The Alpha's Baby Momma

10| Scars and bullet holes

I watch as Min Ho laughs at something Jordan said,kicking his leg out,both their eyes widening as the couch tilts backwards and falls,I laugh to myself,putting the last of his new clothes on the hangers before fluffing his pillows.

Jaehyun pushes Eros into the wall angrily,whisper yelling something that makes Eros turn red before huffing,shaking his head as he goes up the stairs. I'd never been up there,I realised with a grimace. I didn't know what they were fighting over,but whatever it was had Jaehyun breathing heavily as his eyes locked with my own panicked ones,and I tried to hide my panic with a smile. "Don't worry,it's nothing. Come eat," he says as he grabs my hand,pulling me along.

I walked into the room while Jordan was changing,and nothing could've prepared me for what I saw on my brother's back- one was the scar he got from the shoot out,the skin there darker and thicker than the surface and the others,Lord have mercy. It looked like he had been whipped for years,the scars jagged and scary,scattered ruthlessly across his back,and when his muscles constricted,the scar tissue seemed to stand on its own-
I gasped,and he held his shirt to his chest protectively as he turned to look at me with teary eyes.
"W-what happened?"
"I... I don't wanna talk about it." I nodded,moving closer to him,pulling him in for a hug and saying softly, "will you atleast let me apply ointment to these red ones?" I made quick work of applying the green paste Jaehyun applied to his own wounds,wincing as he drew in a shaky breath and shook his head like he was shaking the pain away. "I'm sorry,I'll be done in a second" he shook his head with a light laugh,
"Nothing I haven't felt before,we good," I nodded,watching him put on the grey oversized batman shirt,
"He still your favourite superhero?"
He laughed lightly,throwing a comb at me as he sat on the floor between my legs,laying his head on my thigh-a silent request to do his hair.
"I'm 16 now sis,I don't have a favourite superhero anymore,that's wack." I mushed his head with a scoff,taking the knots out of his tips with my shaky fingers, I hadn't done this in a while. "Mmmhm,you're bullshitting cause I'm 23 and my favourite superhero is Spiderman. Miles Morales spiderman, you know the black one with dry lips-"
"I know who Miles Morales is,pssh they did my brutha dirty on that one! Like give the boy some chapstick a sumn!...so,you ended up finishing school?"
"Uhm yeah,I got a job at a children's Hospital in Queens,so I lived there for a while. Had my own apartment and errthang,and I could volunteer at an old age home on weekends,so that was fun. I actually just moved here,like 5 months ago,when my PI said they were transferring you to St Mary's...thank goodness though,cause this is where I met Jaehyun. He's amazing." I gushed dreamily,mind reflecting to this morning when he fell asleep with his head in the dip of my neck.
"Oh yeah?"
"Hmm,he's kind. Like I know it's only been 4 months,but he's everything I've ever wanted in a man,he takes care of me,he cares for me,he makes sure I'm straight even when he's angry. Like yesterday?he knew I wasn't okay so he just held me in my sleep even though he was mad,and he woke up when I did so he could make sure I was straight. And the way he loves me,mhmm boy lemme-" he shook his head from my grasp,putting his hands over his ears as he blabbered, "I don't wanna know nun bout your sex life! nun,zilch,nadaaaaa" I hit the back of his head with a cushion,laughing with my head thrown back,I couldn't believe this boy's mind!
"Fuck you cause you know I wasn't boutta talk about that!" He snickered as he brought his hands down and folded his arms over his chest,looking at me like he was tryna figure sum out,
"What?"
"Nun,I'm just wondering if you're safe-and if he'a keep that baby safe," I looked at him,confused by his worries,safety? I thought Jaehyun having so many guards around the estate would make that worry an impossibility.
"Our safety?"
"C'mon,don't act like you don't notice that nigga going out for hushed calls in the hallways,or the cars he owns...I ain't been here for a day,but even I know it's impossible to drive so many expensive cars without a side hustle,those buildings ain't his only source of incomes," He gestured to the car parked beside his bedroom window,and my mind went cripple at the thought. "Side hustle?"
"Ye,like drugs a sum. Why you even living wit him anyway? You safe here?"
"Yeah,I am. He actually saved me from a wo-an attack. This crazy man just burst into my apartment and started hitting me and shooting at things,Jaehyun bustled in right as he was about to shoot me in the neck," I retold,the dead black eyes of the wolf flashing briefly before my own before I stood and made to stand by the door.
"Ahh,the knight in shining armour. And you don't find it even slightly sus that the nigga snatched you from the wolf's mouth?" I shook my head sadly,too ashamed to look into his eyes as I thought about it- Mica had the exact same suspicion,how do I know she's not right now that even Jordan thinks the attack was staged?
I shook my head,the thought clearing from my mind, I shouldn't doubt Jaehyun,he's my guy, I'm sure he wouldn't go to that extent to get me- would he? Jordan hummed as he hopped into bed, "well,imma let you get to prince charming,I got plans with Min Ho tomorrow,g'night." I nodded,turning the lights off before walking back to my own dark room- I had to change the paint in there,ain't no way my babies finna sleep in a black room. I squeaked as I met white eyes staring intently at me when I walked in,holding onto the door handle for support,
"You scared me,"
"I'm sorry,I couldn't sleep. Is he alright? You could go sleep in his bedroom tonight if you want to." He offered,standing up to take off his pants and get in bed. I shook my head,hopping into bed beside him, "nah,it's okay. I wanna sleep here,with you." He hummed as he brushed my tummy,
"I can't wait for the next five months to be over so I can meet them," I gushed,eliciting a light chuckle from him, "they're gonna be perfect,trust me. You're gonna have to wait longer though,"
"How far do you think I am? it only takes nine months Jae,read a book."
"Seo Yeon didn't tell you? It takes a shewolf 6 months to carry a litter of pups to term,but it takes a human 12 months to carry one pup to term,weird if you ask me," I groaned as I thought about my clothes not fitting for so many months,I missed my yoga pants.
"What! And you guys just get to go around boasting for all that time? It's not fair that you can take drugs and get drunk but I can't," I complained,turning around to stare him down when he surprise me and planted a kiss on my nose,
"You're cute...but if it makes you feel better,I won't drink until our pup is 6 months of age," he declared,making the butterflies in my stomach flutter as my cheeks flushed,I wasn't expecting that.
His breathing slowly evened out as his hand stopped caressing me and he nestled his leg between my thighs- we had weird sleeping positions,but they worked.
