The restaurant wasn't very busy, but the food was great. Sebestian had some egg benedict and Rose ordered a crepe. The conversation was light and fun, and Rose wasn't as nervous as she usually was around Sebestian. They stayed there for almost two hours before leaving, since Sebestian had a meeting to go to and Rose had to go back to town.As they parted ways at Rose's car, Sebestian felt Rose becoming restless and nervous. Unsure of the cause of this reaction, he asked if the omega was okay. Rose's eyes darted to the ground, and she stuttered a mess of words. Sebestian looked at the young Omega with a questioning look. This time Rose repeated what she said a little more clearly."I didn't know how to ask when we could meet up again. If you want to.""Of course I want to see you again, Rose. I had a great time with you even if there were some unplanned nuisances who interrupted our time together. How about you come over on Friday night? You can stay for the weekend."Rose's face becam
Rose woke up screaming. She was covered in sweat and in a state of panic. Ash rushed in the room asking what happened, Monika closely following him. They sat on each side of her bed concern looks on their faces."Rose are you okay? What happened?" Monika asked."It was just a dream. Sorry to have woken the both of you." Rose spoke. Trying to brush her off."That was one heck of a dream if it led to you screaming like that and your sheets are drenched with sweat. Get up we need to change them if you ever want to go back to sleep."As they changed the bedding, Monika pressed Rose for information about her dream. Ash kept silent, not wanting to pressure her anymore. He was worried but knew that both Monika and him pressuring Rose would be too much."Rose, look we're just worried. You've never had such a reaction to a nightmare since I can remember. We want to help." Monika said with a calmer voice in which Rose could feel the concern and the love her sister had for her."It was at the Ru
"We need to keep Sebestian away from the preparations today. The café and the apartment are the only places that are safe since the café is closed today. At least this stupid event doesn't come with huge banners and posters. But then we can't let anyone mention it in front of him. Tell Jenny and Simon so they don't ruin it. Especially Simon. Monika." Rose added while looking at her sister."I'll tell her and make sure he doesn't let it slip.""We'll just pretend it's a town historical event. Those are naturally boring for people and Sebestian shouldn't question it.""You know that you could just tell him, right?" Ash said. Making Rose look at him with a look of disbelief."This is the Mating Run. A ceremony to find a mate and spend the rest of our lives together. How does that say casual circumstance when dating?" Rose's voice was rising in tone and pitch. "I finally find someone that I like and seems to like me, and you want me to just say that I can't go on a date because I have to
"Let's go for a run." Sebestian suggested."What?""Let's go for a run. We shift and you run to someplace you really like and just let all your nervous energy out.""Right now?""No time like the present. Come on. It's going to be fun." Sebestian replied right before shifting.A second later, a massive black wolf stood in his place. Fur as black as night with golden eyes that were still as mesmerizing as his human counterpart. Rose was in awe at the majestic beast, and she felt her inner wolf push to be set free. The strong aura of the Alpha drawing her out. Rose's legs were growing week in the knees. She hadn't felt the strong aura since Adom and Jasmine's unpleasant visit. She started to wonder why she hadn't felt the aura as strongly since. Maybe she was getting used to it? But the scent did usually increase when she was out with Ash. A push from Sebestian brought her back to reality. She then took a deep breath and started to shift.* * * * *Two shadows ran through the forest, j
"Missed me?" the shadow asked Rose as it got closer."Who?""It's me Rose.""Seb... You're not Sebestian." Rose realized. She then shifted into her wolf form and jumped the imposter."Get off me you freak."Adom kicked her off and morphed into his wolf form. A brown and grey large wolf stood in an aggressive stance, baring his fangs as he snarled at Rose. Rose noticed that Adom's wolf had gained weight since their previous fight, and she wasn't sure if she would be able to match him for as long as she had in the past. While she was thinking, Adom had pounced, and she was now pinned to the grown under the angry Alpha. She didn't like the fear she felt creeping up on her. She struggled to get out and it made Adom smile, his snout getting closer to Rose's shoulder.Realizing that if he was bitten it was game over for her, Rose bit down on Adom's right paw which made him back up and allowed Rose to escape. She made a mad dash for an unknown destination. As she ran and ran, she tried her b
Rose woke up with puffy red eyes and a pain in her chest. As the memories of the previous night came back to her, she was struck by an additional pain in her head. She had drunk half a bottle of rum after Sebestian had left her and the hangover was not worth the little consolation drink had brought her. She knew that Sebestian had every right to be angry. She had lied and tried to fool him. The thought of it all made her depressed and she didn't want to get up. She fell in and out of consciousness, liking the feeling sleep brought her. It wasn't until midday that she was disturbed by Ash who came to see why she hadn't been to work.Ash saw that the apartment hadn't been disturbed since he had come back to change for his shift. He made his way to Rose's room and knocked. He wasn't sure what he would see since he knew that Rose and Sebestian left the festivities together and he really didn't want to walk in on them while they were... busy.No reply came from the other side, so he knocke
2 Year's Later: -There used to be a time when a werewolf who turned out to be Omega was looked down on and thought of to be lesser than practically anyone else in the community, luckily that wasn't the case anymore, sadly because they had found a way to suppress it.Sadly, for some, Rose on the other had was very pleased with the fact that he was able to suppress the Omega in her. When she presented, later than most, she had been devastated to realize what she was and had in panic thrown away her soaked sheets, scrubbed herself until her skin was raw and bleeding and begged her parents to get access so that could suppress that side of her. Her mother had been disappointed, had actually cried when she found out that her eldest daughter had presented as an Omega and his father had quickly pulled Rose away and then given her the information she needed. But of course, nothing works.It's been two years since Sebestian left with the promise that he will contract Rose. Which he never did.
