Flashback On.

A tall man with red and white hair sat on a park bench with a gloomy face. As usual, he found it difficult to sleep and was always restless.

The anxiety was unfounded. It just appeared out of nowhere and caused the insomnia that Shouki had been feeling until now.

By the way, Shouki hadn't slept well for twenty years.

No need to be surprised, even though twenty years is not a short time, but for a werewolf it doesn't need to be exaggerated. Twenty years was only a few percent compared to the time in life Shouki had lived so far. So not sleeping that long will only make him feel uncomfortable and tormented, but not dead.

Well, that's not comfortable.

On the contrary, Shouki had been looking everywhere for something that could relieve the anxiety he was feeling. But during that time he also failed to get it. This made Shouki even more frustrated.

Even if he could close, it could only make him half asleep. He really couldn't feel a good sleep. Even though sleep wasn't a necessity for a creature like Shouki, but he didn't feel at ease when he didn't sleep. Just like humans who do not seek entertainment for years, in just one day if humans do not seek entertainment then he will feel quite depressed. Likewise with Shouki, as a werewolf he may not sleep for a hundred years. But he will be depressed and feel tired.

Shouki was silent, observing the garden and the people around him. Shouki could sense anyone who was a werewolf. Of course there were no vampires there because the weather was scorching hot.

Sniff sniff

Shouki sniffed a scent that was enough to intrigue him. Like a human who smells the soothing aromatherapy. Shouki looked to his left and right, but he couldn't find the figure. Until he turned around and looked back. And a few meters away was Katsuki sitting opposite Eijiro.

Shouki's attention immediately fell on Katsuki at that time. He kept watching Katsuki without Katsuki noticing. Shouki does have the ability to hide the aura of his existence. It fits well with Shouki's personality who is quiet and doesn't really like to mingle with many people. Although he had a little trouble with his thin aura of existence when he was in an important meeting with fellow business leaders.

"Smells great," Shouki muttered. "Ah, it must be so soothing to sleep on his lap."

No, Shouki didn't think about anything dirty or related to sex. He just thought that sleeping next to Katsuki was a good way to get him to sleep well.

Shouki then continued to follow Katsuki wherever Katsuki went. But he didn't have the courage like now to ambush Katsuki.

No, he's not a coward. However, at that time he thought that Katsuki was Eijiro's mate.

Until one day when Shouki heard about the fight between Katsuki and Eijiro. Shouki heard that Katsuki was still not Eijiro's mate at that time.

"Enough, Eijiro!!! You always dodge! You're such a coward! You make others look guilty, without giving a definite reason as to what the mistake was! I'm tired, Eijiro, it's been years since you disappeared and I'm really happy that I could see you again. But you actually hurt me when we met again."

Shouki was eavesdropping, at that time he was outside the hotel room that Katsuki and Eijiro occupied.

"We never knew each other, Lemon. Stop bragging. Are you so short on money? that you're willing to lie in the name of the past."

"Why don't you just do it now?!! I'd die when I heard the truth from you, rather than live in curiosity for the rest of my life."

Shouki could hear all of their conversations. Until he also became a witness where Eijiro also hurt Katsuki by strangling Katsuki until Katsuki suffocated.

Luckily, Eijiro had stopped what he was doing before Shouki stepped in and beat Eijiro. Shouki really regretted Eijiro's actions. Even though if you look around, Katsuki is also a victim. Losing a loved one and having no place to take shelter and pour out all the sadness.

Eijiro should have seen it from that point of view, Shouki thought.

After Eijiro left Katsuki alone, Shouki wanted to go straight into the room but he repeatedly refused to do so. He didn't know what reason to enter. If he came in and said he heard everything and wanted to comfort Katsuki, he would definitely be labeled as a disgusting stalker by Katsuki.

Until in the end, Shouki entered in a ridiculous way by pretending to be drunk. He even purposely went downstairs and bought alcohol. No wonder his body smelled of alcohol at that time, apparently the smell of alcohol was just to trick Katsuki.

Katsuki's gentle touch on Shouki's chest Shouki still remembers until now. When Katsuki's slender fingers stroked Shouki's chest, Katsuki's voice praising Shouki's body, Shouki still remembered everything. Shouki's body immediately reacted when he remembered it all. After that, there was not only a feeling of comfort and curiosity that Shouki felt when observing Katsuki, but also a feeling of belonging.

Flashback Off.

"No! You... arghh! You're crazy! You suddenly appeared in my life and you just want to make me your mate?! You have to think about my feelings too, I don't like you!"

A very clear refusal, but it's not Shouki if you don't care.

"It's okay, everything starts with the words not yet and no. Later in the end the words no and not will turn into yes and already," Shouki replied.

Shouki seems smart enough to use words that have a romantic meaning, although the use of the words is quite simple but gives an impression that makes the heart touch.

Unfortunately, Katsuki was too in love with Eijiro.

"Get away from me! I'm sick!" Katsuki snapped.

When Katsuki was pushing Shouki's body, Shouki immediately squeezed Katsuki's hand tightly. This time Shouki had to be a little more strict because he had been too patient in treating Katsuki.

But Shouki didn't intend to hurt the man in the slightest.

"I give you three months. Within three months, if I can make you fall in love with me then you must be my mate. However, if within three months you still don't like me then I will stay away from you. How? do you agree? if you don't want to agree, I will think of another way to make you answer my invitation to be a mate," Shouki said.
