Desire Me If You Can-Chapter 31
His colleagues, who had been blankly staring at his back as he quickly left the bar, finally started to say something once Dane had completely disappeared.
“That guy, come to think of it, I haven’t seen him date a girlfriend.”
“Well, those super-alpha guys are like that, but isn’t Dane actually the worse guy? He just got wild for no reason.”
“He just doesn’t want to take responsibility.”
“That’s it, you idiot.”
“Is that how it is?”
Ezra tilted his head as they chatted incoherently.
“Why doesn’t Dane want to date? He does have sex.”
Various words were exchanged.
“Did he get burned badly before?”
“Dean got dumped? By whom?”
“I ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) don’t know, that’s just a guess.”
Of course, the conversation went off track without any conclusion. The atmosphere was heated, and by the time they left the bar, everyone was reeling from drunkenness.

Damn, damn.
Grayson sat leaning against the fire truck, staring into space with a fierce expression. It had been a month since he became a firefighter. In that time, he had slept with every woman in the fire station. He had even had sex with an employee of a company that had been there for firefighting training, but all of them had been empty. None of them had a butterfly-shaped mole on their pelvis.
What the hell was going on?
Grayson rubbed his face with both hands in frustration. Could it be that I was mistaken? Was it not the pheromones but just passing out? Well, it’s hard to meet someone once in your life, so how could you suddenly get hit by an extreme omega twice? If that were true, it would definitely be someone around me, and it didn’t make sense that I couldn’t find them.
In the first place, he didn’t even know why he had been given a pheromone shock.
He had been excited by the belief that he had found his destiny, so he had not thought deeply about it, but now that it had come to this point, regret and reflection followed.
Why on earth? And twice?
If he couldn’t find an answer to this, he couldn’t ignore the conclusion that he had been wrong from the beginning. He had been fooled by that quack fortune teller and had failed again.
Up until now, he would have run away immediately if it was confirmed that he had failed to find his destiny, but this time, he couldn’t do that. He groaned from the depths of his throat as he recalled the promise he had made with Ashley. Because of one mistake, he had wasted a whole year. Could there be another case like this?
“Fuck.”
He was about to swear again like a groan. He stopped in his tracks at the sound of familiar music, took his cell phone out of his pocket, and checked the caller ID. Grayson frowned as soon as he realized who it was, but he didn’t hang up.
“Hey, Stacy. What’s up? I’m done calling.”
He greeted his twin blood relatives, who were born five minutes apart, in a smooth voice, and the other person answered.
- I heard you got a job at the fire department. How’s it going? How’s it going? Any special events?
Stacy had probably waited a month to ask this question since she had heard from her dad that Grayson got a job at the fire department. She must have calculated that it would take this long for something exciting to happen. Grayson answered lightly, his voice unusually excited as if he was expecting it.
“No, I’m sorry, but nothing happened. Everyone said it was the first time it was this peaceful without even a small forest fire.”

Of course, Stacy wasn’t simply curious about whether there was a fire or not, but she should have understood at this level. Stacy grumbled as if she was genuinely disappointed.
- Oh, that’s too bad. Not funny.
She quickly changed her tone to Grayson, who didn’t respond.
- So what are you going to do? Have you found your next partner yet?
Stacy’s voice brightened as if she had regained interest. Of course, there was only one thing she wanted. She wanted to see Grayson fail again and be disappointed. She also expected the abandoned partner to make a fuss, but Grayson’s answer was different from what she had hoped.
“No, not yet.”
- You’re not giving up, are you?
Grayson slowly answered in a voice full of doubt.
“No way, never.”
He repeated Stacy’s words and added calmly.
“I won’t give up. No matter how long it takes, I’ll find you.”
A faint smile appeared on Grayson’s lips.
“My one and only love in the world.”
- I hope you meet soon, and be the first to tell me.
If it were anyone else, it would have been taken as warm encouragement and concern for the future of their blood relatives. However, the other person was Stacy. Grayson could not have been unaware of her intentions, as she was simply waiting for her twin to fail again and cause chaos, but he answered calmly.
“Of course, you’re my other half.”
In fact, since they are Iranian, the word “other half” is not right. However, he shamelessly said something he didn’t mean, and Stacy, knowingly, smiled strangely and accepted the words.
- I love you, Grayson.
“I love you, Stacy.”
They ended the call saying the same thing they didn’t mean, but their true feelings were completely different. Soon, a “thump” sound was heard. Grayson, who confirmed that the call had ended, muttered with a stiff expression.
“What a jerk.”
He cursed, but his mood didn’t improve at all. He roughly ruffled his hair and then sighed.
What should I do now?
I have to stay here for the next year without moving. There has to be a way out of this predicament. Something, something.
“Should I set fire to the fire station?”
He was muttering seriously when he heard a loud bang and turned his head to see Ezra staring at him with a pale face. When their eyes met, he was startled and didn’t know what to do, so he quickly picked up the can he had dropped on the floor and ran away. Grayson, who had been staring at his back, muttered a short curse and turned his head again.
Ezra, who had been thinking that it wasn’t a bad idea and was stroking his chin, hid behind the building and hurriedly ran to the weight room.
“That kid is dangerous.”
Ezra hurriedly returned to the weight room and shouted as soon as he opened the door. The colleagues who were each working out on the exercise equipment looked at him in confusion at the sudden sound. Ezra continued, pointing behind him with a pale face.
“I was just getting my drink when I saw Miller. And guess what he was talking about? He said he was going to set the fire station on fire!”
“What?”
“Really? That crazy guy really?”
Everyone stood up from the equipment with serious faces and stood facing him. Ezra nodded with a pale face and looked around.
“Really? He seemed to be thinking about something with a serious face. That’s what I’m saying. I was so surprised that I couldn’t even ask him what he meant.”
The colleagues looked at each other with bewildered faces. If someone else had said he was going to set the fire, I would have just assumed it was a fit of anger, but Grayson was different. That crazy guy had more than realized it.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Someone asked, but no one answered. Another guy ruffled his hair roughly and spat out nervously.
“Why are you suddenly setting fire to the fire station? Are you crazy?”
“They say that when pheromones build up, your hair gets damaged, you super alphas.”
“You sleep with all the girls here every day, so you’re saying that pheromones have built up? If that’s the case, shouldn’t you just cut off your dick?”
They were all excited and exchanging vicious words. What on earth is wrong with that guy? No one at the fire station had touched Miller since then. Of course, they hadn’t spoken, but Grayson probably didn’t care at all. In short, they had drawn a clear line between each other and ignored each other as if they existed in different worlds.
However, what Grayson had just said was clearly a provocation that crossed the line. He couldn’t just ignore it. He dared to set fire to the fire station that was supposed to stop the fire? No way!
