Chapter 80: Ineffable

"What's wrong? Are you hurting somewhere too?" 

No. Jian Yu shook himself awake and smacked both of his cheeks with his palms. Though some dreams should stay dreams, Jian Yu knew it was sick to live in one continuously. 

Zeke blinked in surprise, looking quite dumbfounded when Jian Yu suddenly slapped himself and stood up. With a disgruntled face, the Beta marched towards the door and slid the lock to its place. He then took a few large strides and stood directly in front of where Zeke was resting. 

Rut was easily forgotten when he was in pain or overwhelmed and distracted with many things but now, at this moment, Zeke was once again being reminded he was going into rut very soon and it wouldn't wait any longer. In fact, it seemed to want to arrive earlier.
