It Was You

Blackrose pack

"Dreach... I think... I really should leave the Snowlight Hill forever..."

With the arrival of the crown prince, all the people there were more excited and when the first dance started all were surprised that the crown prince asks the fake omega to be his partner of all the people there.

The ladies of the noble families were red jealously, Alice could see that Drachen was dancing with her brother but thanks to the multiple couples Alucard couldn't see the company of the crown prince in the first dance; it was difficult to see someone in a normal dance room now that they were skating in the ice it was more complicated.

It was something good that all of the packs know how to skate on the ice thanks that the Snowlight Hill was all the time with cold winter weather if not they could have had a big accident there.

"What are you talking about Jay? Your family lives here"

"They are not my family!" he says with pain

"How could you say that?"

"Dreach... since my father died my mother send me to a separate building, Archer makes the training more spartan each time and I got hurt more than before; Roland always act as if I was a ghost or some furniture of the house"

"Jay... but what about the twins?"

"The twins? They always hide my clothes and ruined them or make me do horrible jokes... I'm a slave more than family to them, I live like an abandoned dog, Alison hates me without a

the credible reason... and Alice..."

"Alice always looks after you, she talks about you all the time she visited me"

Drachen knows that they were not a perfect family but he always saw Alice taking care of Jaden, however, Drachen didn't know she was the worst of all of them, she makes his life miserable, and she makes him do some all the housework by himself even the workers of the Winterlane house were treated better than him, he also gets fiscal harassment by her and all the scars in his body could say the true but Jaden knows that Drachen likes Alice so he didn't dare to talk bad about his sister in front of him, he doesn't want to lose his one and only friend for that.

"She sure does ..."

"Can you think more about it?"

"I don't feel like living with them anymore"

"Jay... if you want you can come to the palace, I can give you a room"

"I don't dare to ask for your help"

"Don't say that we're..."

"Dreach... that could make a misunderstanding in society between us"

Drachen sight because his friend was right, he saw Jaden as a brother more than a cousin, they grew up together but they weren't related and everyone could think Jaden was his lover. He wants to make Jay reconsider that he only could help and support him, without thinking about what people could say about them Drachen hug him again.

Jaden stays quiet and shocked, he doesn't feel so good when he hugs him because he can smell him and somehow Jaden feels exposed to Drachen but at that moment he hugs him back for the first time something that surprised Drachen.

"I understand, but remember that when you need anything you can ask me"

"Dreach... thank you"

After that hug they continue dancing, Jaden tries to forget the bad things and relax his body, and they dance unexpectedly very well together. People could say they were dancing together since they were kids but that wasn't the case, and they were also surprised by his good connexion. Drachen was looking at Alice from time to time but then frowned his eyebrows neither Drachen nor Jaden knows that the time has already passed very fast until when the second song finished and the clock sounded with strength and the moon started to shine brighter.

"Look at the moon Jay, How beautiful"

"Yes... It's so pretty"

 ...

Alice and Alucard also have a good connexion at dancing but Alucard was very sensitive to the smell of cherries coming for Alice and making him feel disgusted, the more they dance the sickness he felt, fortunately, the music finished so they made a reverence to each other and look at the moon with that blue color shine that covers only the younger ones.

Alice closed her eyes feeling the power of the moon in her body and then open her eyes looking for the mark on her wrist, she was an alpha, so it wasn't a surprise, when the mark appeared his scent flowed more drastically, but her scent makes Alucard feels sick, when she was distracted he ran away from her, there were a lot of smells in the air that makes him wanted to throw away but one of those scents was different and makes him crazy, that delicious smell of strawberries makes him feel better. Alucard look everywhere only with the big question in mind, Who was that person?

 ...

All of them was receiving their marks on a different part of their bodies, Drachen also closed his eyes and when he saw his mark shocked him, Jaden also saw his mark and was surprised, he knows a little bit about his mark, Drachen was a Delta, not an alpha but he thought that hierarchy was only a legend.

Jaden feels like how he was illuminated by the moon when he raises his head to look at the sky he heard a sweet voice calling his name.

Without knowing why he drops some tears from his eyes and then smiles happily when the lightning leaves his body he knows where was his mark but didn't want to see it for himself because he knows he wasn't an omega.

"D...Dreach Can I ask you something?"

"Do you want me to look at your mark?"

Jaden didn't say anything only affirmatively move his head, nervous he slowly removes the tie from his neck and open a little bit his shirt, the mark on his neck was a beautiful pink tree, and the smell of strawberries was stronger than before so when Drachen approached him to look at his mark he looks Jaden confused.

"Jay your smell... is... did you always smell like strawberries?"

"Yes... how did you know?"

Drachen come near to Jaden and put his face on his shoulder, he was smelling him not accepting was he was hearing, his face turned red, all those years he was in love with Alice for that smell that makes him feel happy but Alice was the wrong person.

Drachen keeps his lips above Jaden's ear and slowly talks to him "You're a gamma Jay" after he says that Drachen leaves Jaden there, he needs to confirm if that was the truth. While Alucard was running away from Alice, Drachen was looking for her.

When Drachen found Alice she was looking for Alucard, he approaches her and took her hand he was hoping that feeling wasn't fake but the smell of cherries coming from her makes him look so shocked when their eyes meet.

"Alice?"

"Dreach!, what a surprise, I didn't know you'll be here"

"Your smell..."

"You like it? I love cherries, It was a burdened used perfume of strawberries all the time”

"Perfume of strawberries?"

"Yes, that makes me feel sick I don't know why my mom brought me that"

When Drachen heard that he opened his eyes with surprise, he was smelling perfume all that time? But if that's true then Jaden doesn't have anyone in his family. Drachen remembers the face of Jaden when he mentions the name of Alice a few moments ago, he looked pale and scared, if they bullied Jay so much how can he smile so bright when he pays a visit to them? Drachen leaves her hand without saying anything more and follows the smell of Jaden, Alice follows him calling out his name she doesn't understand his behavior but when Drachen found Jaden both see Alucard and Jaden Kissing.

           A Few Moments Ago

Jaden stares at the moon with sadness, he knows he wasn't an omega but being a gamma was worse, he heard that they die young, they could not have a baby for their fragile bodies, also some of them had a repulsive smell for alphas, there were so many bad things about being a gamma so why? Why the moon has to punish him like that? He was about to cry when a strong smell of coffee made him look at that person, Alucard was coming to him but why? Their eyes meet and at that moment Jaden understands.

Jaden feels his wolf inside him calling out to his soul mate until they were so close that the world around them was nothing to them, Jaden wanted to touch his face, hug him or something but he couldn't move.

Jaden was only looking at him without expecting anything, when Alucard kissed him that was a big surprise however Jaden didn't avoid the touch of those lips. The hands of Alucard were on his waist, that moment was so beautiful, Jaden have never seemed happier than in that moment.

Drachen make a punch with his hands and avoid looking at them but he saw Alice, she was red from the anger in her, she broke part of her dress and the hatred looked so strong in her eyes that surprised Drachen, was she the same beautiful girl who makes his heart beating nervously? He looks again at Jaden but he never expected to see Alucard biting Jaden’s neck until his voice in pain sounded.
