"Lu Han!" a frantic female voice startles the alpha in question. "Why are you holding sharp objects?!"

Lu Han pauses on sharpening his small dagger and turns to the direction of the voice, eyes wide as he watches her running towards him. "Wh-Why?"

The woman, Minseok's mother, then grabs the weapon out of his hold, eventually cutting on the skin between his two fingers.

"Ah—" Lu Han gasps, frowning at the sight of blood and just then sensing the sharp pain. He raises his hand up his mouth to suck blood out mindlessly, but his wrist is harshly pulled as soon as he starts.

He casts a confused look at Minseok's mother, who then stares at him with a reprimanding gaze. "Don't carelessly drink your blood like that, Lu Han!"

Are you my mother?

"I'm not going to die just from drinking my own blood—"

"Just listen to what I say," the woman states, visibly annoyed with how she's gritting her teeth.

"Geez," Lu Han retaliates, yanking his hand from her hold before glaring at a distance. "You're not my mother."

"Yeah, because she's dead."

Lu Han breathes out and laughs halfheartedly, shifting his glance back to Minseok's mother. "Thank you for telling me. I totally didn't know that."

The lady scoffs, sending a pointed stare at Lu Han. "Yet you still hang out with Do Kyungsoo. The very person who fucking killed them."

"Why are you acting like this?" Lu Han retorts. "Doesn't the rule say do not advise someone of higher rank than you?" Lu Han questions, patience snapping string by string. "Please do not forget you're an omega."

"Is the spell wearing off?" the woman whispers under her breath, causing Lu Han to frown.

"What spell?"

This causes Minseok's mother to snap her gaze up to him. "You," she snarls, before she reaches down her pants' pocket to take out something.

Lu Han's head spins, and he vaguely recognizes the scent of a potion before Minseok's mother speaks in such a manner it's almost like her voice is the one inducing nausea.

"You are to be scared of making yourself bleed. And the sight of your own blood shall scare you. Drinking your own blood is hard for you."

Lu Han staggers, eyes wavering as he looks down the ground beside his feet, memories being erased and blurred out, before he's taken back to the memory that he's been cut by a dagger.

"Oh, thank goodness, it's already healed," Lu Han remarks, sighing in relief as he presses onto where the wound was. "Why are you here again, Mrs. Kim?" Lu Han asks, looking up at Minseok's mother infront of him, still fiddling with his fingers.

"Minseok might be having his rut in a few days," Minseok's mother informs, and Lu Han swallows, feeling the surge of made-up excitement that the memory haunting spell has long imposed on Lu Han.

"O-Okay.." he speaks, turning to head to his house, trying to fight a smile.

Lu Han's wolf growls loudly in distaste, but the barrier between his conscious mind and his wolf's thoughts has been built up too high, a firewall that doesn't perform its supposed duty to protect Lu Han.
