Because You're Mine (COMPLETED)

Chapter 85: Avi

Two months later and the only thing that's changed is the baby.

Mitch still won't talk about the kidnapping, though everyone hears him screaming most nights, and the look in his eyes during the day.

Kirstie, or rather, Serenity is well, Serenity. Still don't know what to do about that. All of the research I've done says that she'll come back when shes ready, but it's been a while. Is Kirstie really that...frightened?

Kevin's been kinda sneaky lately. He's either in his room or he's somewhere out and about. Of course he always pops back up if one of us need him, though its mostly the baby because Mitch is paranoid and is always wanting a check up if she hiccups. Not saying I don't get it though.

Scott is...well, Scott. After we dropped jeremy off at the station, Scott looked like weight was both lifted off and dropped onto the alpha. I don't think he knows what to do with himself and just compartmentalized everything and locked it away.

Because that's always healthy.

The whole sibling situation hasn't been really dealt with. Serenity, I guess knew, which scott explained to me that our wolf parts know its own blood. Blood calls to blood, or something like that. That's why they were so drawn to each other and why their bond it so strong. If they weren't siblings, it wouldn't be as strong. But since they are, and since they're so close, the bond can get very painful.

Me? I'm great. Between one paranoid omega, a weird, mental wolf switch thing with the other, an unstable alpha, and an AWOL beta, oh and lets not forget the 2 and a half month old female alpha, I'm just perfect.

Speaking of the baby, she starts crying. Scott went for a run this morning, so he's not here, Kevin left an hour ago, to God knows where, Serenity is...I actually don't know where she is, but I think she's sleeping. Mitch is up there, but even after several minutes, Addalin is still screaming.

I finally give up on trying to block it out, drop what I was doing and go up to Mitch's room. I open the door and I see him just laying there is his bed. The hell? He's normally the first person up to get her. I go over to Addalin and pick her up and figure out that she needs a change. While I'm doing that, I hear Mitch mumble something. I finish with Addalin and hold her against me as I walk over to Mitch. Now that I look at him I see that he's crying.

"Mitch?" I say softly. He only shakes his head. He doesn't open his eyes, doesn't say anything, doesn't move, just lightly shakes his head. I sigh. "Want your baby?" I try. He just shakes his head again. I hear a sob escape as he pulls the blanket over his head. Oh, boy. Its gonna be a long day.

I rub his shoulder a little before I stand and go to Serenity's room. She's always up early. How? I have no clue. She gratefully takes the baby and I head back to Mitch, who has turned to his other side, away from me. I sit beside him and take the blanket off his face, only to see that he'd pulled the hood up from the hoodie he wore to bed.

I rub his back. "Mitch, talk to me." He's shaking terribly. I sniff and I smell so many thing that I don't know what it is coming off of him.

I text Kevin and Scott, telling them I needed them. Mitch had been acting different the last few days, but today is like He's a completely different person. He's barely eaten. He doesn't sleep even though Addalin has been sleeping through the night, he never wants to do anything, and he snaps at almost everybody, followed by him closing himself off. But this is the first time I've seen him not get out of bed to pick up his baby.

I pull the blanket back to reveal him digging his nails into his hands, giving him little bloody crescent moons on his palms. I gently grab his hands and do my best to open them before he starts fighting me, but its short-lived, as he is so tired.
