‘Wake up baby’ Someone said in my head. I opened my eyes to see Xander looking at me.
Our night together flashed through my mind and I smiled. I had given myself to love again.
‘I can hear your thoughts chosen mate.’ Xander says and I giggle like a school girl.
‘I can’t hear yours..’ I say and in less than a second I could hear his. How he wanted to have me again. His hand started playing with my nipple as I felt those sparks that I’ve missed so much.
A low moan escaped me, I pull him down to me and kiss him. A knock on the door interrupts us and we pull away to throw daggers at our intruder.
‘Come on you two. Sabrina has an event to get ready for.’ I hear Josey’s voice through the door.
“What time is it?” I ask looking at Xander.
“A little after eleven. I really tired you out didn’t I?” He says with a smirk.
“That you did X, that you did..” I say getting up and putting on X’s shirt that was on the floor. He gets out of bed too and puts on his sweats before walking up to me and kissing my forehead.
“I’ve got to go make sure Lucas has everything in order. I’ll see you out there.” He says and walks to the door, opening it to reveal a giddy Josey.
He turns to me,
“I love my new nickname by the way.” He says and winks at me before walking out. Josey runs in with four girls, one being Margot. I guess they the others were also omegas.
“Okay, you go take a shower while we set up. I’m going to make you look so beautiful.” Josey says, excitement clear in her eyes. She hands me a toiletry bag filled with girly things that smell too girly.
I smile back at her before walking in to the bathroom. I had missed Josey’s girly nature.
I showered, shaved, washed my hair and dried myself. I walk out naked and the ladies gasp except for Josey.
“Oh she gets to show off! That is one killer bod post partum girl!” Josey says and we all cackle after her.
They spend hours putting me in dresses to try on and then make up. One does my hair and finally they were done. It has been a while since I was all dolled up but I felt like my old self again. Cj walks in with Adrastos who is wearing a baby tuxedo and he looked so adorable.
I took my baby in my arms and smiled. He was also getting initiated today. It was a big day for us.
Everyone left me except for Cj and Josey as we all looked down on my little angel.
“He looks like Max. You can’t deny it.” Josey says and we all chuckle.
“He does, doesn’t he?” I ask and they both nod.
“I’m just glad he’s come to his senses about being a father. Now Adrastos can grow up knowing he is loved by everyone, more especially his father.” I say.
“Well even if Max didn’t show up as a dad, I think Xander has it covered. I was shocked to see him enter the apartment and head straight to the nursery. He spent a good hour in there, your boy was dressed by Xander by the way.” Cj says to me and I smile.
Consistency is everything to me and Xander was just that.
“He’s been spending his afternoons with him. Every day he comes to my apartment and goes straight for Adrastos. It’s amazing.” I say and Josey smiles.
“Well, after two darn frogs, it’s about time you got somebody that’s screwed right. Now, we are going to go. I believe dad is waiting to come in and share some words. See you out there!” Josey says before kissing my cheek. Cj does the same and they walk out.
Father walks in, and he pulls me in for a hug. He gestures for us to sit so we sit on the chairs in Xander’s room.
“Sabrina, I’m so sorry. I should’ve known you were suffering. The signs were there but I didn’t see them. I’m your father and I want you to know that whatever I’m going through, comes second to me being a parent to you. You can come to me anytime. I need you to know this.” He says but I stop him there by holding his hand and pleading with him with my eyes.
“I know all of that. I decided to hide what was really happening because I didn’t want to believe it myself. I thought maybe it was just a phase and Max will come back and all will be well.” I say and my dad shakes his head no.
“Sabrina, you’ve had consistent men in your life. Me, your grandfather and Cj who have never treated you that way. You should never accept such treatment from a man ever! I believe I set the perfect example for you growing up and you need to take that with you. No man should ever make you feel unworthy. If he doesn’t want you, he must bring you back home to the people that truly love you. Understood?” He says to me and I have to try hard to blink away the tears.
I nod my head yes as I couldn’t find the words.
“Good. I had a lengthy talk with Xander and I told him this time I’ll kill someone if my baby girl is hurt. Now, I believe I have to walk you both to your ceremony.” Father says taking Adrastos from me.
I stand up and follow him out. As we’re walking down the stairs, what my father said repeats itself over and over in my head. He was right, I didn’t have to stay and tolerate Max’s bad behavior. I had men who knew how to be men in my life and they set the bar so high.
I allowed Max to treat me that way and never again. This time, I won’t let a man treat me like rubbish and get away with it.
‘Well if I do treat you like rubbish, I think you should beat my ass to obedience.’ Xander says mind linking me after reading my thoughts.
‘Didn’t peg you for the BDSM type but I’ll be your Dom if you’ll be my sub.’ I say. My smile never faltering as I feel X get a little embarrassed.
‘Don’t joke like that baby. I’m the alpha in every way. I will be the one doing the spanking.’ He says to me and I chuckle.
