Hold Me

Chapter 1

Jude looked around the huge ballroom. It was beautifully decorated. Every single thing in the room looked like an art piece. There were white and pink flowers on every table and corner. Dim golden and white lights decorated the ceiling of the huge hall and it gave the room a light golden shade.

Every round table had fancy candle holders with long white candles in them. It looked like a fairy tale wedding. Everything was a sight to see. Even though the wedding was planned in a rush and had only a few guests, the Ivanov's didn't hesitate to make it luxurious.

The omega smiled at everyone who greeted him as he tugged on his shirt sleeve nervously. He was wearing a lace white shirt with a white silk lining. It was designer clothes, soft and comfortable, but he felt strange wearing something expensive for the first time.

Even though the wedding went smoothly, Jude felt nervous for some unknown reason. There was an unsettling feeling haunting him.

Everything felt so overwhelming to the poor boy. If anyone had asked him about his marriage four weeks ago, he would have laughed so hard. But here he is, smiling and greeting every guest at his wedding reception.

He turned to look at his mate who was busy talking to some of his friends. The omega wondered how he got so lucky as he stared at the alpha. He always dreamed about meeting his mate but he never thought that it would be someone famous as Alexander Ivanov.

Alexander is exceptionally handsome. He looked like those men in the magazines.

The alpha was tall with broad shoulders and a built body. He had raven hair and icy blue eyes that captivated the omega when the first time they met.

Alexander glanced at Jude, making him flustered as he got caught staring. The two of them weren't still familiar with each other as the wedding happened in a rush.

At first, Jude was very worried about why Alexander was always silent towards him but then he realized his mate is like that to everyone.

"Oh my god, Jude! I can't believe you're finally married, " Iris's voice snapped Jude out of his thoughts.

The omega sighed, "Iris, you've been saying that for hours," He rolled his eyes at the girl.

"I hope I get a rich mate too because this is awesome," Evan said, looking around in awe.

Iris and Evan are Jude's friends and coworkers. Jude worked in a small bakery shop. Growing up in an orphanage, the omega didn't have much education to get him a good job. So he sought work that needed more skills than certificates.

Jude didn't have many friends. Nobody in the orphanage talked to him, except for his caregiver, all because he is a male omega.

Iris and Evan are both betas and they never once discriminated against the omega for who he is, and Jude thanked God every day for giving him such good friends.

"Hey, why are you standing here? Go stand with him!" Iris whisper shouted and gently pushed the omega towards his mate.

"No! He's talking with his friends, I don't want to interrupt. That will be awkward." He whispered back.

"You guys talked to each other, right? Or is it still awkward between you both?" Iris asked as she quirked a brow at Jude.

The omega smiled nervously. "He… he doesn't like to talk much….." He fiddled the hem of his sleeve.

"How are you both going to do the dirty tonight when you don't even talk to each other properly? " Evan asked as he sipped his glass of wine.

Jude turned cherry red when he heard the words. The omega frantically looked around to see if anyone had heard his stupid best friend. "Stop saying things like that, you idiot! What if someone heard you?"
