OoOoOo

She'd decided she as going to be his mate, the first day they met in Kindergarten. She even told him so. As young kids so often did, she blurted out what she was thinking to the blonde-haired alpha boy who had shared his fruit snacks with her.

Because Amelia adored him instantly for giving her the strawberry one. Strawberries were her favorite!

The little Alpha, whose family had recently moved from Finland to the United States, at first did not even understand what the Omega girl was really saying. Only that she clung to his hand tightly and chattered endlessly. But she smiled a bunch around him, and that was nice.

However, he did catch her name, as she grinned at him with such a happy sort of relief.

"I'm Amelia." She proclaimed proudly as the teacher gathered them to return for finger paints and more songs. "And we are gonna get married."

Tino could only stare at the Omega that followed him to the his mat, instead of sitting at her own. The one that dragged a chair over from her table, to sit at his during craft time. The same little girl that chattered with him, and laughed the whole rest of the day while nearly sticking to his side permanently.

It was his mother, when she came to pick Tino up from the first day of school, that giggled as Amelia introduced herself proudly.

"I'm Amelia Jones! I'm five and I like Aliens."

Though slightly baffled by the slightly odd introduction, the blonde woman smiled kindly. She was a Beta, and understood clearly that the child before her was an Omega. How... adorable! Tino's mother suppressed a grin, but could not hold back a loud guffaw when the Omega child slung her arms around Tino's neck with a happy cry.

"I'm gonna be his mate!" She declared with all the wonderful certainty of a small child. So openly innocent and honest.

"Are you?" His mother questioned with mirth clear in her words.

"Of course. He's really nice!"

His mother smiled then, showing just how amused she was by the frank statement.

"I am glad you think so."

The blue-eyed Alpha boy, blinked. He glanced between his mother and Amelia, who was talking so quickly about things he didn't quite understand. He turned a questioning gaze to his mother.

"She says she wants to be your mate." His mother translated for him, since he was not quite as proficient in English as the rest of the family, due to his age.

"Why?" He asked, clearly curious.

"Because she likes you. Don't worry sweetheart," His mother said patiently, "little ones like you and her get like this sometimes."

Then she laughed again as she took his hand. A bright smile adorned Tino's features, as Amelia waved goodbye to him enthusiastically. So.. the Omega liked him. He puffed out his chest a bit and giggled.

Something flickered in the depths. Embarrassment perhaps, or even amusement. He craned his neck around to gaze at Amelia one more time, though his mother was leading him toward their car. She waited patiently for her own mother.

Whom Tino could see coming up the steps, by the way Amelia darted forward with an exuberant shout. Her little blue backpack with strange horses on it were slightly mystifying, but his gaze lingered on her.

That same something flickered in his eyes. Happiness, maybe? Or, something far more...

Covetous.

OoOoOo

That first day turned out to be a fateful one. By the end of the week, the Teacher even remarked about how adorable the little 'couple' was. Tino was a gentle Alpha boy, and he smiled only when Amelia came bursting into the room. Her blonde hair done up into pig tails or braids, depending on the day.

Then Tino, seemed content to wait for her at his table. Amelia would bound over to him the moment she saw him, a happy greeting on her lips as she nearly buzzed next to him like a honey bee. The Teacher noticed, but found nothing of concern, when Tino asked a Beta to move so that Amelia could sit with him.

Such things, why they were common for children. And, the little Beta did not seem to mind.

If Tino was seemingly protective of Amelia, well, they were friends this week and the Teacher had seen such things nearly countless times before. She paid it no mind. Tino was the sweetest little boy, and seeing him with Amelia was rather endearing.

He only got in trouble once, and that was for defending Amelia when she refused to give up a ball for another Alpha boy, because it was Tino's. So Tino had, seemingly reluctantly, gotten into a fight with the brown-eyed boy over pushing an Omega.

