You're perfect...for us

Chapter 43

Zayn

We get off the ground and follow Xavier to his car. We are not sure where we are going because he won't tell us, but he promises it will be fun! I cannot wait! Xavier gets behind the wheel as Azazel gets in the front since it is far too hard for him to get in the back, which means I am in the back with Liam. Liam is a good bit bigger than me so for him to be comfortable he has to slightly lean sideways, which causes our legs to be touching the whole ride. I try my hardest not to blush, especially since my mates are here, but I will admit that Liam is extremely handsome.

I look out the window and watch the world fly past me. I can hear Xavier talking to Azazel and Azazel humming in response, but I sort of tune their conversation out. I can feel someone staring at me, so I turn to see who it is and see Liam staring at me. My face heats up until I am red like a tomato. He smirks at me and winks and my face gets even redder if that's even possible! "Liam leave Zayn alone! I can feel his embarrassment," Azazel tells Liam without turning around to look at us. I divert my attention and look out the window again, trying to calm down. A few moments later I feel a hand patting my thigh and I look up to see Azazel stretched his hand back to touch my thigh in hopes to calm me down. He is still talking to Xavier, so he doesn't look back at us. I grab his hand and continue looking out the window.

After what feels like forever but was only about an hour, we turn onto a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. Confused on why we got off of the main road, I looked up at Xavier, "why are we off the main road? Where are we going?" I can see him smirk in the rearview mirror, "I guess you'll just have to wait and see, now won't you?" I glance out the window, nervous about where we are going. I know I am protected by my mates, but I can't help but be nervous being in the middle of nowhere. I feel Azazel give my hand a squeeze, assuming he feels my nervousness through the bond. I look up to see him looking at me with a reassuring smile on his face. I smile back and lean forward, raising his hand to my lips and placing a small kiss on his palm, blushing slightly.

Finally, we come to a stop in an open clearing. I look around a bit confused before I notice that Xavier has opened his door and is getting out of the car. He leans back in and looks at us, "come on guys, we have to walk a little to get there!" We all follow him out of the car and begin walking on a dirt path, Liam walking next to Xavier, talking, while Azazel and I walk behind them, holding hands. I smile as I walk, looking down at my feet to make sure I don't trip over anything. Azazel stops for a moment, causing my hand to be tugged slightly. Before I can look up or register what is happening, I feel myself being lifted into the air and put onto Azazel's back before he speaks, "You may trip, or something could happen if you walk while looking at your feet sweetie. Just let me carry you so that you can rest." I smile and nuzzle into his neck, kissing the mating mark, making his face light up a bright red. I purr as I continue to nuzzle his neck.

After another 10 minutes of walking, we finally get to a field that is covered in different kinds of flowers. I look up and immediately get excited and want to run. I start to squirm on Azazel's back, making him let me down slowly. I run to Xavier, slightly jumping in excitement, "can I run? Huh? Can I? Can I?!" He laughs and nods, "Yes my love, that's why I brought you here. Run and enjoy yourself to your heart's content!" I squeal in excitement. I run into the field and start to pick some of the prettier flowers with bright colors. I found a really pretty lilac one that matches my eye and I put it behind my ear, smiling happily.

I suddenly hear footsteps behind me. I turn around to see Liam is running towards me with a smile while my mates sit under a tree and talk. I smile at Liam and give him a little wave. As soon as he gets to me, he says, "that flower in your hair is really pretty. Do you know how to make a flower crown?" I shook my head no but looked up at him with bright eyes. He smiles back at me and takes my hand, dragging me to another patch of bright flowers before he sits in the grass near them, patting the seat next to him for me to sit. I sit by him as he starts to pick the flowers, making sure to pick them as close to the ground as possible so that the stems are long. When he gets a good pile, he turns to me, "okay first, you take 3 flowers. You weave them as if you are doing a braid like this." He starts to weave the stems in and out of each other as I watch closely, intrigued by how fast he can do it and how the crown is coming along.

Before I knew it, he had finished the crown and placed it gently on my head, fixing my hair with it. Before he pulls his hands away, his fingers trail ever so slightly down the side of my face and my jaw line. A shiver runs through me and my face heats up. He smirks at me and lets out a small chuckle, "cute." I look away, trying to hide my blushing face, picking up some of the flowers and trying to weave them together. I start to get the hang of it, and I smile up at Liam who is watching me. He smiles back, sitting cross legged with his elbow on his knee, face leaning against his hand. We sit in silence for a few minutes before he speaks up, "So Zayn, can we talk?" I look up at him, tilting my head in confusion, "well sure! We can talk if you want, why didn't you just say so!" He chuckles and looks down, "Well... I mean... what I want to talk about is kind of embarrassing..." I look up at him, still really confused, but I just nod and wait for him to continue. He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, "Okay well... What I am about to tell you is something no one else knows... But I need to tell someone and being that I am going to be living with the three of you... Well... I think you deserve to know..."

I scoot closer to him and take his hand in mine, giving it a reassuring squeeze and when he looks at me, I smile. He gives me a sad smile and looks back at the ground before continuing, "What do you think I am? Like... secondary gender wise..." At this point I am really confused but I answer him anyway, "You are an alpha! That is why you will be the next beta when Xavier becomes the next Alpha!" I get a huge smile on my face being extremely proud of my mate. He gives off a low chuckle before rubbing his face slightly, "I have been hiding it long enough... I have to give up my position as beta... because... because..."

"*Sigh* Zayn, I am an omega."

My jaw dropped from the information and I can feel the shock so badly that I know it went through the bond. It is confirmed when I hear thundering feet running towards us and hear the distant voices of my mates as they race towards us worried something is wrong.
