Chapter 49: Scenting and His Excellency
Arren opened his mouth and spoke, "I see," he grinned further, tone low, and his body shifted a little forward as his eyes sparkled, bewitching the alpha in front of him. "So, Your Majesty, why do you summon this humble subject of yours?" he asked, a naughty tone not escaping his ears. In an instant, Arren changed the subject from Rave. He didn’t have time for that, especially not with his hot alpha in front of him.
The alpha’s amber eyes flickered as he enjoyed the omega’s mischievous antics. Spade then moved his body forward slightly in response to Arren’s game. He clasped his hand in front of him.
"I thought you wouldn’t agree because you didn’t seem to like this place that much," Spade probed, a small grin curling on his lips. As he stared at the omega, his eyes glinted.
Arren’s smile faded, he hadn’t expected Spade to bring this up, and a slight blush painted his cheeks. He didn’t avert his gaze, instead asking, "Did you investigate me?" as he squinted his eyes at the alpha.
Spade’s face fell, and he quickly explained, "I had to investigate because of the situation," his tone a little low and cautious. It was the truth. Spade only noticed when he was looking into Arren’s case and wasn’t looking into him on purpose.
After a few seconds, Arren was still silent, staring absentmindedly at the teacup.
"Are you upset?" Spade asked again, his tone soft as if coaxing Arren. Spade became concerned as Arren continued to look down.
Arren lifted his head and stared at the alpha with a slightly surprised expression as Spade stood up from his seat. The alpha only looked at him, and under Arren’s surprised gaze, Spade closed the gap between them to within a step of Arren. Then take a seat beside him. Their locked gaze did not even pause for a second.
"You..." Arren only said one word, as Spade’s actions surprised him. Even the fact that they were only at arm’s length did not register with him.
The alpha looked at him intently as if reading him. Arren was an open book, and his expression couldn’t conceal it.
"Are you upset that I investigated you?" Spade repeated himself, his eyes fixed, tone soft.
