"Erwin I need to talk to Kenny Ackerman." Hanji spoke as Erwin answered the phone.

Hanji seriously needed info about the newcomer while the nurses and guards are trying to find him, she had to be prepared this time.

Eren will still kill her for slacking off though.

"Perfect, Ackerman won't spill the beans until he knows what happened to his nephew." Erwin said through the line.

"Nephew?"

"I'll give him the phone"

"Hello? Mr. Ackerman?"

"Are the doctor in charge of Levi?" the voice on the other line is full concern. "Is he alright? Did the suppressants had done any damage to him? Can I speak to him?"

There's no doubt that this guy cares for the omega its written all over his voice. Hanji can picture out Kenny Ackerman with teary eyes. She hardly believe that this guy murdered everyone on his own arena four years ago.

Hanji explained everything and reassuring Levi's health is stable like a hundred times. Finally Kenny started his tale.

Hanji took down notes as he speak.

Eren's bleeding bad, Levi bit both of his glands on his neck, nibbling each skin that his lips lands on, sometimes he suddenly bites him between nibbles. Eren can't believed that he was marked without mating.

Alphas are suppose to mark their omega first during mating. However, he felt his alpha instincts is happy with this.

With his bloody neck, he can't make it back to medical building with him carrying his sleeping omega in his arms. Thankfully, exhaustion took over the omega before he ran out of blood.

Eren kept walking until he spotted a familiar flower that only grows in that area.

Armin. He remembered Armin's cottage is around this area. The blonde omega is one of the psychiatrist in the sanctuary.

Eren took fast steps towards the path until a small cottage came to his sight. He knocked impatiently at the door.

"May I help yo- whaaa!" the blonde omega shrieked as he saw Eren.

"I need your help," Eren let himself in not waiting for Armin's approval.

"I can see that. Is he a vampire?" Armin eyed the sleeping omega on his arms, his lips and jaw was red, pits of blood on his gown and with his pale skin Armin concluded that his a vampire.

"Wha- no! Let me borrow your bed." again Eren let himself in, placing his mate gently on the covers.

He dashed into Armin's bathroom and grab a towel and basin with water. He set the basin on the table next to the bed, soaked the towel and twist it to removed extra water. He wiped his omega clean from head to toe.

"Armin let me borrow one of your night gowns." Eren started to remove his gown.

"I think a silk robe is much easier," Armin took out a dark blue robe from his cabinet and handed it to Eren.

"Right, thanks." Eren continued taking care of his omega, it felt good to touch his mate but his instincts is telling him to care for him instead of mounting him. Save that for later.

Seeing his mate clean, comfortable and sleeping soundly made his heart swell. He cleaned himself afterwards and went into Armin who is sitting on the sofa of his living room.

"So, what's going on?"

"I found my mate" Eren said as he sat across Armin.

"Really is that him? Never seem him here before."

"He's the new one, perphaps Petra informed everyone."

"She did then after five minutes she told everyone to lock their houses and stay inside until further notices."

Eren sigh and leaned back at the sofa. He told Armin everything, starting from Hanji's call and meeting Levi.

"He's different." Armin blurted.

Eren growled at him.

"I mean, he had the guts to mark an Alpha without mating or any warning and running away after suppressant removal." Armin quickly explained himself. Eren can't deny that he was right.

"Not only that he didn't recognize me as mate. He just stared at me with pure curiosity, like he wanted to know the full definition of what's happening."

"It's like I heard about this before, you remember Christa right?"

"The girl that was rescued from omega auction?"

"Yes, they were raised without a clue about mates, it helps them stop thinking about their future and accept their current situation which is really effective, causing the omega to be fully submissive to anyone. It's so cruel Eren!"

Armin was very fortunate that he belong to a rich family that protects him but he chooses to live inside the sanctuary to help other omegas with traumas as a psychiatrist.

"But Levi is not submissive." Eren said, remembering that Levi didn't submit to him, Eren was the who submit back then in the shady place but it seems that Levi didn't noticed it. But Eren didn't bother telling Armin about that.

"Yes, he beat up two betas and ran away twice. I think there's more story to listen here."

"I have to let Hanji know that his here so she'll go here instead." Eren realized he forgot his phone in his car, Armin ends up calling Hanji.

Hanji came swiftly afterwards, banging Armin's door like it's the last thing that can save her life.

"Eren! I deeply apologize for- what the hell happened to you?!" Hanji shouted after the sight of Eren's neck.

"My mate bit me."

"Mate?!"

"Hanji, calm down." Armin escorted Hanji to the living. They all sat as Hanji tries to calm down.

"Ok, ok. I have good news. I've gather all the information about Levi but first you have to tell me what happened Eren."

As much as Eren hates to tell the tale all over again, he has no choice. Hanji was massaging her temples as Eren finished.

"I can explain his behavior, Kenny Ackerman is Levi's over protective uncle. I can't blame him though."

Eren was about to open his mouth when Hanji pressed her finger on his lips.

"Just let me finish."

The room went silent as Armin and Eren are processing story about the Ackermans.

"Four years ago, 'Kenny Ackerman mysteriously kills everyone on his pit sparing no one except for his prized fighter. Both were nowhere to be found.'" Eren whispered the headline of the news paper four years ago.

He remembered how long he stared at the newspaper until he can't get the headline out of his head.

"I really can't blame Mr. Ackerman too. He reminds me of my parents. My parents, especially grandpa is willing to kill anyone who touches me."

Eren needed to thank that guy for taking care of Levi. But his alpha self is pissed, his mate didn't recognized him because of Kenny's 'brief' info about the dynamics. Literally brief like: There are three dynamics in the world and those are the alpha, beta, and omega period.

Hanji seems to notice it.

"I think Levi's instincts still recognized you as mate Eren. You just have to make his rational self be aware of it. When all the puzzle pieces are set everything will go smoothly."

"Thanks but we still need to talk."

"Yes, boss!" Hanji said cheerfully then added. "As his mate, your in charged of explaining and answering his question."

"Of course."

"And I'm pretty sure he'll rip my head off when he sees me."

"Now that's good news." Eren laughed.
