They are all quiet in the car during the journey that Marcel drives home, Harry seated next to him and Edward in the back, a sleeping Louis in his arms. Usually Edward is the one who drives, but the moment Harry tried to take Louis from Edward, he had whimpered and clutched tighter on the Alpha's shirt, curling his body into a ball and burrowing his face farther into the crevice of Edward's neck.

That left them with no choice so Edward had silently got into the back seat and they were on their way.

The journey is not for too long, though it takes more than a half hour since their house is quite far from town. It's all because of Edward who treasures privacy like no other. Harry and Marcel are always so fond of their brother anyway, so none of them cares as long as Edward is happy.

Despite the short journey, it feels like they are travelling longer because of the tensed silence filling the car. It gets them slightly suffocating but none makes the move to say anything.

Louis doesn't loosen his hold on Edward, still clutching the front of his shirt while he sleeps.

When they approach the tall, elegant gate of their compound, all of them silently release a breath. Marcel doesn't waste any time to drive past the entrance and park in their garage.

Harry has already called for Liam the moment they started driving so it is no surprise to see their friend in the living room the moment they walk in.

Liam takes one look at the triplet and quickly jumps onto his feet the moment he notices the Omega in Edward's arms.

"Bring him to the room." The brown eyed Alpha says, not hesitating and spinning on his heels before he is rushing away. He barely spares a backward glance since he knows the triplets won't waste a bit before they're following him.

Once in the room, Liam flips the light switch on and quickly grabs a stethoscope on the counter. Edward quickly but gently places Louis down on the bed, retracting his arms after the Omega is lying down and moving to take a step back. The moment his body warmth leaves Louis, the Omega flinches in his sleep and clings to Edward.

"No." The plead he releases in his sleep sounds so broken yet Edward works to pry off Louis' fingers on his shirt.

"Edward, you don't have to." Marcel says, placing a hand on his brother's arm. He gets no reply, the oldest triplet ignoring what he said and tugging off Louis' hold on him.

The Omega starts crying when he's lying alone, not even noticing the tears in his sleep.

Harry's heart constricts in his chest and he pushes Marcel to the side, quickly standing by the bed and hushing the sleeping man. "Shh, it's okay. We're here." He whispers soothingly, brushing Louis' hair back.

Louis visibly relaxes the moment Harry touches him and his cries subside into whimpers before he's completely quiet.

Harry stays close to his side and shoots Edward a glare, making his brother wince with the icy stare he's got settled on him.

"Um..." Liam interrupts in a reluctant voice, making a start towards the Omega and looking at the triplets as if he's asking their permission. When Edward gives him a nod, he is by Louis' side in no time, standing opposite Harry and checking his heartbeat. Once done and he's sure that there's nothing serious, he puts his stethoscope away and turns to Marcel while he observes the Omega. "What happened?"

The addressed Alpha straightens, taking a step closer to stand near his brother. A hand rises to fix his glasses before he speaks. "He was attacked, but I don't think they managed to do anything. But, we'd," He spares a glance to Edward who gives him an encouraging nod. "We'd like you to check if there's any major damage. We just want to know if he's fine."

"Okay." Liam tilts his head, holding Louis' hand up. "And his wrists?"

Marcel clears his throat. "Well, Louis sa-said that he didn't like how it was like t-to still feel the Alphas' hold on him, so h-he did that to himself." Once he finishes talking, Marcel turns to stand by Edward's side, seeking comfort in his brother's hold. Edward doesn't hesitate to wrap an arm around Marcel, dropping a kiss on his forehead. He knows it's a little intense for his brother.

Liam seems satisfied with that answer and proceeds to continue checking the Omega. When he's done, he stands straight again and give the Alphas a reassuring smile. "He's fine, mostly. I'll have to treat his wrists and his knees. He probably fell at some point so I should take a look at that. It would also be likely that he would be a little traumatised about the whole situation when he wakes up so I need you three to be a little easy on him. Hmm, I think that sums it up." Liam looks at Harry and Edward warily. "Should I take a look at you both too?" He gestures to the blood soaked shirt clinging to his friends.

