Episode 3

The doctor left the room and walked to the corridor where Nestor Grize was seated.

Nestor Grize: So? What happened to him? Does it have to do with the assault?

Doctor: Didn't any relative of his show up?

Nestor Grize: No. I work at the same company as him, I'm his partner. Can you tell me the situation?

Doctor: He has some water in his lungs. He'll stay here for treatment.

Nestor Grize: Water? What do you mean?

The voice of a woman behind them reported the problem.

Housekeeper Larissa: He drowned in the pool yesterday.

Doctor: And why didn't you bring him here?

Housekeeper Larissa: Mr. Eder didn't think it was necessary, he was fine right after.

Nestor Grize: How so? And where is he?

Housekeeper Larissa: Very busy at the company, I'll take care of Mr. Louis. Thank you very much for bringing him here.

Nestor Grize: You're welcome.

The annoyed man left the hospital.

Nestor Grize:{ I can't believe this! Such immaturity, to think that the company is in the hands of that kid!}

The next day, Louis returned home, accompanied by the housekeeper. As soon as he entered the living room, Eder came to meet him.

Eder Olid: How are you?

Louis Olid: I'm fine.

Eder Olid: That's great! Because you delayed all our work. You're going to have to work overtime all week to catch up!

Louis Olid: Yes, alright brother.

Eder turned his back and went to his room, took his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed a number.

Eder Olid: Good evening Sara, would you be able to come here today?

[Sara: Dear Eder, I can't make it today, I'm out of town. Are you alright?]

Eder Olid: No. I can't break free from the attacks. This week, I'm tense because we have important things going on at the company, Louis drowned and delayed everything. I... I don't feel well at all. An Alpha shouldn't feel this way! Why can't I control myself?

[Sara: You have to burn off that energy. Try swimming, running, or doing some other exercise. But, there are other things that work much better. I've told you this before. You have to have relations with someone, Eder, you're an adult. Hang in there, we'll get back to our sessions as soon as I get back. I promise I'll look for you soon.]

Eder Olid: Alright. Thank you.

The man hung up the phone and got in the shower.

The hot water ran down his body, outlining his muscles.

Eder Olid: {Damn it! I really need to do something. I'm tired of this...}

When he got out of the shower, Eder realized he wouldn't be able to sleep. He left his room and went to the pool. As Eder swam, Louise approached. He stood watching from afar, afraid to approach. Eder saw his reflection, and leaned on the edge of the pool.

Eder Olid: Throw me that towel, please.

Louis Olid: Oh yes... Sure.

Eder took the towel and left.

Louis Olid: I'm worried about you, brother... Isn't it getting worse?

Eder Olid: And what about you? Aren't you giving even more work than before?

Louis Olid: It was bad luck... You know, sometimes a wave of bad luck can lodge itself in a house.

Eder Olid: Where did you get that from?

Louis Olid: I heard stories.

Eder Olid: Damn it! You're such an idiot! I can't stand the nonsense you speak, you know?

Louis Olid: You think it's nonsense, but remember the meteor shower? You thought I was talking nonsense, but you were mesmerized when you saw it.

Eder gave a slight smile.

Eder Olid: It was a wonderful evening. But we were young, our parents didn't have...

Eder closed his hand and squeezed his fingers.

Eder Olid: Go to sleep!

Eder walked past Louis, the dripping drops and the white, wet robe clinging to Eder's body left Louis feeling strange. He covered his mouth and turned away.

Louis Olid: {Why did I look at him like that?}

Eder Olid: What is it? Go to sleep already! What do you want anyway?

Louis Olid: Nothing... I just wanted to see how you were doing...

Eder Olid: What for? To laugh at me? To feel superior?

Without realizing it, Eder started to get irritated again. He approached Louis, frowning, and some veins stood out on his face.

Eder Olid: Is that what you want? To laugh at me?

Louis Olid: No. I've never done that. And I never will.

Louis held Eder's hand

Louis Olid: Look at you. There's no reason, Eder, why are you so angry?

Eder pushed Louis into the glass door.

Eder Olid: Because of you! Because it's all your fault!

Eder's hands grabbed Louis's neck and squeezed.

Louis Olid: Eder... Eder!

Eder came to his senses and let go of his brother.

Eder Olid: It's better... You don't.

Being so close to Louis, Eder felt his temper change.

Louis Olid: It's okay... You were amazing just now. You managed to control yourself. See?

Eder looked at Louis, focusing his eyes on his lips, then moving closer.

Louis Olid: {What is he feeling now? I've never seen that look on him.}

Eder pressed his lips to Louis's and pulled him close. That strange feeling left him numb, to the point that he didn't want to stop.

Louis Olid: Eder... Wait!

Louis Olid: {He seems to be enjoying this, and the worst part is that I am too...}

Ignoring Louis, Eder continued for a while longer, until he finally came to his senses.

Eder Olid: I... Louis, I don't know why I did that, I really don't know what I was doing, I...

Eder pulled away and sat down in an armchair inside. He put both hands to his head, hiding his face.

Louis went up to him and touched his shoulder.

Louis Olid: It's okay. It's okay...

Louis hugged Eder.

Louis Olid: It's okay.

Eder buried his face in Louis's chest and calmed down, falling asleep soon after.

Louis Olid: {That was the strangest thing that's ever happened. But the truth... Is that I really like it when he lets me be close. And I'm happy when I can calm him down.}

Louis smiled and stroked Eder's hair.
