Fantasy RP The Alpha's omega (FaeWhisperer)

[Mysti]

Aurora

Aurora was a werewolf, not one that held an important role in a pack. No, she had been born an omega and an omega she would stay. Her original Alpha had taken great interest in her and had used her for his own pleasure forcing her to sleep with him often, but anytime she went into heat he would lock her away so that no one could get her pregnant and she hated it. She never understood why she was only good enough to fuck when he wanted too but not good enough for him to sate her heat. But now things had changed, another Alpha from the nearby city was expanding his territory and pack, they lived in a large mansion just on the edge of the city and now Aurora found herself there.

Her old Alpha had told her simply that he was giving her to this new Alpha as a peace offering, he didn't want his pack taken over or killed and so his brilliant idea was to give an omega to this Alpha that was moving closer to his pack. Aurora had come to the mansion with only the short black dress she had been shoved into, she owned nothing and any clothes that she did have her old Alpha owned. Her old Alpha had brought her to the mansion at sunset, dropped her off and had promptly left. She could hear people inside, it sounded so lively and happy as if they were having a party.

She wasn't used to a pack that sounded as if everyone got along, Aurora was used to chaos. Fear and pain was what she was used to. Fighting was a normal occurrence in her now old pack that it was a typical day to just see blood splattered around and see someone either dying or wishing they were dead because of the pain they were in. The only reprieve she had from the pack was the bartending job she had taken at a local club that only catered to supernatural creatures. Shaking her head a little she walked up to the front door and knocked firmly, she didn't want to be there but her old Alpha had told her if she didn't go he would hunt her down and kill her and she had no doubt about that.

Aurora didn't know what kind of man this new Alpha of hers was, they had never met, at least she didn't believe that they had. Waiting for a bit she knocked again, harder this time, hearing footsteps coming to the door she dropped her hand down to her side and waited patiently for the door to open. When it did she came face to face with a chest, she wasn't terribly short as she stood at five foot five but the man in front of her was tall, tipping her head back a little her eyes widened in surprise. She knew the man standing in front of her, he was the man who owned the club she worked at. Of course she didn't know him well as he often came to the club and went to his office to do whatever it was he did behind that closed door but Aurora had seen him.

"Hi" she said slowly with a small frown, Aurora had know he was a werewolf because of his scent but she had never taken notice of the power that rolled off of him. It made her want to kick herself now that she took note of the power, he was an Alpha and she hadn't noticed one single time she had seen him walk through the club. "My-uh..." Aurora started before she sighed softly and looked down at the ground not wanting to look at his face anymore, "You've been expecting an omega from a nearby pack...so here I am" she finished with a small shake of her head.

Of all people she could have been given too, it had to be the owner of the club of all people.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Michael had never been much of a traditionalist, and neither had been his family. Growing up, he had always believed he had been a fully purebred vampire, but it had later been discovered that his family had been keeping a well known secret, that he and his siblings were actually hybrids. His father had originally been a vampire hunter, turned werewolf- but once meeting his mother, he married into vampire royalty and never looked back. Presenting, his father didn’t look like your average werewolf, so he had been easily disguised as a vampire for decades— up until the birth of their three sons. Michael, being the youngest of the three, unfortunately had been the one to officially leak the secret on accident, because he had been born with fluffy ears and a tail to show. So the theoretical cat was out of the bag by now, but with a bit of magic, him and his brothers’ werewolf bloodline had been suppressed while growing up, mostly for their own good. Because hybrids, in a royal vampire family could only spell trouble. Not to mention with his oldest brother’s coronation coming up soon— it could prove a bit more problems than needed. And unfortunately, magic suppression didn’t last for long. Especially with the blocks on their minds forgetting their true heritage? That would wane over time as well.

And his memory had already come back to him by now. He had discovered the truth awhile ago while still at his home with his parents and younger sister, and their heritage was exactly why his younger sister had been so sick all the time, the two bloodlines had been consistently fighting for dominance in her frail body. But of course she didn’t know that, and neither did anyone else or his two older brothers. Michael had honestly felt betrayed by his family, hiding such a valuable secret to them, but he figured they had their reasons. And so, he had left unannounced- but he had always been known to be aloof and rarely seen, so he doubt anyone would take note of his missing presence.

So that brings him to the present moment- like his other siblings, he had left home and made a name for himself, outside of his known reputation— well, his eldest brother hadn’t quite hidden who he had been, at least that’s what he heard— but for Michael, it seemed that him and his family had a reputation of not being so subtle. He had first had wanted a quiet life, but he soon found himself as the alpha of one of the largest packs in the area of the town that he resided in, and it had been known that he was clearly one of the more powerful alphas in the area, and generally well liked.

For Michael, he easily stood over 6 foot tall and was more lean than one would expect, but his power as a hybrid was unmatched. His amber colored eyes glowed a soft gold at some points, but rarely.

There had been word that an alpha of a rival pack was giving away an omega, and at first Michael was hesitant to accept any new members, as some times they could cause trouble— yet when he found out what Aurora had been through, he had immediately accepted the offer. At first, he wondered if there had been a catch to all of this, but the moment the pitiful woman had presented to him, he instantly recognized who she was.

She was one of his bartenders at a local club he had owned, and he was honestly very surprised she had been a part of that brutal pack. And very surprised she had made it out alive. And the very fact she was a werewolf was news to him as he barely scented anything off of her, so it made only sense that she was an omega.

Watching her intently as she lowered her head she would hear him speak to her in a firm yet gentle voice. “Lift your head..” he commanded, wanting her to look at him. Once she did so, he looked at her with a gentleness that no one else had done before. “You are welcomed here,” he started, noting her shy and timid behavior. “Our pack will be your new home, and don’t ever think of yourself less than others simply because of your rank. Here, my pack members are on equal grounds and footings— they understand one another and have a deeply held affection for each other.” Which was true, his pack members were one of the few who may have had different rankings, yet everyone was treated like family. Close friendships were formed between members and each one looked after each other.

