Reunion With My Ex Alpha But With A Child

Chapter 3: Reunited

Lily

I shouldn’t care about his true reason for coming here, and if he’s truly looking for someone, I should just hope I wouldn’t cross paths with him again.

Pulling a monoblock chair with me, I placed it in the little corner beside the restroom to eat my lunch. I usually spent my lunch break here, just so my coworker would leave me alone.

I was quietly eating when a sudden cold water that dripped down my face, jolted me awake.

“What now, Sarah?!” I couldn’t help but to rose my voice in frustration.

“Oops! I’m sorry,” she snickered before splattering the remaining water on my face.

Letting out a deep sigh, I gathered my things and stood up to simply leave her while I still had patience left with me. But as soon as I stepped away, her hands clutched my wrist, pulling me back to face her.

“Where do you think you’re going? There’s a customer outside you need to serve.”

“It’s my lunch break, Sarah. You were supposed to serve those customers outside,” I quickly responded, drawing my wrist back.

“Oh, so you’re fighting back now, huh?”

I was ready to ignore her words and just left when I felt a sudden tug on my hair, making me wince in pain.

She forcibly pulled me back, pinning my face to the wall.

“Don’t you ever respond to me that way again. I am one call away to tell our manager to fire you and you’d be gone in an instant.”

“Do you understand?!”

I hastily nodded, afraid that I might annoy her even more.

My face crumpled in pain when she tugged me with her hand on my hair and pushed me out of the break room, making me fly on the ground with my hands in a tight clench.

Though how badly I wanted to snap back at them several times, I still chose to control myself as I knew Aiden would for sure be in trouble if I ever messed up, and I didn’t want to cause him any more of that. Him bringing us into this Pack is already a huge debt. I shouldn’t do something that’ll put the Pack in a situation where they’d have to kick us out because where would Evan and Zoey end up if that happens?

After my shifts ended for that day, I decided to walk back home as I knew Aiden would be extremely busy with the meeting for other Pack councils.

Upon reaching a meter outside our home, my brows formed into a straight line seeing our belongings outside while some men were still in the process of bringing them out.

I rushed inside and found Evan and Zoey standing right in front of the door, teary-eyed.

“Mom! Our things!” Zoey turned to me, wrapping her tiny arms around my waist.

“Is Alpha kicking us out?”

“No, no, Evan. Alpha wouldn’t do that.” I caress Zoey’s back.

Even I, myself didn’t know what was happening, but I knew one thing for sure, Alpha wouldn’t kick us out with no reason.

“Stay here with your sister, okay? I’ll fix this.”

Proceeding inside, more men were present. Almost all of our things were already outside with only small stuff left inside.

“What’s happening here? Why are you taking out our things?” I continuously questioned, trying to stop them, but I got no response, making me even more confused.

“Please, answer me! Why are you taking out our things?”

I was just about to follow one man when a footstep appeared.

“Lily, it’s a good thing that you’re here,” Hans, the Beta spoke from behind.

I immediately faced him. “Why? What’s happening?”

“You probably know that Alpha Wade Johnson from North is coming here, right? And since there are no other vacant houses in the Pack for him, I think of letting him stay here instead.”

“But why here? Shouldn’t an Alpha like him stay somewhere nicer than this small hut? I mean he could stay at the Packhouse instead.”

“Lily, do you even know the reason why he’s here?” He folds his arm, crossing it against his chest. “And we want to show him who truly rules this place.”

Hans' wrinkled face confirmed my suspicion. Our Pack doesn’t seem to be pleased with Wade’s presence here.

“For whatever reason that is, Beta Hans. I’m sure you can find other places he could stay at,” I replied, stepping forward to beg him. “We don’t have—”

“I’m sorry to break it to you, but he’s gonna stay here whatever you say,” he spat, shaking his head.

“Then where are we going to stay?!” my voice rose from the frustration I was holding since before.

Hans’ eyes squinted before his lips formed into a smirk. “Are you forgetting that you’re an outsider from our Pack anyway? You’re not an official member, just to remind you.”

I was caught off guard, being unable to respond right away. He bitterly chuckled before turning his back on me to leave.

He was right, but I did everything to deserve a place here in the Pack. Everything.

My eyes started to produce hot tears, attempting to fall down by any minute. I lifted my head to stop them from doing so, before taking a deep breath. “Does Aiden know about this?” I asked.

Though I knew using Aiden in this situation wasn’t a good idea. But this was my last resort because I was sure he wouldn’t let this happen to us.

He’s the only person I could hold onto.

Hans walked back to my place. “Why? What are you gonna do?” he began, raising his right eyebrow as if he was challenging me.

“Cry at him as if you’re a bullied kid like you always do so he will do everything to change Alpha’s mind and get things to work your way?” he scoffed.

His words were like a trigger to my anger that pushed me to my limits.

“Well, where do you think we are going to stay?! I wouldn’t mind any of these if I were all by myself. But I have two children with me, Beta. You’ve got to understand!”

And it even made me angry knowing I’ve tried to endure everything and not tell Aiden a thing about worse things that’s happening to me because I’m afraid anyone would think of me like this.

Hans stared at me blankly as I yelled worriedly, while he did not seem to care about understanding my point when a stone-cold baritone echoed from behind, stopping any of my future words.

“Is here where I would be staying?”

I couldn’t be mistaken about this exact same voice I used to love hearing.

My feet were stuck in their place with realization hitting me.

At this time, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have any option of walking away from him.
