Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate

“I am sorry, Suzy. I wanted to tell you before doing anything. I even looked for you everywhere but you didn’t tell me you went out. I needed to go to the basement immediately and when everyone was busy, that was the perfect time to do that. I didn’t want to lose that opportunity.” Athena quickly explained herself to Suzanne as Patricia sat there silently. She didn’t want to come between two best friends though she knew she belonged to that group as well now.

“I am letting it slide for the last time but I have two conditions.” Suzanne spoke up in a serious tone. Patricia and Athena shared a look before looking back at her with a frown..

“What are they?” She asked in confusion, thinking of the things Suzanne might demand for.

“First, you are going to tell us everything. Why did you go there, what you found out till now, what you have been doing. Everything. And secondly, you are going to tell us everything you do from now on. Include us i n everything. We are friends and we want to be beside you in your hard time. Because you need to understand that you can’t solve everything on your own.” Suzanne said in a strict tone and Patricia immediately nodded after her. Because her words made a lot of sense which Athena needed.

Athena let out a sigh after hearing her. She could understand what Suzanne was trying to say. But can she actually abide by it word by word?

“Listen to me, girls. First of all, I am very grateful to have you guys in my life. Secondly, you should know b y now that my life is more fucked up than anyone can imagine. Every stage of my life holds nothing but danger, in every step. So, at the end, what I am trying to say is, I promise to share everything with you unless it’s something dangerous for you. I will never do anything which can put you both or anyone close to me in danger. I don’t want to hear any argument about that. Now, you decide if you are into it or not.” Athena said in a serious tone and gave them some time to think and decide.

Suzanne and Patricia shared a small look and they immediately knew their answers. They had a look of determination in their eyes as they looked back at her.

“We are in it. Because we are friends.” Suzanne said in a serious tone.

“And what kind of friends we would be if we leave everything on you to share. We promise to be careful enough to notice things which you won’t be able to share with us.” Patricia added after Suzanne and they both nodded at her. Athena looked at them with a smile and her eyes got teary in gratefulness.

“So, let’s make a promise today.” Athena said with a big smile before forwarding her hand toward them.” Let’s make a promise to our friendship that we will never let it break. No matter what.” She said and they immediately kept their hands above hers.

“That’s a promise!”

“That’s a promise!”

They both exclaimed out loudly at the same time. They three ended up hugging each other after that. They pulled back after a few seconds and sat on the bed into silence.

“Okay, so let’s start now. Tell us everything. From the beginning.” Suzanne demanded, suddenly getting serious, Patricia also got serious as she gave her attention to Athena. Athena closed her eyes and let out a sigh. She gave herself a moment before looking back at them.

“The person I went to meet in the basement is my father.” She said mistakenly, out of habit but before they could react out loud. She quickly realised what she did. 

“Foster father! Foster father, I mean. Not my real father.” She quickly corrected herself.

“Gosh! You gave me a heart attack there for a second.” Patricia let out a sigh of relief and Suzanne seemed to be in the same state as her.

“Sorry, I said that out of habit. So, what I was saying is. He is someone who brought me up after finding m e by the end of the forest when I was hardly two or three years old.” She said while looking down, as the realisation started to hit back again.

“Oh my!”

“I am so sorry, sweetie!”
