I cheated on him, I should feel guilty but really I feel more relieved more than anything. Well I should say that the feeling I have doesn't really last too long once we open the door to the large court room. The moment he turns around and stares at me his eyes harden. "Alfred…" He starts as he stands up quickly and if it's not for the fact that his lawyer is standing between us he'd attack me. "Where have you been?" He says again sharply.

For a second I stare at him as I find the courage to stand my ground, "That's…none of your business."

Kuro lets out a deep growl as he tries to take a step forward but his lawyer doesn't waver. "Move your ass." He says not caring that the white haired Alpha is towering over him. "Now."

His lawyer's eyebrow raises slightly; it's a part of him that I doubt anyone but I have seen, "Mr. Honda if you don't stop this unawesome shit you might be found contempt of court."

Quickly Scott steps between me and the two others. "And I will make sure that happens if you so much as look at him funny while in 'ere." He points his finger squarely at the other two just as the judge walks in. "And while I'm at it." He turns swiftly on his heels and pulls out a paper he quickly typed up before we left. "This is for you Ma'am."

Oddly enough she doesn't seem surprised at all by the paper in her hands, "Hmm, I wonder what this could be exactly."

"What are you up to?" The other lawyer asks as Scott hands him a copy and while he hides his face I can see a smirk if only for a second before he lets out a cough, "Your honor I object to this. He can't be the Omega's mate because well that's who my client is."

I look over at Kuro now seething but he won't say anything right now or at least I didn't think he would. "So my mate is nothing but a common whore."

"Shut the fuck up yah Bas!" He starts to yell as his anger started to boil over. While the judge is surprised by his odd phrase I have a good idea what's going to happen. His ego won't let Kuro call me names and get away with it especially when it's in front of him. Though while Kuro does deserve a punch to the face it wouldn't do anything but send Scott to jail for the night.

So I quickly grab the crook of his arm and pull him away, "Mr. Kirkland calm down. It's not worth it."

He just looks back at me with anger in his eyes, "Sit down." As he turns back to Kuro I pull him back into the seat, "God damn it Alfred!" I keep his eyes this time as a court officer appears next to the judge.
After a few minutes he slowly breaks away as his anger subsides, "I'm sorry your Honor, I lost my head there for a moment…" Quickly he coughs as he stands back up, "As I was sayin' before I was interrupted I have-"

"A common slut."

While Scott's body tenses up the judge hits her gavel, "Mr. Honda control yourself or I will have you removed." She turns back to my mate, "Continue, please Mr. Kirkland."

He inhales slowly, "I have found evidence that while my client is carryin' Mr. Honda's child he isn't nor was he ever Mr. Jones' mate." I half expected the other lawyer to speak up but for some reason he remains quiet, perhaps he wants to know what my mate is up to. "As you know during the act of mating both parties must mark the others as theirs. Otherwise it's nothin' more than sex…sure it was done durin' a heat and it did lead to a child but that's not my clients fault." He crosses his arms as the other lawyer stands up.

"Guess I should say something now." He says as he picks up the paper. "He has still lived with my client for over a year. While not legally mated he still has rights and he did let my client knot him."

"That doesn't make him his mate since he wasn't the first Alpha to mate with 'im." He motions for me to stand and quickly I do, "I in fact was the first to mate with him therefore,"

He stops as Kuro growls. His lawyer shakes his head, "So you're trying to say you mated with him and that this client of yours is now your mate?"

"Lee verses Union." Scott answers, "When an Omega has given his or her virginity to an Alpha that Alpha can at any time ask to be that Omega's mate." He looks over at me, "And I have asked him and he now bares my marks."

The judge looks over at me and while I expect to find disgust for letting Scott do it she just nods. I get this feeling that these three know something I don't and while I'm sure they're not plotting against me or anything I hate being out of the loop like this. "I want to see this for myself so will you two come with me to my chambers?"

"Oh we don't get to come your honor?" The other lawyer asks in a smug tone, "I mean at least me right?"

She rolls her eyes as she stands up, "Mr. Beilschmidt this isn't a peep show. But if you behave as well as your client you may join us."

When she walks out Scott leads me out a side door and down a corridor, "It's nice to know you still have some balls." He whispers quietly to me as we hurry along.

