Trapped In A Novel As The Breeding Mate For Four Powerful Alphas-Chapter 22: While running away from my debtors...

"Will you answer me?" Ki-hoon asked. "Or should I just assume that what I heard was true?"

I stayed silent, my gaze down. Would he really believe me?

This must've been one of those worries Jo-Pil felt when faced with the opportunity to confess. Most times, he felt, even if he said his side of the story, they would rather believe the one who tattled because they were of more reliable source than the criminal who committed the act.

They only believed what was easy to believe, what they wanted to, and shoved out the real truth because it was too hard.

Well, it was now or never, I guess. Whether he believed me or not, I'd like to believe his feelings for Jo-Pil, now that I hadn't pissed him off at all, were stronger than that of an outsider.

"It happened two years ago so I'm sure your memory of the event is in that." Ki-hoon said, still waiting for the confession.

"Yes," I nodded slightly. "I remember it very clearly. How could I not remember when it was such a horrible event?" My hands began to tremble.

I swear, it wasn't my doing this time. It was like a muscle memory while recalling the event. This body still dreaded that day, and even if I was the one in possession of it, it still reacted the same way the real Jo-Pil would've reacted.

Ki-hoon had his skeptical gaze on me. It was as if he was trying to see through me but that was not going to happen. I would tell him exactly what happened, but I'd also add my own little sob story to back it up and gain even more brownie points.

I was going to pin my hopes that this matter would soften Ki-hoon's heart a bit and get him on my side. Even if it was temporary.

"While running away from my debtors," I began, "I stumbled on a man who said he could help me."

By right, unless one had permission or valid reason to make an Omega a slave, they could not put them into the business. Just as much as it was permissible to sell them off, it was also a grave crime to suddenly pick up an Omega from the road or somewhere and try to sell them off without their consent.

Crazy, right? This world's jurisdiction was messed up.

So, unless there was proof that the Omega was in huge debt and the debtors wanted their money by all means, they could've never been able to sell Jo-Pil to the auction house.

Damn, I would've burnt those papers if I were Jo-Pil. That way, they would have no right to sell me off.

But then, they might just get enraged and do even worse things to me so I think it was for the best that Jo-Pil was sold.

"I didn't want to go with him at first, but the pursuers were on my tail, and I needed somewhere to hide. He helped me. And because he was a Beta I didn't put up my guard too much."

"So, you went with him because you thought you could take on a Beta?" Ki-hoon asked with an even scarier gaze but I shook my head.

"No, it's because I couldn't trust Alphas," I said and he flinched. "I was weary because I was close to my heat cycle then. I couldn't get my suppressants but I was sure if I could hide somewhere, I would get a way to get suppressants."

I glanced up at Ki-hoon. He looked particularly interested in what I was saying so I felt I had him hooked.

"Since Beta's don't smell Pheromones or react to it, I thought I would be safe even if I went into a sudden heat while he was offering help. But then..." I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists even harder. "...he took me to a room and said he would get suppressants for me. But..."

God, my body wouldn't stop reacting. I threw my face away, cold sweat breaking out of every pore in my body.

"What happened next, Jo-Pil?" He asked but my body wouldn't stop trembling.

I'm getting there so don't rush me.

With a closer look, he saw my complexion had turned pale and asked,

"Are you okay?"

Do I look okay to you? Don't be a jerk and make things harder for me. It was getting hard to breathe all of a sudden. Was I okay?

Let's hurry up and finish the story.

"The person who returned wasn't the Beta but an Alpha who wanted to take advantage of my heat cycle and then pin the blame on me for 'enticing' him with my Pheromones." I said and gagged.

I covered my mouth, a nauseous feeling enveloping me. I wanted to throw up.

Somehow, the face and the movement of that man played in my head as though I had been the one to experience it and my body just wouldn't stop trembling.

'Ah, at this rate... At this rate...' My eyes rolled back and I lost consciousness just like that, falling to the ground to Ki-hoon's horror.

I could faintly hear Ki-hoon's panicked voice as he shook my body, trying to wake me up but I couldn't even muster any strength.

He sounded genuinely worried. He should call a doctor, that punk. Can't he see that I fainted and need a Doctor?

By the way, is this supposed to happen? I know I inhibited this body in other to live in this dream world but why are the reactions still so real? And why the hell does my body react as though the fears were mine?

Forget it. Let's just sleep. I'll figure things out when I wake up.
