Seoha’s POV
I wake up to the sll of sothing my oga has always craved.
Ho.
Vanilla, soft milk and peaceful mountain air.
A warm and sturdy body is pressed up to mine, and even though I know who it is, my body relaxes further into his chest.
His heavy hand is resting on my waist as if it’s there to keep in place and my oga purrs at his scent, the alpha slls the most relaxed I have ever slled him, like he is really sleeping.
My purr grows louder and my eyes widen as it fully dawns on that my oga is classifying the man I stole from as our...alpha?
No...no...no, this is bad, he might wake up and accuse of trying to do sothing.
I sit up abruptly to get out when I see that Sooin is not in bed with us, then I hear her loud crying and with a gasp, I jump out of the bed and run out of the room.
"Sooin? Sooin-ah!" I call loudly as I walk down the hall, looking for the pup as if she’s really mine and I find her with a maid, and without thinking I run to them and scoop her up in my arms.
"Is everything okay?" I ask.
"She’s fine, she’s just being a brat" the frustrated maid says and Sooin clings to , wrapping her arms around my neck, "I want my daddy’s breakfast!" she sobs as she hides her face in my neck.
"Let’s go!" the maid hisses and pulls on Sooin’s arm.
The action makes growl and bare my teeth at her, "what are you? Yah! Sooin-ah this thing isn’t your daddy" the maid says angrily and snarls at as she attempts to pull the girl again, and I turn my back to protect Sooin.
The maid’s fingernail drags across the soft skin of my nape, and I gasp as pain spreads through , and I feel blood trickling out.
"That’s enough" a lazy female voice says and the woman I saw that day in the kitchen, Choyeon, cos out slowly.
"Sooin, get down, you’re not a baby anymore" she says in a cold voice.
"Daddy" the pup sobs into my neck and my heart tightens.
"Sooin-ah" Choyeon calls in a stronger voice, and I hold the child tighter in response to her reaction, growling at the woman.
"The oga is...daring ?" she asks and the corner of her lips lift in a beautiful but deathly chilling smile.
"You don’t even know and you’re already crossing ?" she asks.
"The child just wants to eat" I say in a timid voice
"That child is my blood cousin’s pup...put her down" she orders while glaring at and my oga whimpers at the intensity of her glare.
The weight of her authority almost forces into obedience, my oga fights back and before I would give in, the door opens and Taesan steps out.
"Minsu! What did I say about making Sooin cry?" Choyeon says, facing the maid and my eyes widen at the sudden change in atmosphere...what?
The alpha looks rested as he observes us with those dark eyes, "Choyeon" he says in greeting in a deep morning voice and in an instant, Choyeon’s glare changes into a smile, "Taesan-ah, long ti no see" she says and smoothes her dress over her hips.
What?
"Hmm, Seoha, kitchen now" Taesan says to and turns his back to leave but he pauses.
His eyes zeros on his pup whose face is still hidden in my neck, "fire her before I have to handle it myself" he says to Choyeon before finally leaving, going back into the room.
Choyeon’s attention returns to , eyes turning icy the mont Taesan is gone, she takes a step towards and looks in the eye "I’ll handle you myself, oga" she says to before walking away with her maid.
With them gone, I rub my hand up and down Sooin’s back as she sniffles.
"It’s okay, they’re gone now" I whisper but she doesn’t move, it’s almost as if she is frozen with fear, like she’s no longer aware of her surroundings.
I carry her into the kitchen and place her on the seat, she doesn’t let go for a second, but I carefully make her release before holding her face in my hands.
"Are you okay pup?" I ask quietly and she nods, nose running from crying so much, "do you want to scent ?" I ask and she nods again, I lean in and rub my nose against hers, introducing my scent to her.
"I’m scared, everyone hates " she whispers and I pull back.
"Baby, no one hates you" I say with a frown, "it’s impossible to hate you" I say and she sniffles, the little sound breaks my heart and I kiss her cheek, "really? She asks and I nod, "yes, you are the sweetest most beautiful pup in the world" I say.
"Should I cook sothing delicious?" I coo and she nods.
I check her face once more before going to the pantry and to the fridge to see what is available.
I get myself occupied with cooking while worrying again about too many things; my forr alpha exploiting , my oga submitting to an unfamiliar alpha, my strange feelings towards Taesan, Sooin’s heart, Choyeon...
The simple breakfast is ready and when I turn, I find Sooin sitting in Taesan’s lap, the alpha is dressed in suit with his hair pulled back and is talking in soft murmurs with the girl.
He looks painfully soft, rested and...aware.
"She did that to you?" he asks and I blink in confusion, there are two bowls of juk in my hand as I approach the table, "yes, Minsu-ssi hurt daddy" Sooin answers for and that’s when I rember the scratch.
"It doesn’t matter" I say quietly, "it was a mistake" I lie as I place both plates in front of Taesan and the alpha gives a questioning look.
"I thought...I’ve never seen you eat..." I whisper and drop my eyes from his face to the al I made for him, "dad! I want you and daddy to take to school and- and I want you and daddy to eat and after that, I want us to be happy forever" Sooin says as she gets out of her father’s lap to sit in her chair.
I slowly lift my eyes and find Taesan still looking at .
"Whatever you want princess" he replies to his daughter before getting up, "sit" he says to and I sit down in the chair he was in...it feels strange.
He leaves for a few seconds before returning with a box, he wordlessly bows my head before tending to the wound at the back of my neck, cleaning up the blood and applying ointnt.
His gentle touch contrasts every ti he has ever looked at , and the blood he cleans up wipes out every ti he has caused to bleed in my heart.
I’m ruined...
