Mated to Four Alphas-Chapter 174: Misunderstanding - 23

Silas’s POV

Even when our lips were touching, I still felt kind of strange, like something unusual was happening to my body. And after a second, I parted my lips from Theron.

When I did that, he was looking at me with his mouth wide open, saliva dripping out. His intense gaze told me only one thing—he had lost his mind due to the rut cycle.

But I was in my right mind, so why did I end up kissing him? It felt like I was taking advantage of him.

"Sorry... I’m really sorry, Theron. I shouldn’t have kissed you."

I gave a gentle push on Theron’s chest while turning my head toward the door because I wanted to leave the bathroom now. I was also feeling strange—his pheromones were overwhelming.

His grip tightened on my waist, even with my slightest movement.

"I want you," he whispered into my ear in a husky voice.

I knew that if we really went further, I would regret it. Because right now, we were not in a mutual relationship.

"Theron, we can’t do this yet... You’re not in your right mind, and—"

I was about to say more, but his lips suddenly captured mine without any warning, cutting me off. Before I could do anything, my lips started to feel wet—

Trapped in the warmth of his lips.

At first, he was just pressing his lips against mine, but then his lips started moving, slurping on mine.

"Nnngh~~"

I also wrapped my hands around his neck and started kissing back. I didn’t know a kiss could feel this good—that it could literally melt me in Theron’s arms. Just then, he slid his tongue inside...

"Mmngh~~"

Seriously... "Ughh~~"

I wasn’t ready for a French kiss yet. I didn’t even have experience with normal kissing, and now he was French kissing me. It felt so different.

Before long, the entire bathroom was filled with the sounds of saliva as our tongues lingered against each other, slurping on each other’s lips.

His saliva was flowing into my mouth—it was supposed to feel disgusting, but instead, I felt good. When I slightly opened one eye and glanced at him, both of his eyes were still closed as he was completely lost in kissing me.

And then, he suddenly pulled me, changing our position without breaking the kiss.

Now, he was leaning against the wall while holding me in his arms. His hands were rubbing my back as he kissed me, and as he moved them lower, he touched my butt and squeezed it.

"Mmmm~~"

"Nnngh~~~"

"Hmmngh~~"

He wasn’t even taking a break while kissing me. It became hard for me to breathe, so I tried tapping on his shoulder, but he was so lost in the kiss that he didn’t pay attention. Or maybe it was because of the rut cycle.

But when it really became too hard for me to breathe, I felt like I was going to die from lack of air. That’s why I pinched him hard, and as soon as I did, he broke the kiss.

I gasped for air, breathing heavily. I looked away because, even though he had stopped kissing me, he still hadn’t let go of his grip on me.

I sighed in relief that he at least stopped kissing, but in the next second, he grabbed my neck from behind and started kissing me again.

I tried to push myself back because I didn’t want to kiss anymore—I was still breathing heavily.

But I couldn’t break the kiss because he was pushing me toward him by my neck, not allowing me to pull away. The difference in our strength and body sizes made it clear who was more dominant at that exact moment.

Just then, I heard a sound coming from outside the door. But I couldn’t hear it properly because the sound of his panting echoed in my ears, blocking out everything else and making me focus only on him.

And then, suddenly, the door broke open, and I saw Orian and Meyer.

Orian grabbed me, while Meyer and a doctor restrained Theron. His pheromones were overwhelming just from being in the bathroom alone with me, making it difficult for them to calm him down.

The doctor quickly injected suppressants into his neck, and he passed out right after.

And then, my eyes closed as well.

After a while, when I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on a bed. I quickly sat up, but for some reason, I felt weak, like I was sick. I glanced around—it wasn’t the room where Velric and I had been staying.

And then, I remembered what had happened between me and Theron.

Where am I? And where is Theron?

Did they bring me to another room?

Just then, Orian came out of the bathroom. When he noticed that I was awake, he quickly approached me.

"Silas, how are you feeling now?"

"I’m feeling weak, nothing else. But what about Theron? Is he fine?"

"Don’t worry about him. He’s fine and just resting."

Thank God... Theron was fine.

It was Shine who had gone to Meyer and Orian after realizing that Theron was in his rut cycle and that I had gone to him.

That’s why Meyer quickly called his doctors after hearing the news—because he knew exactly how dangerous an Alpha’s rut cycle could be. And I think I experienced that firsthand today.

Now, they had given suppressants to Theron, and he was resting. He would be fine soon enough. As for me, I had passed out because of the Alpha’s pheromones.

And I think that, after so many years of life, this was the first time I had ever truly felt an Alpha’s pheromones—and that too when he was in a rut. That’s why I was so shocked that I passed out.

I took some rest. Velric was with Shine, and Orian told me not to worry about him at all—they were taking care of him. He also asked if I wanted dinner, but I wasn’t hungry.

And then, I fell asleep.