Next to her, Ash wrapped his arm tightly around Jenny's waist and pulled her up tightly against himself, almost growling annoyed."It's nice to meet you'll again." Alpha walked straight over to Rose; his presence towered over the entire group as he reached his hand out for Rose to take."Hey Rose, how are you." Sebestian smiled, his soft caramel colored skin complementing his strong and sharp features he smiled at Rose. He was styled, some would say over the top, but if anyone could pull it off it was apparently him. He wore a dark maroon shirt that was buttoned down all the way to his waist and tight black trousers that went perfect with his black open suit jacket that hugged his body in all the right places. His hair was styled and spiked with streaks of gold that again matched the black and golden jewelry that he was wearing."Hello." Rose just replied with what she assumed was an almost dumb smile on her face as she accepted the offered hand and gave it a polite and almost comical
Ray, who was being forced against his will to finish a school assignment by Alex, whined petulantly, "Can't I take a break already?" but was ignored. Ken watched his best friend walk off with raised eyebrows."Where are you going?""Getting something to drink.""And you didn't offer Ray anything?" Ken paused, waiting for a reply from Alex but received none so assumed he was being ignored now, and in his own house no less. "Rude. Rie, sweetie, I'm so sorry, you can take a break and go help yourself to anything in there. Boss will be fine.""Don't let him hear you." Alex chuckled as he stood up and stretched. It's been almost a month now since he's started hanging out with Ray together with Alex, and already the friendship that budded between them was fully bloomed thanks to their shared interests and the connecting link they cared for, Alex. "What are you drinking?""Cider.""You have cinnamon?" Ray asked and walked over to his bag. He leafed through it and pulled something out that Ken
"Wow, I'd bang you."Alex spluttered indignantly before slamming the door shut on Ray's face. "How's this for a bang."Ken tutted, bumped Alex aside with a sassy hip and opened his front door again which swung open revealing Ray who stood on the cozy 'Welcome' rug wearing a breezy smirk. Alex wanted to wipe it off with his lips. Of course, he didn't admit this to himself though. The jock was a mouthwatering meal in skintight black jeans that hugged every muscle dipped crevice in his thighs and the length of his legs. The black shirt he wore, tucked in his pants and secured by the simple black belt cinched around his trim waist, left little to no room, the fabric glued snug to Ray's broad chest like second layer. He donned a leather jacket, the collars flipped up neat around his neck and collaborated well with the black Timbs that completed his look. Try as he may, discreetly as possible (what's discreet, Ken was openly judging him), Alex couldn't stop himself from ogling even he wante
The shuddering relief Alex felt ooze into his body was enough to get him to stumble back onto his feet and poke his head around the shelf. Ray stood in the center with his head facing one side of the room as he searched for Alex."Ray." Alex called out, voice soft and broken. The way Ray snapped his head forward so fast, the jolt of comfort that rushed through Alex when familiar dark eyes locked on him and the long, quick strides Ray closed Ray." Alex called out, voice soft and broken. The way Ray snapped his head forward so fast, the jolt of comfort that rushed through Alex when familiar dark eyes locked on him and the long, quick strides Ray closed their distance with, eased the frantic nerves Alex had been panicking with."You idiot." Ray whispered angrily though his tone washed in relief. He cupped Alex's cheeks and gently swiped his thumbs beneath Alex's eyes, collecting stray tears. "What the fuck are you doing? They announced the warning lockdown, what were you thinking?""I di
"Fuck."He ended up in the library (ironically the place where this chasing game with Ray began) which was on the third floor which meant the safest distance from the cafeteria since that was on the lowest level. Alex felt the stares but avoided eye contact knowing well he looked a panting mess from taking the stairs two and three at a time in haste to get away from Ray. Fucking Alex, God. Ever since the 'incident' Alex's mind refused to get rid of the memory no matter how hard he shoved it down. He tried to forget the sensation of Ray's mouth on his, yet his lips still tingled from Ray's tongue. He tried to stop thinking about how physically good it felt to be pressed against Ray's firm body like two puzzle pieces, tried to erase the feel of those large hands holding him tight but his body had a mind of its own and ached to be held again, touched again.It was maddening.From the start, Ray made it blatantly clear he wanted in his pants and Alex would not bend over so damn easily. Th
