I curled up in my rabbit fur blanket glad for a few days rest, Love hasn’t been down to see me recently and I’m starting to worry. I got up, showered and put on my uniform (as call it Armour). If he doesn’t want to see me I may as well go up to see him, I opened my door Love’s scent that used to be so strong on it was now faded. The other Delta’s have also noticed but didn’t say anything, probably also noticed the lack of his scent on me as well.

Walking up the stairs, I tried to remember what we last fought about. It was probably me being out on those long missions. Either that or talking about mating, which is strange since he’s the one that brings it up. Now that I think about it, he brings up all the arguments and it always seems like it’s my fault.

Maybe we should stop being mates now. He seems so unhappy in this relationship and I want nothing to do with being with him long term. I told him this many times.

I was handed some glasses and I was let out into the Pack life, it looks a lot more livelier, maybe because it was now Spring. Certainly smell’s like it was in the air. Damn Love Bugs, they should go back to hibernating.

Love should be teaching right now, would it seem like I’m intruding if I visit him? I don’t want to seem too pushy, especially when he’s working. What would others do about this situation?

I started my walk to the Omega District, I was going to get nowhere standing in one spot overthinking this. My tacking got so much better, I use it mostly for everything now. For when I’m about to bump into someone, when food is ready, how Love is feeling, haven’t really noticed his feelings recently. Feels like I’ve been too busy, does he think I forgot about him?

I knocked on the door and waited for confirmation to enter. Would he hate me being here? I took a sniff, the Omega’s were napping and Love was also dosing. I entered and seen him sprawled on his desk, glasses nearly falling off but held in place by his arm. The Omega’s were in the corner softly purring, I walked up to Love and removed the glasses setting them aside. I ran my hand through his hair a few times and rubbed my head to his shoulder scenting him.

I watched him for a few moments giving a soft gruff purr (because I am cursed to never be able to keep it soft and lovable) and quietly left. He was never one for giving affection, he was very much content with receiving.

I walked into the Alpha Den, relieved that everything was peaceful, the food smelled delicious today. Why was it so livelier? What day is it today? Couldn’t be anything special... could it?

“Our Alpha returns! How are you on this fine gorgeous day? Can’t you just smell the freshness of our food?” one of the cooks called out cheerfully.

“Does Spring normally turn wolves into idiots?”

“Oh little one, you’ll see later today, for now eat up you’ll need it after.”

I walked around the pack trying to gauge what was so special. There was a lot of buzz in the air but nothing specific. What was up... why won’t anyone say anything, unless they really didn’t know.

A howl sounded and everyone rushed to the meeting area for the Alpha’s announcement. I found my friends and stood with them. They were too excited to explain what was happening and it was a bit irritating. I looked around and wondered where Salem was, he was always first to arrive for meetings.

“Silver Moon!” I was wrapped up in a hug from behind by Love, it was calming to have him happy again and I wondered if it had something to do with my visit earlier.

“I, Alpha Franklin, introduce to you Alpha Salem Atkins and his Wolf Alpha Ice,” the world froze for a moment and Salem was looking at me. Justice’s voice was in the distance but it felt like a warning, my body and voice moved on their own. I howled.

I have no idea what happened later but I found myself hanging out in Love’s apartment, my mouth tastes bitter and an uneasy feeling in my stomach. I sat up and realized what the uneasy feeling was as I threw up the bitter and acid tasting liquid.

“Oh, Silver Moon are you okay?” Love purred fluttering about clumsily in the dark. I appreciate that thought but having him hurt in the process wasn’t something I wanted.

“Turn on the light first before you rip your head on the coffee table. What happened? Why am I here and what time is it?”

“You don’t have a mission do you?”

“No they’ll come find me when I do, figured you would want to spend as much time with me before I leave.” Love relaxed and turned on the light and started cleaning up the mess I’ve made on his living room floor. “Sorry.”

“It’s okay, Silver Moon, I’m just glad you’re here. It’s not too bright is it?”

“It’s fine, stop worrying about it, I can adjust to it quickly.”

