Chapter 147: Chapter 147
After waiting for a few beats and realizing that Jacques had no intention of opening the door, he called him out. "Are you going in?"
Frankly, Jacques wasn’t sure he wanted to anymore. He had just returned from touring the secret passageway to pick up the things they left behind on their first trip there and he had no idea what to expect when the door was opened. freёweɓnovel.com
It was quiet on the other side which only added to his anxiety, he had been stalling when Errol showed up and now he had to open it.
So he pushed open the door, peeking in with a wince only to relax when he found them all fast asleep. While it could hardly be considered fitful sleep with the positions they were all in, it was a far better alternative to what Jacques had been expecting.
He was more than relieved to find them inside, he had been half expecting to open the door and find out that they had all managed to break out of the dorm room and were currently roaming around.
Errol stepped in after Jacques, a surprised expression on his face as he took in the Alphas scattered around his dorm room. Valentin was curled up on the carpet while Audie was hanging off the joined beds in a way that had to have blood filling his head.
He didn’t see his boyfriend at first and that was because Nael was partially buried in Errol’s half-open wardrobe, it was quite the sight.
"I have several questions," He mumbled, looking at Jacques who just draped the overcoat over Audie without making any move to straighten him up.
"Trust me, you don’t want the answers to them," Jacques said bluntly, dusting his hands. "Alright, my work here is done, see you later, Errol!" He said in a rush, already out the door before the older Alpha could stop him.
Errol stood in a spot for a few long seconds before making a move, maybe Jacques was right and he should just let them sleep whatever they did off. But first...
He went right to Audie first to straighten him up, only for the deeply sleeping Alpha to roll right to the other end of the joined beds and hang off the other side.
Errol blinked in shock at this, stomping around to repeat his actions, planning to stop Audie if he pulled the same move again but the Alpha was too fast. If Errol wasn’t certain that he was asleep, he would think he had woken up.
Tired of running around the bed endlessly, he just pulled him down from the bed to the soft carpeting. There was no way he would be able to give himself a stiff neck on the flat ground.
Errol had planned to take Valentin up to the bed as well but after what he just had to deal with, he decided to leave him on the plush carpet, going instead for his boyfriend.
Pulling Nael’s dead weight from his wardrobe was harder than he expected, it was like the sleepy Alpha was fused to the clothes. He managed to pull him out only to trip and fall backward, Nael coming down with him.
To his relief, his boyfriend’s hazel eyes slowly opened. "Nael?" He frowned when the unmistakable scent of sweet wine washed over him. Was he drunk?
Nael stared blankly down at him like his thoughts were yet to catch up with the rest of him, then he cupped Errol’s face with both hands and squished his cheeks. "Must be hallucinating," He muttered to himself.
Wait, what? - Errol could only watch as Nael took his weight off him and settled on his knees which were placed on either side of his waist.
Errol should probably be worried, he had never seen Nael drunk before so he didn’t know what to expect... but really, it was Nael, he couldn’t be anxious around him even if he tried.
"What are you talking about?" He asked, his voice coming out muffled because Nael was still patting and gently squeezing his face.
"Shh..." Nael hushed him, blinking slowly as he stared intently at Errol, his face mere inches away.
Before Errol could intervene in the situation that was fast leaving his hands, Nael dipped his head and aggressively nuzzled his neck and face, it was like having an excitable dog jump you.
"Na-Nael- wait..." Errol gasped, barely able to get a breath in from how tightly Nael held him. Was his boyfriend always this clingy?
He managed to push him back which was clearly a mistake because Nael zeroed on his lips and swooped down again, claiming them. This time Errol was truly breathless, his head limply hanging down as he tried to will oxygen into his lungs. Nael just went right back to aggressively nuzzling him, unbothered.
That’s it! Errol had to get him to sleep, his skin was going to become a bright pink if he let Nael go on. He somehow managed to break free of Nael’s hold, scrambling backward a bit to reorganize his jumbled thoughts.
He expected Nael to come after him and not at all for his boyfriend to remain on his knees, staring at him with limpid eyes. "Errol?" He called brokenly, sniffing.
Wait- Errol’s mouth dropped open when tears brimmed in Nael’s eyes, he looked truly devastated like he was about to cry. He couldn’t bear to watch him like that for long so he was soon back in Nael’s suffocating hold, tolerating his nuzzling and sounds of happiness.
Errol shook his head fondly - he wasn’t a stuffed toy - but he made no move to leave again.

Alois and Dio left the archery club together, Alois wanted to see Henri and Dio was almost completely certain that he would find his roommate with the Omega Prince so they had the same destination.
"You think the school will let us go hunting if we make a request?" Alois mused.
"Already bored of getting the bullseye with every shot?" Dio noted with amusement, knocking lightly on the door of Henri’s dorm room.
"I just want a moving target."
"Strap an apple to Dom and make him run around," Dio said with a straight face.
Alois fell speechless, he wasn’t sure if the other Alpha was joking or not. "Don’t put ideas in my head."
