I'm Not Yours, Alpha
I’m Not Yours, Alpha – Chapter 66

He found it. After almost an hour searching for that hidden pocket in Nolan’s suitcase, he had it with him. The envelope with the papers that could supposedly destroy Madox. Now the second and most complicated part of the plan was underway. He got up shaking out the simple set of pants and cream-colored shirt that Nolan had forced him to wear that day and did not even bother to put the clothes in the suitcase, it would not be necessary.

Convinced of what he would do he turned and left the room. He had no doubts. Madox had always been very good to him. Ever since the first time they had met. Now, it was time for him to do something for him.

Nolan was talking to a businessman going over the rim of his wine glass. The broad smile of victory played on his lips. Not only did he have his destined mate by his side, but he would remove from his path this alpha who had not only laid a finger on him. He would destroy once and for all the guy who had taken credit for his breakthroughs in research on how to regulate omegas’ estrus. That was a field in which his company had invested in another center. But the bastard had been quicker to find the result and presented his results before they did, so all the fame and money went to him.

His father had reprimanded him very strongly for throwing away the family’s money so easily. From that day on he had decided that he would eliminate it from his path. Although he never imagined that by looking for him he would find his omega. The one who was sleeping with his enemy. Just thinking about it almost made him break his glass.

Julian, once at home, would learn that he was not to be escaped from.

Suddenly a high-pitched scream brought him back to reality.

-What the hell is going on?” the man in front of him asked one of the waiters.

-My lord, it seems that someone has fallen overboard.

The shoulder’s face contorted as Nolan paid no attention. It wasn’t like he cared. He brought the cup to his lips.

-They say it was a boy with red hair-

Nolan spit the wine into his mouth and stared at the waiter.

-What did you say?

The man repeated again what he had said to see the alpha get up and run off to where several people were crowded together. The panicked faces of some of them did not bode him well. He reached the railing and looked down. The sun had long since gone down so there was only darkness all around. Only a few scattered lights in the water from the divers who were already in the rescue effort.

He squeezed the railing tightly and his pheromones began to come out driving away those around him. The wretch had dared, he had thrown himself in.

-JULIAN,” he shouted but his voice was only an echo.

When dawn broke the captain himself approached him. Nolan had stayed up all night, sitting on one of the deck chairs letting the rescuers do their work. He cursed the omega a thousand times. That he was his destined mate and that he was leaving his side again meant he would once again have the same anxiety and instability.

the same anxiety and nervous instability as before.

She couldn’t afford that. Another show like that and his father would kill him. He had embarrassed his family enough. The alpha inside him was going crazy, he hoped that once he could unburden himself to his partner everything would go back to normal and he would be the alpha he always was, dignified and haughty.

But the very dog would always break all his plans.

EVERYTHING.

Two hours later the same cruise captain approached him. His face was grim.

-Sir,” Nolan rose at his name, “I’m afraid we have some bad news for you. We have not been able to find you.

Nolan’s eyes widened and he was grabbed by the collar of the elegant jacket.

-What do you mean you couldn’t find it? That’s your job.

The captain shook his head.

-Someone saw him stand on the railing and jump out on his own. He wanted to kill himself,” his voice was strangely calm and it exorcised the alpha.

-WHY WOULD HE WANT TO KILL HIMSELF? I’M HIS DAMNED DESTINED MATE.

The captain took a breath and with a little force on the hands that held him, he freed himself.

-We will keep looking, we will not give up, our company will pay him compensation for the damages that occurred, but if he wanted to disappear, it is not something we can prevent- he turned his back to him- At least if the sea is your grave, it is not such a tragic death, don’t you think- and he walked away.

So, he had simply been told that Julian had already committed suicide. As if that was the most normal thing in the world. She wanted to scream in frustration. That couldn’t be happening. He walked quickly to the room only to find his suitcase open and all his clothes strewn everywhere.

-Did she…

He dropped to his knees and rummaged through the suitcase.

-It’s gone,” he searched again, “IT’S NOT THERE. JULIAN F**K, WHAT THE F**K DID YOU DO?” his growl shook the walls.

It wasn’t just him that had slipped through his fingers. The evidence to destroy Madox had gone with him. And so all the plans he had in hand fell apart. Screaming in frustration didn’t alleviate everything his body felt.

1 month later.

Dominic’s cell phone rang over and over again. The alpha reached out his hand looking at the screen with the others squinting. It was barely 4 a.m. and he had just gone to sleep.

-Tell me Leo,” he answered in a low and low voice so as not to wake up the naked omega next to him, who was sleeping exhausted. That night he had taken great care.

-Sir, I have something important to tell you.

-I hope it’s WELL important to wake me up at this hour.

A few seconds of silence.

-It’s about Julian. Madox’s friend Nicolas found out where he is.

Dominic unwound the arm of the omega across his chest and sat up in bed.

-It was to be imagined that he would know. The mafia moves more than the government itself. So, where is he-

This time it wasn’t seconds he took to answer, it was minutes. Dominic thought the call had dropped.

-Leo?

-Dead.

-Dominic spoke aloud to realize he had done it. Aidan stirred at his side but didn’t wake up.

-Mr. Dominic, the information that came in was that after disembarking the cruiser where he was traveling with his alpha, someone had committed suicide by throwing himself over the edge in the middle of the night. Despite the best efforts, his body was not found, not even his body.

Dominic’s breath caught in his throat. It wasn’t that he had much contact with the omega, but somehow or other they were related. He was his partner’s friend and the person his best friend was in love with. That would not be easy news to break.

-Thank you Leo for everything,” his voice was strange.

-One last thing.

-The alpha pulled his hair back. His head was starting to hurt.

-Nicolas sends word what he’s doing with Nolan. He’s already got him in his sights.

-Call Madox. He’s in another country but I’m sure he’ll lose control completely. Don’t tell him where Nolan is or he’s liable to fly there and throw away all his life’s work.

-I would be justified if he did.

-But I can’t let him sink any deeper than he’s going to be after you give him the news. I can’t take care of her heart, but at least I can take care of her body and reputation.

He hung up the cell phone and his head weighed so heavily that he let it fall forward. She glanced sideways at Aidan’s body beside her. She racked her brain for the words to tell him that his friend was….

But it would be hard, very hard.

And so it dawned. Unable to glue his eyes back together. He drank very strong coffee in the kitchen. His pants hung low on his h**s and his muscles showed how tense he was. His face showed dark circles under his eyes and a frown. She knew her omega would be down for the rest of the day so she cancelled everything she had pending and would stay by his side, he would need it.

A k**s down the middle of his spine sent a shiver down his spine. Aidan’s arms wrapped around her narrow waist.

-Good morning,” he rubbed her head against his back. His voice sounded sleepy-you woke up earlier than usual and your pheromones smell a little bitter-what’s wrong?

With the medications the physical condition, he was improving day by day. Dominic would be happy some other time, but not now.

-Precious, I have something important to tell you,” he turned and took her hands and kissed them, “I need you to listen to me calmly, it’s not something easy to assimilate,” he said.

And she told him.

And his reaction was as expected.
