Chapter 45

Gavin's rut lasted a week.

On the day of the thorough marking, he went into heat twice again, and then the frequency dropped to once a day, until one night seven days later he finally woke up from the chaos. The soreness and hunger finally came back.

He's back to normal.

Omega's estrus period is once a year, and young people will be relatively frequent, but at most it will not exceed twice a year. If you conceive for the first time, the second estrus period will be delayed naturally. In order to avoid the estrus period, some Omegas even prefer to conceive rather than being pressed and fucked on the bed for a whole week.

Gavin sat up with a splitting headache, leaned against the rock and couldn't help retching.

"-Are you okay?" Heinrich came over and wrapped his coat around him, trying to pat him on the back, but Gavin suddenly raised his hand to block him before he could move.

At that moment Gavin turned sideways to him, the moonlight cast an indistinct shadow on his face, neither of them spoke.

After a while, he reluctantly got up, walked not far away while holding onto the rock, sat in the shade and did not move.

This silent refusal was very obvious. Heinrich stood there for a while, then sat down silently and looked at him, unable to tell what expression he had on his face.

The moon has reached the mid-heaven, like a huge sphere that occupies half of the sky. The cold light was penetrating on the wasteland, and there was a faint whistling in the distance. I don't know if it was the sound of the wind blowing across the field or the wolves howling at the moon. Looking at the sky from under the rocky mountain, the Milky Way crosses the night sky like a bright white sky, disappearing into the vast sky in the distance.

They just sat there all night.

Early the next morning, Heinrich went hunting, and when he came back, he brought some gophers and hares, and roasted them by himself, and handed Gavin two fat and tender roasted rabbit legs. Unexpectedly, when Gavin took it, he nodded politely and said, "Thank you."

Heinrich stared at him with cold blue eyes, and suddenly asked after a while, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for taking care of me."

When Gavin said this, he was kind, without the slightest bit of reluctance or embarrassment—Heinrich knew that he had already prepared the psychological construction, and after a night of precipitation, he became the invincible and flawless Celia, physically Marking had no effect on his psyche.

"... I thought you didn't need anyone to take care of you." Heinrich turned his head and looked at the fire with a cold expression.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of accepting your vulnerability and being cared for by others."

"The heat also-"

"It's out of my control."

Gavin gnawed on the rabbit's leg, threw away the branch, and picked a few thorn leaves to wipe his hands. While doing all this, his movements were natural and smooth, with almost no abnormalities, but Heinrich suddenly noticed that his thumbs in both hands were trembling slightly, which could not be seen unless he looked carefully.

Heinrich's heart moved slightly.

"Interesting?" he asked suddenly.

Gavin paused.

"You obviously hate the surface in your heart but pretend to be indifferent, forcing yourself to accept those reasonable and objective views, and you don't even dare to indulge your selfishness. Is this interesting? You have been like this since you were in the league. The standard of Gao Daquan comes from my own requirements, and I can’t wait to reflect on my words and deeds countless times every day... "

Gavin reprimanded: "No such thing! Stop guessing!"

However, Heinrich strode closer, grabbed his hand and raised it in front of him: "What do you want to say? You obviously wanted to tell me to shut up, and you even wanted to slap me on the face, but in the end what you said was Thank you, is it true—do you really think I don't know you at all?"

Gavin's palm was pinched in his hand, his five fingers were trembling uncontrollably, and a few seconds later he punched him brazenly!

With a muffled slap, Heinrich was hit over his head.

There was a palpitating silence in the wilderness. After a while, he slowly pressed his tongue against the bitten place in his mouth.

"Satisfied?" Gavin asked coldly.

"..." Heinrich turned his head slowly, and asked in a low voice for a while, "You haven't liked me since a long time ago, why?"

Gavin avoided answering.

"I'm no worse than anyone else, and I've never disappointed you in anything. Why do you prefer Aaron but never pay me much attention? Consettrin betrayed you, Caroline is a general, why do you treat them like that?" Better than treating me? If I do something wrong, you can just say it. You obviously hate it in your heart but pretend to be selfless on the surface. Do you know how disgusting I am? I don’t want those falsehoods. Do you know the commendations and rewards?"

Gavin was leaning against the rock, and Heinrich was almost in front of him. After a while, he finally couldn't dodge any more, and frowned, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Heinrich stared at him, so close that he could see his own face clearly through Gavin's eyes.

— Trying to hide the face of frustration, embarrassment, unwillingness and disappointment.

"... It's okay," he said hoarsely, "just tell me why you don't like me."

The sky in the wasteland was cloudy, salty water vapor wafted from the wind, and thunderclouds billowed faintly in the distance.

The rainy season is coming.

"I don't know," Gavin was silent for a while, and finally whispered: "But you make me feel threatened."

