"You called me Alpha." Ben said as he and Emily both entered the Cambell mansion.
Amelia, who is standing with her mother, tries to give Emily any kind of signal so she can look at her. She tries to call her many times, but she doesn't receive her call.
"Well, we understand it's necessary for all of us to talk about your and Amelia's relationship," replied Brandon, sitting up straight.
"Sorry, sir, but what relationship?" Ben replied with a small smile, "We already broke up."
Jen looked towards her daughter in confusion but didn't find any answers.
"I think it's not wiser for an Alpha like you to leaves your unborn child alone," said Bradnon, looking at the young Alpha.
"You need to take responsibility, young man."
"Ben dear," Jen starts, "I understand that we are not ok with your and Amelia's relationship, but now. Now things are different."
Both Ben and Emilly look towards Amelia in confusion, who shook her head and tried to give them a short signal.
"Ma'am, sir, I really don't understand what's going on."
"We understand that you and Amelia are now old enough to make your own decisions," said Bradnon slowly and a bit uneasy. "Even if that means having a child before she even presents."
"What is my Alpha trying to say, Ben?" spoke Jen, trying to get to the point: "We understand you are not old enough to take responsibility for your child, but me and my Alpha, we both help you two. Amelia is our only daughter."
"I don't know what you are trying to say, ma'am, but I assure you, I never did anything to Amelia sexually; we didn't even kiss yet." interrupted Ben.
Amelia bit her lip. Now what?
"So, you two didn't do it yet. So how the hell did she get pregnant?" Bradnon asked, but this time he used his alpha tone.
"No, I didn't. You can ask my mate, sir." Ben said as he wrapped his hand around Emilly and kissed her head.
Amelia feels like the world around her has stopped moving.
"Uncle, aunt. I am Ben mate, and yes, he didn't do anything to Amelia. I don't want to tell you guys, but on my birthday, we visit a club, and the moment me and Ben look towards each other, we know we are both mates. I tried to tell this to Amelia, but she got drunk and started dancing with some unknown Alpha."
"Emilly, what are you saying?"
"So, you are saying that MY DAUGHTER sleeps with some unknown Alpha." Brandon and he stand up and look towards the couple.
"Ask her, sir; we don't have any idea." Ben said and looked towards Amelia with cold eyes.
"You two can go." Brandon ordered everyone inside the room and saw how he was trying to control his anger.
Emilly looks towards Amelia and gives her a sympathy look, and she leaves with Ben.
"Dad. Dad I am sorry... I"
Before Amelia could say anything, her dad looked at her with furious eyes. He grabbed her shoulder with two hands.
"Take it back! Take it back! My daughter never does things like this! Tell me this isn't true!"
Amelia looked him in the eyes but said nothing. She started to panic as her dad released her death grip on her. "You are not my daughter." He made a fist and slapped her face.
Amelia's hands went to the place where he just hit her. And she felt a sickening pain. She wanted to do something or say something, but she froze in place.
"Barndon-" She heard her mom's voice. But before she could finish, her father hit her again.
"Alpha!" Her mother laid her hand on her mate's shoulder. "Enough".
Only then did Amelia notice that she was now lying on the ground. She couldn't remember falling, though.
"You are not my daughter," Bradnon repeated. "I do not want you to be here any longer. Now get out. I Brandon Cambell, as a leader of this land, banished you, Amelia Cambell. You are not going to get a penny from here or even after I die. You are not my daughter anymore. GET OUT AND TAKE YOUR BASTARD CHILD WITH YOU!" Bradnon said it in a furious voice.
Amelia looked at her mother, but she wouldn't look her in the eyes. She felt a pain in her chest; her own parents, whom she loves more than anything, kicked her out.
"I said go! Don't make me say it again!"
Even though Amelia's face hurt, she jumped up and sprinted out of the house. She wanted to get out of this place as fast as possible."
After running for more than five minutes, she looks and sees Ben and Emilly standing in front of her, and they are kissing. Amelia feels like her blood is boiling; why does Emilly lie to her father? Why do they do this?
If they are mates', why didn't they say anything to her?
"Why do you do this to me?" Amelia asks as she comes and stands in front of them, dreading the answer.
"Oh, you want to know?" Ben starts as he kisses Emilly one last time. "I have been cheating on you with Emilly for five months, and I want to be with her because I know she is going to be my mate.".
Amelia felt her world crash around her. She had loved Ben so much that she thought the alpha was the one. She had imagined herself becoming Ben's mate more times than she would care to admit.
"How could you cheat on me with my own best friend?" Amelia looked at him; she didn't even glance at Emilly.
"Ex-best friend," Emilly said sarcastically as she joined the conversation. "Alpha had no qualms about having an affair with me. Look, Amelia, you are very rich, and that's why we go with your sorry ass, but now..." She smirks as she looks toward Amelia's stomach.
