POSSESSION: The Hidden Omega In All Alphas' Academy [BL]-Chapter 183: Did you know?

With the soft chirping sound of humming birds echoing from the beautiful cherry blossom trees surrounding the shrine, the ambiance felt very peaceful for both Kylian and Zenith to convey their sincere prayers to the divine Moon Goddesses.

After a brief amount of time had passed, Kylian blinked open his eyes first and saw Zenith was still deeply indulged in his prayers, keeping his eyes shut with his soft red lips murmuring on their own.

The sight made a wide smile arch his lips as Kylian felt it extremely endearing, just to silently watch Zenith conveying his earnest wishes to their Holy Mother. Soon after Kylian blinked open his eyes, Zenith also opened his eyes with a gentle blink, and Kylian didn’t miss the chance to tease him a little.

"It looked like you had a lot to pray about from the Holy Mother, didn’t you?" Holding a sly smirk, Kylian sounded a little keen while urging him, "I am curious...What were you praying so hard, Zenith?"

"I...prayed about you." Zenith’s dark onyx eyes curved with a radiant glimmer when he answered in a soothing voice. "All of my prayers included you...because you’re my everything now, Kyle."

The way Zenith sincerely professed his answer without a second thought made Kylian a little flustered as he quickly averted his gaze away from him, scratching the nape of his neck. It was the likewise situation for Kylian as well since he had also deliberately prayed to the divine Mother about Zenith, but unlike him, Kylian didn’t have the guts to voice out his wish brazenly, like Zenith.

So, Kylian pouted at him, trying to hide his shyness, "Damn...you and your cheesy words always find a way to make me blush, huh?"

"I am serious, I only prayed for you, Kyle." Moving a little closer, Zenith sounded more sincere than ever in his tone as if he was deliberately trying to prove his point, "I didn’t even ask for anything else from the Holy Mother, only except you to stay by my side, Kyle. Won’t you trust me?"

"You’re truly a dummy." Still bearing that flushed red hue on his porcelain cheeks, Kylian pouted while flicking his finger gently on Zenith’s forehead, to stop him from leaning further close. "You’re supposed to pray for your Mom’s peace too, because you have returned here to fulfill her last rites, right? Didn’t you ask anything for her?"

His question dimmed the radiance on Zenith’s big onyx eyes as he slowly shook his head in denial, but a sad arc of a smile grew on his lips, "I didn’t ask anything for Mom...because watching me happy used to make her feel ecstatic the most. So...if I am content in my life with you, Kyle, I think...she’ll be at peace too..."

As Zenith spoke with such a sad glimmer in his eyes, Kylian couldn’t stand the sight of watching him feel glum as he suddenly grabbed his hand tight. Turning his face towards the Holy Mother, his blushed hue didn’t fade from his cheeks when he addressed his prayers aloud, "Ma’am, I hope from wherever you’re watching your little troublemaker son...I hope you’re at peace now.

"I know he should’ve been the one to say these words, but he’s such a fool so I am saying it on his behalf. Please don’t be angry with Zenith for returning here after such a long time. Please bless him with your love and hope. He still loves and longs for you very much, but I assure you, I will do my best to make him happy. So...you can rest at peace now."

All of a sudden hearing Kylian convey his sincere prayers to Zorina, Zenith couldn’t help but feel a surge of tears choking down below his throat. An overwhelming surge of mixed emotions made his heart feel heavy inside, but on his face, he masked a wide smile to hide the sadness that was swallowing him inside, "Woah...the way you prayed to my Mom...it felt...as if you’re asking for her permission to marry me, babe."

But Kylian had become extremely proficient in figuring out Zenith’s expressions...and even though he tossed a teasing remark, just a glance at his sad rolled eyes which he was deliberately trying to avoid looking at, made Kylian realize that Zenith was trying to suppress his tears inside.

So, with a heavy huff of exhale, he pulled Zenith into a tight embrace and patted his broad back a few times, to help him feel a bit at ease with enduring his whirlwind of emotions inside his broken heart. However, just a hug from Kylian was easily able to make Zenith feel vulnerable, as he couldn’t hold back his tears from dripping down on his shoulder.

