Chapter 2 HIS ANGER

It was another year, Aparousa had been living with his wife and her daughters. He was fond of seeing the girls around as he always came back home with his wife. They always go home together after their work which always take them four hours.

On a faithful day, Aparousa decided to visit his friends so he made a call to his brother that he was coming to which his brother gladly called his friends together.

"Aparousa will be coming home." His brother said.

They were all happy especially his best friend Nija who had a lot to say to him. He had really missed him as they only communicated through the phone.

Hours later, Aparousa came to join them at their meeting spot.

"What's up?" Tim asked giving him an handshake.

"I am fine." He said.

"We haven't seen you since a year now, you forgot us after your marriage." Nija said.

"I always speak to you on phone." Aparousa said.

"A friend is seen not called." Nija said and Aparousa sighed.

"That's right." Aparousa nodded.

"Anyway you are here and that's all that matters." Tim said and both Aparousa and Nija nodded.

"I have a good news for you." His brother said.

They all looked at him waiting for the good news.

"I found my mate yesterday." He said and they all clapped.

"So where is she?" Aparousa asked.

"With her parents. She was very happy to see me yesterday." He said.

"How did you meet her?" Aparousa asked.

"In the night under the moon." He said.

"How were you sure that she is your mate?" Nija asked.

"I had always had a vision of who my mate is and how I am going to meet her since I was 18 years old which is ten years ago." He said.

"Alright, I am very happy for you. We all have our mates." Tim said.

"What did she say or do after finding out that she is your mate?" Aparousa asked.

"She left saying that she will come back to same spot today and we can live together forever." He answered.

"Alright, I can't wait to see your Luna." Aparousa said.

They were all happy to be with Aparousa again as he was the one who always made their meeting lively. They had three meetings for the past years without Aparousa but none was fun as this.

"I am glad that you are with us." Ken, a friend of theirs said. He had been quiet all through their discussions as he is the quiet one. He hardly adds to their discussion but he contributes a large amount to every of their project. The three looked at Ken who smiled.

"I think I have to go home now. I need to be with my Queen in an hour." He said getting up.

"Dude really loves his mate." Tim said.

"She is all I have got." He said.

"Alright." Aparousa said and sighed.

"You should send my greetings to your wife and her daughters." Ken said and left.

Aparousa smiled then looked at Nija.

"That guy is really happy." Nija said.

"I would have been the happiest person on earth if I had been chosen as an omega years ago." Tim said.

"You wish that?" Aparousa asked.

"Do you know how hard it is for Omegas?" Tim looked at him and smiled.

"Why not choose to be a gamma instead?" Aparousa asked.

"I do not like wars." Tim answered.

"You shouldn't wish being an omega." Nija said. "You should be happy you aren't an omega or a gamma."

"I can never be a gamma because none of my family is a warrior." Tim said.

"Omegas lay down their lives for the Alphas, remember." Nija said.

"Yes I do but I still will live in the palace." Tim said.

"You won't have seen your mate, Tricia." Aparousa said.

"I would have gotten married to a hotter lady in the palace." Tim said laughing then thought for a while. "About your wife."

"Yes, what about her?" Aparousa asked.

"Are you sure her daughters like you?" He asked.

"Yes I am." Aparousa replied.

"How sure are you?" Tim asked.

"Yes, how sure are you?, they may behave calm because their mother loves you but they don't. Remember they aren't your daughters." Aparousa brother, Raymond said.

"How do I get to know this?" Aparousa asked and Nija smiled.

"Simple." Nija said.

"You are the man of the house. Invite us to the house, make the girls work then their behavior will show if they like you." Aparousa thought for a while then smiled.

"Wow, that's nice. Let's put that to work but I am sure they will proof me right." He said smiling.

"Alright, let's see how it goes." Tim said.

Raymond smiled, got up and tapped his brother's back.

"When?" He asked.

"Tomorrow by 9am. My wife won't be home so we can put it straight." Aparousa said.

"Great, that's nice, tomorrow is a weekend." Nija said.

"Do not inform any one." Aparousa nodded and shook hand with each of them.

"I am sure they are going to be cool." He said. They had some other discussion then left to their houses. Aparousa walked home and saw his daughters sitting in the living room. He smiled remembering what his friends said. "I am going to proof myself right." He said to himself.

"They are the best daughters." He walked to the girls.

"Waiting for someone?" He asked and they smiled on seeing him.

"Father!" They both called and he smiled.

"Have you both eaten?" He asked.

"Yes father." They said and he nodded going into his room in order to change.

He felt a hand wrapped around his waist then touching his chest.

"Kamela!" He called smiling and turned.

