Chapter 213 Date with BRO

Elias’s POV

My golden retriever Noah is back. My mate is buzzing with the excitement of a child waiting for Santa Claus’s visitation. This irritating smile isn’t leaving my face no matter how hard I try.

I caught a glimpse of myself in a store window, and I’ve been trying to stop smiling since then. The simple task of maintaining a straight face is simply impossible. I blame Noah for messing with my brain chemistry.

Noah and Seoha are holding hands and discussing in front of us. Taesan and I are casually strolling behind them with our guns tucked away. I feel childish doing this, but I keep making sure I’m one step ahead of the older alpha.

Kang Taesan’s arms are folded and he’s acting too languid for my liking. I want him to be aggressive. He’s too good at this ’I’m in love’ thing.

"Oh! Sundae!" Seoha says while pointing at a store. He looks over his shoulder at Taesan who gives him a nod. While Seoha is getting permission, Noah doesn’t bother to look at me as he follows Seoha into the store.

I call him a puppy in my head, while I am the dog who follows.

There once was a time when I controlled him.

Taesan and I stand outside the store, watching our mates through glass window. They go to the counter and my eyes zero in on the black card Seoha pulls out casually. I turn my head to glare at Taesan.

"Your mate has a black card?"

"Your mate doesn’t?" he asks back with a smug smile.

Fuck him. I despise him. I loathe him in the way cats hate rats. My alpha makes a comfortable sound like he’s mocking and I freeze.

Since we’ve been here in Taesan’s territory, I haven’t glanced at my pocket watch for once. I haven’t sounded like a computer even in my own head. And I haven’t felt the need to completely bend Noah into my will. It’s like I am comfortably living as my age...a twenty-four-year-old guy.

Noah turns towards the window with a worried look. His blue eyes move around frantically like he’s looking for something. When they find me, he physically breathes a sigh of relief and smiles.

My throat tightens as my omega smiles at me and me alone. This isn’t a jack-in-the-box reaction. I’m not forcing him to give me a reaction. He’s smiling because he wants to.

Taesan growls next to me and I straighten.

"What?"

"Third table, two males and a female. They’re looking at our husbands" he says in a deep voice and I find them instantly. They are whispering to each other like friends working together to purchase a video game console. I look at Taesan’s face.

"I want them dead" I state.

"We’ll have them dead" he responds.

We go into the store and take a seat next to our omegas. Seoha’s round eyes light up at the sight of Taesan. Noah’s cheeks turn slightly pink, but he doesn’t look at me.

"I thought you two didn’t want to come in" he says while scooping a big spoon of ice-cream into his mouth.

"Hmm" is my only response. The bastards staring at my mate are now looking away. They seem to have found something else more interesting to talk about at the intimidating sight of Taesan’s face.

"Try some?" Noah asks and I find myself opening my mouth before I give my brain permission to.

"Delicious, right? Are you okay? Why do you look all dopey?" he asks and I shake my head. Noah is a wizard. He casted a spell on me and now...I’m gone.

"Bro...you good?" he asks and I snap out of the hazy feeling with a growl. "Did you just address me as...bro?"

"It’s just a title" he rolls his eyes with a shrug.

"Bro? you called me bro?" I ask again to make sure I heard right. The omega with my baby in his belly called me...bro.

"I think you’re overreacting, Elias. It’s just a title and everyone says it; bro hi, bro bye, bro..." he stops talking when he sees the murderous intent in my eyes. Bro. He called me bro.

"Angel...what ’bro’ fucks you raw and fills you with his baby?" I ask and his eyes widen.

"Okay, okay. My bad! Let’s move on" he says while looking around to make sure no one is listening to us. Seoha and Taesan are looking at us with amusement in their eyes. Noah, embarrassed by what he started, sinks into his seat and draws his shoulders up to his ears.

"What bro takes your virginity and learns sixty-nine just for you?" I ask to make sure the implication of that word sinks in, and Noah covers his face with both of his hands.

"I said lets move on. Lesson learnt" he complains and peeks at me through his fingers. He’s too precious for his own good. I take a few more bites of his ice cream.

"Don’t you get brain freeze?" he asks to change topics and I shrug. Brain freeze is not something I have experienced in a very long time.

"Wow...you’re really a frozen metal" my mate whispers and I don’t give a response. I shouldn’t tell him I’m melting faster than his dessert is. I just watch him return to chattering with Seoha.

They talk about fashion, talk about color, and talk about pups.

When they’re done, we leave the store together. We must be a sight to behold. One Angel in pink and one human Bambi with two monstrous men behind them.

"What do we do next?" Noah asks Seoha with a megawatt smile. It’s clear to see which one of them is extrovert and which one is introverted.

Seoha says a word I don’t understand, and we all look at Taesan to translate.

"Sauna" he says.

"Oh that sounds fun! Let’s go" Noah says. It does sound fun. I have never had time for a sauna in my life.

Thirty minutes later.

I am furious. This is not fun. Why the fuck do we have to separate into alpha and omega bathing areas? I have seen Noah’s naked ass more times than I have seen my own reflection.

But for the sake of not upsetting the omegas, Taesan and I become sulk buddies in the bathing area. Damn it.