"Oh, don't worry, the blood's not ours." Harry shakes his head, grinning.

Liam's face forms that of a look of a mother disapproving of her children's behaviour. "What did you do now?"

"Did you really think we would let those fools get away just like that?" Edward raises his eyebrows, a little offended that Liam would think such lowly of him.

"You shouldn't do such a habit of killing people like that, maybe they would learn to be better had you let them live." Liam murmurs, pulling out some clothes to clean Louis' blood with.

Harry chuckles. "Only you would think that way, Liam."

"Hey, Niall's an Omega, right?" Edward suddenly speaks up.

Marcel gasps. "Edward, you've finally made a beneficial observation for once. I thought you'd never use that brain of yours!"

Louis doesn't even move in his sleep when Harry howls with laughter. Even Liam can't hold back a chuckle.

"Twat." Marcel squeaks when Edward hits the back of his head. "Shut up, idiot. What I meant to say is, Niall should come over tomorrow. If Louis wakes up surrounded by a group of Alphas after just being attacked by two, he would probably go bonkers. Maybe if there's another Omega, it would make him feel a little calmer and safer." Edward explains, his tone still dry and face emotionless.

"That's really thoughtful, Edward." Liam says, smiling until his eyes are merely slits.

"Fuck off." Edward rolls his eyes and makes to exit the room.

Marcel smiles fondly at his leaving brother before turning to Liam again. "So, there's nothing to worry about?"

"Nope." Liam confirms. "I'll just treat his wounds and we can get the maids to help clean him up, then he just needs rest."

"Alright." Marcel nods, relieved. "Would you like a hand, Liam?"

"That would be great."

---

After making sure Louis is okay, they've requested for their Beta maids to help clean him up and change him into more comfortable clothes and put him at the guest room. When everything is settled, they decided that too much things have been happening for the night and it's time to call it a day even if it's still early. That's how the three of them are in bed, already doing their night routine and getting ready to sleep.

"So, would you like to tell us what happened back there, Edward?" Marcel asks quietly.

He barely finishes his question before Edward replies. "No."

"Oh come on.." Harry whines, rolling until he's lying on top of Edward, mouthing at his neck. "Tell us."

"Get off me, you slut." Edward grunts but makes no action to remove him.

They were having their dinner when they saw Louis being harassed. Harry and Marcel were ready on their feet to go and stop what was happening but Edward stopped them and told them to go and sit back down. Harry almost punched Edward in the face, his Alpha instinct telling him to go and protect the Omega. But suddenly Louis was knocking the two Alphas head together and skipped away. Harry had never been more impressed.

They then had continued with their meal. Since all of them were excited to get home early for exciting activities, Harry had instantly asked for the bill once they finished eating. He was a little disappointed that Louis hadn't come back out at all but he didn't voice it out. One could tell his triplets felt the same way too, if their faces and the imploring way they kept glancing at the kitchen door was anything to go by. The moment the waiter left to get their bill, Edward tensed in his seat. Harry and Marcel didn't even get to ask anything before their oldest triplet was out of the door.

Marcel disappeared too, in pursuit of his brother and Harry had to struggle to pull a few hundred notes and dumped them on the table before he was running after them.

He had followed their scents and the moment he got close, he can tell that there was a mix of other Alphas' scents and then there was the sweet, intangible smell of Louis. But when he arrived, he saw Edward pining two Alphas by the throat against the wall. They're the ones who were giving Louis a hard time at the restaurant. He looked to the side and Marcel was crouched over a crying Louis and as soon as he put two and two together he saw red. Harry barely even noticed it when he grabbed one of the Alphas in his brother's hold and ripped his throat apart.

He wonders how Edward knew what happened and where to find Louis.

So that is what him and Marcel are trying to get out of the older brother. Harry sits up on Edward's stomach, knowing that his weight causes nothing but annoyance.

"Why won't you tell us?" He demands, pouting while he crosses his arms.

