Chapter Two

"And here is your room, you're sharing it with our commander Nikoli because we don't have enough space now," Mars smiled at Lex, his eyes curved into crescents, taking Lex's breath away.

"Of course, if you want to, I can always room with you." Mars added, grabbing Lex's hand.

Flustered by the sudden touch and offer, Lex blushed, "Its no need really, I'm totally fine sleeping here haha..." Lex pulled his hand away, avoiding eye contact.

This made Mars very angry, in his heart, he was cursing at the two dense men. "What is wrong with alphas these days, so shy and quiet. Can't even start a love triangle drama because these men are all too weak."

The weak dense alphas, "... Its called being a gentleman."

After that, Mars left Lex alone to settle down.

Looking around, Lex noticed that the room was really clean and tidy. This made his impression of the commander a bit higher. Lex had always appreciated a clean room,but unfortunately, he lives with complete animals in his college dorms.

Meanwhile, Nikoli who just finished his meeting, saw Mars outside. He immediately smiled, the frosty aura melting away as he approaches Mars.

"Who was the new guy just now Mars?" Nikoli asked while smiling, but anyone could see the faint jealously seeping though. (A/N:My heart hurts writing this, I just hate when ML or MC interacts and gets jealous bcs of Mars, why am I doing this to myself ಥ_ಥ)

Mars smiled innocently," Oh, he's Lex. He's really nice and a great leader I heard, I like him a lot. I think you guys would get along too."

Nikoli's eyes flashed, they're definitely going to get along very well.

Mars also knew there was no way for them to get along, it was his idea to let the jealously sprout anyways. Or else who would but him gifts now?

But the jealously isn't the only thing that made Nikoli want to compete with Lex, its also the pride that alphas have.

For a leader like Nikoli, Mars complimenting Lex was like Lex was better than him, so he would naturally prove him wrong.

While Nikoli was busy eating vinegar, Lex had already settled in, unpacked and slept comfortably on his bed.

Even though the scent of other alphas are supposed to be repulsing, this one surprisingly isn't, so Lex wasn't uncomfortable.

When Nikoli returned to the camp, he was first surprised to see that the man who was with Mars was actually his new roommate. And then, he wanted to declare his love for Mars and Lex can't get between them, but looking at the soft and relaxed face, completely unguarded, sleeping soundly, Nikoli felt that the idea was childish and didn't so it.

"Hmph, I won't even bother with him, not a threat at all." Nikoli washed up and went to bed, the uneventful day passed peacefully.
