Chapter 111
After calming down somewhat, the two sat side by side on the sofa.
Ashley wrapped an arm around Koi’s waist, pulling him close, and continuously fiddled with Koi’s hand, which rested loosely on his own thigh.
Koi, completely leaning into Ashley, merely stared down at Ashley’s hand.
Neither of them opened their mouths. This silence was the first of its kind. How could being with Ashley feel this anxious and restless? Trying not to let his own tension be noticed, Koi wracked his brain desperately. Finally, he found a neutral topic and opened his mouth.
“...What happened at school? You missed too many classes.”
Last semester, Ashley attended barely a third of his classes. Did the principal know what was going on?
Though he broke the silence, Koi felt disappointed. He gloomily lowered his head, but Ashley kissed the top of it and replied,
“They tend to be lenient for the first year or two after an Alpha or Omega manifests. Pheromones can be pretty unstable.”
“Oh....”
Only then did Koi understand. So, was Ashley unable to return because of pheromone issues?
“Was it really tough?”
Ashley did not answer the careful question. Instead, he ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) gently grasped Koi's hand tighter. Feeling the seriousness of the atmosphere, Koi fell silent again. After a while, Ashley loosened his grip and sighed deeply.
