I had made it to the Hael household. I sharply knocked on the front door, hoping he was at home tonight. I waited a few moments, when there was no response I wrapped the door a few more times. The door opened to an Omega with curly black hair that had been tied up into a bun.

"Can I help you?" He asked, looking at me with questioning eyes.

"Um, who're you?" I asked the Omega, not quite remembering his name.

"Malikai, now can I help you Alpha?" He questioned me again.

"Well I came to see August, is he home?" The door abruptly slammed in my face making me step backwards. After a few moments of waiting I decided to just go home. Once I was halfway down the driveway I heard the front door of the house open up.

"Wait." I heard him call out for me. I turn back towards the house to see him running up to me. "You're here to talk to me?" He asked once he approached me. His beautiful green eyes gleamed in the moonlight.

"Yes, I came to talk to you." I grinned at him.

"Would you like to come in? I can make you some hot chocolate." He beamed.

"I would love that." He grabbed my hand and started pulling me towards the house. His warm hand tingles against mine. The static from his touch left me wanting more.

Mate. Dimitri managed to get out before I blocked him out. I tried to breathe in his scent but nothing came. My eyes darted to his neck where the scent blocker rested. He pulled me into the house and dragged me to the kitchen.

"You can sit on one of the stools." He let go of my hand, motioning toward the bar.

"Alright." He started to make the hot chocolate by pouring the milk into a pan heating it up. Once he had the finished product he sat the mug in front of me along with a bag of marshmallows. He grabbed a big hand full of them and put them inside of his mug. I chuckled at the mountain of marshmallows that he managed to pile on the hot liquid.

"Help yourself." He motioned to the marshmallows. I grab a few and toss them into my mug. "Anyways, what brings you here Alpha?" He looked at me with those eyes. He plucked one of the marshmallows off the top of his mountain and popped it into his mouth.

"I came here to apologize for my father's actions." I started, his eyes widened in fear, as the words left my mouth. "Hey, hey don't worry, I found out from my mom." His shoulders relaxed just a tad at the news.

"No need, I'm just... Dealing with it." He brings his hand up to his neck, scratching around the collar. I noticed the sores that had formed around the collar. My body reacted before my mind could and I stood up from the stool and walked around the bar so I was close to the little Omega. I snapped the plastic collar off of his neck.

"Don't put another one on." I demanded from him, using my Alpha tone with him. He looked up at me, meeting my eyes. Normally Omega's dare to even look me in the eyes. When he did though, it was as if my world would stop around me. He nodded in acknowledgement, his Adam's apple bobbing as he gulped. My hand dragged itself up, my fingers tilted his head up. Again my body acted on its own and my face dangerously got close to his.

Someone cleared their throat, snapping me out of the trans I was in. I looked in the direction the sound had come from and noticed the Omega from earlier. "Alpha, I don't think that would be a good decision." He looked at me with knowing eyes.

I dropped my hand and stepped away from August. "You're right." I cleared my throat and I walked back to where I had previously been sitting.

August cleared his throat before speaking again. "Anyways, it's fine." He shrugged, picking his mug up and taking a sip.

"No it's not, an Alpha shouldn't use his authority to make someone do things such as using scent blockers." I wrapped my fingers around my mug tightly.

"Honestly I'm okay, I shouldn't have provoked you." Rage bubbled in my chest at his words.

"You didn't do shit, little one, if anyone did anything it was me. I'm the one who acted out, I'm the one who couldn't control myself, this is my fault." My knuckles turned white as I clenched on the mug.

"I should have noticed my heat was going to start. I had symptoms the days before it happened, it was my fault." He sits the mug down in front of him licking the milk off of his top lip.

"No it was not." I barked, making August flinch.

"I gotta agree with the Alpha on this one Aug, you can't control what happens when you go into heat. I mean," Malikai patted on his small protruding stomach. "Look at me. It can just come sometimes, I mean I've never heard of someone getting theirs earlier than their normal time so you could have easily not detected it." Malikai began pouring him a mug full of hot chocolate, joining August at his side.

"I still should have noticed the symptoms..." He trailed off.

"Again don't worry about that." I stated, taking a sip of my hot chocolate. "Um I actually came here to talk to you about something else."

"That would be?" He took a sip of his hot chocolate again, meeting my eyes once more.

