Sometimes I wonder where I went wrong, or am I the one that's wrong? Really I don't know anymore but I do know I can't have my life in his hands anymore. It's not safe for me but really I doubt he'll see it that way.
No I'm the one that's wrong in his eyes. I mean he's the Alpha and I'm the Omega but that doesn't mean I should be completely at his mercy. I know my rights in this world yet…it still doesn't make me feel any better about this or what might happen.
My mind feels like it's in a vice as my lawyer places his large hand on my shoulder as he rises. Quickly I follow suit as the judge walks in and sits down at the bench. She glances over and I'm instantly nervous by the look of pure disdain on her face. "You may be seated." She says looking over at my mate. He nods as he sits back down and smirks in my direction.
It's a smirk I know all too well; the man never smiles unless he's thinking of something cruel or perverted.
While I wanted to glare I just slowly returned to my seat and looked down at my hands. He'll tell me what he's thinking when we get home though I really hope he'll just forget about it instead.
"Don't worry Lad; he can't get you 'ere." My lawyer says in a gruff voice.
Although I nod I know better. "Yeah…" I whisper quietly as the judge shoots a warning look my way.
"So," She starts as she reads the papers before her, "Alfred Jones you wish to separate from your mate is that correct?"
I stand up as my lawyer nudges my arm, "Yes your honor."
She glares at me then looks down again, "Was he unable to mate with you?"
"He mated with me, yes."
She nods as she writes a note down, "So you didn't enjoy it?"
"Objection." My lawyer quickly says as he raises, "Your honor this isn't the time or the place for that kinda question."
She just smirks back, "Well Mr. Kirkland you seem to forget this is my courtroom and I'll ask what ever question I like."
Its then that my mate's lawyer clears his throat as he runs a hand through his white hair, "Then allow me to object, it puts my client in a bad light which really isn't awesome for a judge to do." He looks up though I can tell like my lawyer it seems he'd rather be anywhere else but here.
"Fine." While she seems annoyed it's clearly an act. "Then Mr. Jones why have you decided to divorce your Alpha?"
A year ago I would be standing here in confidence but now even looking at her becomes a struggle even with my old friend by my side. "He's not the Alpha I thought he was when I agreed to be his mate."
She nods before turning to him, "Mr. Honda?"
He stands up and very simply answers, "He's pregnant."
As my face goes white my lawyer springs into action, "You have no proof my client is or isn't and it shouldn't be brought up 'ere."
The banging of the gavel is the only thing that quiets him down. "While I understand your frustration but if he is then it's out of my hands."
Slowly I sink back into my chair as I wrap my arms around my stomach; there is no way he can know this. I didn't tell him or anyone else so unless he threatened my doctor he was just guessing in hopes he was right. "You can't say that your honor. He has a right ta live without fear of his mate. In fact now more than any if he is."
"This isn't just about his life anymore." She answers simply, "These laws are in place for his safety."
"And what about the safety of his kid?"
"Objection." The other lawyer says finally raising to his feet. "Who says my client is a danger to anyone? Sure he runs with a tough crowd but doesn't everyone at one point?" He looks right at my lawyer with a soft smirk, "Right there Scott, er Mr. Kirkland?"
"Mr. Beilschmidt we all know that wasn't just a slip of the tongue." The judge says with a slight sigh, "But I want a pregnancy test done before we continue." With that she bangs her gavel again and leaves.
It leaves me just stunned, "Mr. Kirkland can you object her ruling?"
"On this? No I can't." He says as he stands and leads me out. "You have ta take one but if yah are then we'll move on from there, unless you wanna tell me now." He moves me off into a side room where so we can talk in private. "I won't tell anyone."
"I've heard that before." I answer as I slide down to the floor, "Maybe…"
He joins me on the carpet, "Now wait a second. Who are yah and what did you do with that Omega kid I know?" Scott gives me a soft smile and alone I can let my walls drop if only slightly, "Hmm? Last I checked you'd never let this kind of shit get yah down."
"That was years ago…"
"I don't care." He says as he takes my hand, "Now answer my damn question."
As I squeeze his hand I nod, "He's not going to let me go Scott…he's an evil fucker."
"Then why did you mate with him?" While it's a simple question I really don't have any good answers to give him. "Alfred?"
"Can I leave? I have to get back and um…I just have to get back home."
I know he wants to argue but he nods and helps me stand, "Fine but you have my number so just give me a call if you need help."
This time I give him a weak smile, "Okay." I say softly as I open the door and walk out to meet my mate in the hallway. "Kuro…"
"Let's go." He says without another word as he leads the way. I look back at Scott one more time before taking my place behind my mate. As I walk in tune with his footsteps I'm hoping that it won't be too much longer until I can walk by my own again even how unlikely it really seems.
