It was now 8 p.m., and Ohm closed the cafe early. Usually, the cafe would stay open until midnight, but Ohm wanted to close it early so he could get Ash's mind off of Seth.
Ohm and Ash both drove their cars to the beginning of the woods. Both of them parked their cars and got out. They both walked over to each other and then turned their bodies so they were facing the woods.
"So I think we should check out the well," Ohm said with a grin.
Ash's eyes went wide, and he shook his head. "Oh, we can't. That side of the woods is private territory."
Ohm still had that smug look on his face. "Come on, Ash, stop being such a baby!"
Ash closed his eyes. Ohm was an alpha, and whenever he demanded things like that, it made the omega in him want to obey.
When Ash opened his eyes, he saw Ohm wink at him and crouch down, and within minutes, he was a wolf. His fur was golden, and his eyes were golden as well.
The color of the eyes changed whenever someone transformed. It was gold for alphas, green for betas, and blue for omegas.
"Seriously, Ohm, we can't go there," Ash said, looking down at the wolf.
Ohm shook his head and went into a full sprint, leaving Ash in the dust. Ash sighed and crouched down, turning himself into a wolf.
Ash Wolf was gorgeous. His fur was snow-white, with only his tail, ears, and paws being black.
Ash huffed and started to run as well. He saw Ohm far ahead of him turn left, and when Ash got to the point where Ohm had turned, he couldn't see the Alpha anywhere. He stopped running, closed his eyes, and sniffed the air. When he finally caught the scent of Ohm, he broke out into a full run once again. Ten minutes later, Ohm was still nowhere to be seen. Ash looked around and realized he was lost. He stopped running once more, and when he sniffed the air, he couldn't smell Ohm's scent anymore because there was a new one, and it was strong. It was Alpha, and boy did it smell amazing.
Ash shook his head as he tried to concentrate on Ohm's scent, which was barely there, and before he could get it, he was tackled to the ground and was now laying on his back with another wolf pinning him down. The wolf was huge, and it smelled like the same alpha he had been smelling. The wolf's fur was black with a reddish tint, and his eyes were gold. He was gorgeous, and Ash had never seen a wolf like that before. When Ash looked up, he saw the Alpha growling at him and showing his canine teeth. Ash whimpered and closed his eyes. He knew this was a bad idea. He should not have run after Ohm, but of course, like the omega he was and the older brother he was, he did.
Suddenly, he no longer felt a wolf on top of him but a human body. When he opened his eyes, he saw the most beautiful man he had ever seen, but that wasn't all. It was the alpha of all alphas. It was none other than Alex. When Ash looked into the Alpha's eyes, he whimpered again because now he was scared. He didn't know what Alex was going to do.
"Shift." The Alpha demanded
Ash whined as his body shifted into human form. Ash was finally in human form, and he felt Alex grab his wrists and pin him down.
"Please don't hurt me," Ash whispered.
"What are you doing here?" Alex demanded.
"I was following my brother. I told him it wasn't a good idea. He wanted to see the well, but they told him he shouldn't come to this part of the woods. I'm a sorry alpha." Alex whimpered out.
Alex, who was straddling Ash, lifted his free hand that wasn't holding down Ash's wrist and brought it up to Ash's face, slowly stroking his cheek with a finger.
Ash knew that Alex could probably smell his scent, and Alex obviously knew that Ash was an omega.
Alex then leaned his head down, and his nose was rubbing up against Ash's neck. Ash froze. Alex was scenting him. That never happened to him. Sure, many people want to smell him, but they never do because, well, it's Ash.
Ash shivered when he felt Alex place a tiny kiss on his neck. Alex then lifted his head and looked Ash right in the eyes.
"What is your name, little omega?" Alex asked.
"Ash..."
"But I call you bunny." Alex says.
Ash looks at me in shock.
Well, Bunny, I don't want you ever coming back here, got it?' Alex growled.
"Yes."
"Yes, what?"
"Yes alpha."
Alex smirked and got up off of Ash. "Good. Now go home. Don't worry; your brother is already waiting for you by your cars. Goodbye gorgeous." With a blink of an eye, Alex was gone. Ash got up and ran until he was out of the woods. When he spotted Ohm, wondering what the hell Kara was doing here, she ran over to them and gave Ohm the death glare.
