For the rest of the early morning, as Lil was sleeping, Lib and I sat and talked time seamed to fly by. As we talked Lil’s phone started going off like crazy. It didn’t sounds like alarms, so Lib got up to check it, when he picked it up and read what it was, he looked over at me with a shocked look on his face, “We have a problem…” I stood up and started making my way over to him, “someone found out Lil’s a destined omega.”

“But how? You said no one knew except you and Lil?” I ran over to him to see what he meant. There were messages from our packs group chat, from an alpha pack chat, and a lot from what I’m guessing are her brothers and family. One did seam to stick out, a text from a number that read ‘so I finally have my answer. You are a destined omega, now why didn’t you just tell me that? I really didn’t want to go to such lengths to start your heat.’ I looked up at Lib and his face had gone pale. “Lib… breath.”

“I promised her I would never get in her business again, but I’ve gotta figure this out.” He unlocked her phone and opened the message from the number. It was filled with texts asking her what her transform was and whether she was an omega or not. She never responded, but this isn’t right. “Oh… Lil, what have you gotten yourself into?”

Lib and I looked over at Lil and just waited for her to wake up, we actually didn’t have to wait long. At about 8:30 she sat up and stretched. This was the first time I had seen what she was wearing, she wore a sports bra and a pair of shorts.

She looked at the two of us and smiled, “Good morning.” Her hand reached over to her side table where her phone was, when it wasn't there, she looked at Lib and saw it in his hand, “Lib give me my phone.”

“No. Who is this random number texting you? Why didn’t you tell anyone?” Lib asked. He stood there shaking, I can’t tell if it is from fear or anger.

“It’s nothing Lib, I never text back and I don’t need any help on this. Until they act, I can’t track them, I might have a network out in the world but it’s not as if they know who it could be or what they want.” Lil sighed as she spoke, as if she had been working on this for a while and hadn’t had a breakthrough yet.

“Lil when did they start this? Maybe we can find a lead if we knew, or at least have some sort of idea on what kind of person they are.” I asked.

“It started right after I fought Lib on the first day of fighting class. I originally had hoped that it would stop if I just ignored it. And don’t start with the it could be a student, our whole year was there and with that many students there someone could have snuck in easily. I have also put the number through the school’s student records, no one who goes here right now has the number on record.” Lil got out of bed as she spoke and made her way to the closet. She stepped into the closet and shut the door behind her.

“Lil how did you put the number through the schools student records? Students aren’t allowed access to it?” Lib asked as he sat down on her bed.

The closet door opened and Lil stepped out, she has gotten dressed in a pair of shorts decorated in strawberries, and a turtleneck sweater tuck into the shorts. She has long black socks that went up to her knee and a pair of knee-high worn-out black combat boots in her hand. “Lib, you already know the answer to that,” Lib shrugged as a response, “Really no idea? I hacked into the school network, only took me a couple minutes. Honestly they need to work on their security systems.” As she spoke she put on her combat boots and pulled her hair up into a ponytail.

Lib got off of the bed and walks over to her, pulled on the collar of Lil’s turtleneck, “You trying to hide your collar? You really don’t want anyone knowing that you’re in heat.”

Lil brought up her hand and brushed him off, “No, and I would appreciate it if both of you kept it hush hush as well, even from the pack. I don’t want anyone to get any ideas.”

She looked at both of us with a ‘you tell, you die’ look on her face, she can really be scary.Both of us freaked for a second, saluted her, and said yes ma’am, as if we practiced it, at least it made her smile a little bit. Lucky us! After that, Lib and I excused ourselves and left to get dressed. We both went through the hallway and my room, before he left me he said that he’d see me soon.

I closed the door behind him and looked for something to wear today. I didn’t have any plans for the day, but I guess I’ll be spending most of it with Lil and the pack. Most weekends up till now we would hang out, watch movies, or train. Lil had decided none of us knew how to fight very well. But it is true, most of us really only knew basics of fighting, Zander knows some more advanced techniques and so does Winnie. Braden knows more street fighting then appropriate fight techniques. Arbid doesn’t like fighting, he’s planing on being a gatherer with a speciality on navigation and survival. Then Bex and I have mastered basic fighting, so we can hold our own in hand to hand.But today, I don’t think Lil will want to do much fighting maybe we will work on summoning or spells. Who knows, I got dressed and walked out my back door and knocked on Lil’s.

“Come on in Jun!” Lil called from inside.

I opened the door and walked in, Lil was sitting on her bed fiddling with her laptop, and Lib was at the desk reading a book. I looked around the room a little deciding where to sit, and I noticed a new addition, there was a futon against the bare wall across from Lil’s bed. I shrugged it off, Lib probably brought it over, so I sat down on it. I had brought a couple books over so I pulled one out and started reading it.

We had been sitting in silence for a while, each of us doing our own thing, when Lib spoke up, “Lil why do I have to do homework on a weekend? There wasn’t even any assigned.”

I looked over the top of my book, Lil didn’t even look away from her screen or stop typing when she responded, “Because you are stupid. Thats why.”

