Adoring My Mate (Unofficial Title)

Chapter 1

Korey Howard^^

*Korey's POV*

I have always loved playing with Controlled Panic. Mainly because I could see Amias shirtless, but also because I loved seeing the crowd enjoy something we made. I was surprised when they let me in the band, me being an omega. Most everyone else in the band were Warriors. No one treated me differently though, but Amias never talked to me in general let alone look in my direction. I think if Amias actually looked at me, I'd implode. God what I wouldn't do to just kneel at his feet and kiss his boots.... Anyways I'm getting off topic. As I strummed the last chord of the set, I saw Amias grab his water bottle and pour the rest of it over the top of his head and down his toned chest and I practically whimpered. "I'll be right back." I told Elliot, the Beta of the pack and the drummer of the band, then headed out to the back of the venue to have a smoke. I had been smoking more and more the closer it got to Amias's birthday. It's not like I could be upset rationally, I doubt he even knows who I am. I just don't want to see him with anyone else. Like one of those things where if I can't have him, I don't want anybody else to have him either. Now it was less than an hour until he turned 18 and everything was catching up to me. After I finished my cigarette, I went back inside and helped clean up our equipment. After we had anything packed up into the van, I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders. I looked up and saw Elliot with a beaming smile looking down at me. "Dude, you hella shredded tonight!" he exclaimed, making me smile and blush. "I just practice a lot." I said, I didn't think I was that good. Elliot just scoffed and rolled his eyes, then dragged me back to the van and shoved me in. We got back to the main pack house just 10 minutes before midnight. I began taking my guitar back up to my room, but was stopped by, none other than Elliot. "Who do you think Amias's mate is gonna be?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows at me. He knew about my obsession and was constantly bugging me about it. "I dunno. Don't really care unless it's me." I shrugged. Elliot just looked at me sadly and patted my shoulder. I was taking my first steps up the stairs to my room when they started the countdown as it was tradition to countdown to a pack member's 18th birthday. "3... 2... 1!" the pack yelled and I felt a pang in my heart. I felt like I was going to cry. Suddenly the most amazing smell filled my nose. It was smoke, sweat, and a little bit of coffee. I turned to see Amias towering over me, but he was looking directly at me. I felt smaller than I ever had in my life. He didn't look disappointed, but surprised. "Hello Korey." his deep voice seemed to echo in my head.
