"Did you have to kill him?" Harry typed, staring directly at Zayn. "Did you?"
"Eh."
Harry hit a key particularly hard, "Zayn, I am stressed. Every time we come to Iceland you disappear to that omega. Now I must send a letter saying that my second in command killed a solider -the reason? I must make up a plausible lie."
"Rape is not plausible enough? He would have hurt him, and I stopped him."
"Zayn, please." Harry rubbed his temples, "I understand. I know he was wrong, he deserved death but not by you. He was never supposed to be around the battalion. He came because he was looking for you. Does it excuse it? No. But he is safer away from our mindless alphas. -I do not care about this omega. I see him as every other omega that my battalion sleeps with. You have not seen an omega in a while, and you cannot control yourself." Zayn raised a brow. "But I need you here. Your job is more important than that omega. You do an amazing job when you are here -maybe even better than I. But I need you here, psychically and mentally."
Zayn bowed his head, "I am sorry, sir." He chewed his lip, "I did not mean for this -but -they touched him. I said not to -I told everyone not to touch him. I was angry -I saw red."
"I do not care what you have seen, saw or will see." Harry went back to typing, "control your temper and keep him away from the camp grounds. This would not have happened if you would have." Harry shook his head, "there are plenty of hotels in Iceland."
Zayn stepped back, "are you telling me that I may take him to a hotel and explore Iceland -although I should be working?"
The leader looked up slowly, eyes dark, "leave."
Zayn grinned wide, "see you tomorrow."

"Liam!" Zayn called, looking around the woods. Liam was not in his usual hole-in-a-tree. "Omega! I am back!" He pouted, turning back towards the tree.
"Alpha?"
Zayn spun around, smiling, "Liam."
Liam approached him slowly, tugging on one of Zayn's heavy shirts he had left with him. "What are you doing here?"
Zayn came closer, upset, "why? Were you with someone?"
Liam cut his eyes, "what? No." He walked past the alpha, "honestly."
"Hey," He grabbed Liam's arm, "what is wrong? Why are you upset?"
"I -I am not upset."
Zayn sniffed him quickly, "where were you? What is that smell?"
Liam blushed, looking away, "I -got a job."
Zayn's eyes grew, "a job?" He smiled slowly, picking the omega up. "A job! Truly?"
"Yes!" Liam laughed, arms thrown around the alpha's neck as he swung them in circles. He dug his face into Zayn's scent gland, humming, "a real job..."
"Where? What -what will you be doing?" He started walking, skip in his step, towards Liam's tree. "Is it dangerous? Is it far?"
"No and no." Liam squeezed his thighs around the strong alpha's waist, "I will be able to walk there with no worry." He whined when Zayn finally approached the tree. "It is nothing special. I will wash dishes."