“You know how you said that you would wait for Salem to find his wolf before you’d start drinking. Well to sum it up, you howled first which shocked the pack then the howls went into an uproar welcoming Salem. You, your friends, Salem, Knox, Lake and Jayden and I went to the Alpha Den and rounds were being passed around. You held up very well for an Omega and even challenged your Rank on a drinking game. You won of course but Salem was one shot away from winning. After that it was a raging party, dancing, howling, loud noises and I believe an orgy happened among that but I was focused on you to care much of that.”

“I see,” I said and tried to wrap my head around how stupid it was to put my Rank up like that.

“You asked me to mark you...” I froze, I asked him to what? Why would I do such a thing? Was this a joke? “I didn’t, instead we just sat and made out during the last of the party before you passed out. I’m holding up on my promise to wait for you to turn 18, that is if you still want to.”

“I’m... feeling a bit dizzy...” I decided to say, it was true but I also didn’t want to have an argument about being mates. Love snapped out of his head and helped me to the bathroom where I spent most of an hour I believe getting rid of the bitter liquid I had consumed that night. I brushed my teeth and rinsed out my mouth before going into Love’s room where he was setting up the bed for us. Not sure when I started migrating from the couch to the bed whenever I visit but it always seems to happen. He gave me a glass of water and we settled down for the rest of the night.

I woke up to a nice smell and figured that hugging the scent was a fantastic idea. I purred rubbing my face in the scent. Then the scent went sharp and the sound of distress woke me up fully, I had Love’s hair in my mouth, my left hand holding his head back and covering his eyes and my right hand gripping his right peck just above his nipple. This position suggested a possessive hold on the Omega, asking for permission to mark them and take them.

I let him go immediately questioning my sanity right now.

“It’s fine, you’re still drunk. It felt nice, so just hold me?” Love was breathless his back still to me, I rested my head to his left shoulder blade and let my right arm hang loosely around him. “Sorry, you wouldn’t let me go so I just, kind of did it here. This is the last day of my Rut, I swear... it wasn’t as strong as the previous days just... yeah.”

A knock was heard at the door, seeing as my Omega was out of it at the moment, I got up and answered the door. It was North, he nodded and I understood that it was time for a mission. I nodded and closed the door to get my armour on ready to leave.

“Sorry Love, I have to leave for a mission, I’ll be back in a few days.”

“Will you be okay? I mean you, we, I...”

“I’ll be fine, the effects won’t last long, I’m not feeling anything so no damage done and I’m sorry for leaving you in this state. I really am.”

“Okay...”

“I have to get going now Love, I’ll see you in a few days.”

They must have waited for me to finish celebrating with my friends to send me out on that mission, it was nothing but labour's work. We went around in a convoy handing out boxes of supplies for the town, Ariorough, by the ocean. The bridge to Ariorough collapsed and the supply truck needs to go around in order to get to the town. It was exhausting and my Stick won’t let it go that I howled first for my ‘boyfriend’ to stay in the pack. Even if I told them he made me promise they just teased me more with that fuel to the fire. Then when things died down North decided to open his mouth and it started all over again but with Love this time and some sort of Love Triangle. How am I in a pack with these dogs? Honestly!

I picked up another box and was making my way to the loading dock when I noticed a nice smell of fresh cut apples. I turned to South and asked if they could smell the apples, they only shook their head no and went ahead of me. I put the box down and decided to follow the scent.

“Black!” Alpha barked at me and I quickly went back to finish my task. The scent long gone from my mind by the time we got back to the Den. “Don’t relax yet,” I was stretching as we walked in the warehouse, “we have a patrol after we eat. Meet back here in wolf in 30.”

I showered quickly in the Alpha Den bathrooms and went to the Canteen and ate with the Alpha’s and my friends. Salem was boasting about his recent achievements about being physically stronger as a wolf he also had more control over how to use his pheromones. I put my tray away and started my way out waving to them trying to catch a scent of Love before I leave.

“Angelique! Hold up,” Salem ran to my side, he was quiet for a moment as we made our way to Love’s classroom in the Omega District.

“What?” I ask finally wanting to get rid of him. Love told me that he and Salem never got along and it made Love uneasy when he smells him near. Salem looked at me and smiled, shaking my head I went to Love and shut the door in Salem’s face.

