The Emperor's Omega Is An Extra-Chapter 50: Confession and A...

Arren was speechless for a moment as he stared at Spade’s playful smile. Everything had finally made sense to him. This pheromones... was the same as what he smelled in the car. He always thought he was having delusions because of his heat, as the beta’s smell suddenly became appealing to him, almost like that of an alpha.

While everything was hazy at the time, the smell of that pheromone was so strong that it had already registered in his mind. And the pheromones of that night resurfaced as soon as the dominant and musky scent of Spade’s pheromones invaded his nostrils and teasingly intertwined with his.

Arren had always wondered how Spade knew him and had assumed it was because of his case, and he had somehow caught his attention along the way. He knew how he avoided Spade and had never met him, so that’s what happened. He met him that night and was the one who saved him.

Arren was startled out of his thoughts by Spade’s deep voice, which had a coaxing undertone.

"Are you upset... that I didn’t tell you?" Arren’s eyes blinked and met Spade’s amber eyes right away. Arren pursed his lips as they locked eyes.

He wasn’t upset; it was just very unexpected. So the night he broke his vow was the night of his nightmare. Because his life took an unexpected turn, Spade was the one who saved him.

Arren shook his head but remained silent because more of his heart had suddenly experienced that overwhelming sensation. As a result, he was speechless, knowing how terrifying that night had been for him.

"Thank you," Arren expressed his heartfelt gratitude. Even a lump formed in his throat. He looked at Spade, and when he noticed how serious his face had become, he reached out his hand and wiped the corner of Arren’s eyes. He had no idea his eyes had moistened, but he couldn’t stop himself.

It was just... he was that grateful to Spade. If he wasn’t present... Arren closed his eyes unconsciously, forcing himself to stop remembering that night. Arren’s closed eyes immediately opened as he was taken aback when he was suddenly engulfed in an embrace. However, he did not resist and allowed himself to be engulfed in the hug.

Arren leaned into Spade’s chest as the alpha wrapped his arms tightly around him. He closed his eyes again as Spade’s natural scent and pheromones helped him relax. All of his thoughts about that night were washed away as Spade stroked his back and kissed the top of his head. He smiled, they were silent, and yet the atmosphere was especially soothing.

So, this was how to have an alpha to calm your emotions down. Arren had always thought that he didn’t need an alpha and be a slave of his gender, and he realized... having an alpha to become a partner was good too. Even more so if that alpha was Spade.

They remained that way for a few minutes, their embrace becoming even warmer as time passed. Spade’s pheromones lingered in the air, and at some point, Arren’s pheromones too, escaped from his scent blocker as their pheromones met and mixed in the air.

The combination of their pheromones caused an unexplainable sensation in his heart. So it wasn’t a lie; if an alpha and omega were extremely compatible with each other, their pheromones would mix so well together that it would seem like it was destined.

"What are we?" Arren blurted out of nowhere, breaking their silence. He knew they were something, but he wasn’t sure if they needed a label yet. Arren had no prior experience with dating or being in a relationship. It was something new to him.

"What do you want us to be?" Spade asked almost immediately. His deep voice was gentle as if he truly left the decision to Arren.

Arren drew back slightly in their embrace, his arms still around Spade. He raised his head and met Spade’s amber eyes, his lips curving gently. Arren raised an eyebrow at him, prompting the alpha to chuckle as he reached out his right hand and caressed Arren’s cheek.

"To be honest, having a mate and an heir was one thing that I needed—perhaps not a mate but an heir," Spade began, his amber eyes never leaving Arren’s face for a second. Arren fell silent and listened intently to Spade.

His arms around the alpha tightened, and Spade gave him a small smile before he continued. His deep voice, despite its soft tone, echoed throughout the entire room.

"I am aware of my responsibilities, and producing an heir for the Empire is one of them. Over the years, there were plenty of omegas offered to me. The voices that were petitioning that I must proclaim an Empress and a mate had increased in the past years." His other hand tightened around Arren and traced Arren’s jaw.

Arren remained silent and only listened to him.

"However, I didn’t want anyone to get a hold of something against me. I’d rather not have a mate and an Empress for years than someone who is only there to keep an eye on me. I don’t want a partner who is only a responsibility for me." His tone of voice became even lower, Spade paused, and his gaze became deep. Arren’s heartbeat skipped a beat as he sensed a shift in the air.

Nonetheless, despite this, he chose to remain silent. Only waiting for Spade to continue.

