Having those conversations with them seemed really important. The reactions that she got were very different. Rhys was extremely receptive. "You really think so? Me, a father!?" he asked her. "Sure I am! If Reid and Reilly could, why not you!? I will help out too by not wearing a condom when fucking you." she said. "Thank you, Anna. I know you mean it, and that really means a lot to me. You believe in me more than my parents do. They keep saying I would be happier getting fucked by an alpha. They just don't get it!" Rhys then brought her into a tight hug. She hugged him back just as tightly. Mitchel was actually very upset when Anna talked to him. "How could you say all that!? Ronan and I are fine." he said. Anna looked at him and said "You know that I'm not trying to be mean. We have to be honest here. Compared to Reid, Reilly and Rhys, Ronan is missing out when it comes to his heats. You can easily claim him as yours if you put a baby in him now. All you need to do is try a bit harder to please him. Mating is not just about the top. You need to find the rhythm like I showed."
Mitchel nearly collapsed. He had a panic attack. Anna was there and leapt into action to calm him down. He still remembered the time he had been beaten by the border guards. He was a beta male. None of them tried to rape him. Still, they did all of that because they wanted to rape Ronan. They had no remorse when they did it. If it was up to them, he would have been left on the floor. Either he'd wake up and have a walk of shame knowing he lost his boyfriend in the worst way possible, or he would have simply died of his wounds. The soldiers would not have cared either way. Mitchel was a foreign athlete and that was a border facility, so some report would have to go out. Most likely, a bunch of nasty lies would be sent out to make Mitchel seem like the unstable, bad guy in the situation. He was not at risk of being raped and losing his bodily autonomy, but the fear and trauma of possibly being beaten to death for something like this was easily very traumatic. Anna helped him calm down. After the attack was over, he told her hearing talk about claiming triggered him. Her bad.
Quietly looking at him, she apologized. "I never meant to hurt you, Mitchel. We are friends. Aside from the bad part, I really hope you think about what I said. I am rooting for you and Ronan to stay together." He nodded, but did not say anything. It probably hurt his pride as a male. Being told you suck at sex was never a fun thing to hear. It was something that he really needed to hear if he was to get any better at it though. Anna smiled and offered to take him out to eat. He took her up on the offer. They went to a steak place and had a nice time. Anna genuinely thought that Mitchel was a friend. She did not want to fuck him at all, but he was someone that Anna wanted to protect. Mitchel knew it. She was the one that stood up for him. Anna was the one that rescued them from the border guards. During the meal, they talked about tennis and prospects. He had a lot of backing from school to help him if he wanted to go pro. She went straight home from the restaurant. Mitchel went over to his own. Anna had named her daughters Kelly and Skye on a whim. It did not matter anyway.
