‘Don’t rely on him,’ Justice growled as I was starting to get lost in search of his scent. Opening my eyes I sighed, Justice was right. I can’t rely on other’s for help, if I needed it then what was the point of becoming strong?

But just a bit longer.

I can indulge myself just a bit of comfort and safety that is being provided for just a moment. I’m suppose to show that I’m giving him a chance.

Pulling away I told him of what I felt of the recent days, they weren’t true of course but how am I suppose to tell this guy of my recent injuries and constant struggles. The moments where I felt happy were very few and far between. Love might just feel that I’m starting to open up and talk more but really I’m just keeping the violence from him.

After I was done talking he told me about his day then gave me updates on my Pack. That was what I paid attention to the most. Once he was finished I gave him instructions on how the Pack can deal with it. Then once all that was done we started talking about random things, things that helped us get to know each other. I’ve kept myself hidden and only gave him what he wants.

I know we won’t be mates in the end.

It’s forbidden.

My focus is the Pack and the Pack alone.

The year had come and went during my Delta Training, going up once a Month was a relief and only getting updates from Love was a difficult journey. I wasn’t sure what Love was saying but it seems that important things can not be discussed with him. They only sent me minor things while I deal with the major ones in person.

For the most part the Pack looks to be back to normal. The Hunting Party was back to its regular schedule and my Alpha’s were back to regular Training. The Challenges towards me after the first two months were ceased and no one wanted to Challenge me again. The thought of going up against two wolves also made the Challenges stop for my Beta’s.

I hoped for this so that we can still be at peace. Although the Alpha Den needs a new Alpha and so far the only ones keeping it together were my Beta’s. I might pass the Alpha Den to them if I don’t find anyone after this year is up.

It was also a little different Up Top, not because I’ll forever be wearing sunglasses when I come out but it just felt different. I’ve picked up a few things here and there that the light often hides and when it’s bright enough it will be revealed. My hearing was also past a normal wolf’s.

I can also tell who was weak by a single look, after going up against stronger opponents for a year I’m sure I would break something on these Top Side wolves. Maybe avoid them a bit more, wouldn’t want to hurt any one right now.

The training also included learning different languages and cultures. Delta’s leave the Pack often and it is best if the Delta’s knows how to speak and behave around different people. So far my specialty is animal tongues and their way of life. I find it fascinating but I’m still forced to learn about other creatures.

I left the human things to the others.

The year wasn’t without it’s teasing, the Delta’s and Medics often tease me about Love. Some even talking about the... the process of... that. I was even told about how I work during the... Season.

Since I shouldn’t worry about that for a few years I’ll focus on my part- Pack... yes. Pack. The Pack needs to be protected.

My friends had settled in the Alpha Den and it’s new rules and it seems like they are thriving. I have yet to find a good Alpha for the Alpha Den and it really looks as if either Alpha Flag or Alpha Knox will take it over. I need to talk to them about this and get the Alpha’s opinions on who they want as the next Alpha.

The Rouge’s weren’t heard from and with the return of our game I assumed that they had moved along or the Delta’s had taken care of it.

They had told me about the recent visits from the Omega-Born’s.

Just like everyone else I was worried.

But they were treated with respect as they learned how to defend themselves. The Coach had convinced the Alpha and the Omega Instructors that it was needed for the safety of the Pack.

I’m just glad that the Pack is getting stronger. I’m happy.

Even thought my Position wasn’t Challenged I’m still prepared for it. I had gained respect among the Pack members but Justice often told me that the Peace can’t be trusted. Anyone is capable of a surprise attack like the Delta’s.

I decided to walk around the Den and I heard Whispers. They weren’t kind and only proved Justice was right about the Pack. While some were talking about their frustrations or complain about small things I heard something different.

“I can’t believe that they are traveling with an Omega-Born.”

“You know a weak Omega-Born bumped into me? They were not quick enough to apologize so I set them Straight.”

“Gross! I can’t believe she would do that!”

“Good Hunt?” I was glad to hear that not all of them were about belittling Omega-Born’s and I can only hope that it will get better. But it feels as though I’m chasing after a leaf instead of a rabbit.

“And this little Alpha-Born was all like, ‘I’m not afraid of you! I’m telling Alpha and they will set your paws!’ haha! The little weakling didn’t stand a chance against me so I pushed him and told him...” I tuned out Jayden’s recent wins against the weak.

“Look at those strong Alpha’s!”

“I don’t like the way you dress. You should have put something else on, that doesn’t look good on you.”

“Slow down! Don’t get in the Alpha’s way!”

“Silver Moon!” I turned to Love’s voice in time for him to hug me and quickly let go. He greeted the others that had tagged along and started dragging me away. They went on to teasing me about it but I was just glad to be away from them. It felt as if they weren’t true to who they were.

We walked together for a bit but Love always tried to lead to where we were going. I didn’t mind but I was still doing my rounds and trying to get in as much sun as the skylight above us would allow. After I decided that I’ve had enough I allowed for Love to lead us.

He went straight to his place.

I can guess what the wolves were thinking but this wasn’t the first time I’ve visited him. I could also guess that the others were confused that an Omega-Born was leading. I didn’t mind being the Alpha of the Relationship.

After all this is what Love wanted.

To be treated like an Omega-Born. Although I can’t use Pheromones like the Alpha-Born’s but I can at least make sure that my Omega is safe and protected.

Glancing around to make sure that we were safe I started watching where my Omega stepped and the wolves around us. We reached his door and I kept a watch out while he unlocked it and stepped in.

I sat down on his soft pink couch while he prepared the water for the tea and took out some cake that he had made. I haven’t touched sweets since becoming a Delta and when I do it was only from Love when he brings it.

Aside from the tea we got into a comfortable silence with a few comments every now and then asking about what was running through our minds. Love got tired of hearing me say that I wanted to do push-ups or sit-ups and started talking of his day teaching.

I sipped the tea that he had made and ran my hand through his hair as he rested his head in my lap. A few moments of silence before he remembered that he was talking always made me smile.

I heard the steps before I heard the knock and knew who it was. Medic Ryan.

Love groaned as he rolled off the couch dramatically and walked to the door. I took a few bites of the cake and finished my tea.

“Alpha Angel, Omega Love,” Medic Ryan said and I knew that he didn’t like Love one bit and since he was a Delta he hid it well. I gave a warning growl for him to mind his manners while in front of Love. “You two are to report to the Pack Doctor for an evaluation.”

“Thank you, Delta Medic Ryan,” I called after him. I was used to the way he spoke and how he addresses some wolves. He was still in Training so I got a whiff of him every now and then when he was treating our wounds.

“Why?” Love asked Ryan but he was long gone already and turned to me for an answer. “Silver Moon? Is something wrong?”

“No, nothing wrong. We’ve Scent Claimed each other for a year now and it’s customary for Delta’s and their Mates to be checked after being together for some time. It’s mainly to check if we are still compatible and that we are working through the Relationship. And... other things.”
