Alpha's Little Omega 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 41 - 챕터 50

Julian’s POVI don’t think Keiran is handling everything life is currently throwing at him half as well as he’s pretending. But, then again, even though he’s my fated mate, we haven’t known each other very long, so his coping strategies simply might not look the same as mine.Still, my alpha instincts bristle at the worry in those beautiful blue-gray eyes every time some new complication pops up. I hate that he doesn’t fully trust me yet—trust us yet—and my wolf just wants to take him back upstairs and keep him naked and satisfied until he can fully relax into our mating bond.Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen today and the best I can do is keep him close, reassure him, and hope he’ll realize I’m not going anywhere despite what the damage from his childhood and his experiences the last four years on the run might be telling him.I swear, if Randy wasn’t already dead, I’d kill him myself, along with everyone else responsible for putting all this shame and doubt into my beautifu

Keiran’s POVA single conversation can’t solve every problem. My standing here in Madison with the pack—and with Julian—might feel a little more solid at the moment, but that doesn’t mean everything is instantly fixed.Besides the fact that there’s still the whole male pregnancy issue and figuring out what to do about Ben, William is going to need to be dealt with.I haven’t been here long enough to truly understand the dynamic between Julian and the elders, but I know it’s not good for the pack. But that’s an issue we can deal with later. William isn’t going anywhere.I’m not passing up this opportunity to steal a little cuddle time with my mate. So, I just sit here in Julian’s lap, his arms curled around me, as we simply enjoy each other’s presence. The mating bond is a cheerful hum under my skin as the closeness helps cement it even further.Emotional intimacy is just as important as physical, and that’s something Julian and I haven’t had enough time to build. I still have doubts,

Julian’s POVWilliam watches Keiran leave with an unreadable expression, then turns his attention to me. He seemed caught off guard by Keiran and I standing together when he first entered, but he quickly reverts to his ‘I know what’s best’ attitude as soon as the door closes behind my mate. The elder lifts his chin, doing his best to look down his nose at me, and purses his lips like he just sucked on a lemon.I wish I could just throttle that condescending attitude out of him. Or at least take a swipe at him with my claws. But neither of those things would be a good idea.As much as I hate the current situation with the elders, their input can be helpful and, if possible, I’d rather have their support than not. As a group, they have enough sway with the pack that they could make my life very difficult if they wanted. So, for now, I’ll play nice…. well, I won’t draw blood anyway.I lean back in my chair, crossing my arms in front of my chest. “How can I help you, William?”“You can he

Keiran’s POVI have to say, of all the ways for my old pack to screw me over, this has got to be one of the most ironic. They didn’t want me when they had me, even before they knew I’m an omega. But now that someone else does? They think they can just waltz back into my life and I’ll go willingly.Nothing can make me go back there.Or can it?I shoot a worried look at Remy. “Can they do that? Make me go back to Alabama?”Remy’s brow furrows, his face wearing an expression that I can’t quite read. “I don’t know,” he says after an uncomfortably long pause.Isn’t that just great? The person who normally has all the answers doesn’t have one for this. That definitely doesn’t bode well for my chances.I blow out a breath and try to calm my racing heart—and brain. “Okay. So what’s the plan? Do I get a lawyer? Wait… Do you know any lawyers? Because I don’t. I’ve never needed one before because I don’t think I’ve ever had a hearing for, well, anything. Ever. Not even that time I wasarrested t

Keiran’s POVNothing can kill my floaty, contented post-orgasm slash post-run feelings than bad news. By the look on Remy’s face, whatever information he has to impart is not only going to kill those feelings, but violently murder them. That’s kind of how my life has gone lately—amazing highsimmediately followed by crushing lows. Thankfully, my mate and my new family are worth every bit of it.I just hope I get to keep them.I glance up at Julian, then rest my forehead against his arm. The longer I can avoid literally facing whatever Remy has to say, the longer I can avoid it altogether… Right? Too bad my mate isn’t really the avoidant type.“What did you find out?” asks Julian, wrapping an arm around myshoulders as he pulls me closer to his chest.“I looked as into as many pack codes as I was able. The older they are, the more extreme the restrictions when it comes to mating alliances, especially regarding omegas. Depending on which set of laws we’re working with, we might have a p
