"Harry, am I correct?" Professor Horan voiced, rising from his seat behind his large mahogany desk and walking over to where I stood pressed against the wooden door.
"Y-Yes, sir." I greeted meekly, peeking up at the four boys standing up as well. I flinched when they began walking over to my shaking frame almost immediately.
"Down, boys." The older man chastised, waving a hand in halt at the four of them, stopping any further movements.
"Father." Niall gritted, his eyes narrowing to slits as his eyes followed his frame. I watched cautiously as Mr. Horan made his way towards me slowly, holding my gaze with his intense blue eyes.
"Hush, Niall. I will let you speak to him once I have a word of my own with this young man." He gestured towards me, not even glancing back at the four growling behind him. I flinched once again at the loud threatening noises, swallowing thickly at the back of my throat.
The only thought that was running through my head was 'Why me? Why me? Why me?'
"Bobby," The tanned one that I recalled had cornered me in the alley way, started in a strong voice.
"Enough, Zayn." This time he did turn around to face the four, causing me to let out a deep breath now that his attention had shifted away from me. "You boys can go wait in the back room while I speak with your mate." I squeezed my eyes shut at the word, wrapping my arms around myself protectively. I didn't want to be here right now. Anywhere but here. Here, I felt cornered â outnumbered. I didn't want to speak with anyone, not Professor Horan and definitely not the four Alphas glowering in front of him.
"You can't expect us to just let him out of our sights again! You saw what happened last time!" Niall, him and Zayn being the only ones I know the names of, protested angrily. "I refuse." He stated, his hard stare shifting towards me, inflicting a cold shiver to run up my spine. I held his gaze for a second before I looked away, biting my lower lip anxiously.
Professor Horan let out a sigh, "The sooner you let me talk to him, the sooner you will have your own time with him."
My eyes widened at his words. I did not want alone time with the four of them!
"Fine." The buffest one agreed reluctantly, causing my eyes to meet his chocolate brown ones. "Let's go boys. I don't want anymore time to be wasted that we could've been spending with our Omega." He ordered, hardening his eyes on my small cowering frame before forcing himself to turn towards the door placed on the other end of the office. I assume that door was leading to the back room.
I almost let out a breath of relief when I saw them all begin to slowly make their way towards the door, but then, Zayn sharply turned back around and stalked towards me. He held up a hand at Professor Horan to halt his protests, and instead crowded up against me, his chest touching mine. I whimpered, looking up at him with wide frightened eyes waiting for his next move. He let his eyes travel over my face quickly before his rough hand snatched my chin, yanking it up harshly, yet not painfully, until our eyes connected.
"Don't even think of running after he's done with you." He growled lowly, his eyes boring into mine so intensely that it almost made my hues spring with tears. "Do you understand me?"
I whimpered once again, nodding my head vigorously until I could finally get some words out, "Y-Yes." I croaked throatily, my body shaking in fear.
"Good boy." He rasped in a husky voice, a smirk ghosting over his features before he released me and walked calmly back over to my other three mates. I met their eyes with my own watery ones, seeing the satisfaction and self-restraint crossing their features.
"Alright." Professor Horan cleared his throat loudly, breaking the tension between us. He seemed to pick up on how close the four Alphas' were to almost jumping me, and ushered them out of the room. I hugged my arms around my body and swiped a hand over my misty eyes quickly, taking the opportunity to do it while Professor Horan was busy getting my mates to leave the two of us.
I shifted my gaze downwards, a shaky hand coming up to brush over the spot on my chin where Zayn had touched not too long ago. It was tingling, like small little pinpricks poking me repeatedly. I definitely did not expect him to come over to me and touch me in front of everyone. I didn't expect him to touch me at all.
"So, Harry." Professor Horan's loud booming voice began, breaking me out of my thoughts. I dropped the hand on my chin back to my side, my eyes following him as he took a seat on the gigantic brown leather chair behind his mahogany desk. "Sit, please." He smiled briefly, motioning to one of the two basic wooden chairs standing on the opposite end of his desk.
I swallowed, cautiously making my way over to the offered chair, glancing repeatedly at the door my mates had not long ago entered. I lowered into the hard seating, Professor Horan watching every one of my moves expectantly.
As soon as bum plated itself on the solid furniture, my body tensed up. I ringed my hands together nervously on my lap, peeking up at the older man through my lashes as I chewed my lip.
"Do you know why you're here, Harry?" He asked casually, leaning back in his reclining seat and staring at me passively.
I nodded my head hesitantly, "Um, yes s-sir. I think so." I responded meekly, darting a quick look at the door once again.
He nodded once, tilting his head to the side inquisitively, "Why are you here, Harry?"
"F-For..." I flushed, stumbling over my words. Why is he making me explain it to him? If he already knows what the answer is then why must I have to spell it out for him? However, I know why he's doing this. He wants me specifically to lie out the situation so that he knows were both on the same page. "'For your son. A-And the others." I whispered, trying to take the brief approach so I wouldn't have to go into detail.
I don't think he liked that.
"I've been informed that you ran away from them."
My eyes widened at his sharp gaze, his tone turning cold. "Well yes, b-but Iâ"
"And you've been hiding from them."
"Yes, butâ"
"Masking your scent to make it all the more difficult."
"Sir Iâ"
"Telling your friends to keep your cover."
"S-Sir pleaseâ"
"Are you rejecting your mates?" He paused, his tone shifting back to the innocently light one he was using at the start of this conversation.
