Omega and the beast

Chapter 31

"You have to tell him, Reed. He deserves to know."

"I know, I will but... I want to let him digest everything first."

"It's a pretty huge and important detail about his life and himself. You know how vulnerable he is; especially now since Buck of all idiots knows. He will spread the news about how we have a new and unusual omega, and then an alphamega! Another alpha may be hiding around nearest corner!"

"Please Alex, I know."

"So why all this secrecy?!"

"Because I know it will make him,"

"What are you talking about?"

Reed and Alex turned to me where I sat at the kitchen table and ate toast after toast. How could you get so hungry after developing into a fucking beast in a short time?

The past week had been pretty painless. My days were spent eating, practicing shifting, cuddling with Reed, and eating again. I barely saw Angus anything and the times Reed had to leave me, Alex stayed by my side.

Every time we were apart, Reed and I, hurt just as much. But I got used to the pain more and more. And the joy I felt when he came back made me completely blissful.

Every day we took a stroll in the forest in our wolf forms, but we stayed inside the inner border which they call the inner circle. I guess it's safer for me right now or else I could get lost as bad as I am at finding and locating, even in a mall!

I'm getting more and more used to my other form though and actually like to jump over trees and cuddle with Reed like we were two cuddly teddy bears. But... I probably still prefer to be human, for now anyway.

I had finally had the courage, strength, and time to talk to my parents. They seemed hopeful about what the future held for Becca.

She faced at least one year in juvenile detention, but Reed's lawyers fought hard to influence it to appear how this town needs more activities for young people than sports, and it was talk about a cultural association for vulnerable youth. But Becca's and her friends' trial wasn't yet in a few weeks.

"Well?" I took a sip from my glass of water.

"Oh, it's," Reed began but his sister cut him off.

"Reed just has some more information to share with you," Alex glared at her brother. "Right, Reed?"

"Is there more to know?!" I exclaimed complaining. "Gosh, why didn't I shift as a kid so I could learn all of this in peace?"

My brain was already completely mushy after these last days. Reed went through all the basic stuff. How I can use my nose to track, how to sneak. But also, information about how I can detect other shifters among people and how we are dependent on our pack.

I got to know the others more. I got to learn how Isabella loves cars and Jimmy love to grow plants, weird enough. Vivian was good at nursing wounds; Luis is a doctor and Clover love to craft candles.

"Reed?" Alex looked at him.

"Gosh, haven't we gone through everything important already? I wish we could quickly flip past all the information like in movies and just skip to when life is wonderful. I wanna hunt squirrels and take mud baths!"

"There's a lot you don't yet know or have learned, my love." Reed approached me and caressed my cheek. He was so incredibly loving these days. I'm kind of weak for how he calls me my love, it's kind of hot actually.

"Well... I guess so," I leaned back in my chair. "I mean; it's not every day you realise you're born a beast!"

"Not beast, Ryan."
