The Omegaverse - 3

Four weeks had passed since the incident, and Hazel had never heard from Alpha Simon. She wondered if he had found someone else to please him.

"You foolish girl, of course he did," she mumbled to herself, rolling over in bed.

"Oh my goodness, Haze, get some sleep! We will have a hard time waking up tomorrow," Jade scolded her, half asleep and assuming Hazel was talking to her.

"Two more hours before the alarm goes off... You might as well get up and pack." Hazel replied, grabbing the extra pillow from Jade's bed to make herself comfortable. She had already finished all her packing for their camping trip. First thing she packed was her pills to suppress heat.

"I'm too excited to sleep, Haze," Jade sighed. "It's going to be SO much fun! Cozy campfire, waterfalls, and hanging out with all the Alphas a---"

"Not all the Alphas..." Hazel's voice trailed off, not wanting Jade to get suspicious.

"Oh, Alpha Simon obviously doesn't count. He never mingled with the omegas." Jade reminded her.

"Mingle? He probably thinks we are dirt or some worthless vermin to even spare a glance." Hazel replied bitterly.

"Hmm... probably. Too bad because I'd choose him over the other Alphas any day. He's hot as hell-"

"You need sleep, Jade!" Hazel almost yelled at her, turning away instantly to stop the onslaught of thoughts. Thoughts of Simon and questions about why he ever let her touch him and give him pleasure when he could have found some alpha or beta woman, any woman he wanted from the pack, or any pack.    

Whenever she felt tempted to reach out to him over the mindlink, she replayed all the harsh words he had said over the months. He even scoffed at her name the first time he talked to her, 'Hazel? Because of your eye color? Tsk.'

What did he expect? She thought, feeling mad all over again. And what was wrong with the name Hazel anyway? They were all named for their skin, eyes, or hair color. As he said, they were objects of desire, meant to breed, so why would anyone take the time to give them more meaningful names? 

A sob slipped out of her as she pressed the back of her palm to her mouth. Crossing her arms around her shoulder, she rolled to her side in a fetal position, trying to fend his thoughts away.

"Yield," Alpha Simon growled, slamming the rogue wolf to the ground. The trespassing rogues were used to train the younger warriors of the pack, and Alpha Simon always fought in his wolf form when giving a demo, but he didn't trust his beast today.

He pressed his forearm against the rogue's throat, increasing the pressure when the rogue tried to rake his claws across the Alpha's bare chest. Hazel's scent was messing with his focus.

What the hell was she still doing here? He wondered, knowing she should be gone with all the omegas for a few days.

His wolf couldn't resist her at this time of the month. She didn't have to tell him; he knew she was fighting her heat, but it wasn't suppressed enough for him. His wolf stirred restlessly when a gust of wind assaulted him with her scent.

As the rogue's neck went limp under his arm, he forgot all about him and reached for the shirt he had tossed on the bench. Wiping the sweat off his face, he walked toward the source of the scent.

He hid behind the lofty pines of the pack grounds to watch Hazel as she made her way to a beat-up sedan. She was carrying a camping chair in one arm while dragging an ice cooler with the other.

"We are already so freaking late, Jade. Hurry up!" Even her yelling sounded sweet to his ears.

A soft smile played on his lips as he followed the sunlight that caught the flyaways in her chestnut hair, creating a halo around her face. The brown tank top she wore showed the gentle curve of her shoulders and the easy grace of her movements.

His eyes were so fixed on her that he didn't even notice Jade running up to her and chatting animatedly about missing the camping bus and having to drive. Hazel's gaze drifted away from Jade, a sudden prickling sensation dancing across her skin as her eyes scanned the space where Simon was hiding.

"What? I'm talking to you, bro!" Jade snapped her fingers at Hazel. "Ready?"

"Hmm..."

The sadness in her eyes as she looked away made his chest ache. Was she thinking about me? He knew she would be gone just for a few days, but he felt a surge of longing and a strong urge to crush her in a tight hug. Was this how the mate bond was supposed to feel? None of his pack members had a mate.

A strange, gnawing sense of loneliness settled over him as he watched her car disappear down the winding road through the woods. It was for the best. I need to stay away from her, he told himself.

"These mosquitoes be damned! Where is the bug spray?" Jade walked back to the tent and found Hazel already falling asleep.

"Dude! You wanted S'mores so bad, but couldn't even wait for me to light the fire?" She exclaimed at Hazel, "Alpha Kane asked me to bring you along to the Scavenger Hunt, by the way. It will start in fifteen."

"I can't..."

"Hazie, what's going on? You are burning up so badly."

Hazel was terrified of going into heat. She had packed her pills in a backpack but changed her mind about the backpack just before leaving. Since everyone wanted to hike to the waterfalls, she switched all her stuff to a daypack to fit more water. She wasn't sure if she had moved the pills out of the backpack to the daypack. She couldn't find them anywhere now. A feverish panic gripped her, making her head throb and burn.       

"You go have fun. I just need to rest up a bit," Hazel said, flashing an assuring smile at Jade despite the thrumming pulse under her skin.

The next morning was only slightly better. Her pulse still raced hard, and her pussy was clenching and relaxing over and over, without her consent. Everyone had already left to see the waterfalls without her.

She vaguely remembered Jade trying to wake her up and fussing about Alpha Kane kissing her by the fire pit. She was too groggy to share her friend's excitement. After washing up and biting into an apple, she felt her stomach turn with unease. Grabbing a banana and copious amounts of water, she left the campsite and hit the trail. She counted on the fresh air and exercise to make her feel better. 

After following the trail for about twenty minutes, she thought she heard Jade's voice, almost wailing and gasping. Ignoring the chirping birds and rustling leaves, she tiptoed down the rolling hill until her eyes fell on Jade and Alpha Kane. Alpha Kane was lying on his back on the forest floor, which was dappled with sunlight filtering through the leaves. He held Jade's hips firmly as her tight pussy slid up and down over his slippery cock.

"Good girl, keep going," he crooned, reaching for the swollen nub of her clit and rubbing it without mercy. Jade was lost in a lusty stupor, biting her lip to hold in her moans as he pressed his palms against the weight of her breasts.

The sight of his hot mouth tormenting Jade's tits, squeezing them together and pinching the nipples before sucking on them so hard, made Hazel break into heat immediately.

Suppressing the gushing slick, she climbed up to get back on the trail to the waterfall. 

"Oh god, oh god, where do I go?" She huffed, trying to pick up the pace. She didn't want to be around any of the alphas who could instantly smell her slick and start rutting. Watching Jade and Ebony squirming in pleasure was arousing as hell, but she could never let Alpha Kane do the same to her.    

She craved Alpha Simon's touch. Her chest felt like it was caving in. The need for his body pressed against her was so intense that it blurred her vision. Throwing her daypack on the ground, she rushed toward the deep hum of the waterfall. As she rounded a bend with a sign that read Lower Falls, the scent of damp earth grew stronger. She needed the cool mist to bring the heat down, but her hiking boots were dragging her down, feeling heavy and stuffy. Stone cut into her bare feet as she slung the boots away and removed her pants.  

"I can't breathe..." she whispered to herself, lying on a wet patch of moss and looking up at the frothy churning water. She felt too weak to move any further. As she stretched her arm to touch the plunging waterfall's spray, the Alpha twins Connor and Callum approached her, their lusty gaze traveling down her body.

They had caught the scent of her heat and slick from the Upper Falls, which was miles away.
