Forbidden Omega

Chapter Six

As the cool water cascaded from the rainfall shower head it did nothing to distract Tristan's heated thoughts from the morning. Although she had been wearing a baggy t-shirt and old leggings he had seen her in at the farm he was having fun imagining what was underneath. Not only had she dealt with training with the Beta with an air of quiet confidence, she had managed twice to out manoeuvre him. This girl was on another level. She took some serious hits, got dirty, covered in sweat and not one complaint or mumble. She considered his proposal for running logically and straight away made the point that she would want to exceed what he could. Surprisingly it did not come across as cocky or competitive more that she had very high standards for herself.

The girls that had shown interest in him from school and in the pack had all been very pretty to look at, some of them very smart but none of them gave him a feeling that he wanted to take it further to a relationship. He was used to all girls in the pack making subtle advances at him hoping that they would be the next Luna. Unlucky for them though a small pull deep in his gut from childhood meant that he was always looking for one girl in the playground and hallways, Alla. They played together in kindergarten and grew up going through school together but she was always the quiet kid in the corner reading a book, studying, early to class, last to leave, always friendly to everyone but never one to be in a crowd. This made opportunities to speak with her or at least acknowledge her difficult especially when she never took part in any school sports or extra circular clubs and in only a couple of his classes. The small pull that he had always felt had never been strong enough to have created feelings of possessiveness or jealousy, until now. He was feeling the pull getting stronger the closer he was getting to his 18th Birthday. He was starting to feel protective when others were admiring the beautiful women she was becoming. During his last trip accompanying his father to the farm on Ranked Members business, he noticed how the other workers were looking at Alla and how they interacted. He found himself feeling pride towards her as she interacted with her colleagues plus Trey the Farm Manager spoke highly of her during their update meeting.

His daydreams of Alla had become more frequent and intense. They were so realistic that he could feel the soft curve of her hips under his fingertips, the warmth from her body as she would lean back into his chest while they were speaking with their friends. With her arms crossed she would slip her fingers into his while his thumbs rubbed under her shirt. Her sweet scent of vanilla and chocolate would fill his senses as she would rest her head on his shoulder laughing mid conversation turning face to him. Gently his lips would place a kiss on her forehead as she smiled at him during their conversations.

Taking a deep breath he steadied himself opening his eyes from his daydream. He started to smile a slow lazy smile with an assured feeling that it wouldn't be too long until he would be able to do these things. He was curious as to what her full scent would be but he kept imagining vanilla and chocolate. He wouldn't know until his 18th Birthday when he would get to meet his wolf.

There was a loud banging on his bedroom door, "Tristan, Tristan, TRISTAN"

Reality grounded him with a shudder as he heard the banging, Quickly turning off the shower and wrapping a towel round his waist on the way to his bedroom door. Opening the door he found Fleur his sister still in her athletic wear from the mornings session looking slightly out of breath. Even at 6’ with an athletic build Fleur was still dwarfed by her younger brothers 6’5 frame, despite the 5 year age difference.  

"What's up"

"Mom sent me to hurry you up something to do with a shopping trip you have to go on for Friday?? I have to go and get showered to head out to work I am already running late – don’t make me come back and knock again little big bro!"

"Sure thing, Mum say what I have to go for" he called to her retreating back as she was walking back down the corridor.

“Don’t know, don’t care I am late late late!!”

"Your always late Fleur, why change a habit of a lifetime"

His sister held up her hand with her middle finger extended just as she disappeared into her room.

Chuckling Tristan closed his door and headed straight into his closet pulling on his usual jeans and t-shirt combo. His body had always been muscular but as he was getting closer to his 18th Birthday his body gaining more muscle rapidly to ensure that he was physically able to take over as Alpha and handle his wolf. As his body changed he noticed more and more female attention and couldn’t deny that he was enjoying it but his t-shirts were definitely getting a bit too tight so he could do with getting some new ones.

