Tristan's Point Of View
"Cmon guys it's over now. Stop pouting." I sighed.
They had all been in an emotional overload since we had left the meeting. I let them take out their anger and frustration and it seemed to only make it worse. I plopped down on the bed, and heaved a tired sigh, as Ferdinand, Sylvester, and Bellamy headed to the bathroom to clean up.
"Cooooole!" I groaned with my eyes closed.
I felt the bed dip and felt him lay his head next to mine. It was strange, even with him this close to me I couldn't sense any negative emotions at all.
"Cole. What's on your mind?" I asked, hoping to gage how he was feeling.
"You didn't let me get to hit anyone... I'm angry too you know? Am I just not capable enough for you?" He murmured.
My eyes snapped open in an instant, my mouth agape. It hadn't been my intention to hurt him in such a way, but the reason I had for not allowing him to hit anyone would probably make things worse.
"It's not like that at all! But hearing you say that now... I can't tell you the real reason I didn't want you to hit anyone... You'll definitely be mad at me... I'm sorry if I hurt you in any way... that was never my intention..." I said, kissing his face all over.
"Will you please tell me?" He asked, as I kissed his face.
"Haaah... You promise not to get mad at me?" I asked, hesitantly.
"I promise..." He replied.
"I don't want your hands to ever be used for violence. I want them to always comfort me, instead..." I said, taking his hand and putting it against my cheek.
I could tell that he hadn't been expecting that answer, because he was just staring at me in shocked confusion.
The others emerged from the bathroom after cleaning themselves up, and began to pack. No one was saying a word, and I was starting to get irritated. Because no matter how quiet they were, our bond was loud as hell.
"Okay. I am not flying to StohneGarrdin like this! Either spill it all out now, or pack it in deep! Having these intense emotions inside me that aren't mine, is unnerving as hell!" I said with a glare.
"We should have killed him." Ferdinand huffed.
"Yeah. His laughter is still ringing in my ears. It's unsettling. Like he was the only one in on the joke." Sylvester added.
"He also didn't seem like the type of guy to die out. He's definitely of the cockroach variety. Something will definitely happen with Danhiel's uncle." Bellamy sighed.
"Who cares? When it happens we'll deal with it then." I shrugged.
I couldn't understand why they worried so much, as if they would suddenly become the weakest kids on the playground or something. They were plenty capable, and I wasn't about to lose faith in them now.
"I don't understand how you can be so calm about all of this, Tristan..." Ferdinand sighed.
"Well I've always lived a life of looking over my shoulders. And if I'm being honest, something far more concerning has always been on my mind..." I sighed, curling up next to Cole on the bed.
"Oh? Something like what?" Bellamy asked, amused.
"It doesn't strike you as strange that the government hasn't really been involved with us much after Cole's father died? You expect me to believe he kept me and my location a secret from them? Why hasn't anyone reached out to Cole? How have we had nearly a month of silence from the powers that be? If you ask me, that is the most concerning thing right now." I said, looking up at Cole.
Cole had gone rigid in my arms, and the room had fallen deathly silent. They had been living such carefree lives, but it was something that constantly nagged at me, internally.
"Ho-ly Shi–"
*Knock... Knock... Knock...*
The sudden knock cut Cole's shocked mumble off, and Sylvester went to answer the door. I sat up on the bed and looked between Ferdinand and Bellamy, and they were both making inscrutable faces.
"We're ready Master. Dyahgeo and Rehdgie went to start the Helo. While Hollehen and Nashsten went with Meah, Odehssa, Payhne and the others back to StohneGarrdin already. Also, Tohrque and Lahnsen are here to collect your luggage." Santiago said.
"Is this your Omega? You gonna introduce us or...?" Sylvester teased.
I noticed the Omega tense up in Santiago's arms, and heaved a weary sigh. I stood up from the bed and made my way to the door.
"Hello, I'm Tristan. This is Sylvester, Cole, Bellamy, and Ferdinand. They are my mates. What's your name?" I asked, coming to a stop in front of them.
