The Stray Omega

Three Legs Instead of One

Mitch snagged onto the back of Quinn's neck and carried her over to the couch, hopping up to where the blond wolf was sleeping comfortably with the other two pups sleeping against him. He put down Quinn and placed his paw on her back to keep her from moving then nudged Scott's snout with his own.

The blond jumped and looked up at Mitch, leaning forward to lick his nose. He noticed Quinn under Mitch's foot and grabbed her by the back of her neck as well, setting her under his head then laying back down. Quinn barked softly before getting comfortable under her dad's head and sleeping.

Mitch licked Scott's ears and hopped off the couch, running to the dining room where Avi was cleaning the table. He snagged onto his pant leg and tugged it a bit before sitting down.

Avi looked down. "What is, Mitch?" Avi set down the plates he had in his hands and followed Mitch to the living room. The brown wolf jumped onto the couch and cuddled up next to Scott and the pups. Avi's heart swelled up at the sight and he snatched his phone from his back pocket to snap a few pictures.

When Mitch woke up from his nap, he yawned and stretched out his limps, barking in surprise when he rolled off the couch. He landed on his paws and looked around cautiously.

He looked across the living room and saw Scott carrying what looked like to be Cody towards the guest room. The blond stopped walking and got his balance back before continuing to hop into the room.

Mitch brought his paws up to the couch and sniffed around the cushions, all the pups gone. He hurried to follow Scott and found the blond walking around the pups, making sure they didn't try to get off the bed before getting back on the floor.

The large wolf jumped when he saw Mitch then hurried forward, licking his face and ears. Mitch growled and snapped at Scott then swatted at him with his paw.

The blond wolf growled back then ran out of the room, Mitch seeing a bright light peeking through the crack of the door. He walked out of the room, doing his best to shut the door behind him before shifting back. He stood up with Scott's help then helped him over to the couch. 

"What's wrong? Woke up on the wrong side of the couch?" Scott teased. 

"I fell off the couch and you know I don't like you walking by yourself. Especially if you're carrying the pups." Mitch said, setting Scott down carefully and kissing his cheek. 

"I'm fine. It's much easier to walk in wolf form than it is normally. I have three legs instead of one."

"It is cute to see you hopping around though." Scott grinned and grabbed Mitch's waist to pull him onto his lap. He then turned, pushing Mitch onto the couch and kissing the underside of his chin. 

"Don't call me cute," Scott growled lowly, biting at one of the many sweet spots on Mitch's neck then turned over to lay on top of him. Mitch smiled, wrapping his arms around Scott's neck to keep him close. "Wanna take another nap? I'll make sure you don't fall off the couch this time." 

Mitch rolled his eyes and got comfortable underneath his Alpha. "Sounds good. It'll be nice to have a bit of us time, especially after today. I love napping together." Scott smiled and kissed Mitch's neck, then tucked his head into a certain area where he was comfortable enough to breathe evenly.

"Good luck trying to get them not to shift. They're going to be wanting to as much as possible, only cause it's easier to get around, plus they've got more energy in wolf form." 

"Any plus sides to this?" Scott asked, hopping out of the way when Mitch walked out of the house with the three seated stroller. 

"Only that they'll tire out faster. Just keep your doors locked, keep an eye on them and you'll be alright." Kevin patted Scott's shoulder and gave him an encouraging look. "And we'll be free next weekend, just a heads up." He winked. 

Scott blushed and shook his head before turning and following Mitch to the Uber. 

"Alpha, when are you going to let me learn how to drive? It's not that hard." Mitch whined when he closed the trunk. "Nicole can drive sometimes." 

"Sometimes," Scott replied. "Plus, Austin gave her her training and helped her." 

"You can teach me! You don't have to drive to teach me." 

Scott sighed and opened the door, letting Mitch inside the Uber first. "I think I'm just worried. L.A is a dangerous town to drive in. How about when we move farther out of town?" 

"So you do want to move into a different house?" Mitch grinned, scooting closer to Scott after he got inside the Uber. He then turned around momentarily to make sure the babies were comfortable and properly strapped in the provided car seats. 

"I've been thinking about it. Plus, I've been looking for the past few weeks." 

Scott felt Mitch cuddle up next to him and he felt his heart flutter. He felt his phone vibrate and jumped, fishing out his phone and glancing down at it. His heart jumped to his stomach when he saw the email.
