Under The Red Lights

"You're pregnant," said Max, who had been silent ever since Albert mentioned his older brother's name. He said it with some shock, as if he had just realised this thing was growing inside Lilith. Max was really calling him a thing, for it was what would or had already ruined everything that Max was looking forward to, and how much he really hated his brother at this moment.

While Lilith shifted her gaze between the two of them as if they were crazy, or as if they had come from another world, she even laughed while running her hand through her hair, not knowing how she felt: anger, tension, fear, or all of them together, but in the end she said, “Do you think this is so f*****g funny? I'm an omega; omegas are weak; we can't get pregnant."

Albert looked at her impatiently as if she had said the stupidest thing ever, then said, “Can’t your she-wolf feel what was growing inside you? Are you that stupid?”

Lilith was about to respond to him, but the words did not come out of her throat. Her wolf blocked her, so she could not feel anything. Her eyes widened in horror when she realised that he might be right. She had been feeling something strange for two days, as if her body had become weaker. But this is what usually happens after a person goes through a shock. Damn, she tried to kill herself. This is not an easy thing, so her body actually gives a reaction, even if it is late, but they are two strong wolves, unlike her. They will not deceive her together, or perhaps they will.

Lilith cursed loudly while holding her hair, or more like grapping it, then turned and quickly left while not giving a damn to Max, who was calling her name. She had to go back to the only person who would really know what was happening, her mother.

Lilith entered her house like a storm, and she did not find her mother at home. She kept searching for her in every inch of the house, but she did not find her anywhere.

She cursed loudly as she hit the table with her foot. She was sure she was home before she left, while she said out loud, “Where the f**k are you?”

She couldn't wait. Her mind was eating at her inside to know if Albert's words were true, and her traitorous wolf had abandoned her. She didn't even open the connection between them so that Lilith could ask her what the hell was going on, so the first thing Lilith thought of was to go to the pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test. The workers might think she was crazy since she is a wolf, and wolves don't need a pregnancy test, obviously, but at this moment, this was her only hope.

On the other hand,

Albert entered the family home. His mother, who had just come out of the kitchen, saw him and said, “Oh, you have come. Where is that little bastard? Don't tell me that he refuses to come with you again. I know that I have to go and drag him here like a dog.”

But contrary to Albert's calm habit, he would have given his mother a hug and reassured her with his words, but this time his angry expression was evidence that he would not do that, as he headed straight to his brother's study room, saying, "Excuse me, mother, but there is something more important."

His mother followed him with her eyes as he headed to his brother's, while she asked curiously, "What, what's going on?"

Albert opened the room door directly, without even knocking. He was too angry to do so, and here he was, Alexander Argent himself, sitting with all his pride on the leather chair behind his desk, not giving a damn to the world, while sipping from his cup of coffee coldly as he looked at the papers he was working on.

Albert said directly, "What the f**k did you do?"

Alexander raised his eyebrows in amazement. Albert had always been his mama's little boy, gentle and polite. He never got angry and tended to talk about things to solve whatever they were going through, completely unlike Alexander. Therefore, Alexander wondered what could make his twin angry so much that he would curse inside the house. And in the presence of his mother as well, who entered the office directly behind him.

“What?” Alexander said it in his deep, masculine voice and with his usual calmness.

Even though they were twins, Albert was always afraid of Alexander's angry side, or frightening to the point, to be more accurate in explaining it. His mother preceded him, saying, "What, what, what did he do?"

Albert thanked God for having his mother as support, so he turned to her and said, “Ask him what he did recently.”

But Albert was surprised when Alexander stood up and put his hand in his pants pocket, heading coldly to where they were standing. Then she said, “I’m asking you, what did I do?”

Albert swallowed, but the image of Lilith gave him the courage to say, "Did you get that girl pregnant?"

His mother immediately shouted, “What!!, what the f**k, what girl?” Then she took a step forward to stand between the twins and said, “What does that mean?”

Alexander furrowed his eyebrows in clear annoyance, ignoring his mother's words, then said, "How did you know?"

Albert said, "So this is true. You totally mean to do that to her, even against her will."

Alexander shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what?"

Albert said with equal annoyance, "Do you realise the age difference between you two? You're not even mates. How can you do that to a young girl? it's like you basicly raped her"

Alexander did not seem very interested in the conversation taking place, and this served as a fuse to ignite the wrath of his mother, who gritted her teeth in anger and shouted, saying, “Alexander Cole Argent, for the f**k sake and all that is holy, what the hell have you done?”

But instead of Alexander answering his mother and his twin, they heard a female voice, followed by the sound of a crutch hitting the ground, saying, “Amanda, why are you angry and screaming like a suffocating animal? Didn’t you hear him? He created an heir. This is what he did.”

Alexander cursed under his breath. He didn't expect this at all.

Albert turned and said, “Grandma, you don’t get it.”

The grandma's eyes sparkled with evil as she smiled and then said, "You don't say a word to that kid; it's out of your business."

"He didn't make an heir, Leni," Amanda said. "He raped a girl."

But Leni stopped her before she could finish, saying, “Then he will marry her so that he can have an heir.”

This was Alexander's turn to shout, "What the f**k!"
