Black Card Debt: Daddy's Little Thief (Omegaverse bl)-Chapter 36: A tried man

Seoha’s POV

The shadow at the door slips in and shuts the door almost soundlessly.

The thumping noise of heart pounding fills my ears, and I pull Sooin’s sleeping body closer to mine, ready to scream for help and fight whatever that shadow is, and ready to protect the pup.

The shadow walks into the room quietly and as they get close to the room’s window, I relax slightly.

I can now see who it is, it’s the alpha, Taesan has a towel over his head and nothing else but a pair of grey sweatpants sitting on his hips, the dull light of the moon makes the scars littering his skin look deeper and the tattoos look richer.

Carefully detaching myself from Sooin, I push my body up to see what he’s going to do...is it time to deal with me? Is he going to leak the pictures?

Is he working with Daeshin?

Is Daeshin in the mafia too...I stop myself from asking more ridiculous questions...Daeshin can never...right?

I lean on my arm to watch what Taesan would do, but instead of coming to the bed, he goes to the balcony.

The alpha takes the towel off his head and pulls out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket, he leans on the balcony as he lights the cigarette between his lips, using his hand to cup the flame from the night wind.

Gathering confidence, I get out of the bed and move closer to where he stands.

The tall man seems oblivious to my presence as he takes a drag and tilts his head back to release the smoke, the alpha looks dangerously handsome as the breeze musses up his hair and I see the thick line of his neck shows a scar.

I take one step forward and he pulls out a gun immediately.

His movements are so fast that I don’t even know where the gun came from, so fast that my body doesn’t know how to react, so I hold my hands up in surrender.

"I-" I say but stop myself from saying more as he clicks off the safety and tilts his head to the side.

"Hmm?" the alpha asks, puffing smoke in my face, and my eyes widen as the unpleasant substance fills my senses and I turn my head to the side to cough violently.

"Smoking is bad for the health" I say with my hand on my chest and Taesan turns his face to look up at the moon while I struggle to catch my breath.

"You sure have a way of putting yourself in trouble, don’t you, little thief?" he asks and puts down the gun.

I shake my head while I take a forceful gulp of air to clear my system, and the alpha gives me a look of brief concern before looking away.

Once I feel better, I lean on the balcony and Taesan looks at me again fully, "what do you want?" he asks and puts his cigarette down after a drag, and I stare at the way his thick brow furrows when the smoke from his mouth covers face his briefly.

I pay attention to his eyes and I realize...he’s tired.

"Won’t you sleep?" I ask the first thought that comes to my mind and Taesan lets out a laugh that sounds like a scoff, "sleep is an expensive currency in my world" he responds.

"Sleep is for everyone, you should try...you look tired" I say, my voice dropping into softness as I realize the alpha is getting angry at my prying.

His expression darkens for a second before returning to the blankness, "I won’t ask what you want again" he states and I drop my head in silent apology.

"You said we will deal with...my pictures later" I say and he runs his fingers through his hair, and I gulp at the way his forearm bulges and at the way the strands of fine dark hair falls over his forehead.

"You really want to deal with that right now?" he asks and I drop my eyes to my hands without giving an answer.

"Did you pose for those?" he asks and I look up, "no" I whisper in shame.

Pose naked for a picture like that? Yes, I can, but being violated like that...

My throat closes up, thick with emotions and the pain of being used like that...being used for all that I am, while all I did was to give back love.

"No tears, your scent makes me sick" Taesan says and throws his head back, his nostrils expands as he draws in smoke tainted air to calm himself, he swallows once and his adam apple bobs with the action before he brings his head down.

"You are sure you didn’t pose" he says and lets his darkening eyes roam my body, "no, I didn’t" I say, fighting back tears and holding back the strange heat in my body...it’s not heat, it something else.

What is wrong with me?

"And you didn’t know your boyfriend had these?" Taesan asks and I shake my head, lips still trembling.

"Fine, I will deal with that...and the drawing? What about those?" Taesan asks and I feel another wave of bitterness pressing into my chest.

"They’re mine, I did it all...I did it to teach him design and I didn’t know..."

"That’s enough, put yourself together Shin Seoha" Taesan order, his voice sounds lower than it has been all evening and at the tone he used, everything pauses.

The chaos, the guilt, the self-blame...it all pauses and I let out a breath.

"I will handle it myself" he says simply.

"Yes..." I say and my eyes drop to the cigarette between his fingers.

That’s when I realized that the cigarette is burning out slowly and he hasn’t taken another drag since my cough.

"Sooin has nightmares around twelve thirty A.M, you should be with her, she cries herself to sleep if no one helps...can you take care of her?" Taesan asks and I nod, "yes, sir" I say, still relaxed by the influence of his command.

"Good. Good night little deer, go to bed" he says, it’s a curt dismissal and my omega follows through with it.

I bow my head before walking away from him and returning to bed with the pup.

Sooin is already spread out like a starfish on the bed, her one of her legs is on the pillow, half of her other leg is dangling on the edge of the bed, and the side of her cheek is stained with drool.

Carefully, I climb into the bed and pull her to me, and she holds on to my shirt again, happily muttering "daddy".

Through the glass door of the balcony, I see that Taesan has crushed his cigarette to put it off and he has picked up his towel again.

He isn’t angry at me, maybe this won’t be as bad as the beginning was right? It would only get better with time, right?

I drift into sleep and at the sound of the door opening, I open my eyes slightly to see Taesan leaving the room, dressed in all black and...

A sword?
