Danger Zone - Chapter 270

***Ten years later***

“Alpha! That’s not how you should do it! How many times do I have—Alpha!”

Drax is laughing his butt off after eating a piece of carrots from his child’s small hands while Aiden is eating them how to eat their vegetables and fruits. Their kids had to learn how to eat their vegetables but their Father is spoiling them not to.

“Come on, love. Let them eat when they want to eat.”

The Omega exasperated a sigh before accepting his defeat on his family. This has been going on for days and he just wants for his kids to learn how to eat their veggies. It has been ten years and none of his kids know how to eat them.

It is a bit hurting on his part, knowing that none of his kids do not follow his requests on eating their vegetables and only following their father’s orders. He feels useless. Unlike Nigel, whose kids are both scared of him and is already eating their vegetables at this age.

Did he do anything wrong?

The Omega’s scent suddenly becomes sour as he walks past his Alpha, and Drax senses it. But he is too late from grabbing his Omega and apologizing, the door slams and is locked from the inside.

The Alpha curses under his breath as he looks at his innocent children and sighs. The hell did he just do.

***

Days passed and Aiden is still not talking to Drax, making the Alpha anxious of his behaviors. He feels as if the Omega is getting distant from him and it is breaking the Alpha from within.

One night, after eating their dinner, the Omega calls out to his name for the first time after two weeks of not talking, making the Alpha giddy yet it turns into sour when Aiden says that they need to talk.

Aiden takes in a deep breath as he sets down his phone on the table. He looks up and takes notice how most of the pictures hung on the wall consists of him and his mate plus their kids.

There are pictures he and his Alpha taken with his parents; with their friends and many more.

But Aiden’s personal favorite is the selfie they had taken from their trip to Guyam Island. One of his mate’s arm is wrapped around his neck as the other held the camera.

They look so cute together and Aiden misses how sweet his Alpha is.

Ever since they came back from their trip, they got so busy that the Alpha often forgets that his Omega needs some attention as well. He even indicates this through body languages but the Alpha pushes him away when their kids need something.

It has been years now since they did it and it looks like the Omega has been drying out lately, making him think whether this is the right choice to ask for it or no.

Yes, Aiden is sex-deprived. And it looks like the Alpha doesn’t see it or if he does, the Alpha is pranking him of not seeing how desperate he is for sex right now.

But thinking about what had happened a few days back, Aiden is not sure whether he can prolong this relationship anymore.

Someone knocks the front door and Aiden prepares himself for what is about to happen. It is now or never, not even bothering to check his reflection to see if he looks okay—because Aiden has been checking the whole day he is done with that shy—he goes to open the door for his Alpha.

Standing at the door is his mate, looking as if he rushes here once he receives the message, but he isn’t smiling. He looks more anxious than getting caught eating one of their kids’ carrots.

The Omega steps sideways to let his Alpha in. Drax gives the Omega a wary look and brushes his hair backwards as he makes his way to the sofa.

The Alpha usually does that gesture when he is nervous or anxious. Well, he should be since his Omega is planning on something that will make his heart raise and asks himself why did he even married Aiden in the first place. Suddenly Aiden isn’t sure if he is ready to end it.

“So, you said you wanted to talk, what did you want to talk about?”

Aiden takes his place on his Alpha’s left side and recites his script in his mind. Oh god this is really it, Aiden’s heart is beating very fast and he prays that his Alpha can’t hear it.

He takes a deep breath and stars speaking.

“A-Alpha… I know I haven’t been talking to you for days now and I think you have the slightest idea as to know why. I-I am trying to keep this in me but what happened weeks ago is too much and I don’t think I can resume to my normal state anymore.

I-I feel helpless, anxious, and a bad parent whenever my kids don’t follow me at all. And-And I am so ha-happy that you are there to help me bu-but, Alpha… I-I…”

Slowly as Aiden says his speech, Drax can feel the urge to hug him and tells him that everything will be okay and that he is a strong person. And will also promise not to spoil the kids when he is trying to train them to each their veggies, but he just can’t help it.

Seeing Aiden cries of simple things right now, breaks the Alpha’s heart. He should’ve knows this in the first place since they are always together. He should’ve known that the Omega will feel something like this after what had happened a few years back.

At the cupcake incident. But the Alpha did not budge and thinks that it is just nothing. That it will not happen again. But here he is now, regretting not to observe his mate’s reaction more and spoils their children as to what he thinks is supposed to be right.

“O-Oh, my Omega. Your—”

“I think we should end this Alpha. I don’t think it is working anymore.”

The Alpha’s heart drops to the ground when he heard it. What the fuck? Just like that? No! It can’t be!

“Wa-Wait… A-Aiden… Be-Baby… What do you mean?”

Aiden looks up to his Alpha—with now blank eyes; no expression or whatsoever—says his next line that he has been thinking for the past few weeks of not talking to his mate and consulting different people.

“Let’s hire a maid and let her take care of the kids so we can have our alone time.”

For a moment neither of them talk and suddenly, Aiden isn’t so sure both of them had want this. Was he rushing things?

What if— Before Aiden can over think much, the Alpha pushes him away and shed some tears before choking at his own breath before looking at the Omega again.

“You little shit! I thought you are divorcing me!”

The Omega blinks his eyes before realizing what his words meant and laughs at the Alpha’s reaction.

“You are so bad! Why would you do this to me?! Argh! Aiden!”

The Omega just continues to laugh as the curious kids enter their room, eyes filled with curiosity. Aiden opens his arms for his little boy, Sebastian, as the young boy runs to his arms while holding a small carrot.

“What? Do you really think that I will divorce you over simple carrots? Heck no, Alpha! I will divorce you because you ain’t give me what I want! I want sex! And where are you?! Busy with the kids!

That’s why! I suggest that we should hire a maid to take care of them!”

As firm as he can, Aiden looks at the Alpha straight in the eyes while Sebastian and Luna looking at their parents as if they are crazy.

“You could’ve just said it nicely and not—ARGH!”

Aiden chuckles at the mad Alpha who happens to be hating at how his Omega pranks him like this. He should’ve known since he is marrying Aiden but he did not anticipated something like this.

In the end, Drax agrees to get a babysitter for their kids and it happens to be Marlene, who has been asking Mischka for a part time job and suggests his friend to Drax in which the Alpha accepts immediately.

After all the fuss and sweet fights from the pair, Aiden has gotten more what he bargained for and often complains at how his waist is hurting or how he walks like a toddler to his new best friends, Mischka and Marlene, also his pregnant (again) best friend, Nigel.

“You know you can ask for another kid. It has been twelve years, Aiden.”

The brown haired Omega looks at his round best friend before sighing. He knows that he wants to have another child but he doesn’t know how to ask his Alpha.

“Bitch, how? Drax will kill me.”

Nigel chuckles as he leans on his best friend and whispers inappropriate words that made the Omega smiles sardonically. Mischka shakes his head when he suddenly feels something around his stomach and proceeds to vomit it out.

“Looks it is only you now, Aiden.”

Aiden whines before falling to his back, making the other laughs at his behavior and thinks how he should tell Drax about this mayhem.

Two moths later, Aiden is pregnant again with triplets.