He cupped her face and kissed her so hard till they could no longer breath. They hugged each other. The following morning, Aparousa woke up early and gave Kamel a peck on her head. He then went out to the living room and sat down meditating on how the day will be.

He remembered that he would be inviting his friends to the house once Kamela is out of the house. He doesn't go to work on Saturday but Kamela, popularly known, goes out not to work but to supervise her little business.

"I should be able to call them after 10 a.m." He said to himself as his eyes caught sight of a book.

"I am sure Laya dropped it here." He said smiling and picked it up.

He felt within him to open the book which he did after much thought. A page caught his attention and he read it over again.

"I am not sure if Aparousa will be a good father because mother never consulted us before getting married." Laya had written in the page. He smiled and kept flipping through the pages.

"Aparousa is just trying to be the best father he can be but he never can be because he has never had a kid and wasn't chosen by the moon goddess." Laya wrote in another page.

"My friends were actually right about them not liking me." Aparousa said to himself then dropped the book.

He walked back to his room.

"You are awake." He said looking at Kamela.

"Yes I am." She said.

He walked close to her and kissed her on her lip.

"Alright, I think I would need to get to the kitchen in order to make a quick meal for both of us before having my bath." Kamela said.

"No, you don't have to. I don't really feel like eating this morning." He said.

"Alright then. I will get myself a little snacks after having my bath." She said.

"Yes, you will." Aparousa said giving Kamela a peck.

She smiled and got up from the bed.

"You have three hours." Aparousa said and Kamela smiled turning to him.

"Yes I know. Three more hours for me to leave home." She said and thought for a while.

"Laga told me that she would like a gift on her birthday next week." She said.

"Alright, that's good. What do you plan to get her?" He asked.

"I do not know yet. Remember you also have to get my girls a gift for their birthday." Kamela said.

"Yes I will. Remember they are our girls not just your girls." Aparousa said and she nodded.

"That's right." She said.

"I should go to have my bath." She stripped herself naked and Aparousa salivated.

"Should I help you to bath?" He asked.

"Hell no." She replied with a smile on her lip and rushed to have her bath.

Aparousa who sat on the bed thought of how the day was going to be with his daughters proving his friends wrong.

"I am done." Kamela said few hours later.

She walked to her husband and gave him a peck on the lip.

"I will be going now." She said then winked at her daughters waving to them in which they reciprocated.

Immediately she left the house, Aparousa got up and left to his room. He called his brother telling him to inform his friends.

"I don't know if Kenneth will be coming but also let him know." He said to his brother thinking of his friend Ken.

He walked to the living room and looked at his daughters.

"I guess you both have to put on something decent and attractive." He said and the twin looked at each other.

"Do our outfit in any way seduce you, father?" Laya asked.

"No, not in any way but I just feel you both should change to a more decent wear." He said and they nodded.

They got down the couch and went into their room to change. Getting to the living room, they were amazed seeing their father talking and smiling to some guys.

"Good morning." They said walking to their front.

"Oh, good morning." Ray said.

"You children are so beautiful like your father mentioned." Tim said and the girls bowed.

"I will like you to prepare something delicious for my guests." Aparousa said.

"What!" They exclaimed.

"You heard me right." He said and they murmured going to prepare the meal. Nija cleared his throat.

"I told you that..." Tim was saying and Aparousa put a hand up.

"It's just a murmur." Aparousa said.

Minutes later, Laya came out with a tray having four plates while Laga came out with a tray containing a bottle of water with four cups. Tim could not help but stare at Laya making her uncomfortable. Laya immediately placed the each plate of food beside them.

Nija smiled looking at Aparousa. Laga noticed that her sister was uncomfortable and looked at Tim.

Done serving the meal, Laga requested to see her father.

"Father, I need to speak to you." She said and he nodded.

"Please excuse me." Aparousa said. He got up and left with his daughters to an area where they can't be heard.

"Father, why did you bring in strangers into this house?" Laga asked.

"They aren't strangers. They are my friends." He said.

"We do not know them." Laya said.

"So what?" He asked.

"Send them away." Laga said. "Until mother comes."

"Really, this is also my house and I can bring anyone into here." He said.

"I should have believed them." He angrily left his daughters.

"One of them looked at my burst, father." Laya screamed but Aparousa took none of that.

He walked to the living room.

"I am sorry for not believing you. I should have always known that they don't want me as their father." Aparousa said.

"Brother!" Ray called. "I guess you should punish them. Let them know that you are the man of the house and if not, they should leave to their real father."

"Yes I agree." Nija said.

"I also agree." Tim said.

Aparousa nodded his head in support to what they said.
