The Alpha And The Omega 3

Chapter 27

Kevin had Scott wrapped up in a gauze that restricted his shoulder's movements, as Kevin had wrapped it across his chest as well, keeping the arm in place.

Kevin pointed at him. "You're going to sit here, and you're not going to move for exactly one hour. Understood? Avi should be home after that. You're only allowed to drink water, and Mitch is going to sit here next to you so if you need anything at all, ask him."

Mitch was grinning beside him, holding a bag of ice and a bottle of water.

Scott frowned. "But.. He shouldn't have to help me. I'm not handicapped. It's just an arm."

Kevin shook his head, standing from the couch to frown at him. "Scott, I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand. As a powerful Alpha, an arm is a necessity. An Alpha missing a limb, is a Beta missing part of his brain."

Scott leaned back in his seat. "Fine, fine. You win.. Again."

Kevin smiled at him. "I'm just trying to help you, Alpha."

Scott opened his good arm towards him, and smiled expectantly.

"I'm not about to squat down to hug you, Sir."

"Ouch."

"No, I just meant that--"

"You just hate me."

Kevin sighed, knowing that he was joking, but not wanting to get in a childish argument. "I was only saying--"

"Listen, you're the one that stuck my butt to this couch so." Scott snapped, a small smile playing at his lips.

Kevin blinked at him, and then bent down to hug him, careful of his shoulder.

Scott hugged him tightly. "All jokes aside... I'm really grateful for your care, Beta."

Kevin moved back and smiled. "Well I am very grateful for your protection. You've saved my life more than once. As well as saved the lives of the people I love very much."

"Aww. I'd do anything for you guys."

"I know you would. That's what makes you so remarkable."

Scott grinned and leaned towards Mitch. "Hear that? I'm remarkable."

Mitch pecked his lips once. "Don't I know it."

***********

Scott had obeyed, sitting beside Mitch for the entire hour as they watched some movie. Scott had no idea what the movie was about, but apparently it was one of Mitch's favorites.

Instead he just stared at Mitch, who hadn't noticed because he was leaning forward to watch the television.

Scott made him get up once to get him some more water, but other than that he kept to himself.

Near the end of the hour, Scott honest to God forgot that he wasn't allowed to get up. He tried to stand, but Mitch tossed himself into Scott's lap to hold him down. "Don't you dare."

"I'm sorry baby, I seriously forgot. I didn't mean to."

Mitch turned himself over, laying his back on Scott's legs and grinning up at him. "I forgive you. Are you less drunk now? You sound like yourself."

"Once, Kevin told me that Alphas can flush alcohol out of their system within hours if they really try. But he stopped talking about it when I got my.. Alcohol problem. He just didn't want me to get any ideas."

"Oh. Cool! Do you think you'll ever allow me to drink alcohol?"

"I.. Wouldn't want you to struggle like I am... But maybe a glass of wine sometime. On our wedding night. Sound good?"
