The Alpha And The Omega 3

Chapter 164

Mitch wondered why Scott was suddenly in a hurry, so he glanced behind himself to see the other Alpha.

Scott kept him walking though, hurrying down the aisle. "Come on, honey. Walk a little faster."

"Why? What's going on?"

"Mitchie, haven't you learned by now to just trust me when these kinds of things happen?"

Mitch was about to reply, but as they exited the aisle, an Alpha was leaning on the last shelf. "You should listen to him, Mitchie." He said the name as if he was a foreign speaker, unsure how the letters were pronounced.

Mitch jumped, grabbing onto Scott's shirt as if to hold Scott in front of him like a shield.

Scott growled at the other Alpha. "I beg your pardon?"

The response was just a chuckle. "Take it easy. I just wanted to look at him."

Scott took a step to block Mitch even more, not allowing the other Alpha to see him at all. "He's not some object for you to check out and decide if you like it or not. You're making him uncomfortable, so why don't you back off?"

"Are you going to make me?"

"If I have to. Though, for your own sake... I wouldn't initiate any kind of fight, if I were you."

"Oh, because you're so bad ass?"

"Don't curse in front of him. Have some respect."

Mitch leaned around Scott for a second. "And yes. He actually is. Haven't you ever picked up a newspaper?"

Scott hushed him, moving to cover him completely. "Baby, don't. That's not important."

Mitch waved him off, and pushed his way to the front, to wave a finger in the other Alpha's face. "He's the Strongest Alpha in the entire world. So just turn around and walk away, before he beats you up so bad that it's embarrassing."

The Alpha shifted his gaze down to Mitch, and raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Aren't you just the cutest thing? Trying to bad mouth me, to protect your Alpha."

Mitch leaned forward again. "He doesn't need my protection. But you might."

He leaned toward Mitch too, eyes darkening. "Speak to me like that again, and I'll beat your--"

Scott pulled on Mitch's upper arm to back him up a step, before snarling at the Alpha. "Don't you dare talk to him like that."

Mitch pushed against Scott's hold. "Try it! My Alpha will--"

Scott pulled on his arm again. "Mitch, stop!"

Avi had been pacing back and forth in the living room, Alex, Jake and Kirstie sitting on the couch.

Avi assumed they'd been waiting for him to dish out punishments, but he knew he wasn't going to until Kevin came back home to assure him that Kirstie was going to be fine.

Kirstie was holding Grace, while Alex sat beside her holding Wyatt, and Jake was.. Well. Moral support?

Suddenly they all heard the front door unlock, and Mitch rushed in, to hand Avi the blue box for Kirstie, before he rushed back outside to grab something else.

Avi watched him curiously, until Mitch walked back into the house with Scott behind him.

Alex gasped immediately at the purple bruise around Scott's eye, but Scott was smiling as if nothing had happened.

Avi rolled his eyes. "Are you fuc--? Scott, what the Hell happened this time?"

"Some asshole tried to touch my Omega, so I punched him in the teeth. When I turned to check on Mitchie, he got a cheap shot on my eye."
