Chapter 258: Over her dead body
Kim’s realtor was with the police as they came outside. It was clear that they didn’t mind her being there, and they also didn’t seem to be biased towards or against Andrew. He was glad that they weren’t letting any of their own emotions show. It might have to do with the overwhelming power of those around him, but he was still appreciative in the moment.
"Sir. We’ve taken the statement of Mr. Jordan. He is wanting to press charges. Before we continue with that, we would like to hear your side of the situation." Andrew nodded. He sat up on the bench, squeezing Maxwell’s hand before he reached into his pocket. He was nervous how the police would respond, but they didn’t move as Andrew pulled out his phone.
"Maxwell and I have just started looking for a home to purchase together. Maxwell is my partner. I think it’s important for you to know that I am a recently manifested true alpha, and Maxwell is an omega." That was when the colour changed slightly on their faces. Andrew didn’t probe, but continued speaking. "Maxwell’s Father suggested a specific realtor agency to us and we went house viewing with them yesterday, and today we were visiting with the realtor agency my aunt suggested." Andrew gestured to Kim who was nearby the realtor, and clearly keeping an eye on the police. Her eyes hadn’t turned back to their normal colour since the police had arrived.
"Kim Proctor." She offered, her eyes staring at them. Andrew wondered if that was the moment that they realised this could become a big issue.
"Uh, sorry for not getting straight to the point. We met here this morning, running through the houses we were planning to see today. Nothing was seriously off until we got to the first house." Andrew exhaled slowly, unlocking his phone and handing it over to the police. "You’ll see from our group chat that I began to notice that things weren’t...quite right. He started with some microaggressions. He began subtly hitting on Maxwell, demeaning me. Ignoring me sometimes in favour of trying to hit on my partner. I documented all of them, and Maxwell can confirm them." Andrew told them. The police took a second to look through the messages and time stamps on Andrew’s phone.
"So what made you get aggressive?" The lady cop asked and Andrew sighed.
"He implied that I would be taking on several more omegas after Maxwell. He basically called both of us fools, and said he was giving me advice as a fellow mated alpha. I snapped. He’d been hitting on Maxwell in front of me all day. I’ve only recently been given the all clear by my alpha Doctor, and with that, my rut is only days away, if not hours. It’s no excuse, but I saw red." Andrew told them calmly. The police listened, making notes.
"Is it alright if I keep your phone for a little longer, sir?" The male cop asked and Andrew nodded.
"That’s fine." Andrew agreed. He wasn’t trying to hide anything, and he also knew that Kim would beat the shit out of them, and go to jail if they pulled any funny business.
