Chapter 1
It all started when a group of friends decided to go to a club. Now, this was no ordinary group of friends. It could be argued, however, that this was no ordinary club either.
The group contained two Alphas, two Omegas, and one Beta. They, of course, went to a club that consisted of others like them. Avi, the pack leader, decided on two hours at the club to ensure that nothing could go wrong from being out too long. It was in his best interest to protect his pack, and lead them away from disaster. Avi's second in command was the other Alpha in the pack, Scott. Scott was allowed to make his own choices, for the benefit of the pack. But was to tell Avi immediately about anything he was unsure of. Scott took into his own hands the safety of the Omegas in the pack, for personal reasons.
Mitch was Scott's first concern, because as a male Omega, Mitch was very rare and therefore very persued by other Alphas. Scott and Mitch had a good connection, which proves to be very useful when Mitch is able to trust both Scott and Avi to protect him. With Scott paying extra attention to the male Omega, Avi makes sure to stay very concerned for Kirstie's safety. As a female Omega, she was less rare, but still very pursued by other Alphas. Kevin was the Beta, and he didn't mind the attention the Alpha's gave to the Omega's. He just hoped he wasn't useless to his pack. Kevin did what he could to keep order within the group, without stepping out of line.
The pack entered the club, and soon dispersed. Avi kept an eye on each of them, but mainly Kirstie and Kevin becuase he trusted Scott to care for Mitch. Avi still watched the two, but also still kept his faith in Scott. Kirstie and Kevin had found the dance floor, and were dancing wildly to an energetic song. Avi decided he needed to loosen up, and joined them. Soon, Mitch came over to dance too, with Scott following close behind. Avi smiled when he saw Scott so close to Mitch. He actually looked pretty intimidating, and Avi was proud to call him his second leader. Avi checked his phone to see that they had less than a half hour to continue this. Everything had gone well, and he was glad he made the choice to bring them here. He glanced around at his pack again, smiling at Kirstie and Kevin having so much fun. The smile on Kirstie's face actually brought a smile to Avi's, just by looking at it. Avi saw Scott lean down so Mitch could whisper something in his ear. Scott then held up one finger to tell him to wait, before he walked over to Avi. "This is probably a stupid question, but do I have to walk him to the bathroom too? And, like, go in and stuff? It's not that I'm slacking on my responsibilities, I'd do anything for him. I just don't want him to feel suffocated."
Avi thought a moment, and then looked back up at Scott. "Just wait outside the bathroom door and pay close attention. Anything sounds strange, and you go in. He trusts you a lot, Scott. You'll know if something is wrong."
Scott nodded, and walked away. Avi turned back to watch the two dancing. He considered letting them all say a bit longer, but then shook his head at his silliness. If I don't stick to my own rules, how can I expect my pack to?
Avi approached them, and told them to get ready to leave. "As soon as Scott and Mitchell come back, we are leaving. Understood?" They both silently nodded.
Scott watched Mitch go into the bathroom, and then leaned on the wall outside the door. He'll be fine, calm down.
Scott listened for anything that would tell him Mitch wasn't okay. Nothing came. He was just beginning to relax, when he sensed it. Fear.
Was it Mitch? He didn't know. But he didn't wait around to find out. Scott ran through the doors into the bathroom, to find Mitch cornered by a very arrogant Alpha. Scott hesitated for a short second, before he calmly walked up to the Alpha.
"Excuse me. I think you're scaring my Omega."
The man turned and glared at Scott. "Your Omega? He isn't Marked. You haven't claimed him yet, so I have as much a right as you."
Scott thought about that for a moment. He's right...Plan B.
Scott stood a little taller, and set his jaw. He mustered up the strongest Alpha voice he could find. "Alright, well. Try taking him from me. I dare you." The other Alpha took one more look at Mitch, before turning to Scott. "He isn't even worth it."
He walked out, making sure to slam into Scott's shoulder on his way. Scott held his ground though, as he had more important things to worry about.
Scott instantly ran over to where Mitch was cowering in a corner. "Are you alright?"
Mitch nodded, before throwing himself into Scott's arms. "Thank you, Alpha."
