Alpha’s Badass Mate novel

---- to be able to see Allen for another week because of his practice , so there's no way he'll manage an hour of sleep without clearing this up. He drives to Allen's house at the traffic light in the dead of night. It still takes him a while to get there, and the street is silent as he shuts his car off. It's peaceful even though he's close to the city; the road ahead is lit by small street lamps.

Sebastian picks up his phone and calls Allen, nervous now that he's standing outside his car in just a sweater and his Ryan pajama pants. He has the thought that Allen might not wake up because he is too deep in sleep. The phone continues to ring as Sebestian waits. He stuffs his one free hand into his sweater pocket and almost gives up. Allen is sleeping; she's got a practice tomorrow, Sebestian remembers. He should let her sleep.

"Hello?" Sebestian looks down at his phone and sees that his call is connected. "Hello?" Allen repeats, his voice muffled and sleepy. Sebestian almost breaks out into a laugh at the sound of it alone. "Hey baby," he replies, trying to sound hushed even though no one is out this late at night. "It's late, Seb; is something wrong? Allen grumbles , and Sebestian can tell she's trying not to sound annoyed but failing.

Sebestian chuckles , deep and rich, as he shuffles on his feet." I'm outside your house; do you think maybe we could talk?" He hears Allen's sheets rustle as the omega sits up in bed. "You're what?" Allen asks. She sounds as ---- panicked as one can while still whispering. "I'm outside your house," Sebestian repeats for good measure. He hears Allen jump out of bed before a series of thuds and a squeak. "Be careful! Sebestian laughs, his hand coming up to cover his mouth.

"I'll be right there; wait for me," Allen says, sounding a little breathless. "Of course , always." Sebestian hangs up and leans back against his car. It's acold night, and it makes Sebestian shiver a bit. He curls his toes in his socks, too thin for the open sandal he slipped on in his haste. He hears the scuffle of feet on gravel and looks up to find Allen running past his house gates towards him. It's easy; just open his arms as Allen slips into them.

They both sigh at once, tightening their grip around one another. Sebestian tucks his head into Allen's neck and closes his eyes, listening to the soft beating of Allen's heart." I've missed you," he says, his lips a gentle wave over Allen's collarbone. "We just saw each other a little while ago," Allen giggles, pulling back and staring at Sebestian. Her eyes drop then, her hands drawing away from Sebestian's back as she tries to get out of the embrace. "Hey, where are you going?

Sebestian whispers with concern, pulling Allen back in. "You've been doing this a lot. Sebestian reaches up and lifts Allen's chin until their eyes meet. Allen puffs out her cheeks and looks to the side in ---- sheer stubborn fashion. Sebastian almost scoffs, disbelief written all over his smile. "Is this about what my friend said? About me taking care of you too much? Do you not like it? Because I can stop, especially during school time, if it makes you uncomfortable .

I-" Allen's hands come up to cover Sebestian's mouth before he can finish. And for the first time in what feels like forever, Allen looks Sebestian in the eyes. She gazes at Sebestian with her brows furrowed and her lips pulled together , almost ina pout. It's steely and determined , so much so that Sebestian resigns and relaxes back against his car. He closes his eyes and gives Allen a small nod. "That's not why," Allen says, his hands leaving Sebestian lips to cradle her face instead.

"I just-" Allen starts and then stops, looking torn as she turns away from Sebestian. It makes the other man deepen their hug until Allen can rest her head on Sebestian's shoulder. "I just hated how your friends made it seem. like you were doing something wrong. I love when you take care of me. I love how thoughtful you always are.

Then I went on our school page and found so many people agreeing and saying that you force this image onto me of someone who is lost without you, and I hated that even more. I hate when people talk badly about you and us and twist things into something that they're not. So, I was trying to be more independent and stronger so you wouldn't have to do everything for me. Allen mumbles, his hand tightening in his ---- Sebestian sweater.

"Wow," Sebestian sighs out, taken aback at all the stuff Allen was going through. "There is something more, but I can't tell you." "What is it? "Seb please" "Ok, baby, take your time," Sebestian said, and he kissed Allen's forehead. "I know. I got into my head about it," Allen says then, looking up at Sebestian from her perch on the older shoulder. "And to think I was coming over here to apologize and beg you to forgive me," Sebestian laughs, kissing Allen's temple again.

Baby, you know you shouldn't listen to all that, right? As long as you like it, I will continue to do it. I love treating you how you deserve, like a princess." Sebestian laughs louder as Allen frowns and jabs him. "You know what, begging doesn't sound too bad. In fact, Iam deeply mad at you, sir," Allen says, stepping away from Sebestian to huff. She crosses her arms over her chest and pretends to be very mad.

Oh, no, don't be mad at me; I'm sorry." Sebestian hunches down and pouts, following Allen's line of sight as the other man keeps turning away. "Won't you forgive me? You're my queen, not a princess, okay? Sebestian rubs his head on Allen's neck and