For her part, Amelia made certain that her mother packed two yogurt smoothie drinks in her lunch. So that she could always have one to share with Tino. For a long time, things between the pair seem like sweet child-hood innocence.

Amelia's little crush never left. As they grew, she could constantly be found at or around Tino's side. Her sunny smiles only were rivaled by his. It was something that had quickly become so common place, that when Amelia started to go into her Omega classes when she reached age ten, it was remarked as odd to see Tino without her.

The other students knew, after watching for years, that Amelia adored Tino. The Alpha boy was always close by, but it never progressed to a point where Tino had to stake even a juvenile claim over Amelia. Such things were common. Boys and girls would 'date' for maybe a few days to a week. Some even for a whole month, once they reached middle school.

But that had to be a serious commitment.

Granted, the dating was just holding hands and calling each other 'boyfriend' and 'girlfriend'.

However, for Tino and Amelia, it was slightly different. Jokingly, they called her his 'mate' or his 'wife'. The Omega seemed to soak up the titles with a sense of pride. Every summer when Tino returned to Finland to visit family, she pined after him. Though Amelia's mother recognized the obvious signs, Tino's mother seemed surprised by her son's continued friendship with the little Omega.

Amelia did enjoy talking, and Tino often just listened quietly. He was a more calm but kind Alpha, as opposed to the aggressive sort. His mother should have been pleased. Yet, she kept her eyes on the pair, wondering if she was going to eventually attend a wedding between them.

When they entered high-school, things became even more interesting.

Tino, still a sweet tempered Alpha, had Amelia by his side nearly constantly. In fact, other Alpha males and even the females had started to steer clear of the Omega. Amelia wrote it off as they knew she loved Tino, and always had. Even since they were little. Tino never said anything to the contrary.

They exchanged e-mails daily, sometimes using instant messengers of one platform or another. Whenever Tino returned to Finland for his summer visits, he still kept in contact all of the time.

Tino called her, ever summer, only once due to the cost of an international call. However, Amelia always had her phone with her, and checked it several times a day, just to be sure that she spoke to him.

As other Omegas began getting their heats, Amelia worried about the fact that she was delayed. Surely by 13 she should have gotten something! However, the pediatrician simply shook her head when Amelia expressed her concerns at her last physical. It was normal for some Omegas to be late bloomers.

Nothing was wrong with it, or her.

However, heat suppression pills were still prescribed on her behalf, for when her time finally came.

OoOoOo

By the time she was Sixteen, Amelia was officially considered a late bloomer. It also made her rather uncomfortable around all the other Omegas that were able to speak of their heats and share bonding stories about dates with their Alphas.

Some were even getting ready to follow their soon-to-be-mates to their respective colleges in a year or so.

Tino was away in Finland, delayed due to some sort of business deal his father had, when Gilbert approached Amelia outside of her last class of the day. She was wondering if he had e-mailed her yet, but she was also feeling a tad lonely without him.

That and the Betas and Alphas did not come near her when Tino wasn't around. Bunch of pissy girls and boys they were.

Gilbert smiled at her, a strange flutter started in her stomach.

"Still not mated yet, huh?" He asked with his crimson eyes raking over her body. Evaluating the Omega. The school was a hot bed for everyone wanting to know everyone else's business. Gilbert was an Alpha Amelia had seen in passing quite a few times.

He was also funny, and usually had a grin ready whenever she rounded the corner. Normally, however, he did not talk to her when Tino was around. They had spoken on several occasions, and she did like him as a person.

He also was abysmal at his English homework, which Amelia graciously helped him with through several e-mails. Amelia had told Tino about Gilbert, and he did not seem to care. It had left her feeling oddly deflated.

Wasn't he supposed to be protective over her? He had never had to do anything since they were little kids, but still. She watched all the other Alphas get into arguments about pretty Omegas on more than one occasion.

Granted, Tino never went on about another Omega. However, Amelia felt oddly unwanted when the only Alphas that came near her was Tino and Gilbert.

