“Waiting for what?”
Xander’s expression was one of confusion.

My heart was pounding at a rate of 180 beats per minute, already affecting my ability to think and speak coherently
I was afraid that if I didn’t say it now, something might happen later, leading to endless trouble.
I was also afraid that my roundabout way of expressing myself would be misunderstood. I decided to use the simplest and clearest way possible.
I took a deep, silent breath, then another.
……Can I… not take responsibility? Not be your partner?”
Xander’s eyes narrowed slightly.
His wolf gritted teeth and was at a loss how to respond, “WHO SAID THIS OMEGA WAS TIMID? SHE WAS BOLDER THAN THE GODDESS!”
After I spoke, he didn’t say a word, silently looking at me for a long time, so long that it felt like a century had passed, and we were bout to grow mushrooms!
Okay.”
Finally, Xander spoke, and he nodded seriously.”Sophia, do it in a way that makes you feel at ease.”
was astonished.
The werewolf in front of me was so easy to talk to. I began to suspect this was a fake Xander.
had wanted to expect a sarcastic retort, followed by him tossing/me to the ground and leaving without looking back.
t would have been most appropriate for him to stop this budding romance; he wouldn’t bother me tomorrow.
……. You agree? Really?”
Really.” Xander nodded seriously again.
He carried me into the room; the motion-sensor lights turned on, and the dark room was instantly enveloped in a dim, hazy light.
He didn’t carry me to the bed.
nstead, he held me and sat on a comfortable, spacious leather chair by the window, letting me sit side was on his lap.
He spoke to me earnestly, “I understand Sophia’s anxieties. I respect your thoughts and am willing to cooperate with them. I won’t orce you in any aspects.”
My wolf complained silently, “…BUT I THINK YOUR THOUGHTS ARE WRONG, AND WE SITTING ON YOUR LAP IS ALSO WRONG! WE ARE SO WRONG!”
But he was so gentle and reasonable, how could I object?
Thank you, thank you for understanding.”
Xander smiled. “I respect you, I understand you, so shouldn’t Sophia also respect my thoughts?”
When he smiled, his peach blossom eyes were like stars, making people even more muddled.
My inner ten-level anti-pit system was somewhat paralyzed.
I picked up his words, “Your thoughts?”
“Yes, Sophia has her own thoughts, and I have my own thoughts. That’s fair, right?”

Right
“Sophia doesn’t want to take responsibility, that’s fine. but my life philosophy is that I need to take responsibility for the one I like, and that’s not wrong, is it?
I took a breath.
My wolf alerted me immedaitely, “NO, WAIT! THIS ISN’T RIGHT! WE CAN’T TALK LIKE THIS! HE’S SETTING US UP!*
Seeing my anxiety, Xander stroked my back. “Don’t be nervous, I don’t mean to deceive you, and I won’t force you. Listen to me, you mave plenty of time to consider.”
Knowing his nature, knowing I shouldn’t listen, I said,”….Say it.”
I need a girlfriend to stabilize my parents’ emotions. Because of my life philosophy, I’m aiming for long term bonding; I nced to tell ou this first. But I won’t force you to be the same as me.
f you don’t want to take responsibility, that’s okay. The final decision is in your hands; you can change your mind anytime. Let’s ollow our own thoughts.
How does that sound?”
His tone was slow, gentle, rational, and restrained.
