Perspective Ruthless

Why am I still thinking about that-brat of a Silly Siberian Husky?

"Haaah."

I let out a heavy sigh and shake my head, unable to figure out why that pale face, those beautiful eyes, and that small nose are bothering my mind. I should be focusing on my duty of maintaining order in this house, but here I am, sitting still for hours, thinking about that-brat's face.

It is probably because I feel regret.

The main reason is likely that very regret. It is rare for me to meet someone who is so captivating that I call them attractive. Even though that youth is an Omega, I have to admit his dim-witted mannerisms, the way he follows every order to the point of forgetting to breathe, are funny enough that I cannot help but laugh when I think back.

Back then, I seriously thought about taking him as my Mai. Maybe I felt pity. Just thinking that a dim-wit like him, surrounded by others, would probably get bullied or pushed around, I felt a strange sense of pity. So, I intended to let my scent mark him, hopefully as a protective shield to keep others away.

My scent, the one others desperately want to have.

Since I was young, I have been treated as superior to others. So much so that the big Chao-nai spent a great deal of money to acquire me, because the farm owner did not want to sell. Therefore, I am accustomed to people yielding to me easily. But that youth's submission was different. He did not want my power, my scent, or my bloodline. He submitted because... he is a hopeless dim-wit.

All creatures of my kind know how to survive in the outside world, but he does not.

If you let that clueless Âi'guy loose in the alley near the house, he might not even know which way to walk home.

He has no survival instinct. And maybe because I was born into a leading family, I cannot help but worry a little. But well, Chao-nai's friend found him first.

I feel regret, but I find it more amusing.

I remember clearly that Chao-nai's friend told that youth to shut his mouth. But my excellent sense of smell told me that very Chao-nai's friend had just done something he cannot tell anyone about, to the point he had to look back at the shop owner.

And the Chao-nai, this man, is saturated with the Chao-nai's friend's scent, but it does not seem to the level of my Chao-nai yet.

I am desensitized to human mating, because I have seen the big Chao-nai and the Chao-nai countless times. I just lie still in the corner of the room, guarding against anyone interrupting. So, even if they seal the room shut, I know immediately which human has just been through which stage with whom.

"Haaah, whatever. Forget it. It is just one youth." My head should only be filled with matters concerning my Chao-nai. So I tell myself to forget. But.....

"Ruthless! Âi Ruthless!!!"

My Chao-nai is calling, so I must answer.

"Phîi Pakin is not here today. You have to behave." I think I never misbehave, but I am too lazy to argue.

Just this, and the Chao-nai gets upset that I do not love him anymore, saying I only take the big Chao-nai's side. But it is not true. I know every order is for the Chao-nai's sake, that is why I follow them.

But what is happening today?

The Chao-nai probably did not come just to tell me to behave. Someone must be coming.

"Later, I am going to pick up Âi Moo. I am taking care of him today. Therefore, if you bite Âi Gok's dog, I will kill you. I am telling you now."

Thud.

I am not stunned because the Chao-nai slanders me as being so ruthless and cruel that I would harm a defenseless creature. I am stunned because I had just managed to forget, and now I am going to see him again.

"Yeah, Âi Gok called. I will go pick up Âi Moo first. Behave." The Chao-nai leaves, talking on the phone with his friend, leaving me standing still. And why... I cannot stop the corners of my lips from lifting into a smirk. I feel like I am about to get a little prey under my control.

I am just bored right now.

Will that youth act like a dim-wit again this time for my amusement?

The thought makes me stride quickly to the house entrance and then drop down to sit in a spot no outsider dares to walk past, because my gaze... is no less frightening than the big Chao-nai's, I tell you.

I have high patience. So, waiting just over an hour for the Chao-nai's car to drive in is a trivial amount of time compared to what I plan to do with that youth. When the brand new BMW the big Chao-nai bought for the Chao-nai stops completely, I stand up but do not move, watching from my higher vantage point.

I see him. That attractive-faced youth in an oversized outfit, looking up at me.

What is wrong?

I do not think he is so dim-witted he does not remember me. But he avoids my gaze, looking only at the ground. His ears are flattened against his silver-gray fur, his gray tail drooping close to his slender legs, following my Chao-nai with the demeanor of a servant who just started working today.

