Episode 15

Late that night, Jasper had not yet returned to either his own house or Reis', with no news of his current omega. Reis was desperately searching for him, especially because Jasper was also pregnant with their child.

In the midst of the sudden storm, Reis never expected that Jasper would seek comfort from another alpha. Jasper had gone to Celine's apartment, where she was having dinner, and heard the intercom ringing. She got up and answered:

"Hello? Who is it?"

"... Celine... It's me, Jasper... Can I come in...?"

"...! Jasper...?"

Still somewhat surprised, Celine opened the gate for him and anxiously awaited him. "His voice sounded shaky... Did something happen...?" Jasper arrived at her apartment, where she opened the door and saw that he was soaked from the rain. Desperate, she brought him inside and gave him another set of clothes to change into.

"Jasper... Why did you come here at this hour?"

"... I'm sorry... But I couldn't go back... Neither to my house, nor to Reis' house... I just didn't know what else to do...! Sob...!"

"...! Jasper... Don't cry..."

I hugged him and he didn't stop crying for a second. After hugging me back, Jasper told me the reason for his sadness:

"I... I'm pregnant...! Sob... And to make matters worse, he marked me... Hic! I didn't want any of this...! Sob!... Celine... I wanted to have an abortion, but when I got to the clinic, I didn't have the courage...! I don't know what to do anymore... My father will never accept me if I go back home...! I'm a disgrace to my family...!"

Jasper:

It took Celine a while to say something about it, but during the hug, I could feel her hands trembling when I told her everything. Nevertheless, she let go of the hug and wiped away my tears.

"... Don't cry, Jasper... You're not a disgrace, don't say such cruel things about yourself."

"But it's true, Celine...! I don't know what to do..."

"Jasper."

"... Yes...?"

"I was packing my things. The truth is, I'm leaving for the United Kingdom."

"... What...?"

"I managed to open a clinic there, I'll be better off than here, that's why I'm moving. I wanted to tell you yesterday, but you didn't answer."

"...! Reis broke my phone! I'm sorry!... I'm very happy for you, Celine...!"

But even though I was truly happy for her, despite everything, Celine didn't seem happy at all. I would say she seemed more thoughtful. Holding my hand, Celine looked into my eyes and said those words that would change my life.

"Jasper, don't abort your baby, I want to take care of him with you..."

"... Celine... Don't worry about me, you need to go live your dream."

"Jasper, I love you. I always have."

"...! 'Always'...?"

"Yes, but since I didn't feel a natural bond with you, I assumed that we weren't truly meant for each other. But I swear, I always loved you! That's why, Jasper, marry me. Let me be your alpha, take care of you and your baby...! Move to Europe with me and let's get married!"

"Celine loves me...? To the point of wanting to marry me even if I'm bonded and take care of another alpha's child...?" I was speechless, I hadn't seen Celine romantically, but she had always been kind and loving, despite being a dominant alpha. When would I find another alpha like her...? I took a deep breath and held her hand back after thinking for a long time.

"Celine... You're my lifelong friend! I love you as a friend...! But if you want me to marry you, we have to keep in mind that since Reis marked me, I am now his partner, and there can be no romantic physical contact between us as a couple... Even so, do you still want me to marry you...? Knowing that I could never feel the touch of your skin against mine."

"It's not about sex that I ask you to marry me. I truly love you and want to see you happy, that's why I want you to be with me."

"...! Celine... Ugh...! Thank you...!"

"Jasper.... What is your answer....?."

"I want...! I will marry you!"

Celine caressed my face and moved her lips towards mine, kissing me, it was more like a peck, very gentle and soft.

"Thank you for giving me a chance, Jasper! Tomorrow we will plan the details of this trip, and buy clothes and a suitcase for you!"

"...*smiles*.... Thank you... Celine!"

I will have the opportunity to honor my name despite everything and I will still be by my best friend's side.

And then, in that week, I started the new chapter of my life, but this time, in another country, married and pregnant with the man I hated. And as much as I wanted to live a new life, some events after that forced me to go back.
