Taesan’s POV

My beautiful omega is getting more confident and it means the fucking world to me.

I was awake when he left the room. I overheard him talking to himself in the bathroom, and I watched him pull on a pair of sweatpants that hid his ass from me.

Fuck.

I’m getting obsessed, aren’t I?

It’s only sane to be obsessed with someone as beautiful and precious as Seoha. He’s a diamond in the rough...my own diamond in the rough.

"No...no fighting, Haeri-ya" Sooin mutters in her sleep as she rolls to the other edge of the bed.

With a chuckle, I reach out and pull her back, bringing her back to my side and kissing the top of her messy brown hair.

My little girl is growing too fast.

It used to be just me and her against the world and I used to be on edge like a fucking bulldog, always waiting to take a bite at anyone who would dare to come near my precious girl.

But now I can go to sleep right next to her. The quality of my messed-up life is getting better, isn’t it?

’We have Seoha too’ my alpha says, and I hum to myself.

My chest swelling with the pride of what I have. I have an omega who’s too good for me, the smartest little daughter, and two baby boys on the way.

I remember making sure every omega I fucked before Seoha wouldn’t get pregnant. Even in my rut, I did everything to make sure I never had children.

Now, I’m wrapped around the fingers of my beautiful mate like a fucking thread and I’m surrendered to everything he wants.

Everything.

I need to talk to Junho properly about officially stepping down from the mafia. I need to find a new successor, and clear the mess my grandfather has been sitting on for decades.

I sigh and drag my fingers down my face, feeling the rough stubble under my fingers.

Fuck.

I haven’t shaved in a few days. I wonder what Seoha sees when he looks at me. Does he see a man or a beast?

How does he even love someone like me?

I sit up in the bed, swinging my legs to the side and groaning. The pain everywhere else is gone, but my leg, the same one that my grandfather broke, is still hurting.

I stretch my hand to reach for my phone but stop when I remember where it is. That bastard Yechan took it.

I’ll make sure he dies in the most painful way. Not for killing my grandfather, but for daring to come for what’s mine.

I make it to the bathroom to brush my teeth, wash my face and return to bed just before the pain in my leg increases.

Just as soon as I huff and lay in bed again, a loud bang on the door forces me out of the bed.

"Boss?" Yuki’s impatient voice calls as the banging continues and I groan, dragging myself to the door faster.

"What?" I snap, swinging the door open to glare at her and she runs her fingers through her sweat soaked hair.

"Emergency" she says.

"Emergency? What the fuck does that mean?" I growl.

I’m tempted to slam her head against the frame of the open door. Sooin is asleep and shouldn’t be bothered with any of Yuki’s noises.

"It’s Mountain Atelier" she says, bending forward to catch her breath as my face grows steely.

"What happened with my company?" I ask and she shakes her head side to side.

"It’s on fire right now, and Yechan sent a message to our team" she finally spits out and I freeze.

"On fire?" Seoha’s voice asks from behind Yuki and I curse under my breath. I go back into the room to get dressed.

No. No. Fucking no way.

My company can’t be on fire. That place is years of hardwork. Years of my youth. And years of honoring my mother’s death.

"Fuck" I hiss as I kick my leg against a stool.

I ignore the pain and continue to move around, throwing on anything my hand touches and finally picking my cane.

I can’t think properly right now. I need to get out and figure this out.

"Dad?" Sooin’s voice calls and I take a moment to look at her. She’s sitting up and looking at me with curious eyes.

"Dad, are you leaving?" she asks and I curse again quietly.

I was building Mountain Atelier for her. I wanted to give her a future that wasn’t tainted by the rivers of blood on my fucking hands.

"I’ll be back, princess. Look after you Mom for me, okay?" I say and her eyes widen a bit.

She looks scared.

"Dad, where are you going? I want to go with you too" she says, getting off the bed and coming over to hug me.

Seoha is in the room, but he’s not saying anything. Maybe he already knows he can’t stop me.

I’m fucking sick of needing to be helped.

I’ve always done it on my own, and I’ll do it for them now.

"Baby, let go. You need to stay with your mom and your baby brothers, hmm?" I say to her and she shakes her head, holding me even tighter.

I look at Seoha and he drops his eyes.

They’re already wet with tears. Fuck. I hate seeing him cry, and I hate it more when he’s crying because of me.

"Yuki" I call my forgiven assistant and she straightens. She’s still breathing hard from running over here.

"Get me your phone, I’ll need it for communication" I say, and she immediately hands me her phone.

I know my important clan members’ phone numbers by heart.

"Yuki" I say again.

"Yes, boss" she says.

"Look after my family. Don’t let Seoha out of your sight, keep Sooin happy too" I say and Seoha turns his back as he starts to cry silently.

He doesn’t want Sooin to see him crying.

"Princess, go play with Haeri. She wants to see you" I say and Sooin finally lets go of me.

"Come back?" she asks, holding out her small pinkie and I link mine to hers.

I always come back.

Kang Taesan, the mountain tiger, always comes back.

"I will" I say, and she leaves the room.

Yuki looks at Seoha and I before leaving the room to give us space.

"You won’t stay if I asked you, right?" Seoha asks, voice shaky and hands shaking too.

"No."

"We’re getting married tomorrow" he says, trying hard not to sob. But fuck, his brown doe eyes are glassy...I hate it so much.

"I’ll be here for it, Treasure. You and I will get married Seoha, do you believe me?" I ask.

"I’m scared..." he says and I smile.

"I always come back. Don’t I?" I ask and kiss him one more time before leaving him.

I’m going into battle again. And this time, I will fucking end it all. Shin Yechan will regret touching anything with my name attached to it.
