163 Mine At Last (3)

"Paul, you deserve better... I-I'm not someone—" Maverick said, attempting to explain that he's not someone who the Alpha think he is and that his identity doesn't just stop from him being an Omega pretending to be an Alpha because of the family honor but it was his turn to be stopped by Paul. Maverick looked at his lover who now had a smile on his lips but that smile didn't reach his eyes. As if his eyes had lost its glow and closed off all his emotions.

"It's okay. You don't need to explain anything. I know you already have someone in your heart. I'm just happy I get to stay with you like this," Paul assured, it felt like there was a hand tightly holding on to his heart but he held back the pain and tried his best not to show it to Maverick. In the end, maybe love is just really not meant for him. He was hurting so bad. It felt even more painful than when he was rejected by Fyre back then.

"No! It's not like that, Paul... I-I do like you." Maverick said desperately. If Paul was talking about Tian Zi then he was wrong, he moved on already. Besides, the reason why it felt like he had feelings for Tian Zi was because he was the first man who ever extended his hands to help him without asking for anything and judging him. He believed that he mistakenly thought the gratitude he felt for him and thought it was love. Now he knew that it wasn't. He still felt grateful towards Tian Zi and Fyre. This will never change. But now, he was positive that the feelings he had for Paul were genuine.

"I know. As a friend, right? I'm already used to it... Anyway, I think I've already overstayed my welcome, I need to go before you brothers get angry with me," Paul chuckled this time and finally decided it was time for him to go as he stood up. Now that he had seen that the Omega was fine and unhurt, he was satisfied but right now, he just can't stay long after that evident rejection, or else things would just get awkward between them. Meanwhile, seeing Paul already planning to go, Maverick panicked and didn't know what to do. He wanted him to stay longer but couldn't find the worth to say to make him stay.

"W-wait, please. That's not what I mean... I do like you, Paul, not just as a friend. A-and about Tian Zi, I just called him first because I had someone important to tell him… i-it's not because—" Maverick immediately explained but once again, Paul cut him off.

"Mave, it's okay. You don't have to say anything... Now, be good and rest. And if you're still up for it, I can take you on a date again once you get better," Paul said with a kind smile, making Maverick unable to retaliate. In the end, he watched Paul leave the room leaving his words unsaid. Besides, what would he say? That he was fucking men until just recently? No matter how much he wanted to, didn't want the Alpha to misunderstand him, he also can't tell him the whole truth. His whole truth.

'Maybe this is what's best for us. I'm never going to be good enough for him,' Maverick thought as he didn't realize his tears began to stream down his cheeks. When he finally noticed his sobs, confusion invaded his system as he stubbornly wiped his tears.

"S-Stop~ Stop crying~ It's better to stay like this. If you told him, he's gonna leave you for good... s-so don't cry, you d-did the r-right thing, a-atleast this way you get to be friends with him," Maverick mumbled between his bawls while continuously wiping his stubborn tears. He was hoping that his words would somehow pacify him but he was wrong. If anything, it only made him cry even more.

At the same time, struggling to push the man on top of him, tears began to flow from his eyes down to the sides before he finally managed to kick Lucien off with all his might after biting on his lips. His face was covered in horror as he felt disgusted by the sudden kiss. Fyre quickly covered his lips before glaring at the smiling Alpha.

". . ." Lucien licked his bleeding flesh before he burst into laughter. "This is really fun. Are you doing it on purpose?" He added, still laughing. It is obvious that he was having fun despite Fyre's glares at him. He covered his face trying to suppress his laughter but it was useless as he continued to burst like a lunatic. Watching this, Fyre was both terrified and confused before he took this chance to scoot away only to squeal in surprise when his foot ended up being caught and once again pulled towards his attacker.

"Let go, you son of a bitch! Let go! You're fucking crazy!" Fyre yelled between his stubborn tears, which only made Lucien even more excited. This was what he was looking for. It really excites him when his prey struggles against his hold. It's unexplainable but it just really triggers something inside him. He had been dreaming of this day to happen and now it's really happening. Fyre's terrified voice sounded like music to his ears and he's really enjoying it. He could no longer wait to turn those screams of rejection to screams of pleasure.

"Fuck, you're so adorable," Lucien breathed as his other hand that was not clasping on Fyre travelled towards his bulging crotch. When Fyre saw it, he became even more ghastly. He knew Lucien was crazy but he didn't know he was this crazy. At this moment, only one thing was running in his mind, and that was to find a way to distract the Alpha from doing something horrific to him.

Fyre immediately thought of something that might stop Lucien from proceeding what he wanted to do because he knew for sure, in his situation he simply can't defend himself from the Alpha's strength. Thankfully, he didn't need to think long when an urgent knock reverberated from the door. Fyre immediately looked at the door before he watched Lucien's expression suddenly turn dangerous. There was a brief moment of pause before finally let go of Fyre and got off of the bed.

