Alpha’s Badass Mate novel

---- Flashback Continue The next time someone reacts so strongly to Monika'mate' is Monika's overprotective uncle. It's one of the weekends of their summer break, and Sam is staying the night. It's not the first time he's met Monika's uncle, and it's definitely not the first time he's been to Monika's house either, but it's the first time he stays over. It's actually the first time ever that they're spending the night together , and Monika's uncle just happens to be home for the weekend.

He's in the USA most of the time; why would he just fly back to her home country for a weekend, unannounced? Sam thinks that it's probably purposeful , but he just greets him respectfully. Meanwhile, Monika stares at her uncle balefully before she says something to him and then tugs Sam up to her room. Monika Uncle is not ice cold with Sam anymore, but he's not exactly warm and friendly either.

Sam is the boy who dares to steal his precious Monika heart, and he's pretty sure he'll get castrated if he breaks Monika's heart. Not that he ever will. So Sam tries not to be left alone with him. When morning comes, however, that's a different story because when he goes down to get some water, he's ---- dragged into eating one of the tensest breakfasts of his life with Monika uncle. Sam wakes up that morning from thirst .

Monika's face was tucked in the crook of his neck, and her naked skin was pressed against Sam. He's always thought that there's an unbridgeable gap between. them, and yet here they are, so close that Monika's skin is his skin. Monika breathes. Sam's heart swells with indescribable happiness, and he plants a long, sweet kiss on Monika temple before reluctantly and quietly getting out of bed.

He gives Monika another kiss before he goes down to get some water and maybe something for the both of them to eat. And... Monika's uncle is eating breakfast. It's nearly 10:30; it's already way past breakfast. Belatedly, he thanks the stars that he pulled on a shirt before leaving the room.

Although it's probably a Monika sleep shirt considering the fact that it's a bit tight around the shoulder , He's too nervous to look down and confirm his suspicion , not when Monika uncle drills holes into his being with his eyes. Monika definitely learned how to glare from her uncle.

"Come," he finally puts down his tablet after a long while and gestures at one of the empty seats, "have breakfast with me; I'm sure you're starving." ---- Sam feels his cheeks going up in flames, and he says awkwardly, ''I should go wake Monika up." "Let Monika sleep; she must be exhausted ," he continues with a straight face. Sam can see where Monika gets her demanding and teasing nature from. He just stares for a moment; he's pretty sure his face is blood red now.

Then he clears his throat and takes a seat, waiting to be served breakfast. It's such a surreal experience. He serves himself breakfast if he wants to eat breakfast. However, in Monika's house, all he does to eat anything is say that he wants to eat, do the eating, and occasionally pour himself and Monika water. It's easy to forget that Monika is a little baby for her family when Sam takes the train with her every day and walks around town with her like every normal human being.

He still remembers how Monika pulled up in front of his house in an expensive car. Breakfast is just as tense. Monika's uncle doesn't say much, and Sam is too shy and conscious to look at him. And he eats awkwardly as well, not wanting to lean down too much at the risk of the shirt collar dipping and exposing all the scratches and bite marks Monika put on his chest.

He's thankfully safe when he hears a door shut from ---- the upper floor of the penthouse and the sound of Monika coming down the stairs. "Good morning," Monika mumbles sleepily, rubbing her eyes and pouting prettily. She's also wearing a Sam shirt from last night. Sam pushes out a chair for her, and Monika opens her mouth to say thank you but is cut off by a yawn. Sam snorts fondly. "What's for breakfast?" She asks, peering into Sam's bowl. He's not sure what it is-something Asian breakbeat.

So, instead of answering , Sam just scoops up some soup and blows on it before feeding Monika. Then he scoops up some rice and lotus roots for Monika too.

They share food and tea, their legs tangled under the table, until Monika uncle reproaches from the head of the table, ''Wait for your own food, Monika." Monika pouts, but Sam grins fondly and says, "It's alright, I don't really mind." She turns to look triumphantly at her uncle and says, "He said it's fine, so it's fine." Monika uncle just rolls his eyes with fond exasperation and picks up his tea to wash down his breakfast. Win goes on, "Sam is very good to me." Then she turns to pinch Sam's cheek and announces,
