Five of them look at Adom in a horrifying way, which makes him burst into laughter.
Kids these days...
Sam tilted his head, looking at Adom for a moment. "Were you in the military or something? Because their fighting style mimics something like it. It's far from the regular black belt kids in our school." The others agreed.
Well, there are many black belt kids in their school; even Alex is a black belt, but damn, those two are really something else.
"Yes. I was a Navy Seal in Special Forces. But I retired and went into the music business. I became a big producer for the circle, but after Jia and Jones gave up Ashly like she was nothing, I quit and started my own company. You may have heard of it. Ashly Inc. Whatever I earn in my life, it all belongs to Ashly and Allen if they want."
"One minute, you mean Ashly Inc., one of the best styling brands in our country?" Monika asks with wide eyes, which make Adom laugh.
"Yes, Monika, Ashly, Inc. is one of the best styling brands in our country."
Alex Monika squealed with happiness, clapping frantically. "Yes! OMG, the music you produce is amazing! So are your magazines! Oh, this is so cool! We know the owner, Ashly, Inc. This is a dream come true! Tell me everything!" Monika squeaks out. Alex, Type, and Sam groan. Here we go. Monika stopped crying when she heard something related to fashion.
"How the hell does your voice get that high? Honestly, it's insane." Adom asks, holding his ears. Type and Sam burst out laughing. Alex shrugged, thinking the same exact thing.
"Well, because she is a fashion freak and she is really obsessed with your brand. I can't even remember how many times she really screams when she knows about any new release. It's insane," Type told him while Sam nodded. His mate is a crazy fashion freak.
"Do you know who designed all those special edition things?" Adom asked Monika with a smirk on his face.
Alex and Simon's eyes become wide, and Type and Sam can't believe whom they are guessing.
And Monika, well...
"ARE YOU f*****g KIDDING ME? You mean my own sister designed everything? My God, she is so freaking cool. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT."
She screams her lungs out, which makes everyone fitch, even Adom.
"I also can't believe it either." Adom Mummer, but they all heard it.
"What?" Monika asks, which makes Adom smile.
"How the hell are you and your sister so similar without even knowing each other? You know being dramatic and drama queen.""
"Because they are twins," Type answered his question, which made Adom raise his eyebrow.
"Therefore, I must ask your wicked mother what the devil she ate during her pregnancy."
"Yea, same," Type joins him, which makes Monika smack his head and everyone burst into laughter.
They spoke for another hour about Adom's company and getting to know each other. Adom told them embarrassing stories of Ashly's childhood and how, starting in kindergarten, many alpha kids tried to bully her, which made Ashly kick their asses, which resulted in tears from Type and Monika. They wish to be with Ashly at that time so they can protect her like all the Alpha siblings did to their Omega siblings. But their sister is actually different from everyone else, and even at her young age, she can protect herself.
Adom assured them that it wasn't their fault that their parents were assholes. He pulled Alex to the side and told the others to help themselves to the kitchen.
He walked outside to the rooftop with Alex so the others wouldn't hear their conversation. Alex was nervous as hell. He never had to ask anyone's father for permission to date their daughter. He took a deep breath and joined Adom on the couch. He just hopes everything will go well.
"So Adom. I've always known that you were Ashly's mate for some time now, but I never said anything about it."
Alex looked confused. "Why not?"
"Because I wanted you all to figure it out for yourselves, but that plan didn't work, and I love my daughter to death, but she is so damn obvious sometimes. She thinks no Alpha would want her, but she's wrong. The looks every man and woman gave her are different; you would think Ashly is a player or something. But she isn't. Ashly has a gentle heart and is afraid of opening up to people. But with you, I see my daughter can finally be truly happy."
Alex nodded in understanding. "I want to give her the world. I want to show her how she should be treated, but she never lets me. It's driving me crazy not being able to be around her. It physically hurts, and I can sense her wolf needing me, but she runs away from me before I can even speak to her, and it's getting worse since we are in the same classes, let alone the same school. I've never loved someone as much as I love her. What do I do?" Alex looks so sad. Adom reaches out to hold his hand and squeezes it.
"She plays hard to get, but I know she's in pain as well. Not only from rejecting her Alpha but from not being around her twin sister. But you have to make her listen to you; she might fight you off, but keep pushing her until she lets you in. I need you to be there for her, Alex. I want to put my trust in you to take care of my daughter. She is the most valuable possession I possess; do not break her heart. Can you promise me that?"
Alex looks at him with determination. "I promise not to break her heart. I want to love her so much that her heart will explode with happiness."
Adom chuckled. "I give you permission to date my daughter. Now let's get downstairs before my daughter loses her sh*t. Her car pulled up, and she's in the elevator. She'll be in the house any moment now." They hustled down the stairs and joined the others.
Ashly walked out of the elevator with bags in her hands, laughing at something Allen said.