Scott was surprised by this, but held him nonetheless. "I'll always protect you, darling. Lets get you back to Avi, okay?"
Mitch nodded and let go. He had barely cracked the door open, before he turned around. "Scott... I'm scared."
Scott smiled at him, and took Mitch's hand in his own. "You have nothing to be afraid of. Not while I'm around."
Mitch let himself be led out of the bathroom, and through the crowd toward where his pack was waiting by the door. Avi looked at Scott expectantly. "Everything went well?"
Scott looked down at Mitch, before answering. "Yes. Are we all ready to leave?"
Avi nodded. "Let's go." They all followed their strong leader out the door and to the car. Scott was helping Mitch into the backseat, when Mitch looked at Scott. He quietly asked, "Do you promise?"
Scott tilted his head. "Promise what?"
"That I'm always safe around you."
"Yes, love. I promise."
*********
Chapter 2
After the event in the club, Avi took everyone home. Avi told the two Omegas to go to their rooms and wait for their Alphas. Kevin said goodnight as he went to his separate bedroom.
Avi waited for them all to be out of the living room, before he turned to Scott and smiled at him. "You did a great job today." He praised. Scott nodded. "Just protecting your pack." "Our pack." Avi corrected. Scott looked perplexed. "Our?" Avi nodded and smiled. "You've always been my second in command. But I think today's events have really proven your strength." Scott was suddenly filled with pride. Avi noticed and smiled before continuing. "I still want you to report to me before making any major decisions. But I trust you to care for our pack." "Thank you Avi. That means so much to me, you have no idea." "Of course. Go take care of Mitch. He's still reeling from earlier." Scott nodded and immediately walked quickly down the hall to he and Mitch's bedroom. First he stopped in Kirstin and Avi's room to tell her that Avi would be in shortly. He entered he and Mitch's shared room, and took in the condition that the omega was in.
Mitch was just sitting on the edge of the bed with a blank look on his face. Scott sat down next to him, and put a comforting hand on his leg. "How you doing, darling?" Mitch shrugged. "I'm alright. Thank you, again." Scott nodded, and Mitch set his head down on Scott's strong shoulder. "Of course." Mitch closed his eyes, and sighed. "Why don't we go to sleep, Mitchie? You've had a long day." Scott asked gently. Mitch nodded sleepily. "Yes please, sir." *****
Mitch woke up, and slunk out of Scott's grip. He walked into the kitchen, and smiled at Avi.
"Good morning, Alpha." Avi turned to look at him and smiled. "Morning. Where's Scott?" "Still asleep. Should I get him?" Mitch asked hurriedly. "No, no. Let him sleep." Mitch nodded and stood next to Avi in front of the stove. "Whatcha making?" "Kevin made it actually. He's just in the bathroom. Thank him when he comes out here." Avi commanded. "Yes, sir." Avi suddenly turned toward the hallway that lead to the bedrooms. "Kirstin is awake. I'll be back." He then headed toward his bedroom, and closed the door behind him. Kevin walked out of the bathroom then. He smiled at Mitch. "You hungry?" Mitch nodded and smiled. "Thank you for making breakfast." "Least I could do." Kevin grabbed a plate, and left it out for Scott to put Mitch's selective portions on it. Kevin sat down at the table, and Mitch sat next to him to wait for Scott. "Can I tell you something, Mitch?" Mitch nodded excitedly. "I.. I think I found a beta of my own.." Kevin said quietly. Mitch scooted forward in his chair. "You told me yesterday. I want to meet her! Does Avi know yet?" Kevin looked down at the table. "Not exactly." "What?! Oh no. Do you know what he'll do if he finds out??" Mitch asked frantically. Kevin was going to get in huge trouble. "Finds out what?" Avi suddenly said out of nowhere. Mitch gulped and looked towards the hallway. Both Scott and Avi stood in the entrance of the hall. Scott's arms crossed over his chest, and Avi leaned against the wall. "I asked you a question, Omega." Avi growled. Mitch instantly stood, held his hands behind his back and bowed his head in submission.
