When Lucus said that they were going home, Emma got confused. But then Lucus explained that Emma just got assaulted, and she didn't want Emma to be working today. Emma thought, Hey, that's nice. I could really use a day off by myself.

But now that they're at the mansion, Lucus doesn't seem like he's leaving. Emma knows that it's rude to ask, but she needs to know. "Lucus, um. Are you, um, staying?"

"Of course." Lucus answers curtly, like it should've been obvious. The Alpha removes his suit and lays it down gently on the couch before rolling up both sleeves of his white shirt, exposing his veiny forearms.

Fuck! Look away, Emma. Look away.

While Emma is battling with herself, Lucus moves to the kitchen and rummages through the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets. "You really need to stock up, Omega. You're running out of things."

Emma hears her Alpha voice from the kitchen, albeit a bit muted with the noises she's making while going through Emma's pots and pans. "Yeah, I planned to go gr

    The week passes, and Sunday finally comes. It's the last day before they are supposed to go back to work.Lucus chooses to waste the day away lazing around the house doing nothing, only getting a bath at noon. Emma, on the other hand, spends the day cooking a new recipe she's been dying to try since she saw it on the internet.Emma has just finished garnishing her duck stew when the doorbell rings. She places the dish on the dining table and moves towards the door to open it.Behind the door, she receives a greeting from an unfamiliar woman. She is petite and cute, with a pair of sharp eyes defined by thick eyeliner and even sharper jaws. Emma has no idea who the woman is, but she instantly admires her outfit. She's wearing a hot pink crop top paired with a short denim skirt and a pair of fishnet tights underneath."Lucus Wait, you're not Lucus!" She corrects herself, and Emma adores how her whole presence screams confidence."Um, yeah. Lucus is actually taking a shower. I'm Emma, and

    Their ride to the office the next day is quiet. To Lucus credit, he's been trying to make a conversation with Emma since morning, but the Omega just seems so distant for some reason.Emma can't stop being so mad at herself. She shouldn't have gotten comfortable. She shouldn't have gotten used to the domesticity of their relationship.She shouldn't have loved the Alpha so much.Emma is mad at how easily she forgot that everything changed only because Lucus needed someone to lean on, and she was a convenience because she just happened to be there.What was I thinking? Lucus isn't mine. He has never been mine."Omega!" Lucus nudges her with his free hand from the driver's seat."Sorry, what was it?""Are you alright? I called you like three times, and you're spacing out."Emma clears her throat before coming out with an excuse: "Yeah, I'm fine. Just maybe still a little sleepy. I'll have some coffee at the office.""I'd make you that coffee, Omega, but, um, I'm not going in until after l

    Emma's days at the office pass by in a blur. Emma goes to work, busies herself with the papers and documentation, and then she goes back home to a cold, empty bed. Lucus has been very busy too, going in and out of meetings, spending hours brainstorming with the team, and then more hours with the marketing team. They barely speak to each other since they came back to work, exchanging a few glances and smiles here and there when they pass by each other, and Emma can't keep telling herself that she doesn't miss Lucus anymore.Thursday proves to be just like the days before, when Emma spent every second at the office with her computer. Halfway through the day, Emma looks around her desk, feeling proud of the progress. She has finished almost half of the pending work she has had since last week. Taking days off has always come with the burden of work once it starts again, which is why Emma rarely takes any leave.Emma received a few texts from her colleagues asking her about her absence, b

    It's her birthday.Emma wakes up with a heavy feeling from what transpired the day before. There was her encounter with Sebestian where she wasn't sure if she'd made the right decision, and that question has been giving her a headache since morning. There was also the conversation with Lucus last night that made her feel like there's no possibility in this timeline they're living in that she'll be living happily with Lucus. It's like every time they take one step closer to each other, they back pedal two steps back.Work is only worse today since Lucus isn't there. Sometimes, Emma is scared for her own heart. She's scared of how much she misses Lucus and the short memories they had together. Though their interactions haven't been the same the whole week at work, at least Emma is content just seeing her husband's face at the office.Today could be her worst birthday.Emma continues her day with work and more work, other than answering some important clients' phone calls and informing t

    "I miss you so much, Omega. So, so much. I just can't tell you with words." Lucus whispers in Emma's ears, rubbing the Omega's back to offer comfort.Emma shakes her head, which is still on Lucus's broad and now wet with her tears. "You can't feel that, Lucus. You're not allowed to. Please don't feel that for me." Emma says in between sobs that small fists are hitting Lucus chest.Lucus immediately retorts, cupping Omega's wet cheeks with his hands and lowering his head down to meet Emma. He rests his forehead on Emma, their noses touching and lips grazing while they inhale each other's breaths."But I want to, Omega. I want to. So please let me."Emma's tears fall more, but this time Lucus catches them with his thumbs. He wipes Omega's tears dry and repeats her earlier request, "Ten minutes, Omega. I'll wait."Emma is riding an emotional rollercoaster. Her rational mind tells her to shut the door on Lucus and get to bed, but her heart wants Lucus. Always has, always willIn the end,

