Alpha’s Badass Mate novel

---- Allen and Sebestian Before the final show: Allen is not home. Well, Allen is not in their home. She's back in her family house across the city, tucked into her childhood bed, and sleeping the night away. Sebestian knows this because they'd already exchanged goodnight messages hours earlier. Sebestian thinks back over the day and frowns again at the ache in his chest. He can't put his finger on it exactly, but Allen has been acting strange all day.

Starting with breaking their eye contact at every turn and ending with no silly stickers or emojis in their messages. Sebestian burrows further into his blanket and tries to leave it all for tomorrow, but his brain, ever the overachiever , refuses to shut off. He sighs and turns over, finally giving up on any hopes of sleep. He picks up his phone and logs on to Twitter. His school page always manages to cheer him up, and if anything, school cute rants give him something else to focus on.

He's scrolling through his school tags and checking Allen's profile as well. As always, his schoolmates are posting cute edits about stupid things like cats and dogs, sometimes related to some fight between Alphas, and of course, his Omega, who kicks some bitches ass. It makes Sebestian smile, grinning as he ---- watches a few. Well, it's few because Ashly and Allen are the only Omegas who manage to kick Alpha asses.

Seeing Allen's bright, heart-shaped smile only furthers his suspicions that Allen has been upset about something recently. Usually Sebestian doesn't have to put much pressure on Allen to tell him, but all day today Allen has been stubborn in dealing with things on her own. Sebastian sighs as he turns back to Twitter, feeling worse instead of better than he'd hoped. His eyes grow large when he starts seeing a few different posts about two famous omegas.

Of course, none other than Allen and Ashly have fans in school who basically stalk them during school time. There are snippets of Allen's face as her smile grows tight, her hands gathering in her lap like she's unsure. Sebestian watches it a few times to try and figure out what caused Allen's change in demeanor until he sees it. Ashly is talking to her phone and looking upset, and Allen is struggling with a product she can't seem to open.

On the other hand, Sebestian's eyes glide over to Allen before helping her with it, forgetting to reply to his friends altogether. His friends make an offhand joke about how dependent Allen is on Sebestian, and they all laugh. Allen is about to take the product back when his friend speaks up again and tells Sebestian how he should let Allen handle things on her own; ---- she's a grown person after all. That's when Allen. smiles more.

Sebestian closes the video and wonders if that's it and why Allen has been acting so weird since then. It had been a joke, but maybe Allen felt offended by it, like her pride had been attacked. Because no matter how much Allen really does enjoy getting pampered by Sebestian, it isn't like she can't do things on her own. It's just that she chooses to let Sebestian help her and to adore her since he knows it makes Allen feel useful.

Because he knows it means Allen is thinking of him, even before herself. It's how Sebestian shows a part of his love, and Allen has noticed that. But she's still an adult, and that in itself comes with certain connotations . Rich always compliments her for being one of the most independent omegas , and Sebestian feels proud of his Allen. He knows his Allen has something else going on in her life, and that's why she is behaving that way. He even sees Alex's sad face when Ashly ignores him.

Uh, at least Allen is not ignoring him fully. Sebastian wonders if what his friends said really upset Allen. Meanwhile , he hadn't even been aware. Suddenly he hates the thought that Allen has been suffering with this all alone, unable to tell Sebestian about it. He jumps out of bed and grabs his car keys before he's out the door. Tomorrow is his only morning off, and he's not going
