Milo

Milo woke up slowly and coldly.

Why the fuck was it so cold?

Sluggishly, Milo sought the warm Alpha, twisting and turning on the bed until he concluded that the ridiculously attractive Alpha must have slinked off somewhere. 

Completely awake now, and a little pissed, Milo propped himself up on his elbows, and was surprised to find himself pain-free.

Confused Milo, thoroughly checked himself over. The vibrant bruises that had littered him had completely disappeared, leaving smooth, unblemished skin. Even the fractures that had him hissing in pain with every movement felt completely healed.

What the fuck was going on?

Milo stood on wobbly, unused legs, ready to shake down the Alph- Jasper for some answers.

Turning the corner to the body of the cabin, Milo numbly came to a stop in the doorway.

“Milo,” Jasper quickly reached out to the shaky omega, who quickly batted his hands away.

"I'm fine. Stop your fussing." Milo grumbled, before turning his gaze back to the odd sight before him.

The previously, dark and rustic cabin was alight with a smattering of well-used candles. Milo was about to mention the obvious fire hazard, before noticing that the flammable odds and ends that had littered the floor had been cleaned away. Even the dusty floor appeared to have been recently swept.

Did Jasper clean for him?

Milo slipped around the broad Alpha and finally caught sight of smoke tendrils, languidly dancing out of a large metal tub.

Oh my god, finally a bath!

“You did all of this?” Milo was breathless with gratitude.

“I thought you still might be sore,” the Alpha turned to the large basin filled with hot, steaming water. 

“I mean, there are hot springs too, but I thought you might be too tired to walk there, so I…” Jasper was rambling now.

Milo should not have found it so adorable.

“So you drew me a bath,” Milo cut the Alpha off, raising a dark eyebrow in amusement. 

“Yes,” Jasper’s voice was dark.

Skirting the edge of the tub, Milo tested the water against his inner wrist. A smidge too hot, just less of burning.

Perfect.

Looking up at the Alpha through his lashes, Milo waited for Jasper to give him some privacy. Jasper only raised a thick eyebrow, copying Milo’s earlier move.

Fine, Milo would not let some stubborn Alpha ruin his well-needed bath.

Pretending he was in his gym’s changing room back home, Milo stripped off his dark, blood-soaked shirt. Tossing it somewhere behind him. A second later, his ripped socks joined the pile.

With that done, Milo tucked his thumbs into his dark jeans, candidly tugging them down along with his boxers. Milo could swear he heard Jasper's jaw clench.

Once all of his clothes sat in a neat pile, Milo slunk back to the tub, hoisting himself over the tall rim and into the steaming water.

Milo let out an indecent moan as he relaxed into the delicious water up to his shoulders.

Finally, glancing at the Alpha, Milo was pleased with what he saw.

Jasper leaned, bracing himself against the tub. His glowing eyes made him look downright feral.

Milo purred in satisfaction. Milo had always enjoyed playing with fire. Seeing how hard he could push before someone finally snapped.

And Milo really enjoyed playing with Jasper, having power over the deadly Alpha.

Milo downright smirked as he watched the Alpha trail his vibrant eyes down Milo’s toned stomach… lower. 

Milo closed his eyes, tucking his hands languidly behind his head.

Let the Alpha have his show. I’ll just be here enjoying my bath.

The rustling of clothes made Milo furrow his brow, but he kept his eyes closed, falling into a light doze.

Warm, callused hands pushing against his back jolted Milo from his almost slumber.

“What the hell man,” Milo demanded, whipping around to face Jasper - who was very much naked. 

“I don’t waste water,” Jasper replied with a smirk before climbing into the tub behind Milo. With a dry mouth, Milo resolutely faced away from the very ripped, very hairy, and very naked Alpha. 

That’s how Milo found himself, sitting framed between two thick legs, back rested against Jasper's warm, broad chest.

Milo was no prude, yet even he blushed scarlet. A broad finger lazily trailed down Milo’s sternum. He felt himself shiver. Jasper only huffed in amusement.

The fucker thinks this is funny? 

Coyly, Milo scooted back, planting his ass right in the Alpha's bare lap.

Milo relished in the sound of metal bending as the Alpha gripped the tub in restraint. Milo twisted his torso towards Jasper, grinding backwards. 

“Is everything alright alpha?” Milo asked sweetly, looking up into heated eyes. Jasper remained stoically silent, jaw clenched and not reacting to Milo’s teasing.

Aw well, he’ll break eventually.

Milo distracted himself by cleaning his newly acquired tail. The new appendage matched his ebony black hair. The shape wasn’t like Jasper’s jaguar-like tail. Milo’s was thin with a kink at the end. It reminded him of the alley cats that sometimes congregated behind his house. 

Milo watched in amusement as Jasper slowly traced the omega's tail in wonder.

In the peaceful quiet, Milo finally asked what had spurred him to find Jasper in the first place," how am I healed already?” 

Jasper absently drew circles on Milo’s shoulder blade. “When an Alpha changes, they become more powerful. It allows them to stay at the top of the food chain. Something in our biology just allows us to heal faster. Survive longer. It’s always been the same when omegas change.”

Milo sullenly accepted the lackluster explanation. 

As the water slowly chilled, Milo felt his empty belly rumble. 

“I’ll go hunt something,” the Alpha slowly rose behind Milo. Milo couldn’t keep his eyes from darting to the Alpha’s manhood, feeling his thighs subconsciously squeeze together at the impressive size.

As the Alpha fetched towels to dry themselves, Milo made a split-second decision.

“Take me with you.”

Jasper gave Milo a dubious look.

“I want to hunt too.” Milo insisted.

Milo feared the Alpha would outright refuse. Would keep Milo in the cabin like a stereotypical omega.

Barefoot and pregnant.

Those fears washed away as Jasper met Milo’s challenging grin with one of his own.

“Let’s see what you got.”
