"Mitch? Could you come here, please?"

Mitch nodded, hopping onto Scott's lap. He smiled up at him, his brown eyes full of happiness. The smile turned into a frown when he noticed Scott's troubled face, putting a hand on his cheek.

"What's the matter, Prince Erik? Are you okay?"

Scott sighed as he took Mitch's hand, brushing the purple hair back gently. The Alphmega started to worry, wondering what this conversation was about.

"Scott?"

Scott kissed Mitch's cheek gently, taking the small hand off his cheek. His blue eyes held an emotion that Mitch couldn't place, making him wonder even more about what was happening.

"Scott, please tell me. What happened?"

"Mitch, I love you more than anything in this world."

"I know that, silly. Is that why you're so worked up?"

Scott shook his head, causing Mitch to frown again. He noticed how the Lead Alpha's touch is not loving as it usually is, scaring him to no end.

"Then what is it? Scott, please tell me."

Scott let go of Mitch, putting his elbow on the armrest. The Alphmega tried to pull back the arm, jumping when Scott pulled it from his grasp. He began to tear up, not understanding what was going on. Scott sighed as he looked at Mitch, his eyes sad.

"I don't love you as much as I did when we first started dating."

That was it.

Mitch gasped, feeling his heart break. He shook his head, pushing himself off Scott. He began to cry, both from hormones and emotions. The Lead Alpha sat there, not knowing how to react.

I still love Alex.

"You don't love me anymore?"

"No, no Mitch. That's not what I mean! I still love you! It's just..."

Scott couldn't think of anything, his mind blank. Mitch wiped his eyes, glaring at his husband while tears blurred his vision.

"So that's it?! You don't love me anymore?! After two years, you give me these news. If you loved Alex so much, then why didn't you leave me earlier? After we were Mates, after having a child, after being married, and after making me pregnant with two more children, you tell me that you don't love me anymore. How dare you?"

For some reason, that angered Scott. He glared at Mitch, shaking his head as he walked up to his husband. The height difference and muscles scared the Alphmega, but he refused to show how scared he looked.

"Don't you dare talk to me like that! You're being rude! I never talked to you like that before so what gives you the right to talk to me like that?!"

"I wasn't being rude, I was being honest."

Scott gripped Mitch's chin, making the Alphmega look at him. The younger male almost whimpered, knowing that there will be bruises later from his tight grip. The Lead Alpha's eyes turned red, striking fear in Mitch as he felt his husband's other hand grip his arm tightly. He hissed in pain when he felt the strong hand tightened, tearing up at the pain.

"You never, ever speak to me that! If you do, I will not hesitate to punish you!"

"Scott, what are you doing?!"

Scott looked up, forgetting his anger as he looked at Avi. The other Alpha's eyes were red and his face was angry whole his arms were crossed. He looked down at Mitch, gasping at the sight in front of him. The loving brown eyes were full of tears and finger-like bruises were beginning to show in his chin and arm. Scott released him quickly, tearing up when the younger male ran off to Avi. The other Alpha shook his head, running a hand down Mitch's back as he cried.

"You should be ashamed of yourself. Wanting to punish your Mate for telling you the truth. You know that he was being honest. He is never rude. I can't even look at you right now."

Avi took Mitch out of the room, leaving Scott by himself. The blond began to cry, wondering why he ever did that. Yes, he loved Alex. Yes, he wanted him back; however, he is married to Mitch now. He can't love another person because of this. Mitch came first.

