Chapter Twenty Two

A/N: You might not hate me as much anymore because it's a happy chapter!:D

(WARNINGS: An amazing Scott...and Avi...and Kevin!)

It was around eleven at nighttime when Avi tried to get a hold of the Council member that managed the tests. The place Scott and Avi went to is a number of hours away so they had to leave the night before. They left at nine, two whole hours of driving. Scott concentrated on the road, feeling like he forgot something. He kissed Mitch goodbye and then he left, closing the door. He widened his eyes when he realized what he forgot...

I didn't lock the door.

"Yes, it's Avriel Kaplan from Scott Hoying's Pack. I was wondering where the test is today?" Avi asked, looking at Scott and wondering why he seemed distressed. The answer he received almost made his heart stop entirely. "What do you mean it's not until two weeks from now?! I mean, thank you. Sorry for the confusion."

Avi then hung up, sighing deeply. He remembered Jeremy and shook his head, wanting to punch the window.

"The test isn't until two weeks from now," Avi muttered angrily, not noticing how Scott's grip tightened the steering wheel. "Jeremy probably wrote on our calendar pretending that it was us. We could check on Mitch."

"I forgot to lock the door," Scott murmured, his grip tightening more. He hit his lip to keep himself from yelling. "I forgot to lock the door."

"The front door?" Avi asked, raising an eyebrow. "I'm pretty sure Kir-."

"No, my bedroom door," Scott interrupted, turning the car around quickly. Avi didn't even care that he did it at a road that did not allow U-turns. "Mitch is by himself."

"And Kirstin and Jeremy are there," Avi whispered, widening his eyes. No way would he let anyone hurt the young Omega he considered a younger brother. "Drive, Scott, drive!"

And Scott drove faster than he ever did.

Kevin and Alyssa smiled at each other, two o' clock in the morning making them tired but happy to be in each other's arms. The female Beta sighed happily as she hugged her Mate, the ring on her finger symbolizing their love.

"I'm so happy that I get to call yoj my love," Alyssa commented as she slipped out of his embrace. The couple shared a kiss and she waved goodbye as she went to her car. "I'm sorry I can't stay. Inspections, haha."

"It's okay," Kevin replied, going to unlock the door. He then waved bye to Alyssa, feeling more love than he has in a long time. "Bye, Alyssa."

She waved goodbye once more as she got into her car. She then drove, kind of making Kevin feel isolated. Scott's car then drove up fast and the two Alpha's got out, breathing heavily. Scott went up to door and unlocked it, instantly being met by Mitch's screams.

"Scott, Avi, Kevin! Help!"

"Shut up!"

Kirstin is sitting on the couch, pretending like she didn't hear the conversation. She smirked to herself and didn't even jump when Scott threw something.

"Kevin, you know how to unlock doors with lot a key. Do that now. Avi, call a Council member. Say that's been abuse going on for..." Scott began, stopping to count the hours. He bit his lip as he thought up the number of hours. "About six hours."

They did what they had to do. Kirstin shook her head, look at Scott.

"Boy, leaving your Omega all alone?" She began, only increasing Scott's anger. "You're not such a great Alpha, Scotty. You left your Omega. He's going to lose all his trust in you. You know what we're capable of. This is all your fault."

Scott was about to respond when all the sudden all they heard was someone punching someone else. They stood up and walked to Avi's old room. What Scott saw broke his heart.

Bruises are all over Mitch's little body. There was another bruise forming on his face and blood is dripping from his shirt. He cried heavily into Kevin's chest, thanking him quietly. When Scott saw Jeremy, he almost laughed. The Alpha is passed out.

"Ssh, ssh. It's okay, Mitchy," Kevin reassured, trying his best not to brush a bruise on accident. Mitch sobbed quietly, the pain increasing with every movement. "We're here. It's okay. We're here and we're never going to leave."

"Okay, Sir."

Scott's eyes turned red and he glared at Jeremy's passed out form. Whatever happened between that good-for-nothing Alpha and his gentle Omega turned Mitch back to his old self. He was expecting a Beta Kevin or something like that but not Sir! Avi ran in, his hand on Kirstin's arm.

"They're coming in no time," Avi confirmed, not letting go. Kirstin tried to escape, but her movements could not release Avi's grip. "You're going to be locked up for a long time."

"Whatever! He deserves it. Maybe he'll start acting like a go-."

Avi grabbed a sock and stuffed it into her mouth. They all stayed in the room, the only sounds being the fan's small whirring it makes when it spins, Mitch's cries, and Kevin's reassurances. In no time, a Council member arrived, snapping his fingers at the police. They then went up to passed out Jeremy and Kirstin and after getting Jeremy up, the couple got arrested, leaving the four members of the Pack by themselves.

"I suggest you take him everywhere," the Council member demanded, looking towards the Omega. The Council member then left and Scott went up to Mitch instantly.

"Mitchy, baby?" Scott asked, putting his hands gently on Mitch's cheeks. "Baby, it's okay. I'm here."

"I know, Sir."

"You don't have to call me that," Scott reassured, brushing the Omega's hair back. "You are never going to be hurt ever again. I promise."

"Okay," Mitch whispered, smiling through the pain. He then hugged Scott tightly, sighing happily. "Thank you for saving me, my Prince Erik."

Scott smiled as he hugged the Omega back and looked at Kevin and Avi who are both smiling as well despite what happened tonight.

"You're welcome, my Princess Ariel."

~~~

After Kevin cleaned up the new injuries, Mitch fell asleep in Scott's embrace. Scott sighed to himself, wondering why he would ever leave Mitch with people like that. He shook his head, blaming himself.

"Guys?" He called out, catching Kevin and Avi's attention. "It's my fault. Mitch wouldn't be hurt if I just stayed with him or locked the door."

"No it's not," Avi defended, sitting down. He sighed himself as she saw the sleeping Omega. "It just happened. You forgot to lock the door. Don't blame yourself."

"But he still got hurt!"

"He wouldn't want you to blame yourself," Kevin reassured, yawning a bit. "It's okay, Scott. We all have those kinds of days. Don't blame yourself. Mitchy wouldn't want you to do that."

Scott sighed to himself as he hugged Mitch tighter. They got a point. Mitch wouldn't want that. The Alpha then felt his eyes get heavy and shut them, making sure that he didn't hurt Mitch when he laid down on the couch. He felt a blanket and he smiled, subconsciously hugging Mitch tighter. He didn't get to see it, but after he did that, Mitch smiled in his sleep, feeling protected. Kevin and Avi shared their own smiles with one another.

"Do you still ship it?"

"Of course. They're Mates for a reason."

And then all was good for the Pack.

A/N: Well, it's sort of happier, lol. There's going to be a lot of Scomavin moments now and I am living for it. I hope you all will hate me a little less, lol. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and remember that I love you all!!!:D
