Rose had spent most of the morning letting her constant pent-up anger and frustration out on a punching bag, hitting it until her bound hands had felt raw and swollen before moving over to studying. Omegas were seen as weaker, but because of the choice she had made to suppress the Omega in her combined with her hard work, Rose was mostly respected among the other. Sure, there were people who joked and whispered behind her back, but no one confronted her and no one questioned her abilities in the work or feared placing their trust in her.Sitting with her legs crossed on the bed, Rose was refreshing his memory on less common meds when Ash entered her room, his presence being something Rose was still unable to ignore and she quickly looked up as her brother and best friend as he walked towards her.Ash was pulling a pair of fingerless gloves on when their eyes met, and he gave Rose a friendly smile while fastening them around his wrists "Yoo"."Yoo?" Rose asked, raising one eyebrow.Ash
Back at the house the group had started working, gathering information about many things in hopes that something would come up, which it hadn't for the entirety of that week. On the sixth day after their visit to the Alpha, sometime past mid-day, Rose had started feeling hot and bothered, her hands trebling so much she couldn't aim in training and Rose pulled away and headed for her room, knowing what was about to happen.Before the day was done, Rose's heat would have fully taken her over if she hadn't taken his heat meds. Laying curled up in the pile of soft materials that was her nest inside of her closet, Rose was visibly shaking as the pain was slowly building, making her struggle to breath evenly. The pain at this stage wasn't as bad as it would be at its peak in about 24 hours (where it would stay for another 24-36 hours) but Rose could already feel and hear her pulse in her ears and at the back of her head, a burning ache in the pit of her stomach and a cutting pain passing th
Sebestian had sat there for a few hours before Rose had even begun to stir, but the second she did, Sebestian wished she would have just gone on sleeping. In her sleep, Rose would sob and shake, but when she woke the rather quiet sobs turned into desperate cries as she dug her fingers into her skin, clawing at it like the cure for her pain was to remove her own skin.Moving over in the small, confined space, Sebestian tried to stay on his knees outside Rose's nest, knowing that any Omega (even one as resisting as Sebestian) would be sensitive about what kind of scents were surrounding them. Just as he lifted the glass of water off the floor, Rose curled up before what seemed like all the muscles in her body tensed up and she started coughing, hard."Rose" Sebestian tried, but he didn't know what to say because nothing he could possibly say would help the poor omega in front of him. Gasping, Sebestian held his breath as a wave of bitter Omega scent washed over him seconds before Rose c
"Sebestian?"Opening his eyes again, Sebestian looked at Monika who was sitting with bedhead in Rose's bed, looking at him as she wrapped the covers around herself even though she was clearly still dressed "Are you OK?""Yeah" Sebestian nodded and pushed away from the door, his legs feeling weak as he took a few steps forward. "Rose is getting better, so I should probably get going" Sebestian tried to smile though every cell in his body was crying out for him to not leave.Monika tipped her head to the side, her make-up from the day before was smeared out and still she looked more beautiful than the average girl ever could "Is she awake?".Shaking his head, Sebestian tried to straighten out his cloths, knowing he could clean them with the snap of his fingers, but not sure he wanted to."You should stay until she does, she can be stubborn and difficult at times, but I am sure she will want to thank you for your help" Monika smiled, rubbing one of her eyes with her free hand.Shaking hi
Rose bit down hard on her lip as she knocked on the door before quickly moving back far enough for her heels to almost knock against the wall behind her. She hadn't taken her omega meds yet, she couldn't, and she hadn't actually been close to an Alpha except Ash for past months, so she stepped back to not be a bother for the other man.Time ticked by extremely slowly and Rose was almost contemplating leaving when there was a sound coming from the other side of the door, followed by one of them being pulled open. Holding her breath, Rose looked at Sebestian who now stood only a few meters away from her, hair, clothes and make-up on point as always, but with a surprised look on his face.Fuck, Rose thought, suddenly remembering all of her worries from when she first woke up. She had looked like a mess, she had smelled, she had been weak and pathetic and worthless and what if Sebestian had been grossed out? Why was she even here?"Eh, I just wanted to say thank you, Monika told me about
"I am sure she is trouble" Ash huffed annoyed, spinning a blade in the palm of his hand, testing its balance as he looked over at Monika who were punching at the hanging heavy bag in front of her."I think - he could be - good for Rose" Monika replied, a few word between each punch. Rose had seemed more relaxed the last two days, Monika had actually caught her smiling once or twice for no reason, and that was unheard of when it came to her big sister.Ash pressed his tongue against his upper teeth, sucking in air until it made a high-pitched squeaking sound "I don't know, he is just so""Good looking?" Monika asked, punching the bag so hard her knuckles almost bruised."No""Kind?" Monika guessed again."No, he is just" Ash tried."Powerful?" Monika asked as she punch the bag one last time before wrapping her arm around it, hanging off it slightly."Monika, really?" Ash sounded annoyed as he put the blade he had been playing with down."What is your problem with him Ash, really? I kno
"Your turn". Holding out her knife again, Rose waited until Sebestian took it off her, hiding a small shiver as Sebestian' fingers brushed over her."You need this" Rose said and held up a finger tab to protect Sebestian' fingers. Walking around Sebestian after he had taken the tab, Rose grabbed an arm guard and strapped it around Sebestian' right arm to protect it from the snap of the string. She didn't need that herself anymore, but with Sebestian at least saying he was a beginner, Rose wasn't taking any chances.Grabbing another knife, Rose handed Sebestian that as well and then stood back looking at the Alpha as he held it both, looking a little bit lost, which Rose had to admit was a little sweet.Coping Rose the best he could, Sebestian pulled, surprised with just how hard it was to hold it like this."You need to spread your legs more" Rose said, looking at how Sebestian feet were placed on the ground.Sebestian looked down at his feet and then at Rose, a playful grin on his fa
Rose hadn't answered Sebestian' text that night, or the next day or even the day after so Sebestian couldn't help but think that maybe it had been a lot more one sided than he had first thought. Lying in bed after having spent the day drinking (in general) with Damon, Sebestian had just turned off the lights and gotten comfy when his phone vibrated and beeped.Getting it off his bedside table, Sebestian' squinted his eyes at the light streaming off the phone when he picked it up and quickly turned down the light. It was almost 2am, but when he saw who the text was from it suddenly didn't matter.R: Hope you had a good day. -RIt was short and random, but because it was from Rose, Sebestian couldn't help but smile. Had he been a few years younger he might have tried to play hard to get and not answer right away (if they had had texting back then), but Sebestian was too old to play silly games and decided against it no matter how long Rose made him wait between texts, he'd answer as he
