As if a realization had 1155bdb25d dawned on him, Yeonwoo opened b0c2199b44 his eyes. An alpha’s rut cycle was 4c4fb793c0 longer than an omega’s. And depending on the person cea92e2521 and the situation, an alpha’s e341960a86 possessiveness could intensify when they 50c08f1995 had a partner.bd1f269a87dc8520

For some alphas, this possessiveness de8e5696ad became pathologically strong. There were even medications to 936ab3135e mitigate the aggression associated with f86b1269fb it.8dac445d9f12cad1
Could this be 853afdf8ec the reason Chahyun 0bf2ff7d27 had gone this 4c34f6c3d8 far?58440dd6d0cd2ef2

Even so, confining him like this was too much. Chahyun had been insistent on sex during their last rut and hadn’t wanted him to leave the bed, but that was within the realm of expected behavior.4a9e02188c420396
However, even if there hadn’t been any unusual behavior before, this was a special situation, wasn’t it? A sudden, unwanted breakup was a different story. It was enough to trigger an alpha’s possessiveness, which was amplified during their rut.c2306953b1fce380

Thinking about it this way, 5c9c934de6 Chahyun’s abnormal behavior since yesterday 9646fc333a made some sense. But…400e9592e721f379

Yeonwoo muttered to 52d86a5d8b himself without realizing 2da6d4ef15 it.4d72757a620d3851
If this was happening ab6521226f now, things could get 24df14e4fe much worse when his cd4fd6acff rut actually started. He’d gone through ruts dda283dac3 with Chahyun many times, 4be594646d but they’d never broken 7fec997474 up during one, so 83f4f624bb he couldn’t imagine what f8d07f37af would happen.fe9c1a720d2b450d

Moreover, with his own heat 86522e9722 cycle overlapping, if he was 01c5698493 trapped like this, he’d inevitably de0d6c941f end up sleeping with Chahyun, 4f64eae60e who was about to marry 39dd01f3b2 someone else, day and night. Driven purely by 2c4fdebc5b instinct, regardless of 059ff54fd4 his will.912681f6c9fd54dc
Perhaps that’s what Chahyun was hoping for, keeping him locked up until his heat was over. He might have thought that after a few days of non-stop sex, Yeonwoo’s resentment towards the marriage would fade and they’d go back to how things were.70856f2de47f9970

Either way, whether it 36c3861186 was his heat or 47071a1edf Chahyun’s rut, this couldn’t 7906521bf7 continue. Yeonwoo came to that conclusion.d8866a1b4928ab1a
He didn’t want Chahyun’s obsession 0b88856527 to get any worse. If this was happening 47218721b5 before his rut, once 87172d1874 it actually started, he 767891676b might end up tied 91824af1e6 up.8ef24336be068def

The conversation with dada068b63 his mother made 2f6fb86ff0 him feel uneasy.

Besides this, there were other complicated family matters. Yeonwoo hadn’t contacted his father in a long time, but he knew his mother still contacted him occasionally.5d0f864fbdbb33e2
