Omega

Distance (4)

Jasper P.O.V.
Her eyes are so beautiful. I could get lost in the deep blue abyss of her eyes. But then they brim with fear and she runs. Im so stupid. I let her get away. My soulmate. But I don't deserve her.

She runs and takes with her that intoxicating peppermint and jasmine scent. I have to fight my wolf side from shifting and running after her. If things had been different. If I wasn't an Omega. If my pack was alive. I would run after that beautiful girl.

I can tell she is of high ranking in the pack. People part quickly as she tuns through the crowd. She deserves someone as special as her. Someone who can protect her and keep her from pain. I couldnt keep my pack alive.

I wont let anything hurt her, including me. I am just going to have to keep my distance.

Penelope P.O.V.
I run through the crowd. I cant find Haley anywhere and my brother is out of the question. So I keep running.

I reach the tree line and allow myself to shift. My dress rips and falls away from my body as my bones readjust themselves. I dont even know what I am running from anymore, just that I have to get away. My heart is racing but my feet keeping moving me forward.

I finally get there. A large oak tree stands, looming, next to the river. A big flat rock rests at the base of the tree and I let myself fall onto it. How can my mate be an Omega? I am a born leader. How can I be perfect for someone who is a follower? How are they going to protect me? I dont want to be the strong one.

I feel the pull to go to him. I saw pain in his eyes. I want to take away that pain. What will I feel when he holds me? When you touch your mate you feel their emotions and their past, you connect to them on a while new level. Do I want to know what caused the pain in his eyes?

I feel myself falling asleep in wolf form. The last thing I think about is the fact I want to go back, but I feel like I can't.

Haley P.O.V.

"Penelope!" I yell over the pulsing music. I haven't seen her for almost two hours and after grilling for two minutes and losing my temper. I punched him twice before he finally said she had some stare down with an Omega and ran away crying.

If I ask a bunch of people where she is, they will start to panic. I have to find this Omega.

"Tall..... um....brown hair.....ah sh*t" Thats all Toby could say with his bloodied nose.

Ok brown hair isnt exactly descriptive. That describes at least half of the Omegas here. However, Tall? Very few Omegas can be considered tall, and that fact that 6 foot 2 Toby said it, means the mystery guy is especially so.

Then I see him. He is standing against the wall of the pack house staring at the ground. He is so handsome. I am seriously surprised Penelope ran away from him. I certainly wouldn't have. Penelope runs from her problems. If she ran, that means he is a problem. I wonder what in the world that hunk of a man did wrong? I take a deep breath and calm my temper before making my way over to him.

"Where is Penelope you douche?"

"Who?"

"Penelope! Not too tall, dark hair, blue eyes?"

"Oh.... Um....."

Great another "Um" guy. Just what I need. If stupid football hunk #14 hadn't caught my eye earlier I would know where she is! Are all guys this stupid? Or just the few I actually need information from?
