Where We Come From ✅ [Complete]

Chapter 22: We're Different

During the course of the day, Monty, Jasper, Roma, Miller, Atom and even Murphy as well as other delinquents come and check on their leaders and the trio are touched by their concerns. From early on, the delinquents had easily accepted Octavia, Bellamy and Clarke as their leaders and even though they’re young, they know enough to recognize authority when they see it and they saw it in the Blakes and Clarke. Bellamy, although the oldest, didn’t treat them as children, no he made them feel important; he gave them responsibility, he treated them with respect, he sought out their opinions and suggestions and that made them feel like they matter, like they have a purpose now that they’re alone without the adults. As for Octavia, even though she’s the youngest, she also made them feel safe and protected. They didn’t know why but with her, they felt freedom and safety, something they only experienced before they were locked up. She, just like her brother, took their concerns seriously and helped out whenever and wherever they needed her. And Clarke, well, she’s like the sister they have always wanted; she is kind and loving and that doesn’t come from being an omega only but from who she is. When they feel sad, alone or they miss their parents, they seek her out. As an omega, Clarke loves hugs and she’s always ready to be a friend to lean on, a friend to talk to and a friend to confide in. They also know that Clarke and Octavia have something special between them and have expressed their happiness towards the couple. At first, the delinquents were a little scared of asking for hugs since they knew that as an alpha, Octavia is protective of Clarke but Clarke had eased their concerns and had told them that Octavia understood and she was fine as long as they didn’t get the wrong idea and so they felt alleviated. They now know she’s an Elite but she’s different just like Ash. They don’t think they’re better than the rest because of their status. In fact, both omegas have expressed that there is no social status among them. They are all equal; they all have a role to play and none play a smaller part than the other.

In the evening, around dinner time, Clarke and Raven go to the kitchen to grab some food while Ash stays with the Purebloods and so Ash makes her way towards O and sees that the alpha has begun to wake up.

“Hey O, how are you feeling baby girl?” Ash asks concernedly and watches as green-silvers eyes stare back at her.

“Fucking bear! I will fuck him up! Grrr….grrr,” Sky growls back.

“Geez, Sky, you wolves need some anger management classes ASAP,” Ash jokes and notices as Sky rolls her eyes at her and huffs.

“Whatever!” Sky grumbles and Ash shakes her head from side to side. “Where’s my omega?” Sky asks after a little while.

“Getting something to eat; she’s with Raven. She’s been worried sick about you and O,” Ash informs her. Sky huffs out and rolls on her side giving Ash her back.

“Hey Ash,” Bellamy says. He notices her claiming bite and responds with, “Congratulations.” They chat for a little while when they hear soft footsteps coming towards them; it’s Clarke and Raven. As they get closer, the girls notice Ash and Bellamy talking so they hurry up. Clarke goes directly to her alpha while Raven makes her way towards them.

“Hey papi, how are you feeling?” Raven asks Bellamy.

“Like a bear almost cut me in half,” he comments and smiles.

“Well, it almost did but you’re tough Bell,” she tells him and she settles a hand on his shoulder. 

“Hey babe, how are you feeling?” Clarke asks Octavia.

“A little better, still in a little pain but otherwise good,” O tells her now that she’s in control of her body.

“I was so scared O when I saw you so full of blood and limping,” Clarke says while deeply sighing and slightly trembling, so cupping the alpha’s face she says gently. “Don’t scare me like that O please. I thought I’d lose you and I can’t handle that. I need you in my life; you’re my alpha.”
