Taesan’s POV
Those damn eyes.
The thief’s hands hold on to the loose end of my shirt again despite being roared at, I see it in his eyes that he fears , he’s afraid of but he loves the kids he doesn’t know even more.
A true oga, one willing to die for a harmless pup, one made to love...one that I shouldn’t be claiming the way I am.
"Please..." he whispers, and my eyes roam his features, I’ve seen them before, but now...in silent defiance he looks so fucking...beautiful.
Those wide expressive eyes, his small button-like nose, his perfectly shaped lips...the mouth that is quick to speak without thinking and the tongue that is quick to apologize.
"I’m not going to hurt them" I hear myself telling him, it’s my fucking alpha reassuring him, I don’t know why the relief on the oga’s face matters to , but it does.
Shit.
I wrap my fingers around his skinny wrist and tug it away from my body, he’s doing sothing I hate, he’s pulling in. I can’t tell if it’s intentional or not, but I need him to stop before I’m forced to make him stop.
I make my way into the building with the gun in my hand and the oga follows behind like an angel I never asked for, he is holding on to my shirt again and walking close to .
"Open" I order and the guard opens the gate for to go through, as soon as the gate opens, I am imdiately surrounded by kids.
"Uncle Sannie! Uncle Sannie!" they scream happily as they hug , not caring about the gun in my hand, I call each of their nas one by one and pat each of their heads one after the other.
"Uncle thannie" one of the youngest pups calls and I pick him up,
The oga behind is death silent and stays still without moving away, and my alpha doesn’t push him off like we have done to every other oga.
We just let him hold us like he was made to be next to .
"Hello little one" I say to the boy in my arm, his mother was a victim of my clan’s brutality, she was left pregnant to die alone after days of assault, it kills that I couldn’t save her.
"Uncle thannie, uh-uh- sweet?" he says and I chuckle, "of course" I murmur and pull out the little pack of sweets from my pocket, my daughter loves them and these children do too.
"Mirae" I call and hand it to the oldest pup, the twelve years old beams at and tells the other kids to follow her, "thank you Uncle Sannie!" they say in one happy voice before leaving , laughing and chattering.
"Go on, Mirae has sweets for you" I say to the boy and put him down.
The child hugs my legs before running off on unsteady legs to join the others, his giggles are loud and full of innocence as he tugs on Mirae’s pants to get her attention, the rest of the kids stare with eager eyes as Mirae counts and divides the sweets.
They are only fifteen in number and five of them were brought in by ...from my clan’s basent.
"You can let go" I say to Seoha and the oga puts his hands down slowly, his pheromones express the guilt he’s feeling as he watches the kids say my na among themselves, with their smiles pure and bright.
"I’m sorry, I misunderstood...I judged..." he confesses, still looking at the pups and I take his face in my hand, turning his head towards myself with force, pressing my fingers into the soft skin of his cheeks to pass my ssage.
I’m not a good person.
"Your judgent about is not wrong, I am every bit a monster, one with a heart for a few people" I say and release his face as a caretaker cos towards us, her eyes go from the gun to my face.
It’s my older sister, Taerin.
"Taesan" she greets, and she looks at Seoha briefly before looking at again, "is everything okay?" she asks.
"Junho will be here to take you and the others to a safe place" I say and she frowns with worry, "again?" she asks, tired of being forced to live like nomads in a modern society.
"It’s just for a little while" I say and she sighs, "what’s wrong this ti?" she asks and I wince, "grandfather needs a scapegoat, he’s trying to force the governor to take the fall by...cutting down population" I explain briefly and she sighs.
"It’s us or Sooin, isn’t it?" she whispers, already familiar with the ga, I don’t have to give a verbal response, she knows.
"You need to hurry the fuck up and take the power out of his hand" she hisses and walks back to the main ho, calling out ogas and urging them to get their things and leave the ho.
The noise of two vans driving in alerts that Junho is here.
The beta cos behind the drivers of the vans, Yuki is with the drivers, and she imdiately joins in loading the ogas into the van, the entire place moves with oneness and speed.
"I brought the vans, brought the weapon, anything else sir?" Junho asks as he hands the sheathed sword to .
"That will be all...oh, Junho, take Seoha to my office" I nod at the oga who is still in shock, "yes sir" he says and gestures for the oga to follow him, but Seoha doesn’t move.
"You- w-what are you going to do?" he asks, holding my shirt again, "drag him out of here" I order Junho.
My sister leads all the children to the van for their safety, and in ti with my calculations, I hear the familiar roar of motorcycles engines from a distance, as expected, grandfather is sending his worst n to ’assist’ .
"Hurry" I roar for them to hurry up.
Seoha looks like he doesn’t want to leave but Junho forces him to move, "no...wait..." he whispers as he is dragged away.
I am not good for him, but the n coming will be worse to him, I can’t let him stay.
"I’ll be back in ti to get Sooin" I say, I might, I might not, who knows.
I have free rein to kill as many bastards as I want and no one, no one will fucking question , I pull the sword out of the sheath and wait for the first fly to land.
