Chapter 89: On the verge of... danger.
Taesan’s POV
I force my body to turn around after seeing that fucker lead my omega away.
Nothing has ever made me angrier before...and seeing Seoha being comfortable in his arms...fuck.
Didn’t he ask me to own him? Why is he letting someone else touch him?
My phone buzzes again and Yuki comes to me, dressed for work in black leather bodysuit that is easy to wipe clean.
Her hair is held back with a small rubber band and her gun is by her side.
"Captain, we are ready" she says and I nod.
"Get my car ready" I order and make my way out of the building.
It takes everything in me not to go back that alpha and rip him to shreds. To show his dead body to Seoha and see him purr with satisfaction.
To let Seoha know ’that’s what he gets for touching you, for hurting you, for cheating you and for making you feel less of yourself’.
He will get a mangled body, stolen breath and broken bones.
"Here" Yuki holds out a scent patch to me and I take it out of her hand with annoyance, knowing that I am polluting the air with my pre-rut rage.
"Yuki, stand by me, I might attack senselessly" I say, giving her the right to stop me.
Junho joins us at the parking lot before we leave.
The beta is dressed too, and his hands are in his pockets.
"You’re not coming" I say and slap on the offensive patch over my scent gland, "like hell I’m not, you’re a walking hazard" Junho growls at me.
"Yuki is here" I say offhandedly, rolling up my sleeves enough to comfortably murder.
"Yuki is a woman" Junho responds and Yuki slams the boot of my car shut.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" she asks from behind us, she was at the boot loading backup weapons.
"I mean, Taesan is about to have another rut, which means he is twice as aggressive and twice out of control" my beta says, standing his ground and facing off the woman.
"What does me being a woman have to do with it, I can fucking stop him" Yuki says and I slam my door to shut them up.
"I don’t have the patience to witness this, get in the fucking car Yuki" I say and she hisses at Junho once, before sliding in.
They can fight it out or fuck it out later, right now, I don’t bloody care.
I want to finish up the meeting with my grandfather, come home and find the suitable punishment for that alpha.
"Taesan, if you hurt her..." Junho starts but I don’t give him room to finish, I get into the car and drive off.
"Yuki, what are the possible job offers the lion has for me" I ask the woman sitting in my passenger seat.
"He and the next year presidential candidate are running a deal; grandfather wants to import drugs quietly" she says and waits for my nod before continuing.
"The drugs are for the youths, Ryu Jinpyo intends to capture the attention of the lowlife youths, the drug addicts and the likes.
He wants to buy them with drugs and get them to vote for him, this will make them pressure other youths into doing same" she says.
"A president willing to ruin his country’s youths’ lives just for a four-year tenure" I summarize it and Yuki nods.
Her eyes are cold and deadly, ready to be the killer that she is.
"And why would grandfather need me?" I ask.
"You have a large network of fabric suppliers, tagging along with you will make everything easy" she says and I scoff.
My scent is now controlled but the anger I feel isn’t.
I would never agree to ruining the minds of the young.
So what? He gets their votes, and what next? Parents weep over their children and the police take them away.
"Thank you Yuki, you’re effective as always" I say, huffing as I drift down the last turn to my grandfather’s house.
"My men are closely following, they’ll surround the home once we’re in" she adds and I give a nod.
Once we arrive, I waste no time in going in with my cane in hand, the halls are familiar enough.
"There is my big tiger, mountain Kang!" grandfather greets loudly and I take my seat in front of him, crossing my legs and waiting for him to start.
"No hello grandfather? Is this how this generation do things?" he asks with laughter.
He is dressed in a cozy white pajamas, like a sensible old man, not the terrifying motherfucker he is.
"Why am I here, grandfather?" I ask, cutting the fake formalities.
We share blood and name, nothing else, nothing more.
"Now I would have loved to play along, but I’m running out of patience son, Daeshin did a good job...but you, you might do better" he says.
"What are you talking about?" I ask through my clenched teeth.
"The omega, Shin Seoha" he says the name casually and my blood freezes.
No.
No, no, no fucking way.
He knows about my Seoha?
"Grandfather..." I say in a warning tone and he leans back in his chair, flashing his cane at me, a golden roaring lion.
"Daeshin has been working for me for so long, he dated that naive little thing, got his relatives to sell off his inheritance to me" grandfather says and laughs loudly.
So my grandfather...he has been the one behind Seoha’s pain and abandonment?
"Fate brought the boy back to me, he’s yours isn’t he?" my grandfather asks.
"Grandfather" I call again, claws digging into the white leather chair, tearing into it the way I want to tear his skin off his bones.
"There is just one thing Daeshin couldn’t afford even after I killed his parents" he keeps talking, and leans forward.
He killed Seoha’s parents...of course he did.
"There is an old guitar holds the key to a vault I need" he whispers, eyes shining with greed and I can’t fucking take it anymore.
"Aren’t you satisfied? You have it all! Fuck, you have his parents’ home, cars, lands and company...what more do you want?" I roar, getting up to my feet and panting.
"Captain" Yuki whispers, placing her hands on my shoulder, telling me to hold back.
"Oh I see...is that omega more than what you’re showing?" he asks, his eyes glowing red as he gives me a wicked smile.
"Stay out of my clan business" I snarl.
"Get me that guitar and we’ll see about it, and tell my great grand pup I said hello" he says and I rush at him.
"Captain!" Yuki screams.
"Seoha is orphaned because of you!" I roar in his face, grabbing his collar and shaking him violently.
"Careful son...I still own you and your mother’s clan" he warns, unfazed by my aggression, I see the calculation in his eyes.
"You- just what do you think you are?" I ask, eyes red and skin hot, I want to kill him.
"The world is a stage, all the men and women are actors and me...I am the director" he says and starts laughing like a maniac.
"Captain, please" Yuki says desperately, pulling me off my grandfather.
’If I just...if I just tear his heart out...’ I think to myself, but a logical part of me gives me the answer I need.
His secret works will rain chaos.
I let go of him and let Yuki drag me out...now I really need to kill Daeshin.
