Niall opened the back door and hopped in, Louis was about to follow when he was stopped. "Louis, why don't you sit in the front today? So Harry doesn't feel like a shofer." Liam smiled, and Louis gave a smile back before shutting the door. 'lord help me' he thought before opening the passenger door.

As he opened it he caught Harry glaring at Liam through the rearview mirror. Louis hoisted himself up and shut the door. He only just got his seatbelt on before Harry began driving. "Where's Zayn?" Niall asked after a fe minutes of silence. "Usually on Friday nights he says at HQ." Liam spoke. "As the pack alpha, he likes to be first there." Harry added.

Louis admired how committed Zayn was to his pack. It can't be easy being a senior and taking care of a pack. But he seems to do a great job. Louis looked over at Harry from the corner of his eye. First gazing over his muscular arms. The veins in his forearms sticking out as he gripped the steering wheel, his shirt hugging his biceps. Louis licks his lips and drags his eyes up Harry's neck and to his jaw line.

Louis' stomach rumbled, probably from his lack of food, causing him yo gulp and turn  his head the in the other direction towards his window. He took a deep breath, he hoped Harry didn't see him. He tried to slow down his heart rate. Why was this alpha so different from the others? Why did Harry do things to him that no one else could?

They soon arrived at HQ and Niall and Liam hopped out. Louis turned to undo his seatbelt but Harry's hand covered it before he could reach. Louis looked up into Harry's eyes, not be able to read any emotion but he knew they looked serious. "What are you doing?" Louis asked, trying to sounds tougher than he felt. Harry waiting until Niall shut the door and they were alone.

He looked back into the omegas eyes, sending a chill down the smaller boys spine. "What did you eat this morning?" He asked. Louis was surprised, not expecting that of all questions. "Uh, I didn't have time to eat. Why?" Louis asked and Harry undid the omegs seatbelt along with his own. "Follow me." Was all the reply he got.

Now Louis doesn't usually like following the commands an alpha gives him. He doesn't want them thinking they have control over him. But he was genuinely curious about what Harry was doing. So he followed the Alpha into the shack, not everyone was here yet. Harry walked to the kitchenette and pulled out a loaf of bread and jar of peanut butter.

He slapped it all together and turned to Louis. "You're kidding" the omega sassed, crossing his arms. "You need to eat! You're going to need all the energy you can get, chasing off all these Alphas." Harry handed him the plate and winked before walking away. Louis felt his lips rise, and looked down at the sandwich. He forced them back down when he remembered anyone could be looking at him. He looked around and was relieved to see no one was.

He walked over to Niall and Zayn, taking a bite of his sandwich. "There you are, Louis! I was just running Niall through what to expect today." Zayn motioned to Niall who looked more excited than ever. "Continue" Louis mumbled with a mouth full of sandwich. "Basically, just follow my orders, because I'm never exactly sure of how thing will go throughout the day, so as long as you listen and cooperate, everything should go smoothly." Zayn smiled.

The rest if the pack all showed up within the next ten minutes. They made themselves comfortable spread out across the three lounges. Louis and Niall walked towards Harry and Liam, Louis ending up in between Niall and Liam; making himself feel safe. "Okay, so today I need the alphas to join me at the dining table to discuss patrols. The stronger Betas, you know who you are, join us also." Zayn clapped.

Liam and Harry stood, turning to walk to the dining table, the other alphas and betas followed in suit, while Louis and Niall looked around, not sure of what they had to do. "Bet you're wondering what the rest of us have to do?" a voice came from behind Niall and they both turned to see Nathan smiling at the two. "Yeah, kind of!" Niall chuckled.

"Don't worry, we have chores to do around the place, well, I've done mine already, so us three don't, buy the other do." He smiled smugly watching his friends scatter to do their jobs. "Its Nathan, right?" Niall asked holding out his hand for the beta to shake. "Yeah, Niall?" He asked and Niall nodded.

Nathan leant forward slightly, "And... Louis?" He asked, taking a little longer to remember. "Oh please. Don't act as if you could ever forget me" Louis smirked. "You really are flirty, aren't you?!" Nathan laughed and Niall joined him, "You have no idea!" He added.

Harry felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to see Liam smirking at him, "You paying attention?" Liam asked with a smug smile. "Yes." Harry spat, unclenching his fists under the table. He gave one last look at Louis with the two betas before he forced himself to turn around.