I was momentarily stunned, he was so adorably beautiful, that I became speechless.
"Uhm... I-I'm... Synnahmen..." He whispered quietly.
"Oh My Stars and Garters!! He's so adorable!! It's nice to meet you! Would you like to be my friend!?" I asked, taking him by the hand.
Santiago set him down immediately and backed up a bit. Synnahmen looked around nervously at the Alphas behind me.
"Don't worry about them. They would never do anything to piss me off. I don't have any Omega friends, so I'd love to be friends. What do you say?" I said, leading him out of the room and down the hall.
"Uh... uhm... okay. Where are we going?" He asked timidly.
"To our new home. I haven't seen it yet. But I've been told it's massive." I smiled.
"You've never been? Isn't it your home, though?" He asked, confused.
"Well it's kind of a long story. But our old house burned down, and we just moved to StohneGarrdin during the meeting. My siblings are there. I have two sisters named Sable and Arrisa. And two brothers, named Delcain and Kaleb." I said, beginning to ramble.
I was so excited to have a new friend, that I didn't even realize the awkward looks he was giving me....

Synnahmen's Point Of View
I was at a total loss. This Omega was so beautiful and so friendly, I couldn't keep up. I was just helplessly being dragged around by him, and if I was being honest... I didn't hate it. He was so warm and welcoming, I didn't know how to interact with him. So I just let him talk and take me where he wanted.
"So, Synnahmen. How old are you?" He asked, as we climbed the last flight of stairs.
"Oh, uhm... I'm 16..." I replied.
Tristan immediately stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face me. His face was awash in sorrow and anger. He pulled me into a tight hug, and I noticed that he was trembling softly.
"I'm sorry that you had to go through such a harsh childhood. Please stay with us for as long as you want. I promise to look after you." He said, looking directly into my eyes.
He was slightly taller than me, but I couldn't help but notice the tears that had formed in his eyes.
"Y-Yeah... Thank you..." I studdered out.
"Well no more dark and gloomy. Let's go forth to our new lives, together." Tristan said with a big smile.
We climbed into the helicopter and got seated. Tristan snuggled up beside me. I couldn't help but tense up, as I noticed the angry glares I was getting from Tristan's mates.
"If you jerks don't direct your jealousy somewhere else, you'll be flying in a different helicopter." Tristan said, not looking up at the Alphas.
They, in turn, turned to glare at Santiago instead. It would be comical, if they weren't so frikkin terrifying.
"I don't know what you could possibly be jealous about. He made a friend, without needing to leave the house. He's trustworthy, and a good guy. I think it's great." Santiago said, with a big smile.
"Keep it up, and you'll be strapped to the tail of this Helo." The orange haired Alpha grumbled.
"Either get in and sit down, or go away. You guys keep finding new ways to irritate me today, and you're making Synnahmen uncomfortable." Tristan said, angrily.
His eyes were so bright and beautiful, the sight was mesmerizing. I couldn't stop looking at them. That is until one of the Alphas covered his eyes with his large hand.
"Okay. We get it. Don't get so worked up. I'm sorry..." The Alpha said giving Tristan a kiss.
"You guys throw tantrums at the worst times..." Tristan sighed.
"I'm sorry for causing so many problems..." I murmured.
"No! Don't apologize! It's definitely not your fault. I promise. Just sit back and relax." Tristan said, reassuringly.
I didn't know what else to say, but it didn't matter. I was just glad they stopped glaring at me. Santiago sat beside me to my left, and kissed my temple. I leaned into his warmth, and sighed.
"Alright boss. We are all packed up and ready to go." A blonde man said, as he climbed into the helicopter.
"Let's go home boys. I'm fucking tired." The orange haired Alpha said with a sigh.
I was nervous and excited at the same time. I wasn't sure what the future would hold for me, but I was just happy that they didn't hate me.... Well, hopefully...