I just told Mitch that I loved Alex more. Why did I ever do that?

~~~

Ben ran a hand up and down Mitch's back, frowning at the finger-like bruises on his face and arms. The Alphemga cried loudly as Tori brushed his hair back, her heart breaking for the sweet man.

"Mitchy, baby. Calm down. You can't stress out."

"But I can't stop," Mitch sobbed out, putting his chin on his hands. Jessi frowned, rubbing the Alphmega's knee softy. "I thought that he was my prince and that I was his princess. I thought he loved me more than anything. Now he doesn't love me anymore. What did I do wrong?"

His face crumpled as another wave of tears ran down his cheeks, putting his hands over his face. Avi sighed as he looked at Tori, shaking his head. She frowned, empathetic for Mitch. He took a deep breath, managing to breath calmly.

"I felt like he used his height and body strength against me. All I could think about was him hurting me like Jeremy did because they're both tall and muscly. I'm shorter and skinny so anyone similar to Scott and Jeremy's body structure and height scare me. I thought he was going to beat me up. I was so scared."

Mitch began to cry again, wanting to be held. Tori caught the drift and put him into her arms, kissing his forehead gently. Ben and Jessi shook their heads, the both of them feeling their hearts break for him as Avi shook his head angrily, wanting to put some sense into Scott.

"I'm going to beat him up. No way is he going to lay a hand on Mitch or scare him like that. If you use your height to scare someone, I lose all respect for you."

"Honey, he's the Lead Alpha. You have to respect him."

"No I don't. The moment any Alpha uses their strength, height, or both to scare an Omega is the day they are no longer considered Alphas in my book. Respect is earned, not given."

Tori sighed as she nodded in agreement, kissing Mitch's forehead once more. She hears him snoring, giggling a bit as she laid him down. She was about to leave with everyone else when she felt a small hand on her wrist, causing her to look back. It was Mitch, his big eyes full of unshed tears.

"Please stay with me? I want at least one person to reassure me that they still love me and never leave."

Tori frowned as she laid down, hugging Mitch tightly. She could feel the tears wet her shirt, the sobs echoing in the house. She ran her hand up and down Mitch's back, shushing him gently.

"Baby, it's okay. It'll all be okay. I'm right here. I love you."

At least someone sill loves me.

Mitch continued to cry, holding onto Tori the entire time. During that time, Scott overheard everything. He slid down his door, tears falling down his cheeks as he began to cry quietly. He sobbed suddenly, hoping that no one heard him. He wiped his eyes, wanting Mitch to be back in his arms.

Why did I ever do that?

~~~

"What in the world?"

Jessi liked around their room, Post-It Notes all over the place. They took one off their wall, smiling when they read it.

Your eyes shine like the stars I see every night.

They giggled, noticing Ben's handwriting right away. They weren't mad at him anymore, but they didn't know how to tell Ben that.

How do I tell him?

They picked up another note, smiling at the sweet words.

You have the biggest heart of anyone I know.

Jessi teared up, feeling love grow inside them. They put the two notes in their pockets, picking up another one. They allowed a tear to run down their cheek, smiling the best they could.

You are too kind for this world, for me. What did I do to deserve you?

Jessi walked over the room, reading all the other notes. About eighteen were picked up, each one making them cry harder than the last one. Their bison became so blurry from tears that they didn't even notice the last letter from Ben until they stepped on it. They laughed, shaking their head as they picked it up. They began to cry, the letter's content warming them up.

Dear Jessi,

I'm sorry. I didn't know how to tell you I loved you until k got some advice. I realized since then that love could be expressed although you don't say I love you. There are other ways to say I love you without saying that I love you.

You could ask someone if they are warm when it is cold outside and give them your jacket if they aren't.

You could ask them if their seat belt is buckled when you are driving someplace, even though it is obvious that they are buckled up.

You could make them their favorite food without asking them and giving it to them when they angry.

You could be the one who will be there when they need someone the most and make sure that they are okay.

You could be the one to stay with them when no one else is there.

Love is a beautiful thing and I am so happy that you are my Mate and that I am your Mate. You make me so happy and I love myself more each day because of you. I am a better person because of you and I can't thank you enough because of that. You are made to do wonderful things and I hope that you have the chance to do all that you want. If you feel like you can't, know that I am right here to cheer you on from the sidelines.

I will love you forever, even after I die.

Love,

Ben

Jessi began inconsolable, hugging the letter to their chest. They heard their door open, looking back to find Ben smiling at them. He was blushing, looking at the notes he wrote.

"How did you like them?"

"I loved them. You are amazing, Ben J. Pierce. Don't you ever forget that."

Ben smiled as he kissed Jessi softly, hugging them carefully. They stayed in each other's arms, happy to be back together.

"I'll love you forever, even after I die."

"I'll love you forever, even after I die."

A/N: All I can say is darn it, Scott. Everything will be fixed I. The next couple of chapters, I promised! Also, do you think that Mitch should have been punished for saying how he felt?

Yes?

No?

Neutral?

Anyways, I hope that you all enjoyed the chapter and remember that I love you all.:)
