Chapter 208: Early morning rants

Noah’s POV

It’s weird waking to no Elias Deus next to me. I pat the space next to me in panic without opening my eyes. He should be laying next to me...laying next to each other is what husbands do.

"Open your eyes, Angel. I’m right here" his voice says in that signature flat tone and my eyes snap open. He’s sitting on a wooden chair. The back of the chair is rested against the door, and I’m stunned to see him sitting like this with his face showing complete exhaustion. Is this man insane?

"Why are you staring at me like I’ve gone insane, Angel?" he asks and I slowly shake my head side to side. "You have gone insane, Elias. We were on a ten hours flight yesterday, you didn’t eat a thing, and now you didn’t even give yourself a good night sleep?" I ask in awe. It’s not a good awe. It’s the kind of awe a parent has when they’re disappointed in you...I’d make such a good mom, wouldn’t I?

"I can’t sleep in a place where you’re unguarded, Angel. I have to look after you and our pup" he says and I huff.

"We are fine right here. No one is hurting us, Taesan won’t allow it" I say with faux confidence and Elias slowly gets up from the chair. He looks so good as he approaches the bed with displeasure on his face. He slowly climbs into the bed and crawls upwards util he’s hovering over me.

"Repeat that" he growls in my face and my omega lies on his back in currently. That horny little traitor. I can’t believe that part of me used to be the sensible one. My omega used to be the one who soaked up most of the teachings at the temple, but now it’s just...horny!

"I said Taesan..." Elias growls before I can complete the sentence and I really don’t see what’s wrong with my words. It’s too early for his possessive alpha madness, really. I just want to cuddle with him and breath in his scent.

"First of all; I don’t want you saying his name" my husband states.

"What’s wrong with saying Taesan?" I whisper in fear. I’m genuinely scared, but my omega, my goddess-damned omega is purring like this is a heated make out session. Can a person swap out their omegas or something...?

"I don’t like you saying his name. I want you saying only my name. It’s too early for your brain to supply anyone else’s name but mine" he says with all seriousness and I smile at him. He’s too cute. He’s too possessive, but it’s okay, I love him.

I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him down slightly.

"Elias Deus. Elias Deus. Elias Deus" I say his name, and with each time his name leaves my lips, my voice gets more sultry. His breath fans my face and I get jealous that he smells minty this morning. I want a kiss before my morning sickness hits. I want a deep tongue kiss.

I pull him even closer and as if he knows my grand plan; Elias diverts his direction and presses a kiss to my jaw instead of my mouth. What the hell? When he married me, he said for better or worse...wait did he? I can’t even remember anything for our wedding. Back then I hated him, I wanted to go home, and I was a weak prey. So much has changed between them and now.

"What’s on your mind, Angel?" my alpha kisses my jaw again and I push him off. He knows what he did. He knows I want a french kiss, yet he’s giving me a chaste peck.

"You’re such a prick" I hiss.

"I thought Damien was the prick" he responds. And we’re back to fight because my husband can never do anything right. Ugh. I hate him so much.

"You and Damien are pricks! He’s the bigger prick and I’m done with you. Don’t call me, don’t text me, don’t look for me" I declare heatedly and take my time to roll away from under him. He watches me labor with getting off the bed via rolling before speaking.

"You don’t have a phone, Noah" he says and I glower at him.

"That is your fault, your royal jerkiness" I say and stomp my feet all the way to the door. I am a brat and we know it. When I turn, I find his eyes on my butt. What the hell is this man even looking at? I’m wearing pants that are bigger than me for goddess sake.

"You’re unbelievable, Mr. Deus. I can’t believe everyone takes your ass seriously" I grumble and leave the room. I go to the next room, and assuming that my baby brother-in-law is in there, I barge in uninvited.

Luckily Kai is really the one in the room.

"Can you believe that guy called Elias?" I ask as I breeze through the room and head for the bathroom. I hope there’s an extra toothbrush in here or something; I don’t want to go back to that room with Elias. He keeps stressing me out. I feel like a cartoon character with smokes coming out of my nose and ears.

"He’s so rude. He has been rude since childhood and someone has to fix that for him. It’s not cute at all, like why is he all asshole-y and ughh..." I complain as I pick the brand-new toothbrush and apply toothpaste. I keep saying random words as I brush my teeth. Kai doesn’t come in here and I don’t bother looking at him. He has to endure my rambling because he has no choice and he was part of the people who contributed to my kidnap.

When I’m done brushing, I shut the bathroom door to pee, and after doing that, I wash my hands and return to talking Kai’s ears off.

"I get it, we like hot cold guys but come on give me some passion! You know what I mean, right, Kai?" I ask and get no response.

Kai is laying face down on the bed and I frown before taking a few careful steps towards him.

"Kai?" I call and he looks up. His eyes are more red than they were last night. He has been crying. Seeing this look on his face kills a part of me and I fall on my knees in front of him.

"Hey, what’s wrong?" I ask and he starts to cry softly before pressing his face into the bed.

"He doesn’t like me" he says in a muffled tone and my heart breaks even worse.

Oh...