"Yes, sir. Kevin has something to tell you." Mitch said quietly. "Speak up when I talk to you, Omega." Avi said powerfully. "My sincerest apologies, Alpha. Kevin has something to tell you, sir." Mitch said again, louder. Avi gave him a curt nod. "Kevin?" Kevin stood, and made a brief eye contact with Mitch who was standing frozen in his submissive stance. Kevin turned. "Sir. I've.. I've recently come across a lovely Beta." Avi stepped forward. "When were you going to tell me?" Kevin's confidence faltered. "I.. Well. I was going to bring her over for dinner sometime this week." "You have to tell me about these things immediately. You know the rules. Did you tell Scott?" Avi questioned. "No, sir." Kevin replied. "Why not?" "I.. I don't know. I just didn't think of it at the time.." Kevin trailed off. "Unacceptable. Kevin I need to have a talk with you in private. And Mitch I'll deal with your situation afterwards. Actually.. Scott? Why don't you take care of it?" Avi said turning to Scott as Kevin walked down the hall. Scott nodded. "I'll do my best." "I know you will." Kevin walked into his room, and Avi followed. Scott turned to Mitch. "You'll eat after we talk about this, understand?" Mitch nodded. "Yes, sir." Scott nodded towards the hallway, and Mitch kept his head bowed as he walked into his room. Scott followed closely behind him, practically breathing down his neck.
Scott then closed the door behind them, and cleared his throat. He was a little nervous, but he wanted to do as well as Avi would. Mitch stood in his stance, and waited. "How long did you know about Kevin's secret?" Scott asked, circling around Mitch. "Two days." "Two days, what?"
"Two days, sir."
"Good boy. Now. Why didn't you tell one of your alphas about what you heard?" Scott questioned. "I.. He told me.. Kevin didn't want me to say anything. It wasn't my place to tell." Mitch fumbled over his words a bit, becoming increasingly more nervous under Scott's harsh gaze.
"Is Kevin in charge of you?" Scott asked with an eyebrow raised, as he continued to circle around the smaller boy. "No, sir. He is not." Mitch said confidently. "Who is in charge of you, Mitchell?" "Avi.." Mitch said, a little unsure. "Who else?" "You." Mitch stated. Scott stopped in front of him, and lifted Mitch's chin with two of his fingers. "Look at me for a second." Mitch let his eyes meet Scott's icy blue ones. "You know better, Omega. Don't you? You know better than to hold information from your Alphas. Correct?" Scott asked gently. "Yes, sir. I know better." Mitch answered. "Good. And you'll take your punishment like a good boy, won't you?" Mitch nodded. "You understand what you're being punished for?" Mitch nodded again.
"Use your words, Omega." Scott demanded. "Yes, Alpha. I understand what I'm being punished for. And I'm grateful for whatever you give me, as it will teach me a lesson." Mitch recited. He remembered how this used to go with Avi. Scott was no different. Except that he was truly, madly, deeply in love with this Alpha. *****
Chapter 3
Everyone sat somewhat awkwardly at the table as they listened to Mitch's punishment.
Avi seemed comfortable enough, but Kirstin kept shifting in her seat. She'd gotten these kinds of punishments too.
