Allie wanted to dance, move along to the music with the people in the living room but her head was hurting. The pumping music wasn't helping either. Seriously who asked her to drink so much? The omega was pretty sure she would wake up with a bump in the morning. How grand! This party hadn't turned out how she expected it to. It wasn't bad, perse, just that Allie felt a bit like dying.

As she was contemplating to vanish to somewhere else, just for the hell of it because Nate was dragging her around as he owned her. His grip around her wrist tightened as they passed through the group of Alphas, eyeing her. The omega ignored them for the sake of her pounding headache, looking around for familiar face.

From the corner of her eyes, she noticed Rachel approaching her, looking far soberer than she had when Allie had last seen her, eyes less befuddled.

"There you go," Nate said, pushing Allie towards Rachel and making her stumble, all without reason. He was so annoying, honestly. "Rachel, get her out of here and give your friend something for her head. She hit herself in the bathroom."

Because of you!

Allie scoffed. "Why don't you fuck off!"

"Allie" Her roommate gasped, eyes wide.

The Alpha, on the other hand, was not at all bothered by her crass mouth. Instead, he leaned forward and smiled at her. Teeth and all. "Is that your polite way of thanking me?"

"No" Allie blinked her lashes at him.

"You wound me; beta" Nate clutched at his chest.

"That's the plan exactly."

"Aren't you—"

Rachel loudly cleared her throat, nudging her friend in the process. "If I may interrupt your weird flirting we should go now, Allie."

And this, finally, made her give up. It was sobering her like a punch to the face. Allie glanced around only to realise that its late at night and some of them already started filtering out. The omega swallowed the lump that was forming in her throat.

"Let's go, Rach," She quietly mumbled, gaze lowered and feeling more defeated than ever.

"I can drop you both to the hostel" The Alpha offered. Why would he want to do that? Unless he planned something which Allie would not fall for. She's better than that.

"Thanks for the offer. We will manage" Rachel politely smiled. Her friend didn't hesitate, only stepped closer to the omega and wound an arm around her shoulders, guiding her out the front door gently.

Neither of them offered a goodbye to Nate, and when Allie dared to throw one last glance over her shoulder, he was already staring at her. She quickly turned around and started walking.

***

The next morning while sitting in the lecture, she dreaded the thought of her afternoon's dance practice. Her legs were jiggling restlessly, and the girl sitting in front of her had thrown her several annoyed glances already for it. Allie couldn't care less. The omega was knackered, her head still hurt from the blow she had taken on the party night and her heart was beating somewhere in her guts, erratically, making her nauseous.

As she stepped out of the lecture hall after an excruciating two hours of learning about the attention span in psychology, she had nothing in mind but the need to catch another few hours of sleep before practice. Of course, that's when someone stumbled into her, sending her books almost crashing to the ground. Also the stranger managed to save it in the last minute.

He looked familiar, but she was unable to place him. The guy had so incessantly stared at her throughout the time she started walking from the class. And now, standing in front of her, the beta looked so damn pleased.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," He apologised, but it didn't sound at all sincere. The beta was smiling.

Allie nodded, ready to leave the guy behind when she was held back by a hand around her upper arm. The omega was a second away from furiously hissing at the Beta. How was it that people always felt entitled to touch her?

"You're Allie, right? I have seen you in the field with Ashton several times. I remember your face," He continued, and she hid her eye roll. Most of them are on the field because it's the most open and secluded university area. Allie wanted to scoff, but she bit her tongue.

Instead, she replied as politely as she could. "I am, yeah. Sorry, but I don't recognise you."

"No worries. I wouldn't blame you. I know there are many students in that field every day but you just — you stand out. You're lovely" He grinned at her.

Was that supposed to impress her? She refrained from rolling her eyes.

"Thanks ... I guess," She mumbled, desperate to get away from him already. The omega hitched her bag up higher on her shoulder and let her eyes roam the almost cleared out corridor. Where was everyone?