“Ugh, Lil, I’m not stupid! I was in the 10th spot in PVT rankings and the 3rd at our school. Isn’t that good enough.” Lib had laid his head back over the edge of the chair so he could look at Lil upside down.

“No. It isn’t good enough. Your ranking and placement at PVT means nothing here, you have to strive to do you’re very best here. Just act like you have a clean slat. Now back to studying stupid brother.”

“Hey. I’m not stupid. All I’ve gotten are A’s so far, and high ones. How have you been? I know you weren’t in tip-top-shape for the tests yesterday, so did you bomb them?” Lib chuckled.

“Actually I haven’t had a score less then a 100, since Ive gotten here. It was fairly easy to do so. And if you hadn’t been such an asshat I might’ve helped you. Especially since you were only in the top ten because I helped you study. And if you don’t play nice then I won’t even think about forgiving you…” Lib banged his head down on the desk, “I guess you will get back to studying then? If you complete what I’ve given you so far, I may just let you have lunch with Jun and me today.”

With his face still on the desk Lib responded, “Really? You mean it?”

“Yes… I mean it.” Lil shock her head.

“Yes!” He practically jumped out of his chair, ”I’m going to study so hard I’ll get it done and have time to talk before we go!”

I couldn’t help but chuckle at their interaction, I was barely gone for 20 minutes, and yet Lil had Lib doing homework and a semi-normal conversation. I wonder what they could of talked about to change Lil’s mind. Who knows but Lib seams like such a nice guy and alpha, I don’t see how he could be super influenced by others. And Lil seams more relaxed now that they’ve made up, that could also be the heat.

It was getting close to lunch when Lib closed his book and turned around excitedly, “I’m done! So let’s get some lunch!”

“Okay… what do you want?” Lil finally looked up from her laptop and looked at Lib.

“Umm… what about pizza? We could have it delivered and eat either outside or in here. OH! We could also get ice cream!” Lib responded jumping out of his chair a little.

“That sounds good with me, but nothing too crazy” I’m not a picky eater but I don’t like weird pizza.

“Is cheese and pepperoni okay?”Lil asking the two of us, we both nodded in response, “Do you guys want breadsticks and cheese too?” We nodded yes again, “K, I’ll order it, and we’re getting vanilla ice cream. Theres no changing my mind. But… it’s my treat for the two of you helping me out last night.” She stepped out into the back hallway with her phone to order the food.

Once she closed the door behind her, I turned to face Lib, “Lib what happened? I thought you said that she was going to kill you? How’d you get her to talk to you without calling you a lowlife?”

His face brightened up, “Well I rushed to change and get back before you would return, and begged on my knees for her to forgive me… it was a really pathetic sight… but after I talked to you… I felt like maybe just maybe she’d forgive me or at least give me a shot at forgiveness.”

“So you two won’t be at each others throats out in public anymore?” I asked, I’m happy that their taking steps.

“Oh… well… umm… we talked about it and… we have decided that its best to go about our daily lives as we were originally. My pack is almost the exact same as it was at PVT, so it’s full of bad influences. And Lil thought it best if we didn’t give them any hints that our relationship has improved.” I must have had a worried look on my face cause he suddenly looked really down and started scratching the back of his neck, “Listen… it’s just for now. Well until we can find a better way or somehow get me transferred to a new pack. And don’t get me wrong, I know they said it wasn’t allowed except under extreme circumstances. But Lil always finds a way to get what she wants or needs. Whether it is in her hands or in some else’s. She will always find a way.”

“Alright, I got it. But just letting you know, that means that I’ll have to hate you out in public, so don’t expect me to go easy on you.” I smiled at him and we both laughed it off.

Not long after, Lil walked back in saying it was gonna be here in about 20 to 30 minutes and asked what we wanted to do until then. We ended up deciding to watch something on one of the laptops until it got here. We were watching one of Lib shows, I didn’t watch it so I had no idea what was going on, and Lil said the only things she knew about it was what Lib had told her.

When the episode was almost over Lil got a call from the front desk saying that the food she ordered had arrived. Lib and I offered to go and get it. We let Lil’s room and took the elevator down. When we got to the front desk, they handed us two large pizza boxes, a medium sized pizza box, a plastic bag with a half gallon of ice cream, and a container with three drinks in it. Lib took the pizza boxes and I took the ice cream and drinks. We then headed back to Lil room.

When we got there, we opened up the pizza boxes, passed out the drinks, and put the ice cream away in her fridge. The ice cream was hard as a rock so we knew it wouldn’t melt in the fridge, just thaw. We sat down, eating right out of the pizza boxes, watching the tv show. Eventually we all had our full, and got the ice cream out. Lil had spoons and mugs so we scooped it into those and continued watching the show. We continued like that for the rest of the day. When we would get hungry we would eat the left over pizza and breadsticks or a snack from Lil’s snack cabinet. And when we got tired of the show, we looked at our schedule for next year, or just hang out. The day was a lot of fun, even though Lib and I nearly got enough sleep last night, the day was relaxing. Lil and Lib ended up falling asleep beside me on the futon, and not long after they did, I nodded off.