 

[Mysti]

Aurora raised her head when Michael told her too, when it came to alphas she was obedient as she had been taught from a young age that obedience was the only thing that would keep her safe, listening to him as he went on to speak about how she was welcome there. She had never felt welcomed anywhere besides the club that Michael owned, but there they did not know what rank she held in a pack and Aurora planned to keep it that way.

As soon as Michael told her that his pack members were on equal grounds and that they all understood each other and held affection for each other as well Aurora couldn't help but snort a little, "I'm sorry, but I'll believe that when I see it" she said casually with a small shake of her head. She didn't believe that any pack could even treat someone as low as her in any way other than what she had been raised with, Aurora had never met other omegas who were happy with their packs. They like her had fought to live and had also done whatever they needed to do to make sure they wouldn't be killed.

Looking up at him Aurora couldn't help but admire how handsome he was. Sure, she had noticed it the first time she had ever met him, but now that she was standing in front of him outside of the club Aurora could easily study him. She knew the other women who worked in the club swooned for the man in front of her and because of her old alpha being so obsessed with keeping Aurora to himself, until he gave her away, she had never taken the time to actively take in Michael's appearance.

Reaching up Aurora tucked some of her hair behind her left ear to keep it out of her face as she looked at Michael, "Are you going to let me inside, or would you prefer I stay out here?" Aurora questioned with a raised brow, she couldn't help but wonder where he would want her to sleep. If he wanted to keep her in his room with him she would not object as she didn't know any other way to live, but Aurora had a feeling that the man in front of her was going to turn her whole world upside down and change everything she thought she knew about being a werewolf.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Michael noticed that he had lingered a little too long at the door, and gave a brief clearing of his throat before stepping aside and motioning for Aurora to come in. Once inside he closed the door behind her and walked her over to the main gathering hall, where there sounded about over 100 people or more dining and chatting- their voices bright and lively, unlike the ones Aurora had been used to.

When he walked in, the room suddenly became quiet and all eyes turned to him and Aurora. Yet the eyes felt curious and not malicious. Upon taking in the crowd, Aurora would note that it was not just werewolves that graced this mansion, but vampires, mages and humans alike. Of course, werewolves were the majority, but there wasn’t a sense of who was who in the pack, as all blended in and all sat with one another at the dining table.

Michael made his way to the front of the table where his chair sat, and there was an empty chair beside him, possibly reserved for his mate- but the chair had no scent in it Aurora would notice, and notice that Michael had pulled the chair back and motioned for her to sit.

Once seated, Michael cleared his throat and waited for hushed whispers to stop and he formally announced who Aurora was. “Everyone, please, welcome her as I have welcomed her, and treat her well like I have treated you all well,” and with that the room burst alive once more, and several of the pack members came over to greet Aurora, trying to be friendly to her, hoping they wouldn’t scare the poor girl off as they could tell she was very nervous.

It wasn’t until a vampire with bright ruby red eyes and raven hair introduced himself, then would she noticed the dynamic of Michael’s pack. “Lovely to meet you,” he said with charm, he easily was almost as tall as Michael, and he had been sitting on the opposite side of where Michael had sat. “I’m Lucius, Michael’s Beta-“ and he could see the curious look on her face. “I see you’re confused, but don’t worry, I’m more than capable of rounding up these rowdy bunch,” he said with a laugh.

Michael gave a soft sigh and a shake of his head as he sat, looking to Aurora, “please, fill up your plate, you must be hungry,” he tells her now, soon glancing to Lucius. Lucius had a quarter of werewolf in his lineage, but it had been watered down and barely noticeable. And most of the ‘vampires’ here weren’t true vampires, they were hybrids just like Michael was.

But all was welcomed to his pack, as long as you did not cause trouble and were a good person at heart- those like Aurora’s previous alpha, were not permitted to enter or even be apart of Michael’s pack. He hated people like that, plain and simple.

Michael watched Lucius make his rounds, and if Aurora was watching, Lucius soon stood by a female werewolf—and they seemed good friends- perhaps even lovers at first, since Lucius did whisper something in her ear and made the poor girl blush.

Drawing his attention back to Aurora he studied her face for just a moment. “If you do not wish to eat right now, you can always grab some food from our kitchen later,” he said and then added in, “I’ll make sure to show you around the place after dinner,” he promised, resuming his eating. He had a picked up a glass of thick red liquid, and one would know it was blood. But the scent smelled off- perhaps it had been synthetic? It was odd for a werewolf to need blood like a vampire though..

Michael then drank from his glass before moving to eat what was left on his plate, and the food here was certainly high quality and smelled very delicious.

 

[Mysti]

Following him inside of the house when he stepped out of the way and allowed her inside, she stayed behind him without question as he walked making sure she stayed just behind him. Looking at all of the people in the room when they stopped talking to look at her Aurora fought the urge to squirm and try to hide from them, it had never been a good thing in her old pack when everyone looked at someone. You either flew completely under the radar so that everyone ignored you, or you became a threat to everyone in her old pack. Looking at the chair that was free beside Michael she hesitated slightly before she walked towards him and sat down in the chair that he had gestured for her to sit in, placing her hands in her lap Aurora looked at those in the room wondering how all of the fit together.

After Michael had introduced her to the pack she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed as people began to talk at her, their voices seemed to blend together almost making Aurora's head spin. She knew at work she was a very different person, Aurora knew that she came off as more of a rough person but that was because she didn't want people to pry into her personal life but when it came to being in a pack she knew her place very well. Aurora was never one to bring attention to herself with her old alpha to the point that she was used to normally being ignored by the other pack members because she was an omega.

Looking at the vampire who introduced himself to her Aurora couldn't stop the look of confusion that came across her face as she had never met a vampire in a pack before, with a frown she watched as Lucius headed off to talk to others and she kept him in her line of sight out of pure curiosity before she looked at Michael when he spoke to her about filling up her plate. Looking at the plate and food in front of her Aurora stayed sitting completely still, never making a move to reach out for the food in front of her. She was used to having the scraps and leftovers that the idea of having a choice of what to eat was almost daunting for her.

