ALL SPOILERS ARE UNMARKED.


  • Enzy and Solon's relationship in general. They hit it off pretty quickly (and fell in love at first sight), and readers can all agree that these two have the cutest romance arc. Enzy treats Solon like a prince, makes him feel comfortable and his influence even helped make Solon more emotionally open and sweeter.
    • During their first meeting, despite Solon's hostility and suspicion of him, not once Enzy didn't falter in treating him nicely. And the way Solon pulled a classic tsundere move when Enzy left was adorable.
      Solon: (while blushing madly) Why the fuck is my face heating up?
    • Enzy willing helping out Solon during his first werewolf transformation. And when Solon successfully transformed, Enzy yipped with joy and licked his face, then helped Solon walk in his new form. Solon then completely entrusted that Enzy would care for him before letting his werewolf side take control.
      • As they hung out in the forest, Enzy's feelings for Solon grow bigger and bigger, and it's revealed later on that the whole time Enzy had realized that he was completely in love with him.
    • Before he left, Enzy kisses Solon on the cheek, a bold move his brothers congratulated him for. To add extra heartwarming, although Enzy never got to see it, it made Solon for the first time in ages.
    • When Tahel spills the beans that Enzy wants to be mates with him, both of them got embarrassed, even more so when Enzy's brothers teased him over it (because they ship them), and after a little talk (combined with Enzy saying Solon has a pretty smile and Solon awkwardly trying to compliment him back), they both snuggle close near the fire, Holding Hands the whole time. Later, before Solon returns home, although he was more shy than bold about it, he kisses Enzy on the cheek like he did to him in the previous chapter.
    • It's all but said that Solon fell for Enzy because of the werewolf treating him nicely, which Solon muses when he had his own Love Epiphany.
    • Hell, the way they confessed to each other was just so adorable!
    • Enzy later takes him on their first date in the amusement park, doing everything together, all to cheer him up. Later on, they made out on the Ferris wheel until the ride was over. Solon had such a good time he didn't want to leave him, even pouting at the thought. And even though he was extremely pissed at Solon's brothers for everything they did to his boyfriend, he suggested an alliance with them to save him, knowing they'd have a much better chance at doing so together.
    • When he learned that Solon was raped, Enzy didn't hold it against him. Hell, he vows to murder his rapist himself.
    • When Solon doubts that Enzy never actually loved him due to Richard's manipulations, Enzy was quick to shut those bad feelings down, and reaffirmed his love for the hybrid, every little detail about him and all.
      • Earlier, Enzy gives Solon a penguin plushie he eyed on their first date, having stolen it due to the carnival game being rigged. Based on the fact that Solon has been mentioned to carry it around, he deeply treasures the gift.
    • The fact that their relationship evolved into marriage and they're shown to deeply understand each other so well that when Solon impulse-adopted Neoma, he didn't fight him for his recklessness, for he already knew why he did it. On a funnier note, he also lampshaded the irony on how he used to hate vampires when he was younger but is now letting his half-vampire husband drink from his neck for supplements.
  • For how rocky their relationship is here, it's shown that, no, there's still love between Solon and his brothers.
    • Somehow, the fact that everyone (even Jaan!) being overprotective of Solon regarding his love life is sweet in a weird way, even if Solon feels a bit restricted as a result, he does still appreciate it.
    • While his relationship with Jino is just fine, he was genuinely touched that Jino was willing to go out and look for him despite how late it was, even comparing him to either a saint or an angel, and genuinely felt bad that he had to lie to him, but didn't have a choice but to do so anyway. Jino for his part wasn't mad at Solon at all, just worried for his safety.
      • He was surprised when he learned that Jaan, the one he's got the shittiest relationship with, was the one who was the most desperate to find him.
    • Go Big Or Go Home has some moments. Heli had affectionately ruffled his hair, Jino and Shion seemed pretty happy when it seemed like Solon got a Love Letter, and Jakah had actively looked for him and was relieved that he was fine (if a bit unhappy that he might talk about romance).
    • For all the teasing he does to Solon, Shion is notably the only brother who wasn't against Solon dating anyone. If anything, he seems genuinely happy that someone was making Solon happy enough to actually smile. And this was pre-Character Development!
