Alpha's Little Secret

Chapter 29|Brother(2)

I took Drake's comment to the chin, somewhat belittling myself for even saying such a thing. I of all people knew omegas weren't some object. I didn't even mean it like that. I just wanted Jacob to feel confident in himself. He was absolutely gorgeous and he deserved to feel like he was.

With a sigh, I walked into the kitchen to apologize, only to be met with a sulking Patrick and a really uncomfortable Oscar. I'm sure Drake had told him off. The juvenile alpha was clueless.

"It stings a little more coming from him doesn't it?" I asked the alpha. He simply nodded as we both avoided looking at him. Drake could be very cold sometimes.

"What did I do wrong. I mean...I thought Oscar was..."

I shook my head, stopping him from digging himself a deeper grave. "Trust me when I say this, you have to be gentle with omegas. Being super aggressive isn't really the way to go. It makes them uncomfortable and dousing them with constant compliments is nice at first, but then it gets kind of creepy. Plus...you're a virgin,"I explained. Judging by the fact that Patrick was still young, he probably didn't have a lot of experience with talking to omegas, let alone being around them. He was a horny alpha who definitely couldn't control himself just yet. Everything in his eyes was up for grabs.

"Plus, you might want to go after an omega who's your age," I chuckled. Patrick looked absolutely dumbfounded as he glanced back over at Oscar. Oscar had just turned 18 and Patrick was a very healthy 15. It wasn't uncommon for an omega to end up with a younger alpha, but they were at two completely different stages in life.

"But...I thought he was!" The blonde boy exclaimed.

"Maybe if you paid attention you'd realize he was trying to tell you that he was of age!" Drake hissed. Jacob was right next to him holding in his laughter. The soft omega was only a year older than Patrick and was obviously crushing hard. I could see it in the way he refused to look at Patrick as he laughed.

I looked back at Patrick, watching as his eyes wondered all over the Jacob, quickly catching on to what he had missed. "I'm really bad at this aren't I," Patrick sighed.

"Yes," Drake stated.

"Ummm...a little. You were really persistent, which is a plus," Oscar's British accent echoed in the room.

"I thought it was cute," Jacob commented in an almost whisper tone. Patrick looked back at Jacob again a small smile forming on his face. I'm sure he hasn't realized that we all had our eyes on him.

"Patrick, you do know that's Jacob Tremblay right?" Drake asked, fighting his own forming smile. The silly alpha had expressed obsessively how cute he thought Jacob was after the last season of our show had aired.

"What!? Wait!..." Patrick took a closer look at the now blushing boy, his jaw dropping. "-but...he looks...his hair is longer and...wow!" He exclaimed. It was my turn to roll my eyes. I was starting to think the boy had no sense anymore.In Patrick's defense, Jacob did look a bit older than what he looked like on the show and his curly hair was blocking most of his face.

"I absolutely love you!" Patrick exclaimed out loud.

"Pat!" Drake shouted, hitting the boy in the arm.

I laughed, knowing Patrick had zero control right now. It was natural for him to be like this. To be so upfront. His thoughts were flowing right out of his lips.

"Ummm...thank you...I guess," Jacob squeaked out with a shallow breath. He was redder than normal. In fact, the sudden smell of peach and mango made everyone in the room besides Patrick realize that Jacob had gone into a forced heat. We all knew Patrick was a virgin and could cause them, but Jacob being a virgin had doubled the chance. I had never asked him if he had been with anybody because it was none of my business, but he had just confirmed it for all of us.

I looked over at Patrick who was practically drooling and placed a calming, but tight hand on his shoulder so that he wouldn't lunge at the poor omega who was being escorted to the other side of the house by Oscar and Drake. "I know it's all you can think about now, but think about something else," I advised.

"He smells so...so..."

The boy took a step forward, only for me to pull him back in place. "How about we take a drive!" I offered, not really giving him a choice.

When we were settled in the car and well on our way to the city, Patrick sighed. I glanced over at him, laughing to myself again. "You ever react that strongly to an omega before?" I asked.

Patrick shook his head no. I'm sure he felt horrible. He probably thought he had made Jacob terrified of him. "I wasn't myself. I just...I really like him. I've always liked him even though I don't know him. Seeing him on TV...seeing how amazing of an actor he is. I...I don't know. Something just clicked in my brain when I realized it was him. Then the smell...his smell. It made me think about doing things that I've never thought about before," Patrick tried to explain.

"That's completely understandable. I was like that with my first crush. I had accidentally forced her into heat not realizing what I had done and things got really intense really fast," I explained. It felt like so long ago sense that happened and looking back I was happy that I had dads who were way to overprotective.

"What did you do? How do you fight your ...urges?" He asked. I shrugged, knowing I couldn't at the time. I was so unaware of what I was doing. The need to mate was so strong that it left my mind blank and my body active.

"I didn't. My family stopped me from doing anything to her. She hated me after that. Although, what's great about your situation is that Jacob likes you back," I smirked.

"He does?" Patrick replied cluelessly. Jacob was very much the nervous type. He would never outwardly admit he was into someone unless he was at his breaking point. Granted, every sign was there. I rolled my eyes, reminding myself how clueless an alpha could be. "He's so into you dude. You should've seen the way he was blushing and talking all soft. Jacob normally isn't like that," I explained.

Patrick looked off towards the road, his face turning a soft tone of pink. "No one's ever actually liked me. I mean...I've had girls interested in me before, but I've never really payed them any mind. I've always wanted to be with an..."

"Omega boy?" I answered for him.

Patrick nodded, relaxing in his seat a little. "My father was really against it, so I never perused them. He always wanted his sons to be with a female. Sometimes I wonder if I'd be forced into marriage like Drake was." Patrick's worries were valid. For someone so young to already have a grasp of his sexuality and what he wanted surprised me.

"It's okay not to have feelings for girls Patrick," I reassured him. Society was so bent on this narrative that male omegas were't good enough. It was dying opinion, but one that still stuck around. Most Alpahs turned out to be bisexual in the first place, so that opinion really didn't make much sense.
