Use Me Like A Drug (omegaverse bl)-Chapter 47: The mother’s eye view

Yeon’s POV

I grit my teeth at the painful sound of my son’s roar.

I see the flinch on some of the hardened clan elders faces while some shift uncomfortably in their seats.

Everyone knows that my Jaehyun is not an unruly youth, neither does he make false promises. If he says he will kill you, he will kill you.

Even my husband winces at the rawness in Jaehyun’s command.

"Come out" is all my son asks and none of them dares to step outside of the room, already aware of what my son is capable of. I see loyal old Jisung rising from his seat, intending to go silence Jaehyun but I give him a chilling glare from my own seat next to my husband as the luna.

"Sit" I say and he obeys instantly.

This one meeting has been dragging for hours and I refuse to let them have their way, if they don’t bend to my will, we will all die in here together.

No one is making any decisions for my family. I am the Luna of this pack, head omega to my family and I don’t care how high up these men sit or how lowly they consider omegas, even a male omega like myself.

"Lord Yeon...see" one of them says and I keep my head straight, refusing to listen to the nonsense they are spurting.

"A relationship built from marriage to a prestigious family soon will only foster power, while a marriage to a bloody Choi is calling for trouble" he says and my husband lifts his previously bowed head slowly.

"Are you saying I am failing in my place as ruler?" he asks, ever calm, the side of Jaehyun that scares people the most.

"I am saying you are not getting younger and Jaehyun will take the throne" he says and I tilt my head back, my omega surfacing, ready for war, prepared to bite down on and tear apart anyone who dares to lay a finger on my mate and my pup.

We had failed once.

"Apparently, I don’t know what plans I have for the empire I have ruled for almost thirty years" my mate chuckles and I inhale.

"All I am saying, my lord" the elder bows his head and continues speaking, "Yoon Sehwa is someone who grew in front of us" he says and the name of that girl makes my omega growl lowly, attracting attention to me.

The speaking alpha dare not look at me. Not when I am seated as head omega and luna of this pack.

"Say that name again and I will mark your face with my claws" my omega hisses and I see Jisung lean into his own seat, his face drawn tight as the meeting that is supposed to be held only the alphas is being turned upside down.

He had called me in here to calm my husband and ease the tension, now I am the one needing to be calmed.

"Lord Yeon" the stubborn alpha says, and I stand up with my claws drawn and my eyes bright blue with anger.

"Jisung" my husband says and nods his head at his trusted right hand to take me out. Hissing still, I let him take me out of the room to my husband’s library.

"Take a breather Yeon-ah" he says and leans against one of the sturdy shelves, with just me and Jisung here, I let out a sigh and rub my face tiredly, my stubble scratches my palm as I realize I haven’t even had a chance to properly take care of myself.

"None of them saw what I did that night" I say and Jisung tilts his head back to look at the ceiling. He also didn’t get to see the horror but he saw the aftermath that was just as terrifying as the moment itself.

My son escaped unscathed miraculously, but he bore a damage that we can never explain to anyone unless they had seen him with their own eyes.

"That child...that child looked me in the eyes and..." my voice trails off as I remember it clearly, as if it happened just yesterday.

"Mother" she had called me as I ran to the burning house, I had seen Jaehyun pass out through the window and she was all smiles.

"What have you done?" I shouted as I run past her, needing to save my son and she grabbed me by the arms, with a strength that is unusual for a female.

This is not the Sehwa I nurtured.

"Wait a minute mother, just a bit more" she had said, and her face turned from blank to emotional, like she was going to cry if I walked away from her.

"Why would you save him when he didn’t save me?" she asks with her eyes wide and brimming with tears, a look I have fallen for many times over the years.

A look I would have fallen for it if not for the orange fire reflecting in her eyes, making the tears look like liquid fire.

"You’re a devil" I whisper as I realize what she truly is.

"Mom" I hear my pup’s usually lively voice call me weakly and a sob rips past my throat, the abandoned child I had nursed, and raised has become a monster before my eyes and I can only be reduced to tears and heartbreak.

"Yeon-ah" Jisung calls softly and I blink, "Jaehyun has suffered guilt since then because of her" I say and he nods, "I know" is his simple response.

"I know the countless time he and Taeho have gone out, risking their lives to save omegas from abuse because a girl lied!" I say and anger swells inside me.

"How dare she?" I hiss and clench my fists, "anger won’t sort anything" Jisung says, always the voice of reasoning.

"Those men are working with a plan and if we are going to put a stop to whatever chaos they have in mind, we have to be calm" Jisung says logically and I nod in agreement.

"I can’t stay here. I am returning to the hospital" I say and pat my pants to wipe off the specks of dust I noticed.

"Yah, Yeon-ah. I know it’s a lot right now, but the pack needs their luna. Remember we are still in mourning" Taeho says quietly and I look at him sadly, "how can I forget?" I ask him and he bows in respect for me.

As I leave the building I pass by the statue of a cherub that was made in honor of my first lost child. I look at the stone craft that has been stained with black from the smoke of the night I almost lost my only surviving child.

I have lost enough children, both my birth children and my adopted children to let one devil dressed in white waltz in and pluck another out of my hand.

I am not letting it happen.
