The Solitary Alpha

65 - She's Back...

Even though it was Friday, it was still early so traffic wasn't that heavy. Hani was the right little chatterbox for the first hour of the trip. Gideon kept him entertained and preoccupied by answering the gazillion questions he had. She also spent time pointing objects out to him; she'd say the name in Korean, then Japanese. Toru was amazed at the amount of patience she had for their Pup, she really was a natural mother like the Elder said.

"Hon?"

"Yeah babe?"

"Can we eat at the rest area instead of in the car?"

"Sure."

Pulling into the parking area of the rest stop, it was moderately crowded. Toru got Hani out of his car seat, he was trying to limit the amount that Gideon had to do. They both held his hand as Gideon made her way to the bathroom. Hani jumped and bopped about with them swinging him through the air, causing him to erupt in giggles. Hani saw others staring at his momma but he didn't care, he knew they were doing it because she was so pretty.

Toru let her know that he was going to get them something to eat while she used the bathroom. She handed him her bag that had hand wipes and Hani's favorite drink cup with twisty twirly straw. He quickly nuzzled her as she left. Hani looked up at his daddy confused.

"Mommy's just going to the bathroom, she'll be right back."

Hani smiled as he stood close to his daddy, both of his little hands entangled into one of his. Order placed, they found a table out of the way and got their drinks. Returning to the table, Toru wanted to get extra napkins. Seeing that they weren't far from the condiment/drink area, he had Hani stay at the table. As the Alpha walked to get napkins, someone had noticed him. Toru was oblivious to them as he was keeping a watchful eye on his Pup who was busy playing with his toy car. On his way back, he heard his name called. Turning, it was someone he never expected to see again.   Aya.

"Well hello Sanada-san or should I say Toru now? Since you're no longer my boss?"

"Aya." Toru turned his back on her to return to his Pup, meanwhile Gideon was making her way back to her Mate. The bathroom had taken her longer than she thought as she had a small bout of morning sickness and wasn't sure if she would vomit or not. Luckily she didn't.   Aya followed the Alpha to his table, spying the cute little boy.

"And who is this little cutie?"

"What do you want Aya?" Toru had no time for her as he stood in front of her, blocking her view to his Pup. Hani looked at her with a frown on his little face, he didn't care for her either.

"Ahh, now Toru, don't be like this. If it wasn't for that bitch I'd still have a job."

"That's enough Aya. Leave."

"Fine. At least you managed to find someone Asian to give you a Pup."

"I said leave, I won't ask you again."

Aya glared at him and turned to leave. Their food arrived, but they forgot the ketchup for Hani's and Gideon's fries. He looked up and saw Gideon making her way over to him so he went to get it, knowing that she was close to their Pup. What he didn't know was that Aya was still there. The female Alpha rushed over to Hani, unaware that Gideon saw her. "You know, I should have been your mommy." As she went to touch him, someone forcibly grabbed her arm causing her to yelp in pain.

"Do not touch my Pup!"

Gideon's eyes had gone red as Aya had triggered her motherly instincts and her Alpha side. "Your Pup!? Oh please!"

"Leave my mommy alone!" Hani was using his Alpha side also as he spoke to Aya in a low tone. His cute doe eyes quickly going red as well.

"Shut it you lit-"
