Alexander:
“Alex, we really don’t.. “
“I am not asking, Scarlett” I snapped, glaring at my wife.
The two of us kept Anastasia back at home with mom and dad, but I was determined to see and make her feel the mistake that she was about to make. Seeing as she was weak when she came to the house, I wondered how the hell she was going to manage a baby on her own, and I wanted to make her feel the guilt behind what she was going to do.
We entered the building, and I frowned when I heard people banging in the floor that we were on, and needless to say, the smell of weed and alcohol that filled my nostrils made my stomach churn; however, Scarlett didn’t comment as she looked down at her feet.
Scarlett opened the house’s door, allowing me inside before she followed me in. I frowned at the sight of the empty living room that simply had a crib, a pillow, and a mini fridge inside it. The crib was expensive, I could tell, but other than that, the house was practically empty. I walked deeper in the house, watching as Scarlett crossed her arms over her chest.
Her clothes were hung to dry on a drying rack, and looking down at my feet, my heart dropped when I saw the mattress that was on the floor.
“You were going to raise her…”
“Have you bothered to ask how I stayed here, Alexander?” She asked, stopping me. She opened the fridge and took out the bottle of strawberry jam and old, hard bread, showing it to me “instead of asking how I was going to raise Nasia, have you bothered to ask what I went through living here?”
My eyes hardened at her question, and crossing my arms over my chest, I looked at her, studying her weak expression as she looked around the apartment “you really don’t care, do you? About our bond, about the friendship that we once had, or even about the days that we spent together growing up. Unfortunately for me, I care, I even cared enough to feel pain when I saw you resenting the woman you claimed that you loved, and that was one of the reasons why I left…”
“What?”
“I left after finding out that I was pregnant because I saw you resenting Delilah and did not want to be the reason behind it. I ignored MY pain, and I ignored the fire burning my chest, the fear that I had, every single bloody damn thing to ensure that YOU could live with the woman that you claimed you love” she said, glaring at me “therefore, please, instead of looking at me like some sort of mistake that you made, at least try to consider that I did not like this; however, I did it to ensure my child’s safety and your happiness”
“If you wanted to ensure my happiness, you would have been fucking honest…”
“Would you I-Jaye let me keep the baby?” She asked, stopping me “would you have spared me a second glance? Yqu…”
“You’re proving to me that you don’t know me, you do realize that?”
“You’re a man who tucked me to please your lust before rejecting me, and that was the last thing I ever expected from you. You let go of me as a friend, because your ‘girlfriend’ asked you to, and that was something that I never thought would happen. You chose to…”
“thelieve that you would have let me…”
“No, don’t compare me to her” Scarlett said, stopping me, her eyes glaring daggers at me “because I Would have never prevented you from living with the person you trusted with your life. Your family, your mum, your dad, your whole pack, trusted me. I grew up by your side, I knew you at your weaknesses.—-, before knowing your strengths and I loved you through every one of them…”
I couldn’t help but freeze upon hearing her words, my chest aching as I processed what she said, and shaking my head, I turned to walk out of the apartment “collect your personal belongings, we’ll close the contract in this place before leaving We’re going to go shopping for baby things as it seems like you don’t have anything for her, then we’re going to get you a few new things as well”
“I was working at a restaurant, are you going to…?”
You are going to go and leave the job. I don’t care what they tell you, but if you are going to choose to live under my roof, I will not have you working at a restaurant” I said, glaring at her, stopping her.
I am not choosing to live under your roof…” I growled in warning, stopping her from what she was going to say, and taking the hint, Scarlett stayed quiet. Her heart raced against her ribcage, and I was surprised when my heart matched her beating. I held on the knob, and looking at her over my shoulder, had to fight back rolling my eyes when I saw her flinching.
“I’ll be waiting for you in the car, and I don’t expect you to be long…”
“Why did we leave the crib?” Scarlett asked, frowning in confusion.
1 bought her a new one, in case you haven’t noticed, and she has…”
“She could have had two?”
She already does, Scarlett” I said, stopping her “and don’t worry, I’ll send you the money you paid for…”
Now, if anyone ever told me that Scarlett would be growling at me before, I would have told them that they were lying; however, here she was, growling in warning at me. I frowned, looking at her as we stopped in front of a traffic light to find her gripping on her bag.
I did not buy my daughter anything for you to return the money” she said, glaring at me “I simply asked a question, and I expected a response; therefore, I suggest that you mind your fucking limits with me”
“Oh, someone is having guts…”
“I am more than willing to accept all your bullshit, Alexander, do you understand me? But insult me because you believe that I depend on you, I will go work my fucking ass for twenty hours, rest for four, and repeat if I have to, is that clear? And no, I wouldn’t care about what you say or think” she said, stopping me. I looked at the traffic light which had turned green before starting the car again, watching as she looked out the window.
I knew that she was reacting the way she was because she saw herself as weak at the moment, and despite me wanting to actually trigger that, I couldn’t help but regret it. She turned to look at the window for a few seconds before she wiped her eyes, making my chest ache as I realized that she was trying to hide her tears
“Hey…” I said, putting a hand on her knee, catching her attention. I squeezed her knee gently, careful not to hurt her, smiling when she didn’t flinch or move away “I didn’t mean to offend you, especially not like that. But…”
“I don’t want yoithinking that I am less than you or Delilah because I am an omega” she said, stopping me 1 know that you hate the fact that I am, but it is not my fault that I was born like that, and you’re not even givin4 me a chance. Yes, I have made a mistake, in your eyes, to leave the pack while carrying your baby. Yes, in reality, it is wrong to leave with an Alpha’s baby, but Alex, that doesn’t give you the right to treat me the way that you are. Alpha or not, you’re supposed to be fair to your pack members, Omega or. Beta shouldn’t make a difference to you”
“I don’t expect you to tell me what to and what not to…”
“Why am I even trying?” She asked, stopping me, shaking her head at me. She looked out the window again before wrapping her arms around herself “treat me as you wish, whether it is good or bad, why should I even care?”
I tightened my grip around the steering wheel as I sped up, turning around to go back to the house; – watching as she took a deep breath as she looked at the road. I stopped in front of the Estate’s gates before looking at her, more specifically, glaring at her “get out”
“Gladly” she said, opening the car’s door. I wrapped my hand around her arm, stopping her tightening my grip as I made her look at me “you are hurting me”
“Good” I said, making sure to keep my eyes on her as my grip grew tighter with each passing second. Her eyes welled up with tears a I felt her bone crack under my grip “I will be sure that you fucking swallow your words and regret ever saying them, Scarlett. However, for now, I will choose to respect that you’re on your postpartum period, and that you just gave birth; therefore, when you enter the house, thank my daughter for saving your life, otherwise, I would have had your head hung on a stake as a reminder to those who think they can cross their limits”
I let her arm go, pushing her back forcefully, watching as her right shoulder hit the window before she looked at the door “now, get the fuck out of my sight, and I don’t want you causing any trouble until I am back. I will make you pay if I hear anything different”
