I Lost the Leash of the Yandere Male Lead

I focused on the book. 

I could hear my brother’s tongue clicking in distaste behind me, but I pretended not to notice it.

I heard the door shut. Mikhail left the room, and I tried to concentrate on my book, but it didn’t work out.

Then, when I was barely starting to focus, I turned my head toward the tapping sound, and something black was knocking on the window.

Ugh.

I tried to concentrate on the book again without paying attention, but something the shadow kept whacking on the window.

I gave up trying to focus as the noise scratched my nerves.

Fed up, I got up from my seat and went all the way to the window.

What is this? It was a creature that could not be seen clearly on the other side of the glass. Is it even alive?

I opened the window and grabbed it.

Its body was the size of my palm, so I had no difficulty holding it in one hand.

Looking closely, something black was wearing a bird’s skin. It seemed like a bat or not, so it was ambiguous to define it. The eyeballs melted down. It was a grotesque figure in which the bones were twisted.

I’m holding my breath without thinking. The black thing smelled of a decaying carcass. I looked around, wondering from which direction this creature came from.

The dark red beak opened.

“Bad girl! A cold woman! Bastard! You’re a man!”

‘Is that Mikhail?’

“…..”

Mikhail often experimented with dead creatures.

I don’t know what kind of experiment this creature is, but I don’t think it’s a success.

“Mikhail Oravany, can you hear me? Turn this off if you can hear me. Shut up.”

“No! Stupid! Fool! Urchin!”

‘….’.

Mikhail’s experimental creature, like a parrot, constantly repeated abusive language.

Its cacophony made me throw the thing far away with mana.

The last time I looked out the window, there was a sunset. But now there’s darkness without a ray of light enveloping the sky.

I don’t even want to guess how much time has passed.

I’m sure Alastair is gone by now, right?

-He says he won’t go until he sees you.

What Mikhail said kept hovering over my head.

You’re not still waiting, are you?

While wondering, I had an inking that he could very well be waiting.

‘No way.’ I turned to the book…. But I didn’t feel like reading anymore.

My nerves were all over the place. The books couldn’t catch my eye.

In a huff, I shut the book and put it back in the bookcase.

After leaving the study, I naturally walked towards my room.

Suddenly, I stopped.

Just in case….. I’m just a very inquisitive person.

I changed the directions of my steps.

I’ll just take a peek.

I’ll be in my room in no time after checking.

I ran down the hall in haste.

It had been night for a while now.

The cold wind stung my skin through my thin indoor clothes. Due to the chill, I shuddered.

I crossed my arms and sought warmth from rubbing my hands up and down my limbs. I surveyed the scene in the darkness

He would’ve been holding out in the cold wind all this time if he was here……

I saw a man standing.

His cheeks were flushed as if he had been standing for a lengthy duration.

“······Serina.”

It was Alastair.

He smiled brightly at me.

Then he stepped off his seat and strode toward me.

I don’t know what to do.

If I told you to go, you should go. Why did you just stand there foolishly?

I blinked up at him.

I felt a little apprehensive because I had to tilt my head far back to look at his face.

He had been taller than me three years ago, but now he dwarfed his past self.

Once a boy, Alastair is now a man that towers over me, with a bigger head, very expansive shoulders, a thick neck, and a sharp jawline.

His eyes under strong eyebrows were colorfully luminous, containing a striking tenderness.

“It’s getting cold.”

Alastair took off his jacket and covered me.

Yes, it was cold, but who should be taking care of who?

Stunned, I almost frowned in amazement.

“……”

“…..I can’t tell you to go in because of my greed.”

“I told you to go. Why are you out here?”

“Because I want to see you.”

Alastair smiled slyly.

I lifted my hand and carefully swept it over his red-hot face.

Alastair’s eyes opened wide.

How long he stood? His cheeks were icy cold.

I stroked his cheek as if to give him warmth.

“You’ve seen it. Now don’t come again.”

“…….No.”

“Go back. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to deal with you.”

His hand cupped the back of my hand, and he held it against his face, burrowing his cheek against my palm.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Bent over, he raises his eyes and looks at me.

I can’t help but laugh at him being coquettish like a pet cat.

Where on earth did you learn this?

“Do you remember your vow, Serina, that if I proved my worth, you would stay next to me?”

His hopeful confidence shimmered in the dark.