"Well," I paused for a second looking at the two Omega's. "My mother is going to start working with you when she has time. Due to the circumstances that has led up to this point, my mother and I both agree that we believe you might be the next Luna of the pack." Malikai dropped his mug from his hands at my abrupt accusation.

"Sorry." He yelped, jumping back from the shattered porcelain. I hopped up from my seat once more and helped August pick up the pieces of glass. "I'm so sorry."

"Don't worry about it Kai." August stood up straight and placed the bigger pieces of glass on the counter. "It happens, anyways love do you think you could give our Alpha and I some privacy, I'll talk to you later." He put his hand on Malikai's shoulder nodding his head, silently telling him that he would be okay.

The older Omega nodded leaving the room. I sat the pieces I had gotten up next to the ones on the counter. August swiftly moved past me and opened the pantry door and grabbed a broom. He began cleaning up the mess of glass and the liquid.

Once the mess was cleaned he leaned up against the cabinet as he had been earlier. I had gone back to sitting down in front of my mug.

I broke the tension. "I'm sorry about announcing that, I didn't think to ask to speak to you alone."

"It's okay, that was one hell of a way to start out a conversation." His melodus laugh escaped his lips, tying me down under its spell. This felt dangerous, but also exciting to be in the same room as him.

"Sorry I just wanted to get it out in the open, she knows I'm here too. I'm sorry my father made it feel like you could no longer talk to me." I held my hand out for him to grab. He looked me in the eyes as if he was asking for permission to grab my hand. I gave him a small nod and he grabbed my hand.

"Are you certain about this though, I've seen the way you are with Onyx." I put my free hand up to stop him there.

"I'm one hundred percent sure that there won't be a bond between Onyx and I. Dimitri seems to be very adamant about you being my mate." I smile at him. "Right now he's practically begging me to get to know you just a little more. We've only seen each other a handful of times, and I think the most I've talked to you alone was about your wolf."

"That does sound about right, I know this sounds wrong but do you want to come up to my room to talk some more?"

"Sure." I follow him upstairs into his bedroom, abandoning the hot chocolate. One part of me felt like I was violating so many of my fathers rules, the other didn't give a shit. Mostly it was Dimitri wanting to rub himself against any and all surfaces that could hold my scent.

August ran over to the small pile of clothes that was sitting next to the closet and he picked them up and put them in the laundry basket. He then ran over the night stand and grabbed the copious amounts of water bottles that had been sitting on it. "I'll be right back." He passed me walking out of the bedroom. I started looking around the room, feeling like I was invading his privacy in a way. I made my way to the dresser and there were several pictures on the mirror of him and his friends. I smiled and I plucked one of them at the county fair, he had been holding a thing of cotton candy in front of his face, he was beaming in the picture. My lips tug up in response.

"I'm back." My eyes widen at the sound of his voice. I glance over my shoulder guiltily from invading his privacy. He came toward me and plucked the photo out of my hand. "You look pretty guilty, don't worry about these, they're meant for others to look at."

"Sorry." I feel heat rising to my cheeks.

"Did I, August Hael, make you Alpha Alexandre, blush?" He puts his hand, mocking shock.

"You can drop the title August."

"I dunno, I think Alpha has a certain ring to it." He teased, a small smile appeared on my lips. "Anyways, you can join me on my bed, it's comfy to sit on." He jumped onto the bed, surrounding himself with his pillows. I couldn't help but think of how adorable he was.

I sat next to him, Dimitri was stirring at the closeness of him. "So anyways tell me more about yourself?" I look at him questioningly.

"Like what? My favorite color is yellow at the moment, my favorite song at the moment is Rad Drugs by Missio. Book series, vampire academy, ironically your wolf's name is Dimitri." I didn't understand his reference. "Mmm, my favorite anime is My Hero Academia, my favorite TV show is Supernatural, and my favorite movies are the Iron Man movies." Okay he's a big nerd, like colossal nerd levels are seeping from his pores as we speak.

"Nerd! What's anime?" His jaw dropped in shock.

"Oh if by goddess's chance if you're my mate we're fucking changing this 'What's anime' bullshit. I feel like you've already betrayed me." He laughed, tossing a pillow at me, clocking me in the face.

Oh he'll wish he didn't do that.
