Alexander's POV
It's been a few hours since the omega came, and I haven't seen Michael since he walked away. I need to see and talk to him. I can't even know what he is feeling right now because he has blocked me out, again, and as much as I hate it when he does that, he has started lowering his guard around me more and more and has let me feel what he feels like I let him, that is nice but I feel like the entry of this omega would lead everything to go back to square one, all the progress I made with Micheal regarding our relationship and his emotions.
I was searching for Michael around the pack house when I saw him in the garden sitting on his favorite spot on the bench. I slowly walked to him and sat down beside him.
"Hey," I spoke in a low voice and looked at him.
"Hey.." He didn't look at me but leaned his head on my shoulder, which is also an achievement if you ask me.
"Are you okay?" I asked, wrapping my arm around his waist and pulling him closer.
"Yeah... It's just that seeing Omega like that brought make memories. Nothing much," he whispered near my ear. It's clear that he doesn't want everyone or anyone other than me to know how he feels. I wonder why he always keeps his emotions in him like a secret. Is he embarrassed by them?
"We don't have to meet if you don't want to, Michael," I whispered in his ear, but he shook his head.
"I want the omega to feel welcome like I was. I don't want him to feel unwelcome because he is from my previous pack and they have done mean things to me, but they have also done mean things to him. He's a victim, just like I am." Michael looked at me with those rare puppy eyes, he only shows those eyes when he really wants something, and this is only the third time I have seen him use these eyes. It must mean a lot to him if he is showing those eyes to me.
"Alright. But if his mate is from another pack, then he is leaving," I said in a way that sounded stern.
Michael smiled widely and nodded at me, then hugged me tightly. I hugged him back with the same tightness. I will never stop feeling how good it feels to have him happy and in my arms; it's the best feeling ever.
"Is it okay to feel inscure that everyone will love him more than me and maybe want him to be the luna because he is an omega and can give birth?" the words were a very low whisper even when his face was near my ears but I heard them all, I heard them loud and clear and honestly, I am glad he is willing to share his insecurity with me like this.
"They won't. They love you for who you are," I whispered in his ear, patting his head.
"But they like me as their beta more," he mumbled again, and for some reason, I think I can feel him pouting. I have never seen him pout.
"You know, when I told my friends that I like you when I was a late teenager, they laughed at me and told me that you are out of my league, but if you were to become an amazing luna," I whispered in his ear.
He broke the hug and looked at me.
"Really?" He asked with a questioning look that says he doesn't believe me.
"Yes, everyone loves you and wants you as their luna. Our pack doesn't have a definite rule that the bloodline can only be the next head alpha or luna," I smiled.
He frowned. "What do you mean?"
"My grandfather? He was the adopted child of his parents because the luna died during childbirth, and the child was so weak that she died within a week."
He gasps, but I just smile and pull him closer.
"We can always adopt, there are so many pups we can adopt" I booped his nose making him scoff because he hates it when I do that, makes him think he is weak or some shit but for me it's just cute.