As he was the only male child in his family it automatically meant that he would take his fathers place when the time was right. His Sisters thankfully were are extremely supportive, except Lilly. Lilly was 7 years older than him and she had always worked extremely hard with a view to challenging her Brother for Alpha rights up until she met her mate Drew when she was 22 visiting the Black Rock Pack. One thing led to another and 6 months after their mating ceremony she fell pregnant with triplets. She was adamant right up until she had the triplets that she still wanted to challenge for the Alpha position. She keeps telling Tristan that she will challenge when the Triplets Cane, Poppy and Rose are older but no one takes her too seriously as they can see how much she enjoys being a mother.

15 minutes later Tristan was standing in front of the packhouse waiting on his Mother coming. He had asked one of the Omega’s to get his SUV out of the garage that way her could drive and keep himself distracted from his daydreams. As his Mum approached she was politely saying hello to all the pack members on her way to the car. She knew every single one by name and knew their families so going anywhere with her could always take a while. He stood at the passenger door and opened it for his Mum whilst thanking the Omega for getting his SUV.

10 minutes into the 45 minute drive Tristan turned down the radio, “I need to get some new t-shirts today Mum is that okay with you?? Does it fit in to your shopping plans??”

“My plans are really simple sweetie, I need to help you find something for Alla’s 18th Birthday.”

“s**t, I totally forgot about Alla’s Birthday being this Friday.”

“Language Tristan, you shouldn’t of forgotten your Future Mates Birthday!”

“Future Mate, come on Mum, we need to wait and see what happens on my Birthday to see. She still might not be my mate please don’t get your hopes up”

Tristan was trying his best to play it cool he didn’t want his Mum to be upset if it turned out that Alla was not his mate. He could feel his hands starting to sweat and was sure that his cheeks were pinking up but he kept focussed out the windscreen.

“What else do you need to get today Mum?”

Sensing that Tristan didn’t want to talk any further about Alla Luna Tilly welcomed the change in topic.

“You said you needed new t-shirts and the Triplets need some new shoes I told Lilly I would pick them up. Celest also asked if I could pick up a computer game for Ruben. Dad asked me to get him a new dress shirt for Friday for Alla’s celebrations. I was going to see if I could pick up a new dress”

“Woooooah that’s a lot of shopping to do, we are going to be here all day aren’t we he laughed”

“Well yes I am a Grandma so need to make sure my Grandpups have what they need.”

Tristan laughed as he nodded and turned the stereo back up. He knew Lilly would need something she always did the Triplets always seemed to always be going throughs growth spurts. Celest on the other hand as the eldest of all of Tristan’s Sisters very rarely asked for anything. She was 13 years older than Tristan and had one pup Ruben who was 6 years old. She was super lucky that she knew her mate, Harry, growing up. He was 1 year older than her and after her 18th Birthday they quickly found each other. Celest had wanted to go through the human route and qualify as a Doctor so they had waited to have Ruben. Now she was the Head Emergency Doctor at the pack hospital.

The rest of the journey was uneventful and as they parked up at the mall. They decided to go and get some food before they started their shopping expeditions. 3 hours later Tristan was glad they had food as his Mum definitely was capable of shopping until she dropped that was for sure! He had managed to get his t-shirts and a new shirt for Friday, his Mum had managed to get the triplets shoes, Rubens computer game and also his Dads shirt. Now they just had to find a gift for Alla. Alla was not a designer brands kind of person so she valued items that were practical over items that were pretty. Walking around the massive mall he found himself ignoring all he designer brand stores, this was normally his go to. He was fascinated as he started to look at the normal high street level brands. Even more so when he focussed on shops that would have practical items like computers, outdoor equipment or sporting goods stores.

He remembered hearing her having a conversation a couple of months ago with another student in the library about having trouble with her laptop. But it would be very odd for him to give her a laptop as that would be an expensive gift. As he racked his brains he realised he could get her one on the basis of her going to college with him. His eyes searched until he found that familiar Apple Logo outside the store. He wasted no time in selecting a laptop that he felt would meet her needs, along with a new backpack and all the accessories that she might need.

