Vol. 1 Chapter 10.3 - Trapped in the living hell

They returned to the estate and Klopp laid Aelock on his bed. His water had broken during the ride, so Klopp’s clothes also became a mess. It wasn’t time for the baby to be born yet, but it seemed to happen because of the sexual violence by those several men. He resented the fact that he couldn’t kill those bastards more painfully.

“Martha! Help me. You, call the doctor!”

After ordering one of the maids, Klopp turned towards Aelock. His face, which had been groaning all the way from the carriage, was now so pale as if he would die at any moment. Martha had come running and was shocked at the sight of how filthy Aelock had become. She stood still for a moment before running outside.

“Bring warm water and towels now! And new sheets and nightwear too! Everything!”

After yelling at another maid, she pushed Klopp away from Aelock’s side.

“Stay over there for now. Holding his hand won’t be of any use now.”

“We need to save him, don’t we? Then please cooperate, so I can do my job.”

Klopp was pushed away from the bed, and until the doctor arrived, she tended to Aelock’s wounds. Seeing Klopp’s messy clothes and realizing that Aelock’s water had broken, the experienced housekeeper patted Aelock’s cheek to wake him up.

“You can’t lose your consciousness. Wake up! Here. Bring more towels.”

At her resolute command, the other maids took the towels soaked with blood away and gave her new ones. Meanwhile, another maid approached Klopp and asked him to change his clothes, but he refused. He would not leave the room until he confirmed that Aelock was safe.

The doctor arrived shortly thereafter and entered the room, horrified that a full-term omega had been sexually abused by several men.

“When did the water break?”

“Not that long ago.”

“Oh no, this is a very big problem. It’s going to be tough.”

At Martha’s words, the doctor looked up from the white sheet covering Aelock’s lower body and he clicked his tongue.

“The bleeding is not stopping. If we don’t take the baby out quickly, both of them will be in danger.”

The doctor rolled up his sleeves and looked at Klopp before asking.

“Are you the alpha?”

Before the serious-looking doctor could say anything more, Klopp spoke up first.

“Save them both.”

“I can’t guarantee that. As you can see, the baby is premature, and too much blood has already been lost.”

“If you can’t save them, I won’t just stand by.”

“There’s no point in threatening me. I may be a doctor, but I’m not God. But I’ll do my best.”

Ignoring the angry Klopp, the doctor quickly went back to Aelock’s side and gave commands to Martha. Following his commands, Martha prepared clean scissors, silk thread, and warm towels. In the meantime, there was nothing that Klopp could do. It was the same as before. All he could do was wait. The doctor worked on Aelock with quick hands.

“Since the birthing omega has lost consciousness, we have no choice but to push the baby out forcibly. Don’t just stand there, come here and help hold him down.”

Klopp obediently followed his instructions. The doctor folded the towel a little and put it over Aelock. He then asked Aelock to tightly grab Aelock’s already sagging shoulders.

Clicking his tongue, the doctor shook his head and added.

“I’ll do everything I can, but honestly, it’s hopeless. If he survives, it’ll be a miracle. It’s better for you to be prepared.”

Klopp said nothing. Martha and the other servants were distracted because of the sudden delivery of the babies. Having nothing else to do, the doctor left, leaving Klopp alone with Aelock in the now silent room.

In Klopp’s arms, Aelock was already like a corpse. It was doubtful if he was even breathing. Klopp held his limp hand, placed it on his chest, and stroked his forehead with his other hand. At that moment, Aelock’s eyelids trembled slightly, then he let out a small breath.

“Aelock?”

When Klopp called his name, Aelock slowly opened his eyes. His eyes, which were staring blankly at the air, gradually narrowed their pupils and titled his head toward Klopp. He blinked very slowly, his full lips barely moving. Aelock’s voice was weak, almost inaudible if Klopp didn’t listen closely.

“...The baby?”

“They’re twins. They both survived.”

“...Good. Thank goodness.”

The voice was as light as air, devoid of any life, and Klopp struggled to suppress the overwhelming emotion that he felt. Otherwise, everything inexplicable would burst out all at once. Klopp chewed on his lip and stared at the ceiling for a moment, trying to catch his breath. He barely contained himself because he didn’t know how to feel at the fact that Aelock woke up and looked for his child first even after experiencing such a horrible thing.

Aelock had enough consciousness to realize that he was giving birth even when the onlookers were going crazy in the situation. You’re just really...

He swallowed the emotions that kept rising. He had to make him say something. Otherwise, he felt like he would die too.

“Why did you run away? None of this would have happened if you hadn’t run away.”

He didn’t intend to, but his criticisms still poured out. Aelock slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again and spoke up.

“...It hurt. Those people weren’t human. That was not... sex.”

“You idiot. You were raped by multiple people! That was a rape!”

Klopp couldn’t listen to Aelock anymore and his anger flared. Aelock’s eyes blinked again.

“I can’t feel my body.”

From how he had been talking nonsense from earlier, it seemed like Aelock was drifting in and out of consciousness. It was a miraculous situation that he was even able to speak. No matter how angry or accusatory Klopp got, it was useless.

“You’ve lost too much blood.”

Aelock looked at Klopp with slightly trembling eyes, then cast his gaze into the distance and said.

“Am I dying?”

“...Probably.”

“Ah.”

Aelock blinked again. Even though he had been told that his death was imminent, he didn’t show any sign of movement, or emotion or shed any tears. He closed and opened his eyes for a moment as if he was listening to someone else’s story. He looked at Klopp and gave a faint smile.

“Is this how Rayfiel died too?”

Did he still have the strength to be sarcastic even at this moment? Klopp felt like he couldn’t breathe due to overwhelming despair and frustration. He wondered when would this demon finally be satisfied with torturing his soul. What crime had he committed for Aelock to pick and choose only the cruelest things to do to him? He really wanted to go mad. Perhaps it would be better to go mad and forget about these indescribable emotions. The emotions that he had been holding back were starting to pour out.