Edward rolls his eyes. "What's the point in that? He's safe now, isn't he?"

"Yeah, but it doesn't hurt to let us know about it." Marcel pipes in, fitting himself to Edward's side. "We're really curious."

Edward sighs exaggeratedly, making Harry giggle although there's nothing absolutely funny about it. "I noticed when the Alphas left. I thought they were going to let it rest. And then I just heard him. That's it. And then all I could think of was how he's in danger and there's nothing that ever made me angrier. I barely noticed what I was doing, all I knew was that I had to get rid of the danger. I had to keep him safe."

Marcel and Harry are quiet for a few seconds before the latter speaks. "Why didn't you let me and Marcel stop them at the restaurant?"

"Because Louis didn't look that scared. He looked like he got things under control. He clearly was, but not when they attacked him when he's vulnerable." Edward is trying to keep himself unaffected, ignorant. But Harry and Marcel knows better by the hitch in his breath.

"Vulnerable?" Marcel inquires.

"What the bloody hell were you two doing? Were you that focused on the meal?" Edward asks in disbelief.

"Heyyy, we were hungry." Harry pokes at Edward's nipple.

"He was crying when he left. Should've known it wouldn't be safe."

"Edward, it's not your fault." Marcel says quietly. "Besides, you got there on time. We saved him. You saved him."

"Yeah." Harry nods. "If it wasn't for you, he wouldn't be downstairs sleeping soundly. God knows what would've happened."

Edward doesn't reply, merely lets Harry takes his hand and strokes a soothing thumb on the back.

"You know.." Harry speaks up, his voice suggestive. It causes Edward and Marcel to perk up. "It makes me all hot and bothered looking at you growling and snarling the Alphas just now. You were so sexy."

Marcel groans, not turned on or anything, he just can't believe Harry would say such a thing after a serious and tensed moment. But he can't say he isn't interested in the outcome. "Yeah, I agree." He murmurs, snuggling closer so he could latch his lips to Edward's neck.

"I'm surrounded by animals."

---

The first thing Harry registers when he wakes up is the sound of birds chirping. He blinks sleepily, pushing himself up on his elbows to look around. The sun has already risen, filling the room with bright rays of sunshine that are making him squint. The warmth that curled around him last night isn't there anymore so Edward must have gotten up. The sound of his voice coming from downstairs confirms Harry's theory.

He focuses a little, trying to figure out what his brother is saying but Edward has stopped talking and Harry can hear Liam and Marcel's voice. It's only then he noticed that he's alone on the vacant bed.

Harry stretches while he yawns, letting out a contented moan while his bones pop. His body is so sore, especially below the waist but he loves it, loves the way it deliciously ache everywhere.

One look at the clock tells Harry that it's only eight in the morning. Surprised, Harry gets off of the bed with a smile. He doesn't expect to wake up so early but now that he's up, there's no way he's going back to sleep.

He walks off towards the shower after grabbing for a towel. When he stands in front of the mirror, Harry observes the bruises his brothers left on him and lights up. He's always loved being the canvas for Edward and Marcel to paint on.

After showering thoroughly and washing his hair, Harry quickly dries himself and dresses up in a black t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. Once he's dried his hair, Harry quickly makes his way down.

Following the voices he hears, Harry makes his way into the dining room where his brothers and Liam are.

"Morning." He greets, touching Edward's shoulder and quickly dropping a chaste kiss on his brother's lips when he looks up. Edward rolls his eyes but says nothing as Harry moves to kiss Marcel next. The Alpha gets so clingy and cuddly the morning after.

"Morning, Harry." Liam says with a chuckle as the addressed man walks over to kiss him on the forehead. "Had a nice night, then?" He teases.

Harry takes a seat and nods with a beam. "Yeah, very satisfying." He confirms, winking cheekily and sending Liam into a full blown laughter.

"Here." Marcel places a plate filled with two toasts, eggs and bacon. He'd lathered the toasts with butter and strawberry jam, knowing that's how Harry would want it.

Harry rewards him with a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, always so lovely to me."

