Chapter 120

That night, Avi was the last to go to bed. He felt absolutely awful about what he'd done. When he walked into his bedroom, all three of his Omegas were knelt on the ground by the foot of the bed in their Omega positions. Scott, of course, looked very uncomfortable. Kirstin was the only one that looked almost normal. Mitch started trembling with fear as soon as Avi walked in, this caused a ripple effect. Scott got angry, and his jaw locked. Kirstin could smell the anger, and it made her bite her lip to try to distract herself from it. Avi closed the door, and sat down on the floor in front of them all. Mitch flinched, and it hurt Avi's heart. No one said anything for a minute. Avi quietly started them off. "I'm sorry." Mitch and Kirstin spoke at the same time, following protocol. "Sorry for what, Sir?" Avi reached out to touch Mitch's hand, and he flinched. Avi pretended not to notice, and grabbed his hand anyway. "I'm sorry for trying to force you into hitting your own Alpha. I'm very sorry. Please don't be afraid of me. Don't flinch away from me. I still love you, Mitchell. Very very much. I never meant to hurt you." Mitch looked up at him with a small, genuine smile. "Thank you. I forgive you, Alpha." Avi smiled at him and kissed Mitch's small hand. Scott kept his head down, but his jaw was still locked. Avi dropped Mitch's hand and scooted over on the floor to be closer to Scott. Scott refused to look at him, and tried not to pull away when Avi grabbed his hand too. Avi smiled at him. "I'm really sorry, Scott. I'm very sorry. I should've just punished you myself without dragging your Omega into it. I just.. I feel bad, so I'm going to be honest with you. And I'm embarrassed so I'm not going to repeat myself. I.. I was afraid to hurt you again." Scott looked up finally. "Afraid? You don't get scared." Avi scoffed and looked down at Scott's hand. "I wish that was true.. I get scared all the time. I don't want to hurt you anymore. I was just angry... I'm sorry." Scott avoided his gaze again. "It's fine." Avi gave his hand a small squeeze. "Is it too much to ask for an Omega answer?" Scott sighed. "Mitchie?" Mitch smiled at him. "Forgive him if you want. But you have to thank him." Scott nodded and met Avi's eyes. "Thank you. I.. I forgive you." Avi blinked at him, and then smiled. "Thank you.. I'm really sorry." He kissed Scott's hand, and then dropped it. Avi stood and helped Kirstin stand up. "Thank you for always being there for me.. Showing me what I'm doing wrong. You're everything I've ever needed. I am so grateful that you're in my life."
