"Teru."

He heard his name.

"Teru."

The bathroom light above was too bright. His body was stiff from lying in the same spot on the hard tiles. Teru groaned and sat up, leaning against the wall. One side of his hair was soaking wet from the waterdrops continuously dripping on him when he slept.

"Yeah?" Teru rasped, voice heavy with sleep.

"He's awake, guys," Jacky announced to the others.

Lila scoffed, "Finally. It's been twenty hours."

Teru paused while wiping his eyes. How long?! He stood and walked to the center of the bedroom. The clock signified it was mid-afternoon. Trays of cold food waited for him on the table, which were the meals he had missed at designated feeding times. His stomach rumbled, body demanding energy and nourishment.

Wow, I really was out for almost a full day.

"We were starting to worry about ya. You weren't responding to our calls for hours."

"I've been more tired than usual." Teru went over to the glass door. The four werewolves studied him with more attention than before, especially his face. It made him self-conscious.

They talked to one another as if he wasn't there.

"I can't believe we missed it."

"He has the same hair. Body type is similar, too."

"Personality isn't like Ryoma, though. It reminds me of Haruhito."

That was a name Teru hadn't heard before. "Who?"

"Your father," Tae-soo joined in. "You didn't know?"

"I don't. I found out recently that Mom and Dad are not my biological parents. You knew Ryoma?"

Tae-soo broke eye contact and stared at the empty room next to his own, looking lost in thought of whatever distant memories he was remembering.

Jacky cleared his throat. "Of course, except Zander because he arrived later. We never knew what happened to him or his unborn baby. It's been eighteen years. His escape was the reason outsiders such as guards and servants are not allowed to visit anymore."

"Escape?" His mother escaped? There was a way? "How?"

"I suppose we should start from the beginning, yeah? There's not much we know ourselves. Basically, Ryoma Kurokawa was elite in the omega category. Pureblood to the bone. Their family was known worldwide for producing the best male omegas. The Japanese royal family themselves protected them. You might've heard the story of their emperor giving him to Abaddon as a gift to keep the peace, but that's not the whole truth. Abaddon threatened to start a war with them and overthrow their country if they didn't hand over the Kurokawa's pack leader's successor. Ryoma ended up volunteering to protect his people."

That was interesting. An omega as a leader? "But he wasn't an alpha."

Jacky clicked his tongue. "It didn't matter. It was all about blood and how you carried yourself. Ryoma was a proud omega. He was a kind person to everyone, no matter their gender or status, as long as they respected him, too. Abaddon obviously did not earn his respect, and fought tooth and nail for a long time. Ryoma wouldn't give in despite the constant punishments. It even shocked us with the feral way he'd attempt to assault Abaddon whenever the door opened. We'd all think, Who is going to win today?"

"That bastard asshole said it took three years before Ryoma would wear a white collar willingly," Teru mentioned. The others chuckled at his cursing toward the almighty ruler.
