The Omega For Sale

The scent of roses lingered on even as the last feeling of sleep ebbed. A wide smile painted my face even with my eyes still closed at the memories of the beautiful dream that I had just been having.

I flipped open my eyes and the bright light that filtered into the room blinded me for a moment. One thing that came with the knowledge of my pregnancy was better sleep for me, I couldn’t tell why the change had happened but it did.

I usually slept in till the late morning and it made me feel better. I was now less cranky, less tired and that was all I needed to feel happier.

As I rolled over to Greyson’s side of the bed? I stretched out my fingers to touch the space he usually occupied and the cold sheets proved that the Alpha had been out of the bed for a while now.

It was pretty normal now to wake up without Greyson beside me since I usually woke up really late but it didn’t mean I was getting used to it. I still craved the warmth of the man like never before.

I stayed in bed for a moment longer, just basking in the morning sun while rubbing my stomach that was getting bigger and bigger everyday. It was still surreal to think that my body was currently housing two children.

Before Jessy, I had never pictured myself as a mother or believed that it would be something that I would be able to pull off. It had always just been one of those things that seemed far fetched for me and now I was going to be a mother of three children. It was a pretty big change.

The door creaked open and a mop of blonde hair peeked into it. When I made eye contact with her, she gave me the biggest smile her four years old lips could manage and I returned it immediately.

“Hey baby.” I called out in greeting and Jessy entered the room completely, her favorite green bunny hanging off her arm, before climbing onto the bed and scooting until she was sitting next to me.

“Hi mommy.” She greeted, moving straight to my stomach to pat it.

“Babies sleeping?” She asked and I let out a laugh before humoring her with a positive response.

“Where’s your daddy Jess?” I asked and she looked confused for a second before she shrugged.

“I don’t know.” She said, before going back to play with her toy.

“Wanna go find him for me?” I asked and she nodded her head before moving out of the room again.

I struggled to a sitting position and groaned when my back complained with the sudden movement. I moved slowly out of the bed and in the direction of the bathroom, filling the tub with warm water and adding a few scented soaps and oils.

Taking warm baths had quickly become my favorite morning routine as it helped to take the stress off me and had me feeling better every single time.

I soaked myself in the water for a while, until I could feel the tension leaving my bones before I was rinsing off and getting out of the bath, wrapping a huge, fluffy towel around my frame.

Once I was in the large closet, I let the towel fall from my frame and I cringed when I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror. If Greyson were here, he would have reassured me of how beautiful I looked and it would have been enough to calm the voices in my head that were currently making me feel otherwise.

But he wasn’t.

And now, all I could see was a bloated figure with a bump and I sighed in resignation. The twins were making me eat a lot more and the effect was evident.

I pulled out one of the big dresses that I had resulted to wearing and quickly slipped it onto my frame, rubbing my fingers through my long blonde hair, I didn’t bother trying to pack or style it, because Greyson would only pull out the band or ruin it with his fingers.

Jessy wasn’t back yet, so I assumed that she had actually found Greyson but had decided to spend time with him instead of coming back to let me know. I didn’t bother with looking for either of them because food sounded like a much better option at the moment and so I moved in the direction of the kitchen.

“Hi Mama!” Christie greeted in the way that she had gotten used to doing since the news of my pregnancy spread through the house. The name always made me laugh each time she called me it. This time was no different.

“Hi Christie. How are you?”

“I’m alright, I just miss you a lot.” She said and although she tried to hide the sadness in her voice, I knew Christie well enough to be able to detect the slightest change in her tone.

I moved towards the maid and engulfed her in a hug.

“I miss you too. You know I spend most of the day by myself. Especially now that Jessy has begun school. So your company is very welcome Christie.” I said to her and she offered me a smile. One that did not quite reach her eyes.

“I don’t think Master would appreciate me in his room but I’ll take you up on the offer as long as it’s not in his room.”

Christie began serving some food into my plate and we chatted while she did that. I sat on one of the chairs in the kitchen while I ate and it wasn’t until Christie and I both stopped speaking for a minute before I noticed how silent the house was.

Well the maids were usually quiet but not Jessy. Especially since she began school and had more things to talk about and enough people to indulge her.

“Do you have any idea where Greyson is? I sent Jessy to look for him and I thought she might have been caught up with playing with him wherever she found him but the house is too silent right now. There’s no way those two are in one place and it’s this quiet.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Christie turned away from me and began filling the sink with water. I frowned at her action. Did she not hear me?

“Christie?” I called out and the maid responded but without looking in my direction.

“Did you hear anything I just said?” I asked and finally she turned in my direction.

“Yes, I think Master went out. He’s probably going to be with his Beta or something.” She commented and just as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

Finally, he was home. It was the weekend and no matter how busy he got, he usually tried to avoid working during the weekends. So it was a little surprising that he had gone out for work today.

