The car ride was silent. They were now driving towards Alex's place, and Ash couldn't help but overthink like he usually did. What happens now? Are they fully mated now? Is Alex his Alpha? What if he's not good enough to be Alex's mate and Alex gets tired of him? There were so many doubts running through his mind, which only made him feel more insecure about himself. Ash did not know what to do; he had never been in a relationship before, and now he was someone's partner? Everything just happened way too fast. He knew he would have to tell his siblings soon if the texts he kept getting on his phone from Kara and Ohm didn't stop. That's another thing that he had a question about. Would Alex let him go see his siblings? Would he still be able to work at the Cafe? Ash could feel a headache coming on, and he squeezed his eyes shut. This was all too much, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
Ash's eyes flung open when he felt a hand on top of his. When Ash looked over, he saw Alex glance at him with a worried expression before turning his eyes back on the road.
"Are you alright, darling?" Alex asked.
"I'm fine," Ash replied.
Alex shook his head. "Don't lie to me, Ash."
Ash sighed. "It's just...this happened way too fast. I don't know what I'm doing; I just... I don't know anything any more."
Suddenly the car stopped, and when Ash looked out the window, he saw trees among trees, and right in the middle was a gorgeous house. Ash then realized that they had arrived at Alex, and his life was about to change even more.
Alex reached over and grabbed Ash's hand. "Okay, how about we go inside, get you settled, and then you can ask me anything you want to know? Sound good?"
"Okay," Ash said softly.
Alex smiled and got out of the car. He then walked around and opened the door for Ash. Ash gave him a shy smile as he got out and followed Alex to the back of the car to get his things. When Ash reached out for his bag (He didn't bring much), Alex gently slapped his hand away and grabbed his bag instead. Ash tried to protest, saying he could carry it himself, but Alex just laughed and started to head towards the door. When Alex took a key out of his pocket and unlocked the door, he walked in and waited until Ash was inside before shutting the door.
"Alright, let me give you the grand tour. This room is the living room, and that's over there in the kitchen." Alex said, pointing over at the kitchen.
Ash just nodded as he followed Alex around. He showed him the three guest rooms that were in his house; he showed him the guest bathroom; and then they stopped at a gorgeous blue door. Alex looked at Ash as he placed his hand on the doorknob and smirked. When he opened it, he allowed Ash to step in first.
"And this, darling, is our bedroom."
"Wow," Ash replied as he walked around. He saw Alex place his bag down and follow him around the room. Ash sat down on the bed and sighed when he felt how soft and big it was. His bed back home was terrible and springy. When he got up, he walked around and saw there was a bathroom connected to the room, and when he walked in, his eyes widened. The shower was huge, and there was a separate bathtub that was also huge. There were two sinks and two closets.
When he walked out of the bathroom, he saw Alex sitting on the bed, looking at him. Before Ash knew it, Alex got off the bed and walked right up to him, standing in front of him. The alpha then wrapped his arms around the omega and rested his head on Ash's shoulder, placing his nose up against Ash's neck.
"You smell so good. You're going to be the death of me." Alex growled. He then placed a kiss on Ash's pulse point, where he had given Ash the mating bite, and Ash couldn't help but shiver. Alex smiled and placed another kiss on Ash's neck. "I can't believe you're mine. All mine."
"Alex..." Ash whispered.
Alex placed one last kiss on Ash's pulse point before lifting his head up. He then brought a hand up and placed it on Ash's cheek.
"You're gorgeous. Has anybody ever told you that?" Alex whispered back.
Ash closed his eyes and shook his head. "No."
Alex could feel Ash shaking, so he hugged Ash tighter to himself.
"Ash, darling, tell me what's wrong."
"What does this mean? Are you my alpha? Are we mates now?" Ash asked.
Yes, I am your alpha now, but we're not fully mated. The mating bite was the first step, and once we complete the second step, then we will be fully mated."
"The second step?" Win asked.
"Yes, when you go into heat, and if you want me to help you, that's when we complete the second step. There will be another mating bite involved as well."
Ash closed his eyes. "I've never had anyone help me through a heat before." Ash whispered.
"Never? You're joking, right?"
Ash shook his head and untangled himself from Alex. He was embarrassed, and he was worried that once he told Alex, Alex wouldn't want him anymore.
Ash felt tears in his eyes, and he shook his head, trying to clear his mind. The wolf inside him was telling him to whine and claw to get out. Ash didn't know what to do.
He whimpered and took a step back from Alex. This was all too much.
