—

Showing that he was pleased with it, Ian moved his waist slowly. These movements were contrary to his thoughts.

“Uung…”

As his still erect manhood moved inside her, Melissa let out a moan. The omega, who responded even when she was asleep, was so lovable in his eyes.

He couldn’t wake a sleeping person, so he moved slowly a few times and then stopped. Instead, he deeply sucked all the flesh that touched his lips.

Marks were left where his lips touched, like a red flower, blooming. Unlike his cold, rational mind, his heart was very satisfied with the marks left on her fair skin.

Like proof that she was his.

His seething desire for possessiveness and monopoly were fueled. To leave more traces of him. But he couldn’t bear to leave a trace on her nape.

It felt like he was going to bite her just as he put his mouth on it.

“Huu…”

Searching for traces of Melissa’s pheromones buried in his, he bit and sucked on her. Then there was a knock on the outbuilding.

“Mmh…”

The knocking was so strong that Melissa’s sleeping eyelids trembled. Ian, who wanted her to wake up but didn’t want her to wake up for reasons other than his own, pulled himself out of Melissa’s flesh, which he didn’t want to get out of.

“Huu…”

Despite his slow movements, Melissa reacted swiftly. At the feeling of her clenching down on him, his pillar swelled once more.

Bang bang bang!

“Huu.”

With a towel he found nearby, he roughly covered his lower half and went out of the bedroom. As he left, he realized once more how shabby and small Melissa’s annex was.

Bang bang—!

Before he could arrive, there was another loud bang. Ian threw the door open, annoyed. The person who knocked on the door was none other than Henry.

“What’s going on?”

He confirmed that it was Ian who came out and hurriedly opened his mouth. He already knew Ian was here.

The maid who delivered Melissa’s meals had been there several times.

“Young Lord! The Duke is back!”

Ian was about to dismiss Henry if he was causing all this fuss over something insignificant, but as he heard the butler’s words, his eyes widened. His father went down to the ducal territory, yet he returned to the capital’s mansion only after a few months.

“…Bring me a change of clothes.”

“Yes!”

“Oh, and clean the best annex near the main building.”

“May I ask what you are planning to use it for?”

“Prepare the annex for Melissa, not me. Not a shabby place like this one, but an annex like the one Lady Nicola uses. Understand?”

Henry read displeasure in Ian’s gaze and tone. He couldn’t figure out whether it was because Melissa used such a shabby annex, even if it was a contract, or if it was because the Young Lord’s wife was treated worse than someone who didn’t even have the surname of Bryant.

What was certain was the fact that he had to find an annex worth using right away and decorate it.

“I, I understand!”

Watching Henry leave in a hurry, Ian returned to the bedroom, not hiding his annoyance. He seemed to be going crazy at the fact that he had to get out of there, leaving behind his omega who hadn’t woken up yet.

“Huu…”

But he had to see his father. This time, he had to hear a definite answer from his father, who disappeared like the wind every time.

He wrapped Melissa tightly in the blanket. She couldn’t be left alone, so he had Henry, who brought the clothes, call for a maid before he could leave the annex.

After leaving through the front doors, he looked back several times as he walked away. But as soon as it disappeared from his sight, he moved swiftly towards his destination.

#07_Things to keep in mind

Even if Henry moved diligently, he could not be faster than Nicola.

Hearing that his father was in the office, Ian tried to enter and almost bumped into his mother, who burst out in tears.

Even though he hated his mother so much, her tear-stained face made him feel pity for her for a moment. Ian, who hesitated for a moment, was quickly caught by Nicola.

“Hic, hiicc…”

She wanted to cry in the arms of her son, but that cruel alpha wouldn’t allow even that.

“If you’re here, shouldn’t you come in quickly!”

The high-pitched voice echoed through the hallway. Ian’s father returned to the mansion after a long time, but he was still the owner of the place.

Ian passed his sobbing mother into the office. His father, who was sitting in the top seat on the sofa, looked at Ian with a stern look.

“You’re here.”

“Yes. What are you doing? Close the door.”

“…Ah yes!”

The aide who was working in the office moved quickly when he heard the order. Until the moment the door closed, Nicola did not leave the door.

Rather, she did not take her eyes off Ian’s father until the door was completely closed. The golden eyes staring intently with tears in her eyes were familiar yet uncomfortable.

Click.

The door closed and there was silence for a while. His father opened his mouth as he lifted the teacup from the table.

“So you brought in an omega.”

“…Yes.”

“Is there any reason you had to put her in the family registry?”

“I’m sick of seeing alphas born from mistresses.”

“Haha, you’re my son, but you’re really unusual.”

“It’s funnier to me that all alphas are illegitimate children.”

“There should be some little flaws like that, so the betas will be less wary of the alphas. A flawless existence cannot be maintained for long.”

Ian, stared at his father, still handsome with his black hair neatly combed in his old age. The same father, who had been screaming so terribly that everyone was shaking, laughed and joked with Ian and his aide when his mother disappeared.

“Don’t you think so too? Wouldn’t it be unlucky for the alphas to have them all?”

“What? No, Duke. How could that be?”

“I won’t eat you for speaking honestly, so tell me honestly.”

“Such a trivial thing is not Your Grace’s fault.”

“Hoho, you have become very snarky in the meantime I haven’t seen you.”

“I was just telling the truth, Duke.”

“Hahaha!”

Ironically, his father, who seemed approachable enough to be friendly to even an aide, couldn’t stand his mother the most.

Of course, because of his mother’s attitude, Ian didn’t feel sorry for her either. He would rather be on the fed-up side, like his father.

Unlike his father, who was leisurely drinking tea, Ian’s impatience rose to the top of his throat. He was madly anxious that he had left the omega alone, who he had even knotted.

He did not know who coined the term restrictive obsession, but he thought it was very apt. Ian, who became extremely sensitive because he could not see the person he was obsessed with, could not stand it and brought up the main topic.

“Father, am I enough to inherit the title now?”
