Enigma of Darkness ✨

A memorable heat

Lucian hears someone cough on the other side of the line. He frowns. Mr. Han clears his throat, whispering to someone present with him, and then enquires Lucian.

"Young master, what are you trying to imply?"

"Oh, it is so simple...I didn't expect him to be this cute." Lucian smiles, thinking of Araki.

There was another round of silence on the other side. Lucian checks the mobile, thinking something is wrong with it.

"Boss...Mr. Yu...young master, what were you expecting?" Mr. Han was not able to form words and make sense of things. He was rendered speechless by this young man.

There was a pause, and then Mr. Han quickly corrected himself before Lucian could answer. "I don't want to know the answer to it."

He was frightened by the answer he could get. He inhales and exhales, letting the oxygen reach his brain as he feels like his brain has suddenly stopped functioning.

"You can talk to the doctor. He will explain you in detail."

Mr. Han saves himself and hands the phone to the doctor. There was whispering heard by Lucian on the line as if two people bickering with each other.

He patiently waits. Araki's doctor, who was present with Mr. Han all this while, glares at the assistant and greets Lucian, taking the phone.

"Is Mr. Yu being very acquiescent?"

Lucian nods, then quickly answers. "He is acting very dubious, taking care of me, controlling his emotions...he even smiles...he is cute though."

The doctor ignores the last part and hums. "It is normal for him to do so, you may have guessed. He is afraid of losing you or scaring you. He is true blood and cares for you, but aggression and lust are part of heat. He may not show it, but he is feeling inside. You don't need to worry, Mr. Yu is a highly trained and mannered man. He will not let you have any harm."

"Just release your calming pheromones if you see him losing to the desires." Lucian nods.

"So it will happen?"

The doctor disconnects the phone, not bothering to answer Lucian's question.

Lucian looks at the phone. "So rude...can't he answer a simple question. Truly an employee of Araki."

He senses Araki returning and quickly opens the drawer to hide the phone. Lucian finds a recorder inside. He takes it out happily and waves it at Araki when the true blood enters the room with a tray full of snacks.

"Look what I found," Lucian says happily.

Araki nods and places the tray. He sits next to Lucian, pulling the tray towards him, and watches as Lucian checks the recorder. He picks a sweet snack and moves the chopstick towards Lucian.

Lucian eats the food without bothering to check or look at it, fully focused on the recorder. Araki hand pauses seeing this, he, without a word, picks another item and moves it towards Lucian's mouth. Lucian eats it as well.

Araki's eyes tremble in joy. He finds his mate more and more adorable with time. He quickly checks the tray and chooses another item, then another, feeding it all one by one to Lucian.

The alpha gulps down one bite, and another comes on his way. He was too distracted to notice it at first, immersed in testing the recorder.

Then, as this goes on and he feels full, he realizes something is weird. Lucian puts down the recorder and meets the curious and anticipating gaze of the true-blood alpha.
