For the fucking record.
Beta DamonMy eyes widen; some colour probably drains from my face as I gape at my best friend. Now, he's not the Alpha or the man who has managed to turn the pack system upside down; no, he's Nero, the best friend in the whole world and the man who needs my support more than ever. Did he really just say what I think he said? Is Zeno dying? He's an Alpha, but in our pack, he is our Luna now, so I feel the ping of pain hit my heart the moment the thought of possibly losing him crosses my mind. Acting on instinct, I wrap my arms around Nero and pull him into a tight hug. "Cry, brother, let it all out and then we can figure out this mess. He's not dying; he won't fucking die. I won't allow it. If I can do anything about this, I sure as shit will."I've known Nero for decades, and though he isn't a man who's ashamed of his emotions and feelings, this is the first time I see him break down like this. I was there when the whole mess with his asshole of a father went down, and even then, N

THREE DAYS LATER.
ZenoIt's not fair. Whatever Nero has planned, it's not fair. I get it, I've never been the most wanted bachelor around these lands or whatever, but since we wed, I would rather take my responsibilities seriously. Maybe he thinks I told him I love him in the heat of a moment, which isn't true. I love that man and probably will love him till the end of my days, so I believe it would be better if he let me stay near during his rut.I'm not a gentle, breakable, fragile being who couldn't take it rough if he needed me. Isn't the whole purpose of being married, and now also mated, to support each other and never leave each other's side? Instead, he left, God knows where, and I'm stuck in the hospital with Damon. Unlike me, mister, 'I'll never take off my crocs, even if someone threatens to kill me' has full freedom, and he keeps disappearing somewhere at least three times each day while I rot in my hospital bed. Truth to be told, I didn't think I could survive without those pills, but

Maybe this is it.
Alpha HadesThe curtain of lies has fallen, and every bit of disguise has faded. If there is anyone who's more surprised than I am, it's Zeno.He stares at the nurse in pure shock and horror. Honestly, who could dare to blame him for the reaction? I couldn't because how is one supposed to relate to everything he feels now? He has spent his whole life thinking he is someone he isn't. Besides, it's unreal to lead a life thinking you're an Alpha just to be thrown down to the role of an Omega and don't react to the news. I clear my throat and move from the chair to his bed. Once the mattress beneath me dips, Zeno shifts a little closer, and I wrap my arm around him. I've never held anyone feeling as protective as I feel now. It's hard to explain, but it's like all I can do is hold him tight, close, hidden from the entire world. "Could you please explain?" I ask the nurse.Letting Zeno question her now might be a mistake since I know he has to feel overwhelmed. Truthfully, since I'm hi

Accident.
Zeno I know, for a fact, my cheeks burn bright red, and the blush travels down my neck and probably covers my entire body. Nero has one track mind, and though it's something I would hate with the men I dated in the past, there's something in this that makes him appear charming. He's not asking me to sleep with him just because he can. Desire and longing are so evident in his eyes that I think it's infectious. "I don't think the hospital is the best place for us to, you know, enjoy each other," I mutter the excuse. Honestly, his offer is rather tempting. Maybe it's the fact that we could get caught or would have to be really quick to escape the possibility. Or perhaps it's that Nero is so unbelievably sexy; I can't believe a man like him had an interest in me and ended up falling in love with me. My husband chuckles, lets go of me and trudges to the door. I raise an eyebrow as his hand reaches for the door handle, and Nero glances over his shoulder to wink at me. The lock on the

I see you.
Alpha HadesI stay around for as long as the nurses and doctors run around to take Zeno's blood for tests. For the entire time, I hold his hand to show support for everything he has to go through.Not even for a moment can I say that I know what I'm doing. Every time Zeno glances at me, I smile, but the only reaction he shows is a slight frown that keeps deepening. Whatever the fuck I did wrong, it has to be grand because this is the first time he looks at me like this. Even on our wedding day, when he was literally forced into marriage with me, Zeno didn't look at me like this. I want to leave the hospital, to run away from the judgement in his eyes and find myself before I have to face him again. When one of the doctors pulls me aside to speak in privacy, I feel like I can breathe again. Whatever changes in the dynamics of the relationship between Zeno and me has to wait because now there are more important things I have to focus on than a couple of disagreements or misunderstand

