Broken Mates
Chapter 1

Finally getting fed up of staying outside, Tristan and Ivan decided to go back inside and be with their son as it was his birthday. They couldn't possibly leave the kid in the hands of their family as it was 100% correct the kid would be looking for them. Entering the house while holding hands with smiles on their faces, their expression suddenly took a 30° turn when the sound of a dropped glass sounded out from the living room. They turned looked each other, already worried before they rushed to the living room.

Reaching the room, Tristan saw red. He couldn't think or hear anything else when he saw Mr Secks holding the collar of Alan and not to forget the important part, about to slap the kid.

In a flash, Tristan was between the two, scooping Alan into his arms while shooting a fierce glare in Mr Secks' direction as he stated, "Stay away from my son"

The room was ice cold with silence as everyone's attention was on the scene.

"What is going on here" Lvan asked in an alpha tone, showing who the boss was with a frown as he stood beside his mate. Old man Secks was shaking with fear but he still held onto his pride as he stood tall with a not so brave look. Tristan looked scary, the man had never seen that look before and those idiots never told him Tristan cold be this cold blooded.

"What is going on?" Lvan asked again, already losing his patience. Stammering, the old freak answered, "Your...... son tried.... to......to harm my kid and your freak omega mate here......." He said the last part with his hand pointed at Tris but he didn't get to finish his sentence when he felt Lvan's pheromones.

This stupid old man dared to insult his mate. He hadn't even punished him for humiliating and insulting his mate in public and now this!

The man had a lot of nerves.

"What?!" Lvan asked, his beautiful blue eyes shone with maliciously.

The omegas in the room begun to step out and not just them, even some betas as well. Hell! Even Secks backers left.

The room was left with the family and the remained invited guests who wanted to know what would happen, though they were shaking in fear because of Lvan's pheromones, their curiosity and gossip nature forced them to stay.

Tristan who was also experiencing the effects of Ivan's pheromones turned to leave with a shaking Alan in his arms, they couldn't stay. It was too much.

Lvan's true power of dominance.

"Look, look at... at kid" Secks forced the words out. He had his pride and his pride wouldn't let him look pathetic, weak, in front of this kid who was their alpha.

Lvan's eyes dart to the kid who was holding his father's hand in fear. He didn't even notice him with all the anger and annoyance he was feeling.

"Calm down Ivan" Ivan heard Rex say as he felt his (Rex) hand on his shoulder. With great difficulty he calmed himself down and disappeared his pheromones. Breathing in and out, now, everyone could breath well but coughs was also heard.

Feeling calm now, he took a look at Secks kid, if he remembered right, the kid's name was Andrews, Secks last born.

Scanning the kid like a CCTV camera, he noticed he wasn't hurt anywhere but was just scared. The kid was literally shaking in fear.

He then looked up at old man Secks.

"What happened?" He asked again because he knew his son. Alan wouldn't result to violence unless he was provoked. And in this case, something must have definitely happened.

"Your son was insulting my kid, screaming at him when I arrived. He even tried to hurt me with that glass....." He pointed at the broken glass on the floor and continued, "when I confronted him. You can ask, everyone was here" explained the old man who finally got his voice and confidence back.

Lvan looked around and witnessed as everyone looked down, even his own family members. He then looked at Rex who was also looking down. No one knew exactly what happened between Alan and Andrews. They only witnessed the rude way Alan treated the man when he dragged the child to the living room.

"I'll speak with him" was all Ivan said before he left for his and Tristan's room where he was sure his son and mate were.

"Alan, baby, please talk to me" Tristan pleaded desperately to Alan who was crying in his arms. True enough, they were in his (Ivan) and Tristan's room. And since they came, Alan hadn't said a word. All he has been doing was shedding tears, making Tristan feel sad and helpless.

He didn't know what happened but he was sure there was a good explanation and even if there wasn't, he was still going to tell Alan that he did well with the way he treated that old man. That man deserved it.

He knew he shouldn't say that. He shouldn't tolerate such behaviors from Alan but with that Secks, it was okay. At least today.

