POSSESSION: The Hidden Omega In All Alphas' Academy [BL]-Chapter 156: I will protect you from them

Though the rattlesnake was huge in size, it was minding its own business by crossing the mountain trail path to reach deeper inside the thick forest surrounding them. However, unfortunately, it was the only path available for trekkers to carry their journey uphill, so it was quite natural to have these kinds of surprises all along the way as they moved ahead.

However, Kylian didn’t expect Zenith to have a phobia of snakes, and even though he initially snorted to watch the way he leaped behind him. But sooner when he felt his shivering big hands clenching onto his shirt quite tightly from behind, Kylian realized Zenith must’ve been badly scared to tremble like a newborn fawn.

Hearing him pout and whine, Kylian calmly moved ahead and grabbed the snake with his arm without a flinch, before tossing it away far from them deeper in the forest. The way he threw it away without showing any slightest discomfort made it seem as if Kylian just tossed out a piece of rope, leaving Zenith amazed at the sight.

"I am sorry, I didn’t mean to make you feel bad by laughing. It’s fine...we all have something we are afraid of, and it’s a natural response. See, I have thrown it away, so don’t be afraid anymore, Zenith.

"As we go up ahead, I promise, I will keep a keen watch on our trail path so that you won’t be scared like this again. And if we encounter any other snakes, just leave it to me...I will just tackle them for you."

Kylian’s soft comforting words with his endearing smile under glistening sunrays left Zenith fazed by his charm, as he could feel his heartbeat pounding faster. The way Kylian calmly tackled his fear, was the very first time someone had bravely stood up for his protection like this after he had lost his Mom.

Until now, he had mustered the determination to live a life of solitude where there would be no one he could count upon.

But Kylian was the only one who proved him wrong.

For the first time, under the warm sun rays glistening on him, Kylian appeared majestically beautiful like a prince in his eyes, who made his heart feel the assurance that Zenith wasn’t all alone anymore, neither he would have to force himself to bear all of his fears and insecurities by himself.

Zenith tenderly smiled at himself after the realization, with a blushing hue that spread across his porcelain cheeks. For a moment, it was hard to process that he was protected by an omega, the class whom he had despised for his whole life...but now...he couldn’t bear to live his life alone anymore, now that he had found his darling omega.

"Why are you laughing now?" Watching him let out a flustered chuckle made Kylian a little confused as he couldn’t help but ask him, "Are you that happy that I have thrown the snake away?"

"You just...keep amusing me in everything you do, babe." Still holding that crimson shade in his porcelain cheeks, Zenith softened his gaze at him, moving closer to where Kylian stood.

"The way you tossed that thing away it seemed as if you just threw away a rope. Sometimes I wonder...are you really surely an omega? They are always considered the weakest among the classes and require constant protection from other classes. But now, I find it funny that I am the one who requires protection from you...Haha..."

Even though Kylian didn’t express it through words, his ocean eyes filled with affection to see Zenith laughing so blissfully being with him. Until now, most of the time he had only seen him putting on that diabolical expression or sometimes with the scary sneer...but the more they had started to spend time together, he realized Zenith had started to smile more amicably, which must be his true smile that was suppressed beneath his cold exterior for all these years.

With a confident shrug, Kylian answered after a brief pause, "Well, I just want to fight against the awful prejudices the society has set on us omegas. Not every omega is a delicate one who requires protection...some also exist just like me, but they were morphed by this stupid world to act delicately, just because we were omegas.

"I want to change this way of thinking everyone harbors for us, Zenith. And...there’s no way, I would be scared with something like snakes. You see, I have spent countless years training in a thick mountain forest back in my hometown to become stronger like Alphas...so...being around these things doesn’t faze me a little. So, don’t fret, and follow me from behind, I can easily protect you, Zenith."

Giving his answer when they set forward on their journey, Zenith obediently followed him from behind, while his onyx eyes were filled with affection for Kylian. Gawking at him from behind, he mumbled, "Then I bet...you don’t have anything to fear, right?"

"I do have." With a small smirk, Kylian sounded a little cryptic in his tone as he answered, "Everyone has something they are afraid of. And...it’s very natural."

"Really? Then what are you afraid of, babe?"

Zenith’s curious question widened his smile when Kylian asserted, "Figure it out yourself. You wish to become a better person than me, don’t you? So figure out everything about me on your own. Only that way I would consider that you actually want to change for me, okay?"

"Fine...then I will do my best to figure out what fears you the most, sweetie." Moving closer, Zenith grabbed Kylian’s hand as they walked side by side along the path, flashing a sincere smile at him, "And after I have found it out, I will do my best to protect you from that forever, okay?"

"Is that a promise?" Kylian tossed a soft smile at his question, with a radiant glimmer in his ocean eyes.

"Of course, I give you my word for that. We are together in this adventure called life, and you already know...an Alpha never goes back on his words." Holding his hand tight to imply it as a form of reassurance, Zenith gave a blissful smile as he professed aloud.
