Alpha and Omega

CHAPTER THREE

LEVI'S POV

When I heard the sound of the television coming from inside the home, I was about to type in the password to my door. I stepped in and as expected, I was greeted by Xander, who was listening to the news. I moved into the kitchen without greeting him after closing the door. That doesn't bother him since that's how I am.

"How was patrol?" I heard him ask from the living room. I gulped down a bottle of water and sighed in satisfaction.

"Don't even get me started." I dropped the empty bottle in the recycle bin. I walked out of the kitchen and joined him in the living room. I sat beside him and reached to take off my shoes.

"Why?"

I successfully took off my shoes and I leaned back on the couch. "I met some guy. A very annoying dude."

"And?"

I turned my head to face him and he arched his brow. "He's kinda my...

"Your?"

"Ugh! I can't even say the word. He's kinda my m..ma..m..

"Your mate?!"

"Yeah."

"Wow."

He shook his head as he breathed out and I sighed in frustration. "I know, right? The guy is so annoying. I mean, why would I be mated to a guy when I'm not attracted to guys?"

"You can reject him, right? Does he seem to be interested in you? Who am I kidding? The fact that you're mates make you guys automatically attracted to eachother."

"I'm not. His face alone makes me sick."

"Everyone's face makes you sick, Levi. That's just you. In no time, you'll get attached to him and...

"No. Just no. Don't say anything like that. I don't want a mate. Even if I do want one, it wouldn't be a guy or him. Just imagine that guy telling me I'm not his type."

"Oops. Seems the both of you don't want this to work. How about you reject eachother? It would be a mutual thing."

"That's the problem. I have a feeling that guy would be like a weed, difficult to get rid of. He came to the base tonight, saying he wanted to join the team."

"So did he make the team?"

"Kinda. Temporarily though."

Xander chuckled and patted my back. "Your story is quite interesting."

I snorted and walked out of the living room, heading for my room. When I arrived to my room, I stripped off all of my clothes and was only wearing my briefs. I sighed deeply when my sight met my reflection in the mirror. I felt like punching my body as I glanced at it in the mirror. I've always despised the way I looked. I'm not like the other guys out there because of who I am. I have a mushy, feminine form instead of a hard rock body. Although I have abs and back muscles, one would mistake my figure for that of a woman. I've seen other guys' bodies, and they don't look anything like mine..

"You gotta stop this, Levi."

I shifted my gaze away from the mirror as Elene spoke. I put on a white hoodie and a pair of black sweatpants. I let my hair fall loosely on my shoulder after unpacking it. My hair grows rapidly and longer no matter how much I cut it. It makes me look feminine, which I despise. I was about to pick up my face moisturizer from my dressing table when I noticed the alpha fragrance Xander had created for me.

"You know you're hurting me, Levi."

"Elene, please just go to sleep."

"Go to sleep while you're here, hating yourself and pretending to be something you're not? When are you going to accept who you are? When are you going to accept me? There is nothing wrong in being an...

"Please! Please just stop! f*****g stop it!"

"Levi...

In a fit of rage, I blocked her away from reaching me. I returned to the living room, but Xander was nowhere to be found. I went into the kitchen to find him cooking dinner. I'm not sure where I'd be if it weren't for Xander. I often ponder what my life would have been like if Xander hadn't been born. From the time I was a year old until I was ten years old, I lived in an orphanage. Xavier stepped in to save me and adopted me. He accepted me into his family as his brother. Since then, we've been together. He's ten years my senior, but we communicate as if we're the same age.

"Why are you standing there? Come on, have a seat."

I sat on one of the stools and he pushed a plate of scrambled eggs to me. I picked up my fork and began eating.

"Damn! It's November already. A month more and the year 3000 will begin. What do you think, Levi? I have some places planned out for us to go on a New year's trip. If you have...

"I don't care. Anywhere is fine."

I picked my plate of food and walked out of the kitchen. I took a seat on the couch and increased the volume of the TV.

***One of the special squads assembled by the government caught three alphas in their mid-thirties. These three alphas were apprehended by Team Red just in time before they could have their way with a twenty-year-old omega girl. This young lady expressed her gratitude via...

I proceeded to eat my food while changing the channel on the television. Omega rapists are messed up. The majority of these rapists are alphas for whatever reason. This crisis began a few months ago, when the number of omega r**e cases suddenly increased. Thankfully, the number of r**e cases has decreased, but there are still some jerks out there.

I glanced at the clock. It was eleven o'clock in the evening. When I finished eating, I returned the plate to the kitchen and went to my room to sleep. I unblocked Elene and said goodnight to her.

"Goodnight and I hope you dream of our mate."

"Shut up or I'll block you again."

THE NEXT DAY

NOLAN'S POV

"Nolan!" I turned when I heard my name called. It had to be Akira. Along with Kingston, he was waving at me. They were both sitting with the rest of the team on the field. I came to the football field for some alone time, but that won't be possible again. I jogged over to them and sat down with them.

"What are you doing here?" Kingston asked.