"What should I do, Wá? I am really afraid you will bite each other. Should I put Âi Moo in a cage?" My Chao-nai still will not stop worrying.

So I walk down to stand next to that youth. He really is small. My shadow can cover his body, and that makes this youth bow his head even lower.

"Do you not know how to greet?" I do not need to speak to him first, but I will consider it him being scared in a strange place.

Gasp.

The little youth startles and then looks up at me.

"Phîi Ruthless... Há."

"Thought you would not remember me."

"N...No, Há. Moo remembers."

Why does he bow his head even more the more he talks, Wá!

I am getting irritated that he is bowing until his chin touches his chest. Is he planning not to look up at me at all?

"Khun Graph, Khun Graph! Khun Pakin is on the phone. He says he called your mobile but you did not answer." I think the timing is perfect, because someone from the house calls out for my Chao-nai, which makes the Chao-nai turn to look at me silently and then say in his strong voice,

"Do not go bite Âi Moo, Wôoi. I will be just a moment."

He sees me as that much of a savage, does he?

I roll my eyes, looking at the Chao-nai who runs into the house, leaving me alone with the blue-eyed youth... just the two of us.

The attractive little one, standing with clenched hands, squeezing himself together as if he wants to burrow into the ground and escape.

"What is wrong?" I ask in a voice I try to make soft.

"Moo cannot talk to Phîi Ruthless, Há."

"Why?!" We have not seen each other for just a moment, and he dares to disobey me already?

"Be... because do not be so harsh, Há."

Oy! What is the big deal, Wá? My voice has always been like this.

This youth is trembling all over, which quells my irritation at him refusing to look at me. I ask in a voice that is softer... a little.

"I am not being harsh. So, what is wrong?" He glances at me for a split second.

"My Chao-nai... the Chao-nai ordered Moo not to get close to Phîi Ruthless, Há. My Chao-nai said Phîi Ruthless looks... and is very heartless. If Moo does not want to get hurt, Moo must not get close to Phîi Ruthless. And also... and also... Moo is a man. My Chao-nai strictly forbids... turning my backside towards Phîi Ruthless, Há...." The youth speaks in a voice both brave and afraid, and that makes me clench my jaw tightly.

"And you believe it, Wá?!"

Hic...

The little one startles again. Probably afraid I will pounce and bite his neck. But what is this, judging me based on someone else's words, even if that person is his Chao-nai? Did I do anything to him last time? Not at all. I was much kinder to him than to others!

Irritating, Wôoi!

"What is happening?"

"Good Lord... Come here!" My voice is probably a bit too loud. People from the house run out to look. I have to grab his hand and drag him towards the back of the house. I know well which spots in this house others cannot find me, and even if my Chao-nai calls until he dies, if I do not clear things up with this youth... do not expect me to let him go easily.

Perspective Moo Moo

Last time, Moo got scolded.

I do not really know if that was scolding or grumbling, but the Chao-nai scolded me until I almost cried, saying how could I present my backside to someone else. So I learned that what I did was very embarrassing, as much as when Chao-nai unzips his pants and plays with himself. The Chao-nai strictly ordered me, 'You must not, absolutely must not, go arching your backside for Phîi Ruthless or anyone else, if you do not want me to be angry.'

What could I do, Há? I had to obey the Chao-nai.

Even though deep down, I think Phîi Ruthless is kind, unlike what the Chao-nai says, because he helped me and even chatted with me, Há. So I intended to talk to him secretly, behind my Chao-nai's back, but...

I overheard something, the thing the Chao-nai was talking about.

Phîi Ruthless made women slap each other, Há!!!!

For me, just having a conflict is scary enough, but Phîi Ruthless made others slap each other! That is scarier than having a conflict myself. I am afraid too, that if I get involved with Phîi Ruthless, I might get bullied. And those women are terribly scary.

The female senior at the spa once said to me too...

"Such a low-class person, but how did you get in here?"

I was depressed for three days, Há.

Besides that... Phîi Ruthless knows a lot of people.

The moment I thought this, Há, my heart gave a big jolt. So I thought I must be sick. Therefore, the best thing is to do what my Chao-nai said: not get close to Phîi Ruthless. But Chao-nai, Há, why did the Chao-nai have to send me to stay with Phîi Graph? Then I have to meet Phîi Ruthless. And also...

