"That's… a… a precum, Sir…."
"Precum?!" Cha Junshik was again shocked by Alpheus' answer. "What kind of dream did you have to leak a precum on the bed?"
Cha Junshik wasn't really angry as long as it's not pee. Because it would have to be put into laundry. He thought it could be cum, and he would still have to wash it, but it wasn't as bad as pee.
But precum meant that Alpheus was dreaming or thinking about something dirty while sleeping.
Alpheus was so embarrassed right now he had no intention of telling Sir Junshik Hyung about the truth that he was actually dreaming of Sir Junshik Hyung pinning him down and humiliating him. It was too embarrassing.
"U—um… it's… it's about my dream with my mate, Sir…." Alpheus said as he tried to lie to Sir Junshik Hyung. "I had a dream about my mate."
"Your mate? Hmm…" Cha Junshik hummed for a second. For some reason, he felt a bit annoyed that Alpheus was dreaming about his mate while he was living with Junshik, even sleeping on the same bed. Yet, he couldn't do much since a topic like mate wasn't something that could be compromised.
Based on what he read in those werewolves' web novels and comics, he realized that most of those wolves could smell their mate and also only had one mate in their life.
Cha Junshik wasn't sure if that kind of fantasy rule also applied to Alpheus, but if it did, that meant Alpheus only had one mate in his life.
'Somehow, I still feel a bit annoyed that Alpheus was thinking about his mate. But it's not really my right to say anything, so….'
"Well, would you mind telling me what kind of mate is in your dream? Did you see her face?"
"Um…" Alpheus lowered his head even lower than before. He was truly ashamed right now. No way he would tell Sir Junshik Hyung that he wasn't dreaming about his mate, but about his SUPER MEGA BEST FRIEND, Sir Junshik Hyung.
"I—It's a he, sir…."
"Your mate is a man? Then how could you give birth to your future heir?" Junshik asked. He had read about few gay kings in history, but none of them were bride-less. They also had a wife and fathered a few children, even though they were gay.
Cha Junshik couldn't imagine what would Alpheus do to father a child if he would marry a man instead.
That realization came to Alpheus' mind after a while. He never thought about an heir, so naturally, he never thought about marrying a female. Since he also had this deep feeling, a sense that his mate was indeed a man.
"I—I don't know, Sir. I've never thought about fathering a child. I grew up alone after I was four years old, living with my uncle when I felt like it. But I mostly live in Elune Forest as a lone wolf since I was a pup."
"You know that you will have to father a child to pass the throne, right? Even if you don't like women," Junshik said. "What a pitiful bride, though, to be pregnant from a man that doesn't love her at all. Well, I'm sure that your male mate will understand about the situation."
Alpheus felt his heart was pinched when Sir Junshik Hyung said his male mate would understand the situation. It was Alpheus himself that didn't want to understand it, "Sir, Alphie will never sleep with anyone except my mate. Alphie refuses to!"
Cha Junshik sighed pitifully. He had expected that answer from Alpheus. But that was because Alphie was still naive about love and duty.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you. Let's talk about another thing for now, since your mate isn't here anyway," Cha Junshik tried to shift the topic because Alpheus' expression told him that he absolutely had no intention of having sex with someone else other than his mate.
"I've texted Laura Lovena, and we will be meeting her with her dog, a chihuahua called Batsy, at 03.00, understand?" Junshik said.
Alpheus, who was busy with his talk about his dream, suddenly remembered that he wanted to protest to Sir Junshik Hyung.
He didn't want to meet another person, and if that person was a woman and her dog, then Alpheus would tear that dog's neck apart, and that woman too!
"Sir, I don't want to go!" Alpheus exclaimed.
"Eh? Huh? Why? You said that you are okay meeting with another dog. It'll be good for you since you need to know other people," Cha Junshik tried to tell Alpheus about the benefit, but Alphie didn't seem to be moved.
He stared at Sir Junshik Hyung with a firm gaze and repeated the same thing, "Alphie doesn't want to go, Sir! There is no meeting with that female, and that dog too! Sir, maybe that woman is dangerous to you. Maybe… um… maybe he is actually a vampire that targets you because you're a handsome man with very sweet blood! This is definitely a trap, Sir!"
"Okay, now you're speaking nonsense," Cha Junshik sighed. "Don't you remember that I will never let you get in danger? As long as I'm with you, then you're completely safe."
"But…" Alpheus was still firm with himself. He didn't want to meet anyone, and Sir Junshik Hyung too! They were already complete as two SUPER MEGA BEST FRIENDS. There was no need to find someone else!
"Alpheus, if you don't like to meet with anyone, then I will be on my own," Cha Junshik said. "I will meet that student of mine with her dog. I already told her that I will come, and it's already a promise."
Alpheus gritted his teeth. He felt jealous that Sir Junshik Hyung insisted on meeting that woman, even though Sir Junshik Hyung already had Alphie by his side.
"You could stay in the house if you want," Junshik instructed. "Just don't make a mess while I'm away."
'Oh, there is no way Alphie will let Sir Junshik Hyung stay alone with another woman… and her dog! That woman will pounce my Sir Junshik Hyung!' Alpheus thought.
"Alphie will come, Sir!" Alpheus said reluctantly. He was truly annoyed by his own choice. But this was to protect Sir Junshik Hyung.
"So, you're coming with me then?" Junshik asked, making sure that Alpheus wouldn't change his mind again.
"Yes, Alphie will come…." Alphie repeated. "Alphie will protect you from any harm, Sir! Because Sir Junshik Hyung is my SUPER MEGA BEST FRIEND!"
Cha Junshik was pleased with Alpheus' obedience. This dog could be willful a lot of times, but he could also do good under certain reasoning.
"See? It's not hard to be obedient to me," Junshik said as he patted Alpheus' head.
"Well, since we are going to the park, you must wear a leash. It's not allowed by that park rule to leave a dog without a leash," Junshik said. "Hmmm, let's check what you bought yesterday."
Cha Junshik checked the bag and found two neckwear, a choker, and a dog collar. But the dog collar wouldn't fit Alpheus' small neck in dog form.
This dog collar was better for big dogs… or humans, of course. This collar was originally intended to be used in kinky play anyway.
And the choker… was a black choker with a heart lock in the middle to lock or release the choker. The choker was definitely only for humans. He also wouldn't let Alpheus wear it in public.
"Okay, time to go to a pet store. I think there is one nearby," Junshik said. He washed his face, brushed his teeth, and changed his clothes.
He looked at Alphie, who was watching him from the living room, "Turn into your dog form now. We're going shopping."
"Arf! I—I mean, Yes, Sir!" Alpheus laid on his arm and knee and then turned into his black pomeranian form.
Cha Junshik carried a tote bag on his left shoulder and Alpheus on his left hand. He put the dog Alphie close to his chest and used the GPS on his phone to search for the nearest pet shop.
**
Cha Junshik entered a big pet shop after he found one and was greeted with the sounds of barking and meowing around him. He approached the clerk, who was busy feeding a cat in a cage.
"Excuse me, I want to buy a dog leash. Where is the aisle for that?" Junshik asked.
"Oh—" the female clerk closed the cat cage and turned around. She was stunned when she saw the handsome face of Cha Junshik, added with him carrying a black pomeranian who stuck his tongue out for an extra charm.
"OOh, w—welcome, do you need anything?"
"I said, I want to buy a dog leash. Where's the aisle for that?"
"Oh! Let me help you!" the clerk said in full spirit.
They walked to the aisle for a dog leash, but there was something in Alphie's head right now.
'Uwaa, this place is like the torture dungeon in Alphie's kingdom. It's amazing!'
