Chapter 2
“Telling lies?” The handsome Alpha frowned, “No, I am the father of that child”
Caramella wanted to spray him again, and she was about to. Sadly though, the Alpha has sharp instincts and hopped out of the way before she could press the spray.
“Could you not!” The Apha exclaimed, still eyeing that spray bottle as if it was from hell.
It was funny watching a very tall, muscular hot man jump like a wuss from a bottle but she didn’t laugh. Instead, she put it in her memory. ‘I can laugh about that later’ she thought.
“Look, you kept telling me that you are my child’s father but who the fudge are you, mister?” she quote and quote on the air with her fingers.
“...I guess I should start with that” the Alpha sighed and fixed his messed up hair by combing it upwards. It was a sight to see, very hot, but of course Caramella didn’t mention anything.
“Good, You are more of a gentleman than I thought” she pointed out, “Sit across me, mister and we’ll have a long talk”
The Alpha still eyed the spray anxiously and Caramella didn’t fail to aim the spray on him even when he sat across her with a coffee table in between them.
“Now, can you drop your pepper spray now?”
“No” Caramella answered quickly, smiling sweetly as she shook the bottle threateningly.
“Okay, but lower it down. I won’t harm you…in fact, you harmed me first” the Alpha made sense.
“But you trespassed and were holding my child. PLUS! You look like a gangster, who wouldn’t get scared by a gangster dominant Alpha!” but she also made sense.
So with their correct and valid arguments. They went silent.
The awkwardness was high between them, now that they are at peace. They are only hearing Oliver’s television kids show on the background singing ABC’s which doesn’t help the awkwardness.
“I apologize about that. But I assure you, I am the father of your child” the Alpha said calmly, but his eyes were stern.
“You know what, you keep saying that but you won’t even introduce yourself” Caramella said, crossing her legs, “So?”
The Alpha took a deep breath, “I am Darius Glenn Vangoth, an Alpha from the Lycan Vangoth Family” he said in the most monotonous way possible, like a robot.
‘What are you a male Alexa? Google Translate?’ she was mocking him in her head.
“I can’t believe I am introducing myself to a trespasser but” she sighed, “Caramella Sugar, a human Omega”
Darius raised a brow, “You’re a human?”
“Yeah”
“Then your child is…”
“Yes, my child is half human and half Lycan”
Darius suddenly looked defeated, he leaned forward and licked his lips nervously, “Are you sure you are a human?”
Caramella frowned at his reaction, “Yes, I am a human Omega. HEY, why are you the one interrogating me when you’re the one who broke into my HOUSE?! HMM!?”
“I’m just asking” Darius defended.
“Then tell me why you’re here and why you kept on telling me that you are Oliver’s father. Do you have proof? Hmm?” Caramella crossed her arms.
“Oliver telling me that I am his father wasn’t enough for you?”
Caramella froze at the sight of the desperate Alpha who looked really upset at her. But she won’t fall for that. Even if it's true that Oliver managed to detect Darius as his father and accepted him, she can’t just accept him for the sake of both of them. For now, Darius is still a stranger to them that they met today.
“No, I don’t want any weirdo near my son” she pointed out sternly, “What if you did something to his Lycan senses that I didn’t know about? What if you forged some documents? Huh?”
She just wants to protect her child.
“Then let's go” Darius looks like he is in a hurry.
Caramella frowned in confusion, “What? Go where?”
“For a DNA test and pheromone matching…I am sure…I still have a mark on you” Darius seemed hesitant to say the last phrase, scratching the back of his neck.
“Are you crazy?!”
Darius was surprised by how angry Caramella looks, huffing.
“I am asking for consent, Ms. Sugar. Please…please, just give me a chance. If I am Oliver’s father then I want to be a part of his life too…” Darius clasped his hands together and looked at Caramella with what looks like puppy eyes to her, “And for you too”
Caramella bit her lower lip, ‘First he is hot, then he is cute. Why did the moon goddess decide to bless him with this unfair face!’
“No” she shook her head, “No way in hell am I giving any time for someone like you”
“Please, Ms. Sugar”
“NO!” she screamed, before sighing. She hasn’t been this mad since her pregnancy and she doesn’t want to make her blood level rise or else she might die of heart attack.
“Look, Mr. Avagogo…Avagoul…erm”
“Avagoth” Darius corrected.
“Mr. Agavoth”
“Avagoth”
Flustered, Caramella gave up.
“Look, I don’t know you and you don’t know me. And even if you are Oliver’s father. I will never accept you in OUR life” she pointed out, remembering all of the horrors she went through all alone while pregnant, working and making sure not to harm her baby…
She took a shaky breath to stop herself from crying.
