Alpha's Mate (boyxboy) ✔

Falling Deeper in the Pit of Hell

I went back home with a smile on my face. My cheeks hurt, like so badly. But, who wouldn't? I am pregnant with my first child. It's something everybody wanted anyway. And, at the moment I'd finally caught the sight of mine and Kyle's house, I smiled bigger. I hated him because of whatever things he had done to me. But there was a good news I wanted to share with him. And I'm incredibly delighted. 

Taking off my shoes a little bit too hastily, I twisted the knob and silently walked inside. 

"Hah, there you are..." Kyle grinned as he threw an empty can of beer towards my way. He wasn't drunk, I knew it, because his face told so. And beside him, there was Jack, Steele and Mia who seemed to have their fun a little bit too much. Steele was currently lying down on the couch--probably drunk--as Jack was busy munching some snack whilst talking something with Mia. I looked at his companions one by one and I pressed my lips into a thin line, only to notice that Jack was already glaring at me in a threatening manner

What he was thinking about anyway? And what more important was, what had I done wrong to him? He wasn't anything to me though. Hell, we're even barely know each other. Yet the way he was currently staring at me right now somehow gave me this feeling that there was definitely something wasn't right.

"Y-yeah?" I managed to stutter out. The only reason why Kyle was looking for me was just because he needed help with something...or more accurately, turning me into his slave, or simply just being his punchbag. For a second, I actually wonder if he'd be happy if I told him I was pregnant of his child though, and, despite I actually doubted it, the thought of him smiling and wrapping his arms around me so happily brought a grin into my face. And so, as I'm nervously fidgeting my fingers on the fabric of my pants, I started; "
"...Kyle there's something I want to talk about".

And he paused. I'd noticed Jack was glaring at me again but I'm just going to ignore it by the way.

"Is it important?" he then said in his usual ignorant tone. But still, though I'm slightly nervous thinking about what his reaction might be, there was a pounding feeling in my head that kept begging me to just tell him. He needed to know after all. He has to know. "...cause if you want to keep wasting my time, then of course, please go away".

I pressed my lips into a thin line.

"It's about us"

He then chuckled mockingly.

"Us? There's no such thing as 'us'. We're never ever going to be a thing, understand? No matter what the fuck is happen".

It's hurt, I knew.

Tongue-tied, I stared down at my feet. When he said that to me, about the fact that we would never be together, I started to think about my baby. What if Kyle didn't like it? What if he didn't approve that it was really his own flesh and blood? Of course, I am scared. I am scared that he would never want this baby. I am scared that he would never accept me to be his baby's carrier. I am scared of everything, that, even though he never told me that he didn't want a baby, I am scared that he would force me to kill the baby just because he didn't want any reason to be with me.

I swallowed a lump of saliva built itself in the back of my throat. The way he said those words instantly killed my excitement anyway...

"It's nothing..." I said finally.

He sighed heavily.

"Great. Then why don't you go to the kitchen and prepare us some tea, will you?" he commanded in his usual harsh tone. "...and don't make it too sweet. Mia hates it".

I nodded, tears almost gathering in the brims of my eyes at how much he actually cared about other people but me.

"Okay..." I muttered under my breath before I walked into the kitchen.

"Wait, I'll go with you..." someone suddenly said behind me. Turning around, I saw Jack already jogged towards my way.

Kyle raised his brows up as he stared at his cousin with a confused look.

"You don't have to do anything, Jack. Let him do his job..." he said, glancing at me and shrugged. "...besides, that's the purpose of having a mate. To be threatened like a slave, right?". Then, both of them laughed as I looked down at the floor in embarrassment.

"Nah, I just want to make sure he didn't put anything poisonous into our drinks, eh. For safety reason..." Jack then replied with a shrug. He glanced at me for a split of second. "...he doesn't look good by the way".

Kyle sighed.

"Whatever..." was his only answer as he ushered us away with a swift sway of his hand.

~x~

In the kitchen, it felt really awkward. Behind me, Jack was just leaning his lanky figure against the counter--arms crossed--as I felt his eyes were on me. Though I'm not pretty sure what his agenda was, I still tried to ignore the feeling of insecurities nonetheless. Perhaps, it was just my hormones.

"So what did Henry told you?" I heard he suddenly said.

"Huh?".

"At the family's gathering. Don't act stupid. Did you guys talk about me?" he then added.

So, that's the reason why he kept having his eyes on me?

"We're not".

Then I heard him huffed.

"Do you think I'm too stupid to not realize?!" he suddenly raised his voice, making me startled a little. "...you talk about something with Henry, and I know it. Now tell me bastard, what did he told you?".

"I-it's nothing!" I answered in a shaky voice.

"Huh, so you're getting better at saving yourself now, eh?" he accused. Then, taking a step forward at me, he leaned in and harshly whispered; "...are you complaining to him, huh?".

"No! H-he just told me th--".

But even before I could finish my words, Kyle, Mia and Steele already entered into the kitchen. They were looking at both me and Jack--confusion were obvious on their faces.

"What happened?" I heard Kyle asked as he looked worriedly at Jack who was just standing on his place--unmoving.

Gulping hardly, I nervously looked at Jack who was already glaring at me with a smirk attached on his lips. I didn't know what he's going to do...

And I'm scared.

"I heard a conversation of him and Henry at the family's gathering..." he started. He glanced at me with his darkening eyes as I looked at him like a lost puppy whilst Kyle just standing there--listening--knowing how much he just wanted to kill me right here at the moment. "...and he told everything to Henry of what you had done to him".

I stood frozen in my place, only to realize that Jack was just trying to save himself.