Realising she was neither getting food nor saying anything Aurora shook her head slightly "I'm not hungry" she said softly, when he said that she could get food from the kitchen later if she wanted too she nodded her head, the idea of eating in front of so many people was unusual for her as Aurora was used to getting food after everyone else in the pack was asleep. She knew how she had been raised and how she had been living was very barbaric compared to modern packs but Aurora didn't know any different.

"Okay" Aurora said lightly when Michael said that he would show her around after dinner, turning her attention fully to him she frowned slightly seeing the thick red liquid he was drinking she wanted to question him why he was drinking blood but she stopped herself as it was not her place to question an alpha.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Michael leaned back in his chair, and watched over his pack members. Some had already excused themselves for the night and went off to their own rooms. It wasn’t until Michael had finished eating did the rest of the pack members leave. They thanked Michael on their way out and soon when it was just Lucius, Michael and Aurora, Michael turned to Aurora.

“Come with me,” he commanded her next, standing and moving to reach out a hand for her to take. He glanced over at Lucius, “Lucius, make sure her room is ready,” he commanded his bets and Lucius gave a wave to Michael, “sure thing boss,” he said, a bit of a playful tone to his words as he left to go do so.

“In the meantime, let me show you your new home,” he says to Aurora next, he continued to wait for her to take his hand, if she did take it. Once she did or didn’t to stand, he then proceeded to make his way out of the gathering hall / dining hall, and took her first to the kitchen, showing the servants who worked there and they all warmly greeted Aurora. The head chef turned and told Aurora that if she ever was craving a midnight snack, she could always treat herself to one, and showed her one of the many pantries.

Michael gave a soft sigh- but not one out of annoyance- it was only him finding his chef’s mannerisms to be quite unusual, but he figured that he was just trying to make Aurora feel welcomed.

As they didn’t linger too long, Michael soon showed Aurora the gardens, to which all where neatly tended to by more servants— the greenhouse was the biggest defining factor of the garden, and it was full of different plants, flowers and herbs alike. Michael glanced briefly to Aurora and told her the next two stops would be the library and the mages wing of the mansion, where they could practice their spells without getting in anyone’s way.

The library in itself was magnificent and any book she could think of would be there. It was mostly there due to Michael’s right hand mage, seeing to that the library had rotating magical books and always had whatever you wanted to read in stock. And the fact that it connected to the mages wing wasn’t a surprise.

Upon walking through that wing, Aurora would be able to feel the powerful pull of magic from the rooms, and hear some spells being recited. They passed a lab room / experiment room, to which some mages were working on brewing potions.

It wasn’t much longer until Michael took Aurora to her room, and opened the doors letting her walk inside. The inside was intricately detailed- the bed in itself showed deep dark, cherry wood- as was for the dressers and drawers. A large window was at the end of the room, showcasing the gardens. The bedroom also had its own bathroom attached to it and the closet seemed to be full of clothes all picked to.. Aurora’s tastes?

“If you’re wondering about the clothes, and the fact that these rooms seem bigger than expected..it’s all, helped through magic,” he explained as he leaned on the door frame. “Either way, I do hope the room will be to your liking.. the room senses your preferences and adjusts to them accordingly.” And he waited for her overall response.

So far, everyone has been kind and welcoming to her. Hell, even this alpha who had a mysterious air about him seemed to be kind and gentle with her. His amber colored eyes focused in on her face, wondering how mistreated she truly had been, considering how timid she was.

 

[Mysti]

As soon as Michael commanded Aurora to go with him she instantly stood up without a second thought, she was good at following orders and never questioned them. That was what had kept her alive so long. Glancing at Lucius a little when the two men spoke she stayed quiet before she took Michael's hand when he held it out for her to take, walking with him she stayed silent as he showed her around, there was something odd about how everyone seemed to be so nice to her that Aurora didn't know what to make of it.

Looking at everything with interest Aurora was amazed at how this mansion was, it was so different from the dingy, rundown house that she had come from. As soon as they entered the library she couldn't help but look around in awe, she had never seen so many books in once place outside of a normal library before. Aurora knew she would be spending a lot of time there if Michael allowed her too as she loved reading, it was the one thing that allowed her to escape from the hell of her life in her old pack.

Keeping ahold of his hand as he continued to show her around she was baffled by all of the magic she could feel pressing against her skin, in a way it was almost unbearable but at the same time it rolled off of her easily like water. Looking at the bedroom that Michael took her too she stepped inside of the room with him and her lips parted slightly, she had never really had her own room before expect for when she went into heat and her old alpha locked her away.

Letting go of his hand Aurora took a few more steps into the room and began to look at everything, it was amazing. And the clothes were fantastic since when she worked she normally wore tight fitting jeans and crop tops, when she walked to work she would wear a jacket over her clothes to hide away the many scars on her lower back from fights but she didn't wear it in the club as it was dark enough that no one saw them when she was working.

Turning to look at Michael as he explained how the clothes were there and at the room was bigger was all because of magic, "Oh" she said softly a slightly overwhelmed look coming over her face before she quickly schooled her face back into a neutral expression. Staying standing in front of him Aurora shuffled her feet a little nervously as he stared at her, there was something about his gaze that both unsettled her but also intrigued her, "Do...do you want me to take my dress of for you?" Aurora asked slowly giving Michael a small insight into what she had been taught all alphas wanted from their omegas.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Michael watched as she nervously shuffled her feet, before she asked if he wanted her to undress. He gave a surprised look as in he hadn’t been expecting any of that, before shaking his head in reply. “No..please, don’t-“ he tells her quickly, “I’m going to leave you here for now,” he tells her next. He turned away from Aurora.

He then turned his head to the side and told her this, “Whatever your old pack taught you..” he trailed off and gave a soft sigh, “is simply not true,” he finishes, before closing the door behind him and leaving Aurora to herself in the room.

Michael then retreated to his room, soon slumping down onto his bed. He let out a long sigh, frustrated about something. And he knew what was bugging him.

It was Aurora.

