The outcasts

the blood reader

Minseok was shaking in excitement. He felt like he was given a reason to punish his family for their misdeed. He noticed Sehun by the door with the files Minseok asked for. “Oh look who is it. My  dear cousin.” Sehun looked like he saw a ghost. “Surprised? I bet your ass you are.” Minseok suddenly leaned. “But I have few more surprises for you.” He snatched the papers. “Excuse me while I check in as Luhan’s lawyer.”

Sehun stood there shocked while Minseok worked his way in the investigation. He met with a prosecutor who had moved the prosecution to a closer deadline. By night, He made himself a small spot by luhan’s cell. “I am going to sue the agency.” Luhan was surprised by the announcement. “Well not really but it will make them change their attitude about me keeping you.”

Luhan observed Minseok for a moment. “I told you that you were an Alpha.” Minseok nodded and caressed Luhan’s cheek. “As we talk about truths and lies.” Luhan looked away nervously. “I lied about how I knew everything…” Luhan looked up, shedding tears. “I can read people’s pasts through their blood. This is why I was prohibited from drinking human blood unlike the rest of the slaves.” He noticed the silence. “I am sorry.” a hand held his and squeezed it softly.

“I am thankful you had such power, Luhan.” Minseok smiled as he reached for Luhan’s face. “I wished to tell someone everything but the weight of my fears was too heavy. That was probably the only way for you to know.” Luhan beamed and rested his cheek on Minseok’s hand. “I am going to free you, Luhan and give you back your name.”

“Kim Luhan sounds wonderful to me.” Luhan said suddenly and Minseok smirked as Luhan showed submission and endearment. “I wish you could mark me back.”

“My wolf heat will kick in soon.” Minseok announced. “I will get your freedom before that and I will mark every fiber of your being as mine.” Luhan shuddered as an electricity ran in his veins. Minseok pulled his sleeves up and brought his arm close. “Feed on me, Luhan. You will need it.” Luhan indeed bite on the man’s wrist, sipping as Minseok remained calm despite the pain and the pleasure it brought him. He eyed the people in the cell who were minding their own business. Luhan shed few tears that fell on the wrists. “Your tears got healing powers, is it a Luhan thing or a vampire thing?”

“A Luhan thing. I discovered so when I cried to heal your mother’s wound once.” Luhan admitted. “She told me to keep that a secret until I become yours.”

Yours. It made Minseok’s heart swell in pride. “I wish I didn’t have to punch you that day. He provoked me.”

“I sensed it. It was a nasty blow.” Luhan chuckled as he managed to take the cuffs off. His wrists were bruised but seemed better.  “Besides, I knew you needed to vent out.” Minseok just nodded and Luhan rested his cheek on Minseok still offered hand, leaning at the endearment. “See you being caring and nice to me despite that, along  the fact I was a slave was confusing but somehow it felt so you, so real, that I believed you instantly when you said that I was a family to you and that you were nice because I was nice to you.” Luhan smiled so sincerely and brightly.

Minseok smiled back and pulled Luhan closer to past a kiss in the vampire other cheek. Luhan somehow felt his heart jump and he blushed madly, looking shy and flustered.  How cute you are, my luhan.

It turned out his heat kicked in sooner than that but instead of overwhelming him, it overwhelmed everybody else. It went to the point an omega in the police force fell on his knees as Minseok left the department chef office. “Alpha… please…” He picked a bottle of pills. “This are suppressants… it will calm your heat down… please…” the omega squirmed and Minseok smelled the submission coming from every pore of that man’s being. “I am mated… please… no…”

Minseok scoffed and took two pills before throwing the man his bottle. “You better leave my sight before I lose control.” the officer indeed ran but froze as three dangerous looking men showed up. “Look who is here?”

They looked at him amusedly. “What a change! We couldn’t sense that much of energy coming from you.”

Minseok ignored them. “You knew he could read people bloodline, didn’t you?” the words left his lips before he could control them and their shock was suddenly clear. “Hmm it seems not.” he approached them. “That is said, Luhan is technically adopted, to cover up the slavery contract which is a really bad move.” Minseok picked a paper to hand over. “As an adopted child, Luhan have the Korean nationality, so he can not be taken out of the territory against his will. Luhan is going nowhere and you better leave this country immediately. If you ever persist on taking him, I will sue the agency and expose everything with Luhan’s help.”

Minseok sensed how his words sank in and stepped closer, glowing in danger. “I am sure you don’t want the vampire community to be exposed, do you?” he stopped too close and smirked. “Yet, if you ever touch Luhan again, I am going to turn the world upside down. I am understood?”

The man nodded. “Understood.” they froze there and observed as Minseok walked confidently away. “let us not waste time. We will report him as dead and move on.” the man looked toward his confused men. “Besides, it will be dangerous for us to have a blood reader in our toes, especially an ex slave.” they disappeared before anyone could notice, meanwhile Minseok had heard them oh so well, hiding few feets from them.

“A blood reader.” Minseok mumbled it darkly.

He walked out of the department when he was face to face with his uncle. His Alpha suddenly went in the attack mode, leaving his body shaking in anger and his expression shift to anger and displease. “I won’t give him the satisfaction of winning.” he walked ahead, ignoring his uncle and Sehun who froze there at the submissive power that irradiated all of sudden from Minseok. Sehun was the most shocked as he noticed the difference between when he met Minseok at first and by then.

“It is like his power grow with time.” Sehun stated in shock. He looked over his father who had a displeased and scared expression on. “He is an alpha, how could he be designed to be an omega with all that power in him?”

“It takes more than power to be an alpha.” The old man said as he slammed the car’s door with so much force. Sehun jumped and followed his father knowing that he could say nothing. They were called for the investigation as Minseok’s return contradicted their facts.