"Not yet. He's just being patient," Amelia said with a conviction she did not truly feel. She also had a bizarre need to explain herself to Gilbert. Tino and she had actually never really discussed it. They talked about everything else. "I haven't had a heat officially yet. So he's.. just waiting."

Yes, that had to be it. Because he didn't go after another Omega, so he had to adore her too. Right? Lately, she'd been conflicted and wondering. Tino never even took her on a date. Amelia was always going to him to hang out. Though, Tino loved it when Amelia came by. He said he did. Once.

Her statement made the other Alpha laugh.

"Come on," Gilbert commented with an amused grin. "He's an Alpha Amelia. If he wanted you as his mate, you would be mates by now."

A small nudge.

Simple words. Meant as light teasing, but they struck something in her heart. Thoughts she had pressed deep down for years upon years now. The wonderings of why he never made her his mate. Of why Tino never returned her gestures of affection the same way. Or why he never took things further between them.

Somewhere deep in her heart, she knew why. Or, she had always suspected.

He didn't want her. Not like that. Not really. They were just friends. She was only the Omega that followed him around and clung to him.

She was pathetic.

The thought made her heart hurt and her eyes sting with the urge to shed tears, but she did neither. Amelia laughed it off as the joke it was meant to be.

"Yeah...," she trailed off, "I guess you're right."

"Of course I am!" Gilbert said with a wink and a nudge. "If you wanna keep waiting. You go ahead. But if you ever get tired of going after the perpetually happy Alpha, I could be your bad boy."

Amelia appraised him, with pondering blue eyes. That strange fluttering in her stomach began again. Was this what it was like to be wanted by someone? The way he glanced at her left her feeling... strange. The other Omegas had talked to her about things like this.

Her hormones got the best of her, and Amelia spoke before she registered that she had. Gilbert had turned to leave, when her hand reached out to stop him.

"Wait! Um. Maybe you could...?"

"Could?" Gilbert asked, his eyes narrowed a fraction of an inch. His posture was every inch the Alpha he was born to be. Part of her trembled in excitement.

"Come by... sometime." Amelia continued, before she lost her nerve. "We could go get a milkshake, or something."

She flushed to the roots of her hair. Looking away as she adjusted her glasses, she noted that Gilbert reached out and tilted her chin up so that she was glance at him.

"Are you asking me out on a date, birdie?" He questioned, with a delighted but wolfish grin.

She swallowed and nodded firmly. Not entirely certain she wanted to do this, but too caught up in the moment to care. She could scarily believe she'd just done that!

"Yeah. Yeah, I guess I am." The Omega admitted, still a bit shy. Loud, but shy.

His crimson gaze widened briefly before he nodded his approval.

"Okay, give me your number." The Alpha half-demanded as he fished his cell phone out of his pocket.

OoOoOo

Tino knew something had changed, the following week, when he finally returned to school.

Amelia had not returned any of his messages, and that concerned him deeply. He was worried she was sick or hurt. He had even stopped by her house this morning to check on her.

Amelia's mother told him she had already gone to school... with Gilbert.

Tino smiled and nodded graciously as he bid the mother farewell. He climbed into his car, and drove to school. It was a miracle that he was not pulled over by the police, for the number of traffic violations he committed.

He parked his car, and nearly locked his keys in by mistake, in his haste to find Amelia.

Tino did not have to go far. He walked into the cafeteria, noting the milling couples and the few that had already mated. The different scents filled the air, heavy and saturating. He closed his eyes and inhaled.

A single scent stood out.

One he had known for the longest time. The one that he had memorized since he met her. Amelia Jones. However, when his eyes opened and he spotted her amongst the tables. His blood ran cold. Tino could only watch in horror as Gilbert leaned in and kissed her.

Not soon enough for Tino, Gilbert pulled away. He touched her hair, ruffling the golden locks as Amelia laughed happily. Her blue eyes shined behind her glasses. Gilbert and Amelia looked so sickeningly adorable together.