It took all of Amelia's willpower to stop her tears from falling. She refused to cry in front of strangers. "You two never cared about me, did you?"
Both Emilly and Ben laughed cruelly. "No, we were only using you because your leader is Alpha's daughter."
"And yes, one more thing, Amelia." Emilly started, "I hope you like the drink I sent you. You know it's not easy to find that drug."
Amelia's hands curled into fists; anger was starting to replace her pain. She wants to kill them both.
"You know what, Ben? I'm glad this happened; I would never have been happy mated to you, and you, Emilly, just pray to God that we never meet in the future," Amelia said fiercely as she took a step towards them.
"AMELIA."
She fitched as he heard her mother's voice, who somehow also followed her.
Jen came near her daughter and gave Ben and Emilly leave.
"Let's go; you are going to pack all your things. I already talked to your aunt Jia and tried to convince your father. You are going to live with her." Her voice was cold, which is really different from how she talks to her.
"That's the only thing I can do for you. After this, you don't have any mothers, and I don't have any daughters."
It's taken Amelia 30 minutes to pack her whole life into her bag. She takes all her savings and branded items. As much as he doesn't want to take any of those, she doesn't have a choice.
The silence was comforting as she stepped into the main hall, the only sounds coming from her feet as she walked across the marble floor towards her father's office.
Amelia took a deep breath as she stood at the door, suddenly wondering if this was a good idea at all. She had always been close to her father. Her hand hovered on the door handle, only hesitating for a moment before pulling it open.
"Hey, dad." It was two words—hardly anything sentimental—but Amelia could already feel her throat get tighter. "I uh... I know I shouldn't be here. You'd probably scold me if you could. But you can't. Because you're..." She couldn't get the word out; it felt like poison in her mouth, and for a second, she thought she might be sick.
"Growing up, you'd always talk about how great our family was and how I'd bring home the perfect Alpha man and start a new line of family to carry our legacy. And I am sorry, dad. Maybe this is the last time I am calling you dad." The tightening in her throat grew worse with each word, and she wasn't aware of the tears falling down her cheek.
"And I was so angry with myself. I wanted you to be proud. But I was a disappointment. I promise I will never show you my face, and I promise I will teach my children good things. I told them about you and mom. I told them how great you are."
Bradnon's back is facing her, but she can see how his shoulder is shaking. She made her father cry. Because of her stupidity, her whole family is destroyed.
"Car is ready."
Amelia looks towards her mother, who just entered the room with tears on her cheeks.
"You can go now."
Amelia looks towards her father, who commands her, "Yes, sir."
And with that, Amelia leaves her childhood home and packs to raise her child alone without knowing what is waiting for her.
6 Years Later: "Alec, Ethan, wake up, darling. Mama needs to dress you up so you can meet Ady." Amelia chirps with fake excitement in the silence of a very cold Tuesday morning. She looks down at her watch, sighing at the thought of being late for work for the third time that week. "Babies, please?" Amelia starts to give up when she barely gets any lucid reactions after ten seconds pass. With another longing sigh, she surrenders. "Fine, I'm letting you two sleep some more, but promise me you have to wake up in a few minutes, okay?" There's the shame Amelia knows she'll endure when she arrives at work and judging stares are shot her way by her office mates. All the looks dig deep into the skin of her face. She leaves the room to pack her lunch and Alec and Ethan's daycare backpack. Since she's working until five in the evening, the sweet omega next to her block, whom she calls Adria, takes on the responsibility of watching her two hearts while she's at work. Adira doesn't really c
The elegant but heavy-looking oak door is staring judgmentally at her when Amelia stops in front of the VIP room.It's not like she's never faced VVIPs before; it's just impossible considering she works in the hotel.She drags her feet with faltering speed, obviously taking her time before knocking on the door, while 101 reasons and fears cloud her mind.Knock. Knock.Before she even thinks of knocking again, like any other normal person would do when they didn't get an instant response, she hears a low grunt followed by a deep voice asking her to come in. Amelia twists the knob with her sweaty little hand, not even daring to peek in her headfirst, and just quickly steps inside before turning her back towards the person she is about to face, facing the door while carefully closing it.Then it hit her, and the scent hit her."Mate."Amelia was startled by the voice; she quickly looked towards the owner of the dominant voice.She gaped at the handsome man in his robe, who was standing i
