Kai would admit that Bryn was attractive. She had a natural glowing tan, her hair was a light brown that cascaded past her shoulders in loose curls that were currently unkempt but it still managed to look good. She had the most unique and beautiful sea foam eyes that held you in place and lips that were thick and luscious, one would think she wore lipstick but her lips were naturally vibrantly pink.

Her style was also something to look at. She wore a black bandeau with a simple heart at the center with shorts that were ripped and accompanying her look were vibrant yellow Vans that outwardly looked like it didn’t match but it went with it in her own Bryn way. Kai appreciated someone with good style and Bryn had that.

Bryn held Kai’s elbow, her face bright with enthusiasm as she was going to invite him to go on a date with her before Declan ripped her dainty hands off his mate and tossed her hand like it was toxic waste. Declan grabbed Kai roughly, moving him to his side and away from Bryn who scowled at Declan.

« Don’t fucking touch what isn’t yours, princess, » Declan seethed, his blood boiling just thinking the abomination that Bryn is touched his mate.

« You don’t claim him, he probably doesn’t even like you, » Bryn spat back.

Kai was looking between Bryn and Declan who were violently and very aggressively arguing and it looked like it would turn into something much more serious. Aside from that, Kai was shook that people were actually fighting over him. He felt like that last cookie on the plate that everyone wanted.

Their argument was cut short as Chris appeared. His ears caught the argument and he dreaded having to be the one to interrupt said argument but Marcus heard the fight and called, ‘not it,’ on getting Declan so Chris was forced to go down and get the Beta by the sacred ‘not it,’ laws.

« Declan, » Chris called out.

Chris’s presence was now noticed but with regret at the venomous glare Declan wore. He looked like he was prepared to chew someone’s head off and rip off their limbs and feed the discards to his nonexistent dog.

« What ?! » Declan barked, his wolf slipping.

Bryn brought the highest level of rage and jealousy out of Declan. He didn’t want her anywhere near his mate because simply the sound of her flirting with Kai drove him insane. It would be the Beta’s nightmare to see Kai taken from him or witness him madly in love with someone who just wasn’t him. It crushed him.

« Killian needs to speak with you, » Chris flinched slightly as he felt Declan’s anger rolling off him waves.

« Anger issues or what, » Bryn remarked with snark.

This was Declan’s breaking point but before he could explode, someone else did.

« Will you just shut the fuck up ? » Kai yells with pure annoyance in his eyes.

Bryn was surprised, her wide eyes a telltale sign.

« Honestly, I think sucking Declan’s dick would be better than spending any sort of time with you, » Kai spat.

Bryn was gapping like a fish, unable to say anything.

« Rule of thumb, » Kai smiled his usual fake smile and approached Bryn, his face close to hers, « first come, first serve. I’m most definitely sure Declan was first. »

The amount of admiration that filled Declan’s eyes was incomparable to anything else as he watched his mate in awe. The Beta’s anger subsided and he could only watch his mate tare Bryn to shreds.

« I may or may not be gay but I sure as hell wouldn’t mind being gay if it meant I’m with Declan and not with you, » Kai’s tone dripped with sweetness that contradicted heavily with the words he spoke.

« B-b-but—«

« B-b-but What ? » Kai mocked the girl who glared with tears filling her eyes.

« You’re my mate ! » Her voice cracked.

While everything was a rioting mess in the living room, on the opposite side of the floor was a relaxed Elliot who was playing with the Xbox that Vera bought him. Elliot felt like the luckiest boy in the world with Vera constantly finding someway to spoil him. Whether it was making him batches after batches of pastries or buying him things, Elliot was never lacking in the affection department in the pack house.

Vera adored Elliot as soon as she saw him and she wanted to do everything in her power to make him happy. In her mind, Elliot wasn’t living a happy life back at his ex pack so she wanted to do what she could so his remaining childhood was one he could enjoy. Though, she hasn’t been spoiling him much lately as she has her own children now, she makes up for it by forcing Chris to act like an older brother to Elliot.

Chris didn’t mind, Elliot was a cool kid. He was a bit indifferent at times but he was mostly fun to be around. Aside from Finnick, Elliot was heavily innocent and that’s what made him adorable and usually what made everyone treat him like he was there own child.

Chris was hanging out with Elliot when he disappeared to go retrieve Declan for Killian who was still discussing with Elijah pack construction plans. Killian pack linked Declan multiple times but Declan was so heated that he wasn’t receiving anything and so Killian mind linked Chris and Marcus to get him, Chris being the one to do so.

Not effected much by Chris’s disappearance, Elliot continued to play Fornite until he lost and decided to grab a snack from the kitchen. The omega stands, adjusting his shirt and begins his journey to the kitchen.

His eyes cast down, he turns a corner and hears the sound of a door being shut. Catching the sound, he lifts his head and his eyes catch Elijah’s. The small boy was going to resume in his path to the kitchen but Elijah’s stare seems to hold him in place. The omegas face flushes at the look that captured the alphas face.
