Becoming the Luna

Chapter 349

Hayden plops back on his chair in frozen shock for a couple seconds, realization settling in hard.

It would only mean one thing, that Dream's heat had started off right after his and Dale! He figures with a sharp gasp.

But right now, he shouldn't be worried about that, he thinks to himself, getting up in a hurry as he grabs more napkins from the table to follow after Dream who was most likely throwing up,

Before being apprehensive about the entire situation, he was excited, he had someone who he could share with and who would understand him.

"Dream?" He calls worriedly, stepping into the restroom which was gratefully empty to find his friend hunched over the sink looking pale.

Hayden is quick to move into action, wiping Dream's face although the other Omega weakly protests, pulling him into a hug when he's done.

He's not surprised at the soft sniffles that escape Dream, rubbing his back and shoulders comfortingly.

"It's fine, Dream, I'm so happy for you." He says with immense sincerity, choosing to not bombard his friend with questions.

Dream leans back to look at him with grateful eyes, taking more napkins to dry his eyes and blow his nose. "Thank you." He sniffs.

"Yeah" Hayden says absently, scrunching up his nose, whatever synthetic scented perfume they used in the place was triggering him. "We should maybe get back to our seats, I'm not vibing with this fake citrus scent." Hayden murmurs, a hand over his throat as he gulps.

This makes Dream crack up, laughing out loud with teary eyes. "Sure, I bet if Leon or Darian peek in and don't find us, there would be chaos."

*~*

"So, you're a lesbian now, huh, Dia?" Mr. Micall rounds up on his wife. "Or you're just trying to get back at me."

Dia makes a face of disgust at this, sipping her sweet tea quietly. "Firstly, why do you keep saying lesbian like you expected me to get offended and I don't care about you anymore, not for more than a decade, I wouldn't even buy earrings because of you, much less fall in love, now are you done?" She continues calmly. "We have an appointment, remember?"

He's stunned silent by her words, gritting his teeth as he picks up his leather jacket. "I'm ready, I'll definitely be better off without you anyway."

"Sure." Dia smiles patronizingly, going to keep her now empty cup in the kitchen. "Whatever helps you sleep better at night, Al."

They both get in Dia's car, Heather was the one taking care of the bakery for the morning, Dia wasn't even worried, it was Heather.

"I'll be moving into the Pack House as soon as I can arrange it." Al says rudely, eyes fixed on his phone. "Don't come running back."

"I'll try my best." Dia replies, giving him a tight smile, she had barely been in the car with him for a couple minutes but she already wanted to throw him out of her car.

"What do you mean we're out of strawberries?" Renee asks Jaxon who had inadvertently gotten the mantle of cooking for the fourth floor occupants now that Hayden wasn't the one doing it - Yes, Renee had moved in.

It wasn't as chaotic as Virgil feared, yet.

"Hay eats through them so fast." Jaxon panics, knowing that a throwing-up fit would follow if there were no strawberries for the Luna.

"As his main meals?" Renee asks, she had been busy with moving for the past couple days so she hadn't been around much.

She also didn't think it was healthy for her son to eat only strawberries.

Jaxon winces. "No, as snacks, I think, he just eats them Renee!" The Head Beta half wails, slapping both hands on his face.

"Okay, calm down Jaxie, I'll go get more." She quickly acquiesces, still confused as to how the literal truckload of strawberries she had ordered as soon as she found out about his craving was finished.

She was going to have to do something about all this strawberry eating who was she kidding? All Hayden had to do was ask for more and she would buy a couple farms full of the stuff.

They were probably not the right people to watch over a pregnant Hayden but she would give a lot to the person who could say no to Hayden.

She stopped by her apartment, which was beside Yanis' to pick up her bag, she would have to buy some from the market then place another order.

At least Yanis had handled the news of Hayden's pregnancy quite well so that was one less person to worry about, although Renee couldn't help but feel like he was still in shock.

Her phone rings just as she got to the foyer so she slows down to pick up, a couple coming in just at that same time, making her glance up, a smile on her face as she notices Dia.

"Oh, Dia, hi and" She turns to the man standing beside her friend, her heart stopping as a heavy sense of deja vu' hits her. 

"Alex?"

The man flinches backwards at this, Dia stepping back to watch the drama unfold in front of her.

"I-I'm sorry, who are you?" Alex tries to cover up.

Renee just hangs up on the call, she could deal with that later - who would think that she would find him right here, in Pine Creek Hayden's father

She studies him, he hadn't changed too much, still the cocky bastard he always was just older, his previously shiny blond hair that he was so proud of now flecked with grey, dark blue eyes now lined, although being a werewolf, it meant that he was definitely way older than he said he was when they first met.

While she was barely an adult

She ignores his apparent tries to cover up, something else hitting her.

"Wait, Dia, you said your husband was back?"

Dia steps forward at this, standing protectively beside Renee. "Yeah, I did, although he doesn't seem to need to be introduced." She says pointedly, glaring at him. "Alex, this is my friend, Renee, Ren, that Alex, my asshole of a husband."