"Wait a minute, let me just get rid of this bastard. How dare he interrupt us from our lovely time," Lucien chanted, he smiled towards Fyre but unlike his usual seemingly kind smile, this time, his expression somehow looked like he was about to kill someone.

"Fuck you! Don't you ever return here," Fyre yelled but Lucien just chuckled. He liked it even more that Fyre was trying his best to reject him. At first he thought he'd be seeing the Fyre who's innocent and naive but he didn't expect him to change this much. Nevertheless, he still liked the way th Omega's face turned helpless when he found out he could never escape him. Just now when someone knocked at the door, he saw how relieved Fyre was and so he couldn't help but tease him. Make him think that he still has hope when in fact he didn't.

"Ahw, don't be like that. You're only making me eager, it'll be tastier once you turn submissive below me later," Lucien said again, making all the hair on Fyre's body stand in disgust. Subconsciously, he picked one of the throw pillows and tried to hit the Alpha but once again, Lucien just laughed at him before finally heading towards the door and opened it. He briefly talked to the man and immediately his eyebrows turned into a frown.

"So they really want to see what I'm capable of," Lucien whispered to himself as his eyes continued to glare dangerously. He already said he had no interest in becoming the next head but some members who wanted to take the position for themselves and felt threatened because of him wanted to push him down. Although he does not plan to lead the organization, he also will not tolerate it if someone picks a fight with him. He was not a pushover. He's choosing to stay silent only because he hates troublesome things but he will definitely not shy away when confronted. Especially now that he was about to take Fyre to himself. He had waited for so long for this to happen but now he had to deal with such bullshit! Who wouldn't go mad? Fyre is his at long last! But right now he's like a dog who's been told to wait when his food is in front of him.

"We had no choice, Boss. He invited himself in so Apollo's stopping him from causing a scene right now," the underling said. Even though Lucien wasn't the boss, he had his own number of underlings that called him boss.

"Fine. I'll go and see what I can do," Lucien sighed to which Fyre heard, making him feel even more relieved that the Alpha was living. He thought he'd have more time to think of a way to escape even though he knew pretty well that it'll be difficult. He was still thinking of ways to get out of the room at least when Lucien turned to him with his usual smile. The dangerous glare he had earlier disappeared and now he looked like someone who wouldn't dare kill a single fly. It really creeped him out because it was too easy for the Alpha to change his expression like snapping a finger.

'This fucker is really a crazy psychopath,' Fyre thought and glared at the Alpha as he wiped his tears. Just now he thought he was a goner, thankfully something came up.

"I'll just take care of something, Fyre. Wait for me a bit, okay? What do you want to eat while you wait? Though it won't be too long… Still, you haven't eaten anything yet since you got here," Lucien asked as he took his shirt and wore it. Fyre raised his brows in annoyance because Lucien made it sound like he was eager to stay with him when in fact he was relieved that he was going to leave. Nevertheless, he didn't retaliate as he chewed on his lips.

"Hmm, what is it?" Lucien probed, seeing that Fyre seemed like he wanted to say something.

"Anything… Just anything to fill my stomach…" Fyre gritted. Truthfully, he wasn't going to eat it. He just needed someone to open the door for him so he could escape. He hated that he needed to ask Lucien for food but he had not thought of anything else to escape. He thought that if someone else was to bring food in the room, he'd have a chance to outsmart them and he could escape the room. He had memorized the pathway where they walked earlier before he was locked in the room so it'll be easy to escape once he gets out of the room as long as he's careful not to be seen.

"Okay. Good thing you're finally getting comfortable. I thought you'd never ask. I'd hate it if you faint later just because you're hungry," Lucien said with a chuckle making Fyre glare at him even more. But again, he didn't retaliate and just remained silent, otherwise the Alpha's mind would change and he'd lose his only chance.

"Ack!" Fyre squealed in surprise as Lucien got near him and grabbed his arm tightly. He gritted his teeth and glared at the Alpha but he didn't expect that Lucien would suddenly lean down on him and bite on his neck making him groan in pain before he pushed Lucien who was very satisfied with what he just did.

"I'll go ahead and ask someone to send you food then. Be good and wait for me, okay?" Lucien whispered, with a smirk.

"Fuck you!" Fyre cursed, covering the bitten area. He can't believe he was just bitten. It wasn't even a simple bite. He bit him as if he was going to rip off his skin from him. Thankfully, it wasn't bleeding but for sure it was going to bruise really badly.

"Hmmm, just be patient, Baby. I'll do exactly that later to you," Lucien said, licking his lips that made Fyre shivered again. 'This man is really sick!' Fyre thought again. He can't believe he just heard that.

"What the matter with you! Just go away!" Fyre yelled in frustration. Fortunately, Lucien no longer teased him and decided to finally go.
