BENJAMIN’S P. O. V.
What the hell? Why did she fix my hand? She could have just left it that way. I wouldn’t have noticed any difference. Sure I would have had to have it re-broken tomorrow and it would have hurt worse, but why should she care. After I treated her like shit for no other reason than the fact that she is an Omega. I head up to my bedroom and fall on the bed. It is way too early to go to bed but all I can think about is the Omega. I don’t want to sit here and obsess over her.
While she was wrapping my hand I gave her a look over. Besides the fact that she was wearing those ridiculous clothes I would think that she was attractive. She has a perfect face. Her brown hair hangs around her face just perfectly. I wanted to reach out and touch it. I haven’t felt like that with someone in a long time. Maybe I am just pent up. It can’t be her, she is just an Omega.
She surprised me twice today, first when she jumped out of mine and Peter’s grasp and earlier when she had the strength to break my hand. I didn’t think any Omega could do either of those things. She has certainly piqued my interest. I want to know what else she can do. Good thing I will be seeing a lot more of her.
There is a knock on my window. I look over, knowing it’s Peter. I get up and open it. “You know I have a door right?” I say this every time he always comes in the window.
“Too obvious. I need to do things my way. You know that.” He shrugs like it’s no big deal.
“Yeah well, don’t be too show offy, I wouldn’t be able to compete.” I joke.
He laughs. “So, I just wanted to talk to you about that Omega from earlier.”
“What about her?” Why is he talking about her? Does he know what I was just thinking about? Does he know that she was just here?
He keeps talking as he slides in the window. “She is my new lab partner, I decided that we need to not harass her so that I can get good grades. You know my dad wants my grades better. He has threatened to give the pack to my little brother if I don’t do better. The professor said that she scored the highest of all the students in a long time.”
I sigh a bit. I know relief is radiating from me. I think Peter might be a little distracted to not notice. “Yeah, she is my partner in History, and he said the same thing. I thought it was a lie at first. But she was just here and set the bone in my hand. She seemed to know what she was doing.”
“How did you break your hand?” He pointed to the wrap.
“I punched the wall. I was really pissed that she was my partner and I had to vent. It wasn’t until a little bit ago that I found out that she is actually pretty smart. You know my grades can’t slip either. You heard my father, he will pass me up for my cousin if I don’t prove myself.”
“You know I tried to flirt with her to see what she would do.” This set waves of anger through me. Why, it’s not like I care? “She turned me down flat and wouldn’t let me touch her. She definitely is not like other Omegas.”
“I think that is what makes her better.” I walk over to my bed and sit down.
“I just realized you said you saw her a little bit ago, was it at seven?” He is surveying me.
“Yeah, why?”
“She told me she had an appointment at seven that she couldn’t cancel. I guess it was with you.” He shrugs like it isn’t a big deal.
“Yeah, we were supposed to work on our history project. I guess we did a little but mainly it was just dealing with my hand.” I wave it at him.
“Ha, she is funny. You know I was joking with her and I told her to wear something sexy to our study session. Well, you saw what she wore.” Peter is laughing so hard. I couldn’t help but laugh too. No wonder she was wearing those crap clothes.
“So what time do you see her?” I wanted to know secretly when I could get a peek at her. I could be having a look outside at that time and make it look like I don’t even see her.
“Five and five. I convinced her that I needed someone to run with me in the morning.” He smirked, “I just want to see how strong she is.”
“I’ll join you guys. I want to see it too. I mean she broke my hand today and that jump, did you ever think you would see an Omega do that?” I got a little bit more excited at the prospect of seeing her in the morning than I should have. Peter is going to start getting concerned about where this is going.
“Sure the more the merrier. I am not sure she will be happy about it, but I’m sure she will make a fuss no matter what.” Peter laughed. He sat on my floor, making himself comfortable. “She is a firecracker. What pack is she from do you know?”
“No, I guess I will find out tomorrow. She is supposed to do a pack perspective piece from history.” I lay down on the bed and get comfortable too, knowing he isn’t going anywhere soon. Also he wants to talk about the one thing that I wanted to try to avoid. I can’t be thinking about her in the way that I am. She is an Omega, I can’t think about touching her and the feel of her hands on me.
“She is pretty hot, huh?” Just what I was trying to avoid talking about.
“Yeah, you know we aren’t supposed to think those things about Omegas right.”
“Oh, that is old school. It is about time that Omegas got a better rap. After all, they are part of the pack too.” He acts like it’s no big deal. That is until his father finds out.
“I am really surprised to hear you say that after this morning.” I look over at him and try to determine if he is serious or not.
“Well, I thought about it. I think I was just reacting to the others around us. I mean they were freaking out because an Omega was in school. It is not like she is the only one, there are a couple of others. I saw her in class today answering questions correctly that others didn’t even have a clue. She is no dummy. She earned her right to be there regardless of what they have to say.” Peter shrugged and continued. “At first I thought maybe she was like the rest. I took her phone out of her back pocket, slowly you know to let my hand linger a bit. She just stood there. I thought well, there you go she just wants to get in my pants because I’m an Alpha. Then when she was at my house she pushed me away. I had her on my bed and she shot me down. She must have been shocked the first time I touched her.”
My anger flared, he was touching her ass. What the hell? Why would that be the first thing that he does? Or maybe I was just mad that I hadn’t thought about it first. “Why did you do that? What if she really was like that? Would you really have taken her to bed?” I tried to not let my anger show through. I think I failed.
“Relax bro. I just wanted to see what she would do. Besides, she is hot. I think I would have enjoyed myself. What do you think? Don’t tell me you haven’t thought of bedding her. I can see it on your face. I have known you since you were born. There is no way to lie to me.” Peter smiled at me.
“Yeah, I guess I have. Actually I was thinking about it before you came in.” I knew I couldn’t keep it from him.
“See, she’s hot.” Peter shoots me a knowing look, almost like I told you so.
“Yeah, well, we can’t get too attached, what if she has a Mate?” I am trying to think of a reason why I need to keep it in my pants. There has to be something.
“I know I kind of brought it up to her just to kind of see and she didn’t really seem too thrilled about the thought. I didn’t really ask her if she had a mate, so I’m not really sure what she meant.” He is looking up at the ceiling like somehow the answer is on the roof.
“Not only that but what would our fathers say if we picked an Omega as our chosen mate?”
“I think my father would just have a heart attack and die then I wouldn’t have to worry about it.” Peter laughed at the thought. “You’re right though. Plus I don’t think she is the type of girl to just be a side piece. She’s an all or nothing kind of girl.”
I look over at the clock, nine. “I think we should call it a night if we are meeting her at five. You know neither of us are morning people.”
“I don’t think she is either. Plus no matter what pack she lives in she would have to drive for at least thirty minutes to get here so she would have to wake up even earlier. She is going to be tired. Maybe that will slow down her sass.” Peter laughs and heads to the window.
“Dude, door.” I point to the bedroom door.
“Overrated. See you in the morning.” Peter jumps out the window.
I groan and lay my head down. All my thoughts are of her. What if she is a witch and that is how she can do this to me. She is just an Omega, nothing special. Then why can’t I stop picturing her lips on mine? Why am I still angry at Peter for touching her ass? Why do I wish it was me?
