My Beloved Omega

Chapter 2

When we got home Mom and Olivia rushed into the house to get Connor and Dad so that they could help us carry the boy out of the car.

"What happened to him?" Dad asked looking worried as he and Connor carried the boy into the house.

"We don't know we just found him at the side of the road near the forest." Mom replied with a frown on her face.

"Mhmm." He hummed. "Should I place him on the couch or in the spare bedroom?" Dad asked.

"I think the spare room is best, by the looks of things a bed would be way better than a couch for him." Mom replied.

"Okay then, let's go Connor." Dad said as he and Connor climbed up the stairs and went towards the spare bedroom to put the guy down. I honestly felt worried for him he didnt look so good.

"Okay I'm going to go look over his wounds and bandage him up, I'll check to see if he might need a doctor." Mom sighed before she made her way up the stairs.

An hour later Mom came down with a little smile. "Nothing's broken, but by the look of things he is a little underweight." Mom said as she sat down on the kitchen stool.

"I wonder what happened to him." Olivia said out loud.

Mom hummed in response before responding "He looks young maybe about 20 more or less so it's concerning to see a young boy looking like this, but he'll be fine. We'll take care of him for as long as we have to." Mom continued.

"He still hasn't woken up?" I asked with concern lining my voice.

"Not even a slight wink, he didn't move when your Dad and I changed his clothes and bandaged him up." Mom responded.

"I'll make him some food so that he can eat something when he wakes up, he'll probably be hungry." I said standing up to make him a sandwich.

"Thats a good idea Lexi." Olivia said. "Well I'm going to go take a nap and maybe be up by 22:00." Olivia continued as she stretched her limps and made her way to her old bedroom.

"I'm going to shower, if you need anything you know where to find me." Mom said before she pecked my cheek and also made her way to her bedroom.

I quickly made a turkey sandwich and poured some orange juice in one glass and water in another before I made my way upstairs to the guest bedroom with the food. When I got to the room the door was slightly opened so I pushed it with my foot since my hands were occupied then I made my way into the room. As I placed the food on the side table near his bed I couldn't help but admire the boy, he had thick and long eyelashes, full pink lips and his jet black hair looked so smooth and just called out to me. He was handsome that's for sure, I felt like reaching my hand out and caressing his face, but I withheld from that. I was a bit surprised with my thoughts and the sadness that I felt as I looked at this bandaged up boy. Something about him looking like this just broke something in me.

As I was about to make my way out of the door, I heard a little grunt coming from the boy. I quickly moved to his side. I watched as his eyes slowly opened and begin to wonder around before I saw fear setting into them. He started panicking and before I knew it,his breathing had increased and he was starting to hyperventilate.

"Shh, it's okay, you're okay, I won't hurt you." I gently cooed.

Then I heard him say one word in a husky gentle voice, with his eyes filled with love, surprise and confusion. "Mate".

"What did you say?" I asked wanting to be sure that I heard him correctly.

"Mate." He said once again before he started a coughing fit. I quickly reached out to the glass of water, helped him sit up a bit and helped him to drink the water which he finished in 4 gulps, I helped him lay down after he finished drinking before I began stroking his hair in order to hopefully sooth him.

"You hungry?" I asked him, he just shaked his head in response as I watched his eyes begin to droop with sleep and before I knew it his eyes closed as he succumbed to sleep once more. I gently got off of the bed took the empty glass and made my way to the kitchen.

"Please don't leave." I heard a broken voice call out to me from behind. I turned to face him to see fear in the boy's eyes.

I smiled gently at him before I made my way to the bed and sat in the chair next to his bed. "It's okay, I'm not leaving." I responded as I looked into his beautiful emerald green eyes which as I looked closer happened to have gold specks in them. His eyes were gorgeous. His eyes seemed to search through mine for something, he seemed to find it because he then let himself relax into the bed and actually closed his eyes again this time seeming to fall into deep sleep.

I tiptoed out of the room, telling myself that I'll be back to check up on him again soon, but for now I needed to see Mom.
I found my Mom in the kitchen wearing her nightdress and gown on top.

"There you are honey, I was wondering where you were." She said looking up from her bowl full of ice-cream.

"I was upstairs with...." I said wrecking through my brain for the guy's name just for me to realise that I had forgotten to ask him for his name.

"Oh you were with him." Mom said in realisation. "Is he awake?" She asked with hopeful eyes.

"He was awake and Mom.." I said not knowing how to complete my sentence.

"What's wrong Honey?" She asked slightly concerned.

"He called me his Mate." I told her still not really comprehending that I actually had a mate, I have always wanted one, but now that I had him I was so surprised I honestly didn't know how to reach.

"Wow, that's great honey, it's what you always wanted." She said genuinely seeming happy for me. "What's wrong?" She said pulling me into a side hug.

"I guess that I'm just surprised, I've always wanted to find my soulmate and now that I have I'm just so surprised, I didn't expect to find him or for him to find me at such a young age, plus he is injured so I'm more worried about him at this moment." I explained to my mom.

"Oh, it will be okay Honey, he will be fine." She reasurred me in the way that only a mother can.

I hummed in agreement. "Well I'll go check up on him, I even forgot to ask for his name while he was awake." I told my mom with a little smile at my forgetfulness.

"His name wasn't top priority?" Mom responded with a shrug and smile. "Go on, I'll see you later or in the morning then Honey." She said as she went to start making her nightly tea.

"Okay, goodnight then Mom." I said making my way back up the stairs, I quickly peeked into the room and saw that the boy was still soundlessly asleep so I made my way to my room so that I could also get a shower, change into my PJs and go to bed, it was one eventful day so I really just need my beauty sleep especially if I want to regain the energy that I spent at the Mall.
