I'm Not Yours, Alpha
I’m Not Yours, Alpha – Chapter 29

Dominic stopped by Aidan’s bedside and took his hand gently, hesitating whether it was right to touch him. One of his fingers brushed the wound on his lips and he couldn’t help but tremble. Her eyes filled with tears and she could only cover her face to try to wipe them away but it was no use. Her chest was so tight that she could barely say anything. If he could reverse the roles he would be much calmer.

Julian watched as his alpha’s friend stood beside the bed where his omega rested. The way he looked at him, the way he ached for him, the atmosphere between the two of them. Despite the situation he felt envious. If it was him in that bed, would Madox be by his side? Most likely not. He was one more of the omegas or betas that he rolled around with, in his specific case it was a need of his body, because if he wasn’t he had no excuse to see him.

He smiled sadly and closed the door leaving the couple. Madox was waiting outside to take him home so he walked over.

-Yes precious, I’m sorry but I’ll be a bit busy, I promise I’ll meet you soon and you won’t regret it,” she heard him talking on the phone and slowed her pace, she didn’t want to hear him talking to someone else, but he was no one to complain, and the idea only made her more depressed. It would be easier if he met another alpha who valued him more but with Madox’s pheromones all over his house and on himself it was a bit tricky for anyone to approach him. It was strange that even though it was a passing thing he was so dominant. He wondered if he was like that with others.

Only when she heard him hang up did she finish approaching him, but at that point she had lost all desire to even talk to him.

-The alpha smiled at him leaning forward to k**s his forehead but Julian just turned his face away making the k**s linger in the air, “You must be tired,” he hadn’t even considered his reaction.

Julian nodded his head and got into the car before she closed the door and got in the other side.

-Do you want to go to my place or shall I take you to yours,” he seemed very normal, the events around him no more disturbing to him than a needle wound.

-Take me back, I want to sleep,” the omega had his face to the window, if he looked at it he might start crying.

-Something’s wrong little bird,” Madox asked, stroking his thigh, noticing the boy’s withdrawal, but he just shook his head.

The alpha stopped before reaching the house in a shop and when he returned he had a bag full of things that he left on the back seat. Julian paid no attention to it. His eyes were closed but he wasn’t sleeping. Once in front of his building Madox called out to him, kissing his shoulder.

-My puppy, we’re here,” he said.

Julian straightened in the seat so that his chin was cupped and turned. Lips fell upon his possessively and an arm crossed behind his waist drawing him to the alpha. Madox’s tongue invaded his mouth possessively claiming him without giving him time this time to refuse. He’d done it before and he wouldn’t allow it again. Not from him.

-I knew it was a better idea to take you to my flat,” Madox commented against his lips as one of his hands roamed up and down the omega’s thighs, wanting to tear at the clothing covering him.

Aidan’s fingers stopped his advance and he pulled away as best he could.

-I’m kind of tired,” he looked for an excuse, even though he knew he owed him a certain favour, after seeing that couple he wasn’t in the mood for s*x, especially not with that alpha.

Madox slumped back against his seat, smoothing the first buttons of his shirt and letting out a gasp.

-Whatever you want puppy, I hear you,” he smiled at him, “We’ll keep in touch and take that with you,” he pointed to the bag on the seat behind him.

Julian smiled at him before he got out of the car and grabbed what he had bought him and waved goodbye. He walked up to his flat and closed the door to his flat behind him, moving across the wood until he was sitting on the floor. He must have a special ability to make himself more depressed if possible. Even though he was always smiling, making a summary of his life, he realised that it sucked.

She worked in a small agency as a professional stylist earning what she needed. She was young and had no partner. She had problems with her horniness and the alpha she was sleeping with used a condom every time she had s*x, so firstly she wouldn’t have any children from him and secondly he wouldn’t even cross her mind to mark him. So her nature was being overshadowed. How long would she go on with that lifestyle. It was only slowly destroying itself.

His fingers touched one of the items in the bag and he opened his eyes looking down and had to hide his head between his knees. Strawberry ice cream in various formats, non-carbonated drinks, fruit chocolates, energy drinks and more. That’s why he couldn’t change. That same alpha that was destroying him at least had the finesse to always buy him his favourite flavours.

Aidan opened his eyes three days after being operated on. It took him a long time to do so and to adapt to the light that almost blinded him. His body felt numb and his chest ached a little.

-Are you awake,” a familiar voice made him turn his eyes towards the window.

Leo, his alpha’s secretary was there, that meant only one thing. He looked up shaking his head and on the side of the bed, with his head in his arms on the sheet was Dominic sound asleep. His hair was disheveled and without its characteristic shine. His face looked very tired and he had dark circles under his eyes and a hint of a beard. Nothing like the image he projected as a superior alpha.

-Please don’t wake him up,” Leo asked, moving to his side and covering his boss’s shoulders with a blanket. “He’s been awake since you went into the hospital three days ago, and he’s taken over the rest of the project. He’s really tired.

Aidan nodded, maybe it was for the best, he needed to get his head together to deal with it. He was still confused, the last thing he remembered was after the attack by his mother and Hans, being picked up by that kind omega, Madox, a pain in his chest and nothing else.

-He had a heart attack,” Leo began to say as he realised the confusion in him, “He was in surgery and needs a lot of care now. His condition is very delicate.

Aidan put his hand to his chest and felt the area where the discomfort was. So he had reached a limit. He imagined it. He’d been under a lot of pressure but it was time he stopped running and faced everything once and for all if he wanted to be happy. He touched Dominic’s head gently, tangling his fingers in his blond hair.

-When he wakes up, we’ll talk,” he said.
