“Maybe we all could have done better for her, but hey, it's ok.” Allen said it softly and wryly. She was quiet for a moment. Eventually, she murmured, “A couple months after your brother called and talked, God know what shit, there were disputes among the shareholders of his company. None of them thought Ashly was fit to inherit because they’re a bunch of bigoted assholes, and the fact that she’s a single parent was just one more reason for them to disapprove of her. And of course, her being an Omega is a big reason. In order to help her late father's company, she threw herself into her work. She stopped mentioning you. We thought she was over you until you showed up again three months ago. Me and Sebestian know what happened between you guys three months ago, but of course we know we can't control Ashly because she is an adult and mature person.” Alex scrubbed his face with both hands. They came away wet, so he wiped them on his jacket. “Maybe that would have been better,” he said.
"Baby, I think the construction project we just looked at is not bad; why not take our new home there?" Sebestian came out of the reception center of the construction company and looked through the information provided by the builders. Sebestian was really stupid. "And the price is only 21 million dollars; I think it's okay." It's already noon, and the sunlight is killing them; they can almost dry because of it. The big sun and Sebestian nonsense made Allen mad. She, who was walking in front of Sebestian, felt like the smoke was really coming out of her nose and mouth; she was really angry and grumpy, and she couldn’t determine whether it was because of Sebestian exaggeration or because of the cause of the sun, but she is really getting irritated now. The harshness of the sun killed her. She took a deep breath and calmed herself; she really didn't want to scream at her mate outside. "Ok you? The 30-square-meter project just now costs 21 million! Do you really think that our dead
"Brother, seriously, I don't have time," Sam says, rolling his eyes. His brother called him early in the morning, and he wanted him to come to his son's birthday party. According to his brother, Adom is his big fan, and he will be happy if Sam comes. Sam was really shocked when he learned about Adom. The other day, Alvin called him and laughed his ass off. He is calling both him and Alex dumpy and stupid. Sam was already feeling guilty because of the stupid call, and now Ashly was pregnant when his brother left her. And Adom had already been born when Sam called her and said all those offensive things. "Alex, look, I don't think I can face Ashly. After that, phone shit". Alex chuckled, which made Sam even more angry. "She knows everything already, Sam, so don't worry; she already forgives us." 'Yes, but I can't forgive myself, not after what I did to her sister'. "Hey, Sam, are you listing me?". "Now what, brother? Look, I told you already I couldn't come. Please try to under
Sam just hums, but his free hand comes to entangle with Monika before raising it to his mouth to kiss every digit. Sam doesn't declare his love casually, like Monika; instead, he shows it through his actions. Monika is used to it; she actually anticipates Sam's affectionate touches and thoughtful actions. She's addicted to it and expects it to be a part of her life every day. How will she live without Sam around to dote on him, touch him, and love him? Eventually, Sam goes back to cooking, and the sound of the knife against the chopping block soothes Monika's swelling chest. She hums along to it, periodically kissing whatever part of Sam he can get, and Monika lets him. Monika clings to him and kisses his cheeks, neck, and shoulders as he cooks. Or he tries to... Monika can't cook, but she can see that Sam is not getting a lot of cooking done. He's been chopping the same carrot for the last fifteen or so minutes. Understandable... After all, Monika was distracting him with smooches,
"What did he say?" Ashly asked as Alex hung the phone; he looked stressed after taking it to his brother. "I don't know Ashly; he said he was not sure. He doesn't know how to face you after that stupid phone call." Ashly nods her head in understanding; she can understand Sam. "Yeah, but it's not his fault; your grandfather was the one who didn't give him a choice". "I now remember everything, Ashly; you know it's really frustrating for Sam. He really doesn't want to do this, but or Grandfather, he just..." "He told him to call me; otherwise, your grandfather will make sure no one treats your disease, which actually doesn't exist in the first place". Alex nodded, and he rested his head on his mate's lap. "He really plays dirty; he and my father both play dirty. And it's all because you are Omega. Seriously, Ashly, I want to kill my father." Ashly chuckled and smacked her mate's head. "You are not doing any other stupidity; you are not Alpha of any pack now, and our son needs hi
Ashly fell asleep again on the way home. Alex was starting to reconsider whether to try to convince his friend to see a doctor. Ashly looks really pale and unwell. Alex shook his head. His friend was not going to see the doctor. Ashly practically hates doctors. If only Alex could call Moni, she would be the best choice for his mate. She knows very well how to take over from Ashly. And she is the only doctor to whom Ashly will listen. But of course he can't call her, not after all those sh*ts she did to him and Ashly. Sometimes Alex really wonders why Moni did all those things, but again, it doesn't matter how many times they ask; she will never tell them the truth. Alex shook his head again to get rid of those stupid thoughts and looked towards his beautiful mate, who looked really pale and weak. Maybe he would call his stupid cousin and ask for his opinion. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Alvin, but...Alex is worried. What if Ashlu thought he was perfectly fine and they missed so
“Do you think my dad is still downstairs?” Ashly asked lazily, nuzzling at Alex's shoulder. She was really not happy when she learned about Man visiting them. Even Ashly told him last time to stay away from her and her family. But of course he is not going to listen to her, and on top of that, he doesn't want Adom to know about the tension between them. He really loves Man and for him, Man is the coolest grandpa. She really doesn't want to take away her son's happiness just because of her anger toward him. But she also can't forgive him; Ashly really doesn't understand what she is going to do with Man and how she will make Adom understand about their not-so-good relationship. “Dunno,” Alex mumbled, and he got a mouthful of wispy hair for his effort. He lifted his head a bit and added, “I might’ve made him mad, you know; I said to him something that is actually not good for his ears.” “Mm, I’ll let him stew a bit longer, then, and I hope you keep fighting everyone who tries to come
It was fine. The jacket could be laundered. Alex let himself revel in bliss, in the curl of their scents together, musky with sex. His beautiful mate was heavy on top of him, but of course Alex didn’t mind. His inner alpha was pleased, and a low, rumbling purr started up in his chest as he stroked his ashly hair. When his knot went down, they’d have to clean up and air out the room. But for now, they could just be present with one another, learning each other’s bodies again. It had been too long. He’d missed Ashly so much. He misses his time with Ashly so much, but now he is back. And his mate is his again. "Are you okay, baby?” Alex mumbled after a moment, tipping his head to brush kisses on Ashly's puffy hair. “Mm, better than ever,” Ashly responded, stretching slowly and testing her muscles. Alex Knot needed another minute, and the shift inside Ashly made both of them gasp. Alex rested his hand on his mate's lower back to still her. “Maybe not just yet.” Ashly snuggled a laugh
