Becoming the Luna

Chapter 350

Renee flinches back at this, making calculations in her head. "Still need more information to jog your faulty memory, Alex?" She asks him sarcastically. "Sierra High? Sorority party?... and oh I don't know, four months of dating? Dumping me when you found out I was pregnant, that seems like a lot to easily forget Alex."

Dia's eyes go wide. "You missed the birth of your last child to ruin a teenage girl's life? Wow, Alex, I always knew you were at rock bottom, I just didn't know you had long started to dig."

Virgil comes in at this point, he had caught the tail ends of both the ladies' words and the weight of his dominance is what catches the others' attention.

He sidled protectively between them and some sketchy looking man who was darting his eyes around like a cornered animal.

"Ren, Dia, is something wrong? Who the fuck is this?"

"Alpha Virgil, what a surprise to find you out here, I more like my husband and I have an appointment with you right now." Dia is quick to say, Renee placing a hand on Virgil's arm who looks like he's about to check out what his knuckle print would look like on Alex's face.

"The Alpha, good, finally, someone I can talk to around here." Alex finds his voice. "This strange human woman, walks up to me with bullshit accusations and my wife" He wraps a cruel hand around Dia's arm and pulls her viciously in his direction. "Who is pissed at me, decided to play along, why the hell are humans even allowed in the Pack House anyway?"

Renee leans back at this, taking her hand off Virgil and stepping back, the mouthy idiot had it coming.

Virgil's eyes flash gold, his anger that he was usually really good at keeping under wraps bubbling up so hot that he was pretty sure they could both smell it. 

"That's my mom." He says coldly to Alex who rapidly goes pale, stepping backwards even as Virgil takes a step forward, intimidatingly cracking his knuckles. "So I think the question here, trashmouth, is why you're here."

Alex backs away even more at this, Renee pulling Dia so they could hide behind Virgil's back, Alex's stuttering getting worse.

"Y-your m-mom b-but t-t...that's impossible."

Renee realizes that Alex thought that Virgil was his son with her and she chooses to not correct this mistake, Virgil looked like he had everything all under control anyway.

"Oh, and yeah, I married your son." Virgil adds to the older man, coldcocking him one good on his jaw.

Renee nudges Dia, a sneaky smile on her face as Alex slumps against the wall, out cold.

"Want to drag him up the stairs?" She asks.

An evil light plops into Dia's dark brown eyes at this. "We'll hold his legs, don't worry, he has a dense skull, he'll be fine."

"I'm so sorry." Hayden says softly when Dream is done explaining what happened right after he left Hayden - well, a lot was glossed over but, basically everything there was to know, except maybe his falling out with Dale.

Dream wanted to talk to Dale first before anyone else

"What? Why?" Dream stares across the table in surprise, they were long done with their breakfast but had been so engrossed in their discussion.

"It was because you had to come check up on me, that's why you got your heat." Hayden murmurs, taking a sip of cool water.

Dream snorts, waving his friend's worries away. "Please, it was going to happen anyway, best if I was expecting it."

"Is that why you left Dale's Pack House?" Hayden asks carefully.

Dream averts his face. "Yeah oh dear! Look at the time, we better get to shopping."

Hayden beams at this, Dream obviously didn't want to talk about it but if the other Omega was willing to come stay in their Pack House, it meant all hope wasn't lost.

He would find out when Dream was ready to open up.

"Mmhmm." Hayden nods, getting up and paying before Dream could bring out his wallet. 

"Uh uh." He shakes his head sternly. "I invited you, Dream, so I'll pay." He says seriously, slamming a palm on the table.

Dream flinches at this, shocked at his intensity. "O...kay?"

"Awesome." Hayden grins his eyes turning to slits with how widely he was smiling, like he wasn't just spitting fire a couple seconds ago.

"So how is it?" Hayden asks when they're settled in the car.

"Hmm?" Dream glances at him, distracted.

"Being pregnant." Hayden shrugs, he's the one driving this time.

"Pretty much the same as yours, it's weird being picky with my food, I'm usually down with everything, now it's trial and error with food." He smiles fondly at this point. "Poor Kieran, he's slightly emetophobic so he's always on his guard while we're eating."

He leans down to ruffle through his satchel, taking out a mint when it feels like his stomach is unsettled. "By the way, I just learnt that word and I've been dying to use it with someone else other than Kieran."

Hayden laughs at this, noticing the mint in his friend's hand. "You like mints now?"

"Strangely." Dream makes a face. "I hate that I do."

Another laugh bubbles out of Hayden. "Mine is worse, I can't seem to be able to get enough of strawberries"

"With melted chocolate topping." Dream adds in a muffled voice. "I saw." He chuckles - Hayden had ordered those at Honey's, the waiter's expression was priceless.

Even worse, it was his Luna and the poor thing looked like he really wanted to make a good impression.

"Wait isn't that your mate's scent?" Dream realizes with wide eyes.

"Oh my God!"

They both burst out laughing, Dream reaching for another month only to freeze up, sharing a wide eyed look with Hayden.

"No way!" Dream whispers.

"Yes way." Hayden laughs at him.

"That doesn't make any logical sense, we're too similar to be just a male Omega thing." Dream notes offhandedly.
