Chapter 21 - The Blooming of Tomorrow

Rius's PoV

I couldn't forget what happened last night like it was a fever dream and the way your hand would caress this hair of mine made me blush. In that way I felt a rush in me yet I feel your gentle touch that were summer of the year somehow I felt a little greedy for your touch. I saw the scenery of the lush green forests, the meadow's that conquer the mountains up in the hills, the flowers that grew like a budding season in the spring reaching out to the bright sun.

"Rius?" He asked in a soft tone.

I turned my head to his direction on the driver's seat while I was in the passengers seat next to him, he had this expression of a gentleman, an elegant and majestic appearance. He was the quintessence of being perfect in the world.

"Yes?"

"Is there something bothering you?"

I shook my head to his question.

"Did you like the kisses and hugs that I gave you?"

I widened my eyes my body was filled by apricity thinking the past of his touch,his gentle gaze, his gentle pheromones caressing and enveloping that were the euphoria of my own felicity. His groans and breath that were mellifluous in every way, a scintilla of love that were creating the beginning of this relationship that made my face flush from my own reverie.

"Yes I do"

My gaze turned to him, his eyes were focused on the road driving but a hint of blush was found across his cheek that it seemed like a tinted kiss of cherries.

Of course I'm not innocent if he thought that I was one and if I were to taste the might of his sword I might as well go send myself to hong kong won't i?

"Then I'm glad"

"I'm not innocent" I blurted out in an abrupt way that it made his eyes widened.

"Why should I care if you're innocent or not? Is that a flaw? Is that something that should be shameful?"

Surprised by his consecutive of questions I couldn't process it all quickly it was as if he accepts me fully.

"Is it okay to act innocent even though I'm not?"

"Your queries are pointless when my heart destroys it all, I didn't come to you just so I could get a taste of your body Rius, I came to you because i like you if that's not love then what is it?"

No hesitation of his voice, no flaw of sentences that came out of those lips as his answer were doughty and euphonious. Maybe this time I can find the comfort that his touch will bring to my life that it compels me to be with him in this life maybe even a lifetime but I couldn't find the right answer yet until I'm certain. He is a special kind of alpha I'm sure and I'm a special of omega still it doesn't also mean that we should act on love without love with just our bodies banging with each other.

"I suppose so"

It began to be quiet and the car stopped then he approached being closer to me. Whatever he was attempting made my eyes close and became nervous. I heard a sigh then he sat back to his seat.

"Maybe I was impulsive in the matter, I didn't mean to be rash or act in way of abruptness I don't want my actions to seen as vacuous it's just I accept you for who you are and what you are remember that I choose you in this life whether I am a prince or not, you the are one even if the pheromones in my body says no my heart would still quench from hunger for you is that enough of an answer?"

These actions were the result of our pheromones smashing on each other yet I didn't thought of it deeply was I wrong? Was I not taken by his hands that suddenly came to my life and I accepted it on a whim? A whim? No it wasn't a whim at all didn't I embraced these feelings in the beginning?? Was I not curious and was wondering for him? My cheeks were tinted in peaches as I nodded.

"Maybe I am conflicted but even so can I...stand with you along the way?"

"I don't have a problem with that I'd be even thanking the gods if that were to be a lifetime"

The car's engine started again as he drives the car on the way to our school. He dropped me off on the gates and I turned around.

"A-Alistair?"

"Yes?"

"Can we get to more in...an emotional kind of level and not just physical?"

"Are you serious? Because I am"He said in a serious.

"Yes" a smirked appears on his face.

"Damn you really do get me excited wait up I'll give you something"

He got back to his car getting something and he uttered.

"There" he comes close to me after finding an object that he wants and says as he comes to me"Your wrist please"

"Ah here"

There was a bracelet of something that was unexplainable it looked like a bracelet but it did hold a secret somehow. The bracelet wrapped around my wrist adjusting itself in a modern mechanical way and it turned into a dazzling aquamarine bracelet that seems to luster from the sun's light.

"Isn't this valuable?"

"I don't care I made it for you and you'll need it for future purposes"

"Uhm"

"Yeah? Say it?"

I approached him closer and tip toes my feet kissing the cheek of his, I was feeling embarrassed but some self encouragement dwell inside me that it made me kiss his cheek.

"Thank you"

His eyes widened with brows from the surprise, a surprise that was abrupt like almost every surprise in the world making his cheek be tinted in a light pinkish rose.

"I should get going"

The car drove away in a fast speed and that left me a smile on my face but as soon as I entered the gates I was blocked by a person. His hair was blonde that seemed to bare the colour of the sun, like a tranquil forests surrounded by the gentle wind was the reflection of his eyes, it was Vinanciel. I carefully scanned his face that it seems his brows are frowning.

