Author's POV

Days went by as the couple were getting on well with each other. Vegas takes out his time to meet Pete as much as possible as the doctor suggested that pregnant omegas shouldn't stay away from their alphas. They wanted the marriage to happen as soon as possible so they could stay as close as possible. Vegas definitely loves the idea though poor alpha have to suffer from morning sickness every day. He also gives Pete his scented clothes which the omega uses to snuggle at night to fall asleep. Things are going smoothly for the couple.

But not for the old men who are craving for more and more power.

Today Gun has invited Vegas to his office in order to discuss some business. Vegas hates the idea. He wants to stay as far away as possible from his 'amazing' father.

"Pa-"

Vegas was immediately greeted with a stinging slap.

"You are a useless piece of shit!" Gun trembled in anger. He held Vegas' color who was looking at him with cold eyes.

"I want this fixed immediately or else I will kill that omega of yours," Gun warned.

"Pa! Don't try to drag Pete in this!"

"Oh... So now you dare to oppose your father for that whore!?" Another slap landed perfectly on the younger alpha's cheek.

"You've been distracted more than enough by him, now I'll do something about it," Vegas started to panic.

"Pa, Don't touch Pete!"

"Are you going against me for that brat?!" Gun greeted his teeth.

"All the investors backed away! Fucking hell!" The older alpha released Vegas' color and started rummaging everything in the room.

"I am sure Saengtham are involved in this," Gun said. Vegas looked at his father in confusion.

"Why would they do that Pa. Aren't you the one who was planning to take their asset?"

"And my plans are backfiring me! Those bastards,"

"What do you think they did Pa?" Vegas asked out of curiosity.

"One of the narcotics investors said he can't trust us anymore so he withdrew everything and moved to those brats!"

"Listen Vegas, if they try to destroy our business, we'll use Pete to put them on line! Keep that stupid omega busy for now and he'll be useful some day," Vegas widened his eyes at his father's command.

"But-"

"Do as I say little boy or I'll be ready to drag Macau into this! Also, I'll make sure your spineless mother will suffer,"  Vegas shuddered under his father's gaze after which Gun left the room.

Vegas sighed as he collapsed on the near by chair. He held his hair and started pulling it out of frustration. His father never hesitates to target his Achilles heel. Pete has become his another weakness. He doesn't know what he'll do without that young omega, one who always comforted him when his father lashed out at him.

No.

He can't let anything happen to Pete and his pup. He has to protect them from his father's evil intensions. No matter what. He'll protect everyone. Suddenly his phone rang, pulling him out of his reverie.

"Hello?"

"Hey," said the alpha, tired. Hearing his Omega's voice made him feel better though.

"Are you okay? You sound... Bit off," his omega, who can sense everything. Vegas closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. Pete was the best thing that happened to him. He can't imagine his life without him. Not just him, but Macau and Siena has already grown fond of him. They really love him.

"I am fine, really," said the alpha.

"You don't sound like it... Is it because of your Pa?"

"No, it's nothing to worry about really,"

"Stop lying! I hate lairs..." Pete took a deep breath. "Vegas, can you pick me up from the university? Please...  my car is punctured and I called for my bodyguards but they aren't picking my phone-"

"I am on my way,"

Pete was waiting in the parking lot. He repeatedly kicked the car tire which was deflated.

"Need help?" A junior from engineering major offered Pete his help. He was definitely an alpha. His scent of a strong espresso. Pete hated that smell. Actually, he hated every alpha's scent when since he found out he was pregnant.

"No thanks not nong, I am fine," Pete smiled awkwardly.

"Yeng,"

"Huh?"

"My name is Yeng, Pete?" He pointed his index finger to Pete.

"How... How do you know my name?"

"Oh... You are part of student union, I also applied for it!" The young alpha said excitedly.

"Well, we are taking interviews for it so I hope you are ready," the omega reminded.

"But Pete, I want your help with this," Pete rolled his eyes.

"I am sorry, I can't help you with that. You have to prepare everything by yourself plus you guys already have an criteria for the eligibility," the alpha came closer to Pete and released strong pheromones making the omega a little dizzy.

"Back off!" Pete raised his hand to stop the alpha.

"Pete, you are so beautiful... I wanted to fuck you at first sight. Give me a chance," Pete was so confused with the confession but soon was fuming with rage. He showed his left hand to the Alpha.

"I already have a fiance nong so stay away," suddenly a protective hand was wrapped around the Omega's waist.

"What's going on little one," Vegas immediately kissed Pete's temple and glared at the alpha in front of him.

The younger alpha coughed and gulped his own saliva due to the dominance of the older alpha in front of him.

"Phi Pete... I'll leave now," as he was about to leave, he was interrupted by the omega.

"Wait, you said you wanted to fuck me at first sight right? Do you still want that?" Pete smirked. Vegas further squeezed his waist in a possessive hold causing the omega to wince in pain. The older alpha's Pheromone was rigging with anger.

"Stay away from my omega!" the alpha growled.

"I am sorry... sir," the younger one apologised, body trembling in fear and quickly ran away, leaving the couple alone in the parking lot.

"Vegas..." The alpha realised his tight hold the Omega's waist and quickly pulled away.

"Pete, I am so sorry. Are you okay? I squeezed it too hard, I am... Sorry. Does it hurt somewhere? Should we go to the doctor? I-" the omega placed his index finger on the Alpha's lips.

"Shh... Vegas! Stop bombarding me with those questions! I am fine and I don't feel any pain, stop with your over wordiness and you don't need to behave like that to every alpha you see near me. I can handle my own situation!" Pete said annoyed.

"I.. am sorry. I was just worried that my tight hold could have affected the... Baby. I am still new to all these so I don't know how to react, besides you know possessiveness is every alpha's trait," the alpha looked down on regret.

Pete sighed and pecked the alpha's cheek catching the alpha off guard.

"It's okay, now don't make that face," Pete grimaced.

"Thank you for forgiving me," Vegas hugged the Omega's waist, gently this time and kissed his cheeks.

"Park, how are things going?" Asked Pong as he took a sip of his wine.

"Everything is going according to the plan Pa, but this may put Pete in danger," Park asked doubtfully.

"About that, don't worry about that. I can't even guarantee if this marriage will happen or not. Gun won't sit back and see his destruction like this, some things are just bound to happen," the old alpha smirked as he looked at his son.

"But Pa, What if he comes back for Pete," asked Park.

"Don't worry about that son. We'll be the most powerful after this plan. Even if he comes back, we'll definitely tackle him and finish everything that couldn't be done before,"

"You are right Pa," Park replied, his face still showing doubt.
