Scott's POV
Why he was so concerned I have no idea because there was little Kuro or Gilbert could say to counter my argument. Nor do I understand why he had to threaten me like he did. If I want to defend my mate than damn it I'm going to defend him because like it or not I'm his Alpha and his lawyer. And like I assumed they had nothing so she ruled in our favor.
When her gavel came down I couldn't help but squeeze his shoulder as I glared as Kuro. What's strange is the little guy didn't blink; it was almost as if he didn't care. But if that was true than why would he make such a fuss earlier. Something in my gut tells me something's not quite right but I'm not sure what yet. "Alfred?" I start to say as we start towards my car.
He doesn't answer me right away as he keeps looking over his shoulder, "Oh sorry what?"
I take a glance over mine but I don't see anyone back there. "You think he's following us?"
"Really I wouldn't put it past him." He answers pulling his jacket tighter around his body. "He's pissed."
"Pissed? He didn't look like it." Where we really looking at the same man?
He looks down at his feet, "Trust me he's beyond pissed and will probably try to take it…."
"Out on someone?" I answer as I bury my hands into my pockets, "If he does it won't be you."
Again he doesn't answer as he makes a hasty beeline for my car. What is it about that little shit that strikes fear into his heart? Sure Gilbert said he was part of a large gang but that doesn't mean he can't be knocked down a peg or two. As I take a step forward I hear a twig snap behind me. As I whip my head around again I see someone dart off in the opposite direction.
It's not Kuro; the Alpha's a foot taller though even from my angle I can tell the kid's no more than fourteen if that. "Hey." I call out as he takes off sprinting down the street. If he was following us he has a lot to learn about being sneaky but either way he's gone so I walk to our car and for Alfred's sake, lock the doors once I'm inside. "Whoever the kid is, he's gone."
"Okay." He says as he rests his head back on the head rest. While he turns his head away from me I can tell he's exhausted. So it's not long before he's out cold.
He's body is still so tense though I'm sure in time he'll relax more once this whole thing is behind him. I watched him for a moment before realizing that the light in front of me changed to red. Quickly I slammed hard on the breaks as I swear loudly.
Alfred's up like a shot as he lets out a yell as one of my arms holds him back so his face doesn't go into the dashboard. "What the fuck?" He says as a look of terror washes over his face.
"It changed to quickly it's alright."
"No it's not we nearly got into an accident Dude."
As the light turns green go through, "You were asleep and it wasn't goin' to be that bad."
"Oh that's bullshit and you know it." He says and if I didn't know him better I'd say he's looking for any reason to fight. "What the hell were you looking at?"
Part of me wants to say a hot little Omega in a Mustang but I know that won't solve anything so I stare at the road as I answer, "I was looking at you, just making sure you're okay."
From the corner of my eye I see him look down, "You should have been watching the road."
"Are we really gonna fight over this shit?" I say, "Because need I remind your fat ass that," I wince as I mentally kick myself. "Wait that came out wrong."
Now I can't look at him as he glares in my direction, "Fat ass huh? Well guess what?" He starts as I pull the car into the driveway.
"Alfred, now wait." I say in some desperate means of calming down the situation though I already know where this is heading.
Like I predicted he opens the car door before leaning back in, "You can go fuck yourself dude." He slams the door shut before storming up into the house with one last jab, "Oh and good luck with that since your dick is so fucking small!"
As he slams the door I open my car door, "Well…" I say to myself as I pull out a cigarette, "That really escalated quickly." Years ago I might have ripped him a new one before having some damn good make up sex. In fact I still might be able to make that last part happen if I play my cards right.
I'm sure he won't stay mad at me for long though it might take a few hours. So I take my time walking to the house so I can at least get a few puffs of my fag before I go into World War three. "Small dick." I say with a chuckle as I take a hold of the door knob, "That's a new one on me." What I don't say though is what I'm really thinking. When your Omega's is the size of a Florida of course yours is going to look small. Maybe that was one of Kuro's problems with Alfred. Poor Alpha couldn't compete but for me, well it doesn't really bother me that much.
The only thing that bothers me is that as I open the door I swear I see that same kid from earlier drive slowly past the house. For a moment we lock eyes before he speeds away; every inch of my being is screaming out that he's up to something but what it is I'm not sure. What I do know is I should get a new lock on the door, just in case.