Of course she was beautiful and scented like a potential mate for him, but he actually wanted to get to know her first— more so than he already had back at the night club he had owned. He hated how her previous alpha had treated her, and he knew it would be instant hands on sight— if Michael even did come across her old pack leader.

 

[Mysti]

Aurora gave Michael a genuine look of surprise when he told her no and that he was going to leave her there, "O-Okay" she said softly confused if she had done something wrong. But when he said that whatever her old pack had taught her had simply not been true she frowned at him but before she could question him about it he was gone and the door to her room was closed.

Sighing softly to herself she shook her head slightly before she headed into the attached bathroom, stripping out of the dress she set about getting herself a lovely hot bubble bath. Aurora did not know when the last time she had had a bubble bath was but she knew she was going to enjoy it. After an hour of soaking in the bath after cleaning herself Aurora got out of the bath, going to the closet she grabbed a white satin bathrobe and pulled it on.

Looking around the room a little she shook her head a bit before she headed for the door, now that it seemed that the house had quietened down enough for her to think and not be ambushed by people wanting to talk to her Aurora felt comfortable enough to leave the room and head for the kitchen to get herself something to eat. Leaving the room she made her way to the kitchen easily, it was one of the perks of being a werewolf, she could follow her nose anywhere. In the kitchen she grabbed herself a chocolate croissant and began to eat it slowly as she made her way to the library, Aurora wanted to look at the books there at least for a little while.

Once she was in the library Aurora held her croissant in her right hand as she gently trailed the fingers of her left hand against the spines of some of the books, she didn't know if she wanted to read but she just wanted to look for now at everything that was there. It was amazing that there was so many different volumes to look at, once she finished her food Aurora found a book of poetry, grabbing it she headed from the library back to her room with the book.

Reaching her room Aurora hesitated at the door as she sniffed slightly, she could smell that Michael's room was nearby, she wanted to go and ask him what he had meant by what she had been taught not being true but Aurora did not want to push her luck as she did not want to upset him. As far as she knew all alphas had a horrible temper if they were annoyed by anything, sighing softly she headed towards Michael's room.

Reaching out she knocked lightly as she kept the book of poetry pressed against her chest with her free hand, "I just...wanted to make sure there was nothing you needed me for" Aurora called through the door softly as she did not want to overstep when it came to Michael. Everything here in this pack was a huge change for her and Aurora knew it would take a long time for her to break old habits when it came to knowing what an omega could and could not do.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Aurora would be able to hear some shuffling, before the door was opened and his gaze fell on her frame. He realized that what she had learned would take a bit to unravel and he honestly didn’t mind taking his time to help her through it. “No, I’m alright here. If I did need you for something, I’d ask you directly,” he says with a low tone, but his tone didn’t seem malicious in any way.

He glanced to the book in her hand and tilted his head slightly, “I haven’t read that one yet..” he began and gave a curious glance to her face. “Tell me how it is,” he says to her now, surprised she liked similar books that he liked. He then shifted and was about to retreat back into his room. “You’re fine, Aurora, go and relax in your room,” he gently commanded her to do now. He could tell how nervous she was. But he wouldn’t be easily upset as one would think. He didn’t care if she came and ‘bothered’ him. He actually wouldn’t mind her company, but he figured he would give her some time to settle in.

 

[Mysti]

Aurora looked up at Michael when he opened the door, when he said that if he needed something from her he would ask which she gave a small nod of her head too. Looking down at the book pressed against her chest for a moment before she looked back at him she frowned a little when he told her to tell him how it was once she finished reading it, "Uh, sure" she said sounding a little confused. Aurora was amazed that she had managed to pick up the one book that Michael hadn't read, even though the library was filled with tons of books she was sure he had read a good handful of them.

Seeing him move to step back into his room Aurora moved herself taking a small step backwards but stopped her movement until he commanded her to go back to her room and relax, "Alright...um, goodnight" Aurora said with a small frown. Turning away from him she headed back to her room with a small shake of her head, once she was back in her room she closed the door behind herself before she settled into the bed and began to read the book. After a few hours of reading Aurora placed it on the bedside table and took off the bathrobe she still hand on as she settled into the bed under the blankets comfortably, for a while she tossed and turned as she was not used to having a bed all to herself.

Aurora was also not used to how quiet everything seemed to be in this pack, in her old pack there was always constant noise and movement. Sitting up on the bed she swung her legs over the edge and sat there for a moment before she got to her feet and started for her bedroom door not at all caring that she was contemplating walking out in the hallway completely naked, reaching the door she stopped and pressed her forehead against the door for a moment with a sigh. She wanted to walk down the hall to Michael's room and climb into bed with him just to feel comfortable enough to sleep but Aurora didn't want to press her luck by climbing into her new alphas bed.

"God I hate this" Aurora groaned to herself as she pushed off of the door and headed back to the bed, flopping down on it she huffed to herself as she stared at the ceiling. "This is going to be a long fucking night" she grumbled knowing very well she was probably going to get no sleep at all in this new pack.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

As dawn felt hours away, it soon would come through and the sun would hit on her face. Her room had the perfect view of the sunrise, and it shone brilliantly. Soon, she would hear a knock on her door and a voice come through.

“Aurora?” Lucius’ voice could be heard. “Come and get some breakfast, and after all of us will be heading for our morning rounds and training exercises,” he tells her before he moved from the door and headed down the hall, waking the others up with his knocks on their doors. It made sense though, for a beta to make sure others were up and about.

Training session? Guess this pack wasn’t all that it seemed. It did seem that everyone was in good physical shape, even the other omegas that had caught Aurora’s eye last night. And perhaps they even went on patrols around the mansion’s territory.

Guess there was only one way to find out, and she would have to dress and head to the dining hall once more.

Upon arriving she would see Lucius talking to Michael and Michael listening intently. Words like, “further activity from the-“ and “we’ve been keeping watch-“ would reach her ears. And Michael had a dangerous look on his face, which softened the moment he noticed Aurora.

“Good morning, did you sleep alright?” He asked, figuring her answer and considering how she currently looked. He made a mental note to see if she could get some rest later on in the day.