"Who are you? Why are you hanging out with the prince? Only my friend Rius should be hanging out with the prince, so who are you? A new transferee?"

Why was he confused? Had he forgotten his friend?

"I'm Rius though?"

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

Eyes widened and mouth splitting apart then he stopped making the expression of being taking aback from his face from being stunned to a confused Vinanciel.

"Rius?!is that really you?!but how?!"

"Well-"

"Look at your hair! Mine is blonde but yours is golden blonde! Even your black eyes turned into an aquamarine colour!if that's you what's up with the new get up?!"

Sigh "Let me explain first"

There was a dwelling warmth around his hands that seems to collide with mine as we ran together into the halls. I was abide by the shackles of the loneliness but it seems that I found my purpose of being his friend then we entered the classroom with eyes fixated to me, gossips spring like wild fire in the room.

"Wow! I'm in awe he's so pretty!"

"Doesn't that seat belongs to Rius?the one who stood up for us in the first day of the school?"

They were amazed by the sight that was in front of them of course I'm at the middle row the very middle of the seats then there's Vinanciel seated next to me.

"So tell me did you go to a salon?which one? Recommend me will you?"

"I didn't it's just... maybe after heat"

He was flabbergasted and my finger twirls my hair as he was loading just beside my seat it's actually a miracle we're seated together or maybe not.

"W-what do you mean by heat!" He whispers and paused side eyeing the sides "Doesn't that involve an alpha into the mix?"

'After battling while you rest, you get a heat after one night?' he thought.

He glared at me. Maybe it was meant to happen even my mind seems to work in a contradictory to the sands of time that seems to move in the hourglass without fail. His touch were the touch were the touch of incandescent trickle of his heart, his redolent pheromones that was seemingly trapping me in the zones of lust that makes one's mentally go insane like a drop of drug that makes you saunter the heavens. He was making the pace for us fast, albeit rather opposite for my side being the one in the processing the emotions yet I want him in my arms but as I said I am a contradictory for Alistair.

"Yes how about you?"

He pondered for a moment "I don't think that I have someone in mind to to say about such emotions called love to roam in the air rather...there was no one in sight"

"Vinanciel?"

"Yes?"

Maybe I should focus more at my life because there is no point in life if I focus in the backstage aren't I the main character of my own life?

"Let's be friends together forever"

He seems reluctant yet a sparkle of stars were drawn in his eyes.

"Friends together forever Rius"

We made a pinky promise and we both broadly smile and I hoped that this may be one of the vibrant memories that will shine in my life, a moment that would be locked in the deepest thoughts in my mind.

At that time the bell rang starting the morning classes.

"It seems that we have a new topic at hand"

The attention of the students were drawn towards the teacher of course it may be the reason for yesterday's sleep and paralysis phenomena however there was no evidence for any suspects to be blamed from the large scale activity.

"It is from yesterday's event, the occurrence of an unknown entity may be the suspect whether it was an Anticleseus or a human being"

One student raised his hand at the back.

"Yes? You may have a say"

"Miss Malldarias if that were true for the human part won't be anyone in the world would be a suspect that can use a god art?"

From the word god art my mind started to became a haze making it queasy, a queer feeling rose inside my heart that it thumped for a moment.

"I have no say for it nor I can deny your observations it may be true unless it has been investigated thoroughly, the prince of the high realm seems to be busy around the world since the rise of Anticleseus has been active lately so we'll change the topic to be specific it's not a topic but training for your own safety of course this is just a self-defence for any outcome or result that may happen to your lives that will affect everything like the butterfly effect"

"Then what shall we have for today Miss Malldarias"

"It's time to lecture about Arts"

"Arts?"

"What is that?"

"Wow! Aren't those what the special forces use for the Anticleseus?"

The class rose with their thoughts through their mouths as Miss Malldarias clapped making everyone silent.

"We will practice the use of magic"

My eyes widened from her sudden declaration of using magic and then a question came into my mind have I used magic before? Have i used arts? What are arts basically? Then from my mind like a blurry scene came to me, a rush of memory for a mere second showing a dark veiled woman with their arms cupping my face. What was that?

"Now let us go outside this will be an everyday training for the upcoming events and I apologize that this may endanger yourselves but it is crucial for you all omegas here in this classroom to be educated with the essence of magic into your subconscious, now then let us go and train your bodies to be skilled at using magic shall we?"

"Yes ma'am!"

She walked out of the classroom as everyone were booming with joy, their footsteps could be heard as they walk out of the classroom.

"Wow! Rius don't you think it's amazing? Magic?"

Perhaps it was my imagination and I smiled broadly at Vinanciel then I looked at my hands being lost in my thoughts, what is the feeling of using magic?
