t ask about why Oliver didn’t accompany him through his rut. He agreed readily. It was in his plan anyway. He would spend his rut in Derek’s place and let the Beta stock food for him.
The call ended soon after and Lu Yizhou excused himself. His whole body was vibrating with the urge to get to Oliver. He almost used his wings to fly but in the end, resisted the thought because he didn’t want to pull unnecessary attention to him and Oliver anymore. Not when the school yard was still full of people watching the ongoing fight inside the ring. Lu Yizhou marched into the omega’s building in large strides and dialed Oliver’s communicator in between. Alas, he only received the continuous waiting tone. Where was the omega? Why didn’t he accept Lu Yizhou’s call?
An uncomfortable feeling spread inside Lu Yizhou’s chest and he vehemently refused to contribute it to something that had happened to Oliver. Lu Yizhou had just left for less than half an hour. Moreover, what kind of threat could have happened inside the omega’s building?
Rosemane.