"I came here to rest my head. I never thought lectures could be so annoying."

"What faculty are you?" Mikel, one of the boys, asked.

"Arts" Akira replied before I could say a word.

"I don't think you've grown accustomed to us. Maybe we should introduce ourselves. As you know, I'm Kingston, this is Mikel, that guy is Gaston and he's Merlin."

I waved to each of them as Kingston introduced. Seems I'm the youngest among them because they are all my seniors.

"How old are you?" Mikel asked.

"Twenty."

"Whoa. You're just a kid but you seem more mature. I thought you would be twenty three or something. Did you see how tall this guy looked in front of Levi?"

"I'm not that tall. I'm just 6'0."

"Six foot? You're almost as tall as Kingston." Gaston said and I smiled.

"Don't you have any lectures after now?" Akira asked as he dusted a leaf out of my hair.

"I do but not until 2p.m. Did you do your hair? It looks better than yesterday."

"Thought you wouldn't notice."

I ruffled his hair and he glared at me. Merlin coughed loudly and I arched my brow.

"What was that all about?" Akira asked.

"Are you guys couples or mates or...?"

"No, why would you assume that?" I asked.

"I don't think I'm the only one assuming that, Nolan."

"Mikel is right. At first, I thought you guys were a couple." Kingston said and I laughed.

"This dude is just my best friend."

"But you like him, don't you, Nolan?" Gaston teased, wiggling his eyebrows. I shook my head and pulled Akira closer.

"I don't. Or do you like me, Akira?"

Akira squeezed up his face and pushed my face away. "It's not like that guys. No one likes anybody here." Akira said and Gaston nodded.

"But where is Levi?" I asked.

"Of all people you wanna ask of, it's Levi? Maybe it's because you're new here but Levi is kinda...how do I put this? He doesn't associate with people." Kingston said and I grimaced.

"He told you that?" I asked and Akira nodded.

"Levi is a really brutally honest person. If he doesn't like you, he'll tell you straight to your face that he hates your guts, and if he likes you, which can never happen, he'll also tell you that he does. That's just his thing. He doesn't like company so he told us straight that he hates association." Mikel said and I nodded. Even though I was unable to accept that Levi doesn't like company.

"And you all decided not to associate with him because he said that? Why?"

"Why not? Let's leave this Levi topic." Akira said and I huffed. Gaston glanced at his wrist watch and said, "It's half past twelve. Let's go eat."

We all left the field for the cafeteria. As we got our lunches, I couldn't stop thinking about what the guys said about Levi. Is Levi really a sadist?

"Akira, do you know anything Levi likes to eat? Like he's favourite lunch or something?"

"Um..he likes this particular banana milk drink. He takes it every afternoon."

"Thanks. I owe you one."

I left thier midst and rushed to the vending machine.

LEVI'S POV

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

I leaned closer to the boy in front of me and I said, "Look, I don't do guys."

He raised his head and I almost scoffed at the sight of his teary eyes. "But...please accept my gift." He stretched the chocolate box in his hands to me and I pushed it back.

"For your own good, Dennis, just stay the hell away from me."

I shifted my gaze away from him, oblivious to his pleas. I returned to my class and walked back to my seat. I rested my head on the desk, attempting to sleep. Before I knew it, I was enjoying my alone time when I felt a touch on the shoulder. With a deadly gaze, I raised my head. What the f**k does this dude want this time? And why does he always smile so brightly?

"What?" I demanded, not allowing him to open his mouth. He sat on the chair opposite me and said, "Why are you here? You should come have lunch with the us."

"No."

I made to lay back my head on the desk but he stopped me. "Why?"

Okay, I'm getting really irritated by this guy. I leaned back on my chair and pointed at the door.

"Get out."

"What if I don't want to? Gonna carry me?"

"What's your deal?"

"Nothing. Just having a not so great conversation with my leader."

"Leader?"

"Yup. You're the leader of my team, aren't you? Or you don't want me to call you that? Do you prefer your name, leader?"

Never in my life have I had such a long and annoying conversation with anyone. Ever!

"You make me sick."

"I don't feel so great with you either. Anyway, I came to give you this."

He stretched my favourite fruit juice to me and I arched my brow.

"Aish! Don't give me that look. This is just to thank you for letting me into the team."

"Temporarily."

"Whateves. Now take it."

I took it from him with one final glance. I slid it under my desk and waited for him to leave, but he never did. He sat opposite me, smiling brightly.

"Aren't you gonna leave?"

"Leader, wanna be friends?"

Okay, it's official, I'm gonna be the cause of this guy's death in the end. Was he sent to annoy me or what's his deal? I shifted my gaze away from him and I heard him ask again,

"Leader, you're not answering my question. Or you don't wanna be friends with me?"

"Exactly."

"Why?"

"Because I hate your face."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

He stood up and walked to the door. He paused and turned his head, "Just so you know, I'm gonna be friends with you, whether you like it or not."

He finally left and I thanked my stars. That guy is such a pest!