Alex Wolf could feel Ash Wolf's distress. Alex wanted to protect him, to wrap his arms around Ash and never let him go.
So he walked right up to Ash once more and wrapped him in his arms once more. "Shhh, shhh, it's okay."
Ash whined and buried his head against Alex's neck. He let his scent fill his nose, calming him down. His alpha's scent
"Please, please don't judge me," Ash whined.
Alex shook his head and rubbed soothing circles on his back. "I would never. Why would I judge you, my sweet omega?"
"I've never been in a relationship before; I'm still a virgin. Every fucking time I went to the mating run, no one would go after me. Do you know how bad that makes me feel? That no one has ever wanted me? I mean, sure, people want me, but that's only because I'm a fucking omega. I hate being an omega, Alex. I don't. I'm only good for sex, right? That's what I've been told over and over again."
Alex felt his heartbreak. How could people be so cruel to this beautiful boy? He was so much more than an omega.
When Alex felt something wet slide across his shoulder and neck, he knew Ash was crying.
"Alex.."
"I'm sorry, Alpha; I didn't mean to say all that. Alpha, I'm sorry." Ash whined.
"No, no, it's okay. I'm glad you told me."
"I understand if you don't want me anymore," Ash whispered.
Alex sighed and placed a finger under Ash's chin, lifting his head up. "Don't you ever say that again. I want you so much, Ash. I enjoy being your alpha, and I appreciate that you are my omega. You need not despise yourself for being an Omega beauty. Sure, you're an omega, but that's what makes you special. And you're not just sexually attractive, sweetheart. You're worth so much."
"I... It's been a long day. Can I go to bed?"
Alex nodded and kissed the top of his head. "Of course. Let's get you to bed, darling."
When Ash woke up, he saw sunlight bursting through the windows and creeping through the blinds behind his closed eyelids. Ash groaned and slowly opened his eyes. When he looked around, he saw that he wasn't in his bedroom anymore, and when he felt a strong arm wrapped around his waist, he started to freak out. He slowly turned his head, and when he saw it was just Alex, the memories of last night came flooding back to him. Ash sighed and closed his eyes once more. The next thing he felt was a kiss on his neck, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Alex looking straight at him. "Good morning, gorgeous," Alex whispered. "Morning," Ash replied. Minutes passed with them lying in silence until Alex decided to get up. Ash couldn't help but stare. Alex was only wearing sweat pants, and boy did that do something to Ash. Ash himself was wearing sweatpants and a tank top. When Alex stretched, Ash saw his back muscles ripple, and Ash had to look away. Alex, who wasn't facing Ash, smirked when h
Stepping into the club made Ash nervous. He hated big crowds, and he wasn't really the clubbing type. The scents of different alphas weren't helping him relax either. Not only that, but his siblings are going to meet his new alpha, and Ash just hoped Kara didn't say or do anything stupid. He also hoped that Ohm couldn't embarrass him by telling him stories about when they were kids. That was not a fun time. Ash was interrupted by his thoughts when he felt a hand intertwine with his. Ash looked to his left and saw Alex smiling at him while lifting up Ash's hand and kissing the back of it. "Let me know if you see your siblings," Alex said, and Ash nodded. Walking towards the bar, Ash felt many eyes on him. He held on to Alex's hand like his life depended on it. Alex looked over at Ash and saw how distressed his omega was, and he pulled him into a hug. Ash buried his head into Alex's neck so he could smell Alex's scent. Alex's scent smelled like strawberries and cream, and it was amazi
Alex looked over to where Ash was looking and saw four people. One was a long, black-haired female with good style who looked older and clearly was an alpha. And an arm was wrapped around her by a man who is clearly his mate, and he is also Alpha. Next to them was a boy who was like a teenager's kid and was also an Alpha. He was holding hands with a pretty lady with brown, shaggy hair and glasses. She was a beta. He saw the four of them make their way towards a table. Alex looked over at Ash and grabbed his hand gently as he led them to the table his siblings were at with their drinks in their free hands. When they got to the table, every head at that table turned their way. He heard both Simon, Jessica, and Ohm gasp when they saw Alex with his hand connected to Ash. Ohm got up and pulled his brother into a hug. Soon everyone gave him a hug, and they were now sitting down. "Oh my god. You're Alex." Jessica said she earned an eye roll from Ohm. "Yes, I am. And who are all of you?" Al
