Chapter 102: 2nd Side Story-01

JOE

I step out of the convenience store, a plastic bag clutched in my fist and the snow is pouring from the sky relentlessly. The new year was way better than expected. I like John. He is the best person my brother could ever find. But maybe, maybe if he was with Leo then I would be a little happier than this.

Leo is beautiful and is an omega. He is a dominant one over that. I wonder what it would be like for Erwin to have such a charming partner like him. Well that man himself is charming too. I think he even outmatches my brother with his face. I just hope they are happy together.

I sigh. Why am I the one who still hasn’t found an appropriate partner yet?!

"Joe? You are Joe, right?" I flinch and spin to the direction the deep voice came from. My eyes meet a pair of dark eyes. They are so familiar yet they are strangers to my eyes. I know them but at the same time, I don’t. Because they don’t belong to the person I know but the person who he is happened to share his blood connection.

Leon Snow, the older brother brother of Leo Snow, my older brother’s best friend.

"Yes." I answer, "You are Mr. Leon Snow, aren’t you?" I ask back.

"I didn’t expect to meet you here, Mr. Harlock." Leon approaches me, his expression calm and collected.

His eyes are the same as Leo’s and there are some pointed resembles of their features but he is much larger than Leo. They both share the same aura of domination and authority but Leon’s aura is approachable while Leo’s is not. Leo is always surrounded by an air of superiority that makes him far unreachable from the normal folks but Leon’s aura is a bit different. He is dominant too but he is approachable.

"I didn’t expect to see you here too, Mr. Snow." I return him with a polite smile.

"It’s late. What are you doing out here at this hour?" He checks his wristwatch, his every movement is unhurried and languid.

"I just came out here to buy beer I ran out of it." I hold up my bag to show him the plastic bag in my hand.

"Aren’t you underage?" Leon raises an eyebrow, "How can you buy alcohol?"

I turn slightly red in embarrassment, "Hey! I am not underaged! I have turned twenty-three!"

"Oh, I am sorry." Leon apologizes and his dark eyes flick over my body, "You are just too tiny."

And I exactly know what he is thinking. He thinks that he can crush me effortlessly but the idea makes me excited instead of making me scared. I know I shouldn’t think this way of someone whom I barely know.

"And you are just too big," I complain.

"I am a dominant alpha after all." Leon remarks nonchalantly, "This is only natural for me that I am bulkier than omegas and regular alphas."

I don’t know where the conversation is going so I switch the subject, "You didn’t tell me why you were here."

"Oh, I live around here," Leon says, casting a glance over his surroundings.

"I live in this neighborhood too!" I exclaim.

"Oh?" Leon frowns slightly, "I thought you lived with your brother."

"I used to live with him." I correct him, "But as he has moved in with John, I live on my own now." I say clearly happy that I live alone now.

Ruth is a super possessive big brother. When I was moving into the city for the school and asked for permission if I could live alone, the answer was straight no. Even Mom and Mommy agreed to let me stay alone but the bastard wouldn’t let me. So I had to live with him. He says that there is a reason why he wouldn’t let me live on my own in this city and I still won’t get why he wouldn’t let me. So now that he has abandoned me for his love I am flying to the moon and back because of happiness. For the first time in my life, I think I have grown up.

"Oh." Leon doesn’t give me any of the reaction I expected from him like: Oh my God! You live alone?! You are so grown up now. But I figure that it’s natural because living on your own isn’t a big deal on the continent. I am just making it bigger than it seems. "So are you done around here?" Leon glances around the area taking in the empty atmosphere around us.

"Yeah." I answer simply, "I just came here to buy a few midnight snacks."

This is my first time out of the house this late at night. Ruth would never let me set foot out of the apartment at this hour. He wouldn’t let me drink too. He was such a pain in the ass.

"Okay. Then, I will walk you home." Leon announces and my eyebrows jump in surprise.

"No, no it’s fine!" I try to refuse him politely, "I will be okay, my apartment is just around the corner."

"And so is mine." Leon states, "It would be better if we walk together or you don’t want me to walk with you?"

Now what am I supposed to say to this question?

"O-Okay then." My voice drops to a tone barely over whisper as I accept his offer, "If you don’t mind."

And we start to walk together by the side of the empty road. An awkward silence stretches between us and I am suffocating in the air. I can’t take it anymore so I decide to break the silence.

"So, Mr. Snow, where is your car?" I try awkwardly, "It broke down so I left it with my assistant." he answers simply.

"And you walked all the way here?" I exclaim in surprise, "I thought you guys were super rich and didn’t know how to walk on your feet."

Leon looks at me out of the corner of his eyes and his lips twitch a bit before replying, "So you came here alone at this late at night. Does your brother know?" He is changing the subject to a very threatening one.

"Hell no! He will kill me if he knows." I exclaim in horror.

"So there is a reason why he wouldn’t leave you on your own. You are too naive to be an omega." Leon remarks and a flash of anger scoots under my skin.

"What do you mean?" I say, my smile dissipating and my eyes narrowing.

"I mean you don’t have any idea what the outside world is like." Leon’s expression doesn’t change to the least, his eyes remain fixed on the road ahead.

"Why do you sound like my brother?" I raise an eyebrow, "Are you my brother?"

I never want you to be my brother.

Leon gives me a sidelong glance before shaking his head, "No. I don’t want to have any other younger siblings than I already have. Jules and Leo are quite a handful. But your brother is right. If he lets you be on your own then you will end up in a brothel. Or worse killed."

My body shudders at the lone thought of it. "Why are you so concerned about me?"

"I am not concerned about you." Leon shakes his head again, not even bothering to look at me, "I am just trying to explain the truth to you that being so trusting will end up getting you killed. A simple truth. Maybe it sounds harsh coming out of my mouth since I am not related to you at all."

My anger is flushing beneath the surface and I don’t know how to subside it. I have never been this angry at someone before. I think despite this man’s handsome place he has some special kind of method of getting under my skin. "Look who is talking. Someone who fell for such an obvious scheme and had a long long long fight with his younger brother." I scoff

Oh no, I said it...

I realize what I have said and my head snaps to Leon’s direction and I see him staring at me. Anger remorse and sorrow is getting collided in his dark eyes. When he meets my eyes he takes his eyes off me and starts to watch the road ahead of us once again.

"I don’t know who said those things to you and I know that it’s only the truth but I prefer you not to talk about it," Leon says, his tone dripping with cold fire.

"I am very sorry..." This is the only thing I can say to tell him how bad I am feeling for saying those words too him. I want to slap myself ow.

Silence once again dawns on us. This time even more awkward than before. So I decide to part ways here.

I turn to him, "I can go from here. You don’t have to come with me anymore." I say.

"But my house is that way." Leon blinks and I blink too.

"Oh." I shut my mouth and continue to walk. I have a feeling that whatever is going to happen from now on will be a whirlwind.

And it happens, surprisingly I find myself in the same building with Leon Snow, on the same floor. And our apartments are facing each other like mirrors.

Now don’t tell me that Leon is my neighbor!
