The Order of the Omega

Falling Fast

Colton's POV

It took a few seconds for what she said to sink in but then I realized it, my little Grace was scared. She was scared because of all the bullshit that Blake and the rest of the pack had done to her, and that fact alone made me lose all control.

I marched up to Blake and punched his giant ass nose, satisfaction ran through my veins when I heard the cracking of his weak bones. I took him by the throat and pushed his back up the nearest wall and just began to pound his face in. Blood covered his face and horror covered everyone else's face. But all I could think about is what he and his friends did to my precious little baby.

There was some faint yelling and screaming in the background but I was still in my menacing trance until I felt 4 pairs of arms riping me away from my Beta. It was my Gamma and Delta and two other pack warriors. Looking around everyone was staring at me in shock, horror, and I even saw faces filled with disgust, but the one face I didn't see was Grace's and that shattered my heart.

"Where is she?" My Alpha voice boomed throughout our territory. Seconds of silence took place, to many seconds in my opinion so I asked again, adding a snarl to tell everyone how dead serious I was. "Wh-who, sir?" Asked a shaking man who was cowering in fear of me. "My mate," a few more seconds passed, chatter filled the air as my pack tried to determine where she scampered off too, "She went inside, sir," someone from the crowd said, and I began sprinting for the house.

I pushed passed people through the halls and up the stairs as I tried to sniff out my mate, and just like before she was hidden away in the attic. I guess I found her secret hiding place.

She didn't even turn around or move at all before she said, "Colton, leave me alone." My heart stung a bit but I wasn't giving up that fast. "What's wrong?" she scoffed at that like it was the stupidest question in the world. "Why would you do that?" She asked, finally removing her face from the window and turning to face me. "Do what?" I asked confused, she stared at me with no emotions what so ever and turned back to the window. Ouch. "You nearly killed Beta Blake."

"You don't have to call him Beta, you know."

"That's not the point, you shouldn't have acted that way!" She began raising her voice, despite the situation I couldn't help but feel proud. She's the only pack member that has ever stood up to me before and I knew for sure she'd make such a great Luna. The corners of my lips tugged upwards and I lightly smiled, Grace however didn't look amused. "What're you smiling at?"

"Huh? Oh Uh nothing."

"Whatever," she rolled her eyes, her gorgeous hazel eyes.

Another moment passed and she finally spoke again, "Why did you do that Colton?" She said softly, and that's when I felt guilty.

"It was my wolf's instinct acting up, we needed to protect our mate and were furious that she had been treated so poorly but I guess the heat of the moment got the best of us... I'm sorry," I said feeling ashamed. But at the same time I didn't get it, why was she mad that I stood up to the guy that's tortured her for years? Isn't that what she wanted? She sighed and ran her hand through her shiny brown hair.

"It's still your birthday, and you were also suppost to recieve you Alpha title tonight. What you just did," another sad sigh "has made a lot of pack members question your leadership. Don't risk something this big over me."

"But you're so much more important than some title."

Grace's POV

Okay now that was just cute. How could I be mad when he says stuff like that? Ugh, I'll just drag him down, he deserves someone who can meet his and the packs standards. I can't believe I'm doing this. "We barely know each other, Colton. But you're my mate and I would hate to see you be hated by your whole pack because of me, you can't just throw something like that away. I'm only gonna hurt your reputation..." I took a deep breath, "so I, Grace Annabel Alexis reject yo-" Before I could finish that horrible sentence his lips were on mine. Okay, they were practically assaulting mine.

So this is what heaven must feel like. My wolf was leaping and dancing around in absolute delight and I was definitely mentally doing the same. He tasted like peppermint and smores and his lips were so soft and sweet, it felt like a dream. He grabbed my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him impossibly closer. He picked me up and my legs snaked around his waist for support, I never wanted to leave that spot. There was so much passion and neediness in his kiss, I couldn't pull away, it was like a vacuum or a tornado.

Eventually we both needed to come up for air though and that's when I looked into his bright blue eyes and I knew I was falling, no drowning, in love with him. But his deep blues began to darken into an angry black and he muffled out "Don't you dare." my wolf whimpered a bit and my heart clenched up, I had forgotten that right before that record breaking kiss I was about to reject him. I frowned and stared at the ground. He pulled me into his chest and I hugged him back tightly, it was amazing how just being surrounded by him could change my mood, a second ago I wanted to ball up and cry and now I feel at peace.

"Please don't reject me... I need you so much already..." Looking up, I swear my heart cracked a bit. Colton's eyes were holding tears and his grip on me tightened like he was scared to ever let me go. He needed me and I need him, too.

"I won't." I had to get on my tippy toes,and he had to bend down a lot but I managed to kiss his cheek and he chuckled softly, warming my heart. It's the first day I've actually talked to the guy and I already wanna scream from the top of the world that I'm falling for him.
