Alpha and Omega

"Punishments?" Mitch whispers, nobody hearing except Kirstie. She gently tells Lucy to go with Avi before grabbing Mitch's hand and taking him with her to her room after telling the Alphas.

"We'll be okay. Scott isn't like Carson, I promise. He will be stricter, he was pretty strict when I first got here. But one thing he always did was making sure I was okay with the punishments he gave me."

"What?"

"He would tell me what he felt was best fit and ask if I was comfortable with that. If not, I'd offer something and we'd discuss what would work. You'll be okay, it's just Scott."

"It's just Scott." Mitch repeats quietly.

"The worst punishment was seriously just, like 30 hits with his hand. What I did was way worse and I honestly told him I deserved a worse punishment."

"But he has to be stricter now."

"No, no. He has to be stricter than he is right now, which means he'll most likely go back to his old ways."

"Okay.."

"You alright?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Good. And you know Scott would never hurt you."

"I know, thank you."

"I love you, Boo."

Mitch smiles, "I love you too, Kitty." They go back out and sit on the couch again, which is when Scott puts Peyton in her small chair with some toys, stands up, and faces all of them.

"You heard what Rob said, I need to start being stricter. I was for a while and I lost it, but we're going to bring it back."

"Alpha?"

"Yes, baby?"

"What if he calls the counsel?"

"Let me worry about that, okay?"

"But, Sir, I just want to be prepared."

"You can prepare by not worrying about it."

"I- Okay."

"Things are going to be different around here, rules will be enforced more, punishments will be back along with chores. Avi, I expect you to be stricter as well."

"W-What are the rules, Sir?" Mitch knows one; always call Alphas by their title unless told otherwise.

"Don't stutter, love. No interrupting, no lying, do not disobey, never hide anything from an Alpha if it's going to hurt somebody. You're allowed to keep some things to yourself as long as it's safe to do so. No swearing unless given permission, always refer to Alphas by their preferred titles, no alcohol unless given permission, no sneaking out, use verbal answers, and finally, always listen to your Alpha's orders."

"Alpha, what if my Alpha tells me to do something but you tell me to do the opposite? You're the lead but he's my mate." Kirstie asks Scott.

"We'll jump that bridge when we get to it."

Mitch giggles, "That's not the saying, Alpha." Scott smiles and laughs.

"What?"

"I think you mean we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."

"Okay, smarty pants." Mitch smiles and Scott continues, "Any other questions?"

"Why do we have to follow this?" Lucy asks.

"The counsel won't be happy with me if we don't and I can't let that happen. I don't want to do this, you all know that I wish we were all treated as equals."

"We know you don't want this, Sir."

"And to make it as fair as we can, Omegas and Betas will make rules for us Alphas. You guys can do that while I talk to Avi." Avi gets up and goes to the kitchen with Scott.

"You know Kirstie's limits, I trust you with that and to give punishments to her as you and her see fit. You know what I do, do that as well."

"Of course. Betas aren't punished, right?"

"Not usually, no. But since Lucy is your daughter, you will choose her punishments as your daughter until you feel she deserves them as a Beta rather than a child. Does that make sense? Like, when Peyton is older, she'll be punished as my child, not as a fellow Alpha until she's out of school."

"I get it now, okay. I don't have to follow Omega rules, right? Like I get that you're my superior but.."

"No, you just follow the Alpha rules they give us."

"Anything else?"

"Not that I can think of, let's see what they thought of." They go out to the living room to see two pieces of paper: Omega Rules, which is written in blue, while the other is written in red and has the words Alpha Rules at the top.

"So, Alphas, we put the rules for us on the Omega paper and the other is for you." Kirstie explains.

"What are the rules?"

Mitch stands up with the paper, "No doing punishments we're not comfortable with, discuss our punishments before giving them to us to confirm it's okay. No pulling rank during fights. Talk to your partner like you would if you were equals and Omegas will be allowed to say what we want as long as it is still respectful, only if the Alphas do the same. And lastly, listen to your Omegas. If we say we have a good reason for breaking a rule, hear us out before doing something."

"That's fair, I'm proud of you guys. We can hang those on the fridge, alright?"

"Thank you." Mitch quickly hangs them on the fridge before coming back and hugging Scott, seeing as everyone else is now doing their own thing.

"What's this?"

"Things are about to be a lot different and I'm not sure I'm ready."

"Why not?" Mitch just shrugs and Scott pulls away, "Try again."

"I'm sorry, Sir. I just... I don't want to be taken away from you."

"You won't be, want to know why?"

"Why?"

"Because you two are the best Omegas anyone has ever seen. We'll start out easy until you get the hang of things."

"Alpha, I have another rule but I didn't want to write it."

"I won't ever call you Mitchell, Angel. No matter how angry I get, I will never pull that. Because that's not your name, is it?"

Mitch smiles, "No, Sir. Not anymore."
