CHAPTER FIFTEEN: THE SCARS THAT NEVER LEAVE US
----------------------------------------
Snippet Fifteen (2): Misery Loves Company
Three men sit on the sofa in their previous Alpha’s house. All three men sit in the house that is completely silent for what feels like hours before one of them breaks. “God dammit, Leonard. Is what I overheard between you and Tobias right before we went to Lord Aiden’s correct?” Gerhard turns and gives Leonard the evil eye. “Well!” Gerhard yells as both Leonard and Noel jump. “Is it true...”
Leonard breaks his silence. “Yes, alright?! Yes. it’s true. I was drunk when Noel came to get me from my brother’s house. We went to this apartment and I got sobered up before both of us took a shower. That’s when it happened.” Here Leonard swallows hard. “I -” his voice breaks and a tear falls down from his eye. “I can’t help what happened this morning. I can only promise to do better.”
At this Gehard screeches and pulls Leonard up before punching him in the face. The two of them beat on each other before Noel puts a stop to it. “Oi!” Noel yells before whistling at the two of them to stop. The punches slowly stop as Noel gets their attention. “You two can either fight each other again or we can resolidify our bonds and fuck each other instead.”
He strips his clothes off and walks naked to the only bedroom.
----------------------------------------
An hour after they’re all done, they stare up at the ceiling of the bedroom. “I’m sorry, Gerhard, okay?” Leonard says while picking at the threads of his shitty sheets. “I already told Noel this, but I was a shitty Alpha for our circle.” He flips over and sobs into the pillow.
Stolen story; please report.
Gerhard and Noel look at each other knowingly before leaving the man to cry in peace; they head to the bathroom to clean up the mess that was made as they were turned into Gheyos. “It doesn’t help that he was going to renounce his rank,” Noel whispers to Gerhard. “I think in time he’ll be fine with basically being the Alpha. We should all go to the pits and get training though. With Alexia being so intrigued by the Teneibris clan, we might end up joining them as another circle to pull on.” They quietly clean up the shards of ceramics from broken tiles. “It doesn’t help that his parent’s circle is basically breaking apart at the seams. I don’t want to tell you too much, but his bearer was kicked out of the circle.” Noel looks knowingly at Gerhard. “I know it’s no excuse for him day drinking two times, but it is forgivable. That and he planned on renouncing his rank and switching to an Advisor rank. The amount of stress he must have been under to keep the circle together as a misranked Alpha must have been intense. At the very least, we are lucky it was just drinking and not done in front of our Submissive.”
Gerhard sighs before hitting his head against the tiles. “Yeah. That explains a lot. We really will need to go to the pits won't we...” He sighs before cuddling with Noel on the shower floor. “I just wish he had said something, we are there to help him.” The two of them cuddle with each other for a while before Leonard shows up at the bathroom door.
“Room for one more? I do hope that this can one day be forgiven.” He says with sad red-rimmed eyes. He strips off his clothes and the three of them shower with each other before showing each other they still care and love each other.
