No. He hated him. Of course he hated him.

“Are you coming?” Professor Douche asked from the door.

Blaine nodded and followed him.

Chapter 4

Wayden

“Are you coming?”Wayden asked staring at Blaine’s ashen face.

He’d felt it too then, Wayden thought, rubbing away the electric current that had gone through his fingers and up his arm as soon as he’d grasped Blaine’s wrist. Wayden’s fingers still tingled from the simple contact. He balled his hand into a fist, willing the feeling away.

Developing an attraction to the hellion would be a disaster. Wayden could barely control him as it was. He didn’t need to add feelings to an already chaotic situation.

It was probably a fluke anyway. Wayden hadn’t touched an omega in what… Damn… he was going on five years now since… his breakup. No wonder he’d felt like his body was on fire assoon as he’d touched Blaine’s soft skin. Going so long without touching an omega would do that to an alpha.

After Ambrose had dumped him, nothing had felt right. The world had dulled to a depressing grey. Food had tasted like ash in his mouth. Wayden had been devastated. And the day he’d pulled himself out of his depression and devastation, he’d realised one thing: he preferred to be alone, his heart buttoned down behind his hard chest, never to see the light of day.

Wayden glanced over his shoulder at Blaine, his heart going a million beats per second. It was fucking beating right then. And for the worst omega on the planet. Wayden inwardly cringed and looked away. But he couldn’t deny the pounding of his heart in his chest. The hellion was affecting him.

No… no… no… no… never, Wayden thought as he walked into the house.

“This way. My brothers are waiting for you in the office,” Kain said, walking Wayden deeper into the house. Wayden glanced over his shoulder again, making sure Blaine was following them. And to make sure the omega wasn’t causing any trouble. Not that he would. There was no one around. Wayden looked around, wondering where everyone was. The house was too big to only house the four alphas and besides, Wayden could smell other people in the house. The scent was strong, meaning they lived in the house.

They came to a stop outside a closed door that Wayden assumed led to the office. Kain waited for Blaine to catch up. Wayden watched as Kain’s brows pulled in a frown as Blaine took his sweet time. Wayden closed his eyes and prayed for patience. When Blaine finally arrived, Wayden resisted the urge to drag him to his side, and fucking command him to behave. But Wayden wasn’t the omega’s alpha. He couldn’t tell him what to do.

Shit. They were barely a day in, and Wayden was regretting his decision. Matews had warned him.

“Shall we?” Kain asked, opening the door.

Wayden nodded and walked through the door.

“Professor Mephis and his assistant have arrived,” Kain announced to the room. Three alphas and a gorgeous omega stood up from the two couches in the room. The largest alpha walked towards Wayden; the omega followed a few paces behind. Wayden’s eyes fell on the other alphas. They hung back too. Kain also went to stand there with them. The hierarchy within their pack was obvious.

“I’m Professor Mephis and this is my assistant, Blaine.” Wayden stepped forward to shake the alpha’s hand. “Thank you for allowing us into your pack.”

“Don’t mention it. It’s not every day we have someone of your calibre interested in our way of life. I would love to hear more about your research. But first things first,” the alpha said, turning to the omega behind him. “This is my mate Aidyn. You’ve already met Kain. Next to him are my youngest brothers Gybe and Caleb. And no, they’re not twins. Though sometimes I can’t tell.”

Well, they did kind of look alike, Wayden thought staring at the brothers. “So, I’m guessing you follow the traditional pack order we used to have long ago.”

“Uhhh… straight to the business of the day, I see,” the alpha said with a slight laugh. “Before that… I thought maybe we should give you a minute to freshen up and relax. We have dinner prepared. You can meet the other members of my pack.”

“Yes, no problem,” Wayden said.

“Aidyn,” he said turning to his mate. Aidyn and the alpha smiled sweetly at each other, making Wayden’s heart suddenly squeeze painfully at the sight. Wayden rubbed his chest, looking away. He’d thought he was over that shit. He didn’t need anyonein his life. All these thoughts about Ambrose were messing with his mind. Wayden clenched his jaw, shoving the bitter memories from his past away.

“It’s very nice to meet you,” Aidyn said as he approached Blaine. “I’ll take you to your room.”

Blaine looked over at Wayden, the omega’s eyes narrowing. Wayden held his breath waiting for Blaine to go off. It wasn’t lost on Wayden that Aidyn hadn’t spoken until he was spoken to. And worst of all, Blaine hadn’t been acknowledged by the alphas. They’d practically ignored the omega.

“Put omegas in cages already.”Blaine’s words echoed in Wayden’s mind.

Shit.

Don’t do anything stupid, Wayden silently begged. A tense moment passed between him and Blaine before the omega turned and followed Aidyn out of the room.

Why did it feel like he’d just stepped into a warzone? Wayden asked himself as he stared at Blaine’s back. If eyes could kill, Wayden would be dead by now. The look in Blaine’s eyes before he turned away had promised so much hurt, Wayden was surprised the omega hadn’t exploded there and there. Wayden stared at the door, anxiously. He shouldn’t have fucking brought Blaine here. The omega was going to cause him a lot of trouble.