"Hey, I'm Ben, by the way. I am also a part of the football team." The beta, Ben apparently, held out his hand for her to shake. Umm...who does that? Hesitant, she bought up her hand, and she did, even though Allie rather would walk away from this.

"Nice to meet you," She said, reluctantly. "Hey, sorry, but I need to get going. I have my dance class in a few minutes."

The betas face fell a little. Still, his lips curved in a smile. "No problem! I'll see you in the field. And maybe we can grab a coffee after?"

Oh no! Allie just knew it would come to this. The omega certainly didn't want to 'grab a coffee' with a beta who had creepily observed her on the field for the better part of his time there. She nodded anyway, smile strained and eyes reserved. "See you."

***

If she's going to get through her day, Allie needed something. A coffee for starters. That's why she found herself ordering for one in the cafeteria.

"Hi, Allie"

The omega jumped away from the greeting, her mouth slacked. Blinking at the person in front of her, a frown settled on her face. How did she not see him coming? She took several deep breaths to calm herself before meeting his eyes. "What do you want?"

The Alpha took one step closer with his hands clasped in front of himself. "I want to apologise to you."

She arched her brows at that. That's new. He's never that straightforward with her. "Oh, yeah? And what brought this on? You had a sudden awakening?"

Just then, her coffee was slammed on the counter. Unfortunately for Allie, Rachel was not working behind the counter, so she had no choice but to talk with Nate. What other excuses could she make at that moment?

The Alpha jogged beside her quick strides, staring at her. "No, I don't have awakenings sadly. I've thought a lot since our first meeting, and I spent a lovely evening with you yesterday, so it hit me."

"Hit you?"

He hummed. "Yes. I realised that I wasn't treating you like the beautiful soul you are. I was treating you like a game that I have to win. And that's very wrong." Nate shook his head. "That's not how I make friends. You should know that I have a lot of friends because I excel at it."

The omega turned to stare at him. "So you're a rich social butterfly slash football player with narcissistic tendencies? Good to know."

"Does that mean you accept my apology?"

"No."

His mouth flopped open. "Why? I'm genuine, I swear."

Allie set the cup on her table and sat down. She had a hard time understanding why Nate couldn't leave her alone. "What are you apologising for?"

"Um..." He exhaled and shook his arms out as if he was about to catch a pass. "For coming on too strong and going to your running spot and being loud in class and making that insensitive comment about your mother. That was awful, and I am sorry. Old habit, I reckon." The Alpha ran his hand over the back of his hair, looking down at the ground. "You were right to call me on it. It was not nice. I need more people like you around me, to be honest. I need people to call me on my shit."

She flickered her eyes away from him. "It's not just coming on too strong," she said, quieter. "It's..." The omega licked her lips, unsure of what to say. Allie crossed her arms against her chest, raising her brow at him. "What do you even want from me?"

Her posture was closed, yet still relaxed. The omegas stare was firm and unwavering, but her eyes looked genuinely curious. Allie wanted to know why he was so incessant on talking with her.

"I want to get to know you," Nate answered.

Allie scrunched her face. "But why?"

  • Alphas Baby   Part 50: Epilogue

    As soon as he stepped out of the field, Nate was hounded by the reporters. He opened his mouth, but before he could say something, they all crowded him. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed his manager urging him to speak. The Alpha no choice but to stand there and answer the questions.The reporter opened her mouth, undoubtedly about to dig a little deeper. He turned away from the reporter, his eyes scanning the joyous faces of his teammates, Coach, trainers and co-trainers, medics and a dozen assistants, smiling broadly. Winning indeed bought a different kind of energy around the stadium."Congratulations, Mr Harper!"The Alpha nodded his head. "Thank you.""Are you here alone?""Yes"Why did they care? He still scored the winning goal, and their team won. What if no one came to see him? The reporters always asked him ridiculous q