Spade continued on, his gaze fixed on him. "I thought I’d never find someone to be my omega. Having a mate had never occurred to me, but then..." A smile formed on his lips.

Arren’s heartbeats accelerated even more as his cheeks flushed. He had an inkling of what Spade was about to say next.

"You met me?" Arren blurted out; he was too immersed in it as he had already finished it for Spade, assuming it was really right. As the embarrassment set in, he almost buried his face in Spade’s chest.

Spade laughed softly and stroked Arren’s cheeks. He didn’t let Arren hide from him. Arren pouted; he was so into it that even his mind couldn’t stop his mouth.

"I met you. I didn’t actually expect that it would only take a moment for your existence to be etched in my system. I... I wasn’t a fan of love at first sight." Spade chuckled as he shook his head, "I don’t know, your pheromones, your personality, everything about you... I craved for it. Arren... I really like you," he confessed as his deep voice reverberated.

Arren bit his lower lip as his ears heated up, trying not to squeal. It wasn’t his first time hearing a confession. Even Spade had somehow already confessed to him in their mansion when he visited last time.

However, this time it appeared to be a confession, and the atmosphere and mood were so intense that Arren now realized Spade genuinely liked him!

Because his mind was still processing Spade’s confession, Arren did not respond.

"You don’t need to think too much. You can take your time," the alpha continued.

When Arren came back to reality, the first thing he did was laugh. His laughter echoed to the room, then he stopped, and his wide grin was plastered on his face. Arren’s eyes lit up, he was never easily bashful and was pretty much an open book.

He tightened his grip on Spade and said, "I like you too, Spade," with a grin on his face. Arren’s tone was serious, with no playful undertones. In fact, Arren liked Spade to the point that he could even allow himself to be immersed in the storm and accept everything as his reality.

Spade remained motionless as his arms tightened around him, drawing Arren closer to him. Their chests were pressed even closer together, their breaths touched, and their pheromones intertwined even more.

The air around them suddenly shifted again, and the temperature in the room rose. It was more than just the ambiguity that always surrounded them; this time, it was more intense, as if the feelings within could no longer be suppressed.

Their gazes locked, Spade’s amber pupils darkened as he lowered his head, and their foreheads touched. Arren unconsciously clutched Spade’s clothes as his heartbeat skipped even faster as if they were trying to escape his chest.

He could finally understand why falling in love had been impossible for him in his previous life. If he was still in his previous body and in his current condition, this type of heartbeat would have been enough to cause him to have another heart attack.

"Arren... I hope you’re serious because I’m not going to let you take that back." Spade’s deep voice was lower this time, his amber pupils staring at him. His fingers were now caressing and playing on Arren’s chin.

Arren’s lips curled up in response. "I don’t have any intention of taking that back in the first place," he replied, his sweet tone ringing in Spade’s ears as his pupils constricted even more. Arren only laughed at this, satisfied with his effect on the alpha.

Spade chuckled lowly and closed the gap between their faces once more.

"Can I kiss you?" his voice was now slightly hoarse as he asked Arren.

Arren’s playful smile faded as his ears reddened. He pursed his lips and slowly nodded. He even averted his gaze from Spade, causing the alpha’s smile to widen as the amusement in his eyes became obvious.

Arren’s chin was slightly lifted by Spade’s fingers, forcing him to return his gaze to the alpha. Their gazes were locked once more.

"You don’t have to be embarrassed, I just wanted to let you know... it will be my first kiss," Spade said as the alpha finally closed their distance and pressed their lips together.

Arren’s eyes widened in surprise, but he eventually closed them and let himself be drowned by his first kiss. Their lips were only pressed together for a few seconds, and it was also kind of clumsy as they both only tasted each other.

It wasn’t anything desire-inducing; their lips were together as if to give each other warmth and as if they both only wanted their emotions to be transferred to each other through their mouths. It was a soft and chaste kiss, but it was filled with emotion. As if it were a symbol to confirm their feelings and relationship.

The kiss lasted about twenty seconds before their lips parted. Their lips glistened, forehead still pressed against each other. Arren breathed; the sensation of his first kiss still lingered in his mouth, and even the flushed cheeks were evidence of what had happened. free𝑤ebnovel.com

He looked into Spade’s amber eyes, which were also looking at him, and their eyes spoke to each other.

"That was also my first kiss," Arren informed Spade, his tone a little hoarse due to their kiss.

Spade’s eyes brightened as he laughed. Joy was written on his face as he embraced Arren.
