Almost an entire hour later, Mitch finally sulked out into the living room to find Avi. Scott followed him closely, without saying or doing anything that might make Mitch aware of his presence. Avi was sitting on the couch with Kirstie, Grace in Kirstie's arms as they talked about something. Mitch stood there quietly, not wanting to interrupt, until Avi turned to him. "Alpha? I need to talk to you... If that's okay." "Sure." Avi stood up slowly, squinting at Mitch a little. "Are you alright?" "Yes, Sir. I'm fine. There's just something I need to say to you." Avi nodded, beginning his walk down the hall. "Is your boy coming too?" "Yes, Sir."
