(Scarlett)

I watched as Alexander walked toward his office after setting the paper on the coffee table.

His eyes were completely defeated, and the pain that I felt because of that was one that I did not know how to describe. Mostly, because I didn’t even know how I felt.

A part of me, the rational one, told me that what I was feeling was absurd, especially since I knew how he felt about me since day one when he rejected me. It was my initial fault that I couldn’t manage myself when other girls my age could live on their own. And another part, the emotional one, was in more pain than ever. The fact that he was plotting on killing me was something that not only broke my heart and soul, but also made me want to be anywhere but here.

I stared at the paper for a second before picking it up and following him to the office, and walking inside, I didn’t bother knocking on the door, knowing that he was already aware of my arrival. “Why are you doing this to me, Alexander?” I asked, shaking my head in question. In all honesty, it was all that I could even think of asking “why is it whenever I try to forgive and forget, something like this happens? Why don’t you just give me the peace of mind, and the…”

“Do you even think that I want this, Scarlett? Because if you do, you are going to f*ucking prove to me that you know nothing about me” he said, stopping me.

“For a man who wanted me dead…”

“Yes, I did” he said, making me frown in confusion “I wanted to be with Delilah at the time because f*ucking hell, it was all I could think of. I wanted nothing to do with you, and I wanted nothing to do with my daughter who was yours. But I learned short after that, that I was wrong. I learned that the woman that I should have been with from day one is you. Yes, it could be a bit too late for me to just come out and say that. And yes, I know that you could just deny even forgiving or forgetting what I did, but f*ucking hell does it hurt me to think of you with someone else now”

“Who the bloody hell said anything about me being with someone else?” I asked, frowning in confusion.

“I did” he said, stopping me “I f*ucking did, why? Because one day the two of us are happy and in love, and one MINUTE later, the two of us are fighting like two enemies who would be more than willing to kill one another. No, I do not blame you for any of the fights and arguments, I swear, I do not. But I hate it that they happen. I hate it that I tend to be doing something because I f*ucking know that I am in love with you and that I know that I am more than proud of the woman that you have become only for a b*itch like Delilah to come and just ruin it all”

“Alexander, how many times did you sleep with Delilah after you and I…?”

“I stopped seeing her long before the two of us became real. And if you are worried about me seeing her when you were at Nikita’s, getting your training, then you can rest assured, I wouldn’t have done that to you. I was madly in love with you at the time, and I was waiting for the light of my house to come back, and in case you forgot, I was going to the forest to see you, and it was you who was refusing admitting me inside. No, I will not question your reasons or say that you were wrong in any way, because you were not, but I am just stating the facts that have happened right now” he said and I sighed as I gripped on the paper as if my life depended on it. The thing was, I wasn’t even sure what to say or do at this point as a part of me grew fumbled up with so many different emotions.

“I don’t know what to say, Alexander, and I don’t know what you would have done if you were in my place. But I know for fact that you wouldn’t have been as calm as I am being right now, mostly because you would claim that you are an Alpha, and whatever excuses came after that. It doesn’t matter, none of it ever did, but the issue that I am having is this, why does Delilah still think that she is part of your life? Why the f*uck is she not accepting the fact that the two of us are mates? What did you promise her that has her going crazy over the fact that we’re together?” I asked, trying to keep myself as calm as I could be. I knew that any other woman in my shoes would have snapped, but the thing was, I didn’t know what good would I be gaining for myself if I did.

“The two of us had plans to get back together, and I am guessing she held onto them too much. I did tell her eventually that I no longer wanted anything to do with her, but Delilah didn’t take a hint if it hit her in the face” Alexander said, making me shake my head. I pinched the bridge of my nose as I handed him the paper. I sat on the chair that faced his desk, and moving from his original spot, Alexander walked toward me and sat on his knees in front of me.

“I don’t want this to create another gap between us, Scar. The two of us are barely fixing what was broken before” he said, making me sigh. I took his hands in mind and shook my head at him.

“I don’t like what I heard, I will admit that. But if I didn’t know you as a man, and I didn’t know how much I meant to you, I would be saying that I never did mean anything to you. But the Alexander that I know wouldn’t have marked me if your feelings weren’t real. I know that you were with Delilah for years and you never bothered considering marking her, why? Because you did not love her. Maybe you lusted over her, maybe it was the excitement, but you were never in love with her. How am I so sure?” I asked myself, while keeping my eyes on his “I saw your love in your eyes toward me. That caring, genuine man who would hold my hands at random times simply to k*iss my knuckle. The friend who would wrap his arms around me simply because he could. The support that I had when you knew that I was in my weakest state. You were there for me when no one was, and that is something that I never want to lose. But, that does not mean that I would be allowing a b*itch like Delilah to keep approaching us”

“And what do you plan on doing, Neonata?” Alexander asked, making me smile. I was yet to divers a plan, I had to admit, but I knew that I had to do something before the woman became dangerous for me, my daughter, and even my mate.

“For now, we have something to take care of, and as a family, this should be our main concern as it would be the announcement of our daughter and us being mates. I know that things took a complete different path between the two of us, but one way or the other, Delilah was going to be f*orced to respect it. How? I do not know, but she would have to eventually accept the fact that she HAS to get out of this family and our lives, because otherwise, I would be ensuring that I teach her the limits that she doesn’t seem to want to learn or have” I said, making my mate smirk, as his eyes studied my expression carefully “what?”

“Family?”

“Are we not one, Alexander?” I asked, raising an eyebrow “because last I checked, our daughter was upstairs, and the two of us were officially mates”

“I know, it just sounds very sweet when you say it. You know, you admitting that the two of us are more than just normal mates and that we have our family” he said and I shook my head before getting up. He frowned and got up after me, wrapping his hand around my wrist, wanting to stop me from moving.

“I have things to finish, Alex.”

“I take it that this conversation is not over?” He asked, pulling me to his c*hest. I shook my head at him and put my hand on his c*hest, stopping him from hugging me. “It is, and I no longer wish to speak about it. But it does not mean that the two of us are easily going to make up because of this. Now, I do hope that you would excuse me for a while as I need to go and help the girls. You know, we still have a lot to do, and the last thing that I could worry about right now is a b*itch who does not know how to take no for an answer…”
