Three Months Later...

They were back in their home state of Kansas, trying to film their "Origin Series" on YouTube, giving possible answers as to all the paranormal activity they claimed happened to and around them. But, that wasn't their only reason. It was time to tell their parents about what had happened to them. Yet, so much more happened to them during this trip.

It began in Jake's house in Wichita, Kansas, with its hot sun and rolling fields of corn, which of course they all ran through as a little joke. After the night at the bridge with the demonologists, Jake became figitiy. It wasn't because of the danger of the paranormal as they stated in their video, for that was more a coverup. It was because he was newly mated and his Omega was a few weeks away from her first heat. Colby knew the characteristics of an anxious mate very well, as he did after all go through Corey's first heat with a very needy and confused Beta in the middle of Chipotle.

Secretly, Colby couldn't wait till Sam's first heat, but he knew that for an Alpha's Omega the process was different and not as recurring as a normal Omega's. But, here Colby was, losing track of his thoughts, getting lost in Sam's eyes and the taste between his thighs.

"What if... it's not the places we are going to, but it's us? Cause every place we go to, something happens," Colby plucked at the strings on Jake's furniture.

Suddenly, Jake's phone vibrated and Alpha, Omega, and Beta sat up more straight in anticipation. Jake pulled his phone out, taking note that the caller ID was Tara, and answered it, getting up off the couch as he did so.

"Tara, babe, what's up?" Jake walked into the kitchen, wanting some space between him and his Alpha.

Sam leaned forward, keeping an ear open on the conversation in the other room, but kept his eye trained on Colby's hunched figure, "I hate doing this."

Colby nods, "I know. We should just ask him afterwards."

A few minutes later, Jake returned with an anxious look on his face, tossing the phone back and forth between his hands, "I'm gonna have to quit right now, guys."

Colby stood up, abruptly, startling Jake a bit, "Is your Omega in heat?"

Jake nodded with a lick to his lips, lowering his gaze, "I'm sorry-."

Sam stood up to, reaching out to place a hand on Jake's shoulder, "Don't be, Jake. We can't control when things like this happen and we need to start treating it like it is normal, which it completely is. If you need to go, don't apologize, brother."

Jake smiled before turning to look at Colby, asking for his position.

Colby exhaled loudly and nodded, "Go, Jake. Tara needs you more than we do. Sam and I will figure something out."

Grateful as ever, Jake thanked him and said, "You always do."

Then, Jake was gone from their video and Sam and Colby left to go to their home in Kansas City. Sam's heart was thudding in his chest as Colby drove them home. He was honestly so scared for what was going to happen. Feeling this, Colby reached over and grabbed Sam's hand, squeezing it.

"We'll be okay, Sam," Colby replied, "When haven't we been?" Sam scoffed and Colby even laughed at the irony of his own words, "Okay, perhaps not that, but we've always succeeded where others were meant to fall."

Sam nodded, bringing Colby's hand up to his mouth and pressing a kiss to the back of it, noting the fading scars of rope burn around his wrist.

Suddenly, Sam felt his pocket vibrate and he raised an eyebrow in confusion. Quickly, dropping Colby's hand, he reached into his pocket to pull out his phone. Looking at the ID, his anxiety increased.