    Emma spends her entire Saturday morning cleaning up the house. She blasts the music to the fullest through her EarPods while mopping the floor and wiping the windows clean. Who knows that Mr. Brightside could make a great anthem while scrubbing the toilet tiles?It isn't until noon that the Omega finally finishes cleaning, with every single nook and cranny of the house spotless, before she decides to take a shower and prepare a hot cup of instant ramen for lunch.Emma likes cleaning. She likes that she gets to see the obvious results in an instant, like how a dusty floor gets shiny after she mops it or how stained windows turn clear and bright once she polishes them.More importantly, she likes how cleaning makes her forget, even for a little while. Emma refuses to allow herself to think about what happened last night. She refuses to remember her heartbreak being ditched at her birthday dinner, alone.After showering, Emma gets into the kitchen to start preparing her ramen, and that's

    Emma feels so bad for Jack when the man repeats his apology for the umpteenth time before leaving their table. Nobody would've thought that Lucus would tell a total stranger about their relationship when they'd specifically made a deal."Hey! That's not cool." Zia says once Jack is gone, "I thought you guys agreed that each of you was free to date anyone. Why did you sabotage Emma when you were dating Moni yourself? That's not fair!"There's a heavy silence following Zia's argument because she definitely hits a sore spot. After a moment too long, Lucus finally replies, "I just don't think that he's a good man.""It's alright," Emma says next. God, she really hates drama. "I'm not interested in seeing anyone right now. So, it's okay."When it gets a little too uncomfortable, Lucus stands up and announces that he's going to say hi to his friend, the head chef, before leaving the table.Once they are alone, Zia breaks her silence again. "How long have you had romantic feelings for Lucus?

    Lucus breathing is becoming irregular. It's getting impossible to control himself as he runs his fingers along Emma's lean body and moves further down. Down and down until he reaches Emma's waistband. He plays along the line of the stretchable band until his fingers accidentally graze the tip of Emma's things. The Omega is fully turned on by Lucus, and he loves that he made that happen.Emma's reaction is unrestrained. She hasn't been touched in so long. The moment Lucus fingers touch her tip, although just for a fraction of a second, Emma instinctively curves her back, landing her head on the Alpha shoulder while her ass pushes back on Lucus groin, and fuck, Lucus erection is huge, pressing proudly in between Emma's cheeks."Alpha..." Emma whines, already ashamed that she's breathless from nothing.Lucus answers with a hum that could pass as a low groan as well, his nose still pressing on Emma's neck while his arm reacts by pulling Emma in closer to him. Lucus knows that his breaths

    The air was filled with the subtle scent of lemons and candle wax.Gold tapestry runners featuring Batik motifs graced the tables by the entranceway to the hall, and crystal vases filled with white roses spilling out sat atop them, while bouquets of white roses wrapped in blue silk ribbons decorated the ends of the old wooden pews. The early morning sun shone through the stained-glass windows of the wedding hall and reflected pretty images onto the floor of the hall. Dozens of candles in every size were placed on the altar, ready to be lit when the ceremony started; they would lend a soft and warm glow to the happy couple as they stood before friends and family professing their love for one another.Zia studied the decorations with a critical eye—everything had to be perfect. She had pale yellow roses braided into her long dark hair and her dress, a long column of silver—not quite white and not quite grey—that shimmered under the lights with every moment.

    A small family could be heard all the way down the street from their apartment. A toddler was throwing a fit by the sounds of her crying and screams, and two people could be heard arguing."You! Get out of my home now!!"Emma hissed at her father, who was standing a few feet from his daughter and granddaughter, sporting a scowl.Emma was doing everything she could not to gently set her daughter down in her playpen and lunge for her father's throat. Nadia is now four years old; she's grown to be a beautiful toddler. She was clinging to her mother like her life depended on it and was crying hysterically. Emma was rocking back and forth in his arms and glaring at Robert in hatred."That thing is an abomination. She shouldn't even exist!" David spat, glaring at the toddler in disgust.The toddler whimpered at the insult and clung even tighter to her mother. Emma was enraged and could barely control herself. The only thing keeping her from screaming at her father was the little girl in her

    Emma complied, taking the last few steps towards Lucus. The Alpha pulled her into his arms, stroking her back lovingly. Emma wrapped her arms around Lucus as well, not able to prevent the smile she was holding back from spreading across her face. Lucus suddenly felt tense. Emma looked up at him and noticed a sour expression written across his features."What's wrong, Lucus?" She whispered."Nothing."Emma glared, not taking too kindly to being lied to. Lucus sighed in defeat and met her gaze. His eyes held so much sorrow and fear. "I'm not a good father," he whispered sadly.Emma gasped out in shock. How could Lucus think like that? It's not like someone can go from never being around children to being an expert on them in only a few weeks! Lucus was being too hard on himself, setting his expectations too high. Emma would do everything she could not to let Alpha beat himself up over not being experienced with kids."Lucus, you love both Clary and Nadia to pieces! How could you say tha