One minute they were talking, and the next Alex Wolf was tugging at him and whining. Ash was in trouble. "Bunny." Alex gasped and stood up from the table. "Alex, what's wrong?" Ohm asked. "Ash is in trouble," Alex said, and he ran off towards the restroom with Ohm right on his heels. When Alex opened the restroom door, what he heard made him see red and also feel sick. "No...no...please stop." "Stop lying. You are a whore. That's what Omega is. You like this; don't deny it." "Please...Stop." Alex had heard enough. When he rounded the corner, he saw Ash pressed up against the wall, with Seth sucking on his neck and his hand down Ash's pants. Ash's eyes were closed with tears rolling down his cheeks, and his face was scrunched up in pain. Alex growled out loudly, causing Ash's eyes to snap open and Seth to turn his head. When he saw Alex, he smirked and licked Ash's neck and cheek. Alex growled once more. His eyes were glowing gold, his canines were showing, and his claws were o
They were almost towards the house when the scent got strong and filled the car. Alex looked over at Ash, who glanced over at Alex with wide eyes before turning his head to look out the window in embarrassment. A scent this strong could only mean one thing. Ash was about to go into heat. "Ash," Alex said as they pulled up to the house. "I know, okay?" Ash said it a little bitterly. Alex sighed and got out of the car. He walked around, and when he opened Ash's door, he reached in, unbuckled Ash, and scooped him into his arms, causing a small yelp from the omega. Alex laughed and started to head for the door. Alex, I can walk," Ash said, rolling his eyes. "I'm sure you can, darling," Alex replied. Ash huffed but didn't protest anymore. Alex was going to do whatever he wanted, which was kind of hot in Ash's opinion. Alex opened the door, walked inside the house, and headed towards their bedroom. He then gently laid Ash down on the bed and moved to the other side of the bed so he cou
When Ash woke up, he felt fingers lightly massaging his scalp, and it felt good. Ash's heat had finally ended, and Ash was so relieved that it had. He then sighed and remembered Alex biting him and knowing him. He was completely mated, and he had never felt so happy before. Ash looked up and saw Alex looking down at him with a smile. He looked down at himself and realized that Alex must have cleaned himself, which made Ash blush. Alex laughed and kissed Ash's temple. "How do you feel?" Alex asked as he continued to thread his fingers through Ash's messy hair. "Mmm, good," Ash replied. "You?" "Amazing. You're my buddy, Bunny. I couldn't be happier." "I honestly thought I would never have a mate," Ash said as he buried his face between Alex's shoulder and neck. "Oh, Ash..." Alex sighed and kissed the top of his head. "Thank you for choosing me, Alex," Ash whispered. "I would do it all over again if I had to. You're the one I want, Ash, no one else." Ash purred and nuzzled his hea
When Ash woke up, he realized he was in Alex's bed. Well, it's their bed now. Ash looked around the room and saw that Alex was nowhere, so he slowly got out of bed, and when he did, a smell of food hit his nose. He furrowed his brows in confusion, and when he stepped out of the room, he walked into the kitchen, and Ash gasped. The table had candles lit upon it, two soup plates, and glasses with forks and spoons. There was a radio that was playing some classical music. Ash smiled at him before he saw Alex walking towards him. "What is all of this?" Ash asked as Alex wrapped his arm around him. "I thought we could have a date. We don't really know that much about each other, and I think it's about time we had a date, don't you agree?" Ash looked back at the table and then at Alex. Alex, did you do all of this?" Alex smirked and said, "Do you see anyone else here?" Ash rolled his eyes and nuzzled his head into Alex's neck. "Thank you," Ash whispered. "Anything for you, my darling. N
The next day, Alex wanted to go shopping for a new TV to put in their room so they could watch movies and shows together while in bed. Alex begged Ash to go, and Ash gave in because, well, it was his alpha asking, and he knew he couldn't say no. When they got to Best Buy, they headed towards the TV section. They looked at so many of them until Alex found the one he liked. He asked Ash if he liked it because if he didn't, he wouldn't get it. Ash smiled and said, Yeah, he did, so it was settled. "Help me put this in the cart, will your bunny?" Alex asked Ash. "Are you sure about that?" A female voice spoke behind the two. Ash and Alex both spun around to see a girl about their age looking at them. She was clearly an alpha, and the way she was glaring at Ash was making the omega uncomfortable. However, he was used to this kind of treatment, so it didn't put him off too much. "Sure about what?" Alex asked calmly. "About him helping you lift that. He's an omega. Are you sure he can han
