CHAPTER 68: 068

Tristan wasn’t surprised when he was greeted by the white walls of the ward again.

He was only a little surprised he was alone this time but the door opened a few minutes later and Nita walked inside.

"You’re awake, that’s great". She said but her voice was rather solemn.

"We have a little problem". She started after she sat beside him.

Tristan silently urged her to continue with his gaze, things might not be going great but he didn’t fancy another one adding to the pile.

"Boston had found out about...your pregnancy". She said with a little hesitation.

Tristan had no words to say to her, it’s no doubt that Boston gave reports to Alpha Mitch. And in no time the Alpha would also find out.

Tristan thought with dread.

Then he would think the worst of him.

"How?" Tristan croaked out exhaustedly.

"The doctor blurted it out, that damn old man. I literally begged him to keep the secret but he couldn’t wait to spill it at the slightest chance he got!" Nita vented angrily and Tristan could only sigh as he listened to her.

The deal is done what’s left is facing it, he doesn’t even want to imagine what facing the Alpha would be like.

"I may be damned but I know what’s good for him". The doctor spoke suddenly from the door and Nita flinched after being caught red handed.

"Since you both didn’t do what I asked, don’t blame me for being blunt". He continued and silently checked on Tristan.

"It’s not like I don’t want to, things are just too complicated".

Tristan thought weakly.

His fever didn’t drop and they spent the night there.

"I feel like a regular customer here now". Nita commented as they walked back to the car the following day.

Tristan didn’t say anything to her witty comment and she looked over to see him deep in thought.

"What are you thinking about?". She asked with a crease in the middle of her brows.

She noticed he had been constantly tuning on and off since the day broke.

"Nothing" Tristan replied at first but her unwavering gaze made him reveal the contents of his thoughts.

"I think I should return to him". Tristan said carefully.

She stared at him in disbelief.

"Tristan". She called softly with a surprised look on her face.

"I’m scared Nita, my body seems so weaker than I would imagine. I can’t do it alone".

"You are not alone.

You know that I would always be here no matter what, so why do you think you are alone?" Nita asked, her eyes filling up with tears.

The beep of the car horn startled both of them and they looked towards the car to see Boston staring at them with a frown.

They followed each other into the car and neither spoke again till they got home.

"I want to meet Alpha Mitch tomorrow, can you take me to him?" Tristan asked as Boston held the car’s door for him.

Boston didn’t ponder on what he asked as he knew it had something to do with the doctor’s instructions.

He had also been wondering why the Omega still stayed away even after he was warned not to.

Hence, he nodded without questions.

***

Alpha Mitch was in his study drinking when Boston’s call interrupted the silence of the room.

He picked up the call immediately, it was unusual for him to call in the morning so he was surprised.

"Yeah, what is it?" He said into the phone, masking his eagerness.

"He said he wants to meet you tomorrow". Boston said into the phone, he had no proper way to address the Omega so he opted out of saying his name.

"He wants me to come?" Alpha Mitch frowned as he stood up from his seat.

The thought of meeting the Omega sent a strange sensation through his body.

These past few weeks had been very slow and hard although he had gotten used to his absence.

"No, he wants to come over to you". Boston replied from the phone and that made him confused.

The call ended and he could not explain what was going on.

He had decided to just let him be and continued living his life while watching him.

He had been very angry when he saw his interaction with Trevor at the party. It had felt like a punch on his guts because the two of them had seemed good together.

And now, he was asking to meet him again.

He picked up his phone and called Boston.

"Yes Alpha". Boston replied from the other end.

"Is everything alright with him?" Alpha Mitch asked, his suspicions growing.

Boston went quiet for a few seconds but quickly erased every doubt in the Alpha’s mind. He made a promise and he planned to stick to it.

"Everything is fine". He replied clearly and firmly.

Alpha Mitch dropped the call and the door creaked open almost immediately.

Adriana walked inside the study smelling like wild flowers doused in lavender oil. Her hair was put up revealing her sumptuous neckline and breasts as the neckline of her dress hung very low.

"I have been waiting for you". She said softly and joined him by the window.

Alpha Mitch looked at her with little interest and concealed disgust. Her presence has taken his attention from the Omega

He found out recently that she had been switching between him and Alpha Raul and that that is why he refused to get any closer to her.

Even when his body burned with unspent passion he preferred to suffer in silence than to have sex with her but she had been trying.

She wanted them to get married, he wouldn’t mind if things were just slightly better and she isn’t a potential danger to him.

"Lunch has been ready since the past ten minutes and you’ve been here drinking. Let’s eat". She said sweetly and her eyes went to the half empty glass cup.

Alpha Mitch held back a groan at her effort to act demure, she had always been bold and provocative.

He preferred that.
