My parents, immersed in their happy conversation, are oblivious to the steps I take away from them.
My father has an ugly smile on his face and my mother looks the happiest I have seen in a while. Both of them too busy celebrating the successful sell off of their own daughter, the child they birthed and raised, to realize the way I am shaking with anger as I walk away.
I slam the front door of the house shut with enough force to make it known that someone walked out even if I know they still wouldn't care.
I shudder as I step out of the warm house, greeted by a cold gust wind that hits my face, drawing a hiss from me. It is funny how the cold night air is the true representation of what my so-called warm house feels like.
Bracing myself against the cold, I approach the extravagantly designed gates of the mansion, wearing my faux confident and taking fake bold steps. Carefully holding myself up because I know my father's spies has eyes on me.
At the angry sounds of my foot steps, the beta guard that had been dozing off jumps to his feet and bows twice in greeting. I growl at him instead of returning his greeting. A Choi alpha is never to bow, a Choi Alpha is always to be reverenced.
"Open," I say coldly and he rushes to unlock the gates, "young master, would you like a car…?" he asks but I breeze past him in silence, Hwang Jaehyun is still on my mind.
Hwang fucking Jaehyun.
The bastard Alpha that has been fucking with me since I met him that night. I know I have no one to blame for my current state but it hurts that Jaehyun has been toying with me all along.
How dare he smile at me and pretend to care about omegas when he is plotting a marriage to my sister? How dare he kiss me when he knows he is going to ruin me like this?
I would rather have a million knife stabs on my body than a needle prick on my soul.
With each step I take away from my home, the night seems to get colder, even my stiff suit is unable to keep the cold at bay, I look up just in time to see snowflakes falling and I blink as one snowflake lands on my nose. The first snow of the year.
I walk faster till I am sure that I am at a safe distance to take a taxi. One stops in front of me and I slide in with my head bowed to keep my identity hidden. "Where to?" The taxi driver asks and I mumble Jaehyun's address to him.
I sink into the car seat with my hands rested on my legs and my face turned towards the window, and completely choosing to ignore my standoffish posture, the driver begins to chatter endlessly about his day. Talking about the dangers of the mafias and their secret operations.
"Too many killing these days, and the news can't even cover them" he says loudly while I keep my eyes fixed on my hands that are resting on my thighs and my nails that are digging into my thighs.
I need to kill Jaehyun.
"Even the police are helpless, we have court houses and police stations just for designs" the taxi driver rambles on obnoxiously.
Until his blood is flowing down my fingers I won't be satisfied
"That poor omega that was murdered today…" he says, and the words are strong enough to pull me out of my monologue
"What did you say?" I snap, sitting up straight to hear better, the man glances back briefly, surprised by my reaction.
"No one else knows about it but we taxi drivers know everything" the man tsks and I grip his head rest, sitting on the edge of the seat, "repeat what you said the first time" I growl.
"An omega raped and killed, and from what I heard, she is only a child" the driver says, his voice dripping with disgust. "Why…" I wonder out loud, I know what our world is capable of, yet the brutality of it never fails to surprise me.
A child?
"We don't know, but we know there was…" his statement was cut short as two cars that are being driven carelessly suddenly skid to a stop and collides violently in front of us. The impact of the car crash causes chaos to erupt on the road as people either stop to watch or jump out of their vehicles to run.
From one of the wrecked cars, the distance is not even a stone throw away from me, Hwang Jaehyun steps out with a gun in his hand, looking gloriously mad.
I watch transfixed, by his beauty under the moonlight. He has that look on his face- the one I am familiar with. The face of Hwang Jaehyun the Alpha that had been with me in the hotel.
He walks with a limp to the other car and yanks the door open. The man in the car growls at Jaehyun as Jaehyun grabs him by the shoulder. The man who is also injured, fights against Jaehyun's grip and lands a well aimed blow on his face.
Jaehyun's head snaps to the side from the hard force of the blow and blood slides down his chin. The insane looking Alpha uses the back of his hand to wipe off the blood, smearing the blood across his face with a crazed smile on his face. Within me, my Omega stirs from the sight of his blood, intriguing me myself.
My body subconsciously moves closer to the taxi's window to see better.
"You! How did it feel to waste the life of a child" Jaehyun growls and grabs the man by his collars with inhumane strength and pulls him to his chest, "I will waste you next!" The man spits in Jaehyun's face.
"You will be a message to your clan. Tell them, Hwang Jaehyun is mad" Jaehyun says, his voice deep and low, yet somehow in my ears, he sounds loud and powerful.
Jaehyun pushes the man backwards and cocks his gun, "Yah, asshole, you won't need this where you're going to" he says and pulls the trigger of his gun, shooting the man down, two bullets to his crotch and one to the middle of his forehead.
With a loud and agonizing scream, the man drops to the floor, his eyes wide open and his mouth hanging open, dying the death of a man who had lived by the gun.
I watch as blood from his groin and from his head floods the floors, staining the asphalt deep red.
I lift my eyes from the dead man to look at Jaehyun, he still isn't aware of my presence at the scene, he is standing over the dead man's body with his hand stretched- repeatedly shooting the already wasted man.
His chest rises and falls with his barely contained anger. Jaehyun looks beautifully dangerous with gun in hand, blood on his face and a deadly aura.
"Shoot" I hear a male voice say and I whip around to see a masked man with his gun aimed at Jaehyun.
"Hwang Jaehyun!" I shout and jump out of the car to alert him but my moves are too late, the bullet has been fired and Jaehyun has dropped to the floor with a thud- blood gushing out of him.
"Hwang Jaehyun!" My Omega screams through me fiercely.