Class ended shortly after and Alex walked out of the room, phone out in his hand. He was in the middle of reading a text Ken had sent him as he walked down the hall to his locker when someone grabbed his shoulder and yanked him around. "Hey!" Alex glared up at Ray once he was facing him and tugged himself free. "You can't go around grabbing people, asshole!" he snapped his gum irritably.Ray was unperturbed, eyes dark. He crowded into Alex who began to flush and tried to shuffle back. Ray stilled him by gripping his hips and cocked his head down closer to Alex's level. "You've got jokes, Alex." Ray casually waved the crushed pack of gum in Alex's face before tugging said boy closer. Alex froze when he felt Ray's hand spread over the back of his ass, dip into his pocket, and drop the packet there. Ray gave it a pat when he was done before resting both hands-on Alex's cheeks. "Now, I want my piece."Before Alex could protest, Ray leaned down, tipped Alex's face up, and captured his lips
Side story (Alexander and Rose oldest son Ray)Alex wanted to wipe the stupid smirk off Ray's face. He settled for forcefully stuffing the crumpled notebook paper balled in his tiny right fist into the jock's mouth before stomping around the spluttering other, face flushed heatedly. "The answer is no!" Alex threw over his shoulder sassily before scurrying down the rest of the hall, leaving Ray behind who was taking his damp saliva crinkly paper out of the cavern of his mouth. "Fucking Alex." But there was only amusement laced in Ray's tone as he unfolded his paper, he'd wrote his little message down on for Alex, his handwriting only slightly damaged from all its past abuse. Ray scoffs when he sees a little mad face drawn in Alex's small, neat handwriting underneath his kindergarten message and leans against a locker just as a boy with a heavy looking book bag weighing his back down was about to open. He squeaks in despair when Ray's heavy body went lazily slack against the rusty sur
Sebestian woke up slowly and with effort. He felt so peaceful that he came close to drifting to sleep again. Until he sensed someone shuddering against him, along with anxiety that certainly wasn't his own.Using all his stubbornness, Sebestian opened his eyes. To find that Rose was waking up beside him. The sight – such he feared he might never get to witness again – filled Sebestian battered and bruised heart with joy. But he was also deeply worried. Because the anxiety he caught a hint of before grew far clearer. When Rose's eyes opened, they were haunted.A chill went down Sebestian spine. "Rose? Are you alright?"Rose's chuckle had more than a touch of hysteria to it. The man appeared terrified. "I'm... I have no idea. My head... It feels like it's going to..." The Omega made a gesture symbolizing an explosion with one hand.Sebestian would've wanted to use his scent to help Rose but felt so... off balance that he didn't dare to. "My head hurts, too. Maybe we should get some more
Sebestian had been hurt countless of times over the course of his (too) long life. More often and by more people than he cared to count. Few things, if anything, had hurt him as much as what Agatha revealed.Rose had been searching for a way to become like. Because of their stupid, ridiculous fight the woman took a huge risk and went to sleep beside him as though nothing had changed. And now..."I should kill you", Sebestian hissed.Agatha snorted. "Burn me... where I stand? Spare me, you're... too soft for that." (If only she knew of his stepfather...) "Besides, would it bring... your little Omega... back? I didn't force her... to do anything."Rose always took responsibility for the woman's decisions, stood behind them for better or for worse. Took responsibility for the decisions of others, too. Sebestian knew, as much as his blood boiled, that his wife wouldn't have wanted anyone to be harmed over the Omega's choice. So, with utmost reluctance, he commanded his magic to let go. (A
Sebestian was one of the continent's most powerful. Perhaps one of the most powerful Alpha in the whole world. Over the course of year's his scent had helped as well as killed countless of people.Yet now, with Rose in a dire need of his help... His incredible power – as the Omega herself called it once – seemed practically useless.Sebestian attempted to find out what was wrong with Rose. Perhaps he and Allen had missed something earlier. Sometimes dark scent and curses could be devious, difficult to notice even for someone powerful and experienced. Yet there was nothing.Then Sebestian worked his hardest to make his wife feel more comfortable, because Rose was clearly in pain. His trembling hand placed on top of the other's wildly beating heart and glowing seemed to be of some comfort for a moment. At least the seizures stopped. But Sebestian could sense in some indescribable manner that Rose was slipping away from him.Considering his state of mind, it wasn't a surprise that a gent
