There was a sea of heads and sweaty bodies pressing together as far as he could crane his neck to see. Oliver suppressed the panic and anxiety of not having his Alpha near him and as he met Lu Yizhou's eyes across the room, he got a stronger urge to cry and beg the Alpha not to leave him alone.
Stop it, Oliver! He chided inwardly. Since when did you get so weak?! For God's sake, this was really unlike himself. Oliver had lived his whole life only with Haga, his nanny, by his side. He was used to being independent, to rely on himself and no one else. So why was he so attached to Lu Yizhou after less than half a year of knowing him? Why was he so against the mere prospect of letting the Alpha out of his sight even if it's only for a few moments? Was it because they were a fated pair?
