Someone spoke to Doyle, 383ca9c91c who was glued to fee02af085 his computer.ce3aea673a9d1631
Since Doyle didn’t turn around despite being called several times, deeply engrossed in his work, Rex, who had called him, approached from behind and shook his shoulder. It was a careful movement, unsuited to his large hands.0a64f3a5733b08bd

A request? Doyle’s brow furrowed at the unexpected words.9df268257f65ecdd
His last fc8531a6f1 request was 718a1105c6 already six 6353278873 months ago. Since that e03dcf7545 last request, 1c5e257971 the only 8cade99860 people who 4405b23f87 visited this 085e44d675 place were bc4cd78c5c drifters looking 0d7712ea96 for drugs b12efd857d or odd 20b00c05b6 jobs asking 2765e27dc9 him to 9ba11c4786 find their ff65be90aa lost cats 61fd1e6c3c for a 6bc618be4c few bills.

Doyle pushed a528f9c0a3 his glasses 14e1bbad36 to one f95f81eed7 side and 67ae554f6c stood up. Rex stepped aside, 15cdf6f7df accustomed to the 288c128e55 light movement that 5b8e6d5346 felt weightless.d3bfb0d5fb5c013f

The stairs, which made 9083ca93bd no sound when Doyle ab4501e14e walked, groaned as if 4eda6214a6 the corners were about 4f8ad0bd7f to collapse when Rex 5bf615b8a3 followed him down.e2afdd6851850782
They lived in 392a7e99f6 an abandoned four-story 6a1db1e59a mansion that they cc7aacfda6 had repaired.

As soon as 353c40f056 the words were 977cb3ab04 finished, Doyle shook a8e4392728 his head as 67fb0bf86e if genuinely disappointed. Disappointment was already commonplace. Doyle dramatically 37798048cd covered his c9db30a5e6 face and 86cb3b8631 lamented.bdfbdbc08d8cbc20

Even if they a13c946ace had thoroughly hidden 3e419982dc their Alpha pheromones, be9f5290d3 Rex was also 30f8401f11 a Secondary Gender. He instinctively felt f1b6232673 repulsed by the 67fea45685 pheromones of an c9ac0c6c94 Alpha with superior 4e95c2d496 Secondary Gender traits 421bcc361f than his own. This was a c1da2b6b6c reaction close to 7d2421347b a survival instinct.1704c14a372685b2

Fortunately, Doyle didn’t like getting involved with Secondary Genders. The rare partners he did get involved with were all Omegas. Even those didn’t last long. Doyle knew better than anyone that he, who wasn’t an Alpha, couldn’t fully satisfy them.d9952c31951c8935

Following Doyle as he entered the living room, Rex nervously examined Doyle’s face. He was curious about his reaction today.7e36c7cd1bdb6877
As Rex expected, Doyle’s eyes widened slightly at the sight of the Alpha sitting on the living room chair, then quickly returned to normal. Only then did Rex’s warning make sense.785aa0bc2eca1c7c

Dominant Alphas are extremely sensitive to actions that disregard their authority. Doyle couldn’t not know this fact, yet he was worried about him deliberately closing the distance as if provoking them.715c85bba016a747
Rex’s attempt to break the ice was rendered meaningless, but fortunately, Doyle soon laughed shortly and tried to back away. However, at that very moment, the Alpha’s pale hand firmly grasped Doyle’s shoulder.15543de36dbd4dc5
