The Omega and his Luna mate

Chapter 4: Making a plan

I woke up feeling better, werewolf healing had cleared up any bruising I had. Unfortunately it didn’t help with mental health, those scars stayed.

Amy wasn’t much better than me, I saw her downstairs and while she was healed on the outside, she wasn’t on the inside. She looked quiet and withdrawn and when she saw me, she ran into my arms.

“Adam,” she whispered, clinging to me and sobbing hard.

“Hey darling,” I murmured. “What’s up? Rough night?”

She nodded and mumbled, “Declan was rougher than ever, he and Jared took turns making it forceful and painful.” Lowering her voice further she whispered, “Jared wanted me screaming in pain and begging.”

I held her tight while she cried in my arms. I wanted nothing more than to kill him, I could go fight him and I knew I’d win, it wouldn’t change my rank, but it would have been worth it.

I couldn’t really do much though, we were in an impossible situation, if I beat him up it would mean Zack punishing me in his dungeon and the next time would be even worse and more painful for Amy, Jared would make sure of it and I didn’t want to make it worse for her.

I pulled Amy with me to the corner of the room for more privacy and whispered, “I’m so sorry, darling, I wish I could beat the f***k out of him for you, but I know it would make things worse. Why don’t you come to work with me today?”

She didn’t say anything, but she hugged me tighter and nodded against my chest. I stroked her hair quietly until she slowly calmed down.

Then she pulled back and mumbled, “I’ll go get dressed.”

I stroked her cheek and kissed her forehead. “I’ll be right here, babe.”

I watched her go.

We had talked about running away before, but we’d never really been serious about it, we were too afraid of not belonging to a pack, but right now, I was very seriously considering it, I’d run for her sake.

She looked beautiful when she came down to me, she was wearing an olive green summer dress and her makeup was done perfectly, you wouldn’t think she was suffering inside.

Her skin was flawless like mine, and she had dark blue eyes with the same moon gold flecks running through, a symbol of us being omegas maybe? It could be our looks as a whole as she was just as beautiful as I was, I wondered if it was some sort of weird survival thing, like being pretty would help us omegas stay alive, I don’t f.ucking know.

She’d curled her white blonde hair and it came down to her hips and made her red full lips stand out.

She shyly came over to me which wasn’t like her, so I knew she was still feeling vulnerable.

Anyone on the outside would think she was fine.

Happy even.

They’d never see the pain underneath.

I hated that.

Because I knew exactly how much effort it took to smile when you were falling apart.

“You ready, beautiful?” I grinned.

She grinned back, a real one and nodded.

We were walking for about ten minutes when she slipped her hand in mine. I looked at her, and she gave me a sheepish smile. “Sorry, I need your omega perk to help keep me calm and feeling happy, mine doesn’t work on myself.”

“Then steal mine.”

She laughed softly.

“I just need to feel better.”

I squeezed her hand.

“Then keep holding it.”

Her shoulders relaxed almost instantly.

“You know,” I said. “Holding hands with a beautiful woman is a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”

“Oh shut up,” she smiled.

I grinned and held her hand until we got to my workplace.

I quickly dropped it, and she looked at me with some of her old spark. “Are you embarrassed to hold my hand Adam?”

“Pfft, what? No, of course not.”

“You dropped it like it was on fire.”

“I didn’t, you’re imagining things.”

“Take my hand then.” She held it out to me and I stepped back. “No need, I’m about to use my hands for work, I’ll hold it when we go home.”

She narrowed her eyes at me and stomped on my foot.

“f***k!” I grabbed my foot hopping and then lost my balance and tripped when Ellie came over to us.

I grinned up at her from the floor.

She rose an eyebrow. “Get up.”

I jumped up and she looked at Amy.

I stood by Amy and explained, “she’s a friend in my pack, she had a rough time, so I said she could come along with me to work if that’s alright?”

I’d never gone into detail about my pack or what I had to do for them, but she knew enough, she had worked it out for herself over the years and her eyes softened. “Yes, that’s fine.”

I got to work underneath one of the cars and asked Amy to pass me the torque wrench, somehow she handed me some pliers.

I rolled out from under the car to look at her. “Uh, you at least know these are pliers right?”

She shrugged and taking them back off me, she handed me a small hammer instead.

“That’s a f.ucking hammer Amy.”

“I don’t know, you do it!” She huffed and kicked the padded trolley I was laying on, making me roll back under the car.

Sighing, I rolled back out and sat up. “Fine, I’ll do it, miss grumpy pants.”

“You’re the grumpy one.”

“No I’m not.”

She threw a dirty rag at me and I threw it back, not meaning for it to land on her face.

I laughed hysterically when it did. “You look like f.ucking Jason Voorhees when he wears that sack!” I laughed.

She pulled the rag off, and I laughed harder when I saw dirt on her face.

“D.ick!” She yelled and threw it back at me, I was laughing when I caught it in my hands, the laughter died in my throat when I saw Ellie look in at us.

“Sorry boss! We’ll be more quiet.” I jumped up and wetting a clean rag and went over to Amy.

I gently wiped the grease from her cheek cleaning her up.

