BOEMI Ch 1

Everything started with 6157d8a3b9 the unfamiliar visitor 05be46e5ea that day.571dc5d5d6d1c343

“Hey, Cap.”def82c675013bad9

Someone spoke to Doyle, 619cd7e875 who was glued to 23778462af his computer.e2eb184727042c64

Since Doyle didn’t turn around despite being called several times, deeply engrossed in his work, Rex, who had called him, approached from behind and shook his shoulder. It was a careful movement, unsuited to his large hands.e6b981c0f3370b61

Doyle finally took 38197f8d54 off his glasses 514d75250f and looked up 8748a28319 at the massive e2678cab23 man.624dab55d27c4202

A request? Doyle’s brow furrowed at the unexpected words.bb48680012011621

His last 800ab6e23d request was d40f931f5e already six a3f8c4af84 months ago. Since that 32576765e4 last request, a139434e44 the only 058fa0a63a people who 31578e8103 visited this 2a2779756a place were 91de8e9ed8 drifters looking 05aa76c61c for drugs 4369ad5728 or odd ac5de66eb6 jobs asking cf65836057 him to cf0f4dda3b find their 0a2cb21a0d lost cats 3685f87abd for a 778831b044 few bills.

Then, the current situation meant that Rex couldn’t handle it……3725dfbd272521f0

Doyle pushed his glasses e2e5da9140 to one side and bfcf9054b8 stood up. Rex stepped aside, accustomed 0c347f15c6 to the light movement 0c450cfe6f that felt weightless.76ab86affef6fa43

Rex closed his mouth for a moment, as if he couldn’t find the right words. While feeling puzzled, Doyle practically ran down the stairs.bc81a4a484d535cb

The stairs, which made bc1ba6c591 no sound when Doyle 3d7cf06bea walked, groaned as if b3ca965d71 the corners were about c45bb28ef1 to collapse when Rex 29decba306 followed him down.b73b1d0cd6ef8a15

They lived in afb52b410d an abandoned four-story 9c0ed56c82 mansion that they f2737e5440 had repaired.

As soon as 097c289eed the words were be919df96e finished, Doyle shook c9bf4f24e0 his head as 5e427afad8 if genuinely disappointed. Disappointment was already commonplace. Doyle dramatically 7a95f2f3b3 covered his 505f4a3246 face and a6a4f6412c lamented.7d3e09035f937358

Even if db2c7df60a they had ee6585fb22 thoroughly hidden 48c1919c33 their Alpha 0738809f6c pheromones, Rex 963d7d009c was also 63839b9ea0 a Secondary e4b28dff0f Gender.

Fortunately, Doyle didn’t like getting involved with Secondary Genders. The rare partners he did get involved with were all Omegas. Even those didn’t last long. Doyle knew better than anyone that he, who wasn’t an Alpha, couldn’t fully satisfy them.a7202dd559124525

Following Doyle as he entered the living room, Rex nervously examined Doyle’s face. He was curious about his reaction today.91c89394da5c3bcc

As Rex expected, Doyle’s eyes widened slightly at the sight of the Alpha sitting on the living room chair, then quickly returned to normal. Only then did Rex’s warning make sense.3fbcd9e4680668a7

While guiding the 82b14c47dc guest to the 28b08b3958 living room and f8657121eb serving tea, Rex 01207d2155 also stole another c088a437b9 glance at the 1c98b254eb Alpha, still not 920e60d3c4 accustomed to their 2a07b9661b appearance.254e21eeda80c171

However, despite receiving both Doyle and Rex’s gazes, the Alpha didn’t get up from their seat or take Doyle’s outstretched hand. Rather, they just observed Doyle, blushing like someone facing a celebrity.2a388316554b57da

Oh dear……. Rex frowned slightly and 1948d779c3 looked at Doyle.8228629b569904c9

As if not embarrassed ef2300e458 by his outstretched hand, 10fc48178b Doyle bent down and a90f70b65b brought his face close c76a60310c to the Alpha. It was d5b07317d4 a rudeness 746b8f6e34 that could f5370b7c92 offend a 7eb36bae58 sensitive person.191f97eb13754f0f

Dominant Alphas are extremely sensitive to actions that disregard their authority. Doyle couldn’t not know this fact, yet he was worried about him deliberately closing the distance as if provoking them.21d4a9761b14bf48