They sat in silence while they heard smacks and Mitch counting the hits. Mitch didn't get punished often, so to hear him shouting and being spanked was quite odd for everyone who heard it. *****
Once Scott and Mitch finally emerged from their bedroom, the rest of the pack was already seated eating breakfast. Mitch had a bit of a limp, and the moment Avi saw it he smiled proudly at Scott. Scott practically began to glow under the approval. Mitch hobbled over to where Kevin had set a plate out for him, and handed it to Scott. "May I eat now, Alpha?" Mitch asked quietly. Scott smiled at him, and nodded. Mitch cringed when he took a seat next to Kirstie, as she was eating the meal Avi allowed her to. Scott set Mitch's plate down in front of him with a generous portion of food to accommodate for the harsh punishment he had taken. "Thank you very much, Sir." Mitch stated. Scott smiled and sat down next to him to eat his own food. The rest of the meal consisted of Mitch shifting in his chair to lessen the pain of his punishment, Scott grinning proudly every time he did so, and Avi silently congratulating Scott when this all happened. Kevin just sat silently eating after the lecture he'd received from the Alpha, while Kirstie sat happily chewing, glad that all the punishments were over. *****
Later that evening, Scott sat on the couch with Mitch on his lap. Kevin sat next to them while they all watched The Office. Mitch cuddled into Scott's chest while the taller boy subconsciously rubbed comforting circles into the Omega's arm. Mitch had only just closed his eyes, when Kirstie came flying out of her room with a smile on her face. "Mitch! Mitchie, come quick!" Kirstie called her fellow Omega. Scott immediately smelled something different when Kirstin ran into the room. Mitch stood up and ran towards her to try to match her excitement. Scott inhaled deeply to see if he could smell something on Kirstin, and tilted his head. "No way. Avi finally did it." Kevin looked back from Scott to Kirstie. "Did what?" Kirstie squealed and tipped her head to the side to show off her neck. Mitch looked closely and gasped. "He Marked you." See, 'Marking' is a kind of thing that Alphas to do their Omegas when they want to permanently bond. It's just a simple bite on the neck, but it means a lot more than it seems. A bond is kind of like a marriage, but allows more of an emotional connection than a typical couple.
For example, if Kirstie fell and got hurt, Avi would know even if he wasn't around. He would then be overwhelmed to protect her.
If Avi was upset, Kirstie would be able to see it on his face and immediately feel the urge to make him happy again. Mitch hesitantly reached out and touched the bite mark on Kirstin's neck. But as soon as he touched it, he pulled away quickly as if it had burned him. Kirstie squealed again and started to clap. "I am SO happy! God, I love him, Mitch. I really do." "That's so exciting Kirst. Y'all are so cute together!" Mitch said excitedly. Kirstin ran back into her bedroom to see Avi again, and Kevin shook his head fondly at her. Mitch watched her go, and then turned to look at Scott. 'Why hasn't Scott marked ME yet? I wonder if I did something wrong. Maybe that thing with Kevin.. Maybe Scott thinks I'm disobedient because I didn't tell him Kevin's secret..'
Suddenly Mitch noticed Scott standing in front of him snapping his fingers in his face. "Earth to Mitchell. You okay there, love?" Mitch shook his head to snap himself back from his thoughts. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. I.. Can I talk to you a second, Sir?" Scott furrowed his eyebrows and nodded. "Always. Bedroom?" Mitch nodded and turned on his heel to walk into their room. Scott followed him after nodding at Kevin to say 'goodbye'. When Scott opened the door, Mitch was pacing back and forth while running a hand through his hair. Scott laughed and closed the door. "You seem stressed. Everything alright?" Mitch continued to pace, and didn't answer. Scott raised an eyebrow and walked in front of Mitch to get in his way. Also causing Mitch to meet his eyes. "I know you did not just ignore your Alpha." Scott said powerfully. Mitch scoffed. "You're not my Alpha. Avi is, technically."
Scott grabbed Mitch's shoulders. "Mitch. Don't. You never act out like this. What's wrong?" "Well I must do something wrong for you not to like me. If its not acting out, what is it?" Mitch asked. "What the Hell is this Mitchell? Explain this attitude immediately." Scott commanded as his Alpha eyes began to glow red. "I don't have to answer to you. Avi is my Alpha." Mitch snapped. "Don't make me punish you, Omega." Scott ground out through clenched teeth. That had Mitch squirming, but Scott kept a vice grip on his shoulders. "You better explain right the hell now Omega. I've just about had it with your attitude. Keep this up, and I'll ensure that you won't be able to walk for a week. I'll let Avi punish you afterwards too." Scott growled. Mitch whimpered and instantly bowed his head. "Oh God. Please forgive me, Alpha. Please don't punish me. Please." Scott's grip slid down from his shoulders and grabbed Mitch's forearms. "What. Is. Your. Problem. Omega?"
