It was early in the morning when Nico crept from the healer's cabin. He didn't really want to do a whole check out process, so instead of taking the front door out, he slipped out of the window in the room. He landed awkwardly, even if the ground wasn't very far. Dragging himself back to his feet, he sauntered over towards the dilapidated omega's den. He glanced around the whole way, hoping he could just slip away without being noticed.
Nico knocked on the door, hoping someone would come quick. Suddenly, he wished he had something to offer to the omegas. Who would answer the door? Hopefully it would be Simon. He didn't want one of the other omegas to come out and wonder what he was doing there, or even worse, chase him off. He really wasn't looking for a fight at the moment. He wasn't even sure he could handle a fight, even if it was with one of the pups.
He shuffled from foot to foot, glancing up at the sky. The sun was just starting to rise, chasing the stars and moon across the sky, turning the sky a fiery flag of colors.

Simon let out a small sniffle as he stirred from his place on the ground. His blue eyes opened halfway, sniffing the air and scenting Nico, the alphas son. He pulled himself up into a sitting position, wincing as his sore body moved. He glanced around, noticing that the others were awake, too, and looking nervous. They knew he was here.
"D-don't worry. He's just staying with us for a little while. He's actually fairly nice, he won't hurt you..." his voice was soft, and gentle. Layla's fearful gaze lightened as she nodded at her big brothers rwassurance. The four year old toddled over to Simon, clutching onto his side, clearly nervous of the alpha being there. Zaira looked more wary, but gave a nod. The other two just scowled, unsure about this entire thing.
Simon got up, Layla still in his arms as he opened the door, Glancing at Nico for a moment. He felt Layla hide her face into his shoulder, the alphas presence clearly scaring her. He let out a few reassuring murmurs as he backed away, letting Nico in.

Nico offered Simon his biggest smile in greeting, ducking through the doorway. He was glad that it was Simon who had answered. "Hey. Good to see you. Thanks, again."
Nico winced at the toddler's reaction, muttering an apologetic "Sorry." as he came through the door. He glanced around the room, clearly unsure of what to do. He raised his hand in greeting, giving a little wave. "Hello everybody. I'm Nicholas, but you guys can call my Nico."
Out of all the omegas, Simon was the only one who didn't show or express that he would rather him not be there. Openly, anyways. Could he be having second thoughts? He rubbed his aching shoulder, the anesthetic was starting to wear off.
"Thanks for having me here. I won't be long. I've just got to heal up and I'll be out of your hair."

Simon couldn't help but mirror the others smile, it was like his lips were working without his permission as he smiled back at the other. He wasn't sure why he was reacting like this, but he just felt like it was right, so he was standing there, grinning like an idiot.
"I take it your feeling better?" He murmured, his voice quiet and soothing as he tried to comfort his younger sister, bouncing the toddler lightly as he ducked in. Layla peeked over at the alphas son, the wariness clear in her eyes as he clutched onto her older brother.
"Its okay, Layla, he's nice, you see? He won't be mean," He cooed softly, rubbing her back as the short haired little girl sniffled a little, before giving him a slow nod, deciding to believe her. She shifted a little, while Zaira pressed her lips together, lifting her head up and opened her mouth, ready to retort, be rude, before she saw the warning look on her friends face and she just gave a shrug.
"Look. Just, rest, okay? Its not like we'd be able to kick you out, anyways," She huffed, toning down her angry response considerably.

[ maybe they could try to unite the two packs? Like Nico offers to help them regroup after they've fallen apart by bringing them back, and challenging his father? Maybe we could even do something where Nico gives up on being alpha to be with Simon? ]

[ cool deal. We should give them a reason to leave. Maybe the alpha goes looking for Nico / grills Simon for information since he was seen with him last? I could force Nico to hide under a hole in the floor maybe mwahahahaha ]]

It seemed like they really disliked him, to the point of hating him. Well, he couldn't blame them for that. He was the alpha's son. The son of a not very nice alpha. They probably couldn't help but see his father in him.
"I promise I won't be mean. I'll help in any way I can." He decided to at least try to soothe Layla, seeing as it was her home too. The other one seemed more angered than scared by his presence. That would be harder to work past, but he would sure as hell try.
Footsteps came up the stairs, and someone swore as their foot caught in the weak step. That was definitely his father's voice. "Simon?!" He hissed. "Help!"

Layla peeked up at him, blinking a few times before giving a small, hesitant nod. Her shoulders relaxed just a tad, as if she believed his words because of what Simon was saying, and because the big man seemed to at least be a bit reassuring.
Simon froze at the sound of footsteps, looking over at Nico worriedly, watching as the panic dawned on his face. Yeah, that was definitely the alpha. That really couldn't be good, and he felt worry build in his stomach. The alpha couldn't find Nico, that would spell trouble for not only his new friend, but his family of Omegas, too. He glanced around frantically, before pointing to a few broken floorboards. "You can slip under there," He murmured, thinking quickly.

