One Night With The Alpha

Episode 8

 Amelie's P.O.V~

I look up at the candy aisle. Chocolate screams out to me. 

'Buy me! Eat me! Love me!' is all I can hear and I smile. My mouth waters as I start to imagine all the delicious chocolates I will take home today. 

"Amelie!" Misty calls out to me and I quickly look around. I see her at the end of the aisle smiling and waving at me. I smiled back and wave her over. She walks while pushing a cart my way. We are currently grocery shopping but I decided on taking a small detour to the candy aisle. 

Can you blame me? I'm having a baby. 

"What on earth are you doing here?" Misty speaks as she looks around the aisle. 

"What? The baby wanted something sweet!" I quickly argue as I start to pick up large bags of chocolate and place them into the cart. 

"If you're craving sugar eat a banana," Misty spoke with ease as she grabbed a pack of gum and continued walking around. 

"Ew no. I can't have that. I'd rather have chocolate and so would the baby." I smirked as I placed the final bag of chocolate in the cart. 

"Oh sure blame it on the baby." Misty chuckled as we continued on with our shopping. 

After paying for our food Misty and I head to the car. We placed everything in the trunk and Misty climbed into the driver's side of the car. As I sat on the passenger's side I turned the radio on and noticed how my baby was kicking away at the music. 

I smiled as I looked down at my stomach. I was currently wearing a red and black maxi dress with some open toes black sandals. Since it was a bit breezy outside I wore a black cardigan over my dress. 

My baby bump was a bit larger and you could tell I was pregnant. Misty and I were finally 6 months pregnant and we each had a sizeable baby bump. We were finally almost done with our second trimester. 

My morning sickness was almost non-existent now and my feet and ankles were starting to swell. Misty also had swollen feet and we were constantly shopping for shoes that would be comfortable enough to wear. 

At work, Nyx has been with us for about a month now. After countless times I finally agreed to go out on a date with him. We weren't exclusive and I made that very clear to him. We were just a couple of friends having dinner. 

After our first date, we had gone out on a couple more. Nyx finally found a new assistant named Edward. He had started about a week ago. I was the happiest out of everyone when we hired Edward. I was finally over being his assistant stand in. 

Nyx was still a jerk and sometimes I made it very aware to him on how I felt. Since we were friends he didn't seem to mind. At times he could really be an enjoyable person to be around. He helped out a lot when Misty and I needed anything for our pregnancy. 

"Do you want to stop by a burger joint and eat something on our way home?" Misty spoke as she turned the volume to the radio down. 

"Sure, I can go for some fries." I smiled as my mouth watered at the thought of having some fries. 

Misty pulled into a fast food restaurant and ordered us some food. When we finally got our food we parked the car and ate. We listened to music as we ate and my baby had finally stopped kicking. 

Once we finished we threw out trash out and pulled out of the parking lot. As we merged onto the main road our car was hit from behind. 

The car behind us had hit our back bumper. He was texting and driving. Something people should never do. 

After making sure we were alright Misty and I climbed out of the car and walked around towards the back. The man that had hit us was apologizing and asking if we were okay. 

"I'm terribly sorry. This crash was completely my fault! I wasn't paying attention." The man cried out as he looked at us in horror. 

He seemed to be very young around 20 to 21 years of age. He was skinny and about average height. Ha had a buzz cut and wore a pair of jeans with a T-shirt that had MARVEL written across of it. While I was observing, Misty and he were trading information and calling the authorities. 

I looked around to see a small group of bystanders looking at the crash. It wasn't a big crash mostly just a fender bender. Our back bumper was broken in two pieces and the front bumper of the young guys' car had come off. 

"My name is James, I deeply apologize for this. I was distracted and I hit you guys. Jesus Christ, I smashed two pregnant women." James exasperated. 

I softly started to giggle as I heard him. That sounded dirty. Very wrong. 

Just as the police arrived and Misty and James started to speak with the police I heard a familiar voice. 

'Amelie?' 

'AMELIE!' 

I looked around for the owner of the voice and that was when my eyes met with Alexandrov. My one night stand. 

My body froze and my lips didn't move. 

Alexandrov stared at me with wide eyes. When his eyes roamed my body his gaze stopped at my bump. 

I have never during my pregnancy felt shy or ashamed of my bump but when Alexandrov just stared at me I felt hugely uncomfortable. I felt as if I could feel his gaze burn into my stomach. I softly tugged at the edge of my cardigan and tried to cover my baby bump. 