"Yeah, he didn't kiss you twice last night when you were a clingy fuck." Edward drawls, clearly jealous eventhough his face says otherwise.

Liam laughs louder. "I don't even know why you bother, Edward. He treats you both just the same. It'd be a miracle if you ever find an Omega. They might think Harry's a wannabe that would take their place."

"Heyyy." Harry drags out, picking up a bacon. "I'd love for the three of us to get an Omega. It'd be good to have someone to care for."

"Says the bloke who can't even take care of himself." Marcel mutters behind the rim of his cup.

"Excuse you." Harry pokes at his brother.

"Liam, have you called Niall yet?" Edward suddenly asks, his face showing that he's here but his mind is elsewhere. They all know that he's keeping tabs on the sleeping Omega, ready to tend to him when he wakes up.

Liam nods, sipping on his tea. "Yeah, he's on his way."

"Good."

"Hey, uh.." Liam clears his throat. "Listen. I didn't want to say anything last night but I figured I could talk now."

"Yeah, out with it." Edward grunts, tearing apart his toast before shoving it in his mouth.

Liam chuckles sheepishly. "Right, okay. You're, well, you three are going to be twenty six this year. Haven't you ever thought to settle down?"

"Of course we do." Marcel nods, eyeing Liam as if he'd just insulted their mother.

"But do we really need one? Could we afford to have one? I don't know if we're capable." Edward shakes his head. "Besides, who would want us, Lima?"

"And which omega would agree to three alphas?" Harry pipes in, serious. "The last time we tried to have an Omega on our own, you know what happened."

Liam sighs heavily, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, I guess so."

There was one time where the three of them had sat down and discussed about getting a mate. Of course they had fooled around but as they grew older, they realised that they should properly talk about it if they were to find a mate soon for each of them.

So the three came to an agreement. They would stop hooking up with each other and go find a mate for themselves.

That's what they did.

Except that it didn't work out at all. Harry was the first one to try and bring a girl back home, wanting to introduce her to Edward and Marcel before he would take things forward. Too bad that Edward didn't even want to see her. He was pissed, staying in their room and struggling not to start destroying the furniture the moment she stepped into the house. Even Marcel was very reluctant to go and see her.

Harry thought it was just because of the girl, but he quickly cut things off with her.

When Marcel brought a bloke home, Harry understood what Edward felt. He couldn't stand it, the thought of someone else taking away one of his brothers. Just thinking about it made Harry want to puke, claw his eyes out so that it would at least get rid of the horrible feeling in his chest. He had begged to Marcel on his knees with tear stained face for him not to continue with that relationship. It was all very dramatic.

And they just knew that it's the three of them or none of them.

"But.." Liam says again, the excitement in his voice close to non-existant but the triplets still detected it. "What if an Omega wants you three? What would you do then? Would you agree with it?"

Marcel snorts. "Bring us forth the aforementioned Omega and then we can talk."

Suddenly Edward shoots out of his chair, disappearing out and shocking the rest of the people in the dining room.

"What's gotten into him?" Liam asks, a horrified look on his face while he places a hand on his chest.

Harry pauses for a moment, then grows to his feet too, seemingly at the same time that Marcel notices. "Louis's awake." He says calmly, pushing his chair back and quickly making his way to the guest room, Liam and Marcel hot on his heels.

When they get there, Edward is leaning against the wall beside the bed. The Omega is rousing awake but he's not fully up yet. Edward doesn't take his eyes off of the feathery haired man but Harry knows his brother notices their entrance.

Harry walks over quietly and kneels on the floor, sitting quietly while he waits for Louis to wake up. He turns around for Marcel, finding him mirroring Edward's pose beside the eldest triplet himself. Liam just settles on standing in the corner.

---

The first thing that registers in Louis' brain the moment he wakes up is the blinding light above him. He whimpers quietly, slowly turning his head to the side and blinking repeatedly so his eyes could get used to it.

Once his vision clears, he looks to the side and he sees Harry watching him quietly, a worried expression clear on his face. He notices Marcel and Edward, the former has the exact expression as Harry's while the latter just stares at him like he's bored.

