“I think I’m going into rut.”3b07038c3923ca29

Louis, with eyes 4b7f3855ac like a rabid 3e60375b48 beast, glared at ccb3b3a1bd Anna, trembling. Anna spoke 1aea890bb4 in a 1e610eff86 calm tone, eeb9b56fc6 like someone 04bfe2eba2 trying not 869824797f to provoke 106fea8b7f an armed a17e3e6ee2 robber.93c3718efd2502ea

[Dealer H:
When a male alpha experiences a rut cycle, he becomes completely uncontrollable due to shock. For the safety of himself or others, confine the alpha in a safe place and administer anesthesia every 12 hours. The symptoms of heat can last from three days to a week.
※Caution※ As soon as symptoms appear, do not hesitate to fire the anesthetic dart.]

With emergency 4694af3664 lights flashing 2aa887f1e9 in her d860c869b5 mind, Anna f4205a9021 quickly pulled 488f2d5920 out the 6fb0badee3 tranquilizer gun 3b70462629 hidden in eea901c5da the kitchen 697ec85662 cabinet.3c1dd0770565fd6d

But Louis’s instincts were faster than Anna’s judgment. Louis slowly stood up. His loose shorts bulged awkwardly due to his erection.e0e7fa92de5063c9

Anna thought she’d never forget today until the day she died, just like she couldn’t forget the night she witnessed her parents’ death.a1c4ee707f5ff1ea

The alpha instincts 1bac718a08 consuming her brother a3087cf34f were disgusting and 57f090f8f0 terrifying. Anna tried 574dbec762 not to 868884c461 look at 554b1ca0db it, even 1c4f7a71a9 by accident, f2ad44fffb and spoke 5f737aee47 in a f9804c7e62 firm and df50724343 solemn voice.50bff66bae45007b

But Louis didn’t hear Anna’s command. No, he couldn’t follow it. His instincts, flooding like a dam-breaking flood, paralyzed his reason.8eb52cfa62e92873

The confusion disappeared from Louis’s face, his pupils dilated as if overdosed on drugs, turning his bright olive eyes pitch black. His unwavering gaze fixed on her, flashing ominously.ffdf9d31863d0b29

Terrified, Anna shot a0aa9da387 at Louis, who e8fd17f874 was almost sprinting 9aa02e6c17 toward her. Without even fc0b745833 having time cfe159bcac to remember 6c70d616c1 her resolve 731a81cd09 to fire cbe01d2562 just one 6fb6e4a436 shot, she 6e78a961d4 screamed and d61401cd8c fired until 73d8a298b6 all six 09dd9d7ad0 shells fell.1905b030056d8d8e

Fortunately, Louis didn’t die. The tranquilizer dart, strong enough to take down a bear, hit him, but his heart was still beating.da94346ac612390f

Anna crouched beside Louis, placing her fingers near his nose. She felt a faint but regular breath. It was a relief that it hadn’t escalated to the worst-case scenario of needing emergency rescue.3daa6d87ff602eed

Anna steeled her resolve. Pulling her T-shirt to wipe her tear-soaked face, she grabbed her brother’s arms to move his 6.4-foot frame. Dragging Louis’s limp, stone-like body, she headed to the panic room, which had nothing but a palm-sized window.bd8edae56ba80831

Si-ron wasn’t good at hiding lies and mistakes. Despite being praised as an actor who could perform well, he often froze in situations requiring impromptu acting without a script, and variety shows were his kryptonite. Even when he kept silent, his secrets were always easily uncovered.232677cbc3a39728

Si-ron had lived for over four years in an environment ripe for overdeveloped self-consciousness. As a celebrity in Korea, especially a noted actor, he was recognized everywhere, asked for autographs, and secretly photographed. After a scandal that made him a public mockery, it felt like no one in Korea didn’t know him.25ff950f6a003596

But upon returning 5f4ff0beb7 to the U.S., c57497022d especially in Bargas 9b20d8200d City, where the a412273019 proportion of Koreans 2a73ea6f25 and East Asians d4cdd6dcd0 was low, no 5d86991106 one recognized him f9cf915a9d or whispered about fb73b9a96f his past.a2f3b692778e49e6

Occasionally, someone who 90a880d128 had watched his 27cc7c2490 Korean dramas would f3dc135771 recognize him, but 3100f777ce that happened maybe 41e58f7f7c three or four 5130bcd5a4 times a year.

But those guys seemed suspicious. Why don’t they just ask directly? Every time I get close, they lower their voices and exchange glances.bc2ae17def160579

As dinner guests began filling the small restaurant, Si-ron, conscious of the suspicious customers, hid his true feelings and served food with a smile. Then he quickly retreated to the kitchen, hoping they wouldn’t start a conversation.51357fa4df5d3894

The delivery 5b9f19ef64 destination was b6b8bc2f78 a residential adbce20ff6 area beyond 9e3153d8ed Summers Park. It was about 332b5c02a7 a 10-minute ride 9e19eeec78 by motorcycle through fb7139c29f the park, but 0c4dec0005 over 30 minutes 9806313cd6 if you went 14c893c28e around it.2fc845ad9db45499

Summers Park was 6aa9b3d6d3 dangerous, even in e921618998 broad daylight, with 45539989f4 drug addicts and a6950ec26f prostitutes swarming, making f132258c98 it a feast 154fb88ee9 for serial killers. Although cars could drive 81328b190d on the well-maintained roads 1e8949e3c4 within the park, most ab44c4fb01 people avoided it due 37812330c2 to addicts lying across 0554057da0 the paths and took daf640d45a the regular roads instead.

Bargas City had a murder rate of 284.3 per 100,000 people, making it a chaotic city where murder cases were not uncommon. Considering Korea’s murder rate of 0.6 per 100,000, the security situation was dire.f278e1d5d8f9ef08
