Scarlett:
My heart raced against my ribcage as I processed what Alexander said.
His eyes were focused on me, studying my expression before I frowned, shaking my head in confusion. This had to be some kind of joke. This couldn’t be the man who was yelling at me since I got here.
“What’s wrong?” Alexander asked, frowning at my expression.
“What kind of game are you playing, Alex?” I asked, glaring at him “because whatever it is, it is not funny”
“Scarlett…”
“No, I know you well enough to know that you do not just change your mind. Whatever it is that is on your mind, spill it out” I said, stopping him. He knew that if anyone knew who he was, who he TRULY was, it was me. The people in the pack saw him as that strong, unbeatable, and harsh Alpha. I knew who he was, and no matter how much he wanted to deny it, the two of us knew well enough that he couldn’t fool me that easily “what game are you playing, Alexander?”
“Scarlett…”
“I asked a question, and I am expecting an answer. I know that you’re going to tell me that I have no right to question you, and in theory, you could be right; but this time, you aren’t, why? Because you’re playing on a very thin line here, and I want to know why” I said, looking him in the eye. He sighed for a second before pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Delilah is coming to the baby shower…”
“Excuse me?” I asked, frowning in confusion.
“I told her that the two of us are now a couple, and I want her to see that. Therefore, I want…”
“The two of us are a couple now, aye?” I asked, stopping him “Alexander, you fucking rejected me, and you actually told her that you did. How did you expect her to buy such a lie? More specifically, why the fuck would you lie to her that way?”
It took everything in me not to smile at the fact that he told her that we were both a couple; however, I knew that he was in love with her, and regardless of what Luna Katlyn told me, I was not going to allow him to use me to forget her. It was something that I was against, more specifically because there would be a time when he would grow tired of me, or even worse, can even go back to her, and I wouldn’t be able to blame him. It would be my fault as I always knew of their love, and it was ME who tried to be a ‘replacement’.
“She was with another man” he said, making me frown “I went to see her, maybe try and bring her back here, but I found that she was with another man. She told me that she was going to come to congratulate the two of us, and one thing lead to the other, and I told her that we were a couple”
I stayed qur..t, processing what he said, digesting the fact that he went to bring her back to the house while I was staying here. That was one thing to prove to me that what I was doing, choosing to ignore what Lupa Katlyn told me, was the right thing. The woman did not know anything about her son, or at least, maybe she hoped for something different; however, hearing him now, I knew that I couldn’t fight a person’s love for someone as deeply.
“Won’t that risk the two of you getting back together?” I asked, shaking my head, ignoring the clench that I felt in my chest. My wolf, who has been quiet and somewhat broken, fought back her whimper as she heard my words. She knew that the man broke the two of us more than he could imagine, and if I was being honest, I didn’t even know whether or not he cared that he did. However, the fact that he went to Delilah to begin with somewhat proved to me that he didn’t.
“It seems like she wants nothing to do with me, at least for now”
“Well, you can’t blame the woman. Our daughter is not even a month old, Alexander” I said, looking at him, studying his expression.
“Yes, and the fact that she was with another man when we weren’t even a month away from one another is bothering me” he said, and I raised an eyebrow.
“In case you haven’t noticed, you were with me while the two of you were a couple” 1 said, making sure to keep my tone as respectful and polite as possible. His eyes studied my expression for a second before I opened my mouth, not wanting him to flip on me “you can’t blame her for how she’s acting, especially since it is out of anger. You should at least try to apologize to her, you know, try and make things right…”
“Scarlett, if she chose against being with me and chose to go after another man, why would I try getting her back? It is her choice, she has to deal with it” Alexander said, stopping me “and why do you care? I believe that this could be in your benefit…”
“Alexander, if I cared about my benefit, then I would have told everyone that the two of us were mates the second we found out about it. I knew that your parents loved me more than they ever and will ever love Delilah, and I knew that I could have taken advantage of it” I said, stopping him, keeping my eyes on his. Alexander frowned, and for the first time in a very long time, I saw genuine confusion in his
expression “I would have fought Delilah when she separated us as friends; however, I always and will always care about you, your happiness, and your sanity. It is one of the reasons why despite the pain of being rejected, I didn’t argue or fight. Yes, I was broken, shattered, humiliated, and confused; but I didn’t argue with you on it and just accepted it”
“I could have done what others would have done and just let the rejection be one sided. You wouldn’t have been able to even get a second chance mate, and that wasn’t something that I wanted for you. I wanted, and still want you to be happy; therefore, if you plan on getting back to Delilah, I would be more than happy to help; however, making her jealous is never going to be the way” I said, keeping my eyes on his. I knew that this was the right thing to do.
Yes, we had our child.
And yes, I still had feelings for him, more than even he could imagine, and more than Delilah would ever have for him.
I knew that the woman simply loved being with him because of his position as Alpha, whereas I, loved him for who he was; however, it was not my duty to show him the difference, and therefore, if he wanted her back, I would be happy to help.
“What about Anastasia?”
“What about her?” I asked, frowning in confusion. My chest aching at the possibility of something happening to her, or him trying to take her from me. The fact that I knew that since I had nothing to actually offer her, lac. legally’ could take her, if I was speaking terms of human law, and in terms of being an Alpha, I, knew that being an Omega meant that if he wanted, he could order me to let her go, and unless I,chose to be a rogue, I was forced to submit.
“If I get baCk to Delilah, what will happen to her?” He asked, raising an eyebrow at me.
“I would-go back to my parent’s house along with her, and I believe that a two minute walk from here to the house wouldn’t harm you” I said, raising an eyebrow at him His eyes studied my expression for a second before shaking his head.
“I was deprived of knowing that I had a daughter…”
“It is not like Anastasia would be any higher than any child you have if you ever make a family with 6elilah” I said, stopping him.
“Exccuse me?” He frowned, and I sighed.
“Do you really think that Delilah would allow my daughter to be your ‘heir’ if she ever had a child?” I asked, looking him in the eye she would treat her like a maid for being an omega blood. Yes, she has your Alpha blood, but speaking in terms of ranks, I believe that any child that Delilah has would be higher in ranks than my daughter would be”
“That is not going to happen…”
“Maybe not today or tomorrow, but twenty years from now, she would be sure to inflict the hate between siblings, and that would either cause them to kill one another, or would break my daughter” I said, getting up from my chair, picking up the tray of food to take to the kitchen. I was no longer hungry, and with my racing mind, I knew that even if I was, I wouldn’t be able to eat anything else if you really love your daughter, Alexander. More specifically, if you really want to be by her side, then you should think of all the odds, and not today, tomorrow, or even ten years from now. No, you need to think of her when she becomes an adult, a young lady, a beauty that would have men following her…”
“You need to think of all the possibilities and know what you want to decide” I said, studying his expression “I’ll go and check on Anastasia before taking a shower, is there anything that you need from me?”
“No, thank you” he said, and I smiled, giving him a small nod.
“You’re welcome, and thank you for listening to me” I said politely “it was nice having a proper conversation with you”
