Eren's P.O.V
My mate is responsible for my mothers death? No. He can't be. As soon as I heard Levi's pack name, my heart shattered into a million pieces. The tears began to stream again and I felt like my whole world was falling apart. I can't be around him right now. Alpha hurt me. My wolf wasn't helping, I was convinced Levi just wanted to hurt me and that he was a bad person.

Before he could say anything I quickly made my way to the cabin door and returned to the real world. Mikasa was perched up against a tree. She caught one glance of me crying and came rushing over embracing me in a tight hug. "He killed my mum " I cried out, my heart still shattering as I spoke. "That fucking bastard" mikasa growled. She let go of me and was about to enter the cabin when my raven haired mate appeared. He stared at me, and I stared back into his steel grey eyes.

"Eren. I'm sorry. I'm not who you think I am. My pack killed your mother, not me. I wasn't alpha at the time. I was just a little boy." He spoke, keeping his usual flat tone, with a hint of guilt. I could easily challenge his position as alpha, as my true form was stronger than any alpha who has ever lived on this earth.

"Levi. That doesn't change anything you bastard. You basically killed his mother!!!" Mikasa growled from beside me.

The alpha's eyes narrowed, and I could smell his anger, which he obviously wanted me to as the scent was so strong. His anger terrified me enough for me to defend him. "No mikasa. It's okay. He explained. It wasn't his fault, it was whoever was alpha at that time. Levi, I just need some time alone please, if that's okay?" I spoke, whilst looking into his eyes. Alpha isn't bad. Alpha forgiven. My wolf is such a pain in the ass.

Levi's P.O.V
"No mikasa. It's okay. He explained. It wasn't his fault, it was whoever was alpha at that time. Levi, I just need some time alone please, if that's okay?"

"Of course Eren. Anything for my mate." I gave a half smile, trying to show I was sorry and I did care for him. He looked up at me, I could see the sadness in his emerald eyes. Something about him made me want to be nice. But I couldn't ruin my reputation. I was so lost in thought I didn't realise that Eren and mikasa had left. I began to wonder back the office for my next meeting.

-two hours later-

Levi P.O.V
"LEEEVIIII!!!"
For fuck sake. Shitty glasses is the last person I want to see right now. "What do you want, shitty glasses?" "Well mr moody I want to know what it was like meeting your mate!!!! I told you that you'd meet him soon. Always trust my research!" She said in the cockiest voice possible. "Things are fine. He's just trying to get his head around it. Now leave me alone Hanji"

"ughhh fine whatever Levi. You're so boring!" She shouted as she left my office, leaving me in peace.

I lied. Things aren't fine. They're far from fine. They're terrible. I just want to hug my omega and comfort him because I know he's in pain. And knowing my father killed Eren's mother makes things ten times worse. I just want to apologise until he forgives me and so I can get rid of this stupid guilt I've been feeling.

Mikasa's P.O.V
"Eren, you'll have to talk to him eventually. You can't avoid your mate forever. That's not how this works." I said calmly, trying not to upset him anymore.

"I know mikasa, but I'm just trying to get my head around the fact that Levi is my mate and that I've even found my mate in the first place. I don't know what to do. And you can't really help because you still haven't found your mate yet, so you don't know what I'm feeling."

I could practically hear the sadness in Eren's voice. I paused for a moment, and thought about what he said.

"I know Eren, I agree. I'm sorry. But I know who can help!" I said with a smile on my face.

"Who?"

"Armin!"

Eren's P.O.V
"Armin!!!!!" I saw my little coconut best friend walking down the hallway to join my lounging room. It was basically just a room with pastel blue walls and a few sofas, since I'm lazy.

"Hey Eren. Mikasa explained what happened. So Levi Ackerman huh? My mate Erwin smith works for Levi. I can get him to talk to Levi if you want, I'm sure he wouldn't mind." He explained in a calm voice, while taking a seat on the sofa opposite to me.

"I don't know Armin. I think Levi's dangerous, and a bad person. There's no point in Erwin talking to him, because whatever happens Levi's my true mate, and I'm not the kind of person to abandon someone I'm meant to be with."

There was a slight sense of sadness in my voice, but most of all I was just confused and unsure of what to do. Armin sighed, and took a moment to think about what to say next. "Eren, lets go back to Ackerman Official. You can talk to Levi and try to tell him how you're feeling. It's better to be honest now than get caught up in a group of hidden secrets."

Hidden secrets.

I have plenty of them. That I've been warned not to tell. Otherwise bad things could happen. I was told I could only tell Levi, unless he already knew. What's so special about Levi? Why is he the only one I can tell about my true form?

~one hour later~

Levi's P.O.V
Knock knock knock.
"Shit" I muttered as I heard the knock at the door. I pushed my paperwork aside. "Come in" I shouted in my normal flat tone. The door opened slightly and I was able to tell who it was by the sweet scent that overwhelmed my body.

"Eren. You can come in, I won't hurt you"

"sorry Levi, I just thought you wouldn't want to see me" my brunette said as he entered my office slowly and took a seat opposite me.

"I'll never not want to see you Eren. You're gorgeous and you're cute." I smirked as his face went bright red and he looked at the ground. "You won't get out of this conversation by flattering me, Alpha." The boy teased as he looked up and made eye contract with me. I let out a playful growl before telling him I was sorry about a hundred times. "It's okay Levi, I know it's not your fault. I could never be mad at you."
