Chapter 192

Avi grabbed his forearm as he walked past him. "Where the Hell do you think you're going? You're on bed rest." Scott yanked his arm away and growled at him. "Don't tell me what to do. I just asked you not to talk about me like I can't hear you, and the request wasn't even out of my mouth for three seconds before you two started doing it again." "I'm sorry, Scott. We're just trying to do what's best for--" "Well maybe I don't need a babysitter!" "I'm not babysitting you. That's the last thing I want to do." Avi grabbed a handful of Scott's shirt to push him back a few inches. "But these Betas are trying to help you in a time of need. So sit your ass down and shut up." Red filled Scott's eyes quickly, but before his temper could spill over, the blue flooded back in as Scott took a deep breath. "Fine. But get the fuck out of my sight." Mitch felt bad for Avi getting yelled at for something that was also half his fault. He stood up slowly. "Alpha, he didn't do anything wrong. Please just calm down... You're not acting like yourself." Scott couldn't bear to look at him, as his gaze fell down to his feet. "Really? You too?" "I'm not attacking you. I'm just trying to help you realize what you're doing." Scott closed his eyes all of a sudden. "I just need to be left alone. Okay?" Todrick immediately rushed toward the door, Kevin right behind him, as they eagerly obeyed the Alpha's request. Avi waited for them to go, before bringing it up again. "Why are you behaving this way? What happened?" "You couldn't understand. Get the Hell out." "Not until you talk to me like your superior Alpha." Scott scoffed, and looked back up at him. "Oh, good move. Pull Rank. That'll make me feel better." Avi tilted his head, not used to this attitude from Scott. "God, what is the matter with you?" Scott finally couldn't control the rage that filled his eyes with fire, as his head snapped up to meet Avi's eye line. "What's the matter with me? Are you fucking kidding me? I just had to tell the love of my life, my deepest darkest secret. Now my head hurts, and my hand is fucking useless, and you're treating me like a child. What the fuck do you think is the matter with me?" "Hey, easy. Calm down, kid." Okay.. The nickname was an accident. It truly was. "I'm not a fucking kid!" Scott shouted, giving Avi's shoulders a shove. "I'm the strongest Alpha in the fucking world, so why does everyone keep treating me like a fucking doormat?!" Avi didn't let the aggression faze him, and he took a step forward, rather than one away. "Because you let them, Scott. You let people take advantage of how nice you are. If you want to be treated as the Strongest, then stand up and act like it." "How can you say that to me? When you're the one that bosses me around as if I don't matter. You just tell me what to do all the time, and expect me to--" "No I do not. You have more freedom than anyone in this household." "That is not true. You let Kirstie do whatever she fucking wants with no restraint at all. Kirstie lies to you about taking suppressants and gets an hour of isolation. All Mitch has to do is breathe a little sass in your direction, and he gets fucking caned." Scott growled at him, his hands clenching at his sides as if he was ready to punch someone. "He asked for the cane, Scott! I told him it was too harsh of a punishment, but he disagreed! He practically begged me for it!" "You didn't have to do it, you dumb fuck! If Mitch asked me to slap him across the face, I wouldn't give in just because he's begging me!" Avi pushed Scott's chest. "Don't call me names! You're losing sight of what we're arguing about." "You're just mad because I'm making a point. A damn good one too! How come Kirstie and Alex can do the same incorrect thing, but Kirstie gets an hour of alone time and Alex gets fucking hypothermia?" "Because he's the one that gave the pills to her! He should've known better than--" "She should've known better than to ask! She's the one that started it, but you punished the other Omega just because he's not the one you're married to!" Avi shoved Scott one more time. "Shut the fuck up! You don't know anything about being a Lead!" "I think I have it figured out, actually. Be an asshole to everyone, and punish all the Omegas that aren't currently having sex with you." Avi grit his teeth and shoved Scott again, but this time Scott bumped into Mitch, sufficiently elbowing the Omega in the ribs. Scott felt the pain of his Omega pulse through his veins, and he flipped around to face him immediately. "I'm so sorry, baby. Are you okay?" Mitch smiled a little at the concern written all over Scott's face, amused with how quickly his tone changed. "Yes, Sir. I'm okay." Scott's features darkened again, as he turned back to Avi and snarled at him. "Get. Out."
