All Chapters of A Baby For The Alpha (Book #1 Omega's series): Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The walk back to the castle was long and tiresome but Cassy barely felt it with all the anger shimmering in her. Lino to his credit said nothing to her as they walked and kept a safe distance away from her. He stopped them once to rest and handed Cassy a waterskin. She refused to take it from him and when he dumped it on her lap, she threw it at his head. Lino, of course, ducked before it could reach his head. "What is your problem? You won't let me explain and you won't let me apologize either." She said nothing, glaring at the ground and stomping her now healed foot into it, digging several holes into it. They continued not long after that, and Cassy trailed behind Lino silently. She would have left him behind but she didn't know the way back to the castle and she didn't want to get lost. So, she would bear watching his back for a few hours more and once they reached the castle, she would--frankly, she didn't even know what would happen once they reached the c

“Lino. . .” Cassy trailed off, turning her cup over again. “It’s empty.” Lino laughed. He quite preferred her this way. At least, she spoke to him nicely, and wasn’t inclined to tear off his balls. “Shall I get you another?” Her lips puckered and she nodded vigorously, quite like a child would when he was offered cookies. Lino’s smile broadened and he crouched down in front of her, taking the cup from her hand. Her eyes widened and she extended her hand, cupping his cheek as she stared at him with pure fascination. Lino went still. He wasn’t sure he was breathing anymore. Her touch. . .it was loving. He couldn’t remember the last time he had felt like he was at home. Cassy felt like home. It made him feel strange inside. So strange, he pulled away from her fingers abruptly. But Cassy wouldn’t let go of him. Somehow, she caught a lock of his hair between her fingers and she began to pull lightly on it, giggling. “Your hair is red.” A smile teased his lips as s

Cassy suddenly recalled why she hated horses so much when they began the journey back to their home. The horse under her would not stop growling and tossing her off it. It just wouldn’t let her stay upon it. Lino was of the mind that she was scared of it and didn’t trust it, thus the reaction. He mentioned that horses could feel the fear of their riders. Cassy tucked the information away for later, trying her best to stay calm and climb it, but when it would not stop throwing her off, Lino had dragged her over to his horse and pulled her atop it with him, forcing her to ride with him. She kept a scowl on her face, even if she enjoyed the ride. She leaned back into him and his arms went around her waist to grip the reins of the horse. She could feel his steady breaths on her ear and somehow it felt soothing. Calming. They said nothing to each other and remained that way. Cassy dozed off at some point and when she woke up to Lino murmuring in her ear, night had fallen and they

Cassy arched a brow, “Scared of what?” “That you would leave me, Cass. You are the brightest and kindest woman I have ever met. I couldn’t imagine telling you the truth. It would hurt you so much and you would hate me for it. And perhaps, it wasn’t the best thing to do but I assure you that all I thought about was you before I made that decision.” Cassy swallowed, hard. “And if I had given birth, you would have taken him from me without telling me?” To that, Lino said nothing, and Cassy had her answer. She didn’t know what to feel. Anger or sadness. Maybe both. But it wasn’t directed at Lino. It was directed at the one who placed him in such a situation. Having to give his own child away without even naming him. Having to choose between his life and that of his child’s. And because of his sense of duty and oath to place the back first, he would always choose himself. She began to turn away from him, but he held her arm, stopping her. “I am sorry, Cass. I really am. If ther

Cassy surged forward, sobbing, and trying to explain to talk to her parents but they didn’t seem to want to see her, let alone hear what she had to say. As if sensing her sudden agitation, Lino burst through the door, an unstoppable force. A broken sound escaped Cassy when his gaze found hers and his nostrils flared at the sight of her tears. “I demand to know what you have done to my daughter this very minute!” Her father bellowed and Cassy flinched, stepping away from him, retreating to a different corner of the chambers. “Mr. Benson,” Lino began, taking three quick strides to settle himself beside Cassy. He placed an arm around her shoulder and pulled her to him, squeezing tightly but not painfully on Cassy’s shoulder. A gesture of reassurance that he would handle it. He said as much into her head and she relaxed against him, feeling safe in his warmth. She couldn’t be more grateful that she wasn’t handling her father’s wrath alone. Or at all. She was a coward. She cou