"Please baby" he pleaded again, stroking the kid's hair. A sniff was heard before Alan spoke in low pitch. "They have been bullying me whenever I go to school"

So, this was the reason why Alan hated school. This must also be the reason behind the expression he gave when they announced they would throw a birthday party for him, and that everyone was coming, including his friends and schoolmates. He didn't want to around them but he still compelled. His baby was going through so much and he didn't know. He wanted to know everything. Everything that happened.

"And this evening?" Tristan asked in a soft tone.

"He said I was a freak. That you were a freak and daddy too. He said an alpha should be with an alpha, a female alpha and not a male omega. He said my daddy will not be a good alpha with you by his side. He said I will never have a mother's love and that I will be a freak for not having a mother's love. He said it is suppose to a mother and father and not a daddy and dad. He said I was motherless. He said I was bad and a freak that's why my mother left me" said a sobbing Alan.

Hearing everything Alan said, Tristan's grip tightened on Alan. He was angry, very angry and he had never been this angry. He wanted to kill the kid, f**k! He wanted to kill a kid.

No, he shouldn't! Then he would kill that old man. The deities knew, he was hungry for his blood and flesh and he wasn't the only one going through this.

Lvan who stood quietly behind the door heard everything. He was sure, Andrews wouldn't have said that as he was just a kid. It was definitely Secks and he was going to pay for it.

"Shhh, is okay baby" Tristan said, snapping out of that cold murderous intent world of his. He would deal with that old man after this.

"You know, I had parents too. I had a mom and dad, but what happened? Did I receive love from them? Considering what I learnt about them. Can you say I received love from them? Can you say they love me?" Tristan asked. Alan hesitated, but he shook his heard when he recalled everything Tristan told him.

Tristan raised up his head, forcing the kid to look him in the eyes. "Having a mom and dad is fine, is good. But, what's the point if they don't love you? All that matters is the heart. You might not have a mom, you have two dads but know that, your dad and I love you very much. That's what matters. Don't think about the gender, think about the love we have for you here" Tristan said the last part with his hand pointed at his heart.

Alan nodded and hugged him. Tristan hugged him back, smiling and stroking his hair once again. Lvan who witnessed everything couldn't help but smile as he felt warmth throughout his body. He really was blessed as his mate, his Tristan, was one of a kind. A few minutes later, Alan fell asleep. The kid cried himself to sleep. Yep! He did a great job releasing all the sadness he felt.

Slowly, carefully, Tristan lay him down, covered him with the blanket before heading out.

Lvan who was still standing at the door watched as Tristan went downstairs in anger. He immediately followed, deciding to stop Tristan if he went too far.

*****************

Reaching the living room, Tristan saw no one else but his target. He didn't pay attention to the kid in his arms putting on a show as he (Mr Secks') show concern for the poor child. Neither did he pay attention to the people in the room. Every guest had left and it was left with the family, the employees and Mr Secks and his last born child, Andrews.

Tristan who looked like an angry mama bear went straight to the not so poor old man.

Pa!

Was what sounded out when Tristan stood before the man. Yes! He slapped. And it wasn't enough.

Pa!

Pa!

Pa!

Pa!

He slapped the man again on both cheeks, glaring angrily at him as he said, "The next time you use a kid to insult me and my family, I will kill you. And for the commotion you caused today on my son's birthday, you will pay for it. I swear to you" and that was it. Tristan left after saying that.Read more at Ebookex.com

Lvan was glad Tristan thought it through and realised it wasn't really Andrews fault. He didn't know what Tristan would have done to the kid if he didn't think things through. Neither did he want to replace out.

Heading upstairs again, Tristan past by lvan on the staircases "We need to talk" he said. Lvan nodded, glance at Mr Secks who was holding his stinging and hot cheeks while his mother, father, brother and friends were trying to hold their laughter. Even Andrews was trying his best.

If he so as dare to laugh, not only would he be beaten when he got home with this evil man who calls himself his father but his mother wouldn't also take it well. His mother was the reason he was in this situation after all.
