Chapter 325: Calm and confident man

Taesan’s POV

Three months later

I am not calm or confident.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Seoha has been grunting for a few minutes. One hand is over his stomach and he’s leaning on the couch, legs spread and brows pinched together.

While he’s trying to de-escalate our situation in the way he can, my alpha is whimpering loudly. The part of me that should take charge is cowering like a small pup in the corner of a room.

Seoha shudders, grunting again and my body stays locked in place like I have been glued to a spot.

My mate has gone into labor, and my brain has gone into suspension.

"Taesan...do something" he whines softly while looking at me with glassy brown eyes and I whimper audibly.

I, Kang Taesan the terror of this city’s law enforcers, am whimpering like a scared coward.

"S-should I call the doctor?" I stutter, and Seoha looks at me with open mouth. The look on his face plainly tells me that I have asked an extremely stupid question.

It is an utterly stupid question. Who the fuck was I supposed to call on? A clergy man?

"Fuck, come here. I’ve got you, baby" I say and carry him bridal style. Holding him carefully, I rush for the door and yell orders for my employees to follow.

Every single person in this house needs to do something.

"Bring the fucking car" I yell at someone walking by innocently and he runs out of the house to get the car.

"You, what are you doing? Get the fucking babies’ bags" I snap at another person who bows and runs in the opposite direction.

I’m not wearing shoes, but I don’t care. My mate needs to be attended to first. He’s bringing two boys into the world.

"What are you looking at?" I bark at a random worker and she ducks, turning around to leave my line of sight.

"Oppa, I have it!" Jisu shows up with the babies’ bags, and I let her join us in the car.

Seoha is starting to heave, eyes shut and hand rubbing his stomach to offer himself a form of relief. My omega is in pain, and I have nothing to offer.

"Can you breathe, baby?" I ask and he whimpers softly, front teeth biting into his lower lip and tears spilling.

"It hurts" he says and I look at Jisu like a lost pup.

I am so fucking lost.

"It’s okay...uh...do you want some water?" I ask stupidly and cringe at myself for the irrelevant question.

One would think being older than him would prepare me for this moment, but I know nothing. I know absolutely nothing.

Jisu leans in and starts to whisper softly to Seoha, and the omega nods along to what she’s saying. The way his face is contorted makes my heart hurt.

Pregnancy is a lot of pain and work on my omega. I owe him the fucking world after this. Fuck, I’ll put the project of Mountain Atelier’s new building on hold just for him.

I would take him on a trip to a country of his choice, and I’ll buy whatever he wants. I’ll get a vasectomy if I have to.

"Ah..." Seoha gasps, bringing me back to the car where we’re seated.

I shouldn’t have said those words, they’re coming to bite me in the ass, and their bites are cruel to me.

I need a smoke. I need my sword. I need to text Junho.

We arrive at the hospital, and I carry my omega into the building with Jisu behind me. The nurses take him from me on a stretcher and I stay as close-by as I can.

They carry him into a room and stop me from following them in. They can do what the hell they want, but they won’t keep me from my mate.

"That’s my omega" I growl at the nurse, and she bows her head in apology to me.

"I’m sorry, but it’s how we do things. Your scent is violent and unstable at this moment. We can’t have you around him for now" she says and I growl lowly.

"We’ll call you in soon, please cooperate with us" she says and I curse softly, stepping away from the door and telling myself to stay calm.

The more I see the nurse’s face, the more I want to bash her head into the wooden door.

I shouldn’t take a life in the place where my sons’ lives would be saved.

"Do your job" I spit out and when I turn, I find my sister running up to me with Yuki by her side. They look like they ran all the way here and it eases me to see my family in this moment.

"He’s in labor?" my older sister asks. Her eyes are bright and round with expectation.

"Yes" I say plainly, leaning against the wall and staring into nothing.

"Can you feel him through the bond?" Taerin asks and I reach out for him to see how he’s doing.

I feel Seoha’s excitement to welcome our pups, I feel his fear, and I feel his boldness.

"Yes" I say in a softer tone.

My omega is doing his best to carry the family. I should do my part. I should make sure we’re prepared to welcome him.

"Where’s Junho?" I ask and I hear heavy footsteps.

I lift my head just in time to see that Junho and Minjae are here together with their son. Yuki and Jisu give them a welcoming smile, while I stay blank.

"How is he?" Minjae asks as he stops right in front of me.

"He’s in there" I say, nodding at the room Seoha is currently in.

There are loud noises of his grunts and whimpers spilling out of the room, and the sound of his struggle tugs on a part of my heart that only exists for him, my fated mate.

I shut my eyes and curse again. I hate it when things are out of my control. Seoha agreed to use Epidurals, but it doesn’t ease or cancel out my fear or anxieties.

"Don’t worry, Seoha would do well" Minjae says softly, awkwardly patting my shoulder in an encouraging gesture and I nod.

"We’ll even get him congratulations cards" Yuki says.

"Yes! Something fun and cool" Jisu adds brightly and I sigh. They’re trying to cheer me up, but it’s doing nothing to me.

Seeing my omega safe after the delivery is the only thing that can cheer me up.

"Where’s Sooin?" I ask after my pup. "She’s on her way with grandma" Minjae says, bouncing his baby boy in his arms.

"Sorry, but we’d like you to clear the hallway" a hospital guard says politely and I growl at him. How dare he try to make me leave?

I’m about to attack and tear him to shreds, but Junho stops me by standing between me and the man with a calm look on his face.

"We’ll be in the waiting room" Junho says to the guard and my sister nods in agreement with him while I seethe.

"Junho" I growl, watching the man walk away with his head intact.

"Your mate is about to give birth; would you like him to come out of the labor room and see you wounded from a petty fight?" Junho asks.

"I will be the one doing the wounding" I snap and Taerin noona smacks my head with her hand, giving me a glare of disapproval.

"You have a brain, use it" she says in a motherly tone and I huff, matching her glare with the same intensity.

"I won’t walk away from my mate" I state.

"You’re not walking away. You’re going to be in the waiting area like a normal man" Taerin says and Minjae chortles.

"How do you guys even work with this guy?" the wild cat omega asks, and I direct my glare to him.

I prepare to attack him with my words, but a small voice stops me from saying something to him.

"DAD!" Sooin calls. She’s wearing a green floral dress, holding a teddy bear, and bouncing with happiness.

"Princess" I breathe the title out and my little girl runs into my arms. I pick her off the ground and hug her to myself.

"Dad, is it true mom is bring my brothers?" she asks with a big smile and I nod. "Yes, princess. Your mom is bringing your brothers to us" I respond and she squeals.

"I can’t want to meet them" she says and I give her an empty smile.

’Moon Goddess...I don’t believe in you, and I don’t even give a fuck about you, but please, I need Seoha safe’ I pray in my head and within two seconds, a baby’s cry fills the air.

"Did you hear that?" Minjae asks and we all stay frozen to hear more, even Sooin stays still.

We hear a loud scream from Seoha and another baby’s cry. I still don’t move or breathe. My heart picks up speed in fear, but my fear ends when the door opens and a nurse comes out smiling.

"Congratulations, you’re a father to two healthy boys" she says and I drop my knees.
