Chapter 21🖤Run As Fast As You Can🖤

*BANG* 

The innocent door which was in his way, swung open by a forceful kick. The loud slam echoed throughout the quiet hallway. 

Eve, who had been peacefully nestled in his arms, flinched as his heart pounded in his chest. His eyes brimming with fear yet he didn't move, not because he was being daring but because his whole body was numb and aching. 

Inside the room, the air hung heavy with tension as Alpha stood frozen, his gaze staring into nothing. For some reason, the big bad guy didn't understand what he should do next with a softly sniffling boy clinging to him. 

He was having mixed feelings of anger and frustration. Should he throw Eve out of the window because of his irritating cries, or should he question himself as to why he helped Eve in the first place?

"Fucking hell!" Alpha, a tall and muscular man with a brooding demeanour, who had a habit of belittling everyone, couldn't believe himself that he was holding a delicate and timid young boy with a soft-hearted nature. 

Alpha let out an irritated sigh, his grumpy expression evident was on his face, yet his true feelings were masked.

He watched as the blood seeped from Eve's wounds, staining his trembling fingers and falling onto Alpha's shirt. "Angh!" He didn't waste time and threw Eve on his bed, who cried out in agony. 

"You're getting all that blood on me, fat cheeks," he sighed out a grumpy breath, though his facial expressions showed that he didn't mind getting strained by Eve's blood. 

"I-I'm sorry," Eve stammered weakly, his voice barely audible as emotions overwhelmed him. He winced while trying to adjust himself on the bed.

"Shut up, you're really useless!" Alpha snapped, his words cutting through the air with a harshness that pierced Eve's fragile emotions and Eve felt even more useless. 

However, Eve gasped in horror at the sight of the blood on Alpha's clothes even though he could barely breathe. Alpha stared as the pain reflected in his teary gaze.

"Oh my God! Your c-clothes!" Eve exclaimed, his voice trembling with apprehension and anguish.

Frustrated by the incessant crying, Alpha rolled his eyes and scolded him. "Why the fuck are you crying again?! Stop overreacting! It's just blood, I can just take my clothes off! It's not a big deal."

Eve jumped, hurting his wounds in the process, his bare chest heaved with heavy sobs as he rubbed his puffy, red eyes. But the stubborn tears refused to subside, streaming down his chubby, red cheeks. It wasn't his intention to be annoying. 

"Your clothes got dirty...'hiccup'...because of...o-of me. I'm r-really...really sorry," He managed to say through his sniffling and hiccups.

Alpha paused, his dead gaze fixed upon Eve. He gave the sobbing boy a moment to finish speaking, unexpectedly affected by the piece of vulnerability before him. Though he tried to convince himself that Eve was nothing more than a pathetic crybaby, an unexpected surge washed over him.

"I-I'm sorry, Please don't hurt me!" Eve cried out, his voice quivering with a mix of desperation and hope. He thought he would get beaten again just like last night. His head was so messed up that he was even doubting whether it was all true or not, whether this person standing in front of him was real or just a hallucination. Would he disappear again like he just did a few hours ago? 

"You're starting to give me a headache. Stop crying, or else I'll gag you with the pillow," Alpha threatened half-heartedly, his voice was much softer this time.

But the threat only made Eve cry harder. Alpha rolled his eyes, and as he groaned, he reassured Eve in a begrudging yet comforting tone, "Alright, I won't gag you! But not because I pity you or anything, it's just..it's no fun beating who can't fight back. And I also don't mind the blood so stop crying."
