Scott, my alpha (scomiche) AU

Chapter 10: The Pack

Mitch's POV

"Here we go." I whisper under my breath.

There are a lot of people. I don't know if I'm ready, I don't know if I ever will be.

Scott squeezes my hand, "it's going to be okay, Mitch." He whispers in my ear. Shivers run down my spine.

We walk towards a little platform thingie. It's about one meter above the ground. He steps on it without any trouble but I know that will be too hard for me. Luckily he understands that and picks me up under my armpits to lift me onto the platform.

He grabs my hand and walks towards the middle of the platform.

I look down at the crowd and see Avi, chocolate man and tall man standing directly in front of me, nearest to the platform.

Avi smiles reassuringly at me, the rest just looks utterly confused. Except Chocolate man. He is smiling from ear to ear. Scott must have told him. He's probably the beta.

"Hi everyone!" Scott's loud voice suddenly sounds. It startles me and I jump a little. Could he have given me a warning? I already made a fool out of myself and I didn't even speak!

"I have an excited announcement to make." He just continues like nothing happened. Maybe he didn't notice.

I make the mistake of looking into the crowd, everyone is looking at me curiously. I quickly look down at my shoes again.

"I have found my mate!" He shouts excitedly. Everyone starts to cheer and I hear a few 'congrats.' "Everyone, this is Mitch!" Oh god, what do I do? I look helplessly at Scott. "Just look at the crowd and wave." He whispers in my ear. I shyly look at the people in the crowd and raise my hand to wave at them. I hear a series of 'awws' coming out of the crowd.

"Let's go meet them." Scott says to me before walking me to the edge of the platform. He jumps of first and then grabs my waist to help me off.

Chocolate man comes over first. "Hi, I'm Kevin." He says with a bright smile. I find myself smiling back at him, he has such a contagious smile. "Hi, I'm Mitch." I reply. He probably already knows that but I can't just say nothing.

"I'm Jeremy and this is Kirstie." Tall man says gesturing to a small, blond girl next to him. "Hi." I say before being grabbed in a hug by Kirstie. It feels nice, hugging her. "You're so cute!" She almost squeals. "You and Scott are perfect for each other." I blush a deep red. "They are honey." Jeremy says, putting an arm around her. I think they are very cute too. They have a lot of height difference but that makes them even cuter. "You two are cute too." I say quietly. I am kind of proud of myself that I said that. "Aww, thank you." She says with a big smile.

It's like the whole pack wanted to chat with me and hug me. It was overwhelming to say at least. They were all very nice though. I tried to remember the names but there were just so many.

"Hi!" I hear a very enthusiastic voice coming to me. "I'm Tyler!" He says while hugging me. "And this is my mate Troye." Tyler is around the same height as me and has blond hair. Troye is taller and has brown hair and really striking blue eyes. Not as pretty as Scott's though. "You just got here on time. We all wanted Scott to find his mate." Tyler says. I blush, I don't know how to react to that. "Awww, you're so cute!" Tyler hugs me again.

I also met Hannah and Grace. A very nice couple. And Joey and Daniel. A lot of couples here.

"Coming through!" A see a elderly woman coming towards us dragging an elderly man with her. "I want to see my new grandson!" Grandson? Are these Scott's grandparents?

When she comes closer I see that she is a pretty tall woman. Her husband is even taller. Is everyone in Scott's family tall? I'm a dwarf compared to them!

"Oh my, come here sweetie!" She squeals before pulling me into a bone crushing hug. She literally lifts my feet of the ground. This lady is strong.

"Grandma!" I hear Scott scold, he's speaking like he's talking to a little kid. "Put him down! You're scaring him!" She releases me and I can finally breath again.

"Aww, honey I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to. I'm just happy to see you." Grandma Scott reassures me.

"It's okay." I say, smiling at her. I like her, I was afraid Scott's family might not like me but that doesn't seem to be a problem.

"I'm Rita." She says "and this is my husband Ed." she gestures to the man who hasn't spoken yet. I smile at him.

Rita claps her hands together, "so how did you meet?" I look up at Scott. I am not telling her that story. Scott seems nervous too all of a sudden.

"Well, that's a funny story." Scott scratches the back of his head. "A story for another time. Let's go eat!" He says before dragging me to the barbecue.

Avi is already there. I guess he makes the meat.

"Are we not going to tell anyone?" I ask while looking up at Scott.

"I will tell my grandparents but I don't think it's the packs business. If they ask, I might tell them but if not then not." Okay. That seems fine. I mean I wasn't planning on shouting it off the rooftops.

We ate our meat together. Just talking a little and conversing with the pack members. Today went a whole lot better than I thought.

"I have to pee." I announce.

"The toilets are there." Scott says pointing at a little building on my right. "Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, it's fine." I hop off the chair and start walking to the toilets.

I quickly do my business, still not entirely relaxed being on my own. When I wash my hands another person comes into the bathroom. He just stands there, looking at me. I get get chills all over my body, he creeps me out. Do I have something on my face? He is build and has a slightly tanned skin and brown hair. His eyes are a scary yellowish.

"Listen, you little twink." The guy says coming closer to me. What does that even mean? "Scott is mine! I don't like it that you stole him from me." He growls close to my face. I start shaking. Will he hurt me? "Stay away from him, or else" He grips my arm and painfully squeezes it.  I can already feel the bruises starting to form, I bruise pretty easily. "It won't just be your arm that's going to hurt." He releases my arm, "and if you tell Scott about this, I will kill you. With pleasure." With that he walks away leaving me shaking all over my body.
