Free Web NovelChapter 29: Fries Temptation
"Looks like we are meeting twice today, Omega." Princess said.
I turned to see her in the electronics store I was in. Standing beside her was Beam.
For a second I just stood there. Of all the places to run into her, it had to be here.
"Hey you... what are you doing here?" I asked. I was like four to five feet away from them, not wanting to get close to her.
I kept that distance on purpose. Too close and her scent would hit me again. Too close and my stupid wolf would start acting up. At least I have to control myself.
"Today is Saturday. We hang out here every Saturday and Sunday. I should be asking you what you are doing here. Shouldn’t you be home... like resting?"
"I am here for my phone, but it turns out there is no screen, so I have to wait again until next week," I said. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
The technician behind the counter was still fiddling with tools, pretending not to listen.
"Yes, right, you are phoneless. One of the reasons I could not reach you yesterday..."
And who is the reason for that... speaking of Kiara, I wonder where she is...
"Come on, I’ll buy you a new phone," she said.
Just like that. Like buying a phone was the same as buying candy.
"I’m sorry, I am not. I am going to repair my phone. I waited for weeks and I can wait for another," I said, about to step out of the electronics store.
My foot had barely turned toward the door.
"I can’t let you go unless I get you one... it’s my responsibility."
I turned to her, still making sure I stepped away from her.
Another small step back. Just in case.
"Girl, buying me a phone is not your responsibility, it’s mine. Don’t act like you own me just because I am carrying your pups..."
"That’s right, I don’t own you, but I own the pups. As a co-parent. If I want to check up on my pups, how am I going to reach you? Do I have to sniff your clothes all the time to find out where you are...?"
I can’t believe she is saying all this, even in front of Beam, who had been quietly standing behind her.
Beam did not interrupt. She just watched. Arms crossed. Face blank.
Just because she has money doesn’t mean she has to flex it. I don’t want to be some baby mama who has to depend on their co-parent.
I don’t want to be that girl.
"So which one, Omega? You stay by my side 24/7 so I can check on my pups, or I buy you a phone right now..."
Is she fucking giving an alternative?
I stared at her. She stared back. Calm. Like she already knew how this would end.
There was nothing I could do. My argument with her did nothing. She ended up buying me a phone. After all the settings, she inputted her number. I reluctantly thanked her, but I am going to give her the phone back once the pups are out of the oven.
The box was still in my hand. Brand new. Expensive.
My stomach made a noise and she heard it. That was a sign I was hungry. The only intake I had was juice and an apple.
Her head tilted slightly. She heard it clearly. Of course she did. Werewolf hearing.
She made me follow her to an eatery to eat with her. I refused, then she used the words.
"I can’t let my pups be hungry. They need to feed."
Then her using the word pups to do what she wants. It was unfair. Completely unfair. This is day one and she is like this...
I sat down in an eatery booth, peacefully eating the burger when her scent filled my nostrils hard as she sat down beside me.
Not across. Beside me, close.
There were many empty seats to sit in. Far away. Opposite me. No. She sat down beside me.
I am having this feeling that she knows I can’t control myself when I am around her.
That she knows exactly what she is doing.
She stole one of my fries, dipped it in ketchup, and gave me a sad, tempting look before she slowly put it in her mouth.
It felt like slow motion. The fry. The ketchup.
Her lips closing around it. I couldn’t look away. I begged myself to, but I just couldn’t. My fingers tightened around the burger. My wolf was quiet. Watching.
I am blaming this on my wolf. This is all her doing.
I lost myself just by staring at her face. I never knew she was this beautiful. Her makeup was light, but her liner was beautiful. A bit of ketchup stained the tip of her upper lip.
I fantasized about using my tongue to lick it up. The thought came out of nowhere. Sudden. Sharp. And my stomach twisted again.
"Faye..."
Beam’s voice woke me up from my lucid dream. She was sitting in front of us.
I blinked.
"Huh," I muttered.
"Are you okay... you are drooling," she said.
Fuck, this is so fucking embarrassing. I need to get my mind away from her.
My hand went straight to my mouth. I wiped it quickly and focused on the burger.
Princess gave a wide smirk. She saw everything. Of course she did. Drooling for the Alpha princess, I wish to disappear..
"Where is Kiara?" I said, trying to give myself a distraction.
Anything. Any topic.
"Kiara is with her mom today," Princess said, still eating my fries.
She did not even ask. She just kept taking them.
"Oh... did you tell her about..."
"Of course I did. She is pissed, but she will come around. She always does," Princess said like it was nothing.
Like telling people about my pregnancy was just normal conversation.
I noticed Beam rolling her eyes while looking outside.
She clearly had opinions. But she kept quiet.
"You told everyone... even your brother?"
"Yes, I told my brothers and my grandpa. I even announced it yesterday at the club. Everyone knows that you are having my pups."
Fuck this bitch. My jaw tightened.
"Even in school...?"
"Everyone in my club are our schoolmates. Of course they know," Princess said.
She showed me her Oakgram. The screen was bright. Notifications everywhere.
So many people were congratulating her. So many hashtags.
#The Alpha Princess Soon to be Mommy.
#Congratulations President, can’t wait to meet your mini version.
#You dunked this one Princess.
#I see future basketballers.
Comments kept scrolling. Likes. Hearts. Fire emojis.
So many I couldn’t read them all.
"How the fuck are you the one getting the congratulations when I am the one who is having the pups..." I said out loud.
A few people looked over. Heads turned.
Then they noticed who was sitting beside me. Princess.
Immediately they looked away again.
Others around us glanced over, but when they saw it was Princess, they went back to what they were doing.
This is not fair. Not like I care. Maybe a little.
But no one mentioned the one who is pregnant.
I did not even see my name. Just Princess. Princess. Princess.
"Okay, my pizza is ready. I am going to get it," Beam said, leaving the booth to go get her pizza.
She slid out of the seat. Just like that. Now it’s only me and her.
Shit.
I wish Beam never left.
The seat suddenly felt smaller. Her scent stronger. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
My heat came back stronger. It’s like my anger or jealousy triggered it, and Princess noticed.
Her eyes slowly moved toward me.
Calm. Observing.
Like she could see straight through me.
"Do you want me to cool you down? I have a special place where we can do it right now?"