He frowns when he realises he's in bed, sitting up quietly and patting his chest to see if he's still in his clothes. When his hand grips a fabric on his chest, Louis sighs in relief. The moment he looks down, he screams.

"Louis, Louis, what's wrong?" Harry asks panickedly, jumping onto the bed next to him and trying to calm the Omega. Even Liam looks dumbfounded from the corner.

The moment Harry tries to touch Louis, his hand gets slapped away and Louis scoots back, away from him. Harry's face falls. "What did you do to me?" Louis snarls, but fails to sound angry and fierce. He just sounds broken, vulnerable and weak. The sob that follows his question and the accompanying tears don't make it better at all.

"What do you mean?" Harry asks confusedly, his face frowning at the sight of the Omega crying in front of him. He hears Edward huffing.

Louis lets out a small sob, cupping his hand on his mouth. "Did you, did you do anything to me?"

Marcel seems to understand what he's talking about and quickly takes a few steps closer, making Louis jump back. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." He takes a step back. "But I swear, we didn't. We didn't do anything. We didn't touch you at all."

Louis doesn't look like he believes in what Marcel is saying but he's listening. "Where are my clothes? Who changed me?" He demands agitatedly.

"Our maids. We have Beta maids and, we asked them to change you since your clothes got dirty." Harry rushes his words to explain, lifting two hands to show Louis he means no harm.

Louis falls silent for a moment, staring at all the faces in the room, even the Alpha he didn't notice at first in the corner. When he's sure that none of their faces shows that what Harry and Marcel are saying is untrue, he relaxes a little.

Harry looks terribly worried, if not offended that Louis would expect that of him while Marcel looks like he just wants Louis to trust him. Edward doesn't give a shit and the unknown Alpha just looks confused.

"Where am I?" He asks, a little grumpily.

"In our house. I asked you if you could come here and you said okay. Do you remember that?" Marcel replies softly, prompting Louis' memory.

Louis does remember that, remember the gentle touches and how safe he has felt surrounded by the three Alphas last night. He especially remembers how comfortable it was being in Edward's arms. "Yeah." He replies delicately.

"Do you need anything?" Marcel asks in a friendly tone, and if he thinks it's going to make Louis relax then he's right. Marcel speaks in such a soothing tone, one that can probably calm Louis down in a moment of life and death.

Louis nods timidly. "Is it alright if I have a glass of water?" He asks, feeling really weird for asking anything from an Alpha.

Marcel makes to move but Edward's voice lets him stay where he's seated.

"I'll get it."

"O-Okay." Marcel stutters, unable to hide his disbelief. His brother has been acting really weird, as if he has a dilemma within himself. One moment he's attending to Louis and making sure he has everything but then he'll withdraw himself and hold himself back. Marcel doesn't understand, but he'd need to have a talk with him. For now, he can only watch quietly while Edward leaves the room to take the water Louis asked for.

"So, um.." Louis ducks his head, scratching his temple. "Who's he?" He asks, gesturing to the brown eyed, mated Alpha who still has yet to move from where he's stood for the past minutes.

Marcel smiles. "That's Liam. He's a doctor, but we're good friends so he's been our doctor for quite some time."

"Oh." Louis nods, then he seems to notice the bandage wrapped firmly around his wrists just tight enough not to cut his blood flow but serves it purpose as well.

Harry's fingers hover gently on the fabric separating their skin, and when Louis looks, he might have thought that the Alpha is in pain. "I don't know why," Harry starts in a barely audible voice. "But it hurts me to know you did this to yourself. Please don't ever do that again?"

Louis doesn't know if it's the genuine tone in Harry's voice or if it's the look on his face that proves how sick it made him to know that Louis had hurt himself or maybe it's the way Marcel stares so solemnly at his hands that he nods. "Okay, I promise." His heart immediately beats faster at the smiles on the identical Alphas' face.

