“You don’t even know what I was going to say.”

“I can hear it in your voice and the answer is still no.”

“Why not?” Blaine asked. “You wanted me to come and live with you not long ago. You practically begged me.”

“That’s before I…”

“You fucked your alpha,” Blaine said.

“Aggg… why are you so vulgar?”

Blaine giggled. He could literally hear Holi’s blush through the connector. “You need to get over that. You’re not innocent anymore. And don’t worry. I don’t want to live with you either. I just…” Blaine closed his eyes. Fuck, why was it so hard to ask for help? And why did he mess up everything in his life? It was like he was a magnet for disaster.

No. He was more like kindling for disaster. One spark and everything went up in smoke. He couldn’t help himself. Whenthings went well in his life, he got bored and had to ruin it. He was addicted to chaos.

Things had been better when he was with Holi. When he was with his friend he hadn’t had to think about much or focus on himself or his family or the burden that was on his shoulders. Holi grounded him somehow. Blaine had barely thought about his family when he had been with Holi. He’d hardly missed them either.

But now he missed them so much.

Three of his omega brothers were assigned to commune houses around the planet this year and Blaine didn’t have to support them financially; only his mother and the remaining three. But he still worried about them. Blaine hoped they were doing better than he was. Well, they probably were. He was the reckless one. The one to jump into trouble headfirst without thinking.

“You what?” Holi asked softly.

“Can you please ask Xaine to find me a commune?” he asked.

“Yes, of course,” Holi was quick to say. “We’ll figure out the rest once you’re settled in a commune. When are you supposed to leave?”

“Tomorrow.”

“That soon?”

“Yeah.”

“Hold on a second,” Holi said.

Blaine grimaced.

It was short notice, but he had no other option. The alpha wanted him out of his house as soon as possible. Blaine could go to the authorities in the hope that there was a commune house with an opening around the capital. But there usually wasn’t one. And omegas who couldn’t be placed in a commune house were taken to a halfway house.

The halfway houses were horrible and crowded. Blaine had had the misfortune of going there once, after he’d fought with his alpha of the time. Blaine had grown up with a lot of siblings, but even he couldn’t stand the lack of privacy and resources at the halfway house. It had been horrible.

You’d think he would have learnt his lesson and would not find himself in such a situation again.

But noooo… he had to ruin his life… again.

Maybe I have a screw missing in my head, Blaine thought as he listened to Holi speak to Xaine in the background. The alpha’s gruff voice came through. Blaine pressed the connector harder to his ear to hear him better, but he still couldn’t hear him clearly.

Was he going to help him again? An anxious feeling twisted Blaine’s insides.

The alpha had done so much for him, even though he didn’t have to. Blaine was nothing to Xaine Covus. Blaine was Holi’s friend, but that didn’t mean that Xaine should take care of him too.

Maybe he should go to the authorities and wait for an opening in a commune house.

Blaine groaned at the thought of a halfway house: the dirt, the smell, omegas in heat everywhere.

Fuck. I really don’t make it easy on myself, do I?

Now, he was bothering Holi with his problems. And the omega had warned him about his temper and lack of a filter.
