The Omega's Mate?

Chapter 29: Alexandre's POV

It had almost been three weeks since the last full moon, since I had acted out in front of the entire pack. The past three weeks had been hell for me, my dad had made me go to the cabin where Omega's in heat were held. It was close to torture, but as always I was able to control myself. I didn't understand why it was different with August. His scent was so intoxicating, ever since Halloween night it was like his scent was embedded in my room. It drove me mad, but it also comforted me.

Onyx had been spotty with me lately, after what happened at the full moon ceremony last month she was more than upset with me. I tried to reassure her that I would never do that to her again, in which she did not believe me. She attended the dinners with the elders with me and still made sure that we had went to social interactions together, like Thanksgiving for example. Which August didn't attend. Other than that she no longer came over to watch movies, spend the night, or go out on dates.

I guess I really deserved that much, I cheated on her not once, but twice, once in front of her. She understood the first time because of August being in heat and it being difficult to handle. The second time, Dimitri was insistent on us being mated to the smaller wolf.

I had tried to apologize for my actions to August but he wasn't having any of that. Every time I remotely had gotten close to him, he went the other way. He had been wearing a scent blocker on his neck which confused me. I had thought those were lethal to Omega's, making their fertility rate go down a drastic amount. I then started seeing him less and less at school, soon I didn't see him at all. It hurt to not see him every day, it hurt worse than not seeing Onyx for some reason.

I had been hoping to see him tonight during the full moon ceremony, but he didn't show. Dimitri was howling in pain for him, to see him, to touch him. Why was he not going to the ceremony again? Did something happen to him? Was he okay?

I found myself leaving the Ceremony after I had eaten the meal that had been prepared by Onyx; it tasted lackluster, not as great as her first meal had been. I mean it was edible but the flavoring wasn't all there. I found myself not in the mood to socialize with anyone in the pack, or be there really. I had been conducting the Ceremonies to prepare to take over the pack in almost two months, given if I find my mate that is on my birthday. I had been doubting lately that Onyx would be my mate, my family thinking otherwise.

"Hey pup, where are you going?" I heard my mom's voice call out to me.

"I'm going home, I'm not in the mood to socialize." I kicked a rock, hearing it tumble in the leaves as it skipped across the bedding of the earth.

"You've been all gloom and doom lately, what's the matter?" She asked, lacing her arm through mine, matching my pace.

"I don't know mom..." I frowned, furrowing my eyebrows in frustration.

"You know you can talk to me right?" She looked genuinely concerned for me.

"It's a lot to process mom. It's like everything is being thrown on my shoulders. I'm expected to act one way, while others don't get repercussions as I do if they do the same thing. I'm being told someone who isn't even my mate yet will be my mate, as if they know who the goddess has blessed me with. In two months, given she is my mate, I'll be Alpha of this pack. The elders will want me to produce an heir as soon as possible. It's just... Overwhelming." I spill out.

"I didn't have you until I was 25, they won't rush you on having pups. So don't worry your head." She bumped her hip to mine.

I sighed, "What if she's not my mate and it's someone else? The elders seem pretty adamant that I produce an heir fairly quickly after I find my mate. " I looked down at my mom with sad eyes.
