Chapter 15: Snowdrop

"How fast can he run?"

"Faster than a cheetah."

The general rubbed his chin, "I want to see."

The man nodded, calling Harry over. The teen walked over, hands at his sides, "yes, sir?"

"General Matthews would like to see you run."

"Yes sir." Harry bowed his head, "as a wolf or in the flesh, sir?"

The general tilted his head slightly, "let me see how fast you can run in the flesh, then I will see your wolf."

"Yes sir." Harry turned around, squatting slightly before running across the plain of grass.

The general stood up straight, "he is –very fast."

The man smiled smugly, crossing his arms. "Harry is the fastest wolf I have ever met."

Matthews crossed his arms as well, stuck in awe at how far Harry had gotten in less than five seconds. "I –want him under my team –I will make him in a leader if his skills are as impressive as that."

"Yes sir."

The general shook his head, "impossible –but he has done it." He kept an eye on how swiftly, and quietly, Harry ran through the tall grass. "His speed is incredible."

"Omega!" Zayn waved with the children at his side. His wave fell short when Liam finally stood in front of him, Louis clinging to his arm.

"Mama! Hi mama!" Abraham ran through and through his legs excitedly. "Baba said you are coming to the beach!"

"Yes baby." Louis touched Abraham's head, "I am here."

"Mama, look!" Abraham held up a piece of seaweed. "Zayn said I can't take it home."

Louis kept an eye on the serious alpha, slowly kneeling to his child's level. "Well, he is right, we will not take that home."

"Okay, mama." Abraham put it in his bucket anyway before running a few feet to Isaac.

"Liam."

Louis shivered although his name was not said.

The pregnant omega lifted his head, "alpha."

"What is wrong?"

The omega looked briefly at Louis who was rubbing the back of his neck.

"We saw Louis' ex-alpha –he grabbed him."

Zayn's eyes sank making him look deadly, "and where is he?"

Liam swallowed hard, "gone."

"And you did not call for me –did he touch you?"

"No," Liam bowed his head when Zayn touched his stomach. "Only Louis –I did hit him."

Zayn left his hand on Liam's belly, now looking at Louis. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, yes. It was not a big deal." Liam gave him a funny look. "CJ is a joke –he is stupid, and I don't even want to think about him."

Zayn stepped closer to him, "where did he touch you?"

Louis' blushed, looking down from the caramel colored eyes. "My –my neck."

The alpha looked back at the children, "we will wait for Harry, he is getting the children a drink." Zayn eyes cut low, "you will speak with him."
