Third Person POV

Mitch hung up the phone and shook his head, what was he going to do now?

After thinking it over for about an hour he went to the only person that he could think of, Esther.

He knocked on the door to her apartment and waited...and waited...and just kept waiting.

"Damnit Esther open the door!" He was going to knock again before the door swung open revealing a very ticked off Esther in sweat pants and a shirt.

"What do you want Mitch?" She was not having any of Mitch's bull, especially after the week she's had.

He smiled big. "Heeeeey Esther, Essie, bestie, best friend, girl that I love oh so much!" He pushed himself past her and stood in the middle of the room just staring at her.

Esther, being Mitch's friend for so long, always knows when he's hiding something or wants something, mostly because he makes it so obvious.

"Cut to the chase Mitch, what do you want?."

"Whaaaaaaat?" He practically screeched and she rolled her eyes. "Want something? Me? Can't a BEST friend visit their BEST friend sometime?" He said, still smiling wide as if nothing had changed.

"Not when they only come over when asking for favours or when in trouble."

Mitch looked around the room still trying to look innocent before giving up the facade, she was always able to see through him.

"Okay so you know how I bought an omega?...And then I bought another one?"

"You did wha-"

"Okay so apparently for me to be able to adopt two omegas," he coughed and looked at the floor," Ineedapacksocanyoujoinmypackprettyplease?"

"Speak up, speak clear, look at me." She crossed her arms and shifted her weight to one side.

Mitch heard the tone in her voice, he stood up and looked her straight in the eyes.
"Why did you just speak to me as if I was an omega?"

"Because you're acting like an omega, try again."

Now normally he would not let her get away with this, but since he needed a favour he swallowed his pride and spoke again.

"Since I want both omegas I need a pack, will you join my pack?"

They stared at each other, no one saying anything.

"He-" he didn't even get the word "hello" out when she started laughing.

"That's hilarious Mitch, really funny! You think I would join your-" but she couldn't finish the sentence and kept laughing.

Mitch being shocked at her reaction and annoyed that she didn't take him seriously, he grabbed her shoulders making her laughing cease and her attention on him.

"I'm serious."

And again, silence...

"How dumb do you think I am to join a pack with you! If I'm in a pack, and I will be, I'll be the pack leader, not some second in command or anything like that. How dare you even ask me that! As if I'm beneath you or something! I'm older than you!" She paced around the room literally screaming at him.

Mitch was just rolling his eyes over and over again, Esther had anger issues that she needed to work on but she never accepted help, this is an everyday occurrence to him.

"Esther!" He finally yelled out of frustration which successfully got her attention.

"Will you please, please just do this one thing for me. I need to find someone, anyone to be in a pack with me, I need those omegas." Mitch looked at her straight in the eyes as to say "I'm. Serious."

Esther sighed and crossed her arms, shifting her weight onto her left side.

"Why do you care about those omegas anyways, what can't you just get one."

"Because." The sat down on the couch, "They're each other's family, they're special, I can't split them up."

There was another long pause of silence until Esther spoke again, this time much calmer.

"Alright, I'll join your little pack, but you're going to need more than just two alphas and two omegas, you need a beta as well."

Mitch eyes widened, twinkling with excitement, he couldn't believe she said yes.

His smile faltered a when his brain processed what she said "Well where can I find a beta?"

"Don't worry," she pulled out her phone and quickly dialled a number. "I think I know a person."

Through the phone he could hear a male voice answer.

"This is Matthew Sallee, assistant of Dr. Olusola, speaking. How may I help you?"