Heinrich let go of his hand slowly, and took half a step back, all kinds of feelings rushed into his heart, and he didn't know what to say.

It is normal for an Alpha to feel threatened, and the stronger the Alpha, the greater its deterrence, which comes from their natural desire to dominate and protect Omega. In fact, when the Omega Protection Association chooses a mate, this is still an important selection criterion, representing how strong the Alpha itself is and how good its reproductive ability is.

Generally speaking, Alphas will not feel the same-sex deterrence, although Betas will feel it, but their nature will only produce positive reactions such as obedience and admiration. As for Omegas, they usually avoid this kind of breath, but they are attracted to it when they are in heat. For them, it is very stimulating like a hormone.

But Celia is a special case.

Celia is a Beta above Alpha. He has led the army for many years, killing and killing decisively and prohibiting orders. Some character traits have been deeply rooted in his bones, and he is completely immune to Alpha's natural deterrence, and can even overwhelm them in turn. So one day he suddenly met a Heinrich whose ability and quality far exceeded the average Alpha level, and whose deterrence was too strong for people to ignore. His reaction would never be submissive and obedient like an ordinary Beta, but—disgusted.

Heinrich longed for him and couldn't help but want to get close to him, but the closer he got, the more he felt threatened. It's like a fierce lion approaching humans. Even if the lion itself has no malicious intentions, can humans not be afraid

This instinctive resentment has not been forgotten even after he was reincarnated.

For the next two days, Heinrich didn't say anything more. He hunted and cooked every day, looked for water sources, and followed the underground water veins all the way up to find traces of human habitation.

He was not aggressive, and Gavin's attitude eased a lot. He had a low-grade fever for two days after the estrus period, and it was difficult for him to walk. Thanks to Heinrich's careful care, his fever finally subsided on the third day, and his journey speeded up accordingly.

Although their relationship was still a little tense during this period of time, it was not to the point of tit for tat, and they would chat when they were bored on the road. At night, Heinrich slept not far from him, opened his eyes and looked at his silent back under the moonlight, tossing and turning a lot of messy thoughts in his heart: Will he be pregnant

What kind of child will we have, like him or like me

Will he stay after having kids? What if he doesn't want it

Many Alphas will be overwhelmed with protective desires at this time, for fear that their Omega will be wronged in the slightest. Heinrich didn't care much about this, he knew that Celia's abilities far surpassed his own, and how to prevent him from slapping his ass and turning away was the real problem.

Forcing him to stay, house arrest or even detention? No, it's impossible. Celia's identity is too sensitive. If things fail, the political cornerstone of the entire empire will be questioned and shaken. And Heinrich couldn't imagine Celia being imprisoned—he wanted to find him as a spouse, not to force him to be an enemy.

So kindly begging him to stay? Just kidding, Celia has led the army for hundreds of years, is it someone who shakes his will because of a few words from others

Heinrich thought about it, but there was nothing he could do. He pondered over this question every day, and finally even came up with a disheartened idea: Why don't the two of them walk endlessly on the wasteland. If this road never ends, then they will never be separated, right?

—But of course this is Heinrich's delusion, not to mention that Gavin will not allow it, let alone that it is impossible for him to really abandon the empire.

Although the emperor is gone, there is still Aaron, and if Aaron is no longer there, there is Isaac, and if Isaac is no longer there, there is also the Imperial Council; but this huge foundation, which was built by hundreds of millions of soldiers for hundreds of years, will be left behind if the emperor says to leave it. , then he is the number one criminal who has never been seen in the history of the galaxy.

Fate destined Heinrich's delusion to be nothing more than a delusion, but fortunately it did not last long.

After trekking on the wasteland for two weeks, the desert gradually receded, the shrubs increased, and a continuous vegetation began to appear in front of it; after walking upstream along the surface water source for half a day, dense human settlements finally appeared in the distance—it was a small area. towns with size.

Gavin looked at it for a long time, frowned and asked, "Do you think this is still the Gemini galaxy?"

Heinrich hesitated: "Not like."

He supported Gavin and walked towards the city gate. Along the way, he saw only a few pedestrians passing by with their heads bowed, and their clothes were poorly dressed. The domestic airships and shuttles commonly used by the residents of the empire are all gone here. Everyone walks on the bumpy stone road without even talking to each other.

The city gate not far away is just a small two-story building. There is no sentry post at the gate, no customs clearance, and even a minimum fingerprint comparator; several pedestrians just walked in silently with their heads down, and quickly disappeared into the desolate stone. end of the road.

Heinrich and Gavin looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"Go and see?" Heinrich's tone was full of inquiries.

Just as Gavin was about to nod, he suddenly realized why Heinrich hesitated—because he suspected that this was not an empire!

Gavin's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly looked up at Heinrich. The two looked at each other for a long time in front of the city gate, and after a while he nodded and said in a low voice, "—OK."
