Chapter 55: Rumours do not make the man
"Everyone, please meet Max’s partner, Dr. Andrew Knox." Maxwell’s Mother introduced him, and Andrew detected a slight warmth to her tone. He hoped he wasn’t being delusional. Andrew gave a small bow.
"I hope you will go easy on me. I’ve only recently manifested, so I’m still new to everything." Andrew gave a lopsided grin, while the two brother’s furrowed their brows.
"How is that possible? He looks like an alpha." Andrew laughed awkwardly at one of Maxwell’s brother’s words.
"Ah, I’ve always been this tall. I look quite a bit like my Father, as my Mother used to say.’ Andrew joked, and Maxwell’s hand tightened around his. Andrew was used to this, it didn’t hurt him to say it. Maxwell was being silly for being worried about it. After all, Maxwell had said the same thing the first time they’d met.
"It’s only been about three weeks since his...manifestation, so forgive him if he does something rude. Andrew has been working with Dr. Smith to manage his sudden change, and has taken some medication to help him get through tonight." That seemed to spark some interest in Maxwell’s Father.
"Oh? What did Dr. Smith suggest?" He asked, and Maxwell squeezed Andrew’s hand again.
"A scent blocker. We haven’t tested it on true alphas yet, so we considered this a good-"
"Hold the phone, that man is a true alpha?" The ruder of the two brother’s practically yelled, and the smaller omega flinched at the sound so close to his ears.
"Will, be quiet." Maxwell’s Mother hissed, and Will glared at her.
