Alpha Mitch was in his study when Gale came inside with a brown envelope containing some pictures.
"What are these?" He asked without a sign of interest.
"Open it, it's quite self explanatory" Gale replied and that earned him a glare from Mitch.
Sighing in annoyance, he picked up the envelope and took out the two pictures that sat inside.
He looked at it with a blank expression before his eyes slowly widened in shock.
"This?" He asked with a frown.
"That's the results of our search today, the Omega is fine as you can see and she—he seemed not to be affected by anything"Gale stumbled on his words as he tried to use the correct pronouns.
A smile immediately tugged at Alpha Mitch's lips.
He looked at the pictures again while paying more attention to the details.
He was walking while leaning on someone, a girl almost the same height as him.
"Is this what you have been up to?" Alpha Mitch muttered under his breath.
"What are you going to do?" Gale asked, interrupting his thoughts.
"Do?, about what?" He asked with one lifted brow.
"She…I mean he is a male Omega. You can't get mated to him!" Gale reminded him in disbelief.
"Why not?" Alpha Mitch asked.
"The pack elders will flip out!
There are several female Omegas, and male Omega are meant for Female Alphas" His agitation grew as he explained further to the extent that Alpha Mitch nodded in understanding.
"Maybe you need a reminder that we are already married legally. The gender of an Omega makes little difference anyways.
Get the cars ready" He ordered shutting down the argument.
Gale could only forego the argument and left grumpily.
They drove to the location of the college, Alpha Mitch's excitement grew as they got closer even though a nagging feeling at the back of his mind told him the Omega might not want to see him.
"What should I do if he refuses to see me?" Alpha Mitch asked as different thoughts and scenarios passed through his mind.
"Then we would return to the Mansion" He replied dejectedly.
"I'm not returning without him," Alpha Mitch replied, leaving no room for an argument.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Trevor asked as she walked out of the cafeteria.
Tristan nodded and looked at Nita to confirm if she was fine too and she nodded.
"If you don't mind, I can drop you off at home" Trevor offered.
The two friends exchanged a look before Tristan politely turned down the offer.
"I think he likes you," Nita said as they walked hand in hand.
Tristan winced as he walked because his whole back was aching.
"You promised to tell me what happened to you this morning. Won't you anymore?" She asked suddenly in curiosity.
Tristan, remembering the promise he sobered up.
It won't be hard to tell her everything but he was feeling embarrassed.
"What is it?" she asked but he shook his head.
"Let's sit here" he replied and pulled her to a small pavilion.
"I…don't know how to start," Tristan confessed softly.
"Okay, tell me why you weren't in school for two days" She replied and that made him frown as it made no difference.
He was away because he got married to an Alpha because his step sister ran away.
Who would believe him? He thought but slowly shook his head at Nita.
"Huh, You promised!
Don't you dare break your promise" She yelled in disbelief.
"I won't, it's just that I don't know how to explain. So give me some time" Tristan persuaded and she nodded in understanding.
"Those fools stained your clothes" she grumbled and dust some dirt off his back.
"Let's go home " Nita announced and they walked to the next bus station with their arms around each other unaware of the car that was slowly following beside them.
They arrived home and they both had a quick shower before they settled down in front of the television for a movie.
Snuggled together on the couch under one blanket, that soon made Tristan drift off to sleep but a sudden knock on the door startled the both of them.
"Huh?" Nita looked at the door in surprise.
"Are you expecting anyone?" Tristan asked as he shut his eyes, determined not to move an inch.
"No, I don't.
Despite knowing they both have no other engagements with other people she waddled over to the door, ready to yell at whoever was there.
She opened the door and her mouth opened wildly in shock.
The person before her was taller than anybody she has ever seen and his wide shoulders made her throat dry.
"Who are you?" She croaked out in a barely audible voice.
Before he could respond she noticed someone behind him.
Not as tall as him and his scent didn't fill her senses like the Alpha's.
He is an Alpha!
She thought in panic, but a part of her mind told her she was wrong.
"I'm Mitch," he replied.
"I'm here to see this person" he said, whipping out the picture and shoving close to her face.
Nita gasped in shock and a new fear struck her.
A picture of her with Tristan?
"Give me a moment" she said with a soft smile before she banged the door shut and hurried over to Tristan.
'"You said you were not expecting anyone!" Nita went over Tristan and shook him awake.
"What?" Tristan asked with his eyes still closed and hoping to drift back to sleep.
"This is not time to sleep, there is an Alpha by the door" she whispered-yelled.
That finally made Tristan sit up slowly.
"An Alpha?"
"Yes and he wants to see you." She replied.
"No, I don't know any Alpha. I'm sure it's a mistake" He refuted.
"No, he had your picture!"
That finally made Tristan hurry to his feet.
He was a step from the door when panic set in.
All his major problems in life were circled around Alphas.
From not being a strong Alpha to be forced to marry one while avoiding some among the sea of students..
Tristan gently and slowly pulled the door open.
Words froze in his throat as he stared at Alpha's Mitch hooded gaze
He wouldn't have thought he would find him here.
"Hey little Omega" Alpha Mitch whispered as he bent down to his eye level.
