Conquering the Alpha (BxB) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 4: Hold Me While You Wait

It's Tuesday morning.

After a busy day of classes yesterday, I was getting the hang of this large castle in the form of a preparatory school. The halls were long enough to get lost in them. There are several passages from one room to another. If you do not pay attention, you could get lost easily.

Seth and I are becoming friends much faster than I could ever anticipate. The fact that he doesn't hold back on the truth about himself or his family is both daunting and fascinating at the same time. Truthfully, I am totally in awe of him as a person. Not at all what you'd expect from a boy who had everything he could ever need in life.

His twin brother Skylar keeps a close relationship with him, attentive and especially protective. It would be annoying if it wasn't so sweet. I am an only child so I crave that type of connection. He told me that his mother never expected to have twins. She was supposed to fulfill her contract with his father by having one child but was surprised when she went for her ultrasound.

Naturally, the biggest surprise was yet to come when the twins were born. It is incredibly rare for twins to be of a different breed and even more rare for an Alpha to have an Omega child. The doctor explained what might have happened to them at the time, offering a scientific explanation, but from that moment on Seth was never looked at by his parents in the same way they look at Skylar.

Alphas have twin babies all the time, but it is never anything except for other Alphas. Hence the horrible way Seth was called by some "the defective twin". It must be horrible to be born with such high expectations thrust upon you like the Stronghold sons, but it is even worse to feel like your birthing was inadequate, that you are less than your brother simply because of your breed.

On that, Seth and I related immediately. Only Omegas feel the weight of our breed and the way people look down upon us, especially because of our heat. What people forget is that we are a blessing from the Moon Goddess, a way for queer couples to bear children without the help of a third party like humans have to do.

After Headmaster Lockwood's powerful speech on the night of our arrival at Ravenwood, I was even more ostracized than I expected to be. The only Omegas getting attention were the ones coming from powerful families like Seth's. As soon as students got word that I was a scholarship student, it might as well tell them that I was invisible.

Hardly anyone bothered to talk to me except in passing, politely. I got nothing more than a 'good morning' or 'good afternoon' or occasionally 'excuse me, can I go ahead' when standing in line for food. It is worse than I thought it would be.

Then there is Jayden Johnson. I don't know what he sees in me or if he is just passing the time until he goes for the Omega he actually wants. Or maybe his attention is a way of getting through to Seth, the biggest prize in the Academy. I am not sure right now, but I can honestly say my roommate hasn't come up in our conversation.

But it's only Tuesday, our second day of school.

We are inside the dining hall having breakfast when we hear an unpleasant conversation taking place at the Alpha section of the tables.

A Beta werewolf approaches Skylar and his buddies. He stands next to him wanting to ask something, but it takes a little while for him to get the courage to do so.

"What? If you come to ask me out, I am not interested." Skylar spoke, impatiently as he gnarled some pancakes on his plate. His Alpha colleagues laughed at this statement.

"No, Alpha. Is it okay if I ask your brother out?" He asked his permission and Seth nearly spat his food several tables away from them. The Alphas at their table went silent, looking at Skylar with a frightened expression on their faces.