 

[Mysti]

Aurora spent the rest of the night staring at the ceiling, as soon as she felt the sun his her face she turned her head and stared at the window for a while before her attention was drawn to the door hearing Lucius’ words. Sighing softly she rolled out of the bed and went to got herself dressed in a black crops top, tight fitting jeans and a jacket over the top. Sure she wasn’t used to training but Aurora knew how to fight, but her version of fighting was dirty. Everyone in her old pack did everything and anything they could to possibly win the fight even if it meant crippling someone else.

Heading to the dining hall she stopped as she caught snippets of the conversation between Michael and Lucius, looking at Michael when he asked her how she slept she shrugged her shoulders a little, “I didn’t sleep” Aurora said honestly. She doubted lying to him about sleeping would work as she could tell by the look on his face that he already knew how her night had been.

Glancing at the table in the room she walked over to it, hesitating slightly as she pulled the chair out that she had sat in the night before Aurora sat down and placed her hands on her lap as she looked at all of the food that was already there. Glancing at Michael slightly before she turned her attention back to the food she grabbed a few slices of nearby toast. She knew he would see her hand shaking slightly but she hoped he wouldn’t ask about it, Aurora was nervous to grab food that was there but she knew she was going to have to adapt to this new pack.

Eating a little of the toast before she turned her head and looked at Michael and Lucius she frowned at them, “What did you mean by training?” Aurora asked curiously wanting to know what exactly they trained for first thing in the morning. She had a feeling she would be expected to train as well and Aurora also knew that would probably mean taking off the jacket she wore. She just hoped that no one would question the scars on her lower back.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Michael watched as she sat down, and noticed the shaking in her hand. He narrowed his eyes slightly, giving a soft mental sigh. He hated how timid she was, and the fact that her previous alpha had treated her that way awakened a rage he would never forget.

Unfortunately for her previous alpha, Michael was already on the move to eradicate that terrible pack, and that’s what Lucius and he had been talking about. Upon hearing her question what did they mean by training, Lucius spoke up next. “Combat training, training to get fit, and training to know your pack better,” he explained.

Lucius knew the pack that she had came from never fought fair, but he was certain he and Michael were going to turn that around with her. But all the while make it known that they would bring no physical harm to her. The whole pack knew it too, they would help rehabilitate this Omega to the best of their ability.

Michael pushed his plate aside, moving to stand. His clothes consisted of black military cargo pants and boots, and a dark grey tank top. His lightly tanned skin gave way to his muscled physique and at first— one wouldn’t think for him to be that ripped, but he was, and easily dwarfed the other men in the pack- even Lucius was no match in size. His black curly locks hid his pointed ears, the ones that clearly gave way to him being a hybrid, but it wasn’t exactly a secret. It was just that Aurora wasn’t aware of it. But, she would find out soon enough.

“Lucius, make sure to show her to the training room— and make sure that she eats properly,” he says as he walked on by, heading out and leaving his Beta with Aurora, and the other pack members that had began to filter in to eat the rest of their breakfast.

Michael went and decided to go feed on some nearby prey outside of the mansion first, knowing regular food wouldn’t keep him satisfied. But like always, after draining his prey dry, it always left a bad taste in his mouth and made his stomach churn. He groaned as he leaned back and wiped his mouth. Fuck.

He knew his sister has had a difficult time keeping down blood, but poor Michael - especially out of the three brothers definitely got the worst of the hybrid gene.

He stayed there, grasping his stomach before groaning more. Soon, the food he had eaten earlier and the blood he had just ingested, all came back up. Michael- once finished wiped his mouth once more before moving to stand. He figured he would continue to stick to the synthetic blood for now.

In the meantime, Lucius had brought everyone to the training area, a little place a bit on the outskirts of the mansion- more like a huge gym, also probably magic based. While the whole pack gathered, Michael was nowhere to be found.

Aurora frowned a little as Lucius explained that it was combat training as well as fitness training and just getting to know her knew pack better, she highly doubted that they would want someone like her doing any sort of training that would require her to pair up with someone else. Looking at Michael as he stood up she couldn't help but take note of his clothes and the fact that he was rather muscled, more so than she would have guessed he was, listening to what he said to Lucius before leaving she couldn't help but roll her eyes a little when he mentioned for the other man to make sure she ate properly.

She could not remember one time in her life when she did eat properly and she doubted she was going to start now, finishing off the toast she had taken she sat back in the chair and relaxed a little, ignoring the others around her who tried to encourage her to eat more. Aurora had grown used to eating very little that the idea of eating more made her feel nauseas.

Following Lucius and the rest of the pack when everyone had finished breakfast to the training arena she looked at it amazed, she had never seen such a massive space just for training. Watching as others moved to different areas and some paired up to train Aurora turned and looked at Lucius with a small frown, "I don't think you want me training with anyone, especially not when it comes to fighting" she said seriously with a small shake of her head. Even though she knew she could fight and hold her own without fail, Aurora didn't think they would want someone to get crippled or killed because of her.

If someone fought in her old pack, even if it just started off as play fighting, it would always end bloody and even though Aurora wanted to explain that to Lucius she didn't. If he did try to get her to fight with someone, she would show him how she had kept herself alive before she had become her old alphas favorite bed companion.

Looking away from Lucius she looked back at everyone else training, she took note that those who were practicing fighting weren't trying to actually kill each other and it amazed Aurora that there were packs who didn't fight to the death. She knew that her old pack was one of the most violent packs around but she had never known other packs got along as well as this pack seemed to.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Lucius found it frustrating that Aurora wouldn’t cooperate and didn’t eat anything else but toast. He knew Michael wouldn’t be that happy to hear that, but it couldn’t be helped. He knew Aurora probably was like this due to her old pack.

Sighing, he grabbed a quarterstaff and handed it to her before grabbing his own. “You’ll be training with me— and I’m going to help you unlearn everything you have been taught,” he spoke as he maneuvered the staff with ease, swinging it around in his hands.