My eyes were already glazed over with tears. "N-No sir, Iâ"
"You know, I like you Harry." He cut in once again, silencing my protests. He shifted his gaze to a bright yellow folder lying in the middle of his desk. I stared at the file nervously, trying to blink back the water in my eyes without him noticing. "You're a smart boy. I've read your file." He picks up the yellow folder, flipping through it blankly, his eyes quickly scanning through the prints on each paper. "High achieving, civil." He shoots his gaze back up to me. "You are everything I love in a student. I'm very happy you chose A.B.O. University. You are a perfect Omega in my books." He smiled tightly.
"Thank yoâ"
"However, I won't allow rejection." He continued sharply, his eyes narrowing dangerously in on my own. "I will not allow my son and his mates to be rejected by an Omega. Especially one as intelligent as yourself." He stared at me for a moment. "Speak. I want to hear what you have to say."
Immediately, words started gushing out of my mouth, "Sir, please, I wasn't rejecting them! Any of them! I swear it. I just didn't think I was ready to be mated just yet. I don't know how to treat an Alpha properly just yet. I-I wasn't going to hide from them forever, just untilâ"
"So you are admitting that you have been declining your Alphas of their mate." He spoke accusingly.
I let out a small groan, dropping my head in my hands that were propped up by my elbows on my knees. I rubbed my eyes desperately, "Yes sir." I whispered exhaustedly.
"Well, Harry, that will be going on no longer. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir." I agreed meekly, wiping my face quickly before sitting back up.
"Good. Now that we have that cleared that up," He rose from his seat with a groan, his bones cracking in place. I watched him with wide eyes as he walked towards the door that stood between my mates and I. "I will see you soon, Harry." He nodded at me, pulling the door open and stepping through while closing it behind him.
I waited a total of two seconds before the door opened once again and my four Alphas stepped into the office. The buff one with the warm colored eyes shut the door behind all of them, locking it.
I dropped my head, focusing on my fiddling fingers instead of the four boys staring at me intently. A shiver went up my spine as I sensed them moving closer. I held my breath when I could see the shoes of one of them standing in front of me.
He crouched, picking up my chin once he was at my level. I stared at him fearfully, awaiting his next move. He studied me with dark, chocolate eyes, his face hard. I bit my lip, as I looked right back at him. I mean I didn't exactly have a choice with the grip he's keeping on my chin.
"You're very beautiful." He stated finally, meeting my eyes. My cheeks heated up at his words, my head trying to duck from view but being unable too. "Tell me, why would you run?" He seemed genuinely curious, his head tilting to the side as he awaited my response.
"I didn't mean to." I breathed out stupidly, too entranced in his gaze to really get my mind to work. I shook my head quickly, somehow being able to remove the grasp he had on my face, "I mean I did. But not in the way you think!" I quickly added in with wide, scared eyes. Jeez he's so fucking huge he could snap my neck.
"What other way is there?" He questioned, his brows knitting together as he once again began to study me.
"I-I just...don't know if I'm ready to have a mate just yet." I finally spilled out, turning my head to glance at the other three. Turns out they weren't that far. Zayn was standing directly behind my chair, Niall was on my left and the one with the bluish-greenish eyes is on my right. All their gazes were fixated on me.
"What do you mean you're not ready?" Niall questioned lightly, crouching down where he originally stood to be at my level.
I shrugged slightly, blushing in embarrassment, "I don't know how to act, how to please any of you, what to say, I-I don't even know all your names." I rambled, hugging my arms around my self insecurely.
"Hey, its okay." The one with the chocolate eyes spoke in a soothing tone, resting a hand on my arm in comfort. He guided my eyes back up to his before continuing to speak in a stern, yet soft tone, "Don't doubt yourself, my sweet. You'll learn, as will we, with time. We will teach you how you can please us, and we will learn how to please you. This is a team effort between the five of us, do you understand?" He asked clearly, making sure I'm keeping up with what I'm saying.
I nodded, awestruck. I never expected them to...act like this. Everyone assumes they were the big bad wolfs, but here they are, asking me if I'm okay with what he's saying and treating me as though I am the same rank as them
"One thing that we will teach you right now, is that we all expect verbal answers from you, my love. That's a rule you must get used to. Another one is that we do not appreciate under any circumstances you wearing another Alpha's clothes. You wear ours or none at all." He added, raising a brow to make sure I understand. I reddened, realizing he was not only referring to that time in the alley way but also because I'm wearing Greyson's stuff right now.
"Yes, I understand..." I trailed off, not knowing his name just yet.
"Liam." He smiled, lifting the hand that was stroking my arms to my jaw, using his thumb to brush across my cheek lightly.
"Liam." I repeated, smiling shyly, blushing red under his hand.
My mouth widened a bit when the rest of the boys fell beside Liam on their knees in front of me. I flushed, realizing that I am above them all right now because they are crouched while I am sitting on a pretty high chair. It feels weird to be higher than an Alpha, in a physical sense.
"Louis." The one the furthest to the right introduced himself. He was the one with the feathery light brown hair and bluish-green eyes. I nodded, biting my lip bashfully. What I wasn't expecting was him to grab one of my small hands in his larger hands and bring it up to his lips, leaving a lingering kiss while keeping my eye contact. He smirked while I blush harder, my mouth agape.
"Zayn." The next one introduced himself, even though I already knew his name. They were going in order, to the left. He grabbed the hand Louis just kissed and planted a sweet peck as well.
"Niall." The blonde, who was the first I knew the name of, skipped Liam, seeing as he had just recently familiarized himself. He also grabbed my hand, leaving three kisses on the back.
When he dropped my hand, I opened my mouth to introduce myself as well, "I'mâ"
"Harry." Louis cut in with a mischievous grin, an amused glint in his eyes. "Our Omega."