Kara looked over and raised an eyebrow. She then sniffed the air and leaned closer to Ash, who was sniffing him. When Kara pulled back, her eyes went wide.
"Why do you smell like that? Did you run into another Alpha? Did they hurt you?" Kara asked.
Ash sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm fine, Kara. I'm going to go home and ask this stupid thing," Ash Gare says to Ohm, who just grins.
Before Ash got to his car, Kara grabbed his wrist. "Ash tells me what happened right now."
Ash closed his eyes and curled his hand into a fist. "Yes, I ran into an alpha. Just drop it, Kara."
Kara sighed. "He didn't hurt you."
"No, like I said, I'm fine."
Ohm nodded. "Okay, man. Whatever you say, I'll see you tomorrow, brother."
"Yes, go fuck yourself; I'm taking him home. You are stupid." Kara smacks Ohm's head, who just grins.
"And you let go."
Ash said as he got into Kara's car and drove all the way back to his apartment.

The next day went pretty quickly. Ash woke up, took a shower (He didn't take one that night because the smell of Alex on him made him more relaxed and helped him fall asleep), ate breakfast, and headed to work. Work went by pretty fast as well. It was now 11:30 at night, and Ash was so glad Seth didn't stop by. The cafe was mainly empty except for a couple who were sitting by a window, enjoying the coffee. When they left, it was now midnight, and Ohm turned the open sign to close.
"So...tomorrow is the mating run," Ohm said as Ash started cleaning the counter.
"Yep," Ash said, trying to get away from the topic.
"You're going, right?"
Ash stopped cleaning and looked over at Ohm with an unamused look on his face. "You're kidding, right? Of course, I'm going. I literally have no choice."
"It was just a question; calm down," Ohm said, rolling his eyes.
"Well, I'm not excited, Ohm. It's just another reminder that no one wants me and that I'm going to be forever unmated. it's fine."
"I wouldn't say nobody wants you, dude."
Ash raises an eyebrow. "What?"
"Do you not see how many alphas, even betas, look at you?" Ohm asked.
Ash huffed. "It's only because I'm an omega and they can smell me or something."
Ohm shook his head. "I mean, yeah, that's a part of it, but bro, you're a catch. I mean, you don't compare to me, but still."
Ash smiled and threw the wet washcloth at a strangled Ohm.
When they cleaned the cafe up, they said their goodbyes, and Ash went home with only one thought on his mind. The mating run was tomorrow, and Ash was nervous, a little excited, but most of all scared.
It was the day of the run, and Ash was standing alongside the other omegas. Looking over his shoulder, he could see the alphas looking at the group, along with some betas. Ash couldn't help his shaky hands as he waited for the event holder to start speaking. The run was held at the woods, the same one Ash and Ohm were at the other night. However, they couldn't get too far because this was the only day Alex territory was fenced off, so no one could run into that part of the woods. The run went like this: The Omegas lined up horizontally facing the woods. When they hear a gunshot, they race off into the woods, turning into their wolf form. They would find a hiding spot and wait until they heard the last gunshot. When the second gunshot is heard, the betas will race off into the woods. Finally, when the last gunshot is heard, it's time for the alphas to run into the woods. Alphas would usually go for omegas, while betas usually went for other betas. However, there are times when betas an
When Alex is sure that Ash is fully asleep, he closes his eyes and concentrates on the sound. He hears the growling get closer, and Alex knows what he must do. He shifts back into his wolf form and starts to walk towards the cave entrance. When he gets there, he sees the same wolf that tackled Ash to the ground in the first place. The next thing that the other alpha wolf does surprises Alex. Seth turns into his human self. Seeing Seth shift back to his human side, Alex does the same. "Where is he? Ash is mine." Seth growled as his claws came out and he showed his white canines. "He's not yours, and he never will be. Now leave." Alex growled back. Seth laughed. "I know he's here. I can smell his delicious scent." Alex grew and took a step closer. "Do you know who I am?" "Of course. You're Alex. That doesn't mean anything to me. Now I'm going to take the little omega, and you can't stop me." Seth replied and took a step. Alex raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure about that?" What hap
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 glanc
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
