The Omegas Call

Twenty-eight

There's a tug on Andy's belt loop that makes the omega stop and look over his shoulder. He relaxes and smiles when he sees it's James, and fully turns his body towards the alpha.

"This is a nice surprise." Andy says as he adjusts his books in his arms. It was the last class of the day and he had a research project to do. So, like any smart student, he went to the school's library for books.

He didn't expect to see James in here, though.

"What do you mean?" The alpha leans a bit on the near by shelf, subconsciously rubbing a knuckle over the nearest book's spine.

"I haven't seen or talked to you all day. It was a bit of a drag on me."

"You had Max." James mumbles and he could tell his statement was stupid when Andy's eyebrow shot up.

"He's been a bit clingy, yeah." The omega says slowly. "I still like having you around, though. This is a polygamous relationship, is it not?"

"It is." James says with a nod.

"Then why did it feel monogamous today?" Andy now shifts all his weight onto one leg, and fuck James in the ass if he didn't think about taking the minx right then and there.

"Because I wasn't there..."

"And why not?" Andy says in a condescending manner. The alpha couldn't help but blush. Andy has never been this confident before and he wanted to knot him so badly.

"I- uh..."

"You know, this courting wont work if you don't try. I don't want Max by himself, as charming as he is. I agreed to this because I had two alphas willing to mate me, and the court will be over if I don't have my way." Andy steps closer to him, standing on his tip-toes to kiss James' chin. "I want you too, Alpha."

And screw it is exactly what went through James' head when that sentence rolled off Andy's tongue.

"Harry!" Louis shouts as he climbs the basement stairs and goes into the kitchen, confused and fuming. "If you took another pocket knife to slash that ticket officer's tires , I swear to God!"

"What?" The alpha's eyes widen and he sucks his thumb clean of peanut butter. He was making himself a PB&J.

"I told you that if you wanted that woman handled, I would do it so why are you trying to murder her still-"

"Lou, baby, I don't know what the hell you're on about."

"One of the pocket knives from downstairs is missing." The omega huffs. "I was cleaning them and saw my least favorite one is gone."

"One of the kids probably have it." Harry brushes off. "Why do you have it if it's your least favorite?"

"Because it's William's favorite."

Sophia shakes her head as she grabs the blade, tossing it at the mark on the fence. Lily huffs, crossing her arms with a pout.

"You'll learn, Lil." Sophia says as she goes to get the weapon. "It doesn't happen in one day."

"It's frustrating." The omega grumbles and her mate kisses her cheek before placing the small knife in her hand.

"You aren't holding it the way I showed you, and your whole arm is tense. If you relax it, especially your wrist, you won't have such bad aim." The beta advised softly. She didn't want to upset Lily, and make her feel as if she could never learn.

"How long did it take you to learn everything you know?" Lily mumbles as she looks at the knife in her hand. She stares at the sharp edge, and is a bit taken aback by how spotless it looks. It was well taken care of.
