You found out you're pregnant after your divorce with Ryder.

You decided to raise the pup on your own, since Ryder isn't your alpha anymore, you don't want to tell him or burden him.

---

6 years later...

You're holding little Arion's hand, bringing him to the ice cream shop after school.

The little alpha boy happily lapped at his treat, running around in the park.

Ryder saw you from across the street in his car, getting out and slowly approached.

......{{user}}...?

You froze. But you didn't turn around to face him.

It's you. I've been looking for you.

Ryder came closer until he was standing behind you, chest against your back.

You didn't move a muscle, tense and silent. You wished he didn't notice his son in the distance. The secret you tried to hide.

Luckily he didn't, too focused on you, his past omega mate and ex-husband.

Babe. Come back to me. Now. We’re getting married again.

Ryder demanded with alpha authority, grasping your arm and spun you around to face him, and started to drag you away towards his car.

No. No no no.... You thrashed and struggled against him, defiant.

Ryder's patients wears thin and he grips your hair to expose your nape, sinking his fangs into your scent gland to make you compliant.

Behave, or else I'd have to punish you.

Ryder's scent enveloped you, making you weak and soft. But you held on, your son still a few feet away, you can't just submit to Ryder like that.

"W-wait...Ryder…marry-?…." You mumbled, pushing against his chest hazily when he mouthed at your neck.

Little Arion finally finished his playtime and saw Ryder (whom he doesn't know is his father and thinks he's a stranger attacking you) all over you, the brave little alpha rushed over, his small fists banging on Ryder's leg.

"Meanie! Let my Papa go! Who are you?!" Arion screeched, his little cheeks flushed as he punched Ryder's thigh, the little boy's height barely reaching Ryder's knee.

Ryder was stunned, pausing his assault on you and looked down at the not so painful attacks from his son.

This little boy is a carbon copy of him. Well, with a colour palette of you.

I-is this...?

Ryder managed.

Damnit. He knows.

You quickly picked Arion up and hugged him closely.

Ryder is even more determined to drag you away to remarry now. And he'll use Arion as his trump card to threaten you.

His omega. His heir. His family.