He began to circle Aurora, his movements liquid and fluid as water, the staff in his hands coming down and aiming to strike towards her feet, going to topple her over. As he did that, he continued with his lesson. “We fight as a unit, no one is against each other- if we’re against each other we will tear our pack down from the inside out,” his ears soon picked up the sound of someone else coming in, and it was Michael.

He came to observe and to train the younger pack members, helping them along the way, but Lucius could scent that Michael had been affected by his hunt again, and that made his beta worry- yet not enough to be distracted from the omega in front of him.

 

[Mysti]

Frowning Aurora grabbed the quarterstaff from Lucius when he handed it to her she raised a brow slightly watching as he seemed to easily move the staff in his hands. When he began to circle her she moved slightly with him making sure to keep him in her line of sight, from her experience, it was never good to have someone where she couldn't see them. "And how do you plan to do that?" she questioned when he said that he was going to help her to unlearn everything she had been taught.

Seeing the movement of his staff striking towards her feet Aurora hadn't been expecting it and so in a slightly delayed attempt to move away she stumbled slightly and landed on her butt. Making a small annoyed noise Aurora acted on instinct and swung the quarterstaff in her hands hard towards Lucius' ankles wanting to return the hit back towards him, listening as he explained that they didn't fight against each other she opened her mouth to respond but stopped when she caught Michael's scent.

Turning her head away from Lucius for a moment she looked around to take note of where Michael was, even though he was treating her gently Aurora wanted to know where he was just to be safe, turning her attention back to Lucius she got to her feet with a small groan. "Why train to fight, if none of you fight to live?" Aurora asked as she stayed holding the quarterstaff loosely in her hands only moving to swing it towards Lucius to hit his own away from her so he didn't topple her over again, sure she was no stranger to being tackled or toppled while fighting but she still didn't like it.

She didn't see the point in training if no one in this pack fought to survive, to her, it almost seemed like a waste of their time.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

As Lucius watched her go down, he saw that she gave an attempt to strike back at him. Seeing her reflexes weren’t all that impressive so far, he knew he would have to fix that- even as he casually dodged her attempt. He then looked to her face as she asked why they trained, if they didn’t fight to survive.

His quarterstaff hit Aurora’s and he slightly pushed forward to get her to move back. “Do you see anyone needing to fight to survive here?” He asked, and Aurora would have to think, it was true food was shared and no one seemed to be fighting for anything. Actually there had been an abundance of food and no one really was guarding what had been on their plate.

“Our Alpha makes sure we’re in the best physical shape, and very healthy—“ he leaned back and swayed his quarterstaff to the side. “We’re like that so no other pack can take advantage of us, especially if we’re bound to be attacked at some point,” he explained further.

They were training to stay fit, to not be weak if another pack attacked them- for whatever reason it didn’t seem like this pack had any enemies, but sure, there could be a few Aurora would probably figure out later. “Everyone in this pack has their own strengths, none of us see anyone as different.” Lucius tells her now, moving to land another strike on her, aiming for her side. “If you can understand that, we might make you a fine pack member yet,” and Lucius knew he had to refine her and make her better, whatever strategies he would take. Obviously he wouldn’t take severe methods, but more like a wolf with its pup and teaching it how to hunt, stalk, and fight.

Michael had stopped what he had been doing and was now observing Lucius and Aurora, wanting to see how well Aurora held her own in a mock fight- even if it had been with quarterstaffs, he needed to judge her reaction time- knowing that this attack that he and his beta had been planning would most likely result in their own pack being targeted in retaliation. They needed to be prepared, and Michael would see to that.

 

[Mysti]

Aurora braced herself when Lucius tried to make her move backwards determined not to let him make her fall over again she moved her feet slightly so she only stepped back a tiny bit, frowning as he spoke about how no one in the pack had to fight for food or anything and that Michael made sure that they were all fit so they could handle themselves if another pack attacked, "Do you plan to be attacked?" she questioned with a raised brow. Moving when he moved to land another strike on her, she gave an annoyed noise when his quarterstaff clipped her side, Aurora was thankful that the jacket she was wearing softened the blow but she still didn't appreciate being hit with a stick.

"I'm only a pack member because I was traded in hopes to appease your alpha and to stop him from taking over my old packs territory" Aurora pointed out to him bitterly, she doubted she would ever feel like she belonged in such a calm pack that didn't revolve around constant chaos. She wanted to tell Lucius that from what she understood so far was that no one in this new pack had ever gone to sleep wondering if they were going to wake up the next morning or not.

Aurora didn't see the point in training with the quarterstaffs, "Is training with sticks really necessary?" she asked almost bored.

"This is just stupid" Aurora grumbled to herself referring to the quarterstaff in her hands, rolling her eyes a little she quickly moved to mimic Lucius' movements, Aurora was quick to learn just by watching people. It came in handy when she started working for Michael at the club and she didn't know a damned thing about bartending but by the end of the night of her first shift she had already figured everything out by watching the other workers there, easily blocking his movements here and there Aurora hesitated seeing Michael watching her.

Aurora barely took notice of Lucius' quarterstaff landing another hit on her as she shook her head slightly before she turned her full attention back to the male in front of her even though she couldn't ignore the feeling of Michael watching, there was something about Michael that intrigued her and that frightened Aurora as she had been taught to fear alphas, not be intrigued by them.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

“No, but we can never be too careful—“ Lucius responded when she asked if they had been planning on being attacked, and he noticed how well she was able to pick up on his movements, mimicking them quite well.

Hearing what she spat out at him, he couldn’t help but laugh at her, “If anything, you being handed over gives him all the more reason to take over the territory,” which was code for, ‘he’s pissed at your alpha because of how he treated you and wants to murder him.’ But his laugh soon faded the moment she called the training stupid and he gave a snort, “If you see it that way, perhaps it’s not worth training you,” he moved and turned away from her, “We know you’re able to hold your own, considering the pack you’ve come from-“ he speaks and gives a small sigh, he looked at Michael to which Michael motioned his head up to have Lucius come over.

Lucius stepped closer to Aurora before heading over to Michael, he murmured something in a low tone, and his gaze was hard to read, “But remember this, we are not your old pack. I know it will take some time to adjust but understand that we are different and you will have to get used to it.”