      • There was also a minor moment where he complimented Solon's smile, and Shion not only sounds genuine for the compliment but delighted because someone was making Solon happy.
    • When Solon had a nightmare, Heli immediately came to check on him, and he would've went into Solon's room to comfort him.
    • When Heli, Jaan and Jakah were about to attack Solon following The Reveal of his werewolf heritage, Jino and Shion immediately held them back. After Solon ran off, Noa, who's usually soft-spoken and quiet, actually shouts at them for what they did.
    • It's revealed that before they left for the square date, Jino seemed unsure of leaving him alone because of the day he "disappeared for a jog" (actually his first werewolf transformation). It's nice knowing that someone stopped neglecting Solon before the brothers' Jerkass Realization.
    • While Solon was a bit weirded out upon learning that his youngest brother has romantic feelings for him, he also felt sympathy, and even gave him a little closure.
    • A small moment, but when Solon bitterly called himself a "dog", Heli was seconds away from denying it, feeling awful for comparing him to one previous chapters ago.
      Solon: I mean, dogs like me are supposed to be undyingly loyal to their families, right?
      Heli: [clearly shocked] Sol—
    • In the bonus chapter, the brothers' relationship is notably better. Jakah helps Solon with a panic attack and gifts Solon a puppy named Maka, who's mentioned to look like a dog Solon had before. Jaan also comforts him after learning that he's the grandson of Dardan. Solon in return talks to Sooha for them despite being open about not liking her.
  • The way the werewolves quickly came to adore Solon. Despite the misunderstanding, they shrugged it off, showed sympathy for his situation, and when Solon thanked them for accepting what he is, they gave him some warm words (Tahel even hugged him!) and promised to protect him.
    • The werewolves invited Solon to hang out with them. And he genuinely had fun with them, too! Later, when they stopped to rest, they were amazed whe Solon used his Power Copying ability to light a fire, which made Solon feel flattered enough to smile a little bit.
    • It's quite telling that Khan invites him to the pack despite only knowing him for a few days at most.
    • They're huge shippers for Enzy and Solon, in fact they reacted rather excitedly (especially Tahel) when they learn of their Relationship Upgrade.
    • When Enzy discovers Solon was in trouble, the pack didn't waste a second to look for him.
  • The fact that both the vampires and werewolves agreed to put their pride aside and team up to rescue Solon. Even more so for the vampires, who finally had a way to atone for their actions.
  • Solon meeting his parents for the first time in his dreams was pretty cute. Even if it was brief, Solon at least managed to get a taste of what having his parents in his life would be like.
  • The flashback of baby Solon and his uncle Magnus.
  • Solon reuniting with his uncle Magnus. The moment Magnus identifies Solon, he explodes with joy and engulfs his long-lost nephew in a hug. Seeing Magnus warmly welcome his boyfriend Enzy as family despite having just met the teen werewolf is also pretty adorable.
    Magnus: Please, just call me Uncle. We're kind of like family now. (He wraps his arms around the couple's shoulders) C'mon, let's go to my place.
    • The wolves who defected with Selene were also pretty happy seeing Solon after nearly 18 years.
  • The fact that despite Solon's parents being long gone, the members of Selene's former pack still live with Magnus, probably seeing each other as family. No wonder Apollo and Selene were pretty hopeful of the two species having peace.
  • The main reason why Solon and Enzy adopted Neoma. He had just graduated, is pretty depressed because his brothers went abroad, and the entire pack doesn't really have a lot of money. Yet in spite of that, Solon had immediately decided to take the little girl as his and Enzy's own. Why? The moment he was told of the girl's story and the reputation she had, he realized that it sounded like his childhood, and he wants to spare at least one kid of the life he had, and Enzy, who felt the same (because of his own depressing childhood), agreed.
  • Solon and Enzy just doting on their little girl. Despite the situation, they adjusted to their new roles and by the present day have became Good Parents to her. Just look at this cute drawing of the little family!
    • By the time she's five, Neoma is beloved by her fathers and uncles. The adoration shows when they all willingly participated in a game she made up based on fairy tales, despite some of them hating the costumes and Solon being a bit weak from going a while without drinking blood. Now that's adoration.