Toady was a really busy day; first, there were not many customers at the bakery, which is really new for Ashly because the bakery is not always full with new customers. And then Allen keeps dragging her here and there.
She wants to come back home as soon as possible, but Allen keeps dragging her from mall to mall and then to her dad. He keeps demanding unnecessary things. And he even blackmailed her into burning her sketchbook if she didn't bring those stupid things.
Well wired day indeed...
"Yo Pops! They didn't have the paint I needed for my project, so tomorrow Allen and I are driving to Hobby Lobby to get it." Ashly stopped speaking when she smelled a familiar scent. Which is odd because only one person has that scent. Her vision becomes blurry, and her body reacts to the scent.
Ashly shook her head, trying to get herself together. Her wolf was clawing at her, and it was becoming too much. "Dad! Please tell me you didn't!" She asked, walking into the living room and seeing five faces she didn't want to see at home. It's not like she hates them, but she is not ready for all this sh*t now. She's had enough problems in her life; she doesn't want another, at least not now.
Alex stood, making his way over to Ashly. He was happy to see her. Finally, they can talk without her running away from Alex.
"Let Alex talk first, then we can take our time," Type said to Monika, who was ready to hug her sister.
Monika understands what type means, so she nods in understanding.
"Ashly, we need to talk." Alex said as he came near Ashly.
"Stay away from me, or I'll insanely murder you!" Ashly screamed, but then she shook her head, whimpering, wanting to go away from Alex as quickly as possible. Her body was on fire. Her omega pheromones were in the air, making her growl. Ashly stumbled over to the steps, falling in the process. Type ran to help her up, but Adom stopped him. The only person allowed to touch an omega in this state was the omega.
"It's not your place, Type; let Alex handle this," Adom said to him.
"Ashly, stop this baby; you are hurting yourself."
"Why would you do this, dad? It hurts!" Ashly had tears in her eyes as she crawled up the stairs.
"I am sorry, love, but it's good for you. You have to stop fighting this mouse. You've been putting it off for so long that it's causing both of you pain. Let him help you." Adom said sternly:
"NO!" Ashly screams again, making everyone fitch.
"Ashly, this is not what I taught you, love. Please behave, and as your father, I am giving Alex permission to take care of you. Love, please stop fighting. I can't see you in pain. Allow Alex to help you with the mouse; just give him one chance. For me, baby. Please.."
Adom knows Ashly needs Alex as much as Alex needs her. She is hurting herself.
"But Dad, he is an Alpha," Ashly said while crying.
Alex, Sam, Simon, Type, and Moniika bow their heads in shame.
If only they treated Omega right and understood Omega's pain. Ashly doesn't hate Alex this much; she just can't trust him. because Alex is an Alpha. And it's really breaking their hearts.
"So I am a mouse; I am Alpha. Baby, not all Alphas are the same. Please, baby, give them one chance."
Ashly has never gone through a heat wave before. That's because she hasn't been around his Alpha, but now that Alex is here in her house, his scent triggered her heat, and Ashly was horny as hell. Ashly Slick filled the room, and Alex was losing his mind. Either he helps Ashly or he leaves the house so Ashly can handle this alone.
Alex took a deep breath and picked Ashly up, carrying her up the stairs to her bedroom.
"I promise not to touch you in any appropriate way without your permission," Alex said in a low voice, but everyone heard it.
Ashly whimpered in Alex's arms, shoving her face into Alex's neck. The scent of her alpha calmed her down some, but her body was still on fire.
"Which room is yours? You've got to help me out, love. I'm a bit lost." Alex nuzzled Ashly's cheek with his nose. Ashly whimpered even more, shaking as she hinted at the room on the other side of the hall. 'Good, Alex thought. They would be left alone for a while.
Alex placed Ashly on the bed and ran to the bathroom to get a cold washcloth to wipe off the sweat from Ashly's forehead and arms. Ashly was whimpering on the bed, clawing to get out of her clothes. Ashly's slickness filled the air even more with Ashly's movements. Alex knew he needed to control himself quickly before his wolf took over.
"Alpha, please, please, please! I need you, please! Ashly begged Alex to tie her. She needed it badly, but Alex didn't want to do that to her after their first meeting. Even if they are mates, he wanted to have Ashly's permission first, as he promised earlier, and he will not break his promise. "Alex! For f**k's sake, touch me already!"
Ashly was rubbing herself against the bed, trying to get some kind of friction. but to no avail. She cried out even more as her hand wandered into her pants, gripping her v****a, which was leaking fluid. Ashly moaned loudly as she rubbed herself, but it wasn't enough.
Alex tries to control himself and his Alpha, who wants nothing but to mark Ashly, and Ashly is not helping him either. But Alex knows Ashly is not in the right state of mind.
If she is, she will never let Alex touch her in any way, not now at least. Alex shook his head. He didn't want to get beat up by Adom or Allen.
Alex takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He will control himself; he will not let Alpha take him over. He wants their relationship to start with love, not lust.
