During the next few days, the group chat remained quite calm. Regarding the inquiry about the next pheromone party, North's message had surprised both Jared and Leo, though for different reasons.

North: "Hey guys, I'm not going to the pheromone party. My parents told me I could have pheromone intoxication since the rut cycle is every 4 months."

Jared: "That's stupid, North! All alphas have been going to those types of parties since they existed. Otherwise, how can you release your pheromones?"

North: "I don't remember everything they said, Jared, but it sounded logical. Hey Leo, you know about everything... what do you think?"

Leo: "I think you should consult with a specialist... BUT WHO DO YOU THINK I AM, IDIOT?"

Jared: "Don't ask him, can't you see he's a virgin? What's he going to tell you?"

Leo: "Look, the thing about those parties is there are artificial pheromones that many alphas react badly to, they end up with intoxications. And besides, I'm not a virgin anymore."

He had finished writing when his phone rang. Leo answered, intrigued. It was Jared.

"You're joking..."

Leo felt confused hearing the blonde's voice.

"Context so I understand," the dark-haired boy responded.

"Did you have sex?"

Leo remembered what he had written.

"Oh that, yes."

Silence on the other side.

"How?"

"Jared, seriously, do I have to give you a sex education class?"

Jared let out a giggle, although he seemed nervous.

"I didn't know you were with someone—you're always studying."

"Well, now you know that besides studying, I also have sex."

"Who is it? Do I know her?"

Leo felt pain in his chest. Of course, he could never imagine Leo having relations with a man.

"No."

"Is it Clara?"

"Go to hell, Jared."

He hung up and turned off his phone.
