Taesan’s POV

I have stood at the grave of hundreds of men.

I am the captain that has decided on how hundreds of men will die.

Without conscience, I have coated the silver blade of my sword with the blood hundreds of men, but nothing prepared me for this.

Why is he this beautiful that it makes my chest feel funny?

The wind blows his hair around, and his wide doe eyes...those eyes that got me in the first place are filled with tears.

Why is my heart aching at the thought of him rejecting me? Why does it feel like I can’t fucking breathe?

"Please" I add and the small man stands on his tiptoes to kiss me on the lips.

I hold him by the waist to make sure he doesn’t fall, to keep him balanced and to hold him to myself.

If this will be the last time I get to hold him like this...fuck, I don’t know what I’ll do, don’t know I’ll kill...

"Yes...I want that" he says and I deepen the kiss, pushing my tongue into his warm mouth, tasting the food he just had and him.

The tears he was trying to hold back slide down his face and mingles with our kiss, adding salt to our union, making it sweeter.

’Mine’ my alpha calls by the title he has been calling him from the start.

He calls him mine while I call him thief, while I call him by his name and while I call him...deer.

Now he is the deer that belongs to the tiger, born to be mine, and I am getting addicted to him beyond the deal...beyond the debt.

I bite down on his bottom lip hard enough to draw blood.

The omega whimpers into my mouth at the bite and I lap up all the blood, wiping it clean with my tongue, feeding my alpha with his blood.

"You-you really want this?" I ask and he nods his head, panting against my lips, and I angle his head to deepen the kiss, feeding him his own taste.

"So beautiful" I whisper, everything about right now is beautiful, the clean smell of the mountain air and the soothing flow of the river.

He pulls me down for a kiss again, whining against my lips for more, and I pull back to look into his face.

His eyes are blue indicating that his omega is here, taking control of the moment and for the first time in my life...I desperately want to mark someone.

I pull him down to the sand, sitting on the floor and making him straddle me.

I don’t know if there are passersby and I don’t fucking care, the omega fits into me like we are puzzles made for each other.

With a possessive growl, I bury my face in his neck, taking a deep breath of his vanilla and he gasps as my nose grazes his scent gland.

"Ahh..." he moans as I do it again and this time, I grab the bottom of his shirt and pull it up, exposing his chest and the marks I left there.

"Seoha" I say his name aimlessly, just wanting to feel it on my tongue.

Seoha...special river.

He moans and grinds down into me, pressing his hard cock into me, and I drop one hand to his hips to help him.

"Right there...let alpha help you" I say and he grunts as his hips rock forward into me, hard and unintentional.

"Want you...here" he says in a high-pitched voice and I look over his shoulder, I am aware that anyone can come here any minute, but I am more willing to give my omega everything.

I pull off his pants with ease and lower my pants enough to give him what he wants.

The omega keeps his face buried in my neck, scenting me all by himself to drunkenness as I guide my rock hard cock into him.

His walls stretch and take me with little resistance and plenty of slick.

We moan at the same time as he sits on me, completely taking my cock into his wet hole like it’s his only fucking purpose.

"Omega" I moan and he stays still on me, barely breathing, just frozen.

"Baby" I call and he whimpers, and when I feel his teeth graze the most important part of me, that’s the moment I realize...

His omega wants to mark me just as much as my alpha wants to mark him.

I grab him by the back of his neck and pull off my neck, cock throbbing and leaking precum inside him.

"There is no going back from this" I warn him and his lips part, they are swollen and slick from being kissed breathless by me.

"I don’t want to go back" he says with certainty in his tone even though his eyes are heavy lidded.

"Good..." I whisper and bare my neck for him, giving access to my scent gland, to the place where he will take and own me.

Kang Taesan, baring his neck for another...laughable, but possible only for Shin Seoha.

"M-me?" he stutters, half scent drunk, and half conscious.

"Mark" I growl the command and he immediately leans in, warm breath heating my neck as he laps at the sensitive skin, the place that will seal our fate.

I fuck my cock into him harder, feeling my knot starting to swell at the press of his teeth into my skin.

This is it...

My grip on his waist tightens and I breath through the pain; it fucking burns hotter than the punishing flames of hell, but it feels too good.

As his teeth fully sink into my neck, I let out a roar of pain and victory, my alpha completely takes over.

I pull him off me by the hair at the back of his head, and with one look at his blue eyes and his bloody lips, I bite into his neck with the savage hunger of a beast.

The sweet warm blood fills my mouth, my eyes roll back in my head, and my knot pops.

Everything feels fast, too fucking hot, too...fuck, the omega passes out and falls on my body.

’One’ my alpha snarls.

’We are one’ he says.