"As long as you’re with me, you can cry, nag, scream, laugh, or even annoy me...I will put up with everything about you. No need to try hiding your true emotions whenever you are with me, stupid. It’s fine...so don’t feel too distressed or try to endure it all alone, okay?"

When Kylian let out his soft yet bold words to console him, Zenith hugged him tighter with a small nod in response. In Kylian’s warm arms, he let out his emotions flow no matter how hard they were to suppress for all these years...especially thinking how long Zorina must’ve waited for Zenith to come back here and fulfill his rites as her only true family.

After a brief moment had passed by when Zenith finally parted himself from his broad shoulder, Kylian calmly continued wiping his tear-soaked face with his shirt, and to make his mood a little lighter, he even teased Zenith, "I don’t understand, how can someone look so drop dead gorgeous even after crying their eyes out! Seriously, the Holy Mother blessed you with too much dazzling charm compared to most of the Alphas I have seen, still, it feels a bit unfair sometimes..."

"Haha," as if his trick worked and Zenith blurted out a soft chuckle being his face wiped by Kylian, he gently rested his side face on his palm and mumbled in a soft tone, "But in my eyes, you’re the most prettiest, beautiful and adorable person I have ever come across in this whole world, Kyle. You’re...probably a million times more beautiful than me...babe..."

"Hah! You’re just blinded by love...to spout such nonsense..."

With a soft pout, after finishing wiping his face clean, both of them bowed their heads humbly to the divine Mother before they marched outside the shrine.

Upon coming outside, they saw along with that middle-aged monk who had guided both of them here, there was another very elderly serene-looking monk standing next to him.

Both of them had an enlightened aura around them and upon noticing him, Kylian marched ahead and humbly bowed to that new monk who was present there.

"Hello, Sir. We didn’t see you before but thank you for letting us visit here. The place is divinely beautiful, it soothed our hearts." With a humble bow when Kylian finished greeting them, the elderly monk patted his head with a soft, gentle touch and averted his glance towards Zenith who was slowly approaching them.

"You two...must be a couple, right?" All of a sudden, the elder monk mumbled in a soft voice which winced Kylian a little hard, as he turned a bit flustered red. Fiddling his fingertips, when he was contemplating to answer that question, Zenith marched close and rather uttered proudly.

"Yes Sir, we are a couple and we will be getting married soon."

"Shut up, you shameless idiot! Why do you always make me feel so embarrassed? I didn’t even completely accept your confession yet, and you’re talking about marriage? We didn’t even graduate yet, you fool!?" Pinching Zenith on his arm with a flustered whisper-shout, Kylian coughed his throat to clear his awkwardness as he noticed both the monks were smiling at his clumsy reaction.

After being pinched by him, Zenith didn’t say a word more but Kylian indeed professed in a low, shy voice, "Y-Yes...w-we are...umm, together, I guess."

"Haha...I can already see that." The man retained a big serene smile on his face before gazing into Zenith’s eyes intently for a few seconds before he spoke, "My child, don’t you have to finish your last rites for your Mother’s prayer meet?"

Both Kylian and Zenith winced at his sudden declaration, especially because they could realize the depth of the spiritual powers those divine monks were blessed with here. He was already aware of it when none of them didn’t mention a word about it now, but Zenith let out a small smile when he quickly agreed, "Yes Sir. I do intend to finish them now after all these years."

"Then you can follow with me, my child. I will guide you on how to finish the rituals for your mother, you’ll be able to return here soon." The middle-aged monk stepped forward this time and cordially asked Zenith to follow him.

Glancing at Kylian once, when he gave him a quick nod, Zenith felt ignited with confidence as he intently followed after that monk to perform his rituals. Initially, Kylian also intended to go along with Zenith but he felt he might be a hindrance there since Zenith would rather choose to focus on him, instead of those sacred rituals.

As soon as he was left alone with the elderly monk, within a few seconds, the monk stared at him for a few seconds ardently, before he spoke in a low, cryptic voice, "My child...you’re an omega, right?"

Kylian flinched hard from his sudden remark, but realizing that they indeed possessed spiritual powers, he humbly nodded his head, "Yes, sir."

"So...did you also know, that child...is your fated mate?" All of a sudden, the monk pressed a serene smile, before dropping the unexpected revelation.
