Love settled quickly keeping himself low as he could, I gave a quick gruff purr. “Delta Angel, how much affection do you show towards Omega Love?”
“A lot!” Love answered quickly almost snapping. “He gives me gentle pats and runs his hands through my hair! He doesn’t complain about the food I make and...”
“I’ve often noticed that he doesn’t like fighting or anything to do with fighting, he’s squeamish around blood. The only way to calm him down is to pet him or hug him,” Dr. Sparrow for just a moment narrowed his eyes and wrote down something. “He doesn’t like crowds, he likes nice smelling candles, he often reads even mouthing the words on the page when he’s lost in the book.”
“Omega Love, how much affection do you show Delta Angel?” Dr. Sparrow asked as soon as I stopped talking. Love was about to answer but no words came out, the only thing that Love does for me is...
“His scent is calming after a long day of training, the food he brings with him on his weekly visits is tasty. Hearing him talk about his week is almost like a lullaby.” I said and waited for Love to finish what I had started. He remained quiet. Justice growled ‘I told you not to trust him. They only want one thing, to dominate. You are stronger than this, Pup. Don’t. Let. Him. Win.’
“Omega Love, even though he’s of Higher Rank, he’s still a child. He was practically tossed out of his loving home with his parents to a battle field at an early age. Now from that battle field to a war zone again at such an early age. That is not an environment for him to grow up in without a few scars. Yet he’s here, showing those scars proudly before you and you don’t seem to notice. He may act mature for an 11 year old Omega-Born but don’t forget how that came to be.”
It felt like I couldn’t look at either of them now, like there was a knife in my heart twisting. It was almost scary with how much these wolves knew from just a few hours with me. Have I really been giving that much information about myself away? Looking at the wall I can’t show them any more. I can’t let my emotions run me. I’m doing this for the safety of my Pack. To make sure that they have no worries outside of the Den. No one will ever care about me, my only duty is to help the Pack.
“Delta Angel no ordinary Omega-Born or Alpha. He needs Affections, Reassurance and a Purpose. So far Omega Love only your needs were met, by an inexperienced Alpha. I acknowledge your efforts Delta Angel, you’ve put Omega Love first, you’ve given him affection, you are the one that’s there for him, offer him protection.” Dr. Sparrow was reading off of his clipboard and it felt like a weight had been lifted off me that someone else had known my efforts.
“Of course, why wouldn’t I protect my Pack?” I said trying to brush off the fuzziness that was trying to enter my heart.
“That fight told me many things about your relationship with each other. By the way Delta Angel, how is that bite on your shoulder? It must be stinging by now,” Dr. Sparrow said and I understood why he knew so much about Delta’s. He was a Delta Medic that went to school for medicine.
“Negative, they did not break through the-”
“That armor can only do so much for you right now, you must have gotten a nasty bruise by now. Delta Angel how long have you been hiding your wounds? Since the Rouge Attack I’m guessing. Delta Training is a lot more brutal since you can’t keep the armor on, then again during Delta Training you are being taught to kill. If I had not stepped in Delta Angel would those wolves still be breathing?”
“No they would not, Sir,” I said lowering my head a bit, I wasn’t allowed to kill anyone yet until I’ve joined a Stick.
“Omega Love, the Sun and Moon do not rise together but still work together to create a beautiful world. The Moon has been up for far too long don’t you think?” Dr. Sparrow asked indicating that I’ve been working too hard on the relationship that I didn’t even want.
I was broken from my thoughts at the sense of Love’s mental distress, I was going to calm him down but Dr. Sparrow held up a hand to stop me. He was of Higher Rank than me so I can’t go against his orders. I tried my best to not purr reassuringly and found that it was easier than I thought.
It seems I’m allowed to ignore the call to sooth. Now that I’m thinking about it, has he ever really tried to soothe me? Justice growled, ‘All Alpha’s are the same!’
“Now that I have an understanding of the Relationship, Delta Angel works too hard for something that might never be made in stone. While Omega Love treats it like water that doesn’t stop flowing and only pushes others aside. In my opinion this Relationship will not continue. But seeing as Delta Angel doesn’t want any distractions during Training this is the ideal Relationship. If it develops into something more in 2 to 4 years we shall discuss the Season.”
“He’s too young to learn about it,” Omega Love objected. I looked over to him strangely, it seems he only sees me as a child. I looked over at Dr. Sparrow wondering if I should tell him what I know or not. Dr. Sparrow shook his head ‘No’ and let Love rant of how young I am.
“Since you two had only scented each other with no Marks visible, it’s only right to assume that Omega Love is patient. Delta Angel,” Dr. Sparrow cut in before Love could regain his breath again. “I’ve been told of your immunity to Pheromone’s, it’s not impossible to become immune to it but you still need to be careful of who you allow to slip through. Your immunity could also be tied to Tasting before your Season or it could be that you are used to it, having trained with Alpha’s I wouldn’t be surprised.”
“So he’s not completely immune to it,” Love said and Dr. Sparrow narrowed his eyes at him then looked at me. I guess Love is someone to be careful around, just as well I need time away from him. I gave a small nod and Dr. Sparrow looked relieved.
“I’ve heard there was an Omega in the Alpha Den,” I said changing the topic before Love could get defensive, “She’s working as a Trainer for the Female Alpha’s.”
“Yes, Omega Young. She’s respected there but not as much as you, Delta Angel. She worked hard just so that she can be listened to and couldn’t go much further. All of the Alpha’s she has trained has always scored top marks and received high praise by the Alpha. I would suggest meeting her afterwards,” Dr. Sparrow said.