“You ruined my makeup,” she frowned.

“Sorry darling, but you don’t need all that, you’re already so beautiful.” I kissed her forehead and Ellie asked, “are you two a couple?”

“No, definitely not,” I laughed.

Amy sort of laughed awkwardly with me and when I turned to look at her, she quickly turned her face from me.

Ellie laughed at us both.

“So cute, wouldn’t think you’re a twenty-six-year-old man, you really don’t see it, do you?”

“See what?”

She shook her head and said, “one, you two act like a loved up couple and two, it’s so obvious Amy likes you.”

Amy shot up so fast her chair nearly toppled over. “No I don’t! She said looking flustered and blushing bright red.

“Uh huh, sure.” Ellie left us after that and still not really understanding what she meant I got back to work. Obviously, Amy liked me, I liked her too, we had been friends for years.

When it was time to head home she clutched my hand tightly, tight enough I didn’t try to pull away from her before Ellie could see, I knew she needed me right now.

As we were walking it was silent for a while, and then she blurted, “Ellie was right, I do have a big crush on you.”

“Huh?” Was my brilliant reply.

“I like you a lot,” she whispered, blushing bright red.

“I like you too.”

“Really?” She looked up at me hopefully, and it finally clicked.

“Oh, well, you’re a great friend and well, yeah, you’re super pretty and nice.” I was stumbling over my words like a prat. “I guess I do like you too, yes.”

She threw herself at me and hugged me so tight we fell to the floor.

“Woah, easy,” I laughed.

“Sorry,” she giggled and then asked, “can I kiss you? I’ve never kissed anyone before so I don’t know if I’ll be good at it and—”

I cut her off gently.

Leaning forward, I pressed a soft kiss against her lips.

When I pulled away, her eyes were wide with shock.

A grin spread across my face. “You can kiss me.”

“But you like Kaitlyn.”

I shrugged. “Eh, I have a crush on her, I’m not in love with her or anything.”

“Ok, so, like what are we then?”

“What do you want us to be?”

“I want you to be my mate,” she blushed. I don’t know why she blushed so much, she was stunning and should be so much more confident than she was about herself.

“Ok, sure, why not,” I grinned.

I stood up and helped her to her feet. Holding hands and walking again I said, “I think we should really do it you know.”

“Do what?” She looked up at me.

“We should run away.”

“But we won’t have a pack to protect us.”

“I’ve taught myself to fight well enough I can beat even the second in commands if I wanted to, I can keep us safe, and we could, well, I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but we could maybe be our own pack, make more pack members.” It was my turn to blush then.

“Do you mean we can breed and mate?”

I nodded and she looked excited. “I would love that, I’ve always wanted pups of my own.”

In some ways, we were very human, but in others more wolf like, we didn’t focus on time frames as much as humans, we weren’t afraid to discuss heavy topics like having children so soon. Even when a female was due her period, she went in to heat for us males.

Zack weirdly allowed Amy those times off knowing it was too dangerous for her to be around males at that time, I was fine because I was an omega, I could lose some control, but nothing like the dominant males and Zack knew this, if they had s**x with Amy while she was in heat they’d have her pregnant absolutely.

She seemed happier now we had a plan we wanted to go ahead with, it’s something we had discussed on and off for over a year, only thing left was to figure out how to do it.

When we got to the door we stopped, and I stroked her hair from her face softly. “Be strong, just focus on the thought that we will be leaving this hellhole, ok?”

She nodded smiling and hugged me then quickly pulled away before anyone caught us.

It was the same as last night pretty much, luckily Zelma didn’t want me tonight. I could barely make a sandwich without someone pawing at me or grabbing me. I was glad when tomorrow came. It was a Saturday too and Zack allowed me and Amy Saturdays off to recover, god forbid his precious toys broke or something.

I pulled on my jeans, did my belt up, yanked my combat boots on and pulled on a fitted shirt that stretched across my broad shoulders and chest. My hair was tousled and messy and looked good as it was, so I didn’t bother styling it.

I found Amy after breakfast and dragged her out with me. “Where are we going?” She asked.

“Nowhere, I needed you away from the pack so we can talk about escaping.”

I pulled her in to the woods that was not far from town, it was too risky to use the pack’s woods. On the other side of town were where the vampires had settled, again, humans didn’t trust them at all, even now, they still somewhat believed their bite could turn them in to a vampire too, so they weren’t allowed to travel outside of this country.

It wasn’t true though, in real life vampires couldn’t turn a human with a bite, they didn’t need to feed from one either, any fresh living blood would do them, just like people some vampires were nice and some were evil, it was odd they couldn’t turn humans because they could turn other supernaturals.

If a werewolf was bitten, then they became a sort of half-breed, they needed to drink blood but not as much as a true vampire, and they could also still eat real food, in a way, it actually made us stronger, we got the perks of being a vampire without the annoying trait of not being able to come out in the sun, we still had our wolf form and vampires usually had different types of gifts, some were psychic and could read your future, present or past and others could move as fast as lightening.

None of us wanted to get bitten though, most werewolves thought you tainted if you were. We were safe in these woods though, from both vampires and werewolves overhearing us.
