Criminal Love - Alastor X Female Reader

Chapter 68 - How is she

"Baby seems good," Charlie reassured you in a hushed tone as you observed the monitor, listening to the rhythmic heartbeat resonating throughout the room.

"How is she with... birthing?" Alastor asked his grip tightened on your shaky hand.

"Do you want me to check (Y/N)? To make sure you're fine." Charlie reassured.

"I can step out darling if you need privacy." Alastor whispered to you.

"No! I need you beside me. Please..." You practically begged gripping the collar on his coat.

"Of course." He reassured.

Charlie placed a blanket over your lap before putting on a glove to check underneath.

Alastor gently squeezed your hand, noticing the discomfort on your face as you winced slightly.

"You are quite bruised down there..." Charlie mentioned, causing Alastor's jaw to clench. He was aware of the situation, but hearing it from someone else did not aid in maintaining his composure.

You led there for a moment, letting it sync in properly.

"I'm not surprised." You mumbled.

"(Y/N) as uncomfortable as this may be to ask, when he... were you... wet?" Charlie asked.

"No... I was... dry, and it was extremely painful..."

Alastor's eye twitched as he rose to his feet for a brief moment, letting go of your hand.

"Alastor..." Charlie warned, seeing him struggle with himself.

"I'm fine, princess." He chuckled in a more sinister static voice. "I just need a moment."

Charlie put her attention back to you.

"You are bleeding, but it shouldn't be nothing serious."

You slowly nodded. Alastor joined your side once again.

Charlie, for a moment, glanced between the both of you, how silent you both became.

"I wanna add... that I'm sorry for allowing him inside the hotel."

That caught both your attention.

"Charlie, you didn't know." You softly spoke.

"Still makes me feel partially at fault, though."

"No one knew princess. He changed his name and hid it well."

"Why Vik? Out of all names." You questioned. That made Alastor frown for a moment until he clocked on.

"That obnoxious pompous piece of shit television." He suddenly snarled.

You looked to your husband with a questionable look.

"You think Vox had something to do with him?" Charlie asked.

"Isn't it obvious, princess? He hired him, both wanting the same thing."

"Revenge on you..." You slowly whispered.

"Vox knows (Y/N) is all I care about. So what better way then get the man I murdered and the one who 'stole' his woman. Even though I didn't, and he's delusional." Alastor mumbled.

"Alastor and I had feelings for each other since we were teenagers, but we stupidly hid it.  Not wanting to ruin our friendship, so when Paul asked me out... I said yes for not only being a young dumb woman getting her first boyfriend but to hide my true feelings I felt for him." You explained as you slowly looked to your husband. Alastor softly smiled at that.

"So what happened?" Charlie asked egorly, she was in awe being told your story.

"I broke up with Paul when my feelings got strong for Alastor. It was only fair. But... he didn't take it kindly and tried to get his way since I never gave myself to him. Luckily, Alastor came home early that day to prevent farther escalation. Paul also cheated on me with my friend, so... it was another reason not to be with him. But... I didn't care, I got what I wanted. Alastor was my first for everything. First kiss, first love, and the only man I would ever have sex with."

You then let out a sigh. "But now Paul got what he wanted, and..."

"(Y/N), just because Paul forced himself on you does not change anything, yes you only ever had Alastor and it still will only ever be Alastor. You did not consent to such an act he did to you. Therefore, it does not count. You were assaulted. You did not willingly open your legs for another demon. So don't ever think that spark has now died because someone else forced themselves up there." Charlie said.

"Darling, it doesn't change anything." Alastor spoke softly as you looked at him with tears in your eyes. "Even if you had slept with him back then, I would have still loved you and showed you how a true gentleman treats their woman."

Charlie smiled at the two of you. "I just feel so... dirty Al." You choked out. "Don't.., that's what his intention was for. Love just because he... does not mean he's ruined that moment for us. After all, the one thing he can't say is that I had you first for it all. And I will be your last." He planted a gentle kiss on the back of your hand. You managed a faint smile as a tear escaped.

"So, I think these last 5 weeks  we take it easy. You're lucky your daughter is very strong." Charlie commented. "Guess she's just like her daddy." You made a light-hearted joke, Alastor responded with a chuckle and gazed upon your radiant smile with admiration.

Alastor, for a moment, enjoyed seeing you smile even if it was just for a second. He wanted to forget what had happened in the last 24 hours.

Evening

Alastor observed you as you prepared for bed, refraining from questioning your earlier decision to burn all of your dresses and skirts.

He partially knew the reasoning behind it being haunted by Paul words of being an 'easy access.'

You were wearing an oversized t-shirt and a pair of pyjama shorts.

"You coming to bed?" You questioned as you hoped in. "Soon darling, I'm just gonna go for a walk."

"Walk... Do you mean look for him?" You then said.

Alastor sighed. "I can't... I will not allow him to roam freely around here after his actions." Alastor calmly stated.

"Alastor, right now I just... I just need you with me, please."

Alastor's heart sank as he realised what you meant. He could sense your fear of being alone.

"Don't leave me alone, even if I fall asleep."

"You have my word, darling." Alastor chose to join you in bed. You happily curled yourself onto him, disregarding all the alarms going off in your head. You were refusing to let Paul influence your interaction with Alastor.

Your mind drifted to the joyous memories you and Alastor shared during your lifetime.

Alastor embraced you with his arms, vigilantly observing as you gradually fell asleep.

Alastor let out a sigh, laying back. "I will find him (Y/N) dont you worry my love. He will not get away with what he did to you." Alastor spoke softly, gazing at your sleeping figure as he gently tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear.

"I don't know why everyone wants to cause pain to you, my love. You're simply too perfect for any of this... my sweet adoring wife. Don't let him ever break that from you. I'd hate for you to... fall into this darkness." Alastor spoke quietly.

His hand rested gently upon your pregnant belly. "I will ensure that no one will ever dare to harm you or our daughter. It's time to remind everyone why they should not mess with the radio demon." Alastor stated firmly, as his eyes slowly shifted to radio dials.
