Dirty Secret

Chapter 10

Louis was absolutely fuming, no scratch that he was absolutely livid. How could Harry be so stupid? Was he thinking at all? Clearly not if you asked Louis. And the worst part of it was that after Harry's little speech everyone and he means everyone was staring at him. The whispers were heard everywhere and it drove Louis mad. Even Niall seemed to be bothered by the constant glances and whispers based on the way he wraps his arm around Louis and hugs him.

Niall keeps his arms around the omega even when they are given directions to get their overnight bags and be back at the centre in thirty minutes. Louis was given the same directions but without the overnight bag part. Not that he was planning on following them though but he still went with Niall to keep him company.

They didn't talk about the weird command for Louis to stay back and Louis was grateful for that. He didn't want to lie to Niall more than he had to, not that he could come up with something believable.

When they arrive at Niall's tent, the alpha opens his mouth. "Why do you think that he's making you stay behind?" He asks, looking at Louis with his eyebrows furrowed.

"I don't know," Louis lies through his teeth. He looks away from Niall and to the ground. "Maybe it's a punishment for all my shit and for dropping the the gun," he shrugs.

"But you already ran the miles for that one," Niall points out frowning as they enter the tent. "He must have something against you. Are you sure that you haven't done anything?" He asks quietly. He didn't sound like he was accusing him, but.

Louis looks at Niall with his eyebrows raised. "What do you mean? You've been there everytime I've done something and made him mad. You know that I haven't done anything to deserve this," he says a bit offended. If they were really particular about it then yes, he had done something, and that something was hiding that he was an omega. And that he had kissed and slept with the captain, but they weren't talking about that.

"I'm not accusing you of anything, it's just weird that he's making you stay here alone and you know it," Niall says squeezing Louis by his waist. "Do you want me to bring something to cheer you up?"

Louis sighs and cuddles more to Niall's side. "I know, I'm sorry. I'm just a bit annoyed to stay behind alone," Louis says softly. Niall was at least making an effort and he didn't want to be a bitch about it. "That would be nice if you find something."

"Well I'm sure that everything will be alright, mark my words," Niall says in a comforting tone and smiles down at him softly. Louis responds with a simple smile and nods.

Louis helps Niall to pick up the clothes he wanted to take with him and makes sure that he doesn't forget about anything important. They agree to let Niall take Darcy with him, so he wouldn't have to walk the whole way there. It would be also good for her to get some exercising to the contrast of standing all day long. And since Louis wouldn't need her back at the camp, it was no problem at all.

Luckily Darcy didn't seem to be scared of Niall and let him get on her back. She didn't trust many people to ride her so it came as a small surprise. Then again Niall had fed her a few times which might have been a reason behind the success.

In no time, Louis watches bitterly as the rest of the alphas leave the camp. Niall makes sure to waive at him the whole time until he's no longer to be seen. And even after they're all gone, no one to be seen, Louis still continues to stand there, his arms crossed on his chest. He hadn't seen Harry after his speech and frankly he wasn't planning on doing so.

Louis stands in the same spot for what feels like hours but in reality, it was just a few minutes. Eventually, he turns around and makes his way toward his tent. He would be alone there since Mushu was a betrayer and took the chance to go to town. The dragon should watch his back because of it.
