The Alpha And The Omega 4

Chapter 40

Though Kirstie was glad to go to sleep, Mitch was annoyed with even the thought of sleep.

Told Scott he was 'sleeping his life away' though he'd only been sick for a few days.

Mitch suddenly turned over and flopped onto his stomach. "I hate this."

Scott was briefly going through messages he'd missed, a few emails as well. "I know. But it'll pass. You'll be better before you even know it, Sweetheart."

Mitch groaned loudly. "That's not fast enough."

"I'm sorry, babe. I wish I could help, somehow."

Mitch turned over again, peeking up at Scott. "Can I ask you something?"

"You know the answer to that, silly." Scott grinned, still staring at the screen of his phone.

Mitch wasn't joking around though. "Alpha, please. I need an answer."

Scott looked over, attention grabbed by the urgency in his voice. "Yes, baby. You can ask me anything."

"Even if... It's about the night of my birthday?"

Scott put his phone away completely, a concerned look on his face. "What about it, baby?"

"Do we have to tell Avi about it?"

"What if I told you I already did?"

Mitch's face became impossibly more pale. "What?! You told him?!"

Scott nodded slowly. "Yeah... Well. Sort of. I was a little worried about it, but... I didn't fully tell him what it was about."

Mitch was a little more on edge now. "Scott... What did you tell him, exactly?"

"That... Something didn't happen between you and I."

"Right. Because I didn't want to."

"Correct. You didn't want to."

"So, to be clear, you didn't tell him that you didn't wear a condom?"

There wasn't another word spoken until Alex came over to hang out.

Travis plopped himself on the couch beside Kirstie, grinning down at Grace in her arms, and inquiring about how she felt now that the virus had passed.

Alex had gone in to hug Mitch, but pulled away with a gasp.

Mitch truly didn't know what he was getting at, and frowned. "What's wrong?"

Alex met Avi's eyes, who'd been watching them from the couch. "Um... Can I talk to you for a bit, Minnie?"

Mitch nodded, grabbing his hand to follow him wherever he went.

Alex had just rushed them upstairs, before flipping around quickly.

He leaned down to briefly kiss Mitch's neck, and then jumped back. "I knew it."

"Knew wh--?"

"I knew it!"

Scott opened his bedroom door suddenly, appearing as though he'd just come out of the shower. "Is something the matter?"

Mitch hurried over to him, grabbing his arm. "Alpha, Alex is freaking me out."

Alex took a few steps forward, a few inches away from Scott now. "You did it. I mean... You actually did it."

Scott clued in much quicker than Mitch did, as he took both of their hands and pulled them into his room.

Mitch was honestly shocked, but didn't say anything.
