Because You're Mine (COMPLETED)

Chapter Eleven: Avi

Ugh, why is it so bright?

Last night was wild. Kevin and I went out for my birthday. 24. God I'm old.

It kinda started weird though. We were at Wal-Mart getting some stuff we needed for the house when I smelled something like someone was in heat. It didn't smell like a female though. It was sweeter. A male omega?

No. I'm just imagining things. Male omegas are a myth.

I called my sister, Esther. And told her about what we were doing for my birthday, which wasn't much. We went out for a drink and I think I kissed someone. But I have no idea.

I get up and go down stairs to make some food. Kevin isn't around. He's at school. Med school, or at least the beta version. Since betas are naturally smarter than humans, they take less time in school. He graduates next month.

Luckily Kevin made food. He knows I'm not a good cook in the mornings. Bless his soul. I grab so apple juice from the fridge and take a huge gulp. Boy was it cold. Im definitely awake now.

I eat and head back upstairs to shower. After that I get dressed and grab my keys. I don't have anywhere to go I just want to drive around. I love driving. In a couple of days me and Kevin are gonna go down to the agency and see if there are any loose ranks that need a pack. Since its only the two of us, it's sorta lonely. Especially when one of you is at school for 8 hours a day.

I want another alpha. But most alphas have their own packs and the ones don't haven't left their parents yet. More so I want an omega. Hopefully one that will want to settle down and have a family. Not right away of course but in a couple of years.

I'm not picky and will accept whoever needs it.

I really want a full pack, which is five. Just three more members and we'll be complete.

As I'm driving I see a group of three walking down the street. I don't stop or say anything though because they seem fine...well except for the tall one is carrying one of the small ones.

I don't think much about it so I just keep driving. I drive around the block and go visit my sister, Esther. Shes a doctor at St. Avriel.

Yeah yeah I know. I almost died when I was born. My parents didn't name me until they knew I was going to live and they named me after the place that saved me: Avriel. Avi for short.

I walk in and ask he receptionist where I could find my sister.

"Shes with a patient right now but I'll page her."

"Thank you so much" I say with a smile in my face. I go sit down and pull out my phone. I text kevin asking him what he wants for lunch and then I play angry birds until my sister comes out.

"Avi!" She smiled

"Hey Es. What you up too?" I ask.

"Well I had a patient yesterday that I'm sure was being abused by his father. But he refused to tell me the truth. He was an alpha to. Shit. I hope he's okay, Avi. He's just a kid, not even 21 yet. He's not safe there. I don't know what to do. Last year I had a girl who was 18 and miscarried. Said she fell on her stomach. But the internal scarring and bruises said otherwise. She was an omega. I am powerless if these kids don't tell me the truth. The counsel wont listen if I don't have evidence."

She started crying. She sees so many things like that in a day and it breaks my heart to hear them.

"Maybe they find a way out. Run away or something. Kinds are resilient. As you know."

"Yeah but it still hurts. Miscarrying at 18? I couldn't do it. Abusive father? No better." Her pager went off. "I've gotta go." She gave me a hug, said bye, and ran in the other direction.

My phone beeped. It was Kevin.

K: McDonald's?

Me: sure. Nuggets?

K: with fries?

Me: yes kev with fries :)

K: THANK YOU!!

Me: you're welcome Kev.

I go to my car and drive over to McDonalds. I get Kevin's food and drive over to his school. I text him when I get to the quad and he walks out a few minutes later.

"You good A?" Kevin asks.

"Yeah just thinking. Esthers been having some trouble dealing with things at the hospital. Yesterday a boy came in. An alpha. Shes sure he's being abused at home. Shes stressing. But shes tough so she get through it."

"Yeah she will. You Kaplans are practically invincible!" Kevin starts laughing.

We hang out until Kevin has to go back to class and I walk to my car. I think about the three that i saw on the street and now that I think about it I should've stopped. The short blond was crying and the tall blond was in alpha mode. Was the small one the one in heat? The one that I smelled at the store? It would make sense.

I hope they're okay and they got to where ever they were going safely.

I clear my mind and I drive home. I think I need a nap.