Just as he grabs the door knob I nod, "Well I couldn't let my lawyer get kicked out of court now could I?"

"No you couldn't." He answers as we walk into a large darkened room. While there's countless pictures and flowers covering the shelves the room feels strangely cold so the less time I spend in here the better.

"Okay drop it." The judge says with a slight smirk.

"Wait what?"

Scott chuckles softly as the other two join us, "Take off your shirt she wants to see the mark."

While I'm still next to him I can feel Kuro's eyes glaring into my back. So I turn slightly and if looks could kill I'd be dead right then and there. I inhale again before taking off my white shirt, the bite mark on my shoulder has already started to change into a blue and white x. "So?" I ask quietly as Scott takes off his and shows the mark I left on his collarbone. It's a red and blue star with a smaller spot of what looks like white in the middle.

She examines them as Mr. Beilschmidt takes a quick picture. "Well they are marks and while I wasn't there to see them do it by how sore and red they still are I can only assume they are each other's." She says with a soft smile to me, "And that's a rare mark if I remember correctly."

Kuro doesn't say a word as he turns and walks out followed by his lawyer but I don't look his way. "Rare?" I look over at my shoulder.

Now she chuckles, "I meant the one you gave to your mate." She turns and picks up a paper, "If I remember correctly it means the purest of love and hmm something about brightening each other lives." She smiles as she signs it, "Though it can also mean sorrow but that's just an old wives tale."

I manage a weak chuckle as I button up my shirt, I'm sure she's teasing but it still sends a chill up my spine. "Oi don't go freakin' him out." Scott says once he fixes his tie though it's still slightly crooked. "Just leave it at love, light and whatever." I can't let it stay like that so I reach out and fix it as he watches slightly amused. "So what's your ruling?"

"Oh you want my ruling?" She says with a smirk, "Well you'll have to wait until we're back into the court room but,"

"Wait there's not buts here." He says quickly and like before I take his arm, "I ain't angry Alfred it's alright."

She shakes her head, "You might not be angry but you seem to forget that you're still on the record so I suggest you listen to your Omega's cues." She finishes writing something and grabs a book, "So you will have to wait because if you haven't noticed that Mr. Honda still needs to speak and while we don't want to hear him Mr. Beilschmidt as well." She waves her hand slightly telling us to leave her chambers, "So after a quick recess I want to hear them speak."

"How long of a recess?"

She closes the door behind her as all five of us stand in the hallway, "An hour should be good."

"That's fine." Scott says as Mr. Beilschmidt nods in agreement.

"Works for me." He says as he turns to Kuro who just walks away, "Well I have a few things to write out now. Thanks for that Scott." He says with a slight eye roll once both Kuro and the judge is out of earshot, "Your ass could have texted me ahead of time."

My eyes widen as Scott gives him a chuckle, "Now what fun would that have been? Make your ass work for once." He slings his arm over my shoulder and walks me away, "So have fun cause I can't give you all the damn answers."

I look back as he shakes his head, "Scott what the hell was that?"

"Just some banter with an asshole." He answers as he pulls out his pack of cigarettes. I'm tempted to steal them and throw them away but just watch as he dangles one off of his lips. "But since we have an hour lets go grab a quick lunch."

"And a smoke?"

I know he doesn't like the way I said it but I don't care. "Well I'll smoke while you call Peter to make sure he hasn't burned the house down or something."

I elbow him in the ribs and it nearly makes him drop his precious cigarette, "Hey…I was jokin' no need ta get feisty unless yah want some," He grins as he leans in close, "Am ah gettin' ma-"

"Don't even finish that." I interrupt. "Because you seem to forget that I know what you're saying." I take his cigarette and replace it with my lips, "But do you know what I'm saying?"

As he reaches for his cigarette I hold it out just out of his reach, "I know what you're sayin' and they are mine."

I point to my stomach, "And she is mine."

He sighs slowly as he pats my stomach, "Ours." While he's started to bond with her I'm still surprised by how quickly he's taken to her. "So let's go get her somethin' ta eat." While I know he'll light one up the moment my back is turned I still nod feeling a little touched that he cares.

"Yeah." I say as he opens the door, "Oh can I borrow your phone to call home?"

"Alfred, yah have to remember your damn phone." He says as he pulls out his phone.

As I take it I smile, "I will…someday."