    Lucus made quick work of her shirt as well before Allen returned with a white hospital gown. Lucus lifted Emma up slightly so she could slip it on her. They had just laid Emma back down when a door burst open and the doctor walked in. She was wearing her pale pink hospital gown and white flats.She came strutting through like she owned the place. She shoved Lucus and Emma aside, making her way over to Emma. She was currently panting and sweating as if she had just run a marathon. She grabbed one of the towels from the nightstand and dabbed it with some of the cool water in the bucket. She wiped the sweat rolling down her face before she began setting up everything she would need for the delivery.The group sat there for the next hour and a half. It was silent. Allen was in the other room talking to Alex, who had arrived ten minutes beforehand. Emma had requested that they leave the room. She didn't feel comfortable with anyone witnessing her give birth to the baby other than Lucus. Sh

    A tap on Lucus window startled him out of his thoughts. He saw a woman in her forties with messy brunette hair standing in front of his window with a takeout bag. He rolled the window down, and she shoved the food at him. He rolled his eyes as she walked away. He looked down into the bag and noticed something strange.There was only lava cake.He snatched the bag and stormed out of the vehicle and into the restaurant. He slammed the bag on the counter in front of a startled-looking employee. She had her purple hair tied into a bun, and her green eyes were wide. He felt no remorse."I have been to two different Burger King's! I've had soda spill on my shirt, and then an old woman slapped me in the face! I got pulled over by a cop who vandalized my car and gave me a seven-hundred-dollar ticket simply because I'm married to Omega!

    5 Years Later:"Lucus!"Omega sighed, placing her rainbow-striped bookmark in her fantasy drama novel. She strode out of her office and into the living room.His Alpha was sprawled out on the sofa, his chin in his palm, as he watched an episode of Modern Family. Emma was wearing nothing but an oversized hoodie and a pair of grey shorts. Despite the baggie hoodie and fluffy red blanket covering her torso, her nine-month pregnant belly was obvious.They'd wanted to be married for a little while before they had another child. So, after two years of traveling the world and going on many fun adventures, they settled down back in their apartment with Clary. They then proceeded to make mad, passionate love all night long. It was more overwhelming than any other time. Of course, it only took one round to impregnate Emma, but once they got started, they couldn't get enough of each other."Yes love?" Lucus asked.He couldn't help but eye the dozens of candy wrappers strewn about the floor. The

    The whole idea had been Allen's.When she'd suggested the idea to Emma—to celebrate Clary's birthday in a cute and fun way that the little one could enjoy—she hadn't come up with anything wrong with it.Neither of them had taken in Alex as a factor, though. Which, between the three of them, they really should have?"I don't think that outfit is appropriate for children."Lucus raised his eyebrows in confusion. He gestured to Clary, who was clad in dark blue denim jeans and a deep green knit sweater, before turning to Emma with an expression that suggested he really thought Emma had lost her mind this time."I meant yours," Emma explained, pointing to Lucus bright yellow skin-tight jeans and glaringly obvious rainbow singlet, which he'd paired with a deep red jacket and black shoes."We're going to a zoo, Lucus, not a nightclub."Lucus pouted, and Emma sighed."Just dress it down a little for me today." She asked. "Please? I'll let you choose my outfit another time if you do this for m

    "Where are you getting it?" Zia asked Emma, taking a cotton ball and dipping it in antiseptic."On my wrist," she says, holding out her right arm. Zia nods, wiping the skin of her wrist beneath her palm.She puts the cotton ball down and then purses her lips."Could you... I might need you to swap chairs with Lucus; I don't want to do this upside down."Emma nods. "Of course."She and Lucus switch, darting past each other. Lucus raises his eyebrows, hoping to get something out of either of them, but neither Zia nor Emma say a word."This is borderline torture." He complains, flopping into his seat. Zia smiles sympathetically, as if to say "This wasn't my decision".Emma just looks a little nervous."So, I'm going to outline the drawing in marker first, so you can be certain of its placement, and then if you're happy, I'll start." Zia explains.Emma nods, her eyes darting over to Lucus before returning to Zia. She smiles encouragingly, picking up a black, fine-tip, skin-safe marker and

    "You want to get a tattoo?"Out of all the things Lucus ever thought he'd hear Emma say, getting a tattoo was not even a registered possibility."Yes." Emma nods, and Lucus knows Emma enough to accept that she's being completely serious."But you already have my mating mark on your body." Lucus states. He folds his hands behind his head, leaning backwards against the headboard. He had a feeling this conversation would be one he'd need to be relaxed for."Well, yes, but that's not the same." Emma replies. He sighs as Lucus raises his eyebrows."Mark's fade; some are permanent, but not all of them, and they're different. Mating marks speak of my mating. Tattoos are something that both of us can have, and it's more special and ... forever."Lucus leans over and kisses Emma's bare shoulder."You genuinely want this?" He asks to be certain. There's a warmth flooding him just from hearing that Emma wants to get something permanent that they can both share. Something different that no other
