Episode 4

Is he worried about me?

Does he care?

These are some questions that invade my mind when I listen to his words, but I also can't help but ask:

If he cares about me so much, why has he been so cruel to me since that day?

I shake my head, trying to expel those thoughts, because even though a smile wouldn't appear on my face, I was happy for that small display of affection. I couldn't ignore the acceleration of my heart, just as I couldn't ignore the fact that I was still completely in love with that alpha.

My thoughts are cut off by Edgard's deep, calm, and melancholic voice.

Edgard Colin - Just go out to eat, that's all I ask of you, my omega.

"My omega?" Am I still his omega?

I open the door, seeing my husband standing there in front of me. I wonder if he came home for lunch that day or if he forgot something from work. I smell that familiar omega scent again, and it makes me tear my eyes away from him, holding back tears that seemed desperate to break free. I walk quickly away from him, but he follows me.

Edgard Colin - Let me explain.

He takes my hand, making me stop and look at him.

Saki Preston - I'm going to eat, so let me go.

Edgard Colin - I'm not cheating on you, my omega. If I were, you would feel it, we are bonded.

He says, looking at me with a desperate look, as if he desperately needs me to believe his words. He's right, if he had cheated on me, I would know, because we are bonded. But can I trust that? That bond that seems to no longer work.

Saki Preston - I understand, you can let go of me now.

I say, looking into his eyes. He takes a while to let go of my arm, but he does.

Edgard Colin - You know I don't smell pheromones from other omegas besides yours, so I don't know when I'm bathing in them, forgive me.

What's going on?

Why is he acting this way?

Should I hold on to this?

No, I'm tired, and these words and actions could be nothing more than sweet lies, just like the ones I clung to to endure this pain that seems to have no cure. I turn my back on him and keep walking to the dining room, but each step I take is so heavy. I reach the long staircase to the first floor and wonder how much easier everything would be if I just fell down. It would be painful, but this pain would go away, and maybe I would be happy in another life.

I feel something grab me and lift me off the ground. When I realize it, Edgard has picked me up.

What?

Why is he doing this?

What is he doing?

Saki Preston - What are you doing?

I ask, looking into those eyes that seemed both angry and dead. What happened?

Why is he angry?

Did I do something?

End of Saki's point of view

Edgard's point of view

After that, I just went to the office, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get Saki off my mind. I couldn't stop asking myself how much he was suffering, how much I had hurt him, and if I could still heal that sweet, gentle, and fragile heart. If I held his heart the same way he holds mine, could I win him back?