With that he moved his way on over to Michael and Michael spoke something to him and made Lucius’ face darken with worry. So his suspicions were right, Michael had become sick again trying to have a diet other than regular food and synthetic blood. Michael then seemed to ask Lucius about Aurora, to which Lucius simply shook his head in response.

 

[Mysti]

"I never said I wanted to be trained" Aurora pointed out to him when he said that since she found the training stupid that he thought it wouldn't be worth training her, frowning slightly when Lucius said that he knew that she would hold her own because of the pack she came from she shook her head a little before she watched as he moved closer to her.

Turning her head slightly to keep Lucius in her line of sight an unimpressed look on her face as he spoke to her in a low tone, "I only know one way to live, there is no getting used to anything outside of that" she murmured to him honestly. Watching as he walked over to Michael she rolled her shoulders a little before she went and put the quarterstaff back from where Lucius had gotten it from, Aurora didn't care in that moment if her actions or if anything she said to Lucius upset Michael but she couldn't get her head to wrap around the idea that they were simply training for the soul idea of maybe being attacked.

Glancing over at the two men for a moment Aurora shook her head before she left the training arena, she headed back to her room and spent until early afternoon there reading some more of the book of poetry she had gotten from the library. As she read Aurora was fighting to keep her eyes open, shaking her head she got off of the bed and had a cold shower before she got dressed for work, pulling on a knee length black duster jacket over the top of a deep red form fitting crop top and ripped jeans, her look was finished off with a paid of black combat boots. Pulling her hair up into a ponytail Aurora left her room heading downstairs for the kitchen, she had listened to people coming in and out of the house that she had no doubt that there wouldn't be anyone in the dining hall.

Peeking into the dining hall she let out a sigh of relief seeing it was empty which meant she could have some peace and quiet, heading for the kitchen she quietly asked the chef that was there for a salad sandwich and a coffee, once she had them in hand Aurora head back for the dining hall and sat down at the table in the chair which had seemed to become hers. As she ate Aurora was lost in thought as she planned to head to the club early to start getting things ready for the night, normally she came in a few moments before her shift but Aurora wanted to keep herself busy until she would be able to completely pass out from exhaustion.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

They weren’t training solely because they prepared to be attacked, they also trained to keep everyone’s senses sharp, and made everyone more united as a family. If they lacked training, they wouldn’t be as strong as they currently were and to where everyone could basically hold their own in a fight and nearly come out unscathed- even the other omegas in the pack would seem like strong individuals to Aurora.

Michael had watched Aurora leave and he gave a soft sigh, watching the others in the pack resume their training and continue to get stronger. If everyone in his pack was nearly as strong as him, he wouldn’t have to worry about them at all, knowing they could hold their own without their alpha coming to their rescue.

He then excused himself from the gym, leaving Lucius to continue their daily training and patrol. Michael ended up back in his study, going over important paperwork before feeling himself become hungry again, and he knew it wasn’t just normal hunger, it was blood lust.

Unfortunately, there had been a shortage of synthetic blood recently and Michael knew he needed to resist his craving just a little longer before the next shipment came in for him and the others, knowing his pack members also relied on it, but not as much as their alpha needed it.

When the time came to finally head out to his club to see how things were doing, he stopped momentarily and looked out of the windows, noticing Aurora had already headed into work. He paused in moving, wondering if he should come in or leave Aurora for a bit— she now knew that he was the owner, and he honestly didn’t want to impact her performance at all.

So, he decided to stay at the mansion and finally retire in his room, and spend the rest of the evening in there, not coming out for dinner even though Lucius asked, but Lucius knew what was on his Alpha’s mind.

“How many bags do you have left?” He asked Michael, and Michael responded with, “not many, probably five left,” that would keep him fine through the upcoming week, but not fine enough up until next shipment.

 

[Mysti]

Aurora spent her time at work making sure that everything was perfect and she was grateful that her shift was busy which meant she didn't have to stop and think about everything that had been going on over the last few hours. When one am rolled around Aurora finally left the club before her shift had technically ended but she was struggling to keep her eyes open and she knew knew that it was time for her to crawl into bed and actually pass out, she doubted she would get a proper rest even though she was exhausted but she was going to try to at least get a couple of hours in.

Walking back to the mansion she stopped when she reached the front door, she knew she could turn around and walk away but she had no doubt that either Michael or Lucius would find her and probably bring her back as the two of them seemed to be very intent on getting her to fit in with the pack, shaking her head a little she reached out and opened the door. Walking inside she closed the door behind herself and headed upstairs to her bedroom, she was glad that the mansion was dark and quiet telling her that everyone was either asleep or just staying in their rooms.

Reaching her bedroom Aurora opened the door as she pulled off her jacket and tossed it inside as she glanced down the hall to Michael's room, shaking her head she walked into her room to go and have a shower and clean the smell of the club off of her skin. Grabbing her bathrobe Aurora pulled it on before she walked out of her room and headed for Michael's, she wasn't going to ask him if he needed anything, she was going to ask him if she could stay in his bed so that she could get some actual sleep.

Reaching out she knocked lightly on his door, "Michael?" Aurora called very softly through the door so that she wouldn't disturb anyone else around, "I-I need to ask you something" she added nervously keeping her voice soft.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

It took a moment, but Michael answered the door- he was dressed in black pajama pants and nothing else. His chest and torso were nicely toned and he was leaner than expected— but his chest, if she looked closer was covered with scars. Some deeper than most, and Michael honestly didn’t know what to say if she did asked. These mostly were due to him fighting his way to the top once he came to this city, as it was unforgiving for hybrids to live here.

He looked down, honestly surprised that Aurora was there. At her question though, he tilted his head. “You may speak freely,” he tells her, waiting for her to ask something, but he could figure she may ask to sleep in his bed. As it had been noted by him on how her previous alpha had treated her and any other female in the pack. Michael hated that she had just been treated as some object, and his heart twisted in pain ever so slightly. How could a man treat this beautiful woman before him like she was just a play thing?

