Alexander

Chapter 13

Oliver's P.O.V

I miss Alexander.

It's been a week since the last time I saw him and it's been a week that I'm stuck with my parents pressuring me to always be with Amelia. 

Right now, I'm in my office signing papers and of course my parents are here too.

"Oliver, your wedding is in two weeks! You need to let the tailor measure you for the tuxedo" My mother says.

"Mom, I'm busy" I replied

"I told you me and your father will take care of the clan at the moment, you should go and help your bride organize the event. Amelia's parents are coming next week Oliver, what will they say if the groom is not helping their daughter with this?" Seriously! This is so annoying.

"Why do I have to marry her?" I ask.

"So that there's someone who can help you and besides you said you haven't found your mate or did you?" My father answered for my mom, I stare at him and said no. 

"Now go. Leave this to us, Amelia is in the wedding reception, you know where it is right?" My mother ask. I nodded and step outside my office and saw Alisha walking towards me with so much concern visible on her face.

"Alisha, are you okay?" I ask.

"What about you sir? Are you okay?"

"Yes. I'm stress, but I'm okay. I'm going to see Amelia"

"You're not going to run after sir Alexander?" She ask. I look at her confuse.

"What do you mean?" 

"Sir, I just saw him ran out crying." She replied. Alexander was here? Though I already look pale, but I feel like I went even paler. I immediately ran downstairs and saw Alexander walking towards the door. Fuck!

"Alexander!" I called out. "Alexander! Wait!" He didn't bother stopping so I ran like a lightning speed and stop in front of him. Alexander's eyes are swollen, I made him cry.

"You should go be with your fiance Oliver" He says, wiping his tears away. I want to hug him.

"Alexander let me explain" I reach out my hands to touch him but he step back. I feel a pang in my chest, he won't even let me hold him anymore.

"You don't have to explain anything to me, what I heard up there was enough." He walk pass me, but I'm not letting him leave so I grab his arms.

"Alexander I don't know what to do!" I really don't.

"The moment you deny me to your parents, the moment you agree on marrying someone and lying to me all this time means you know what you're doing. You weren't confuse because you already made up your mind. Do you really love me? When you tell me you love me every time, do you really mean it?" That's not true, it was hard for me.

"I do! I do love you and I mean it." I said sounding so desperate. 

"If you love me then why deny me to your parents? Why marry someone else who isn't your mate and why would you lie to me? Were you ever planning on telling me all this Oliver? If you really love me, how can you hurt me like this?" He ask. I look down and sorry is the only words that I can mutter.

"Since we're here, might as well do the proper rejection." I look up at him and I know I look terrified. No, no, no.

"No! Alexander I'm sorry! My parents, they don't approve of the same sex mates and I got scared, because they will remove my leadership and you know how important this is for me so I lied, I didn't know they will arrange me with someone and I can't refuse either because they'll ask the reason why and telling them that I just don't want to get married will not satisfy them. I will lose everything Alexander." I explain. I need to tell him or else I will lose him, I can't have that.

"You will lose everything but not me! You still have me or am I not enough? No, don't answer that, I already know the answer anyways. I get it, your rank and your parents is more important. I understand. If that's the case then I'm willing to let you go if it means making you happy. I love you Oliver." I can't find any words to say, I need to say something. I feel him grab my hands and made me hold a paper, no a picture. "I, Alexander Mellow will revoke my mating bond with Oliver Hem" I feel a stinging pain on my neck, but I'm too occupied to mind it. I called out his name but stop midway as the picture sink in, this is an ultrasound. Alexander handed it to me so that means, my eyes started to water and soon tears stream down my face, I look at Alexander.

"Is this, you're pregnant?" I ask in shock.

"Yes. That is why I came here, to surprise you but I was the one who got surprise. I actually didn't want to let you know after what happened, but he's your baby too and you deserve to know. This is all a mess, but don't worry I'm not going to disturb you. I will raise him alone and you can visit him anytime, okay? Goodbye Oliver" He quickly get on his car and drove off. I tried calling his name many times, but he didn't bother stopping  and soon his car is out of my sight.

What have I done?

I lost the one person who completes me and our unborn child. I hold on tightly to the picture as my legs gave out, I drop on my knees and scream my heart out not caring about being by the clan members. 

I stood up and went inside my car, I need to go after him. I drove off towards Alexander's house and when I arrive I immediately went inside and found him in the living room crying, he stood up when he saw me.

"Alexander, please let's talk" I move closer to him

"There's nothing else to talk about."

"Alexander I love you"

"How am I suppose to believe that when you just hurt me?" He says and look at me with hurt and sadness in his eyes. "Look, you're making this hard for me. Just leave, please" He says turning his back on me. I stood up and decided to give him some time, I'll go home and talk to my parents.

"Okay. But, when is your next check up? I want to be present in every check you're having, if that's okay?" I ask. I saw him nod but didn't turn around to look at me, I sigh and went home.

When I step inside my office, my parents look at me in disbelief.

"You found your mate and a man to boot. I saw what happened earlier" My mother says.

"Yeah. He's a man and I love him, but now I can't be with him anymore because we're over. He rejected me and doesn't want to be with me anymore" I said and turn around to get out.

"Good riddance. You being mated to a man is not acceptable, so good for you that he rejected you." I heard my father say, I vision became dark and before I know it, I attack my father. I kick and punch him so many times that he didn't even have the energy to defend himself, but that didn't stop me, even my mother beg me to stop I didn't. I got tired of punching him eventually and distance myself, my father didn't past out but he's so beat and my mother just cried.

"It's because of my fear to you I deny my mate! It's because you won't ever listen to my opinion and just do whatever it is that you want that leave me no choice but to stay quiet and that cost me my mate! He's alone because of me!"

"We were just doing what's best for you!" My mom yells

"Fuck you mom! You're not thinking about my being, you never did!" My mom gasp.

"You're no longer my son!"

"I never felt like I was anyways. Good riddance for the both of you." I spat and left.

I went inside my room and slam the door. I lay down holding the picture and close my eyes.
