Conquering the Alpha (BxB) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 49: Sweetest Thing

Triggered.

It's Sunday. November 10th. Earlier today, I saw Jayden and Skylar bicker in the food line for breakfast. It would be just as any other day, except that Skylar was being too crass and cavalier about sex - with me, that never happened, but he wished it did - and Jayden was too suspicious of the way he talked like he was insinuating that we lied about having sex.

Is he dense?

Does he not know what happens to Omegas who have sex during heat? Does that sound like something I could withhold from him until April?

Come on! The next time he alludes to something like that again, neither of us will leave this place prospected. Unless he moves on from me quickly.

I think I have already established that if not for him, nobody else here will want me. So, it is what it is. I would rather leave this place alone than be with a partner who doesn't trust me.

Unfortunately, that is not the worst thing I would hear this morning. I made the mistake of mentioning Shawn to Seth, which led to curiosity from Kyle and that eventually got Skylar talking about him and the similarities I have with the man, who got my mother pregnant, according to Skylar.

Hearing him or Seth speaking about Shawn, he doesn't sound like a horrible person. Which is all the more hurtful to me. At least, if he was in prison or just generally was a total loser, I could say I was better off without him.

But that doesn't seem to be the case. He is even especially attentive to Seth, who grew up with a lot of complexes over being born an Omega instead of an Alpha like his twin brother. Seth told me how Shawn was extra kind to him and pushed my roommate into believing he could do more with his life if he set his mind to it.

The better things Seth had to tell me about him, the harder I cried. It was torture.

Of course, Seth instantly offered to stop talking about the clearly sensitive issue, but I insisted. I wanted to hear all that he had to tell me about the man who was a second father to him and no parent to me at all. Oh Goddess, I cried so hard.

Seth did his best to comfort me by my side on the bed, but there was nothing he could do. I just needed to hear what he had to say. Maybe get it out of my system, who knows?

Maybe one day I can stop letting it get to me every time his name is dropped.

I ended up sleeping after so much crying and only woke up when Seth shook my shoulder gently letting me know it was time for lunch already. In all honesty, I could skip it but I shouldn't miss lunch. It's not like I can avoid Skylar or Jayden all afternoon.

Some time later, I was met by Skylar in the cafeteria with a bouquet of red flowers.

"I am sorry for speaking out of turn earlier. Both times. I do not ever want you to think I was objectifying you or anything like that. You know, it's not about sex with you. It's much deeper than that. I humbly apologize for my comments, my love." He handed me the lovely bouquet that looked expensive with all its ribbons adorning it.

Jayden growled at him for calling me 'my love', but I swooned.

"Thank you, Sky. You didn't have to get me roses. How did you get them delivered here on a Sunday?" I asked him, marveling at my bouquet.

"They weren't delivered. I went into town after breakfast and got them for you." He informed me and I gasped in shock. He spent an hour inside a van back and forth just to buy me roses? Damn!

"Wow. I am in awe of you, Sky. Thank you so much!" I melted at the nice gesture.

"You are worth it. That and so much more." He sounded smitten by me. It was hard to keep myself in check. I had to remind myself that he was unavailable to me.
