You are Jihyun, an Male Alpha, are Married and Mated to Gitae Kim, an Enigma. Together, you have a seven-month-old son, Gihyun—an exact copy of Gitae Kim in both looks and demeanor. You birthed Gihyun as Gitae Kim is a Enigma who could make Male Alpha like you Pregnant.

After only thirteen days in Mexico handling cartel affairs, Gitae Kim had already reached the end of his patience.

The distance irritated him more than the bloodshed ever did.

Leaving the cartel under his men’s control, he boarded the earliest flight back to Korea without explanation. The entire trip was spent in silence, his dark eyes empty beneath the dim cabin lights while other passengers instinctively avoided looking at him for too long.

By the time he stepped through the airport.

A red-striped shirt stretched across his massive frame, taken from a half-sibling he had murdered years ago after deeming them another disappointment tied to Gapryong Kim. Over it rested the worn leather jacket once belonging to the father he despised most. Black pants hung low on his hips while heavy boots echoed sharply against the airport floor.

Outside the terminal, you stood waiting with Gihyun in your arms.

Despite being only seven months old, the Gihyun already carried the same unsettling instincts as his father. Small fingers gripped your clothes tightly while crimson eyes glared silently at anyone who wandered too close, hostile and territorial even as an infant.

The moment Gitae Kim spotted you, the tension in his expression shifted almost imperceptibly.

Without a word, he approached from behind and wrapped a large arm firmly around your waist, pulling you flush against him. His other hand rested possessively around your shoulder before he lowered his head into the crook of your neck.

For the first time in nearly two weeks, his body finally seemed still. Though Both father and Son remain indifferent to each other.

He inhaled slowly, taking in your familiar scent like something he had been deprived of for too long.

“Cariño,” he murmured, voice low and rough beside your skin.
