Care For Me

25

Suho's POV

It was about 1AM when my father woke me up through the mind-link and announced that we would go home immediately. I had no idea what happened and he didn't say a single word for as long as we were running back but it felt like he was uneasy and outraged.

I immediately followed him into his office after we got back to our territories and watched him stand in front of the window with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He took deep audible breaths and I gulped while I waited for him to say something or move.

His posture was already a bad sign and I mentally prepared myself for the worst. In the blink of an eye, he turned around, stomped towards me and slapped me across the face. He was panting in fury and his eyes were glowing in a fiery red.

The physical representation of how his rage was burning inside of him. As badly as my cheek hurt, I knew that I would only earn myself another slap, if not something worse, if I was to wince, complain or generally react in the slightest.

"Losing against Jungkook and kissing his mate's hand. I expect more from my son and the heir of this pack. If it goes on like this, you will never be crowned and if it's the last thing I do. We are meant for greatness; superiority. You bring shame to our bloodline"

My father's voice was low and more of a dark growl, indicating that he was about to lose his temper with me. "I deeply apologize, father. It won't happen again. I will not fail you again", I promised and and bowed my head to him.

"You know what happens if you do. Actually, I think it might be my fault. I didn't discipline you well enough if you're still this much of a disappointment and disgrace. I will make sure to correct that", he spat as he grabbed ahold of my jaw.

"Of course, sir", I tried to grit through my teeth and fixed my eyes on his for as long as he thought it was necessary to intimidate me with his powers. Although I was used to this by now, the feeling still hollowed my soul every time.

After about a minute, my father pushed me back and returned to his previous position in front of the window. The moonlight emphasized his silhouette and created a dark shadow that seemed to swallow him whole. Truly a perfect representation of his character.

I was still contemplating whether I should tell him about what I saw or not but he could sense my uneasiness and would only punish me harder, the longer I kept this from him. "I have crucial information for you father. When I kissed Y/N's hand-"

"What? Don't tell me you fell in love with her. Feelings are for the weak, the commoners and subordinates", he scoffed but didn't move an inch. "I know and that wasn't what I was going to say. Believe me or don't but I think she had a pack mark on her wrist. A scar that looked like..."

"...a crescent moon. I know". I raised my head in surprise but quickly lowered it again when a wave of dominance hit me. This was more than typical for my father. He had to put me back in my place. I should know better at this point. "Did you see it too?", I asked.

"There was no need for that. I already got suspicious hearing her name but knew it when we howled with her. She has the same powers as the rest of her family...", he groaned and cracked his hands while doing so. "Powers? What powers, father?"

"Insignificant. All that matters is that we get rid of her as soon as possible. She's the only one that could interfere with our plans". I slightly furrowed my eyebrows upon imagining how a girl with so much inexperience was supposed to be a threat to us.

"That little girl? I could snap her neck with two fingers", I huffed in disbelief, making my father whip around and stare me down. "This is no time for your jokes, Suho. Don't overestimate yourself and underestimate her. Y/N is capable of things you couldn't even imagine"