Luna Tilly was having a coffee as she was waiting for Tristan to come and meet her. Everything she had suggested as a gift for Alla he had declined. She had picked out some beautiful jewellery, designers dresses, designer bags and designer shoes but all of them Tristan turned down. She had given up helping him and decided a coffee and a break leaving him to his own devices would be better.

Walking into the coffee shop Tristan was grinning from ear to ear. His Mum was straining her neck to see what he had purchased and was shocked to multiple Apple branded bags.

He had ended up getting her a IMacPro, Ipad Pro, Iphone 12 Pro and Apple Watch Series 6, all the latest brands with the top specs. His excuse was that she would need the IMacPro for setting up in her college room, the Ipad Pro would be lighter to carry when she was going to classes but have all the IMacPro work on it, Iphone 12 Pro to make it really easy and convenient to send things as well as be able to track each other and the Apple Watch Series 6 to allow her to be able to see messages easily during class in case he needed her. Of course he had gotten all the cases, covers, Airpods etc etc to ensure that she would have everything. He chose the colour of all of the covers so they matched but didn’t stand out too much. He was extremely happy with his purchases, he knew he had gone over the top and just hoped that she would like them.

“Sweetie did you leave anything in the store?”

“I admit I may have gone overboard, but I want to show her that I believe that she will complete the training in two months hence the planning for the future. She isn’t a designer or jewellery kind of girl Mum. She wouldn’t thank me for anything like that and at least this gift I can justify with college, right?”

“Soooooo I have to not get too excited about her being your possible Future Mate but looks like you might need to take your own advice”

“Come on Mum I know she can’t afford this type of thing. I would of done it for anyone who was doing what she is going …….. Okay who am I kidding. Yes I want to give her nice things and make her life easier”, Tristan scrubbed his hand down his face as he was blushing

Reaching over Luna Tilly put her hand on her Son’s shoulder, “Sweetie I think its perfect. She will be very grateful for the gifts I am sure, she might be a bit overwhelmed and I would advise giving her the gifts privately though so she doesn’t get any extra attention from the pack”

“I plan to give them to her before the festivities start, should be easier for me to get her alone to give her the gifts”

“Well we best be getting back Tristan, you know how cranky your Father gets when I am not at home for any length of time”

Tristan nodded picked up the shopping bags and escorted his Mum to the SUV. The ride back to the pack lands was filled with easy conversations, singing of some interesting songs and of course plenty of radio station changes.

Unloading their purchases out of the SUV at the front of the pack house Luna Tilly headed for her office as she had mind linked her daughters and Husband to meet her there so show off her findings. Tristan kissed his Mum on the cheek and headed for his room to hang up his new clothes and stash away Alla’s gifts. As he was busy putting away his purchases into his closet something caught his eye out of his window making him stop dead in his tracks and his heart rate spike.

Alla had managed to go to the local town and purchase her new training gear and decided to work on her stamina training before dinner time. She was currently watching a HITT training session she had downloaded onto her phone. She was playing the video and following the moves the best she could. Regular stops were needed for her to go back and look at the videos to study the moves. She had headphones but the cable wasn’t long enough to set the phone up in front of her and carry out the moves and she didn’t want to turn the volume up too loud and disturb the other people who were around the training ground.

She hadn’t noticed the small male audience that was beginning to gather around the training ground casually as she worked through the training video.

Wiping the sweat off her brow she found herself pulling of her new training tank top so she was training in just her new shorts and sports bra. After completing another 2 sets of moves she had that familiar feeling of being watched. She walked over to where her water bottle was and tried to slowly take a drink and casually look around her. She noticed a bush moving at the edge of the tree line which was still 200meters away from where she was standing along with a lot of male warriors standing around watching her. They subtly as possible started to disperse as they felt the energy rolling off the Future Alpha coming onto the training ground. His power was nowhere equal to his Fathers but it was strong enough that the surrounding pack members could feel it. Out of respect they would react to the energy from him the same as his Father, given he would be their Pack Alpha sooner rather than later. As Tristan strode across the training ground towards Alla he followed her line of sight and noticed that she was watching the tree line. As he got beside her she didn’t move her focus and just casually took her water bottle out of her mouth and whispered to him, “Tree line, that bush keeps rustling, think I am being watched”

The hairs on the back his neck stood to attention, “GUARDS”

6 pack warriors were by his side in a the blink of an eye. “Tree line directly ahead fan out and search, someone has been watching your … Alla. I want them found and I want to know why they are watching”

“Sir”

They all started running for the tree line with all six of them transforming into their wolf forms for enhanced tracking abilities.