I heard the sound of footsteps coming in the direction of the kitchen and soon Smith appeared at the entrance.

“Thought I might find you here.” Was the first thing he said when he saw me.

It wasn’t far fetched since lately, I usually had my breakfast around this time and since Greyson usually ate earlier, I preferred to eat in the kitchen with Christie as my company.

“Smith, how are you?” I asked, offering a small smile to the Beta which he immediately returned.

There was just something in Smith’s attitude that changed from the moment I told him about my pregnancy. The Beta had looked shocked when I delivered the news but he recovered quickly after then.

But it wasn’t his initial reaction that bothered me. It was after that one. It was the way his eyes drifted to my stomach every time he spoke to me. Or how I always caught his eyes lingering on my frame whenever he thought I wasn’t looking.

The Beta was also less expressive with me and that bothered me more than I could admit.

“I’m alright. Is Greyson upstairs? He was supposed to give me an update concerning a meeting that we were supposed to have today but I haven’t heard from him and I can’t reach his phone.” The Beta explained and it felt like my heart skipped a beat.

“What? You’re the only person I thought he would be with and I haven’t seen him since I woke up.” I said, panicked.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll find him if I look around.” Smith assured, but it didn’t exactly make me feel better.

The Beta turned around and exited the room leaving me more worried than he had found me.

“I thought you said he was with Smith.” I said to Christie. The anger in my voice was hard to control.

“I didn’t say for sure Freya, I saw him leave the house with Jessy and I assumed.” Christie replied and I sighed in frustration.

I knew that I couldn’t pour my anger on the maid so I muttered an apology and left the kitchen, heading back to the masters bedroom to relax with a book.

Greyson had begun buying me a couple of them when he discovered my love for them and I was most grateful that it never failed to keep me company, especially at the moment when my mind was whirling with worry.

***

I blinked my eyes open and for a second I tried to remember falling asleep but I couldn’t. A familiar scent drifted into my nose and I smiled, sitting up immediately on the bed. The sight of Greyson and Jessy both kneeling at my side with wide, suspicious smiles on their faces made my own smile falter.

Firstly, these two were in trouble for all the worry they had put my poor heart into in the last couple of hours, then both of them smiling like that could never mean anything good.

“Hi Mommy!” Jessy said first, her bluish gray eyes sparkling in excitement. My lips twitched at the sight but I refused to give in.

“Where have you two been? I’ve been worried! You couldn’t even tell me where you were going at the very least? I thought something bad had happened.” The pitch of my voice rose higher and higher as I spoke and that frustrated me.

The pregnancy hormones always chose the wrong time to mess with me, because why the hell was I crying when I was trying to be tough with them?

Greyson and Jessy both climbed onto the bed and while I buried myself in the Alpha’s open arms my child stroked my back and hair. In a couple of minutes, I felt much better but I still didn’t let go. I was enjoying the attention too much.

“We have a surprise for you.” Greyson said softly, pressing a kiss on my forehead when I raised it.

“Really?”

“Yes mommy. Come see it. So beautiful.” Jessy was jumping up and down the bed and her excitement was contagious.

“Okay, but I need to pee first.” I said and they both laughed at me.

Once I was done with my business, I followed them both out of the room and they led me in the direction of the garden.

The house looked empty and was eerily silent but I continued to follow the duo. The moment the door that led to the garden was opened, I couldn’t help the gasp that escaped my lips.

The garden had been decorated so beautifully. Lights were hung all over the garden, and the illumination it created made the place look so magical and the floral arrangements that hung all around including the table that sat in the middle of the space took my breath away. It truly was enchanting.

The table had three chairs around it and atop it was an array of dishes, the most beautiful spread I ever saw.

“Do you like it mommy?” Jessy asked with hope and excited sparkling in her eyes.

“Of course babe. I love it! Thank you.” I said before turning towards Greyson who was standing behind me, seemingly observing me.

Before I could speak, he took my lips in a kiss and I melted on the spot.

This garden had sort of began our love story, it was here all those months ago that we had shared that little kiss that had opened the way to the beautiful life that we were now trying to build.

“I want a kiss too daddy!” Jessy said, tugging on her father’s pants and of course he picked her up and smothered her in kisses.

The little girl had the man wrapped around her fingers, he refused to admit it but it was clear for everyone else to see. I placed a kiss on her cheeks when she asked for it and her cute giggle made us all laugh again.

“Can we eat now? I think I’m vewy hungwy.” Jessy voiced and I chuckled.

“Okay princess. Your wish is my command.” Greyson responded and we all moved to settle around the table.

And under the moonlight, we had the best dinner as a family.
