Author's POV

Both Vegas and Pete arrived at a fancy restaurant. As soon as they got off the motorbike, Pete pulled Vegas' hand.

"Hey, where are are we going. Slow down, it's not safe to run," Pete glared at the alpha.

"Just follow me!"

"But the restaurant is here,"

"Tsk! Just do as I say!"

"But-"

"Here it is,"

In front of them was a small food stall, emitting an appetising the aroma of the delicious curry they were serving.

"That!" The omega pointed his finger at the food stall.

"I want to eat here," he requested.

"From here? But we can get much better food from the restaurant. It's healthy and hygienic." Vegas held Pete's hand and was about to lead him to the restaurant but the omega pulled away and walked towards the ladies who were selling the food.

"Sawadee Krab aunty, can I get two bowl of Tom Klong Pla Grab please?" Pete greeted the ladies and ordered the menu. The ladies were awed by the cute omega in front of them and gave him the warmest smile.

"Oh my god nong, you are so beautiful!" There was a slight blush on the Omega's cheek.

"Anything else?" The lady asked.

"Mmm... A strawberry milkshake too!"

"Well then, you can take your seat it'll be done in ten minutes,"

"Thank you," a cute smile was displayed on the Omega's face again making the people around him 'aww' in amazement.

Vegas couldn't believe the omega who was bowling his eyes out just a hour or so was smiling widely. He approached the omega who was now settled on a table of two. The table was really small and there were still stains of food on it. Vegas grimaced in disgust.

"Pete! This place is disgusting, let's go eat in the restaurant. Look at the hygiene here, you'll be sick," the voice was firm and loud enough for the ladies working in the stall to hear, causing their smile to fade away in disappointment. Pete noticed how uncomfortable the ladies were because of his mate's word and pulled Vegas to sit next to him.

"Vegas! What are you saying?"

"I said what is true, look at this place how can you eat here," Vegas was a bit germophobic and this place made him almost puke.

"Oh please Vegas, just because you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth doesn't mean you have right to insult their hard work like that, besides Street food is way better than all that gourmet food of yours that would empty your pocket in one little grain of rice decorated with some sauce and leaves!" Pete was really getting mad now, all credit goes to his pregnancy hormones.

"You are behaving as if you are not rich like me, besides it's not like we can't afford food from the restaurant," the alpha was firm with his request

"But I like street food way better! It's affordable and delicious just like any other place, and about the tables being dirty, it's not like they can afford some fancy marble table that can be cleaned off easily. And we just need a place to sit and eat it's not as if you have to lick it or something, now please stop irritating me you stupid alpha or else I will kick you out of here directly to that fancy ass restaurant of yours!" The warning has been said, which means the alpha has no choice but to comply with his omega who is true to his words.

Meanwhile, everyone there could witness the cute bickering between the couple and smiled in admiration.

"Why you ordered two?" The alpha sighed, tired of their constant bickering.

"Oh, you won't eat? I thought you would so I ordered two, no worries I'll eat it. Nothing can go for waste after all," Pete smiled widely and displayed those dimples that caused the alpha to skip a heart beat.

"No! I told you this food is not healthy for you, one bowl is enough I'll eat mine,"

"Okay, finish yours then," Pete Smirked and started drinking his soup. It was delicious!

"Wow Phi it's delicious!" Pete praised the two ladies as they were sitting near the stall.

"I am glad you liked it nong!" The ladies seemed so happy at the compliment.

On the other hand, Vegas couldn't tolerate the spiciness of the soup and started searching for water.

"Ss... Pete... How... How you even eating this, where is water... I want some water," the alpha was red and desperately looking for water like a stranded man in desert. His eyes almost held the tears. Pete was surely enjoying the scene and couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Here, have this," the omega gave his strawberry milkshake to the alpha, which the alpha poured in his mouth to extinguish the fire on his tongue.

"Hahaha... Your face, it looks really funny," Pete's stomach was aching from laughter as he held it with both hands.

"It's not funny Pete! And you," the alpha dragged the bowl of soup form Pete's side," stop eating this, it's not healthy for you!"

"Hey! Let me atleast finish mine! I am starving!" Pete pouted.

"No! You can't eat this, let's eat something else,"

"I won't eat anything but this!" The omega crossed his arms on front of his chest. Then he suddenly felt like crying from hunger.

"Will you let a pregnant person starve like this? Don't you have any humanity left Khun Vegas?" Pete came closer to the alpha's face, displaying his best puppy eyes.

"Don't... Don't take advantage of your condition Pete..." Vegas' heart was fluttering.

"Why? Shouldn't you spoil me in this condition? Or you don't like this pregnancy at all?!" There was a moment of silence between the two as Pete realised what he had just said.

"I... I am sorry," Pete muttered, lowering his face. He saw a bowl of food sliding towards him.

"Eat." Was the only thing the alpha said before he turned his face to look at any direction.

"Thank you," Pete smiled widely and continued with his food.

They finished eating after a few minutes and paid the bills.

"I'll drop you off at your house," The alpha finally spoke after a long moment of silence as they walked together to the parking lot.

"Hmm," was the only response of the omega as he felt really tired.

"You need to rest well,"

"But--"

*THUD*

"Pete!?" The omega fell forward as Vegas caught him in his arms.

When he turned around, few thugs were holding baseball bats and guns. Suddenly the alpha felt a sharp pain in his head as he was attacked by one of the thug who hit him on the head. They pulled the unconscious omega from his arms as he desperately tries to hold his mate near him.

"Don't touch him!" The alpha growled. Another hit was landed on his head as he was distracted by unconscious Pete.

"Pe..te," there he fell on the ground as watched his mate being taken away by the thugs.

---End Of Chapter 27---

Hey Guys!

So... I thought I would start with the hectic scenes on this chapter but I couldn't and ended up writing some more 'our cutie omega being moody' scene before I get to some real shit.

Next chapter will be a roller coaster of emotions so prepare some tissues and snacks.

Also please excuse any typos, misspellings and grammatical errors since I haven't proofread anything.

Thanks for reading!
