LOGINElena Pov
My legs moved at a rapid speed, running through the corridor, moving from one room to another and trying to get to the place where it all began, the big sitting room where my father and I had met Marcus, but I found the room empty. I kept looking around, hoping to find someone I could ask questions, but the house was so silent to the point of being scary. With no other choice, I kept walking and running around. I needed to find my father and also stop him from leaving, and maybe ask him to tell me where I could find him if he insisted on leaving. But as I ran, I felt lost. My heavy eyes were turning red as I stood in the middle of a corridor. My heart couldn’t help but clench in pain as the feeling of loss overwhelmed me, and even though I knew he might not be here anymore, I just wanted to confirm. Just maybe… just maybe, Father wouldn’t leave. I folded my fist, my fingers piercing deeply into my palm, drawing out blood, but I could feel nothing or hear nothing. All that filled my mind was the thought of finding my father. Slowly, I climbed up a stair I had seen while moving around the big empty house. Step by step, I climbed up in hope. Somehow, my chest wouldn’t stop feeling stuffy, making me uncomfortable, but I just didn’t want to think about that right now. One step at a time, I climbed up. “Father, please, don’t leave… I want you to be alright, I want you to be—” “Painful! Ahh…!! Alpha! Urggh!!” Pausing my steps at the sound of a lady’s cries, I tilted my head to the side, my ears and eyes straying to see where the sounds were coming from, but what followed were soft whimpers. My brows unconsciously furrowed into tight knots. Somehow, my chest, which felt stuffy, began to beat fast, so fast that even while trying to control it, it kept losing control. “Urgh…” My lips parted to let out a soft groan. My palm, which I had stained with my blood, moved to press against my chest, and my teary eyes gazed straight at a corner. They pierced through the wall as though it had always been my enemy. Not knowing what came over me, I began to move, abandoning the direction I was heading in to look for my father. Instead, I began moving toward where I suspected the sounds were coming from. The more I walked forward, the louder the sounds became. “Hmph! Yes… yes! I’m yours, Alpha! I’m your slave…!” I paused my footsteps at the declaration of that voice. Something stirred in my brain, and my breathing became heavier. “No… How could it be him?! But… who else would they dare call Alpha in his home if not him? Besides…” My lips wouldn’t stop muttering guesses as my legs continued to walk forward, following the moans of the female I was hearing. My heart continued to beat like a drum as I kept hoping my guesses were wrong, but as I stood in front of the door where the sound slipped out, my eyes went wide in shock. The pheromones that spilled out from the crack of the door attacked me immediately, almost making me fall to the floor. My legs weakened, and only with the support of the wall was I able to hold myself up. So domineering… Closing my eyes to hold back the emotions that were about to pour out, I took another look at the light pink pheromones that seeped out of the door, and it confirmed it— This belonged to only one person, and that was obvious. Only SS+ Rank Alpha Marcus had this scent, which could dominate the whole place. Now I knew why the house was so empty, why I had tried calling the maids but no one had responded. My lips wouldn’t stop trembling, my heart ached, and my body weakened even more uncontrollably. That person should have been me! Marcus is mine! Mine alone! Not knowing where the boldness came from, my hand stretched forward and opened the door. Then my legs wouldn’t listen to my brain as I stepped into the room. I stopped, my eyes struggling to adapt to the darkness in the room, and only when I was ready did I turn to the side, following the sounds that wouldn’t stop and walking toward them like a puppet being controlled by something. And finally… I found who I was looking for, but what I was seeing wasn’t what I had thought I would see, but something even more dangerous, crazier, but… More wild and dazzling. I lost myself looking at the view. *** In the middle of the room lay a black bed, not too wild but rather small, and on it lay a naked omega with her legs spread wide and tied to either side. I let my eyes roam over her body, which was covered in pink bruises. A black piece of cloth covered her eyes, and her wrists, which were tied, kept curling and moving with the sounds of her lips whimpering and moaning in pleasure. My eyes widened as I continued to take in the view in the room. That’s not all… On the other side of the room was a table, and on that table lay different items I really couldn’t see well, but one thing I could see was the large block of ice. And how did I know it was ice? Because a piece of it lay softly in the middle of the folds of the omega, whose legs were shaking, and another one was tied up and kept dripping onto her bruised body from above. What the hell!!! My legs were becoming wobbly as I continued to take in the fuck was going on in the room. My mouth had long dried up, my body had stiffened the moment I walked into the room, and my mind…? It had long gone into a daze. Suddenly, my brows furrowed in confusion. Something was missing… and what I knew was missing was— My body became stiff all of a sudden, my eyes widening in horror and confusion. My heartbeat picked up, and my soul felt like it was about to escape from me. He… he’s here. He’s… My legs weakened, and I found myself slipping to the floor in a daze, but then, I felt it—two hands as cold as ice steadying my hips. With my lips and body trembling, I slowly began to turn around and— Fuck! “Little Elena… What. The. Hell. Are you doing here….?!”Elena Pov“M-Marcus?!”I cried out and tried to push him away, but the grip around my waist tightened even more. He pushed me back, then twirled me around so that I was now facing him.