“I’ll do that the next time I’m up here, I have other places that I want to visit before heading back down. About my first Season-”
“No-”
“Your First Season will be difficult, it is not recommended for you two to see each other until it has passed a few times. Preferably a year after the First,” Dr. Sparrow cut in. “The Heat Valley will allow you to have your Mate’s scent to be passed between you both. But since we don’t know how well that will go or how you will react for the First Season, we won’t be doing that.”
“Could it also be because he’s older than me?” I asked and Dr. Sparrow only nodded, it seems that he’s trying to draw a clear line that must not be crossed. With how much he distrusts Love so much, I don’t mind. I heard Love shift in his seat and growl, he wasn’t comfortable here but not uncomfortable enough to ask to leave.
“Delta Angel, I know it’s difficult but please refrain from trying to comfort Omega Love,” Dr. Sparrow said, I didn’t notice that I was even purring. “It would be nice to be comforted once in a while without being growled at constantly. Delta Angel needs rest and constantly trying to gain attention this way will wear him out to the point that he will no longer want you, Omega Love.”
It’s scary how well he knows me already.
“I’m surprised that you seek comfort Omega Love, when your Alpha is clearly hurt and tired. It also seems that he doesn’t even want to trust you with his feelings and just hoped that you’ll notice. What is Delta Angel telling you right now?” Dr. Sparrow rose his voice.
“I-I...” Love turned to me for help but not wanting to upset our Doctor anymore I gave no hints other than what I was already showing. It felt refreshing not having to comfort Love so much, so much so that I felt a weight lift and the need to cry. I smelled something sweet and calming and glanced at Dr. Sparrow. He wasn’t doing it to gain favors so I allowed his scent to calm me down and keep me grounded.
“Nothing?” Dr. Sparrow asked, I could tell he wanted to growl but kept himself composed enough to keep me calm. “I’m sure Delta Angel can tell what you are feeling without even glancing at you. But with it comes to him you have no idea? I know for a fact that Delta Angel doesn’t want this Relationship yet he’s the one putting in all the effort. Where as you want this to work but won’t even try to understand your Mate? What’s worse is that I’m waiting for YOU to tell me to look at Delta Angel’s wound!”
“Dr. Sparrow-” I tried to cut in hoping to keep the two from fighting.
“No!” Dr. Sparrow growled finally, then calmed down as I attempted to calm him down with my purr that I’m now starting to hate so much. Dr. Sparrow sighed, “I know you are only doing this because of him.”
Dr. Sparrow glared at Love now and just as the doctor predicted I know exactly what Love was thinking. I stopped purring, not letting either of them know that it will be my last one. “It is stating to sting now...”
“Delta Angel, in a Relationship the Omega has first say of the well being of their Alpha. If you want me to look at you then I’ll need to hear it from the Omega in the Relationship.” Dr. Sparrow pointedly looked at the said ‘Omega’ and patiently waited. Love was uncomfortable and said nothing.
I see.
This was just a convenience just as much as it was for me.
Out of frustration I gave a deep growl, “Should I make the wound bigger? Maybe then it will be serious enough to be looked at?”
I took out my Delta’s Survival knife and held it close to where my hand was. I was holding my side where I got bit to keep it from stinging further or at least dull the area so it wasn’t painful. Dr. Sparrow had stood up to try and stop me from injuring myself and Love had both his hands on mine with the knife. “Dr. Sparrow it’s clear that he won’t ask, I can hold out until I get back to my room so I can patch myself up.”
“Did... did you always treat your wounds?” Love held my hand tightly as he asked concern in his voice.
“I get treated after a wound gets inflicted but nothing once Training is over. I’m on my own for that,” I said gently taking his hands off the knife and holstering it. I decided that if I’m going to be taken seriously then he needs to see what has been going on.
Standing I took off my shirt to reveal multiple scars across my body, some from knifes, bites, claws and whatever else that was used and leaves a scar. “I haven’t really looked at them after they stopped bleeding. So these ones on my arms are new, same with the ones on my sides. I think I did pretty good protecting my stomach this month only two bite marks.”
“Bruise, gash, slow healing, possible scarring,” Dr. Sparrow noted off from his chair. It seemed those wolves from earlier did more damage than I thought. “Ointment, possible antibiotics. Omega Love, out of your stubbornness you have caused more pain than needed for your Mate.”
“It’ll heal in a few days-”
“Delta Angel! You need more than a few days! I’m telling Delta Christopher about you resting longer after injuries.” Dr. Sparrow growled “Omega Love, I understand that you were born Alpha. But if you want to be an Omega then you should start acting like one! Omega’s look after their Alpha’s health, they make sure their Alpha’s are strong! You are intentionally weakening your Alpha!”
“I-”
“Apologizing won’t cut it this time! You are the Omega! You hold your Alpha’s life in your paws! If Delta Angel is important to you then act like he is! He’s your protector! He’s your provider! He’s your friend! Shouldn’t you look after him when the battle is over? He’s an Alpha! He’s not going to tell you he’s hurt! You have to be his voice!”
“Silv-”
“Nothing you do now will gain back his trust! He was relying on you and you failed! When he mentioned his side, he was testing you to see how much he could trust you! Your silence told him everything he needed to know right then and there! He’ll never trust you again! He’ll never tell you anything! You won’t even get the comfort you once had!”
Love quietly asked if Dr. Sparrow could look at me, not meeting my eyes. Dr. Sparrow quickly ran to me and started checking me over and the old wounds he took note of. Dr. Sparrow mentioned that it will take more then this for trust to be built back up. As an Omega-Born I can choose when that will happen, I’m starting to plan that I’ll never trust Love enough to be around me again.