Turning to look at Tristan Alla caught him slowly running his eyes over her body. All of a sudden she was feeling a little bit embarrassed and underdressed as she reached for her tank top and put it on as subtly as she could. " Shouldn't I be going with them Tristan. It is going to be my job to protect you in a few months"

"No I want you here, you don't have your wolf yet"

Just as Alla was getting ready to argue Beta Kirk came running out of the back door to the training ground heading straight for Tristan and Alla. “Grigor mind linked the Ranked Members, what is going on?”

“Alla felt she was being watched by someone in the bushes. I asked pack warriors to go and check” Tristan shrugged not holding the Beta’s gaze, he knew he had over reacted and had ordered the warriors not asked.

“I am standing right here. I can speak for myself. This is not the first time that I have felt this today. When I was walking home just before I got into the house I felt the same. I don't feel it is a threat more of someone interested in what I am doing"

“YOU WHAT, WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME” yelled Tristan

Alla looked at him in shock. He had raised his voice causing all the nosy wolves nearby to stop and pay attention to what was going on more than they should of. With her fists clenched so took a step forward and was just about to shout straight back at him Alpha Trent arrived along with Luna Tilly “Tristan you need to calm down. Using that tone with Alla is unacceptable she has done nothing wrong and is not required to share any information with you”, Alpha Trent spoke calmly 

“Alla sweetie can you come with me, best if we go inside and let the guards report back to Alpha Trent on their findings. You look like your could do with a snack and drink after your workout anyways” Luna Tilly had her arm around Alla trying to guide her away before Alla had a chance to say anything back to Tristan. She didn't want the pack being suspicious of Alla and given that she was ready to argue back with the Future Alpha that may turn a few heads.

“Thank you Luna Tilly but I would rather stay and see if the warriors find anything? I also need to tidy my stuff away and head home to get a shower. I wouldn’t feel right going to the eat knowing I can’t be smelling too great” Alla was trying to be polite and civil but couldn't help answering the Luna through her teeth.

“Use my room”, Tristan casually called over his shoulder, “You have a change of clothes in your training bag right? Just go ahead use my bathroom in my room”

Alla's mind was doing a 180 turn. Why was he trying to be nice to her now after shouting at her? She couldn’t deny she wanted to see what the inside of his room looked like. It would give her insight into who she would be protecting once she completed her training. But she was struggling to understand why he had shouted at her. She was not yet working for him so there was no need for the outburst, she wasn't lying to him, she had no obligation to tell him anything yet she was feeling a warm fuzzy feeling in her tummy that he had reacted showing that he cared. She was confused but on the whole felt that the opportunity to be in his room she would learn more that would help her guard him.

“Okay as long as your sure Tristan, yeah I could use a shower and then get a snack if that’s okay?”

Tristan felt his breath catch slightly as a vision of her naked in his shower quickly flicked into his mind. As quick as he saw this it was gone as he needed to focus and getting a tent in his pants, in daylight, in front of his Mum and Dad and of course the Beta not to mention Alla wasn’t on his list of to do’s today. “Yup I am sure. I will wait for you in the kitchen on the Alpha floor. Mum would you mind making sure....”

“All ready on it sweetie. Come on Alla lets go get you cleaned up. On the way you can tell me what you want to eat and I will make sure its ready for you when your finished. Tristan usual for you?”

“Sure thanks Mum”

“Erm what about me”, Alpha Trent sulked

“My love yours is already waiting for you!”

“Knew I married you for a reason”

As Alla was climbing the back stairs to the pack house, she felt the need to look back and found Tristan watching her leave. As their eyes met she couldn’t help but notice the smirk on his lips as he turned back round to join the conversation between the Alpha and Beta.