This is it; this is the end of my fairytale.
Zeno Something is bothering him, and this something is grand. No matter what, I'm desperate, not just willing, but freaking desperate to stay at Nero's side. Perhaps he started viewing our marriage and relationship differently since he found out I'm an Omega, but I don't want to believe the possibility. The thing is that there couldn't be anyone more surprised at the revelation than me. All my life, I thought I was an Alpha, a unique one at that. Born to lead and show others the way, to take care of and ensure everyone was fine, but on top of that, thanks to the moon I was born under, I've always had more compassion for others and a better understanding of their struggles. But now, as I face the man who stole my heart, I don't know where I stand anymore. Honestly, I wouldn't care if I would be a Beta or Delta for as long as I get to stay by his side. I don't want to make all those wild decisions and pretend I'm fine with the pressure. I'm fucking not; the pressure and stress of th

TW: Sensitive topics here. Remember, this is a STORY, so it's nothing but a part of whatever things I come up with. TW is needed, though. Some inside info about Nero...Alpha HadesIt's clear I'm not the only one who's bothered by his own mind and overthinking. It's not that I mean to make Zeno feel like he doesn't matter or I don't trust him because he does matter, and I do trust him; it's just that I'm not sure how to poke the topic.Should I risk sounding like an absolute asshole to give him the answers he needs? It's not that darn simple. How am I to jump head first into the topic I would avoid even if my life depends on it? Before I can register where I made possibly the biggest mistake of my lifetime, Zeno's already off my lap, hiding in the bathroom. I know he locked the door, I heard the stupid thing, so this should be the best moment to follow him. Well, it would be if it weren't for Damon's voice in my head, warning me about an attack on my pack. I can deal with whatever i

We need a doctor; that bitch stabbed him!
Zeno "So I can leave?" I ask the doctor as he walks me to the door. He nods and smiles. "You can. It's nothing major. To put it simply, it's a side effect your body has because the pills are finally leaving your body for good. However, keep in mind it shouldn't happen again and if there is another mysterious bleeding, please come here and let us know." I promise the doctor I wouldn't risk my health, and if anything were to happen, he would be the first to find out as we leave the room and walk down the hall. He keeps looking at something on my new medical card and hums a weird melody. My mind wanders to Nero. I tried to look for him before I went to the hospital, but nobody could tell me where he was. Well, hopefully, he will appear soon, so I won't feel guilty for holding secrets from him. Not that I intended to, so it's not like anyone could blame me for his absence. The doctor and I nearly reach the hospital's main door when he stops and opens his mouth to speak up, but the s

I thought you left me.
Alpha HadesThe look on Zeno's face would amuse me if it weren't for the words I said. I didn't intend to spill it out, I really didn't, but he's so visibly stressed that I couldn't keep my damn mouth shut. I know the doctors didn't tell him anything about the pregnancy, I barely squeezed the information out of them, but maybe it wasn't the best idea to announce such news without backup from doctors. Zeno has been a bit weird lately, but I wrote it down to lack of those damn pills, and apparently, I was so damn wrong to assume such a thing. "What?" Zeno whispers the word with tears in his eyes. God damn it, I fucked up. I fucked up big freaking time. There is nothing I could say to explain myself or justify the things I did. I shouldn't look for an excuse; instead, I should accept the consequences of my actions, but how the fuck could I predict a pregnancy if both of us thought he was an Alpha when we had unprotected sex? It's not like Alphas can get pregnant, damn it!I suck in a

Whoops.
ZenoNero had to stay in the hospital for observations, but since we just learned about our early parenthood, he sent me back to our bedroom to rest. I wanted to stay in the hospital, but he kept insisting I needed proper rest, so I caved in.Honestly, I am tired beyond limits; I didn't want to show it, so I wouldn't worry Nero, but I'm pretty sure he can see past my walls at this point. As I walk down the halls, the pack members, every single one, who crosses my path, congratulate me. I exaggerated when I said Damon told everyone, but it seems like every little lie can hold the truth. Though a smile spreads across my lips at each kind word coming from them, I can't help but wonder what reaction my father might have. Nero is right; my father is a dick and always has been one, but that doesn't mean he's not my father anymore. I can't choose a parent, and so it happens the cards given to me by life aren't the best, yet, it is what it is. As much as I hope he would be happy to become
