As he left, William grabbed a thick black silk robe that curiously hung outside the shower, tied tightly around his waist, and a pair of slippers before heading downstairs.
"Hello little Willi, you did a good job as always" -his aunt greeted him with a smile as soon as he entered the dining room, seeing her and her partner sitting on the same side of the table drinking wine-
"In fact" -his aunt's partner took a sip from her glass, smiling a little- "you're still just as efficient."
---- O ----
Veronica Aballay is a beautiful woman typical of the Aballay family. She has black hair, red eyes, and sharp features. She is a 36-year-old alpha. Her pheromones smell like freshly ground coffee. She always wears a wine-colored designer suit.
Sarah Aballay is a pretty city woman with white hair, intense blue eyes, and soft features. She is an omega with delicate features and pheromones that smell like fresh citrus. She always wears simple dresses.
---- Or ----
William would simply nod, somewhat dissatisfied with what his maternal aunt calls him, sitting in front of the most famous couple within the Aballay family who, despite seeming the opposite of each other, complemented each other.
"It was disappointingly fragile… it wasn't that big of a deal." -the black-haired man would shrug his shoulders-
"Dear… everyone who is compared to you will be seen as little" -Veronica chuckled- "alphas of your type are built differently… if you keep trying to have fun with that garbage you will simply get fed up"
"If it still bothers you or you can't get used to it, you should keep sending your loved ones" -Sarah would look at her nails carefully, sighing a little- "I don't know why you got so personal again… I thought we had had this conversation before"
"I thought that too…, as I recall, the reason Bentral follows you everywhere is precisely so that he can handle these types of cases for you… unless something happened to you at the speakeasy that you haven't told us about" -the alpha would raise an eyebrow while smiling sarcastically-
"Speakeasy?" -the white-haired omega would watch William attentively, this time much more interested- "Did you finally find someone who caught your attention for something more than a night of passion?"
"First, I stopped going out at night a long time ago… and about what happened… it's something entirely and purely mine" -William would let out a slight grunt wanting to end the subject-
"Fine, fine, we'll leave this aside… for the moment" -Veronica would grunt with amusement taking Sarah's hand and playing with her fingers- "Go to sleep peacefully… tomorrow we'll surely have to give a press conference… those vultures surely already stuck their noses in the police to look for answers… that or some of Brandon's men, I'll talk too much"
"I'm sure they do" -William hummed grabbing a glass and pouring himself some wine taking a sip- "I hate interviews that come for having taught a lesson to public figures"
"Sweetheart… everyone hates them… you'd be surprised to know what our acquaintances do in order not to attend" -the white-haired girl would put her cheek against her alpha's shoulder leaning on him while smiling- "Go rest, you'll need all the energy you can muster to not explode… or at least hold on long enough to explode later"
"Rest little Willi" -Veronica would say goodbye to her nephew purring due to her omega's caresses- "in the meantime, your beautiful aunt and his sensual wife have to… strengthen their relationship with a little… fun" -the last purr would come out as a growl that would make her partner blush-
"We'll wake you up when it's time to attend the declaration" -the omega offered to receive light kisses on the neck-
"No, I appreciate the gesture, but I can get up alone… enjoy your evening" -William didn't need to hear or see more getting up and practically disappearing into his room-
When the The dark-haired alpha arrived and threw himself on his bed, lying face up, placing his hands under his head, staring at the ceiling until darkness soon took over him.

When William opened his eyes again, he did so because someone repeatedly knocked on the door, waking him up.
"Now what?" -the alpha sat on the bed, listening more attentively to whoever was behind the door-
"Sir, there are 40 minutes left until we leave" -Xander's voice was heard slightly low- "I'll wait for you at the entrance"
"Right... press" -the dark-haired man got up, listening in the background as the beta left, breathing heavily, beginning to dress in black dress pants along with shoes and a purple silk shirt-
Although Aballay did not feel like attending the interview, he still had to go to a special meeting that he was expecting.
Coming down in a little better mood, keeping the thought of what he would do after finishing with the circus, he was greeted again by his aunts.
"You look good William" -the white-haired omega greeted coming down the stairs in a silk robe-
"Thank you, I see you had a great time" -the alpha would frown while covering his nose when he felt the pheromones of the couple mixed- "Are you by any chance trying to have a puppy?"
"I don't know... you never know" -Sarah smiled softly while rubbing her stomach- "I'll just say that within 8 months the family could grow"
"Are you serious?" -William would get a little closer, sharpening his senses, looking closely at the omega's stomach, opening his eyes in surprise- "Sarah... this"
"Shh-hh" -the white-haired girl would silence the black-haired man by putting a finger on his lips- "it's a surprise... the only reason I told you first is because sooner or later you would have realized it yourself before my belly even started to show"
"Understood... nobody will know absolutely anything about me. I'll be quieter than a grave"
Sarah nodded happily and waved goodbye as she headed towards her own bedroom, while William walked out and went to where the car was waiting for her. Where Veronica was standing next to Bentral waiting.
