Chapter 132 - 3.72 The Baby Moves
"Oh my God!" Oliver hastily retracted his hands, his flushed cheeks drained of colors. "I—I’m so—"
Lu Yizhou pressed his finger on the omega’s lips. "No sorrys between us."
Oliver’s heart was still galloping with panic. Ever since the bombing incident, they hadn’t really talked about the Alpha’s broken horn. His fractured wings were another matter altogether because apparently his healing ability was exceptional enough to repair the broken tissues within a week, returning them to their former majestic and luscious feathers. But his horns... Oliver hadn’t got much knowledge about antelope, but he at least knew that unlike deers, antelopes didn’t need to shed their horns during winter. It meant that the damage on the Alpha’s horn was... permanent. The thought always made Oliver’s heart seize painfully because he kept on being reminded that Lu Yizhou’s otherwise perfect appearance turned out like this because of him.
The Alpha surprised him by suddenly grabbing his hand to put it back on his horns. "Oliver, you can touch."
"But—"
"It’s not your fault." Lu Yizhou’s lips tugged into the barest of smiles but on him, it was like a full beam. Oliver wanted to cry seeing that precious and rare smile. "I would break my horns thousand times over if I can shield you from harm." And Oliver would have burst out into tears right at that second — seriously, what kind of luck had he gathered in his past life to get this kind of sweet Alpha?! — if not for Lu Yizhou’s next sentence. "Anyway, it’s heavy and often makes my neck sore. Should I just cut them off?"
Oliver gaped. He sought Lu Yizhou’s eyes for the slightest hint of joke yet found none. Lu Yizhou never joked. Oh God, he was really serious about this...
Other beastmen had to pray every single day so that their children would be born with prominent beast signs but his Alpha on the other hand...wanted to get rid of it?! It was such an unprecedented idea that Oliver couldn’t help but break out into a fit of laughter. "A—Altair...! You’re going to kill me! How can you be so adorable?!"
The Alpha’s brows knitted ever so slightly. Oliver could read between those lines. Which aspect in him could be considered adorable? It was the most bizarre and uncanny word to be used on him.
But it was exactly that aspect of him that made him the most adorable! That frown, that deadpan face and dubious look! Oliver squealed inwardly and gathered the Alpha’s face between his palms to plant a smacking kiss on his lips. "You’re the cutest Alpha in the world! My Alpha!"
Lu Yizhou showed a helpless expression.
