The dragon within

 "Ma! Ma!" I start yelling through the house trying to find her. I don't have time to go through all the rooms. Mom is holding Kayla and she's... getting ready to walk out the door? This day just keeps getting stranger. She reads the look in my face and answers with "Otis is a friend of the family and 90 percent of the pack as well. If anyone will know where we need to stay it's him. He told me he had a nice conversation with you."

   "Well I then it's there any more secrets I should know about?" I ask in a joking manner.  "Yes actually Otis and I have been providing things for the Rebels. We can't fight because we are Omegas but it doesn't mean we have to stand by and except our fate." I don't know how many more surprises I can take. I mean within three days time i went from a carefree boy to my whole world has been turned upside down by pretty much everyone! "Come on he's waiting." She says and of course I follow. 

   We walk in the shadows trying not to get caught seeing as how there's a curfew after 10pm. This is my first time so I was a nervous wreck but my mom was stealthy. It was amazing to watch her and with little Kayla no less. I was also worried about Kayla giving us away but she slept through everything.  We finally reach a cobblestone house it was small but looked cozy. All the lights were out but a candle on the windowsill. We pause for a moment as mom is looking around making sure the coast is clear before waving me on to proceed forward. I follow behind her hot on her heels. She doesn't knock but taps once on the door and a tap hits the other side of the door then she taps once more drags her nail diagonally across the door then taps two more times on the bottom of the door. The door opens and we walk in. It's so dark I don't see a thing for a few seconds. When my eyes adjust I see it's a one bedroom cottage and we aren't alone. There next to the door stands Otis and I'm assuming his wife. She had her hair up in a bun with snow white hair with glasses and wore a dress with small floral flowers. "Welcome nice to see you again Leon. If like to introduce you to someone who can help you farther on your quests. This is my mother..." I  couldn't help the words from flying out of my mouth at that comment.  "Mother!?!" I say in shock. My mother elbows me in the stomach at my comment and I let out an oof. His mother just laughed at my behavior and I was relieved I didn't offend her. "Yes my name is Mary I'm a seer and you are unlike anything I've ever seen before." I give her a confused look. 

   "I want to help with your mate but first I have to tell you a few things to save your life because if you don't live neither can she." I nod and she continues "you can use your anger for good but once you've went passed a certain point there is no turning back. Once you turn into a dragon fully you will be that way until you find a way to calm the flames of your anger." She starts to put her hands in the air and puts her head down. This whole family is strange i think to myself.  "I heard that" she says. Oops I say inside my head " I heard that too" she repeats. Well crap my head says and i look down cause I knew she heard that too when she laughs " i know you mean nothing about it but you sure do have a lot to say." 

   "Sorry" I mumble and we carry on with the earlier conversation. Her eyes start to turn white and she says if you show your full dragon you must know that it could be detrimental in the long run. I can see you being hunted by many."

   "He wouldn't hurt anyone!" My mother defended me. 

   "People fear what they do not know" Mary says simply.  

   "I don't care about me how do we get Joslin out" i say trying to change the subject. 

   "When one person rises up the rest will follow until then you will need to be trained" Said Mary 

   Mom and I said our goodbyes and the walk on our way home was a haze. "I'm an omega how am I supposed to fight?" I ask more to myself than anything but mom answered "you are more than an omega you are also the last dragon. Some how you will come in touch with this." She says

   "Tham mom you can always put me at ease." I say smiling. "Well i need to get some rest before tomorrow i want to go check on Joslin I left her unconscious today." 

   "Ok love try and rest." Mom said while kissing my cheek. 

   The next morning I got into the shower hoping it would wake me up since we were up so late. Letting the water run down my face and it helped a little. Next I went down stairs and made a pot of coffee but I only took half seeing as how mom was probably up later than I was. I then wrote a small note that said I love you have a good day and hope this coffee can help a little. I then grabbed an orange and hurried off to work. I figured I'd get there and get straight to work but fate had other plans. Instead Stephen was waiting for me at the dungeon doors. I felt angry but pushed it down. He stood there sizing me up. "Can I help you?" I said trying my best to use my submissive voice. 

   "Actually yes" He started off with. "I heard what you did at the square" I stated sweating as soon as he said that. I bowed and said "I do apologize if I over stepped my boundaries sir i just figured since Gage had her here he would want to deal with her as he deemed fit instead of someone doing it for him." Stephen put up his hand for me to stop my rambling and I did as he wished. 

   "You are big for an omega... heck you're bigger than most betas aren't you?" He asked curious of my answer. 

   "I guess i never really noticed honestly." I say feeling awkward with the conversation. 

   There were a few more minutes of silence. "Well if there's nothing else should I get to work?" I ask

   "Actually the Alpha wanted to thank you for your loyalty" Stephen said. I felt my hands heat up. That monster isn't an alpha. He's a beast that needs to be put down. Stephen continues "Alpha Gage was wondering if you'd be up for being third in command... the gama of you will."  I know he sees the shock on my face and he's that is genuine "of course you'd need training but with your size I doubt you'd need much."

   "I'll do it!" I blurted out and he smiled. This is perfect I didn't know anyone who could train me. If I could just learn how to control my anger enough to get just a little knowledge. "Good well off course you will still be needed here until i can find someone to replace you. Today though I want to see what you can do so you're skipping work today head home and change our of your uniform and meet me in an hour." With that i run home as fast as i can and tell mom everything.
