Arrange Marriage With Alpha Lucus Chapter:- 72
The sunlight peeking through the cracks of the drapes was what finally broke through Lucus restless sleep. He groaned as the bright light caused his head to pound, with the taste of bile and stale alcohol still present on his tongue."Are you finally awake?"Lucus cracked an eye open to find Zia staring at him from across the room."There's a glass of water and aspirin on the dresser next to you. When you're ready to talk, come out."With that, she walked out of the room, leaving Lucus to collect himself as memories from the night before filtered through his aching head. Sighing, he took the aspirin and downed the glass of water before trudging to the bathroom. Feeling slightly more alive after a quick shower, he threw on sweats and a shirt before going out to the living area of the hotel suite he had booked. Zia was seated on the small island of the kitchen, nursing a cup of coffee as she munched on a muffin. Lucus grabbed a mug and poured herself a cup from the still-full coffee pot

"Hey.""Hey."An awkward silence filled the air between the two as Lucus seemed to wait for Emma to say something."Umm... I just ordered for us. I hope you don't mind.""That's fine.""I just got a matcha latte for you. It's the only thing that's not too bitter here.""I actually like coffee a lot more now. It comes with owning a cafe.""Right. I didn't realize you had started your own business. I heard from Jasmine.""I did. I'd be happy to tell you the story of how it all came about if you want to know.""Maybe some other time."Another silence took over as the years they had spent apart made themselves apparent with how little they now knew of each other."You okay? You seem a little... worn out."Lucus grimaced slightly. "Can you blame me after last night?""Right, sorry," Emma mumbled, looking down as she felt a twinge of guilt fill her heart."You know, it's fine. So, what made you change your mind? I thought you didn't want to see me again.""I was brought to realize that that

Getting bored and tired of running back and forth, Clary trudged up to where the two were sitting and wrapped her arms around Emma."I'm hungry, mommy. Can we eat something?""Sure sweetheart. Why don't you go dry your legs off with your towel, and I'll set up our spot?"As Clary followed her instructions, Emma and Lucus worked together to set up their beach towels and an umbrella for shade. As Emma pulled out some sandwiches and a bowl of mixed fruit, Lucus pulled out some drinks from the little lunchbox that Emma had brought and placed them next to the food. It hit Emma briefly how, despite their time apart, they still worked well together, filling in what the other had missed. The observation shocked her, as she felt old emotions make themselves known in her head. But along with the nostalgia of love came the recollection of pain, and Emma grimaced, knowing their time together had resulted in more tears than joy."You okay?"Emma looked up to find Lucus staring at her in concern.F

"I'm done, Mommy!"Emma looked up from where she was putting the last of Clary's lunch items together. She just had to make rice, stir-fry the items that had already been prepared, and pack everything up in the morning while Clary got ready for school."You washed and brushed your teeth.""Yes!""Did you pack your bag?""Mhm. And you can look at my homework, which is on my desk.""You did well. Okay, let me just put this in the fridge, and then I'll tuck you in.""Okay!"As Emma rushed around the kitchen, putting the compost and regular trash in the right bags, putting the containers in the fridge, and washing the knife she used, Clary held her arms out and wailed that she was waiting. Emma laughed at what her daughter was doing and ran over to pick her up. As she laughed, she blew a raspberry on her stomach. She didn't pay attention to the flip in his stomach when she smelled cedarwood instead of the roses her daughter usually gave her."All right, let's go to bed!", she said as she

"Did you want to eat dinner with us? If you don't have to be in the city right away, you're welcome to come with us.""I'd love to," Lucus finally said, giving in to the change in the talk. "So, you make dinner every night, right?""When I get home early enough at night, yes. When I'm at home, I try to cook.""Are you rarely at home?""Unfortunately, my job takes up a lot of my time."Lucus tried not to sound rude when he asked, "What does your typical schedule look like?"""I have classes Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings, usually right after I drop Clary off at school. Then, Thursday through Friday, I have afternoon lessons that end around 8 p.m.""What about the cafe?""Mm, usually Thursday and Friday mornings until I have to go to the dance studio, then a full day on Saturdays.""Where is Clary most of the time at these times?"Emma stiffened when she heard Lucus annoyed voice. As she looked at the alpha, she put the plate of rolls on the table with a small clatter."When sh

When Clary got out of the car and saw Lucus, she smiled very big."Here you are!""Hello cake!"She ran up to him and grabbed his hand right away. As they went back into the building, Lucus gripped her hand tight."How'd school go?""I liked it! A new story was told by our teacher!""What was the story?""Wizard of Oz!""That sounds like a lot of fun! I liked Toto from the start."You're such a fool,"Emma was already at the door when they got there. Her eyes were still a little red and swollen, which made Clary run right over to her."Mommy, what's the matter?""There's nothing wrong, honey. Earlier, Mommy was cutting onions. You know how sad they make Mommy.""Rubbish onions."Lucus couldn't help but agree with Emma that whatever or whoever made her cry was very bad. Emma seemed to know that Lucus was feeling bad about himself because of it; she shook her head and said, "Don't, it's okay."After Emma helped Clary wash her hands and put on clothes she would wear at home, the three of

Emma skimmed through a final checklist as she leaned against her car, making sure that she had everything covered before picking up Clary from Jasmine's apartment. Despite the trip only being for a day, it was the first time she had left town overnight since she had arrived there seven years ago. It was also the first trip she and Clary were taking together outside of the region, and she was both excited and anxious. The city was home to many fond memories but also recollections of pain and disappointment. This trip was a way of starting the journey of facing her past, and she was ready for it with her daughter by her side.Satisfied that she had everything she needed, she pulled out her phone and dialed the now-saved contact in her phone."Hey, where are you?""Hey Lucus. I'm about to pick up Clary right now. Hopefully we'll make it by around 8:30. Sorry, we're coming so late.""Not at all! Just drive safely and take all the time you need. I'm going to start cooking, so the food will

"I couldn't bear to get rid of the shelf. It was the first thing we built together when we moved in. I didn't want to lose all of it.""If you don't mind me asking, why didn't you move?"Lucus gave a dark chuckle as he rubbed his face. "For the same reason, I never changed my phone number. Just in case you decided to look for me again, I didn't want it to be hard to find me.""Lucus...""It's okay, Emma. I know you said it wasn't going to happen. I won't push you into it. I only want us to be together again if that's what you want."Emma sighed as she fidgeted with her fingers, considering her next words before she responded."I don't... I have no hard feelings towards you, Lucus."The omega hesitated briefly before she reached forward, taking one of Lucus hands into her own. She played with Lucus fingers as he continued."At first, I was filled with so much hurt and these bouts of anger and hatred, but they faded as I came to terms with what really happened. Although it's true that I

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. Satisfied that everything was

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
