17 EMBRACE

Although it was comfortable to stay in the hall, in order not to be entangled by the possible encounter with somebody, Julien could only quickly leave. He walked through a corridor until he arrived at a flower garden.

The garden was very quiet. There were lights from randomly scattered antique lanterns amongst the grass. This scene brought quite a rather emotional and endearing atmosphere. However, at this moment, Julien wasn't in the mood to enjoy the scenery.

He walked through the winding stone path and arrived at the center of the garden with a small water fountain and a bench he could sit and rest on. Julien felt agitated and was in low spirits. As if there was a piece of boulder pressing down from above. His body started to feel hot again. If there was a mirror in front of him right now, Julien would see his face turning pale.

In the next second, Julien felt that his chest cavity was in a spectacular mess.

Thump, thump, thump—

He felt like he was going to faint: "Don't tell me it is what I think it is."

[System: Host, hold on! You are very unstable and your emotional control and stability is reducing!]

Julien wanted to calm down, but it was already too late. His forehead was seeping with cold sweat and his legs were like cotton wool. He hastily raised his hand to cover his lips, but he couldn't stop the whimper that passed through his fingers.

This movement immediately alerted the man who was walking in the garden.

Lucius heard a sob coming from not far away. He immediately raised his head, frowned and asked: "Who is there?"

As soon as these words were asked, the whimper immediately went silent. As if the person found themselves exposed so immediately muffled their voice.

He accurately found the fountain where Julien was hiding. When he was looking down, he caught a glimpse of a portion of a white t-shirt from the crevice of the stone. It was obvious that a boy was hiding there.

Julien was dizzy and his whole body was hooting in heat. His vision was completely blurry. The footsteps outside stopped in front of him.

Lucius's eyes were calm and still, completely void of any ripples of emotion. His gaze met with Julien's as he got straight to the point: "You are in heat."

Julien stared at him confused and his eyes were kept from recognizing him: "Who are you?"

He mumbled to himself and his voice carried a faint sound of exhaustion: "I want to be alone."

Lucius frowned slightly. He was about to say something when he saw the omega stand up abruptly.

Julien thin lips pursed softly. His eyes were billowing with emotion and he said in a chilly tone: "Whoever you are stay away from me!"

Lucius saw that the youth's face was deathly pale and ghastly. His tone was mixed with a mesmerizing feeling: "Don't be afraid, with me here, you are safe."

Julien nodded his head crazily. He felt that Lucius's voice was very hypnotic, but at the same time he wanted to break free from that.

He rushed out of the gap between them, trying to run back to the hall, but it's a pity that his actions had been already calculated by Lucius. At the moment when he rushed out, the alpha stretched out his hand and stopped him on the way.

Lucius picked the young man up around the waist, his eyes were more aggressive without warm light. The omega's clothes were thin and the material was flimsy. Therefore, Lucius could easily feel the heat of his body through the arm around his waist: "Leaving without saying goodbye, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Julien's whole person was hanging in the air, his eyes full of doubt made it clear that he hadn't understood Lucius's question. He was caught in a daze and could barely hear Lucius's words.

Lucius stretched out a hand to press Julien's back and pulled him into his arms. His kind of erratic voice sounded: "Not talking, eh?"

At once, there was again a dumbfounded look on Julien's face. He didn't know where he was right now and who was speaking to him. He moved his body around and couldn't struggle free.

At this moment, his waist was hugged by the tall man and practically his whole body was drowned into that person's embrace. At such a close distance, the feeling of comfortable coolness overwhelmed Julien. Because he was in a state of burning heat, the other low temperature somehow comforted him.

When Lucius felt soft lips meet his neck his expression in the dark looked a bit strange.

He failed to notice that someone was looking at their direction from the corridor at the other corner of the garden.

Julien licked and rubbed against the side of Lucius's neck like he was a puppy that had yet to grow up gnawing at a bone.

Lucius after being given such an inexperienced kiss, he didn't know why, but his ruthless and dark mood was suppressed. He felt calm despite it all and even wanted to know what the other would do next.

He hadn't thought that he would react to Julien's rubbing movements. He pinched omega's chin and forced him to raise his head. His voice was hoarse but chilly: "You've never done this before?"

Lucius carefully observed the reaction of the young man as he finished asking. Julien didn't give any indication of responding and his eyes revealed a blankness that couldn't be more obvious. Evidently, he wasn't clear about the situation.

Lucius gazed at the youth's appearance, gaze stuck on the youth's pair of rosy lips that were opening and closing, and couldn't help but want to give them a taste.

A voice suddenly came from nearby: "What's going on here?"

Ioan's face was icy cold. He looked at Lucius, who held Julien in embrace, with a dark gaze.
