Taesan’s POV

My mate is back in my bed. He’s fast asleep and he’s not leaving me.

’Tie him? Chain him?’ my alpha asks, desperately looking for ways to make sure Seoha never leaves us again.

’No, no chains. Omega is pregnant with pup...another mating bite?’ my alpha says and I drop my head to the bed.

Fuck knows how long I’ve been looking at him, but my knees are starting to ache from kneeling for too long.

His body is naked and he looks like art. There’s a bite mark on his shoulder, his chest is rising and falling with each breath he takes. He’s just perfect.

Not touching him is killing me...Seoha feels like water to me. Like if I don’t fucking hold him, I’ll lose him.

I have to have my hand on him; I would go mad if I can’t feel his skin under my palms.

With a hiss, I lift my head and pull myself up to sit on the edge of the bed.

Seoha’s breath stutter as I touch his cheek. Both of his cheeks are flushed pink and are tear stained.

Out of complete adoration, I run my thumb over the round tip of his nose.

This is the mother of my pup...the beautiful omega that owes me a black card debt.

Sooin is the most beautiful child I have ever seen. Our daughter looks so much like Seoha.

They have the same nose, the same hair, the same smile and eyes...would our new pup be the same?

My eyes drop to his bare stomach.

It’s still flat but there’s a little bump that makes my heart clench in a strange way. It feels like falling in love again.

Years ago, I swore that I would never have another child...but now, now I fucking want this more than anything else.

I lean down and press my lips to the very small curve.

"Hello" I whisper, keeping my voice low enough to not wake Seoha up. "I-" my voice cracks, so I clear my throat and try again.

"I’m your dad...I-I am going to be a good father, I swear..." I pause, thinking of what else to say to my pup.

"I’m not a good person, but I’ll try...I’ll cook for your mom and massage his feet...uh..." I pause and rub my face gently into his stomach.

I can hear the moments inside and it feels strange to think of a baby growing inside.

I gave my mate a baby...I made my omega pregnant. Fuck. Now that the fear, anger and worry is over, I only feel pride.

My shoulders relax as I feel Seoha’s soft fingers threading themselves through my hair.

Fuck.

Wasn’t I really to turn the whole city into a blood bath just minutes ago? Look at me, I’m fucking melting under the touch of an omega.

He really does own the button that controls me.

I lift my head and find him looking at me. He’s wearing a small smile on his face, he looks like he’s still sleeping with his eyes open.

"Are you okay?" I ask in a gruff and he nods.

"I like when you touch me like this" he says before turning his face to the side and exhaling.

"I like touching you" I say, still rubbing my face in his stomach like a fucking overgrown dog.

"Does it hurt when I do this?" I ask in a quiet voice, I don’t want to hurt the baby, I would hate to be the reason they are both uncomfortable.

"No...it’s okay, can you...can you come up?" he asks and I obey, I move up to hover over his small body.

"I’m naked and you’re not" he says with a pout and I chuckle.

"I went hours without you, Seoha. I deserve to look at you like this" I tell him as I tuck his hair behind his ear and trace my finger over the small shell.

Today is the first time I’m noticing how small and cute his ears are.

I’ve only known violence and blood...but Seoha makes everything feel cute to me.

"I’d kill to have our pup look like you" I say the thought that has been on my mind and Seoha blushes.

"You’re more handsome" he says and I properly support my weight on my knees, bracketing his legs wih mine.

"Sooin looks like you and she’s the most beautiful girl" I say and Seoha shakes his head.

"Sooinie is perfect because she’s a girl with those features...what if our pup is a boy?"

"I’d kill to see our son look like you" I insist and Seoha tries not to smile. He presses his lips together in an adorable way that makes me want to kiss him breathless.

"He’ll have these eyes and...this mouth and nose and..." Seoha mutters.

"And what’s wrong with that?" I ask, searching his face to see what’s wrong. This man with doe eyes, button nose and the prettiest lips is perfect to me.

"Well...what if the people don’t like it?" Seoha asks.

I see...

"Who didn’t like your features?" I ask while trying to keep my voice less...dark, and still playing with the soft shell of his ear.

I’m not going to growl at my pregnant mate.

"My aunt and my cousins. They said I look weak...that it’s ridiculous for a man" he says as he diverts his eyes and takes the end of my shirt to play with.

Hmm.

His aunt and cousins would be the last blood my sword will taste before I quit the mafia.

No, I’ll start now. Once Seoha is asleep, I’ll find them and finish the job I started with the oldest cousin.

Maybe I’ll cut off their tongues and make them swallow it before killing them.

"You’re the most beautiful, Seoha" I say.

"And if our son looks like you, it would be the best thing in the world" I dip my head to kiss his head.

"What if we have a daughter?" he asks.

"Then I’ll be the proudest girls’ dad in the world" I respond with my heart.
