Kiss Me if You Can — Chapter 35

JOSHUA...

WHY DO I SMELL AN OMEGA SCENT ON YOU?

...AH.

I HAD TO GO TO THE STORE EARLIER BECAUSE WE WERE SHORT ON INGREDIENTS.

THERE WERE A LOT OF OMEGAS THERE.

I GUESS I MUST'VE GOTTEN DRENCHED IN THEIR PHEROMONES.

WHAT AM I EVEN TRYING TO CONFIRM?

I POURED OUT SO MANY PHEROMONES YESTERDAY... IF JOSHUA WERE AN OMEGA,

HE WOULD'VE REACTED TO THEM AND GIVEN OFF AN EVEN STRONGER SCENT.

...I SEE.

WELL, HURRY UP AND CHANGE YOUR SCHEDULE, THEN COME BACK.

...I'LL BE BACK.

JOSHUA, AN OMEGA? THAT'S RIDICULOUS...

HE DEFINITELY SAID HE WAS A BETA.

BUT...

IF HE KEEPS BEING EXPOSED TO MY PHEROMONES LIKE HE WAS YESTERDAY, IT COULD TRIGGER A TRAIT MUTATION.

WHAT IF JOSHUA BECOMES AN OMEGA BECAUSE OF ME?

WHAT IF HE STARTS TO HATE ME?

NO. I'M THE ONE WHO PROTECTS YOU.

HUU...

DISGUSTING.

THE WAY MY BODY IS SO EASILY SWAYED BY STUPID PHEROMONES... AND THE WAY I GET DRAGGED AROUND BY THEM... ALL OF IT MAKES ME SICK.

IS HE BACK ALREADY?

...JOSHUA?

CHASE, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU'RE DOING WELL,

MY BELOVED LITTLE BROTHER.

LONG TIME NO SEE.

I HEARD YOU WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. YOUR FACE LOOKS MORE INTACT THAN I EXPECTED.

SO, ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED OR SOMETHING?

OOH, MY COLD-HEARTED LITTLE BROTHER.

YOU NEVER APPRECIATE YOUR HYUNG'S GENUINE CONCERN.

I CAME BECAUSE I WAS CURIOUS HOW YOUR MOVIE SHOOT WAS GOING.

YOU, AS 'DOCTOR FLAME'...

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU'RE 'CHASE MILLER'.

NOT 'DOCTOR FLAME'.

IF YOU'RE JUST HERE TO MOCK ME, GET LOST.

DON'T BE LIKE THAT. IT'S BEEN SO LONG. COME HERE AND GIVE ME A KISS, LITTLE BROTHER.

FUCK OFF AND DIE!

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?! DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU?!

THEN AGAIN, YOU'VE ALWAYS MISUNDERSTOOD ME LIKE THIS.

IT'S NOT A MISUNDERSTANDING; IT'S THE TRUTH.

IF YOU TRULY LOVED ME, YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER DONE 'THAT' TO ME.

IT'S BECAUSE I LOVE YOU! I'VE ONLY EVER TRIED TO HELP YOU. DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

HELP ME?

YOU CALL FORCING ME TO FUCK A DOG DURING MY RUT "HELPING"?!

WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT FUCKING A DOG?

...WHAT?

IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT, YOU SHOULD'VE TAKEN YOUR PHEROMONE SUPPRESSANTS LIKE I TOLD YOU TO. I'VE TOLD YOU REPEATEDLY THAT YOU NEED TO TAKE THEM BEFOREHAND!

...I DIDN'T WANT TO. DO YOU JUST STICK IT IN ANYONE-OR ANYTHING-SO EMOTIONLESSLY?

CHASE, ALL HOLES ARE THE SAME.

WHY DO YOU KEEP ATTACHING UNNECESSARY MEANING TO IT?

ALL HOLES... ARE THE SAME...?

GRAYSON SAID BLISS WENT TO ENGLAND.

FROM A PARENT'S PERSPECTIVE, THEY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PROTECT THEIR BELOVED YOUNGEST SON.

HE'S THE ONLY OMEGA AMONG YOU, SO IT WOULD'VE BEEN A BIG PROBLEM IF YOU ALPHAS ENDED UP DESIRING HIM SEXUALLY.

WHAT ABOUT YOU? WHEN YOUR RUT CAME AND YOU HAD NO PARTNER...

DID YOU EVER LAY A HAND ON BLISS?

WELL, IF OUR CYCLES SYNCED UP, THERE WAS NO HELPING IT.

IT'S BETTER THAN DOING IT WITH A DOG, RIGHT?

HE'S OUR BROTHER...

AND AREN'T BROTHERS SUPPOSED TO HELP EACH OTHER? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? ISN'T IT A GOOD THING?

OR... WOULD YOU HAVE RATHER FUCKED A DOG AGAIN?

I-I DIDN'T DO IT.

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? YOU CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER ANYTHING.

MAYBE IT WASN'T EVEN A DOG. COULD IT HAVE BEEN A CAT?

...NO.

Alex

I-I...

DIDN'T DO IT.

NO...!

UGH...!

CHASE, I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU.

WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?

NATHANIEL AND I... ALL OF US ARE JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU.

...PLEASE, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.

CHASE.

DON'T TOUCH ME!! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!!

I SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU A LONG TIME AGO!

BACK THEN, INSTEAD OF ALEX...

I SHOULD HAVE JUST SHOT YOU!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?

JOSHUA...?

YOU CAN'T JUST COME AND GO AS YOU PLEASE, MR. GRAYSON.

EVEN IF YOU ARE FAMILY, YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN HIS PERMISSION PRIOR TO YOUR VISIT.

THEREFORE...

HA...!

I MUST ASK YOU TO LEAVE NOW.