 

[Mysti]

Taking in his appearance Aurora slowly ran her eyes up from his pajama pants, her eyes stopped on his chest his a moment before she continued to look up to his face, when he said that she could speak freely she bit her bottom lip and rolled it between her teeth a little nervously. "Could I...Could I sleep in here, with you?" Aurora asked softly as she dropped her eyes from his face and looked down at the ground, if he was going to say no she didn't want to look at his face while he did it, "If you'd rather I didn't, that's fine" she added nervously as she shuffled her feet a little.

She wasn't used to seeing a male wear anything to bed so it seemed a little odd to her that Michael was wearing pajama pants but she didn't question it, it wasn't her place to ask questions. Her old pack kept the more traditional belief that inside the pack house, clothes weren't needed, if someone did come into the pack house wearing clothes and they didn't take them off quick enough her old alpha would rip the clothes off of them. Aurora knew that other werewolves enjoyed being with their packs but she never had.

"I'm just not used to sleeping alone" Aurora whispered as she kept her gaze locked on the floor, she hoped that he wouldn't turn her away and send her back to her room if he did she didn't know what she was going to do.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Listening to her words and watching her nervous demeanor, he gave a soft sigh, before stepping away from the door. “Sure thing, that is, if it will help you sleep,” he says now, soon stepping over to the bed and turning down the unused side. The bed was huge, and there would easily be enough space in between the two if she so wished.

He sat on the edge of the bed and moved to grab some water on his nightstand, sipping it slowly. He knew she would have a lot of things to unlearn, but he didn’t mind waiting and helping her unlearn what she had been taught.

As for what she was thinking on pack nudity, he honestly hadn’t minded too much, to a point. Because here, in his pack there were traditionalists that mated for life, like himself and knew they wouldn’t like seeing their mate like that around the other pack members.

Setting the glass down he moved and got into his side of the bed, and moved to move the blankets over his body, wondering what she would think of his bed. It would be incredibly soft, warm and comfortable to her.

 

[Mysti]

Aurora kept her eyes on the floor until she saw him step away when he said that she could, glancing up at him she carefully stepped into his room, she couldn't help but feel very nervous about being in his room with him. Raising her head enough to watch as he moved over to the bed and turned down the unused side, Aurora waited until he had moved to his die of the bed had laid down before, closing the door behind herself Aurora moved over to the bed. Taking off the bathrobe she laid it down on the foot of the bed before she climbed in under the blankets not caring what Michael would think of her getting into his bed completely naked, "Thank you" she said softly as she got comfortable in the bed pulling the blankets over herself a little.

Moving onto her side so her back was to Michael she sighed softly as her eyes fluttered closed, she had never been in a more comfortable bed before and she wanted to stay there as long as Michael would allow her, in that moment Aurora didn't care if Michael took note of her lower back and all of the scars there because she felt incredibly safe that nothing seemed to matter to her in that moment.

"Move closer?" Aurora asked softly her words a little mumbled as she was starting to fall asleep, she wanted to go to sleep with the feeling of him pressed against her back.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Michael turned the light of his lamp off the moment she got comfortable into the bed, not really noticing her being fully nude in this moment for he hadn’t caught it. Once at her ‘thank you’ he gave a soft ‘mm’ in reply and laid down, turning his own back against her for the time being.

When she asked him to move closer, he was confused, turning over and looking to her backside, his trained eyes to see in the dark couldn’t help but notice what her scars looked like. He wanted to reach out and touch them gently, but refrained from doing so. “Closer?” He asked, wondering what she exactly meant. He then shifted over to her, his chest pressing up against her back, his breath slowly steadying out.

Her scent was enticing him like crazy but he shut his eyes and ignored it. He wasn’t going to do anything she didn’t ask of him to. If anything, he actually wanted to get to know the woman in front of him before anything else took place. But given Aurora’s past pack..he wouldn’t put it past her if she didn’t attempt to sleep with him now, yet he would politely turn her down, for the time being.

 

[Mysti]

Aurora gave a small nod of her head when Michael spoke, she wanted him as close to her as possible, feeling his chest press against her back she sighed softly and her body seemed to relax even more into the bed. Her old alpha had always made sure that Aurora was basically trapped under one of his arms so that she couldn't get out of the bed without him noticing so it didn't feel right when she slept without the feeling of someone holding her in place.

Moving on the bed Aurora rolled over so she was facing Michael, pressing against him she tucked the top of her head under his chin as her forehead rested lightly against his neck, pressed against him how she was allowed Aurora to breath in his scent which told her she was completely and utterly safe allowed her to fall asleep finally.

Aurora managed to sleep peacefully against Michael, not once did she wake up in the night, it wasn't until the soft sounds of people starting to moved about in the house did Aurora began to stir, opening her eyes slowly she blinked sleepily as she moved a little pushing her hands against Michael's chest as she moved backwards in the bed a little putting a tiny bit of space between the two of them as she yawned. Keeping her hands against his chest Aurora frowned softly seeing the scars on Michael's chest and without thinking about it she began to gently trace her fingers over them as if she was trying to remember where all of his scars were on skin.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Michael was utterly speechless the moment she turned and tucked in underneath him. He then closed his eyes and tried to rest. But her scent- he couldn’t get it out of his head, and with her being so close..

Somehow, her scent calmed him and made him relax. He figured he was comforted by her scent in some way, but he couldn’t exactly pin point out why. Why did this embrace feel so familiar to him? And why did Aurora feel so familiar?
Obviously he had known her before, back in the club that he owned, but it wasn’t that.. this was something more, for whatever reason.

When he woke, he felt Aurora push him back a bit and he stirred further, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. “Mm..Aurora?” He called for her name, blinking away the tiredness, he noted she was tracing the scars on his chest. He figured she was curious about them and if she looked up she would see his pointed ears sticking out of his bed head.

“Hybrids aren’t welcomed by anyone in this city,” he said lowly, figuring she would probably already guess it. “I learned that the hard way, unfortunately.” And with no steady blood supply to heal him, his body had scarred over the wounds he had received.
