It had been two months after mom left me. During those times, I tried my best to keep healthy. However, the next month after I lost mom, I also lost my baby.

I’m a trash, aren’t I? I can’t even protect my own baby. I lost both my hopes.

Ever since then, Haruto visited me oftentimes, to made sure that I ate properly. He also helped me with the house and always calmed me about the baby.

So, was that means he’s truly mine now?

I hoped so.

However, a traitor would forever be a traitor. No matter how kind they are towards you, it doesn’t mean they don’t betray you.

“Could you please be patient for a little more? He just got miscarriage and his mom just died two months ago! I should at least be by his side for the times being. Wait a little, until he seems to get better. Even the doctor said that his body’s so weak right now because of the stress. I can’t just leave him alone.”

Oh, so that was why he acted that kind so suddenly. Heard it with my own ears made me relieved.

“Tch. Just be quick!”

“Yes, yes. I love you.”

That cute voice must be his new boyfriend. So he had another different Omega again? Just how many was it already?

“Haruto … you should at least be loyal to my replacement. How could you still have an affair when you already cheated on me? Poor them. They must have no clue, thinking they were the only one.”

His shock face when he heard my voice is still remained in my head. How he panicked that his whole face wet by the sweat. How he couldn’t say anything to explain. Not that I wanted to hear his explain, though.

“Also, you said you love him. Is that true?”

“No! I … I only love—”

“It wasn’t true, either? You really are a scumbag, you know? I hope at least your love’s pure for them. Even though it’s not pure towards me, at least … just for one of them … it should be pure ….”

“Riku!”

I can remember vividly how bad my stomach hurts that time. Blood started to color the floor from my butt. My whole body hurts, but I didn’t have energy left to cry.

When I thought I was about to die, I tried my best to open my mouth with the rest of my consciousness.

“I was wrong … I thought giving you the last chance would be a good choice … but, no ….”

“No! S-Sorry ....”

“So you aren’t gonna deny it, huh? Well, I don’t need your apology. I just hope you could truly love one of them.”

Why did you make that kind of face? Why did you cry? Why were your hands trembling so much while held my body? That wasn’t the first time you held me, right? Was it because of the blood? It scared you? But why?

I couldn’t ask him those questions. My consciousness was about to lose. Whether I’m going to die or not, at least I should say this one thing.

“I don’t have any regrets. I don’t regret accepted you as my lover, nor do I regret for loving you. It’s just … if I can, I wanna know the reason why did you choose to betray me. Am I not enough? If it is, I’m sorry that I can’t be what you want.”

He shook his head fast. “No! It’s not your fault, it’s me! It’s me who’s greedy, I’m so sorry! But please—”

“That’s late, Haruto. You already failed your last chance. Let’s end it here without hatred, okay? If I’m still alive after this, let’s be good friends … just like how it used to be years ago.”

It’s true that I’ll hate him for the rest of my life, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t be friends, right?

Haruto didn’t say a single word. He cried, hugged me tight with his tremble hands.

Meanwhile, my body got numb. It didn’t feel hurt anymore, and I thought my butt was stopped bleeding too.

 

For the seconds before I closed my eyes, I heard he whispered with a really low voice, straight to my ear.

“I’m sorry ….”

He kissed my forehead.

I cried, but I smiled. He really was late, wasn’t he?

“We’ve been together for four years, but I’d thank you for the first three years. That three years when you loved me the most. That only three years of your pure love, I really appreciate it. Thank you, Haruto.”

“Well, that was how it goes. I already said my goodbye, but turned out it’s only me who think it that way.” I giggled.

Iori didn’t stop my story at all. He sat in front of me quietly while holding my hands tight. He looks so angry right now, even though he’s trying to suppress it. Well, it’s still an improvement that his eyes doesn’t turn into golden.

I pulled my hands, then slapped it together on his cheeks. “Why’re you angry? It’s me who experienced it, and you don’t even know me that much.”

He seems to back to his senses. “Yes, but ….”

He’s cute, I want to tease him even more now.

“But?”

“Well … I think it’s natural. Since I am a new Alpha, I have these kinda feelings because I’m trying to adapt to it, so ….”

I laughed hard enough to hurt my wounds. Hearing his awkward answer makes me sure that he’s indeed a good person.

But still, it doesn’t mean I believe in him fully.

“So, the point is, he’s still dangerous, right? He obsessed over you, it’s not love anymore.”

I nodded. “You’re right.”

“Then, let me take a revenge on him.”

“Eh?”

Revenge? Why would this stranger do that much to him? They aren’t even know each other! More importantly, what kind of revenge does he think?!

“Hold on, what do you mean by revenge?”

Iori smirked. “Nah, it’s not that kinda revenge like your thoughts. You don’t need to worry, Onii-chan.”

Wha—?

“We only one year apart, you moron!”

I punched his thigh, but he laughs. He can be so annoying sometimes.

There’s no way this cute little guy in front of me is older than me, but after he showed me his ID yesterday, I can’t deny it anymore.

Is that why Alphas are crazy over Omegas? Especially when they’re this cute.

For now, let’s forget it. I’ve been thinking about how to take a revenge on that bastard. Surely, Riku won’t let me kill him.

“Why, though? I’m sorry, but we just met for three days at least, and I don’t want you to be in trouble because of my personal business. Especially when you aren’t even understand about this world that much.”

The reason, huh? I don’t know it either.

“It may sound classic, but you really are kind to me, Riku. Not to mention that you’re my first friend here.  If there’s a thing I can do to help you, I’d gladly do it. We’re friends, right?”

His face became red, then he smiled. “Thank you.”

After this stubborn guy said that he was going to go to work, we were debating—again. Good thing this time he surrendered easily because I promised him that I’ll tell him about how was the payment with Yato this morning. Of course, I’m not going to tell him the truth, but at least I’ll tell him that we weren’t doing that.

“He’s fast asleep, huh? Well, I should go back to my room and sleep, too. Today is really exhausting.”

In my room, I get the suppressants out of my bag and put it inside the drawer.

“Better go to sleep right now, so I can cook him a dinner.”

“Master! Master!”

I’m yawning. What is it this time?

“Ugh, Shiro, I’m so tired right now, can you—”

“Your brother and Ryuuga … they got into an accident.”

“What?” My eyes burst open. The feelings of sleepy and tiredness suddenly disappeared. “How are they now?! They’re okay, right? Nothing bad happened, right?”

Shiro couldn’t see me in the eye, and it’s not usual.

“Don’t tell me—”

“They died, Master. Together.”

Together?

I know that my brother has always wanted to be together with Ryuuga, but not in this kind of together! How could this be?!

“I’m sorry, Master. I know you have much in your mind, but I can’t tell you the detail. I’m only telling you this because God asked me to. About their afterlife … you’ll know it one day, Master.”
