Chapter 60

Everyone started eating, Scott keeping a watchful eye on the tables around them. They were able to eat in peace luckily, nothing really happening. It was only after they'd paid and stood up to leave that Scott noticed something wrong. He was holding a hand out to help Mitch out of his seat, when he froze. He slowly spun on his heel to scan the area quickly, but thoroughly. Mitch stood behind him, confused. "What are you looking at?" Scott shook his head, taking a step back to protectively wrap an arm around Mitch's waist. Kevin tilted his head at him. "What's wrong, Alpha?" Scott glanced behind him at three men dressed in black, sitting at the bar across the restaurant. Kevin got the hint immediately, and he turned to walk quickly towards the front of the restaurant, Scott following him closely. Mitch was still confused though, as Scott pulled him along. Kevin held the door open for them and then hurried to their car. Scott pushed Mitch into the back seat and followed to sit beside him. Kevin started the car quickly, locking all the doors first. "Should we call Avi?" Scott buckled Mitch's seatbelt in before his own. "On any other day, absolutely. But I don't want to bother him now." Kevin nodded. "Just let me know when, if this turns into something you're not sure you can handle." Scott nodded quickly and turned to look back inside the restaurant as Kevin backed the car up. He almost turned completely around in his seat when he noticed that the men weren't where they used to be. Mitch grabbed onto his arm out of fear as Kevin sped out of the parking lot. Scott turned to him. "What's wrong?" "Alpha... What's happening?" Scott shook his head and leaned down to kiss Mitch's forehead. "Just hang on a second, baby. Everything is okay." Mitch nodded, his grip tightening on Scott's arm. Scott leaned forward a little to talk to Kevin. "Kev.. You saw them at the bar, right?" "Yes, Sir." "Okay, well. When you drove away, they weren't there anymore." Kevin's grip tightened noticeably on the wheel. "It's not that I'm doubting your strength.. But Sir, I think you need to call Avi." "He's busy, Kevin. This is a night he'll never forget. He just got married for Christ's sake." Kevin shook his head slowly. "I know. I wouldn't suggest it if I thought there was any way to avoid it. I just don't want to risk Mitch's safety." Mitch whimpered next to Scott. "Please tell me what's going on... You're scaring me." Scott put his arm over Mitch's shoulders. "It's okay, honey. I'll explain at home. Don't be afraid." Kevin glanced back at him nervously, before turning down a street. Once they'd arrived home, Kevin hurried Mitch inside while Scott glanced down the street to make sure they hadn't been followed. Scott then rushed inside, where Mitch was waiting for him, grabbing him in an abrupt hug. Scott hugged him back after he locked the front door. "I'm sorry, baby. I think there were Omega Snatchers at the restaurant. I didn't want to freak you out." Mitch moved back, leaving his arms around Scott's neck. "Oh God... Really?" "Really. But nothing happened. So it's okay." Mitch nodded and frowned. "What if I'd gotten taken? Would you come looking for me?" "Are you kidding? I wouldn't be able to do anything else until I found you. I would never stop looking." Mitch smiled a little. "You're so sweet. Kiss me." Scott smiled back and then put his hand on the back of Mitch's neck to kiss him. Mitch put his hands on Scott's face as he kissed him, Scott using his other hand to pull Mitch's body into his own. Scott pulled away for a second, to smile at him. Mitch smiled back widely, and Scott couldn't help himself but to poke one of Mitch's dimples. Scott leaned down again to kiss the dimple. "You're so adorable, Mitch. I can't even begin to explain it to you." Mitch giggled and tilted his head a little to the side when Scott kissed down his jaw and then down his neck. Scott smiled when he stood up straighter. Mitch held onto Scott's waist when he tried to move away. "Can we cuddle? Mitchie needs some cuddles." "Of course we can, Sweetheart. Go to our room, okay? I just need to talk to Kevin really quick." Mitch nodded and obeyed immediately. Scott then walked to Kevin's room and knocked quickly. Kevin was pacing back and forth, but opened the door quickly. "Yes?"