Mitch whined at the Alpha's angry tone. "Why won't you Mark me?" He whispered. Scott let his eyes change back to normal, and he loosened his grip on Mitch's arms. "Speak up, Omega." Scott demanded. "What do Kirstie and Avi have that we don't? Why haven't you Marked me yet?" Mitch spoke a little louder. Scott looked confused, as Mitch never spoke of this kind of thing before. Mitch looked up with tears in his eyes. "What's wrong with me? Don't..Don't you l-love me?" He sobbed after his sentence and covered his mouth when he did so. Scott instantly hugged the smaller boy, and regretted being so harsh on him. But he had to, to maintain order. To prove he possessed the same power that Avi did. Mitch cried into his shoulder as Scott rubbed his back. "You didn't deserve to be yelled at, darling. You're such a good boy. Always such a good boy." Scott praised, knowing it appealed to the Omega's instincts to please. Mitch let himself cry everything out, and allowed Scott's words to comfort him. Mitch cleared his throat, and kept his head burrowed into Scott's chest. Scott picked up Mitch's small body and gently placed him on the bed. He was about to hop in next to him, when Avi appeared in the doorway. "I can smell Mitch's sadness all the way from my room. What are you doing in here? You should be comforting him. I shouldn't smell that kind of despair for more than a second before you take care of it. Understand?" Avi ordered. "Understood. I'm taking care of it. Sorry to bother you. Is Kevin in bed yet?" Scott asked.
"Kevin is asleep, and Kirstie and I will be soon. Take care of him, Scott. He really needs an Alpha as strong as you in his life. Don't you dare let me down." Avi said forcefully. Scott nodded. Avi left and closed the door behind him. Scott thought for a moment, and then turned to face Mitch, who had his eyes on him from where he was lying on the bed. Scott took off his jeans and his shirt and ordered Mitch to do the same. Once they were both comfortable and lying down, Scott wrapped an arm around Mitch. Mitch turned around to face him, and Scott grazed his fingers up and down Mitch's arm. "Please tell me what's wrong. Please don't cry. Just talk to me, sweetheart." Scott spoke gently. "I'm.. I'm sorry I.. When Kirstin walked in with Avi's Mark on her neck.. I think I got jealous. I think I got worried that you would never Mark me.." Mitch confessed. "Oh Mitchie. Our time will come too. It just has to be right for both of us. I don't want to do it, just because Avi did. We aren't even a couple.. Do you even want to be my omega? It seems like whenever something happens, you go to Avi...Oh." Scott stopped himself, and his hand on Mitch's arm froze. "What?" "You want me, because you can't have Avi." Scott realized. Scott sat up, and let his thoughts run for a minute. "What? No. Absolutely not. I want you, because I don't want to be an Unmarked Omega anymore. I want Alphas to come near me and know that I belong to someone... I want that 'someone' to be you." Mitch sat up as well. "Then why do you always run to Avi? Why can't you trust me to take care of you? Why is Avi hyper aware of your sadness?" Scott began firing questions as his thoughts got worse. "Scott, it is way too late at night to be talking like this. Avi's job is to protect all of us. Including you. I know you think you're a big bad Alpha, but he's in charge of you too. Just like the rest of us. I go to Avi, because that's what I'm supposed to do. We are all his responsibilities." Mitch explained. Scott turned to glare at him. "Excuse you, Omega. I am a big bad Alpha. I'm not the leader, but I am the next in line. He's asked me to take better care of you. If you are ungrateful of my care, then I can just leave. I'll go sleep on the sofa. Maybe I'll send Avi in here, just to make you happy. Is that what you want?"
Scott stood from the bed and put his hands on his hips. Mitch let his eyes trail down to Scott's boxers, but quickly met his eyes. "No answer? Fine. Then that's exactly what I'll do. Have fun sleeping with Avi." Scott snapped.
Mitch started to argue. "No, Scott. That's not what I-" Scott turned around, and his eyes flashed red. "Did you just say 'No, Scott'?"
Mitch whimpered again. "I'm sorry, sir." Scott shook his head. "I'll be on the couch. Come get me if you need anyth-.. Actually. Why don't you go tell Avi if you need something? You clearly don't need me, so." Scott walked out and slammed the door behind him. *****