“Uhh— Hmmph!”My eyes were closed, while my two palms were on his naked chest. I couldn’t see him, but my senses sharpened at this point.I could feel his hot breath on my face. My ears twitched at his loud and heavy breathing, the skin on my waist tingled beneath his warm palm. His domineering scent lingered around my nose and filled my senses, making my knees go weak.I gasped, then tried to push him, but he didn’t even budge.The room became silent.Moments passed, then my eyes quivered and slowly opened. I raised my head, and met his eyes.My body stiffened.His eyes were red. They shone even in the dark. He didn’t move or do anything, he just stared at me deeply, like a beast studying its food.I felt chills run down my spine.My brain was running fast. I couldn’t understand what was going on.Was
Elena PovThe car drove speedily through the road, but the silence and tension made me unable to sit still.I kept throwing glances at the person who had come to pick me up, but just like the rest of Marcus’s men, his face didn’t give away anything.I wanted to ask him questions, but the words wouldn’t leave my lips.Finally, I gave up and just tapped my screen, though I didn’t even know what I was doing.What is going on?This was the first time I had received a message like this, and to be honest, I had been scared. I had thought it was a scam message, but something kept eating me up, and I couldn’t even continue the conversation with Sean. I had to excuse myself and rush towards the entrance of the school. And it was only when I saw the familiar car and unique license number that I believed the message had truly come from Marcus’s butler.But… what could be going on?I-Is it Marcus? He couldn’t have been hurt, right?My heart tightened at the thought alone. But then, I shook my hea
Elena PovI laughed out loud hearing the funny joke Sean had just told. I couldn’t hold it back even if I tried to keep my composure.Sean didn’t laugh anymore. Instead, he simply stood there watching me quietly, the smile on his face becoming softer.How could he be so funny?I never knew Fatty Joker—oh, Sean—was this fun when we were in high school. At that time, he had always been silent and kept to himself, but now…My laughter slowly died down as I raised my head only to meet Sean’s deep gaze. He stood in front of me, his face still as sunny and handsome, but his eyes… Why do I feel awkward?He had smiles in his eyes, and meeting his gaze, it was as if I was the only one in his world. Somehow, this made my heart skip a beat. The laughter died down, and the smile on my face stiffened.I quickly looked away, but somehow, I could still feel his eyes on me. A moment later, I couldn’t take it anymore. I let out a cough to break the silence, but when I looked up, Sean’s eyes were stil
Marcus Pov The room became so quiet that I could hear every breath behind me. I slowly raised my hand until my palm rested gently against James’s forehead. His skin felt cold. For a brief moment, I didn’t move. Everyone waited silently. I could feel their eyes on me, but none of them dared speak. I slowly closed my eyes, and a deep breath escaped my lips. Then I loosened the restraint on my energy aura. A soft silver-blue light gathered beneath my palm. At first, it flowed quietly, but within seconds, it became stronger. I could even feel it spread through the room, carrying a pressure that made the air feel heavier. I frowned but still slowly and carefully guided my energy into James’s body little by little, following the connection beneath my hand. The moment it entered him, I felt it. His consciousness was weak… faint, like it could disappear any second. My heart tightened, and my face turned serious. Hold on… Just a little longer. Slowly, I sent another small wave of aura
Marcus Pov I watched as the doctor’s face completely changed. “Move!” His roar echoed through the treatment room. Two nurses immediately sprang into action. One grabbed the emergency tray, while the other adjusted James’s oxygen mask with trembling hands. “Increase the oxygen!” “Yes, Doctor!” The monitor continued to echo through the room. Each sound came farther apart than the last. My eyes remained on the screen, not shifting for even a second. The green line rose… then dropped again. The doctor quickly leaned over James and pressed two fingers against his neck. Suddenly, his breathing became hurried. “He’s fading!” The nurse beside him gasped. “No… his heartbeat is dropping even more!” As the words dropped, coldness spread across my body. The doctor didn’t waste another second. He roared, “Start the rescue!” Immediately, I watched as he climbed onto the bed, then placed both hands firmly on James’s chest. “1… 2… 3….” The doctor’s hands pressed down hard. Then the nur
Marcus Pov The moment I pushed the door open, the smell of blood and medicine rushed into my nose. The private treatment room inside the jet was brightly lit, yet it felt strangely cold. Machines surrounded the bed in the middle of the room, their lights blinking as soft beeping sounds echoed through the room.Two nurses moved around the bed with tense faces, while the doctor who had led me in stood beside them, checking the numbers on the monitor.The moment my eyes fell on the man lying in the bed, my footsteps stopped instantly. For a moment, I simply looked at him.His chest rose and fell so weakly that if I didn’t look carefully, I’d think he had stopped breathing.Without saying a word, I walked over. But the closer I got, the tighter my chest became.My hand reached for the blanket that covered him, and with one pull, I swept it aside. Instantly, James’s face came into view.My fingers froze.His face was so pale that not even a trace of color remained. Dried blood stained one