“Silver Moon!” Love ran to me quickly and wrapped me up in a hug. I smelled a different scent on Love and wondered what happened in those few days.

“Ya good?” I asked when Love started scenting me like crazy.

“I am now,” Love sighed holding me close, “you staying long?”

“I have a patrol in a few minutes, was hoping to catch you before I left.”

“I am caught,” Love purred squeezing me before letting me go, “will you be back tonight?”

“I can try, I don’t know my full schedule for the rest of the day but-” I turned my head slightly hearing my Alpha howl as a last warning. “I have to go, see you later.”

~ o ~ m ~ e ~ g ~ a ~

Frowning as the door shut cutting him off from the little Omega he turned and wondered why it hasn’t worked. It should work. Mother says that it was a sure fire way to have what you want. Well he’ll come around eventually, just have to keep trying. But that Alpha in there is really bothersome.

~ o ~ m ~ e ~ g ~ a ~

We ran until midnight, checking every scent and sound that didn’t belong on Pack Territory. My paws were sore at the slow speed we’ve travelled.

“Delta Starts soon, be on own paws after Ceremony.”

“Yeah, I was thinking of staying with Love, I’ll bring it up in the morning and tell him about it. Where did you stay when you graduated?” The Delta Graduation Ceremony is when you are a full Delta and you are an Adult. Which also means you can no longer stay in the Delta Cave. You have to get your own place to stay with the money that was saved up from mock Delta missions.

“I am my own, no other paw to rely on.”

“Oh, I guess family didn’t help.” It happens a lot for Delta’s, family won’t help neither will friends and in some cases Mates if they have them.

“Sister had pup with Love.”

“Did they name the pup after you?”

“Yes, I am still in thought even now.” Soul 2 remained quiet for the rest of the patrol, I debated on visiting Love and sleeping over his place or returning back to my own room. I shook my head as if it was a stupid thought. Of course Love, I’ve been away from him too much.

I always knock before I open the door on my own but that didn’t happen tonight. I knocked and the door flew open and I was pulled inside. “Welcome home, Silver Moon,” Love purred holding me tight. “I missed you.”

“Sorry I’m late, you didn’t have to wait up for me,” I hugged him back and we sat on the couch for a bit to have tea. Love talked of his last few days and saying that he met a new friend I added my comment about the new scent on him and he said that was the new friend. He says that the new friend is a hug kind of person. I mentioned nothing of my scent being replaced by the friend and figured I’d bring it up in my next Doctor visit. As an Omega-Born I’m scheduled for a meeting with the Doctor once a month to check my Physical, Mental and Emotional well being. I also get to ask more questions on the Physical aspect of relationships. Speaking of, I need to ask about Alpha’s and their Ruts. Oh and what the Apple scent was about.

Love’s breathing slowed and I realized that he feel asleep. I took my time finishing my tea before bringing him to his room. Oh, I forgot to tell him about the Delta Ceremony. Oh well, more time in the morning I hope.

I slept curled up in blankets and pillows and a fantastic scent I almost didn’t want to get up. I felt weak but I was starting to feel hungry. I opened my eyes and sat up slowly, taking a quick glance around I realized I made a nest in my sleep. I guess my body was feeling stressed, the last time I did this Love hated it. I got up and fixed it up how he likes it, feeling a bit anxious as I did so. Just have to keep reminding myself that Love hates it.

I walked out and seen no sign of him or scent. Seems like he’s been gone for awhile. He must be teaching right now. Also nothing to indicate that he made any food, I would make him something but I wasn’t allowed to use the kitchen. Everything is always clean, so I guess I’ll just leave him a note and go to my room in the Delta Cave.

~ o ~ m ~ e ~ g ~ a ~

I walked to the Alpha Den and ate something there, feeling out of it, didn’t really care what was happening in the Den. I heard Knox saying to leave me be and I felt better after that and gave the rest of my sweets to him as a Thank You before leaving to rest. I laid down in my bed, it wasn’t much to make a nest thankfully at least now I can train myself not to make one.
