Intoxicated

Chapter 3

Harry's point of view.

It was around 5:43 on Sunday night when my rut hit me.

As an unmated alpha ruts were absolutely terrible.

The alpha in you will start to scream at you to knot as the pain will start to intensify the longer you try to hold it off.

It will get a bit better once you give in to your primal instincts but without an omega to help you through it is still a very unpleasant experience.

Of course I could make it all much easier for myself and pick up some random omega on the streets, but I wasn't like that.

And so here I was stuck inside my room, rutting against the bed in hopes to relieve at least some of the pressure.

Already drenched in sweat, all my muscles straining as I tried to stay in control of my primal instincts as much as possible.

Whenever my rut was satisfied for a bit I would get something to eat and drink and take a quick shower to wash off all the sweat and grime.

Most alpha's wouldn't shower for a week while in rut, but whenever my logical brain would rise above my primal instincts I just felt gross.

Needing to shower for that feeling to go away again, just so I could start the same cycle all over again.

I briefly wondered how my rut would have been if I did have an omega to help me through it.

It must be better I guess since I had never heard Liam complain about his rut at all since he was mated to Niall.

Whenever either of them was in rut or in heat the two of them would just disappear for a while only to return all happy and smiley.

The elders around me had always taught me that you would find your perfect mate eventually.

Whether it was at a young age or at an older age, mates were just naturally drawn to each other somehow.

It just annoyed me that all of my friends were mated already while I was still unmated,

Don't get me wrong I had people confess they liked me every now and then, but I just hadn't found anyone I was attracted to yet.

These thoughts however quickly went to the back of my mind as another wave of my rut hit me and I was yet again forced into a primal state of mind.

Knowing in the back of my mind this would be a repeating cycle for the rest of the week.

Because I had turned off my phone so as to not get disturbed during my rut, I had missed the messages from my friends about a certain mysterious boy who just moved into town.

Being in rut also meant I didn't have any time to keep up with the news and so I also missed the police announcement of a man being on the run after trying to shoot his eighteen year old son, because he "hated who his son was and just wanted to toughen him up"

Liam's point of view

"What do you think of Louis Li-Li?" "he seems really nice doesn't he?" Niall asked, looking up at me with his adorable shining blue eyes.

"yeah he seems really nice, but he didn't say anything about his status did he?" I responded, watching Niall frown as he thought about my question.

"I don't remember him saying anything about it, maybe he just doesn't feel comfortable enough to tell us?" "After all it is only his first day here, he probably has to get used to living in London and get to know all of us a bit better first." Niall stated before he turned around to watch his favorite comedy show on tv.

I knew Niall was probably right but still there was this uneasy feeling that I couldn't quite place.

Banishing those thoughts to the back of my mind I focused on the beautiful boy currently curled up in my lap.

Sometimes I wondered what I had done in my previous life to deserve such an amazing and beautiful boy as my mate, and how I was lucky enough to have met him so early on in my life.

I admired him for a while, watching his eyes sparkle as he laughed at one of those stupid comedy skits yet again.

He really was the best thing that had ever happened to me and I would protect him with my life no matter what.

About an hour later Niall had fallen asleep.

I smiled softly caressing his cheek, causing him to stir a bit before stilling again.

As to not wake him up I slowly and carefully stood up, carrying Niall up the stairs and into our bedroom.

Laying Niall on the bed I went to change into some sweats, turning off the light before getting into bed.

I pulled Niall into my chest, giving him a soft kiss on his forehead before I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
