Alpha’s Badass Mate novel

---- Alex's breath caught. "Yeah?" "Yeah," Ashly replied with a roll of her eyes. " Honestly, I have to do everything myself." "Ashly baby," Alex said, catching Ashly's fingers with her own and tugging them to her lips. "Don't you dare," Ashly warned sternly. Alex chuckled. He kissed each of Ashly's knuckles and murmured , "Do you know how much I love you? It's really hard for me to live without your past years." Ashly's expression melted, and she bent to kiss the end of Alex's nose.

Alex tipped his chin up for a proper kiss, sideways though it was. Ashly stroked his hair and said, "I know. When I was at school, there was an Alpha who loved me more than anything, but the idiot Alpha is mine became so stupid when it came tome." "And because he desperately wanted to protect you, because he wanted you to fulfill your dream and make your late father proud," Alex corrected. He hadn't even known that Ashly was such a great Omega fighter back then.

She'd been surprisingly good at fighting. When Alex saw her kicking Type and Earth all alone and with a proud smile on her face, he felt like she was the only one and no one like Ashly. Even during the final show, Ashly shows everyone how talented she is. They are all really shocked when ---- they hear Ashly's beautiful voice; they really can't believe it, and he shudders to imagine how much his mate is talented , but he never shows off others.

He must have spent on them throughout his youth, but Alex had never cared. That wasn't why he liked Ashly; she never showed off her talent. If Pink and Earth didn't mess with her and Allen, no one would know how good fighters they are. Alex thinks it's because Ashly's late father really taught them good values. " Because you saved him once, and he didn't know how else to repay you.

You forgive him even though he hurt you more than anyone; you are in pain, but you still accept him and even love him." "I thought I had everything I needed before you," Ashly said softly. Her face was gentle in the way it only ever got for Alex or Adom. There was vulnerability in her eyes. "I didn't realize how much I had been lacking in love all these years until you gave me yours. I never thought you would make me fall for you again." Alex's chest was tight with fondness.

He desperately wanted another kiss, but he didn't want to move too much for fear of disturbing his son, who was sleeping adorably. Fortunately , Ashly leaned down and kissed him without being asked. "There's no need for debts between us," she said. " We've both already saved each other." Alex nodded , feeling his eyes start to burn with the ---- threat of tears. Ashly's mint-and-pine smell was strong with affection, and her fingers massaged tingling trails into Alex's scalp.

She was purring softly , smiling down at Alex so lovingly that he was certainly about to cry. Perhaps to distract him, or maybe just because it was the next thing he thought of, Ashly said, "I want you to be CEO of A'A Group before we have another baby, though." "Alright, baby," Alex agreed. If his voice was slightly strained with the effort of holding back a sob, Ashly kindly didn't mention it.

"Then I'll do everything in my power to help you get there." Ashly pinched his mate's cheek, pulling Alex's beautiful face into an exaggerated grimace. "I don't want to hold you back. You should do what you want." "What I want," Alex said, turning to nuzzle into his mate's small palm, "is to be beside you, helping you in any way I can." Ashly's fingers stroked his ear and the corner of his jaw. "I don't deserve you," she murmured. "you do," Alex argued.

"You deserve so much more than I could ever give you, baby. You have no idea how precious you are!" "Sap," Ashly accused , but it was still soft and fond, with a smile that made Alex's heart ache with love. ---- She pulled their interlocked hands to her lips again, kissing her partner's fingers one by one, unable to find words for the wave of feelings that overtook him. Ashly went back to stroking his hair and seemed content to remain like that.

Adom shifted, nuzzling against Alex's chest for a moment before he mumbled, "Dad, I'm hungry." "Breakfast , then," Alex decided , giving the back of Ashly's hand a kiss before he let go. She sat up, taking Adom with her, intending to deposit her in Ashly's lap and go cook. But Ashly caught him before he could stand up, reeling Alex in by the back of his neck and giving him a long, slow kiss.

"Move the rest of your things in; for now on, I want to live with me and make tasty dishes ," she said when she'd pulled away. Alex Heart skipped a beat. "You're s ure?" "Don't you even think about leaving us again, Alex?" Ashly said. "T wouldn't dream of it," Alex murmured . He gave Ashly another kiss and then set Adom in her arms, going to make breakfast for his family in their kitchen.