Liam perks up. "Ooh, he's here." He suddenly says, eyes a little unfocused. Louis senses that it's another Omega. "Love, we're in here!" Liam calls out loudly.

"Liam's pack and ours are close so we called for his Omega to come and keep you company. Is that okay?" Marcel brightens as he tells Louis, his face brightening up much like Harry does when he's happy and Louis can't help but smile.

A scent fills his nose, one that feels familiar. It makes his stomach churn and he's momentarily thrown back to the past before a figure finally appears at the door with a loud, booming voice speaking in an Irish accent that feels familiar to Louis' ears. "Wey hey, ya shower of cunts! What have you done no-" The blond Omega stops dead in his track at the threshold, his eyes widening and blood draining from his face as he stares at Louis with disbelief plastered all over his face.

Louis gasps, tears pricking at his eyes and his heartbeat picking up when he takes in the person at the entrance of the room. "Niall!" He is already flipping the duvet off and jumping onto the floor, running across the room at the same time that the blond reacts and surges towards Louis all the same.

"Louis!" Niall shouts and then Louis slams against him, hitting warm, solid chest and arms that instantly curl around him tightly it is suffocating him and he bursts out crying at how much the pain proves to him that this is real. It's Niall. He's hugging his best friend.

"It's you." Louis sobs, pulling back and gripping both sides of Niall's face. The Irishman's face is red, eyes puffy as endless tears stream down his face. "Oh my God, it's really you." He gasps out, placing kisses everywhere on Niall's face that he could reach; his cheeks, his nose, his forehead, his eyes, his lips, his jaws.

Niall's cries grow hysterical, causing Louis the same effect. Both of the Omega wailing and crying make the Alphas in the room feel like jumping over to them and pull them apart so Liam could calm his Omega and Harry and Marcel could soothe Louis down but they don't want to ruin the moment. It seems like the Omega are sharing an emotional moment and Liam doesn't look like the urge to comfort his Omega is too strong, so he figured that they're not that upset, just overwhelmed.

"I missed you so much." Niall croaks in between sobs, returning the gesture and kissing Louis all over his face, lingering on his forehead before he's burying his face at Louis' neck, the brunette Omega doing the same.

Louis clings to Niall, both of them slowly collapsing onto the floor, still holding each other tight until they're both sitting in each other's embrace. "I thought," Louis takes a deep breath, voice thick with emotion. "I thought you were dead. Greg told me, I thought." And then he is crying again. "I thought I lost you, Ni. Why did you do that to me?!" He pulls back to push Niall on his shoulder and chest.

Niall shakes his head furiously. "I didn't mean to. Louis, I swear to God I didn't. I'm sorry."

Louis just throws himself onto Niall again, hugging him tightly, both of them gasping for air after the tears.

"I love you so much." Louis says quietly, but everybody in the room hears him.

Niall nods, kissing the side of Louis' head lovingly. "And I love you. So much."

They sit there, slowly calming down, the sobs subsiding and the tears start drying. Louis and Niall didn't even notice Edward coming in a few minutes ago, too wrapped up in their little reunion.

Once the Omegas are breathing steadily and only sniffles are heard, Liam clears his throat. "So, um, should I be jealous?"

Louis starts crying again when Niall bursts out laughing at what Liam said, the familiarity of it washing over him and he buries his face at Niall's neck.

"I'm sorry." Louis laughs quietly, wiping the tears at the corner of his eyes. "I'm not usually this emotional."

"If you didn't cry, I would have been offended, you twat." Niall slaps the back of his head, making Louis mewl in pain and pouts at him. "Don't give me that face, or I'll bloody shove you onto the wall."

"Don't you dare do anything to that pretty face." Edward snaps, then his eyes widen when all eyes turn to him, as if he hadn't mean for that to come out.

Louis flushes red, hiding his face at Niall's chest.

"Ya think he's a pretty little thing eh, Edward?" Niall teases, poking Louis' ribs and making him giggle, trying to push his hands away.

"Shut up, Niall." Edward and Louis say at the same time, making the rest of the occupants in the room snicker.

