Where We Come From ✅ [Complete]

Chapter 21: Claim Me!

In the three days that Lincoln and Gustus are gone, life continues for the 100. Octavia’s and Clarke’s bond continues to grow; they have officially declared their love for each other and in doing so have informed their friends of their intentions as soon as Abby lands. Bellamy is happy for his little sister and wishes her the best as does Ash and Raven.

A while later after Bellamy and Clarke leave to attend to other matters, Raven being Raven says in a serious tone, “Octavia, take care of Clarkey or else I’m sure Abby and I will team up and kick your alpha ass.” Naturally, Sky takes this as a challenge and begins growling and snarling in O’s head. “Fuckin’ bitch! Who the fuck she think she is?! Let me out Tay-tay so I knock her the FUCK OUT!”

“Calm down Sky!” O yells in her head. “She’s not challenging us okay. I’ll admit it sounds like one but you know that Raven has the hots for Ash!” she says trying to calm her wolf down. After a few seconds, she feels as Sky’s breathing slows down. “Hmph… You better be right ho! Or else you and I are going to have a huge fucking ass problem! Grrr….grrr” Sky growls out and settles in the back of O’s mind. Teasingly, O asks, “Is that a challenge Raven? Because Clarke is mine!”

Knowing Octavia is just teasing, she says with a smirk, “Maybe. What if I want to be with her?” Sky begins growling in O’s head again but she ignores her wolf however, Ash overhears and immediately snaps. “¡Pinche cabrona! [Damn bitch!] How do fuck are you gonna say that? Clarke and O are in love and you’re not going to do shit! You hear me Raven?!” Ash snarls out and throws herself at Raven. Her eyes are slowly changing to form a gold ring around them. Clarke who was chatting peacefully with Jasper, Monty and a few others hears her name and sees the commotion. She notices right away the change in Ash's features so she quickly runs to her. Before she reaches, she sees Octavia trying to pull Ash from on top of Raven. “Hey Ash calm down! We were just playing!” she tries to explain to a very flustered and annoyed Ash. “¡Calmate Ash! [Calm down Ash!] I was just teasing her mami,” Raven says as she tries to breathe since Ash knocked the air out of her lungs when she threw the alpha to the ground.

Ash is muttering something under her breath but Clarke and Raven can’t hear too well. “Not giving you up! You’re mine! My alpha!” Octavia hears it as clear as day. “Ash! Hey Ash, calm down!” Clarke yells out and gently cups the other omega’s face while pumping out her soothing omega pheromones. Clarke’s pheromones only calm down Octavia while the others are still flustered. She smells as Raven releases her alpha pheromones and it slowly calms down Ash as Clarke notices Ash inhale deeply taking in the alpha’s scent. A small crowd has gathered around them watching the spectacle. A little while later, the crowd disperses and everyone continues resuming whatever they were doing before. Raven’s alpha pride is bruised so she gets up and leaves, heading for the gate. “Hey Rae! Where are you going?” Clarke yells out and the alpha doesn’t respond and continues walking away. “I’m going after her,” Clarke mutters as she gets up and runs to catch up with Raven. Ash is now calm but her tears are slowly running down the corner of her eyes. “Come on, let’s take a walk,” O tells her as she gently lifts the omega and they start walking outside the gate as well. She informs a member that they will be close by.

Clarke and Raven have been walking for a few minutes without talking. Clarke wants to speak but the look on Raven’s face is enough to alert Clarke that the alpha is not in the mood. She hears a sniffle and when she turns to look at the alpha, she sees Raven silently crying. She stops walking and hugs the alpha releasing her soothing pheromones. She hears as Raven inhales but Clarke can still feel the muscles in Raven’s body tense. She isn’t Raven’s mate so she knows she can’t do much but still she tries and hopes that somehow it can help. After a while, “Thanks Clarkey,” Raven murmurs. Clarke slightly lifts her head from Raven’s shoulder and cups the alpha’s cheek. “No problem Rae. Wanna talk about it?” she asks. Raven nods and tells her what happened. “O and I were just joking but Ash took it too personal. I don’t know why. What’s her problem?” she asks the omega. Clarke frowns at her and rolls her eyes. “Seriously? You don’t know? The entire camp knows!” Clarke blurts out. “Knows what?” Raven asks, befuddled. So Clarke looks at her and elucidates. “Raven, the reason why Ash acted that way is because she is jealous. She must have thought that you really wanted something with me. Rae, Ashley is in love with you.” Raven looks at her addled. She feels a flutter in her stomach but refuses to believe it. “No Clarke, Ash and I can’t be together,” she says sadly. “Why? Because she’s a Purebred?” Clarke asks, already knowing the answer. She sees in Raven the same confused expression she saw in Octavia a few days ago and the alpha simply looks away. “Exactly!” Raven snaps back. “Clarke, you didn’t grow up like I did. You didn’t see all the injustices I saw. The Elites are cruel, they take pleasure in screwing the rest of us! There are days I saw some people go home with nothing to eat because some Elite jerk made sure of it. We aren’t worthy of an Elite; they are always above us,” she firmly says but Clarke could easily hear the disgust in her tone of voice.
