Parents
Sylvia's POV:
I was surprised that Warren actually brought Flora here.
Then I soon noticed there was something wrong. Flora struggled in Warren's arms. It seemed that she didn't come here out other own desire. "Put me down! I can walk by myself, you know!"
However, Warren did not act so gentle and obedient as he would have before. He continued to grip Flora's arms tightly and did not budge.
Everyone stood there, stunned. No one seemed to have any idea as to what on earth was happening.
Owen was the first to react. Anger registered clear on his face as he shouted, "What are you doing? Put her down! Have you no decorum? We're in public!"
It was only upon hearing those words when Warren put Flora down.
Flora, cunning as she was, made a run for it the moment she was placed down. There was something in her that couldn't stand being at such close distance to Warren.
Warren, expecting Flora would run away, quickly made a tight grab at her wrist.
"And where are you going?"
Flora struggled to free herself and glared at Warren. "Let me go!" "I would if you stop running away all the time!" "If you let go of me now, I swear I won't run away."
"Well, I don't believe that so I won't." Warren instead held Flora back in his arms and did not let go of her as he said.
Flora's face had turned red from her intense anger. She however could not create an even bigger commotion, so she resorted to looking at me for help.
As I stepped forward to help my friend, Warren gave me a threatening look and I stopped. I stood there rooted and stunned like everyone again.
I could feel the shivers of fear going down my neck. I had never seen Warren give such a menacing look up until that moment.
I had no choice anymore, so I just looked over at Flora with a desperate and helpless expression.
I felt awful, but there was truly nothing I could do to help her anymore.
Flora seemed so mad at me, the look on her face could only mean she wanted to end our friendship.
I was still helpless, so I settled for giving her a strained smile.
Someone cleared their throat to interrupt the silent conversation Flora and I were having. It was Owen.
Before Warren could go on his whole spiel, Flora abruptly interrupted him. "You don't need to introduce me anymore. Everyone here knows now that I'm just an ordinary Omega. There's no need for that speech anymore."
Leonard smiled while keeping quiet, but he gave a humored look towards Flora.
On the other hand, Owen had appeared more impatient. He showed an annoyed look and asked Warren again to explain himself.
Flora bowed her head, even if she looked like she wanted to say more of her piece. There was a side to Flora that was brave and unyielding to force, but there was also a side to her that was sometimes cowardly.
Warren finally announced who Flora was, with pride.
"Everyone, this woman is my mate!"
Owen could not believe the words he had just heard. His usually composed exterior snapped, his face now twitching with shock.
I, too, stood there astounded. That was very bold of Warren to do. From the looks of it, it seemed like he couldn't hold it in for another moment.
Warren began to speak again, whether or not we recovered from our shock irrelevant to him.
Warren looked directly at Owen and said with confidence, "And she is pregnant with my child. Dad, you're going to be a grandfather."
