"Say that one more time and I will make you remember who the fuck is Primo and what did you do to his family. What you did to manipulate his father's decision to bring his son to Switzerland.

Say that Primo is a 100% Santoro, Mrs. Santoro. I will make you remember what you chose to forget!"

Trembling under the gaze of a larger Alpha, her strength falls into a greater despair. Pairs of different colored eyes are looking at her and watching her every move as she walks to side and keeps her mouth shut.

Master Evon soon emerges from the room and calls on Drax to keep Aiden in check before looking at her daughter and asking about her plans.

"Tomorrow will be the day. Since Primo is already at this hospital and already unconscious, we will not have a hard time removing it."

Master Evon nods and acknowledges what Jasmine is planning before facing the Santoro with a glaring anger in his aura.

"Let tomorrow be the last day I will see your faces in my town. Pack up your clothes after the bond has been broken. I don't want to hear anymore complaints from you, Santoros. Understood?!"

And there it was, the decision that no one can retort even Grandmama. As Master Evon enters Aiden's room once again, Cassie stops him before he can even step foot inside.

"I wouldn't want to do that, if I were you."

Master Evon looks at the child next to him and frowns. He shrugs the warning and as soon as he steps foot inside the room, he hears the silent growls from an Alpha.

He looks at the only Alpha inside the room and almost faints. He can't believe it. Of all people, why him?

"So you are that Alpha?"

The Alpha looked at the elder as he clears his throat and looks back to Aiden. He can't believe it. He growls at Master Evon without thinking twice.

He bows his head and says his sorry as Master Evon stops him from leaving the room.

"Let's talk, child. I know you hate seeing him suffering from the outside of this room."

The Alpha stops from walking and looks back to the elder Alpha. His head is still down and Master Evon knows that he is contemplating.

"I won't bite but I will get straight to the point. Why is Aiden always getting involved with you dangerous people? Why does it have to be a Santoro?"

Drax looks at the elder, trying his best not to laugh about Master Evon's statement. It is true that he is part of the Santoro family. It is true that is even part of the Second generation of the family.

But what is not true in that theory is that Drax is registered under the Santoro family registry. The Alpha clears his throat as he will explain his side of story to Master Evon.

In hopes that it will give him an idea of what is really going on inside of the Santoro family. The purpose of the tradition that Grandmama has been forcing to every child her eyes will land upon is to get more recognition and gather more forces of strong Alphas to protect her and her business at all cost.

That is why she has been gathering kids even they were not part of the family. Manipulating their parents to give their child in exchange for money or sustainability.

This is the reality of the Santoro kids. In Drax's experience, he had seen the pain and the suffering of all the kids she took from their family; to train and to protect her richness.

Drax is one of those kids that was taken from their family to server Grandmama as long as he may lives. But as time passed by, Drax slowly became part of the family, reigning him as one of the strongest Second generation Santoro.

Next to him was Daime's brother, Kieffer. But the latter had died of suicide because of peer pressure. Now, Drax can only say that Grandmama is more like a human trafficker than anything.

She takes the child that can strengthen her army and throw them in the dungeon where any escape plans does not work at all.

Master Evon waits for Drax to say something that can answer his every question when suddenly Aiden moved from his bed. The groans of pain and relief is a proof that he was now out of the void and will accept anything that will be thrown at him.

He slowly opens his eyes and felt the presence of an Alpha other than his father. He panics a little bit before calming down again. There is something about this Alpha that doesn't seem like a danger to his life.

He rubs his eyes to see the other Alpha clearly when he realizes who it was. His eyes widen in surprise to see him standing over the edge of the bed with a smile on his face.

And that's when Aiden realizes, "Ah. You are my one and true Alpha."

The Alpha in front of him smiles and spreads his calming pheromones to make Aiden feel safe and calm from the aggravating pain that Primo inflicted all through this time.

"I've been wanting to meet you, my Alpha. But I am too stupid to not let go from him. I don't know what is stopping me and I know that you have been wanting to feel me."

Aiden draws his hand towards him as the Alpha holds it and wraps his giant hands around his tiny ones. His body is trembling but he forces himself to sit up and let the Alpha engulfs him with his scent.

"Safe and comfort. You are really my Alpha."

Tears slowly drips down his cheeks and cries on the Alpha's chest. Drax throws every control that he has been collecting all this time out of the window and hugs Aiden tightly and securely.

He has been waiting for this moment to come and he will not miss it just because he is thinking about the mating bond that Primo and Aiden has. He looks at the swelling wound at the Omega's neck and caresses it.

Sending shivers up to Aiden's spine, the Omega squirms out him and looks up to his Alpha before slowly smiling.

"Can I have a kiss from you, Alpha?"

Drax can feel hotness around his cheeks as he nods at his Omega. HIS Omega. Yes, Aiden is finally his Omega. He is claiming that now, knowing that tomorrow will be the day that the bond will be broken, as per the announcement from Aiden's father.

Aiden closes his eyes and waits for the Alpha to kiss him. Contemplating now will only make the Omega sad, also throwing that contemplation away from him, Drax claims Aiden's lips with a sweet kiss.

Slowly but surely. Promising that everything will be okay from now on. Not caring if anyone can see them but this moment is something worth celebrating for, for the both of them.

Master Evon doesn't know if he will be awkward or happy for his son that he finally meet his fated pair. But the constant reminder that Drax is still a Santoro and he might hurt Aiden just like Primo.

"If he really is a Santoro."