Do not cry, Moo, or Phîi Ruthless will scold you again.

Right now I am trying not to cry, but Phîi Ruthless might be taking me away to kill me.

Boss, Huu, why did the Chao-nai abandon Moo? The Chao-nai is heartless.

I can only suppress my sobs, following Phîi Ruthless until we arrive beside the house where there is a beautiful garden. But I do not have time to look, because when I glance up at the face of the person dragging me... Euh Huh, Phîi Ruthless is staring as if he will skin me to make a doormat!

"Crying, can you? It is annoying."

"And do not hold your breath again. I still do not want to be a murderer, Há." I sob. Hic, Hic. Today Phîi Ruthless seems more irritable than the other day, and that makes me try to recite mantras like the Chao-nai taught me. But, eh, my Chao-nai only has spells like 'hard thing, become soft,' 'swollen thing, become deflated.' Will I survive with this or not, Há!!!!

"Haaah."

Moo is definitely dying today.

Phîi Ruthless sighs again. But then...

Whoosh.

"I am begging you, stop crying first. What else have I done to make you so afraid, Hâ?" Phîi Ruthless wipes my face, Há. He uses his hand to wipe across my face until the tears come off in clumps. And the voice telling me... is very pleasant to listen to, I tell you.

"Okay, listen. I am like this. My voice has been harsh like this since forever. But I confirm that today I have not yelled at you yet. And if you do not want to die, put those tears away. They do not work on me." Phîi Ruthless says in an even tone that is still scary, but I feel a bit braver, and that makes me realize.

"My hand... Há." Phîi Ruthless is still holding my hand tightly, but I do not dare to pull it away.

Clutch.

Instead of letting go, he holds it even tighter.

"I will let go when we finish talking... So, you will not talk to me because your Chao-nai told you I am heartless enough to kill you, right?"

"Just heartless... not killing..."

"Shut up."

He said he was not being harsh!

I do not dare to point it out, only able to grumble in my heart, looking at Phîi Ruthless who lets out another heavy sigh.

"Huh."

"Okay, I promise I will not hurt you... Agreed?" I look at him fearfully, but it seems if I do not agree, I might not have any breath left to return to the Chao-nai who is currently in a state of distress. So, I nod, and....

Thud.

It is not the praise, Há, that makes me freeze, but... Phîi Ruthless's smile.

Since we met, I have never seen Phîi Ruthless smile. But now he is smiling. A smile that is not scary, either. Especially on his sharp face, it makes the almond-shaped eyes I thought were unapproachable look much friendlier. So I bow my head.

Chao-nai, Moo's heart is beating!

"So, when will you agree to be mine?"

"Eh!!!" Immediately I cry out very loudly, my eyes wide looking at Phîi Ruthless, before shaking my head forcefully.

"I cannot be Phîi Ruthless's, Há. My Chao-nai ordered it."

"But you agreed."

"Moo is sorry." Again. Phîi Ruthless makes a fierce face again. And...

Thump.

Crash!!!

"Ouch! Moo hurts! Moo hurts!" Suddenly, Phîi Ruthless pounces on me, grabs both my hands, and pushes until I fall down in a heap on the ground. Then Phîi Ruthless jumps up, straddling me on top, so I can only cry out in shock and fear. Especially since he is smiling coldly and saying...

"I never let anyone escape."

Thump.

"No.... Do not want.... I do not want it!" Phîi Ruthless grabs for my tail, so of course I quickly snatch it back and hug it tightly, as if it is the last fortress. My Chao-nai's order echoes throughout my head. But when Phîi Ruthless cannot grab my tail, he grabs my pants instead.

"What is bad about being mine? You will get respect from others."

"Do not want! Do not want! Chao-nai! Help! Help Moo!!!"

I do not care if others respect me or not. But I am scared, so I cry out for my Chao-nai loudly, both hugging my tail and trying to struggle against my pants. And they... are about to come off my butt now.

"Hey!!! Âi Ruthless!!! Âi Ruthless! Stop it right now!!!"

"Phîi Graph! Phîi Graph, help Moo! Moo is scared! Waaaaaaah!"

Moo is saved! Phîi Graph has come!

"Hee. You got away this time. But do not think you can escape." It is true that Phîi Ruthless lets me go so I can run to Phîi Graph, but he also whispers into my ear, which makes me whine at the Chao-nai's friend.