That caught Alexandrov’s attention because he quickly looked up at me with a slight blush on his cheeks. 

Alexandrov quickly made his way towards me. I softly bit my bottom lip as a nervous gesture. I watch with curiosity as he made his way through the crowd and towards me. 

He was wearing a pair of track pants and sneakers with a fitted T-shirt. He looked powerful. Just like the first time I met him. He had an aura around him that screamed leader. 

Now that he had on a short sleeved shirt I could see the tattoos on his arms. I didn’t know he had tattoos on his arms but now I could see them perfectly. Once again I spotted the black ink that covered his neck. It was a tattoo of some cursive letters that I was only able to glance at. On one arm Alexandrov had a whole sleeve of tribal animal wolves. On the other, he had a simple tattoo of a cross on his forearm. 

As he made his way closer another voice shouted out to me which I recognized immediately. It was Nyx. When I heard that voice I looked to my left and could see Nyx run from his car to us. He was parked across the street and quickly ran to where the officer had made Misty and James pullover. 

“Amelie! Are you okay babe?” Nyx yelled as he ran as fast as he could to me. I was still a bit shocked about everything that had happened in the last 20 minutes. 

Once Nyx finally made it to me he enveloped me in a hug. 

“You know I hate that nickname,” I grumbled in his ear as I hugged him back. 

“I know, that's exactly why I use it.” Nyx chuckles in my ear. 

I let go of Nyx and he quickly starts to inspect me. 

“Are you hurt? Do you need anything?” Nyx asks as he continues to inspect me. 

“Nyx, I’m fine,” I grumble. 

Nyx quickly walks away from me and quickly starts to inspect Misty. I giggle at the sight. 

“Jesus Nyx I’m fine!” Misty grumbles as she pulls her hands away from his detective's eyes. 

“Amelie!” I hear Alexandrov speak as he finally gets to where we are. 

“Alexandrov? What are you doing here?” I ask in a worried and confused tone. 

“I’ve been looking everywhere for you!” Alexandrov speaks in a breathless tone. 

“Really?” I question. 

“Who’s this babe?” Nyx questions as he wraps an arm around my shoulders. 

“The real question is who the f**k are you?” Alexandrov growled at Nyx. 

“Nyx this is Alexandrov and old friend. Alexandrov this is Nyx who is also my friend.” I mumble as I pull Nyx’s hand off of me. 

“Amelie we’re dating I wouldn’t say we're friends,” Nyx smirked as he looked up at Alexandrov. 

“What?!” Alexandrov screamed catching the attention of almost everyone around us. 

I slightly jumped up at his loud voice. 

“Yeah didn’t Amelie tell you? I thought you guys were friends. Amelie and I are expecting a baby.” Nyx smirked at Alexandrov. 

Before I could process anything or explain how this is all just a big misunderstanding and Nyx is just pulling his chain Alexandrov did something I never imagined he would do. Alexandrov leaned back a bit before he punched Nyx square in the jaw. He didn’t let Nyx react before he jumped on Nyx and continued to deliver the blows. I thought for sure Alexandrov would kill Nyx but just as quickly as Alexandrov was on Nyx he was off of him. Nyx was now returning the blows. Nyx landed a good one that caught Alexandrov by surprise causing him to lose balance. 

It wasn’t long before the police started to pull them apart. They fought like two wild animals and I couldn’t help but yell for them to stop fighting. Thanks to my pregnancy hormones I was now fully crying at the sight of them fighting. 

Once the police were able to pull them apart Nyx and Alexandrov were handcuffed. 

“Do you mind telling me why you guys were fighting and making this beautiful lady cry?” The older policeman spoke as the younger one tried to calm me down. 

“He started it!” Nyx hollered as he glared at Alexandrov. 

“Amelie are you okay?” Alexandrov whispered softly as we walked closer to me. 

I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. Damn these hormones!

“Hey! Get away from her!” Nyx yelled in anger.

“Don’t cry baby girl,” Alexandrov whispered as he walked closer to me. 

I sniffled and slowly stepped back. Misty quickly came to my side and gave me a hug. 

“C’ mon Amy, let’s go home.” Misty softly whispered as led me to the car. 

“Amelie wait!” Alexandrov yelled out after me as the police helped him and Nyx into the police car. 

“Don't even try it, you guys will be going down to the station. I suggest you call someone to come and pay the fines.” One of the officers spoke as he pushed both men into the car.
