"Levi, I'm sorry."

Levi sighed and turned to look down at the brunette on his wheelchair. "It's okay. It's not a big deal."

"It's a big deal!" Eren exclaimed with watery eyes. "I didn't know that married mates had to bond after five years of marriage! I- Captain," the brunette whined when the German Shepard rested his head on his knee, it was obvious that the dog could feel his stress and doing his best to help his master.

"Eren, it's okay. We're married and I don't mind if we bonded early than the norm," Levi reached to lightly ran his fingertips on the bandage on his neck. He took his everything not hiss in pain, the bite still throb and Levi knew that Eren's saliva would help ease the pain but Levi didn't want any of that. He didn't want any of Eren for now.

"Are you sure? I feel like," Eren's frown deepened. "I feel like I disrespect you."

Levi bite back a gasp. Eren's emotions were streaming down at him like a waterfall, now he's sure that the Alpha's concern for him was pure and genuine. And his love for him, the raven couldn't simply swallow it. It was overwhelming to the point that it would make him sick.

Taking a deep breath, Levi took his role and leaned down in front of Eren and peck his lips. "I love you."

And there, that beautiful smile was back on Eren's face and his eyes practically shine. "I love you too."

Captain whined on his knee, Eren chuckled and finally giving the dog his undivided attention. "What is it, boy? Do you want to play? Let's play!"

"Go on, have fun," Levi let him and went back to cooking some breakfast. Once Eren moved to the living area and was busy playing with Captain, Levi simply stared at the tray of eggs on the counter while having a mental breakdown.

Eren marked him. Last night, he got marked. Did Hange know? And Kenny? Hange probably knew now if she's watching the cams the moment Levi stepped out of the bedroom but he never heard from Hange, not even a phone call. And his uncle? Nothing as well!

Levi expected something from them, he begged them to call because now, all he could feel was Eren's genuine emotions and smelling his Alpha's ocean scent mixing well with his natural vanilla scent. Also, the heavy dread in his heart won't go away, if he didn't bend into his inner instincts again this had never happened. But it did.

This was the first time that Levi had no idea or plan on what to do next. His mind was completely blank- no, scratch that, his mind was wrapped around Eren. His inner instincts were demanding to be held once again.

He couldn't. He just couldn't. Levi wanted to be held alright, he wanted to feel Eren's support with touch but, no. He should have listened to his mind and only his mind. Fuck the heart and his inner instincts, all they did was get him in so much trouble, even death! He was now bonded with a psycho!

Levi was simply done. He needed to get his shit straight and probably find a drug that could break the bond or something. Anything!

"This is a disaster," Levi growled and swatted the tray of eggs on the drain. Not caring that he made a mess or destroyed a dozen of good eggs.

The sound certainly grabbed Eren's attention. "Levi? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Levi called out with a cheery voice but he refused to turn around and face the brunette because his face right now screamed murder.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah! My hand slip and tray fell, I'll just borrow some eggs at Hange's!" Levi volunteered and ran to the door, not giving Eren a second glance.

Levi kicked the door like a madman until the hinges almost broke off. "Hange!"

When he didn't get a reply, Levi rounded at the corner and elbowed the glass window, not caring that he cut himself and bleeding on the sleeve of his white button-up shirt. He hoisted himself up the windows and let himself in.

"Hange!" Levi screamed in rage.

"B-Back off!"

Levi paused and started at the wimpy Beta that jumped in the room where Levi entered. He was topless and holding a spatula like a weapon.

"Who the fuck-"

"Moby!" Hange rushed in and stood between the raven Omega and Beta. She smiled nervously at Levi before ushering the Beta. "Moby, darling, thank you for cooking breakfast for me but I'm sorry, you have to leave now."

"What? Um, okay, but who is he? Should I call the police?" The Beta glanced at the raven, his eyes showed fear but it was obvious that he was acting tough.

"No, he's my friend and-" Hange glanced at the raven and gasped at his bleeding elbow. She immediately turned to her friend. "He's hurt! Levi! Are you okay?!"

"Hange," Levi bit his lower lip, his blue-stormy eyes shifted from the Hange and the male Beta. Hange called the guy Mody? The raven figured that that was his best friend's date and it seems like the date went well. It could be the reason why Hange had been so busy and probably not doing her job for the first time. And what about his uncle? Levi had no idea but now, their team was a wreak.

"Hange," Levi sniffed. He could feel the pain on his elbow, the sting on his nape, and Eren's worried emotions were not helping. It was too much. Levi lowered his head and quickly wiped away the tears from his eyes.

"Moby, I'll call you later okay?" Hange offered him an apologetic smile.

"Um, okay," The beta nodded. "I'll be going then."

When Moblit finally left (thankfully the Beta hurried it up), Levi and Hange moved to the living room. Hange was silent while he disinfects Levi's cut and the bonding mark on his nape on the couch.

Levi was a wreak, eyes red and nose from crying. It didn't help that Hange wasn't talking shit. This was the first time that Hange was quiet, it only meant that he fucked up bad.

After this, Levi had no face to show his uncle. Or Recon, he failed. That's was it.

"Levi, did you and Eren?" she asked carefully.

"What about you and that beta?!" Levi hissed at her.

"Granted, we did have sex but I took contraceptives, and you?" Hange spits back at him as she crossed her arms on her defensively.

Levi felt like his world stopped. He leaned forward and covered his mouth, he felt like vomiting in disgust. He was disgusted with himself, he couldn't believe that he forgot about that crucial info. This was it, the end of Levi Ackerman. He should write a resignation letter, live with Eren and if the Alpha gets his memories back, Levi would kill him and probably kill himself after. But what about the kid? If there was a kid in the picture, what would-

"LEVI!" Hange clapped her hands in front of his face. "Snap out of it!"

"Hange..." Levi's lips quivered.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it," Hange scooted closer and held him tightly before bolting out of the couch. "I have after pills here! Stay right there!"

Levi watched as Hange left the living room. His mind wandered far, deep, and dark if Hange didn't snap him out of it but, one thing was sure.

Levi's not taking the pill.