I do not want this anymore! Moo wants to go home! Wants to go home!!!

Perspective Ruthless

Do not ask me if I am irritated. Ask me what level of irritation I am at!

In my life, no one has ever dared to refuse me. But here I am, both comforting, coaxing, and softening for him, and he tells me he will not agree to be mine!!!

Just who does this youth think he is?!

Let me die!!!

Others fight to have me in droves, but he keeps refusing, following his Chao-nai around like a shadow. And the Chao-nai is even angry with me for threatening that pale-faced youth, which I did not! We agreed that he would consent to be mine, but that youth cried and threw a tantrum when I got serious!

I never particularly wanted anyone, but if I cannot have him, then do not call me Âi Ruthless, the offspring of Chao-nai Pakin!

Because of the incident in the evening, late at night, the Chao-nai put that youth in a cage and had him sleep in the living room with the air conditioning on. My sleeping place is the main bedroom, which no one in this house knows I can enter and leave any room as I please!!!

I just wait for the Chao-nai to fall asleep before getting up from the bed silently, walking to the door and opening it easily.

At midnight like this, the people in the house go to stay in the small houses, so I often come out to wander. And the destination is the living room on the first floor. I stride down confidently, and of course, I open the living room door easily, walking straight to the cage where a white, delicate creature is curled up in a ball.

He is a creature from cold climates, but judging from the small body shivering slightly, he probably is not very accustomed to the air conditioning.

"Hee." I laugh softly in my throat, looking at the door that separates me, which I... already know how to open.

Creak.

Not careful at all…I have reached him. This youth is still curled up, breathing lightly, no different from before. Seeing this, I should rightly take him as mine quickly.

Walking around bare, without a protective scent, he is bound to get hurt someday.

Thinking this, I reach out to touch his ear.... Soft.

Not enough. His sleeping face is also... attractive.

A clean, white, and innocent face, full of tear stains, indicates he must have been homesick and cried himself to sleep. So I lean my face closer, inhaling his scent deeply, and find he has a clean, fragrant scent that is tempting to taste. My hand reaches out to touch his skin.

Soft.

This youth's body is soft. And very warm, enough to make me nuzzle my nose into the crook of his neck.

Here, I can show ownership... the slender, thin neck, with only a small collar hiding the skin. One bite would probably kill him right under my fangs. But if I bite just enough for my fangs to sink in, it will be a display of ownership. And this time, I really want to own this youth.

Smack.

I lick the crook of his neck gently.

"Mmm." He moans softly but still does not wake up, probably tired from crying too much.

I slowly gather him into my embrace, letting our bodies touch, while parting my fangs wide, preparing to go for the terribly weak neck. But...

"Ùe, Chao-nai... Moo's snack... Ah!"

"So?" He opens his eyes, so I just greet him with one word that makes this youth turn to stone.

"Ph...Phîi Ruthless?"

"Yeah, it is me... I came to keep my promise."

"What promise... Ouch! Phîi Ruthless, it hurts! Moo hurts! Let go! Let go!!!" I do not wait to lose the opportunity, because I immediately sink my fangs into his neck, aiming for a spot under the collar so the Chao-naies will not notice. Also, his clothes are thick; it will be hidden no matter what. Then I apply force, not very much at all, but he... cries out loudly.

"Let go... Let go! I do not want it... Do not want it!!!"

"Be still, Sì!"

I have to release his neck because this youth struggles against me, kicking me with both arms and legs, until my head hits the wall. And that....

"Calm down, Wá!!!" I yell.

Thud.

The youth freezes, but others in the house must have heard the cries. And if I do not return to my post, someone might find out I sneaked out late at night. So I turn to smile at the little one who is clutching his neck, shrinking back into the corner of the room.

"I told you, you have to be mine. Next time we meet... you will not escape."

I predicted correctly. His attractive face is wet again. Before leaping back upstairs, I cannot resist turning back to plant a quick kiss on the corner of his eye.

"Just agree to be mine."

After that, I leap out immediately, run up to the room, and go back to sleep in the same place as if nothing happened, even though... I lick my lips.

I must have this youth!

Coming up..... the sweet, fragrant scent clinging to the tip of my nose is awakening my hunter's instinct.
