Stupid Wolf (Discontinued)

28. Smash

On your way back to the Dorms after classes you were immediately flanked by a concerned Mina and Ochako, the latter holding your hand suddenly, making you give her a very confused look.

"Are you alright? I didn't get the chance to talk to you after Reynard..." She trailed off and you could see the worry in her eyes as well as Mina's as she silently nodded in support.

You forgot quite how invested your best friends could be at times...

You nodded your head, lifting your other hand to cup Ochakos and give it a rub to soothe her and smiled, watching her tense posture relax.

"She told me the school contacted her not long after finding out I was an Omega. She sensed me just before they did and sought me out, taking the opportunity to work as a teacher to help me as much as she can. She's an omega too."

"That's so cool of her!" Mina grinned, happy that any trace of your panic was long gone. But Ochako frowned.

"I still wouldn't be so quick to trust her..." Her hand gave yours a squeeze before she let go and you sighed.

"I just really need someone like her right now. If she can help me then I think I need to trust her a little right? She was right that Omegas are rare and if I can learn anything from her then I need to listen..."

Reynard was able to live a seemingly free life without being marked, as well as hiding her scent completely...

The teasing glimpse of a future like that for yourself was too much to ignore, no matter how much the back of your mind hesitated, leaning towards Ochakos attitude...

You had to hope there was a chance at an independent life...

"But you're okay now, right? No more super panic?" Mina asked and you reached for her hand with a soft and guilty smile, knowing that she would have felt a very strong reaction to your fear earlier too...

You hadn't noticed any of the Alphas looking your way in particular, but if Mina felt it then the others definitely did... You had some apologies to make once your whole mess of a life was straightened out...

"You don't have to worry about that, I'm fine, I promise. I need to get a better handle on my emotions and pheromones around everyone..."

You felt her squeeze your hand before pulling you to wrap her arm over your shoulder and give a friendly kiss to your cheek in her usual Mina fashion.

"Yup! But as long as you're alright then I don't mind ..."

You sent a big smile up at her and pulled Ochako under your own arm to make your trio link up, safe in your friends embraces as you headed inside the dorms to shower and change for the evening.

A few hours later, you were stretched out along one of the dorm room sofas, propping your legs up onto Mina's lap while she played a video game with Sero on the large TV, listening to them argue and shit talk each other while obviously having fun.

Dinner was cooking away in the kitchen and everyone was relaxing nearby in some way or the other, enjoying the evening.

As relaxed as your body was, your mind was was unable to settle...

It still made you uncomfortable to know Reynard was taking a very serious interest in you... But if she could give you advice and make being an Omega as effortless as she did then maybe you should trust her...

And what was her theory about you being more than Omega? That was something you'd keep to yourself from now on, god knows what Reynards theory really was...