Amelia tries hard to stop the Alpha when the Alpha is going to give her the final bite. The high alpha just ignored her and continued to lap her tongue over Amelia's skin, the deep growl grew louder, and he pumped the last few drops of his saliva into Amelia. Amelia was panicking and speechless because Alpha didn't tell her anything about mating. Fuck. What is she going to tell her children's when they saw the bond mark, even they don't know about it they will still ask questions."Sebestian, stop it please."The alpha finally pulled out from her neck, heavy breath dropped out through his nose, chest heaving and eyes starting to become clearer than before signaling his rut had come to its end. He blinked rapidly while looking around, eyebrows rising at the shaking and crying Amelia, all confused until his brown eyes fell on to the red moist on the area next to Amelia's shoulder."What the fuck?!""Sebestian...""Oh god, I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I-"Amel
3 hours later: -Amelia wipes her threatening tears and quickly gets herself together before continuing to exit the building. She literally has no time to think about the insult and the broken bond when she has another problem coming up, after leaving the Alpha room the first thing she did is take shower and cry her hurt out.As much as she wants to leave the building soon, she can't go home like this.Her eyes widen as she looks down to her watch when it shows her it is one minute before the last bus starts to leave. There's no way she could reach the station by then, but she keeps running anyway. The busy street only makes her steps harder and soon as she reaches the bus stop, she sees the bus departing, leaving a stunned Amelia far behind in the middle of the street crowd.No.No. No. No. This can't be happening.Seriously, what did she even do to deserve such a shitty day? Everything has gone wrong since the morning and if Amelia thought the universe didn't hate her that much when
"I've never thought someone as stern as you could offer those kind words, but thanks again." Amelia jokes, amused.Steaven James always stays professional and cold but look like today is full of surprise for Amelia."Eh, looks are deceiving they say." Steaven winks, smirking as the blush on Amelia's cheeks darkens. "Anyway, I'm bringing you home, are you fine with that?"Amelia hesitates at first, but since she has no choice, she agrees."Mr. James, can we stop at the pharmacy first? I need to get Alec's and Ethan medicines."Steaven nods before adding, "You can call me Steaven, we're outside of the workplace and I hope you don't mind if I call you Amelia.""Oh, sure, S-Steaven." The alpha smiles in satisfaction at the mutual agreement and soon, the engine of the black Bugatti roams loudly as they glide on the road.They arrive in front of the flat area when the digital clock of Steaven's car strikes 8:00pm, the wheels halt on the dark tar that covers the parking lot bringing them to
"Amelia?" Steaven carefully calls as he sees how Amelia is whispering to her son's, afraid that he might scare both of them even more.The omega quickly looks up and motions for Steaven to continue as she straightens her body before turning to properly face to him."Would you like it if I give you a day off for tomorrow? I mean, you obviously need it to look after your poor boys, and Alec and Ethan probably want their mama to be with mama, am I right?" Steaven smiles when he finally gets the attention from Amelia's sons as the little boy's looks up to him, clearly curious as to why their name is being mentioned.The alpha's grins even wider when both of them nods, agreeing with him with a little smile, but for Steaven it still counts considering the boys was being a bit hostile to him at first. Alec then reaches out to touch Amelia's arm, silently pleading for her to stay at home for tomorrow."Mama, can you please not go to work tomorrow? I don't like to feel lonely when I'm sick." h
They weren't expecting someone, not like there's anyone ever just casually visit them without informing Amelia through a phone call first. Even her evil aunt would tell her at least three days prior to the day she'd arrive in city, but that only happens twice a year due to their packed schedule with her aunt working as a doctor.Revelation is a drop of a bombshell once she opens the door just to face the one and only Steaven James. The man is standing in his glorious work outfit, Amelia can literally smell the thousands dollar worth of famous designer touch that is smugly cloaking his sturdy, muscular body, screaming alpha. Face smirking at the gaping look coming from Amelia, a slight upward quirk to his lips when he greets, "Good evening, Amelia.""O-oh, hi. Good evening, Mr. Steaven." A surprise squeak coming from Amelia is what makes Steaven quickly state the reason for his arrival."Sorry to bother you but I just want to give this to boys." He holds out a transparent bag full of w
"Well, you're right. Uhmm, I'm...gonna go now.""Well, drive safe. And again, thank you again for stopping by, and boys' gift, and... the flower." She walks Steaven through the door, biting her lower lips to suppress a large smile."You're welcome. Goodbye, boys Goodbye Amelia. See you when I see you.""Bye, nice Steavy! See you when I see you too!" Both adults let out a laughter as the boy's continues to look at Amelia's phone screen.The alpha leans down to hug Amelia, pulling her into his embrace and instantly bringing a shock expression to the omega's face. Amelia can smell the cinnamon earthy pheromones coming from Steaven's neck, almost drooling at the alpha's scent. She, once again, flushes with a very hot face once the taller man pulls away."Take care." And for the second time of the week, he left Amelia with a skipping heart, and this time with a coy wink.God.The weekend slipped away faster than Amelia was hoping that she couldn't help but whine a little on a warm Monday m
