Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Hold On Tight

Both Zenith and Kylian jolted hard from the sudden call behind them, but before Kylian could turn around, Zenith’s protective instincts as the Alpha took over him as he hurriedly guarded Kylian behind him as a shield, before approaching the figure who stood at a few steps apart them.

It was a young handsome unknown man, most probably in his late 20s, dressed in a black suit, a white shirt inside, and a black necktie. That guy retained a mysterious look on his round face, but Zenith snarled at him using his domineering tone, before letting him speak, "Goodness, how could you suddenly pop out behind us like a freakin’ ghost? Who are you? Did you follow us here?"

"No, Master. I was waiting for your arrival here all this time. I was...sent by Mr. Clark."

It seemed Zenith’s grunt had made him a bit nervous as the guy fretfully answered, trying to avert his gaze down from him. Even though he was older than both Zenith and Kylian, among the three, Zenith was the tallest one with a great muscular physique which was enough to warn any guy never to mess with him.

Besides, his pheromones were always strongly emitted, but before leaving the hospital, Dr. Albert had injected Kylian with a new pheromone inhibitor drug so that his sweet scent wouldn’t be discovered by anyone in the Academy, at least for a week before the drug wears off.

Zenith coldly scanned that guy from head to toe, realizing he was one of Mr. Clark’s trusted boys whom he had asked to lend him before. That guy seemed like a beta, but after his initial observation was done, Zenith asked him, "What’s your name?"

"B-Barnes, Master."

"Are you a beta?"

"Yes, I am."

"Excuse me, but why are you suddenly interviewing this guy in the middle of the road?" Unable to suppress his curiosity in the awkward situation that rose between Zenith and Barnes, Kylian intervened as he came forward and stood next to Zenith while urging him, "Also, can’t you see your tone is scaring him?"

Possessiveness and Protectiveness were the two basic and most important traits an Alpha was born within this world. But whenever any matter concerned Kylian, Zenith strangely struggled to keep two of those overwhelming emotions in check.

Right now watching Kylian speak up for that boy, a quick vexation ran down his veins when he scowled at Barnes, "Did Mr. Clark give you any special instruction before sending you off here?"

"H-He had told me to obey your every command, Master. And, to take as many boys as I can if any task is difficult to achieve." Barnes felt a bit relieved when Kylian spoke in his favor, but watching Zenith’s face contort with vexation, his voice sounded more nervous than before.

"Good. I am including one more command, and you must engrave it in your mind." Zenith deepened his voice to make it sound more serious while narrowing his orbs at him.

"You see this boy here, except my direct commands, you must stay away from him. Don’t even try to look at him. He has a weird habit of being extra polite and gentle towards strangers the first time of meet them, but no matter how he treats you, don’t you dare to fall for him. Otherwise, I will kill you."

"H-Hey!? What the fuck you’re saying, idiot!" But flustered by his sudden unexpected command, Kylian smacked Zenith on his back shoulder with his fist, while trying to put a straight face to hide his shyness, "Don’t assume everyone is a pervert like you!

"People can be nice to each other without having other intentions, and that’s completely normal, you moron! Don’t you sound as if I am the abnormal one here!"

"Yeah, whatever, but I need to alert him with his duty. Besides, of course, I will point it out when you’re always extra nice with everyone, except me."

Zenith whined at him, while unknowingly adoring his sudden smack on his shoulder that seemed to him like an angry kitten trying to punch its owner with its tiny cute paws after being declined extra treats.

While Kylian was still flustered from his whines, Zenith further added to that guy, "Also, Barnes, you don’t need to report everything to Mr. Clark, because from now on I will be your main boss, got it?"

"Yes, Master." Barnes humbly bowed to his command, but with small glances, he didn’t fail to watch both Zenith and Kylian bickering in front of him.

In fact, watching Zenith pretty laid back before Kylian, compared to his usual cold arrogant self. The change was very evident to the point of allowing him to hit him without a complaint, a small smirk curved his lips when Barnes thought to himself.

’Seems like Young Master quite adores this boy. But who is he? He’s also quite handsome and pretty, also he seems like a strong Alpha. But now I can understand Mr. Clark’s confusion, why would Young Master bother to adore a manly Alpha guy like him?’

"Anyways, why were you waiting for us here?" Kylian intervened again, asking Barnes to clear off the awkward atmosphere between the three of them.

To his question, Barnes took out a small bunch of keys from his pocket and handed it over to Zenith, before he asserted in a serious tone, "These are the keys you had ordered for, Master. I have successfully obtained that for you."

"Good job, you seem quite useful, Barnes." Zenith tossed a cold smirk at him while checking the bunch of keys accurately.

"What are these keys for?" But confused by their discussion, he tried to take a look at those keys from Zenith’s hand but he didn’t grant it, instead, Zenith carefully tucked those keys inside his pocket. After he was done, ignoring Kylian’s glowering eyes, he asked Barnes, "Do you want to convey anything else?"

"Yes, Master. A few students are doing their night jogging on the yards outside, so you might not be able to avoid their gazes even if you take the back door, Master. You need to think of any other option to enter inside." Barnes sounded very firm from his pitch as if he had observed the situation keenly before reporting it to Zenith.

Exhaling a long sigh, Zenith flicked his two fingers while signaling Barnes to leave, and obeying his command, Barnes quickly disappeared into the dark murky road ahead of them.

Confusedly observing the situation, after Barnes left, Kylian averted his gaze towards Zenith and couldn’t suppress himself from grunting at him in an irked tone, "Hey, I just don’t get why am I even here when you do not bother to tell me what’s going on.

"Besides, you’re the one who abducted me from the Academy, so if the Superintendent Officer interrogates me, I can tell him the truth that it’s your doing. So, why should I stand here any longer? I am going inside right through this back gate."

But before Kylian could take a step ahead, Zenith grabbed his arm from behind to stop him from leaving as he gazed into his baffled eyes, "You’re always too impatient, aren’t you, kitty?"

"Hey—"

"Even if you complain about me to the Superintendent, I won’t receive any punishment, and you know that too, right? So, you’ll be the only one who would be punished in the Academy, in worst cases, you might get suspended for months."

Zenith’s voice sounded a bit mysterious when he coldly smirked at Kylian. Watching Kylian’s face contort in anger as what he told was indeed the truth, Zenith proclaimed, "Right now I am trying to think of a way that will be beneficial for both of us.

"As Barnes said, there are boys still awake at this late night, so we absolutely can’t catch any of their attention while sneaking inside."

"Then what the hell we are supposed to do?" Exhaling a big nervous sigh, Kylian asked, trying to unleash his arm from Zenith’s grasp but instead, his grip tightened around his wrist.

"As I told you, I have thought of a plan." Just as he spoke, Zenith yanked Kylian close to him, and leaving his arm, he wrapped his hand tightly around his waist instead. Suddenly being embraced by him once again, Kylian could feel his heart pounding uneasily again as he could sense Zenith’s pheromones were emitting stronger than usual.

"W-Wait, what are you planning now? D-Don’t tell me, did you think of something perverted again? I don’t have the slightest will to go according to your whims now—"

"Will you just calm down a bit? I know you have quite a bad impression about me but I am not a horny pervert who would always think of lewd things."

Interrupting Kylian with a scoff, Zenith tightened his hold around his slim waist before a sly smug curved his sharp jawline, "But, I must warn you, wrap your one arm around my shoulder and hold onto me tight. Don’t complain to me later on if you get scared!"