Nico nodded quickly, diving under the floor boards. It was kind of like a crawl space under there. He moved a little further in, shuddering as he pushed through old spiderwebs and stepped in things he'd probably not know what. The alpha didn't bother to knock, instead just pushing open the door and letting himself in. Nico listened as the floorboards freaked under the alpha's weight, shrinking away from the sounds. "Where is he, runts?" Nico held his breath. Would Simon decide to take whatever punishment came now, instead of risking further angering the alpha?

Simon had set Layla down, who ran to go and hide behind Zaira. He swallowed a little, watching as Nico dove into the floorboards, breathing a small sigh of relief as he did so. He'd be safe. Well, for now, at least.
The omega felt himself cower as Nicos father stormed in, shrinking backwards just a little bit in fear. He looked up, but didn't meet the alphas gaze since that would easily be considered some type of challenge. He really didn't want any trouble, and was scrambling to think of what he could say that wouldn't further anger the alpha.
"W-who, s-sir?" He asked, deciding that playing dumb was currently his safest decision. He felt his body shaking in fear, and he was studying the broken ceiling in interest so he wasn't tempted to look him in the eye.

The alpha let out an angry snarl, shoving Simon back and up against a wall. Not very gently, mind you. "The worm of my son. He's in big trouble."
Underneath the floorboards, Nico was contemplating his options. How long could he continue to endanger Simon's family? They had done so much for him already, and they really didn't deserve this. If it got too much worse, Nico wondered if it would anger his father even more to reveal himself. Would he turn on Nico, and not redirect his anger on Simon's lies?
"My son has an unfinished challenge with me, and it's time to show him who the true alpha is." It seemed like finally, his father had a reason to kill him. Nico was starting to run out of options.

Simon bit back a gasp as he was shoved against the wall, making it hard to breath for a few moments. He glanced up at the alpha with wide, terrified eyes, unsure what he should do. He heard the soft pattering of feet, and he knew that the other omegas had escaped. He just hoped one of them would get Nico out, too. He shivered a little, still sick even after the medicine he took the night before, making him weaker than usual.
"I-I d-don't know, sir. " he responded, looking as truthful as he could, terrified at how close the other man was to him. He could do a lot of damage to Simon, and they were both aware of that fact. He swallowed at the thought of the challenge, knowing that it would be near impossible for Nico to survive that challenge. He needed to protect the other at all costs at this point, Nico was his only hope for a better future.
Zaira scrambled underneath the floorboards, knowing that Nico would be there. She tugged on his shirt, trying to tell him to follow her without actually speaking.

"Where did he go!?" The alpha was furious now. "You were seen with him last!" His hands had moved to Simon's collar, pulling up until he was on his tiptoes. "One way or another, I will find him, and I will kill him."
Nico's hand went to his throat at those words, and he bit back a gasp. Simon seemed to want to protect him, and Nico was eternally grateful for that. It surprised him how Simon seemed to have no resent to him, and it warmed him to think he had one friend in the pack, aside from Aaron.
Nico clapped a hand over his mouth just in time to stop a scream from erupting when Zaira pulled on his shirt. He felt lightheaded from being so scared, taking a moment to catch his breath. He didn't want to leave Simon. "Will Simon be okay?" He whispered, so softly he could barely even hear himself.

Simon let out a small whimper when he was pulled onto his tip toes, and now he was honestly scared. His blue eyes widened in alarm, not liking the promise of killing him. That just hardened his resolve to protect the alphas son, the one hiding beneath the floorboards.
"I-I don't know. I-I brought him t-to the h-healers den, th-then I left," he responded with only a half lie. He knew he'd get in trouble again for touching his son, and then for going to the healers den. He wasn't allowed to do both, and harsh punishments could come from admitting he did both. He squirmed a little, gasping for breath as he tried to fight the other off now. He didn't want to get hurt.
Zaira gave a short, curt nkd, ignoring the whimper that she just heard from her friend. He would be alright. He had to be alright, there was no other option for him. She jerked her head towards the entrance, telling him to get out silently. She didn't want Simons protection to be for nothing.

"Your kind is not to be mingling with the hierarchy!" The alpha had loosened his grip on his collar, letting him rest fully on his feet once more. The alpha was beginning to run out of steam. He shoved Simon roughly to the ground, turning to leave for the door. Nico finally relented to Zaira, following her out of the cabin. He hoped that Simon would be ok. the adrenaline was going to his head the whole time, making his heart race and his wolf pace. In seconds he had shifted, dropping to all fours and making a break for the woods line. He had no idea where to go. His mind was checking all his options, twice, and then once again. How was Simon supposed to know they had left?
