SIN [ completed ]

PROLOGUE

 "You don't want to skate anymore?" Axl asked, a soft smile on his face, as he watched his son finally slow down on the bright ice.

"I want more, but I want to eat first!" Louis said, his eyes, so much like Axl's, sparkling with sudden hunger. Axl chuckled, the sound warm and loving, as he looked around the busy mall for a food place his active little Alpha might like.

"Let's go eat now." The bright red and yellow sign of Jollibee called to them. It was a special treat for Louis to visit such a lively place, so Axl quickly agreed. He ordered a kid's meal and watched, his heart full, as Louis's face lit up with pure joy. After they finished eating, their tummies full and spirits high, Louis, feeling new energy, immediately wanted to go back to the ice rink. They headed that way, Louis happily running ahead, a small, excited whirlwind.

"Louis! Don't run on your own!" Axl called out, a thread of worry in his voice. But his words seemed to disappear in the mall's cheerful noise. Louis, lost in his own excitement, didn't hear him and kept running. He happily ran forward, looking back over his shoulder to share a bright, innocent smile with his Dada. It was then, in that quick moment of joy, with his attention split, that he bumped into someone. He stumbled, arms flailing, about to fall, but strong, unexpected hands quickly caught him. Louis's small eyebrows crinkled. He smelled that scent. The same special, comforting scent that always stayed on his Dada when he came home.

A deep voice, surprisingly calm despite the sudden bump, spoke above him. "We meet again... Hmm?" Sin's eyes, sharp and watchful, landed on the boy. Sin was surprised to see this child again, but there was something really odd about the boy's reaction. His forehead was deeply lined, and a clear frown marked his small, usually happy face as he looked up at Sin, with a curious, intense stare.

"You. You smell the same," Louis said, his voice small but clear, with a hint of childish blame that made Sin's body stiffen.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Sin asked, a flicker of confusion in his voice, though a cold, sinking feeling was starting to spread.

"You and my Dada. I always smell this scent on my Dada. So it was you. It came from you," Louis explained, his small finger pointing right at Sin's chest, as if uncovering a secret. Sin felt a huge shock, too stunned to even breathe. A chilling, clear understanding slowly, painfully, came to him. He remembered this kid from Xinzier's information. Axl's child. My child. The words hit him like thunder, breaking apart the life he had built.

"Louis!" Axl's voice, sharp with sudden alarm and a growing fear, cut through the tense air. Louis instantly looked back, his small body darting to Axl, hiding behind his Dada's legs, holding onto him tightly. Sin's tongue ran across his lower lip, a sign of deep thought, as his eyes locked onto Axl. Axl stood still, holding a funny, human-sized penguin plushie tightly, his eyes wide with shock, terror, and a deep, painful sense of betrayal as he stared at Sin. Each step Sin took towards them was slow, like a predator, making Axl instinctively pull back, taking a small, desperate step.

Sin's eyes, usually warm and full of strong love for those he cared about, were now cold, piercing, almost dangerous, as they moved between Axl and the small child hidden behind him. His jaw tightened, a muscle twitching, as he subtly rubbed his nose, a faint smell—Louis's scent, his scent—still there. He slowly put his hands in his pockets, a sign of his controlled power, keeping that cold, steady stare on Axl. The silence stretched, heavy with unspoken accusations and a lifetime of hidden truths.

"You better prepare your best explanation, Axl Louie." The words were low, a chilling promise of a confrontation that made Axl shiver.

It had only been one night, a quick, intense meeting with his boss. But wasn't it supposed to be just that? A simple, easy-to-forget one-night stand? A single, powerful memory, raw and strong, roared in Sin's mind from that night. A memory that now felt like a burning mark,

"You've been marked. You're mine, Axl Louie. Fucking mine."