Tino burned at the very idea of it. Having to see it, was infinitely worse.

There was an Alpha trying to poach his Omega. Tino's eyes dulled a bit, constricting to near pin pricks against the irises, and a strange sort of smile flittered across his face. He took a deep breath and moved forward to join them. His movements could have been described as close to stalking as was humanly possible.

Gilbert glared at Tino as he approached. The blonde haired Alpha leaned over Amelia in a dominant display, that was interpreted as friendly. Tino reached out a hand to offer it to Gilbert. The other Alpha looked surprised, but all untrusting, as he took it. They shook hands, as Tino grinned at him.

"Good to see you again, Gilbert."

"Likewise," the crimson-eyed Alpha mumbled. He turned his attention toward Amelia, as she looked between the two.

"I'll see you later, okay? I have to get to class."

"Okay!" She replied happily. Her eyes watched him leave, and she sighed, half-lost in her daydreams.

"So...," Tino started, keeping the growl from his words, as he too kept his gaze on Gilbert's retreating form. "What's new?"

Her blue eyes locked with his as she looked up at him. Inadvertently exposing her throat to him. A gesture of submission. Tino swallowed heavily, his expression kept perfectly neutral.

"Glad you're back," Amelia said honestly. "I missed you."

"I missed you too," he said with a grin, calming down considerably. "What was that all about?"

"Gilbert and I are dating." She proclaimed proudly.

"Really now?" He asked with a strange purr to his words. Amelia nodded as she moved to stand. The bell rang clearly just as she stood. Tino moved to allow her room.

"Yeah," she admitted easily, "it was unexpected, but he is really nice."

She missed the way his pupils constricted again.

"Nice?"

"Totally. He makes me laugh."

"I thought you were going to be my 'wife'?" he teased as he ruffled her hair, as Gilbert had done.

Amelia laughed and nodded. "Yeah, I know, I said that ages ago. Things change."

Tino stared at her, contemplating.

"But," Amelia said with a sparkle in her gaze, "You're okay with this, right? We are still going to be best friends. You know that. You're happy for me, right?"

"Of course I am!" Tino said happily. His smile was so wide that it should have hurt his face, but his scent gave away nothing as Amelia relaxed.

"Oh thank you Tino!" She said with relief as she stood on her toes and kissed his cheek.

OoOoOo

Gilbert woke to a bright light and a horrible pain in the back of his head. He could recall nothing except going from school to work. He'd been taking out the trash, when something hit him from behind.

He opened his eyes, wincing against the pain the light caused, and the fact the movement made him want to vomit all over the floor. He tried to move, but something kept him held tight. It took him a few moments to realize that he was chained around his middle. Unable to run away.

Footsteps echoed in the otherwise darkened room. Gilbert noticed with sinking dismay that there were no windows. Why couldn't he see windows?

A familiar outline was in front of him, blocking out some of the light, and casting the figure in a bit of shadow.

"I have to say Gilbert," a cold tone floated to his ears, and made the chained Alpha pale.

"You really know how to spoil a plan." The blonde male sighed heavily.

"Tino what the hell?! What is going on? What is this? What did you just say?" Gilbert asked, with his red eyes narrowed at the venom dripping from Tino's words.

"You heard me." The other Alpha replied, not to be swayed by the open aggression. "You had to go and ruin everything. No matter. It can be dealt with."

Silence rang between them for a few heartbeats.

"Let me go, man. This is crazy?"

The face loomed closer as Tino moved forward, his eyes were terrifying to Gilbert. The sweet Alpha was nothing like this. A strange laugh echoed from Tino's lips.

"Crazy? You tried to steal my mate." The accusation might have been enough to make a lesser Alpha wet himself.

"You didn't even want Amelia!" Gilbert roared out in fury.

A firm punch to his jaw had him seeing stars, and the cold look of deathly intent in the normally cheerful Alpha's eyes said the rest.

