Ruby wasn't your typical Omega.

That was an understatement. But it was true. She was nothing like the others in the sleepy little lake town. She'd grown up the same as the others. Taught about her responsibilities, her duties as an Omega. What was expected of her. And she hated it.

She never wanted more than to grow up and leave. Get as far away as possible. Every Omega had a mate, they'd know that since birth. Everyone was meant for someone else. It could have been worse, she supposed, being soulmates with Bucky.

They'd grown up together. Best friends, attached at the hip. Taking naps together as children, curled up together. Running around as teenagers, sneaking out at night meeting behind the giant oak tree. Slipping off to skinny dip in the moonlight. Everyone thought they'd be bonded by now. Having and raising pups.

But Ruby never wanted that. She fought her father at every single turn. Rebelled against what was considered normal. What was expected of her. What she was raised to do. She simply hated the idea of belonging to someone. Stuck in this town for the rest of her life. Doing nothing but raising children and catering to an Alpha.

At nearly thirty, she'd become somewhat of a joke amongst the elders. Still single, no children. No prospects. No desire to be a 'normal' Omega. But Ruby didn't care. It didn't matter to her what they thought, what they said. She'd get out. She had to.

Bucky had enough pressure of his own. His father had recently stepped down as head of the pack, leaving him and his best friend Steve in charge. As a leader, he had more expected of him. He should have bonded with someone by now. He should have pups to carry on the name, the legacy.

Bucky knew it was true, but he fought it. His heart belonged to Ruby. No matter what others thought. He wasn't ready for anything else. His father had worked out a deal with the father or Wanda, a young Omega. He wanted her off, mated. And as far as James Barnes Senior was concerned, his son was the perfect candidate.

Bucky tried. He did. But he had no feelings for Wanda. She was sweet, but she was too eager. Too eager to be bonded. Too eager to have pups, be the mate of a pack leader. But Bucky constantly reminded her that he wasn't ready.

He wasn't ready to give up on Ruby.

Ruby felt it hit. Like a train. She ran upstairs, searching the cabinets, finding the bottle empty. She cried out in frustration, her body already aching. Goddamn heat was coming early and she had no suppressants. She silently cursed her mother, knowing how she felt about her taking them. 

'They're unnatural,' she'd told her a hundred times, even throwing them out on occasion. Reminding her that it was normal for an Omega. That it was her body's way of telling her she needed to mate. That she needed to bear pups. 

She ran a cold bath, stripping her clothes and popping the window open before settling into the cold water. She cried silently, the pain taking over. She just needed to get through it for now and then she could make it down the hill, to the Beta who helped her out every month. She could get some relief.

Bucky walked past the house, the scent nearly knocking him over. She smelled so damn good to him. His Omega. He heard the whimpers, his body aching. Needing to help her. Needing to make her feel good. His Alpha instincts taking over, he walked into the house and up the stairs as the scent got stronger.

He tapped on the door gently, not wanting to frighten her. "Ruby?," he called out and he heard her whimper again, the sound going straight to his cock. He wanted her, needed her. "A..Alpha?," she called out weakly, letting him know the door was unlocked. He pushed it open and had to restrain himself seeing her spread out in the bathtub.

"Let me," he said, rolling up his sleeve and moving her hand from between her thighs, replacing it with his own, rubbing slow circles over her clit. "Poor Omega," he cooed, "you need relief. You need an Alpha to please you," he moaned and she nodded, closing her eyes and letting him take control.

"You need to cum so bad, need to let go," he told her and she nodded again, small whimpers falling from her lips. "Cum for me, Omega. Cum for me and I'll take you. I'll bring you over the edge, over and over again," he growled and she bit her lip, her body shaking as she came with a cry of his name.

He kissed her forehead and lifted her out of the tub, wrapping a towel around her and carrying her to the bed, laying her back gently. He dried her and unwrapped the towel, his eyes raking over her naked body. "You're so beautiful, Omega," he purred and she reached for him, kissing at his neck.

He quickly stripped himself of his clothes, climbing back over her, his teeth grazing her bond gland, wanting so desperately to claim her, to mark her. To make her his Omega. He resisted the temptation, not wanting to pressure her and lined himself up, sliding inside her with one long thrust. 

They both moaned loudly as she dug her nails into his back, wrapping her legs around him to get him deeper, needing to feel him, needing him to take her hard and rough. "Please, Alpha," she begged, "take control. Take what you need from me," she told him and he flipped her over to her stomach with a growl and pounded into her, making her cum quickly.

She screamed out as another took over, and quickly followed by another. Bucky thrust harder, chasing his own release, feeling his knot begin to swell. "Oh...oh fuck, oh 'Mega," he moaned, gripping her hips. "Tell me you need it," he whimpered and she nodded. "Need it, Alpha," she whimpered and he cried out as it swelled and he felt it catch, crying out her name.

 He rolled her over the best he could, knowing they'd be attached for some time. He kissed her sweaty forehead and held onto her. He didn't want it to end. He was afraid it wouldn't happen again. That this was all there would be. That she wouldn't want more. 

Bucky was right.
