Just One

-Liam's POV:

A long sigh escaped my mouth, it's 7:00 PM now.

I've worked for 12 hours.

I'm hungry, tired, dirty, and sweaty.

I clasped the house keys in my hand as I unlocked the door, letting myself in as I was met by the most delicious smell of food.

Mom is cooking.

The best part of my day is coming back home to home cooked meal with by mother, showering, and just sitting with her and chatting about literally anything.

An instant grin filled my face as I took my worn-out shoes off and placed them inside the shoe cupboard, taking my coat off to hang it before hurrying to the kitchen " It smells really nice, Mom."

My mom grinned and placed her soft hand on my cheek, caressing it as I leaned into her loving touch " I made all this for you. I know you work so hard. Go take a shower and wear something comfy."

I nodded as I kissed to top of her head before jogging to my room.

Our house isn't fancy but it isn't that bad either.

It's a two bedroom house, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room.

It has everything we need.

My room is pretty decent, with white walls, I have a bed, closet, nightstands, and a desk where I used to study.

I quickly took my clothes off and rushed to the washroom.

" Aah, God," I grunted, I'm so weary.

I closed my eyes as I let warm water run down my body.

I quickly shampooed my hair and then started soaping up my body which was when my hand stopped right above my strong, eight-pack abdomen.

I can get pregnant.

It's already strange that male omegas can get pregnant, which makes the fact that I can too even more bizarre especially when I am literally a 6'6 feet muscled man.

I sighed and quickly rinsed the soap off my body.

After I finished showering, I brought my clothes to the washing machine I put on some comfy sweatpants and sprinted to the living room where I found Mom had already placed our plates on the table.

I smiled warmly before sitting next to her.

I love my mom more than anything.

She literally chose me when everyone rejected me even my biological parents and even when she lost her mate, she didn't stop loving me.

I'd give her the world and the moon if I could.

Talking about what I can give her, I should definitely consider that opportunity in the packhouse.

" Mom, the head alpha came to the area where I work today." I announced as shoved a huge piece of fish in my mouth.

My mom immediately averted her gaze away from the TV and looked at me " Really? Why would she go there?"

" Well, the packhouse seems to need new employees. So I should go tomorrow to try my luck. They said I could get paid triple what I get paid now and work way less." I explained while gulping down a huge glass of water.

Mom smiled happily, I could tell how much hope she had for this opportunity.

"You should. Look at your eyes, you look so exhausted. I really hope they accept you there. You could work just three or four hours max."

I nodded agreeing with her.

I should do that, I can also help Mom more.

I can buy her new dresses, makeup, shoes, candies, chocolate, and all the food that she likes.

I can probably even rent her a bigger and better house.

I'm truly excited to do all this for my mom.

I want to at least return even a little for everything she and my adoptive dad have done for me all these years.

Just thinking of all the things that I can buy for Mom, made me completely forget about how hard it will be working under the same roof as my mate Anastasia.

After we had dinner, both Mom and I went to our bedrooms to sleep.

I'm both eager and afraid for tomorrow.

I just wish for the best.

As I lay down on my bed, shirtless, I closed my eyes while hugging my pillow and imagining it as Anastasia.

As cringy as it might sound to some people, I would give my life to have one hug with my mate, just one opportunity to hold her in my arms.

Just one could make me die in peace and fully fulfilled with the life I lived.