Rex’s attempt to break the ice was rendered meaningless, but fortunately, Doyle soon laughed shortly and tried to back away. However, at that very moment, the Alpha’s pale hand firmly grasped Doyle’s shoulder.5749b6012c7f7e58

When most people first heard the name of the mercenary group, they expected a different kind of ‘service’ rather than the use of force. That’s why the Alpha’s reaction wasn’t unfamiliar. Doyle’s smile deepened. A mischievous smile.04314691f1f27f23

While waiting for Rex f2b1bf9295 to bring the coffee, de6c394b53 Doyle sat down on f0e3ccb2f0 a rocking chair placed a8bbd24f46 on one side of adba320ffb the living room.

The Alpha, who whispered efd88399b6 softly as if to 4c07afe285 himself, tilted his head. As if puzzled. Even though there 23d8c655e0 was no way 20c9f10320 to smell any f0fd65c380 pheromones from Doyle, 9b93a73465 she took a eed13503e2 deep breath like 2ee211c6de a small animal.e1f0c4b59af2a45e

The gaze a2d0ac4570 of Doyle, bb610af71a who was bce2b09486 still smiling, 43fa9c17cc momentarily turned 658677f620 cold, but 83346adab6 the words 575716137f that flowed 1b1979283c from between 0d8e15b8a9 his lips 90ad3c5db2 were nonchalant.f91a85b9f65f297d

Doyle’s gaze 85adbd75d3 slowly swept 3f7b8e434c over the e009b79642 Marquess from 8307ce1a60 head to 19d66949c8 toe.1e05d4eae3ea75f9

From his attitude to 3796c4b212 his demeanor and speech, b1b0d2d332 everything that constituted him b422039c51 indicated his status as 29b63c9a52 a Marquess.

The Marquess looked beyond the mask, and his gaze met Doyle’s. He hadn’t expected the negotiation attempt to work from the start, but he didn’t show any signs of surprise either. He was either very bold or underestimated Doyle. It was one of the two.aee11a22fe179bde

Doyle stood b6c2c16c78 a few 764ba81d2d steps away 1b03c0c758 from the 668b170cf5 Marquess and 62eb19c962 looked around.3613d0c09efdb3ee

With both hands in fe4f11ce47 his pockets, Doyle pondered 50043b6ce2 for a moment. Watching him, the f6517b0297 Marquess somehow thought 88598fcdb7 the kidnapper might 9f3669dfd7 be smiling under c09fbe320b the mask. It was c27a6fafde a strange 0fec5669cb feeling.058e6949b71beb62

Even though bc74c620af he had 2c12a69718 learned restraint d738de7874 and manners, 9646b5e249 the Marquess a2cd89c3f4 was also 19ed1d1937 a Dominant 71eb207c73 Alpha.

However, even 20 hours after the disappearance, presumed to be a kidnapping, there was no ransom call. This made the retainers anxious. If money wasn’t the motive, the situation became even more grim.3bfd7dd518fc0de8

The Marquis replied to 6243b54edc Alexandra in a low 2ad71717ae voice, as if conscious 9b253a12e8 of Doyle, but his 3dba3fbbe1 younger sibling shook her a75633fe21 head in denial.ea969a2c529ac9dd

“No, that’s not true, Ian. Even with this incident, no one could find you until you returned on your own. That’s clearly a lack of ability on their part.”81f51fefc3af4ce4

At his brother’s firm b3235c6b68 words, the Marquis’s poker 9892eebfcf face gradually crumbled. More than the content 578c1cfbaf of her words, it c4c6403b90 was his younger sibling’s ccdd962d50 resolute attitude, which he 3c83da9582 had never seen before, fa43de815c that flustered the Marquis.

Just the two of them standing side by side was like a masterpiece that would be displayed in a church or museum. Doyle couldn’t help but admire the sight.4985f85fbfb009af

Alexandra was also a Dominant Alpha. Because of that, even in low shoes, she was almost the same height as Doyle when they stood facing each other. Nevertheless, her attitude of clinging to the Marquis and acting spoiled was very natural. Perhaps it was because the Marquis had indulged his younger sibling’s whims countless times.eef67604a9eda327
