FOREVER MY ALPHA

Chapter 4 - Alpha Status

Well, Harry definitely had some explaining to do considering Louis had absolutely no idea how it was possible that the Alpha was this rich. This was simply filthy rich and Louis looked around in awe as he slowly walked over to join Harry on the couch.

Harry merely let out a chuckle before he placed his glass of wine on the coffee table. "I'm going to let you ask me questions and we'll go from there, how does that sound?" He suggested and Louis only nodded in response.

"How come you're this rich?" Louis wondered as he still eyed everything in the room, not being put the pieces together. Harry, however, was more than happy to answer that question. "Well, you weren't supposed to know all these things, but considering recent events... Ahem, trailing off," Harry began, running a hand through his hair as he watched Louis finally give him all of his undivided attention.

"As you may of may not know, my surname is Styles, son of Des Styles," the Alpha continued and he watched Louis' eyes widen in realization as he took in every word that Harry was saying. "Meaning I'm from the original bloodline of the Crescent wolves, no matter." He finalized for a moment to grab a little bruschetta a servant had carried in.

"So, that's sort of the reason why I live the way I do, my parents are on holiday, if you were wondering," he spoke with a hint of a smile on his lips and Louis smiled too, looking at the Alpha with a glisten in his eyes. "But... Why're you attending my school then? Aren't you like, thirty?" Louis wondered and Harry barked out a laugh.

He ran a hand across his face as he pointed at the young Omega. "Good one, but I've actually turned twenty-five this year, not thirty." He answered, still laughing a little bit at Louis' comment. It was difficult not to be fond of the Omega, he was very quick-witted and intelligent, observant and his curiosity was nearly endearing to Harry.

Though, the Alpha knew which question was coming next and he watched as Louis took another sip of his glass of wine. "I do have a job and that job, right now, is keeping an eye on you with the whole claim thing," Harry continued, having the feathery haired boy blush just a bit. "I was fine with Liam and Niall, you know, why the extra layer of protection?"

"Because the British intelligence agency or well, MI5 had ordered me to. You weren't supposed to be in the know of all of this, but I'm sure they'll understand." Harry replied, having Louis nod in understanding. The pair of them sat in silence for a moment, looking at the cracking fireplace which the servants had ignited.

Then, Harry turned his head to look at Louis and he smiled in the slightest. "You needn't worry here, Lou, this place is like a fortress, people can't just get in and out whenever they please. The fence is electric wired and can only be opened by phoning Jack and proving identity or a fingerprint detection." He added, having Louis settle himself a little bit more confortably.

"Maybe we should all come and live here, all of our families, then we'll really be safe." Louis muttered and he sighed, tracint the edge of his wine glass with his index finger. Harry canted his head to the side before pursing his lips in thought and Louis looked at him before having his eyes widen.

"Harry, I was kidding, I know that that's impossible," Louis said quickly and Harry shook his head. "No, the mansion it's big enough, I'm just thinking whether or not that'd be beneficial... We don't need Zayn wrecking the town... We need to get you out of that claim, Louis." Harry responded as he ran his hand across the couch.

Louis was eying Harry in the slightest as the Alpha remained in thought, admiring the bone structure in his face and he couldn't comprehend why he had't really noticed before how attractive Harry was. It could also be the fact that Louis felt the little Omega in him trying to burst out because the Styles genes were nearly just as rare and desired as an Omega himself was, he was actually still surprised that there was a descendant still alive.

Descendants. This brought Louis to a new question he'd love to ask Harry. "Say," the Omega began and Harry merely hummed in response, still thinking about options of bringing some of the family members here into the mansion for their protection.

"Don't you have a sister, or something?" Louis questioned, crossing his legs on the couch and directly facing the Alpha. "I do, actually. Gemma, she's a Gamma, never presented herself to be either Alpha or Omega, as Betas have never occurred in our bloodline." Harry responded and Louis hummed.

Nevertheless, that did make Harry think of something. "Listen, I think how we can provide this extra layer of protection whilst we try and get you out of that tedious claim. I'll phone my father first thing in the morning as they're returning on Friday. I'm sure he can give us some advice."

That actually made perfect sense. Des had more life experience than Harry and thus he would be a valuable asset in order to help Louis. "That sounds perfect," Louis replied, noddig in agreement as he did so. "But what're we gonna do the whole week? I mean... I'm obviously not going to school."

Harry chuckled in response, giving a small shake of the head before he took a sip of his wine. "Valid point, how do you enjoy some chit chat and come with me on some errands tomorrow?" He suggested, making the Omega's eyes widen. "Can I choose the car we'll be taking tomorrow?" He questioned, having the Alpha roll his eyes with a fond smile.

"Naturally, since you're my guest, that would be fitting." Harry replied. "Say, Louis," he added shortly after, with the Omega turning his head to look at him again after he'd taken a sip of his wine. "How come you and Liam have never seen one another as an opportunity?"

There it was. The inevitable question that everyone had already asked him. Louis had often replied to this question, though considering recent events... Liam wouldn't be such a bad match for him after all. "I don't really know... Most of the time I've always seen him as a big brother, y'know? He's always been my best friend," he started, drawing his lip in between his teeth as he pondered. "But seeing recent events, Liam wouldn't be such a bad choice. I mean our parents get along great, we know each other so well... But I think I don't want something comfortable, I want something exciting and adventurous. If that makes sense?"

Harry hunmed, intently listening to what Louis had to say. Normally, if it were about two hundred years ago with Omegas outnumbering the Alphas, the roles would have been very different. Omegas just didn't have all that much to say in those days with what they expected from their Alpha. But now... With Omegas nearly extinct, it's all too important that the choice of Alpha has to be perfect.

"Have you ever considered anyone? Besides Liam?" Harry continued, making the young Omega purse his lips. "Not really, no... I mean all of the Alphas at my school are nitwits, that's for sure," Louis joked, having the Alpha chuckle and take another sip of his wine. "But other than that... If Zayn weren't such a dickhead, I wouldn't have hesitated but... He also stinks of cigarettes."

Now that made Harry bark out a laugh, he shook his head whilst looking at the other. "You're something, Louis." He idly voiced, having Louis' cheeks turn a bright red.

"It's getting pretty late," Louis changed topic, looking at the grand antique clock standing tall in the corner of the sitting area. "I could ask someone to show you to your room, if you'd like?" Harry suggested, having the small Omega shake his head.

"No, no! It's not like we have school in the morning..." He responded with a cheeky smile creeping onto his lips. "That's true, but you still need a good night's sleep, Louis. And we will be running some errands tomorrow. Don't forget."

Ah yes, Louis was curious about what kind of errands Harry needed to go for considering he basically had an army of people to do it all for him. "Then I guess now is as good a time as any to go to bed." The Omega sounded, slowly getting up from the couch.

"Would you take me?" Louis questioned the other quietly. "Would I take you?" Harry retorted with a raise of his brow. "I would, but I want to leave you a choice, Louis. I'm not like Zayn."

The Omega giggled and Harry frowned. "To my bedroom, silly bean," Louis explained between his laughs and the Alpha's eyes widened. "But good to know, Hazza!"

"Hazza?" Harry repeated, having Louis shrug his shoulders. "Just a nickname I came up with, suits you." He replied before following the servant who was beckoning for Louis to follow him to his assigned room.
