Chapter 5

After we successfully entered the same university, we started living together. I told my parents that I was sharing a room with someone. When my mother found out that it was Yukiya, she laughed and said, “You guys are still the same.”

We divided the housework, but sometimes we’d forget to take out the trash, overslept, fight, etc., and yet, we’d made up at the end. I thought that this life would go on forever.

“It’s about time for ‘that’, right? Don’t forget to take your medicine with you.”

Was what my mother said over the phone. The first estrus, also known as “first menstruation,” was not as intense as a normal estrus . It’s said that you’d feel lethargic, similar to fever, for a few days. However, just like a normal estrus, pheromones were still released, so as the consequence, inhibitors were necessary. This was the body’s way of confirming that it had fully matured and was ready for estrus.

On my way to the university, I suddenly hear the sound of rushing footsteps coming towards me from behind, and I sigh.

Without looking back, I ducked down and heard the sound of a fist slicing the air above me.

“ You b*stard , don’t you fucking dare dodge!”

“Why shouldn’t I dodge?”

I look over my shoulder in dismay. He’s about my height, with a rough expression on his attractive face that says a lot about his character. The man’s name was Hayashi Kunihisa, and he’s one of the Alphas who have their eyes on Yukiya.

Even after entering university, as expected, there were many people who were chasing after him. Especially the betas and alphas. Naturally, I’ve been keeping them in check and protecting Yukiya in the same way I did in our high school days. Most of them gave up after this, but of course, there were some who didn’t.

“If I beat you, Yukiya will be mine.”

I’m annoyed by the fact that every time I see him, he’d try to challenge me to a fight, and say some meaningless things. I know I don’t have to do it every time, but I can’t afford to back down when I’m asked to hand over Yukiya. In short, it’s a matter of pride.

We usually fought in the back of the school building of the university, where there were few people. Naturally, it’s a straightforward fisticuffs fight. Neither this guy nor I like to play games of wits.

Leaving our luggage at a distance, Kunihisa and I face each other . Right when I had enough of this and prepared my fist to completely KO him, I smelled a faint sweet fragrance. I was distracted by the fragrance. At that moment, accompanied by a sensation that makes the blood in my body boil, I collapsed on the spot. My body was tingling with goosebumps and shivers. The scent thickened. I looked up to see where it came from and saw Kunihisa who was looking down at me with visible confusion.

That’s when I finally remembered that the man in front of me was an Alpha.

“Hey, what’s up with you all of a sudden?”

“Don’t come here, the pills in my bag…”

Kunihisa came to his senses at the sound of my voice and rushed to my bag to look through it. After a while, Kunihisa returned with the medicine in his hand, which I immediately took and chewed. I felt lightheaded. I’ve never heard of the first estrus being this intense. I thought it’d felt like a slight fever at most.

“It smells so goddamn amazing.”

I felt a chill run down my spine at the heavily intoxicated gaze. I unconsciously covered my nape with my hand and distanced myself from Kunihisa. The medicine should kick in, in a bit. The pheromones should start to subside as well. With a series of shallow breaths, I managed to get up and head towards the crowded area.

“Shuhei!”

I was relieved to hear his voice. Yukiya’s arms swung frantically in an attempt to catch my body, which was larger than his, but he couldn’t support my weight, and we both fell to the ground.

I didn’t want Yukiya to see me in such an unattractive state. But still, I was relieved to see Yukiya’s figure. And then, I lost my consciousness.