"Not...want her?" He parroted back. His lips curled into a slow and wicked grin that exposed pointed teeth. "Whatever gave you that idea."

Gilbert felt out of his element. Afraid. Half-terrified by the transformation of the male in front of him. The one he thought he knew and had known for years now. He said nothing as the thick scent of terror filled the air.

Tino's eyes had him captivated. Hard and vacant at the same time. Slightly mad or crazed. Perhaps both.

"I have always wanted her. Always. I had planned on waiting until her first heat to claim her. I had it all planned out. Until you, little snake, came out of the grass when she was alone and vulnerable. The other Omegas had their heats at least a year ago, if not longer. Amelia is just a late bloomer though, but those sorts of blossoms are the most beautiful. Wouldn't you agree?"

Gilbert nodded slowly, and he was slapped soundly across the face for his troubles.

"How dare you look at another Alpha's mate?" Tino hissed quietly. "Did you know, she was the one that claimed me as her Alpha? Did you?!"

His words rose to a near shout as he demanded answers to questions he was not truly asking. His gaze narrowed, and the air shifted, growing all the more dangerous. Gilbert swallowed, the tangy salt of blood on his tongue.

"That was in grade school man, she told me about it."

"And you still tried-"

"You were kids!" The bound teen screamed. "It didn't mean anything! Kids say shit all the time!"

Gilbert's logic did not sway the blonde Alpha.

"You're just jealous. Because she loves me. She loves me." Tino said as he grinned maliciously, "Amelia is mine."

His words left a distinctive chill in the air, making his smile seem that much more eerie and less charming in an instant.

"I love her. I have always loved her. I love her so much... I think I might go crazy from it." He whispered, nearly conspiratorially. "And, she's always loved me. Until you came along. Frankly, I don't like that. At all."

A terrified whimper manages to wrench from trembling lips as Tino loomed closer to the widened eyes that were screaming for mercy. The silver flash of a blade was waved in front of that petrified face.

"So you are going to have to disappear, and then my sweet little Amelia, my omega, will need me to protect her. To make her feel safe after you run off with your love interest from some chat room on the web. Not to be heard from again."

"But... but I nev-"

Cold and vicious eyes watched him with malicious glee.

"Oh that's not what the police are going to think."

Then the knife came down. The wet squelching of flesh and blood were nearly music to Tino's ears as he hummed to himself, reveling in the idea that Amelia could never love anyone but him. That no one would ever take her from him again.

Beautiful.

And he had all night to enjoy it. So much to do. Gilbert was just leaving a mess everywhere.

OoOoOo

"I can't believe," the omega said with a high-pitched sob, "that he would leave me like that. I thought... I thought... he..."

"Shh," Tino said as he held Amelia close, stroking her hair and subtly sniffing her. The first spicy scents of her heat lingered on her skin. Finally. Tino was nearly beside himself with glee as she was pressed against him.

It was maybe a day or two out, perhaps? Excellent.

"I'm here for you."

"Tino," Amelia said with teary eyes, "What would I ever do without you?"

He gave her a kind smile, kissing her forehead gently. He discreetly licked his lips where she could not see, savoring the taste of her on his tongue. Soon. So very, very soon.

"You'll never have to know," he said with a warm tone in his words. "I'll be with you forever."

The Omega missed the slightly crazed look in his violet eyes, and the way he pulled her closer. All for her comfort, she was certain, as he kissed her forehead again. She felt safe in his arms. Tino had always been her friend, and he was the Alpha she wanted, but could not have.

She also did not see, the way that the other Alphas gave Tino a wide berth, detecting the possessive scent that lingered in the air. The same one that had always saturated Amelia, the one Gilbert had ignored.

A warning, as much as a promise.

To touch her, would mean trying to laugh in the face of death.

As soon as he reached of age, he'd take her back with him to Finland. Tino retained his citizenship, thanks to his parents only being the US on working visas. But by then, Amelia would already be his mate.

It was perfect. Just perfect.
