Seoha’s POV
The sll that surrounds is unlike anything I’ve experienced before in a long ti now.
It reminds of my life before everything fell apart, happy songs, guitar and rain by the mountain side.
’Seoha-ya, be like the river, don’t withhold, only give’ grandma’s voice says and I kick the rock into the river.
’Mom, don’t tell him things like that, he’ll grow up being like...him’ mom says and I really don’t understand, who is ’him’?
’Like that, there is nothing wrong with being soft and yielding, strong is soft too’ grandma says and pats my head, seven years old and confused, I lean into her gentle hand, I want to be strong too.
’Son, don’t listen to grandma’ mom says and throws a rock from the nearby mountain into the water.
A single tear slides down the side of my face as I wake up with a shudder, I gulp and the action hurts, my throat is dry from hours of crying and begging for the door to be opened.
Begging my...owner to have rcy on .
I can still feel his fingers wrapped around my upper arm as he shoves into his room and slams the door, inviting to see things I don’t want to, encouraging to enter a world I stumbled into by accident.
"What is this...?" I whisper and turn on my side, I am sure I slept on the floor, covered in sweat and my own tears but now I’m in a soft bed.
My oga whines inside and I push him down, I can feel the need to nest calling...but I can’t do that, this isn’t my ho.
I sll milk so close to and I lift my head slightly to find Sooin sleeping with her small mouth open and her cheek pressed into the sheet.
My heart tightens at her sweet little face...what is it about this pup? Why does my oga call for her the way she calls for ?
When I reach out to touch her, I hear a cough and push myself to find Taesan sitting at a table.
The alpha has papers many sheets of paper scattered in front of him and a pen in his hand, he has on glasses that sit on the bridge of his nose with his ssy long hair held back with a band.
’Mine’ my oga whispers and my breath catches...this has to be the pre-heat...isn’t it?
The alpha’s body is bare from shoulder down, displaying deliberate designs of inks intertwining with ink decorating his back, his back is hunched and his leg stretched out.
The shorts he has on show a scar on his powerful thigh, one part of warns to go back to sleep, but my body moves on its own till I am standing behind him and I place my hand on his back.
He grabs my hand and with a growl and quick movents, he pins to the table and cos to stand in-between my legs with two hands above my head.
"What the fuck are you doing, thief?" he asks in a dangerously low voice.
"I- You were coughing" I say breathlessly and he lets go of , he moves a small distance away from but keeps looking down at .
"Get up" he commands, I get up and imdiately wrap my arms around myself, he feels as cold as before, but this ti with a hint of tiredness.
We stand in front of each other for a few seconds and my eyes drift downwards, noticing the scars mixed with the tattoos, the lines of scarred flesh and black ink intermixing makes wonder which ca first.
’Mine’ my oga whispers again and I frown as I turn my head to the side.
Sothing is wrong with , Daeshin is the only alpha we’ve ever committed to.
"You will take your job seriously from tomorrow, what did you see in my room?" he asks and I open my mouth, willing to lie and be given a chance to escape...but what’s left?
I have his black card and he has ...plus, how can I leave Sooin now that I know what she has for a father?
"You’re captain" I whisper.
He moves closer again and his scent, still intense from post-rut wraps around , making shake involuntarily.
"Do you know what that ans?"
"That you kill people" I answer obediently.
He growls at those words, moving forward till I feel the heat of his body seeping through my clothes.
"Yes, I kill people, I can kill you right now" he says and I whimper.
"I could kill you, end your life, waste your blood just for the thrill of it, do you understand?" he asks, voice dropping into a whisper even if it’s just the two of us in the room.
"I’m sorry...please..." I say and he hums; the sound sends vibration through my body and he moves away.
"The only thing stopping is that little girl" he nudges his chin at the bed and I turn to look, with my heart in my throat, he’s a mafia leader, he’s the CEO of a fashion brand and he’s a father.
"You will play your part with us, if Sooin’s heart ever break because of you...Shin Seoha...your existence will be a dream" he says and leaves completely.
He moves around and packs up the papers, I stay frozen, but I hear his movents, he doesn’t touch as he cleans up and takes off the glasses.
I watch his muscular back rippling as he returns to the bed and slides under the blanket, pulling his daughter to himself.
He shuts his eyes for a minute before lifting the blanket, a silent command to return to the bed.
I slide back in, frozen as I lay by them, I can hear his breathing, and it doesn’t even out even after counting to twenty minutes.
"You wake up early tomorrow, work resus" he says and I keep my eyes open, seeing patterns and swirls that are not there.
"You can’t be my weak link" he says and I shut my eyes.
Please, please, just make get out of this alive.
Compared to the other night, with my eyes shut, I fall into sleep easily and by the ti I open my eyes, I feel it...
Slick.
