CHAPTER 14

Severus was sat with his alpha in the ministers office. He had filed a case against the three alphas, saying that they verbally attacked his employee and when he defended his employ he was attacked by magic.

And Severus was in favor cause he was the mate of the king. They just had to sign some papers and the alphas will have to pay a hefty fine and have to do community service for the next two months. Harry had came the moment he heard about what happened.

Severus' back was bruised and so was the side of his face. It happened when the magical outburst had practically threw him backwards. And now all that mattered was getting back home. Lucius had told Severus that he will go back straight to the castle so they were not worried about him. And in their overwhelmed emotions they did not notice the tinge of pleasure and regret that was transferred to them while they sat in front of Hermione Granger.

Lucius layed on his back with tears rolling down his face. His whole body felt sore and regret was rolling of off him in waves. Regulus was laying besides him, trying to comfort him.

"This should not have happened. I am married. I cheated on my alpha. Regulus I cheated on my mates." Lucius sobbed as he lifted himself from the floor and Regulus wrapped his hands around Lucius but he pushed him away. Regulus' face was filled with pain at being pushed away.

"Do you love him?" Regulus asked.

"Yes. I love him." Lucius replied with tears streaming down his face.

"Have you ever told him that you love him?" The young alpha asked with his eyes down casted.

"No." Lucius trailed of, he loved Regulus, but he loved Harry too.

"Lucius, I can't share. And I have decided to marry a young omega already. The only problem is that he is barren." Regulus said and Lucius knew what the other meant by that.

"I am to decide if he is the one I am marrying or not tomorrow. So Lucius make a decision between me and your alpha." Regulus said with his features soft and even though he was paining at the possibility of never ever being able to love Lucius.

Lucius fell into deep thought as he thought about what he could do. Regulus was the father of his first child and his first love. He has thought of Regulus as his future, but his future changed when he was purchased by Harry. Harry gave him a child and staked a claim on him by having sex with him and marking him with his wolf bite.

His body, soul and mind belongs to Harry. Even if he decides to go with Regulus, he would always belong to Harry.

Even if he loved Regulus, there was nothing he could do. He has to choose Harry because a slave always has to return to his master. He never was treated like a slave but he has read about it, and he is a slave to Harry.

Harry may have gave him permission to love Regulus but at the end of the day Harry was an alpha who has claimed Lucius as his. And in the future, Harry or Regulus would have challenged the other for Lucius.

While on the other hand, Draco was Regulus' heir. He has to tell him about Draco cause if he doesn't, he is depriving him of his right to meet his child.

"I chose alpha Harry. But Regulus you need to know that Draco, my first born has your blood." Lucius finally made his decision and Regulus' eyes widened in shock.

"You would let me meet him right?" Regulus asked with hopeful eyes.

"Of course. He is your heir. I can't deprive you of that. I promise I would let you meet him. But not today." Lucius said and Regulus nodded.

"You should get going." Regulus said and Lucius got up from the floor and quickly got dressed. The two went back to their own way. With a promise of sending a letter.
