Alexander:
“Are you going to announce the fact that we’re mates?” Scarlett asked, taking me off guard. I frowned at her question, not really understanding the reason behind it, and looking down at her lap, she seemed to shy back.
“I don’t see the reason to do so considering that we’re not a couple, nor have I marked you However, I am very curious to know why you asked” I said, raising an eyebrow.
“Don’t you think that people would wonder about the reason for me being pregnant and not Delilah. You know, as far as everyone knew, the two of you were the power duo” she said, making my chest ache. It was true, despite knowing that if I wanted my daughter’s safety, I couldn’t be with Delilah, not for now at least, but that didn’t mean that my love for my woman wasn’t true. Hell, the pain I felt with her not being around was one that I couldn’t describe, and being forced to live with Scarlett, I knew that I could at least try to mend the scars formed; however, the woman kept bringing her up every few hours, and that fact didn’t help.
“I believe that my relationship with Delilah did not concern you or anyone around. Now, you have two options, either you start minding your limits, on your own terms, and know that you should never question your Alpha, or I force you to mind them” I said coldly. Her eyes studied my expression for a second before she sighed.
“Why do you hate me so much?” She asked, frowning in confusion “what did I ever do to you that makes you doubt me so much?”
“I don’t doubt you and to hate you would mean that you mean something to me. I hate to break it to you, but you don’t” I said, glaring at her. She shook her head in response, making me frown.
“For a person who says that I mean nothing to them, you are arranging a picnic, with the food that I like, and under a big oak tree like we used to plan as kids. The anger that you feel towards me, and the sudden hate, neither one of them could be for ‘no reason’, and to prove it to you…”
“What do you mean to prove it to me?” I asked, stopping her, frowning in confusion.
“When Anastasia is old enough to sit on her own, I would know that her muscles have strengthened a bit, be more open into looking for a relationship. I used to deprive myself of that, for my own personal reasons, I never saw it as important; however, I believe that searching for a relationship wouldn’t harm me now, and considering that you don’t really care about me…”
“You are the mother of my child…”
“That does not make me your slave, Alexander” she said, stopping me “as long as the two of us have made the choice to stay together, co-parent; however, live like friends. I am aware that you telling me that you want nothing with Delilah is only temporary, and if not Delilah, another woman. I don’t know why, but you seem to resent me with each passing second; therefore, I don’t mind finding someone who would actually look at me…”
“You are not going to find anyone” I said, stopping her.
“So, in your opinion, I am going to stay single for life? Don’t you think that it is unfair for me?” She asked, shaking her head at me “don’t I have the right to at least have someone to love and cherish me’?”
“If you are willing to be in a relationship, then you are not going to see my daughter…”
“That is not up to you to decide” she said, her lone colder than ever “I believe that you are aware of nature’s rules and laws. A baby always goes to her mum, and…”
“If the mother is capable of handling the child. As far as I saw, and even showed you, as a pregnant woman, you couldn’t handle feeding yourself, how the fuck are you going to manage handling, raising, educating, and feeding your child? I am literally only speaking basics” I asked, glaring at her “I didn’t even mention her getting sick, her needing to get her vaccines…”
“Believe it or not, if a mother wants to do something for her kid, she would. Whether or not you like it, I will fight for my daughter, and I believe that you know me enough to know that I would not submit to your stupidity. Anyhow, considering that you do not wish to announce us as mates…”
“If you think that you’re twisting my hand by behaving the way that you are; you are very wrong. Believe me, the LAST thing you want to do is mess with me, Scarlett” I said, giving her my final warning before laying down on the blanket. Scarlett didn’t say a word after that and instead, she chose to turn around and look at the sky, probably knowing that she failed at getting what she wanted.
Her heart raced, and despite that, I didn’t bother looking at her to see what she was doing, already knowing that she would be scrolling through her phone; however, it wasn’t until I heard her calling someone that I sat up, frowning in confusion.
“Dylan, hey…” she said, her voice somewhat broken. I looked at her to find her eyes bloodshot red despite no tears falling from them. The smile that was on her face when the two of us woke up completely faded, and before I knew it, it was replaced with a frown that not only made my wolf whimper, but also made my chest ache.
“I am fine, but I need a small favor” “Sure, what’s wrong?”
“Can you please pick me up? I was at the park and I really don’t want to take a cab back home If you could…?”
“Sure, just send me your location, I’ll be right over” he said, stopping her as she got up.
“Thank you” she said, her voice breaking slightly before she cleared her throat, fiddling through her phone as she sent him our location “alright, I sent it”
“Got it” he said “I’ll be there in fifteen minutes” “Okay, thank you”
“You’re welcome, love”
They both hung up before she looked down at me. Her eyes were filled with hate, and wrapping her arms around herself she kneeled down to get her bag before looking at me “I believe that you can call your ex to enjoy the night with you. I won’t be coming back to the pack this evening”
“Where the fuck are you going?”
“Does it concern you?” She asked, glaring daggers at me “I told you not to threaten me with my daughter, and it is getting on my fucking nerve that you keep insulting me for the fact that I am not as ‘financially’ capable or stable as you are. Fine, have your mate come over, and if you don’t come searching for me forty-eight hours later, if not less, wanting me back, then consider me gone for good”
“Be careful what you’re wishing for, Scarlett” I said, glaring at her.
“I believe that it is YOU who should be careful this time, Alexander” she said, shaking her head at me “the thing is, whether you like it or not, I am Anastasia’s daughter, and not anyone else. If you believe that another woman would be willing to handle my child, be my guest. I am done trying to satisfy you, even if it means ripping my own heart out in the process”
“Scarlett…”
Her phone rang, breaking our conversation, making my heart drop. I looked at her, studying her expression for a second before she got up “you made all the choices so far; therefore, I believe this time, it is time for ME to make mine”
“You are abandoning your daughter…”
“No, I am not” she said, stopping me “God knows how much this is breaking my soul; however, I do not want my daughter to see her mother growing up weak, frightened, insecure, or anxious, therefore, if losing her means that I would not be that bad influence on her, I would do that…”
“Scarlett, stop acting like…”
“Goodbye, Alexander”
