Alpha’s Hybrid Cinderella
Chapter 125

Peelle

I feel bad for Mateo whenever Alita wakes up. They knocked her out and we went on our way back onto our private plane to head home. She'll wake up at some point during this flight and when she does, I guarantee it's not going to be pretty. Mom sits near her and plays with her hair and will randomly make remarks about how happy she is that we finally found her.

I ask Mateo, "Do you know how far along she is?"

He shakes his head, "She didn't talk to me much. We were more like acquaintances. If I had to guess I would say four months... maybe five."

Mom says, "Her baby is going to be so close to the girl's age."

I nod in acknowledgement and Mateo says, "You have kids?"

"Twins, my brother and I have the same mate and we had our girls, Hope and Faith, five months ago."

"That's amazing. I wonder if Alita is pregnant with one or two."

"How do you feel about her pregnancy?" I ask as I try to feel him out. He knows she's pregnant, will he be there for her even though she is carrying some other man's baby?

He shakes his head as he looks at her, "I don't care. I just want her happy and healthy. Do I want to raise some man's kid especially considering that he kidnapped and lied to my mate? No... not really. But I'm not going to force her to give the child up or anything. It's a part of her and if she wants to keep it then that's her choice."

My mom makes a face of approval, but I can't help but think this guy is too good to be true. Maybe he just is that great, I mean he's doing the same things I would've done if it were Eda... I just wish we knew for sure that he was Alita's mate. I wish she could confirm

it.

As I think about her, I notice her staring and suddenly all eyes are on her in case she wakes up. There's not much that she'll be able to do when she gets up, but I don't want her angry. I want her to remember us.

I glance at the time, we're only a few hours away from home. Her head lifts up and for some reason her eyes lock on with mine and she frowns. She asks, "Who are you? You look... familiar. Are you one of Aamon's friends?" She breathes out and before I get a chance to respond she shakes her head and says, "Look, I'm sure you're one of the ones who think I have a 'hot body' or whatever, but if Aamon finds out that you did anything to me, I swear, you'll regret even looking my way." Mateo says, "Aurora!"

She snaps her head at him and says his name in a questioning tone, "Mateo?"

Her head moves around as she realizes where we are before her eyes land on Mateo. She shakes her head and says, "Oh, goddess, you are messing with the wrong people, Mateo. Aamon is an extremely jealous man! He'll have your head when he realizes that you took me."

Dad couldn't keep quiet anymore and he says, "Aamon won't be able to do anything to anyone! He is behind bars and will soon be dead."

Her face shows concern as she looks at my dad and she whispers in a shuddery voice, "What are you talking about?"

Alita

Aurora

These people are nut jobs! What the hell is wrong with them?

And this man, Evan 'the conqueror', does he seriously think that he can kill my mate and get away with it?

Plus, there's no way he's behind bars, he hasn't done anything wrong.

But all these people look at me with pity and I hate it. I don't want to be pitied. The woman, I think her name was Claudia, gets down on my level and she slowly reaches her hand out and places it on my leg. She's trying to comfort me, but... why? She says, "Alita, I know you're in shock. But Aamon isn't who you think he is. Mateo here is your mate, Peelle is your brother, and I am your mom. We are trying to look out for you. Aamon has committed some horrible crimes, and he has to pay for them."

I shake my head, "You can't kill him. I need him. He's my mate and we have a child that will be here in a few months. He has to be around and be a father!"

Mateo takes my hand and says, "It's not like you're alone in this. We are all here for you and we're going to figure out a way to get your memory back. But I think it will take time."

My lips press together and as much as I hate to admit it, some of what they're saying makes sense.

We lived by ourselves in a very secluded home, the only guests we had were his friends or workmates, but honestly it seemed like everyone feared him, and up until I got pregnant I wasn't allowed to go anywhere by myself.

I always thought that Aamon was just overprotective, but maybe I was wrong... maybe it's more than that.

Evan says, "I know this is hard for you to process. We will even allow you to speak to Aamon before he passes if you need closure. But I want you to understand, he will not be released. He will not live. He took you from us, he has warped your mind and taken away your innocence!" His teeth clench and his face turns red in anger. Claudia stands up and puts her hand on Evan's arm. She moves her other hand on his face until his eyes open and he looks at her. Tears trickle down his face and he glances at me and lets out a shuddery breath.

Evan shakes his head and says, "Aamon has done lots of wrong things, but taking you was the final straw. He's admitted all he wants is the child or to use you like a freaking breeder. He cannot live. I won't allow it."

His words strike my heart and make me hurt. I breath out, "Understood."

I turn and look out the window. I still don't know if they're telling the truth, but the thought that Aamon never loved me and just used me hurts me more than anything else.