  • Alphas Baby   Part 49

    As soon as the injured Alpha gave up, Allie rushed towards Nate. He was fighting so many of them on his own, which didn’t sit right with her. She noticed that Nates pack was exhausting their resources, sending the pack soldiers in front as much as they could. They also had to defend the packhouse from being raided and protect the safe room.Nate twisted the arm of the attacker, turning his head towards her. “Allie, why are you here? You need to go back!”“I don’t want to leave your side”, She yelled over the commotion, kicking the person who tried to swing by.The injured attacker pushed himself backwards to travel in her direction at a faster pace. She was overconfident and ignored him.The omega didn't expect the attacker to reach up, grip her forearm, and extract his claws to pierce deeply under her skin. Allie hollered in sharp p

    Allies eyes comically widened as those words registered. She should have known that Harold would follow through with his plan. After all, he's an Alpha with a mission. A dangerous one at that. Her eyes shifted towards Nate, who visibly tensed at Sams words. "My pack is ready!" Nate clicked his tongue. "That werewolf can do whatever he wants. We will still win." The air in the room shifted. She didn't want Nate to have anything to do with that despicable man. Just the thought of him being all alone against him made her stomach curl in fear. As if the Alpha heard her thoughts, Nate cleared his throat. "Don't worry; my pack will be helping me." Sam heaved a sigh. "Wish I could help you in some way." "You helped. We had no idea that they are ready. Now we can be more cautious." "I mean by fighting against them" His voice raised. "They threatened to kill my baby sister, and I have done nothing about it." Allie cleared her throat, placing a hand on his. Tears dribbled down her chin, v

  • Alphas Baby   Part 47

    The Alpha pheromones were the first thing she registered, the scent heady and safe. Allie roused slowly, her eyes fluttering open only to squeeze shut at the bright light. Soft tufts of hair sprawled over the pillow where she pressed her face and whined. It's then the omega realised that someone was next to her.She felt so warm. So safe.Taking a deep breath, Allie stared at the person beside her, the contact between them burning with tenderness and comfort, intense and grounding.His hand was cradling her bump, face so close that she could see all his tiny freckles marring his skin. Nate let out a soft sigh, his eyes still closed. Allie leaned back into the embrace slowly, sighing in contentment.What was Nate doing beside her?Then she recalled everything."Allie, I had no idea what to do, so I called Nate," Rachel had whispered, running

  • Alphas Baby   Part 46

    Sitting in front of her, Nate appeared calm, which she noted bitterly. The Alpha always looked collected and sure of himself. She envied that, even more now. Allie struggled to find proper words, while Nate didn't have to worry about any of it.Even though she may be glowing, according to all her friends but the omega was also sporting dark eye bags and messy, flattened hair. She couldn't sleep the night before, worrying about her talk with Nate. The next morning, Allie slept in the bed for a long time, only waking up to her afternoon alarm."Allie?" The Alpha called out, his voice cautious and hesitant.She swallowed the lump in her throat. "Sorry, I got distracted."Nate sighed. The Alpha glanced at her before tugging on his roots; eyes narrowed together. "Why did you message me, Allie?"Even though his tone was polite and unaffected, Nate appeared irked. He glanced down

  • Alphas Baby   Part 45

    The omega was supposed to be dancing. It was her haven, something she did to take her mind off things. Due to her pregnancy and lack of suppressants, Allie chose to do online classes. She had enough drama in her life already.By the end of her dance class, they switched to a different routine which Allie was well aware of. Still, she couldn't perform it. That's why the instructor called her up immediately after class to reprimand the omega more blatantly for not paying enough attention."Allie", The dance instructor cleared her throat, taking a step forward. "I heard that you're expecting"At the mention of the baby, Allie blushed, her hand automatically coming up to cradle her mini bump. It's not fully visible under her practice leotard, but there was a noticeable curve where there hadn't been one before.Rachel couldn't stop cooing about it, talking to her belly as if the ba