Niall raises his eyebrow at Louis, prompting his best friend to flick at his forehead.

"Arsehole." Niall mumbles, scowling at a grinning Louis while he nurses his head.

Louis tenses, flushing red again as he untangles their limbs and hesitantly grows to his feet. He doesn't look up while he walks towards where Edward is standing with the glass of water he requested in hands. The Alpha says nothing when Louis stops in front of him, just holds his hand out and Louis ducks his head when he takes the glass from Edward's grip. He seems to hesitate for a moment, then stretches on his toes to brush his lips briefly against Edward's cheek. Both their faces heat up and Louis quickly walks away, grabbing Niall by the arm and dragging him out. He ignores the cackle in his ear.

Liam bursts out laughing when the only people left in the room are the Alphas. He receives confused but amused looks from the middle and youngest triplet but not from the eldest. Oh no, if looks could kill, Liam would be six feet under by now. "Sorry, sorry. I just find it funny."

"What's funny, Malik?" Edward prompts angrily.

Liam rolls his eyes. "It's Malik-Payne." He corrects irritatedly. "I've just never seen anybody behaving like that with you. Except Harry, and maybe Marcel when he lacks of attention."

"Hey!"

"Wait, what does that mean?" Edward glares, and any other person would be terrified with that look but Liam just laughs, already used to the triplets' antics.

Liam shrugs. "Like he doesn't care about your personal space or boundaries or whatever. I'm just saying that he's probably attracted to you. And that's a good thing."

"It's not actually impossible for him to be attracted to me, Liam. I'm an Alpha, he's an Omega."

Marcel and Harry have huddled closer, trying to decipher what Liam is trying to say. They whisper between themselves, talking about it for 0.2 seconds before Harry redirects the topic and suddenly they're discussing ice creams toppings.

"Other Alphas, yes, not you Edward. All Omegas I've seen you interact with so far either wants to be away from you or kill you." Liam sighs.

Edward snorts, rejecting what Liam is saying. "Why is it a good thing, Liam? Pray do tell?"

"It's a good thing, because, he's attracted, to all three of you." Liam speaks as if he's talking to a child, feeding the flame of fury in Edward's chest.

What Liam said catches the attention of the couple of the triplets and they turn to him in surprise.

"Say that again?" Marcel requests.

"I think he likes the three of you." Liam repeat with a grin, clasping his hands behind his back.

"No." Edward growls. "I'm not allowing this to happen."

"What?" Harry almost snaps his neck when he looks at Edward. "Why not? You care about Louis!"

"He's an Omega, that's what Alphas feel around them." Edward scolds, making Harry whine and steps back, upset. "We don't know him, Harry."

"If that's the case, rape shouldn't be an issue." Marcel quips, fixing his glasses and settling Edward with a challenging look. "Admit it, Edward. He's a potential mate. Maybe we should give him a try."

"And Louis doesn't have a say in this?" He hisses, curling and uncurling his hands into fists. The urge to punch Marcel in the face is there but he holds it in, not wanting any violence in the house when the Omega is around.

Fuck, why should Edward care that much anyway?

"Don't be dumb, Edward. Of course we're going to ask him first."

"Stop, just stop fighting. I don't like this." Harry growls our a protest, tugging frustratedly at his hair.

Edward groans, his blood boiling. Why is he so angry? "Enough! We're not talking about this anymore." And before anyone can do anything, he dashes out the door.

"Edward!" Harry calls, trying to run after him but Marcel grips his wrist. "Marcel, don't. He'll run off."

"Let him." Marcel says soothingly, rubbing his thumb in circles on the back of Harry's palm. Harry slumps dejectedly, eyes already pricking with tears. "He'll know to come back when he wants to. He needs time to himself. You know how he is."

"There's always so much drama in this house, I wonder how the Betas live." Liam shudders, still slightly stunned at the scene happened in front of him just now. Even though it's just a small matter compared to other things that's occurred before, it always amazes Liam how much drama the triplets can cause.

"Oh trust me, Liam. They feed off on it."
