Episode 12

The appetizers on the table were diverse, all looking exquisite, Mikkel took a plate from the table and began to fill it with everything there was.

It was a mild day, so he stayed in the garden and went to look for a seat.

There was only one available spot occupied by a beautiful woman in an elegant dress.

"Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here?" Mikkel asked.

The beautiful woman looked up at the young omega who asked permission to sit and nodded in response.

With the sound of the soft melody played by the orchestra, Mikkel began to enjoy the snacks, they were truly delicious.

"Would you like to try some?" Mikkel kindly asked the woman.

"Oh, sorry for not introducing myself, my name is Mikkel," he said with a smile.

"My name is Maria," the woman introduced herself, taking a snack from Mikkel's plate.

"Thank you, just one is enough, I already ate a lot," Maria said, pointing to the two empty plates on the small table.

"They are delicious, aren't they?" Mikkel smiled.

Maria was a beautiful woman, he had just noticed, most of the attendees at the party looked good, tall men of good posture and handsome, beautiful women; he had never used the word beautiful to describe a man, but now he could say it, there were several handsome men at the party.

As Mikkel talked with Maria, he noticed her bulging belly hidden under her coat.

"The reason for eating too much," Maria smiled as she noticed Mikkel's gaze.

"It's already five months, it's a bit difficult, but beautiful," Maria said, caressing her bulging belly.

"Congratulations," Mikkel congratulated.

"Sorry for the question, but did you come alone?" Mikkel asked.

Maria was a pregnant woman, a delicate state to be alone at this party.

"No, no, my partner is inside, I came out for some fresh air, since my partner was being harassed by several businessmen," Maria explained with a smile.

"I see, then, would you like some juice?" Mikkel kindly asked.

Mikkel went to fetch a glass of juice for Maria, as he returned with the juice in hand, he saw a taller woman approaching Maria and covering her with a coat.

"Good evening," Mikkel greeted.

"Oh, Mikkel, she is my wife," Maria introduced the tall woman.

"Thank you for accompanying my wife," the woman thanked, taking the glass of juice from Mikkel's hand and left with Maria.

"See you later," Maria waved goodbye.

Mikkel also said goodbye, a little dazed, two women expecting a baby, he thought.

There were cases like this, it was not a surprise, but this place was different according to the book, something he had overlooked.

In a hurry, Mikkel searched the word alpha on his cellphone browser, men and women alphas with the same characteristics capable of impregnating an omega and in some cases betas.

There was quite detailed and graphic information along with some suggestive videos.

Mikkel covered the screen of his cellphone with embarrassment, looking around to make sure no one had seen him.

"I have a lot to learn," he sighed and put away his cellphone.

...****************...

"Don't be sad, it will all end soon, they will divorce and you will be able to be together finally," Mrs. Juliet comforted.

"Still, it's painful to see them together, I feel like he's mocking me every time he smiles," Andrew complained.

Both were in a private room at the party venue, as Andrew looked sad, Mrs. Juliet brought him there to calm him down.

"Have patience, don't give him the satisfaction of seeing you like this," Mrs. Juliet said with a smile.

She cared a lot for Andrew, he and her son had known each other since university, it was thanks to Andrew that Damen did not get involved in conflicts like when he was younger, something that calmed her motherly heart and took Andrew as another son.

"Come on, the toast will start soon, people will ask about us," Mrs. Juliet took Andrew's hand affectionately and led him outside towards the hall.

Andrew had a pitiful expression in front of Mrs. Juliet, but it changed drastically when she couldn't see him, he was very irritated to remember Mikkel's smiling face while holding Damen's arm, he felt so embarrassed and out of place at that moment that anger accumulated in his whole being.

As they walked, Andrew saw Damen approaching in his direction and ran to embrace him when he was close.

"Don't worry, I took care of everything, he won't bother you again," Damen said.

"I hope so, that omega should know his place," Mrs. Juliet commented.

Andrew hugged Damen even tighter with a clearly distressed demeanor.

"Come on, let's make the toast together," Damen said, leading Andrew with him.

The three people appeared together in full view of everyone, murmurs were not far behind.

"Oh, darling, there you are," Mrs. Juliet said upon seeing her husband.

Damen's father, Kemish Kamprad, a dominant Alpha.

Mr. Kemish took care of the overseas branches, while Damen took care of the domestic ones and regularly traveled abroad with his father to handle the business together until they fully inherited it.

"Father," Damen greeted.

"What is this omega doing here?" Mr. Kemish said upon seeing Andrew, ignoring his son's greeting.

Andrew clung tightly to Damen's arm, knowing Mr. Kemish was not a man who spoke regularly and it was difficult to communicate with him.

"Darling, let's go, people are waiting," Mrs. Juliet intervened.

"I don't care what they do, but this is a family celebration, your grandfather wouldn't like to witness this," Mr. Kemish said to Damen.

Upon hearing the mention of the grandfather, Andrew quickly let go of Damen's arm and stepped aside.

Just then, an elderly man with an elegant look appeared from among the people, all present respectfully greeted him, stepping aside to make way for him.

"What does this mean, Damen? Where is your husband?" the old man said.

The old man was the head of the Kamprad family, Fabien Poirier, an omega man to whom his late husband passed all power over the family Kamprad's actions.
