- She was my omega
Colby
The smell was something I could only describe as sweet, mixed with a hint of berry. I was overcome by the scent, unable to think of anything else. In the middle of talking with Michael, I stood up and started walking, entranced.
“Hey Colby, what are you doing?!” Michael shouted.
“I smell something. It’s–hard to focus on anything else.”
Michael grabbed my shoulder, forcing me to look around.
“You have a glazed–over look in your eyes and claim there is this sweet scent that I can’t smell.”
I blinked. “Yeah, and?”
“You found your mate.
The two of us had been finishing our shared class together, was going to head home and Michael was going to head home to his. Then I smelled that scent that was turning my mind into mush.
“There was a coming–of–age ceremony today?”
Michael suddenly went rigid,
“Yeah, just one, remember?”
“Mike, I know your sister’s was today but what was the other one?”
“No, Colby I don’t think you are quite understanding the situation right now. My sister’s scent is the one you’re smelling. She’s your mate.”
Well, shit.
I always gave Lia a lot of shit but it was all in good fun. She was always intruding on our fun when we were. growing up so Michael, me, and the rest of the guys would tease her. It had crossed the line a few times, something we always apologized for or Michael chastised us about
But to be her mate? I couldn’t believe that this was my reality. Our reality now.
“She’s gonna flip,” I muttered.
“Flip? She’ll probably try to flee not only the state but the country.
A possessive growl escaped me at the thought of Lia trying to flee. She was my omega. I’d never hurt her or allow harm to come to her, but she couldn’t leave. Having her physically away from me would hurt in ways I couldn’t even imagine.
“Let me drive you,” Michael offered, noticing how tense I was. “You offered the same to me when I matched with Gabirella after her coming–of–age ceremony so let me do the same.”
I sighed softly. “Thanks, Mike.”
The two of us were quiet in the car, each of us lost in our thoughts. I couldn’t believe that she was my mate, someone I had been searching for years now. In my mind, I could picture Lia, her long ebony locks falling down her back in waves, wide blue eyes, and rosy pink lips parted just a bit.
“Colby, your gripping door handle so tight I’m afraid you’r going to rip it off,” Michael warned. “And trust me, you’re going to have to pay for it.”

I huffed. “It’s not like I don’t have the money.
“No, it’s not like you don’t have the money but I’d rather have to avoid waiting for the repairs. I need to use my
car.”
“Shit, I left my car back at the school.”
#shit,
He shrugged. “I’ll drive you back there later so we can get Don’t worry about it.”
“Michael, thanks.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
The closer we got to the school, the more intense the smell became, I swallowed, trying my best to control myself.
A certain part of me was stirring, reacting to the sent of my future mate being so close.
“Breathe, Colby.”
“I’m breathing‘
“Your breathing harshly. Take slow, deep breaths.”
I grinned. “Hey, when have I ever been one to listen?!!
“Hey, wait is that Rain?” Michael asked suddenly,
Blinking, I saw my friend jump out of his car and bolt into the building
“Michael… you don’t think-”
“I mean, It’s possible for you to have more than one mate so it can happen.”
“But for it to me and Rain? What are the odds?”
“Strange things have happened,” Michael muttered. “Let me just park and we’ll go inside to ask him what is going on, okay?”
I nodded.
The second I stepped out of the car I felt like I was going to fall to my knees. The scent was intense now. So intense it was ready to knock me over like I had been hit by a freight train or something.
“Colby you need a minute?”
“Yeah, I think so.”
I wonder if Rain was going through the same thing. He had to be. Out of all of us, Rain was usually the first to react.
Rain
I’m sitting at home, trying to finish some of my homework Some of the guys are more academically gifted than I am, leaving me to work harder than them. It used to bother me, but I realized that this was just how it was.
Rugby came to me easily. I ate, breathed, and played rugby. From the moment I got onto the field and played my first rugby game. Nothing had ever felt so right. But academics? No, I didn’t get that same feeling.
It frustrated me, making me want to take the textbook and throw it out a damn window. Still, I feel like I am making some headway with this subject when I am hit by this sweet scent.

What the hell?
I push my chair away from the desk so fast that I nearly topple backward. The scent is overwhelming, filling my
I nostrils and making it so it’s almost like I can taste it.
“Rain, are you coming down for dinner after you finish studying?” one of my sisters calls out, knocking loudly at my door.
My mouth is open but nothing comes out. She knocks louder, the sound making my head pound.
“Rain, hello?”
“No!” I shouted, finally finding my voice. “Just tell Mom and Dad I’m not coming down. I need to study.”
But studying was the farthest thing from my mind. I could only think of following that scent and trying to discover what and who it was.
For a moment I forced myself to think logically. The scent liad to be one of an omega and the main reason I was smelling it was because of someone’s coming–of–age ceremony.
Oh no. No, no, no. It couldn’t be. The scent couldn’t belong to Lia, could it?
She was the only person who was having that ceremony today so logically it had to be her.
With a groan, I forced myself to my feet and grabbed my keys off my desk. I ignored the shouts of my family who wanted to know where I was going. They could wait. My future mate was waiting for me. She might not be happy about it but I knew she was waiting for me at the school.
Despite my urge to drive fast, I tried to follow the rules of the road. I quickly parked, nearly stumbling out of my car and into the school. An administrator was waiting, explaining to me that I would have to wait in the hallway near the nurse’s office until the medicine had run its course.
Reluctantly, I nodded and sat down in a row of chairs that had been placed in the hallway where the nurse’s office was located. Two people I did not expect to see were Colby and Michael.
“What are you guys doing here?” I blurted out.
Michael sighed. “First of all she’s my sister… and second of all, Colby smelled an omega’s scent.”
“Bro, so did I.”
Colby plopped himself down next to me and grinned. “Well it looks like we are both future mates of Lia.”
“My sister is going to flip,” Michael muttered. “One I could see her trying to deal with but two? I don’t know how she is going to handle it.”
“We’re not going to treat her badly,” I argued, even though what we had done up to now was bully her.
Michael gave us a look. “Yeah, well I know you’ll do what is right for her and if you don’t you’ll have to answer to me but I’m sure you know that.”
Sometimes, Michael did let out the protective older brother side of him. It did make go too far to bother his sister.
The minutes passed and I grew uneasy as well as impatient
“What is taking so long?” 1 snapped.
me nervous, never wanting to
Colby shrugged “She probably is recovering from the medicine. Remember how you felt after you took it?”

“Yeah, Colby has a point, Rain. Plus omegas are more sensitive to it so you have to remember that too.”
1 pouted. “Fine, I guess I’ll just have to stay out here and suffer.”
“Did you forget about me?” Colby reminded him.
“By the way Col… you seem to be handling this well.”
“I’m just wondering what this is going to mean for our future,” Colby murmured. “I mean, this is Lia we’re talking about and I’ll also be sharing a mate with one of my best friends.”
I grinned. “I think it’s good, honestly. If I am going to share a mate with anyone then I am glad it’s you.”