“If you are Oliver’s father then you are crazy to think that I WILL JUST FORGIVE YOU FOR LEAVING ME FOR FOUR YEARS!” She can’t help but let it out, “Four years, mister. Pregnant. Kicked out of the house. Earning for both of us…IT WAS HARD”
Darius looked down shamefully on his feet.
“WHERE WERE YOU THEN, HUH? IF you are Oliver’s father, where were you when we needed you the most?” Caramella is crying now. Tears just won’t stop falling.
“At least be responsible after spending a night with an Omega. Not to mention that I am drunk and you were in a rut! You crazy…” she sniffled and started wiping her tears, “...bastard. I hate you”
Darius was about to approach her, his face scrunched up in concern and pain when Oliver suddenly appeared and hugged Caramella.
“Mommy! Why are you crying! Mommy!” Oliver looks like he is about to cry too, hugging his mother tightly on the side.
Darius can feel his heart break at the sight.
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. But please, please just give me a chance-”
Caramella glared at Darius who is apologizing again and again, looking as broken hearted as she is. But she knew, she’s the one who is in deeper s**t than he is.
“Shut up and just leave” she pointed at the door.
Darius looked shocked, “No, please. Give me a chance”
“No, I’m sorry but I don’t want to get angry so please just leave”
“Ms. Sugar, I will help you. Give you everything you need so please-”
Caramella clenched her dress and her pheromones that she tried too hard to maintain turned violent and dark red, “GO! LEAVE! WE SURVIVED FINE ON OUR OWN SO WHY DO YOU THINK WE NEED YOU NOW!?”
She exploded. Her sharp eyes are full of malice and her claws were bared.
Darius stopped moving then, he didn’t even breath. All he can see is the claw that appeared so briefly on Caramella’s hands.
But those claws disappeared without even a second, as if it were just a mirage.
“Mommy. It's okay. I will protect you, mommy” Oliver said, now crying too after feeling the fear and sadness that is flowing out of his mother’s pheromones.
Darius stood up, “I’m sorry. I will leave then” he said dejectedly and bowed as a last greeting before stepping towards the hallway and then the front door.
Caramella was breathing deeply. She calmed her heart down once more and after wiping off her tears and concealing the negative emotions on her pheromones and face, she smiled at Oliver.
“Olie, why don’t we eat some snacks now hmm? I will call back babysitter Gayle here later so let’s eat out at lunch today”
Oliver can still sense the distress from his mother but didn’t comment on it, instead, he smiled back.
“Okay mommy. Can we eat ice cream after?”
“Of course. Anything my Olie wants” Caramella chuckled and hugged Oliver back, “But not too much or your tooth will ache”
“Yes! Then are you going to work again tonight? Can you tuck me in for bed first?”
Looking at her son pout makes Caramella forget the encounter she had with that Alpha. Of course she is super upset if Darius is really Oliver’s father, but for him to come back now that Oliver is three…isn’t that absurd? Now that they have a stable life, he is trying to push himself in the picture?
Just thinking about it makes her angry.
‘But still…Oliver needs a father’ Caramella thought, ‘But definitely not Darius! Though he is hot and all, he’s still a trespasser who is forcing himself to this family!’
…
Darius knew that Caramella is the woman he accidentally spent his rut with four years ago. He is certain of it because he can still feel his temporary mark on her, although it is faint. Caramella didn’t notice it because she might be human, but Lycan’s have stronger senses.
And the claws…he definitely saw them on her hands for a brief moment.
‘There might be a chance that she is a Lycan too…and that our son is a full blooded Lycan’ He thought as he leaned on his office chair.
“Young master, the Lord is calling you” his right hand man, Frowen Velle, a long haired brunette Beta with emerald eyes, said.
“Father is? Why?” (AN: The ‘Lord’ is Darius’ father and head of the family)
Frowen shook his head, “My speculation is that, my Lord might be calling you about what you found out…perhaps…his possible grandson”
“How did father find out so quickly that I have a son?” Darius asked, growling hard as he gripped on his pen tightly, “I never mention that to anyone but you”
“...That…I am uncertain of. But I assure you, young master, that it is not me”
Darius nodded, “I know you won’t betray me, Frowen. Then it might have been my brothers”
He was angry. His brothers are always trying to mess him up, so that he won’t have any chance to succeed being the lord of their Lycan Clan. But he knows he deserves that title and he will grab it no matter what.
“Forge the documents for now” Darius said.
Frowen looked shocked, “Young master…why do we need to forge these documents?” The confused Beta looked at the handful of papers lying on the table. They are all personal informations about a certain family with a last name of-
“Sugar? That’s their last name?”
“Unbelievable right? I too can’t believe I slept with some who has a terrible adorable last name…Who in their right mind back in the days put their last names as Sugar”
Frowen raised a brow, ‘The cold young master just called them adorable…how intriguing’
