HARRY'S POV

Harry was going insane, an insatiable desire to obliterate everything in his vicinity was taking over him. After abruptly concluding his dinner with Sarah, he dropped her off and then hastily drove back home, where he locked himself within the confines of his room. His alpha instincts were turbulent, and he keenly sensed the sorrow emanating from Louis.

It was as if the happiness he had shared with Louis through their bondmark earlier in the day had been replaced by a deep sadness. Harry couldn't help but infer that the omega might be shedding tears, a distressing thought that gnawed at him. This was an unfamiliar sensation, as he had never before felt Louis's tears, or even if he had it had never been this strong, and it unsettled him greatly.

Confused and at a loss about how to explain things to Louis, Harry grappled with the memory of that pout and the roll of the eyes. Louis Tomlinson's effect on him was baffling. He yearned to meet with Louis, but the question of how remained unanswered. Dropping by Louis's doorstep unannounced was not an option and with Mark Tomlinson's earlier return, it was impossible to catch Louis during their usual meetings. The situation was frustrating, to say the least.

A notification chimed on his phone, intensifying his existing irritation. Harry reluctantly glanced at the screen, noting the sender's name, Niall. He initially contemplated ignoring it.

However, a sudden realization prompted him to reach for his phone, opening the chat with Niall and disregarding the meme Niall had sent his way.

Harry swiftly typed out a request and sent it off.

Harry let out an exasperated sigh before typing,

𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲

Harry clicked on the provided contact ID and composed his message. His wolf's uneasiness made it challenging to find the right words, but he eventually managed to craft a message and pressed the send button.

𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲
𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰, 𝘓𝘰𝘶𝘪𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘚𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦𝘴. 𝘞𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬. (8:09 PM)

As time passed without a reply from Louis, Harry's unease grew, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of guilt. He had made it clear to Louis that he wasn't interested in a serious relationship, so why did he feel so remorseful about being caught with Sarah? Why was he so concerned about Louis being mad at him? He tried to rationalize it, convincing himself that it was just an aversion to hypocrisy. However, deep down, he knew it was more than that.

Suddenly, his phone chimed with a notification, and he practically snapped his neck looking at it.
