Author's Note: Hello! Just a small note. I changed this story's title from "The Queen's Omega" to "Alpha, Mayor, Saviour" since I honestly didn't know that there's already a SQ fic with the same title with the same a/b/o dynamics theme that's why I changed the title for no more further confusion. Thanks for that reviewer for pointing that out since I really have no idea about that fic and thanks to that other guest reviewer for defending my honor. Also, thank you for my friends in the SwanQueen Fanfiction group on Facebook for the encouragement and support! Love ya, guys!
And most importantly, a huge thankies to BlueHoneyBee for suggesting the new title! Actually she gave me two story title suggestions but I fell in love with this one so that's what I'm using from now on. Love you, Bee! This one's for you! xoxo
Anyways! I have no beta and English is not my native tongue so all mistakes (wrong spelling, grammatical errors, and sentences that doesn't make any sense) are mine. And thank you for those who already reviewed and kudos'd my fic when I first posted this! It means a great deal to me. So THANK YOU!!!
Happy reading!

Emma Swan kept on massaging her sore neck whilst keeping her eyes on the road. When she found what she was looking for she was relieved to see her parents waiting for her. She hasn't even parked her car properly when her parents walked down the path towards her car. She just plucked out her keys from the ignition when the door on the driver's side suddenly opened and her parents engulf her in a tight hug, one that she greatly responded. The calming scents of their pheromones calming her instantly.
"Mom. Dad," she cried. The pent up frustration and the exhaustion from the long trip taking its toll on her.
"Shh. It's okay, Princess. You're home now," her father, David, calmly said then pulled her against his strong body. Mary Margaret kept caressing her back then kissed the crown of her head.
Basked in the calming scents of her parents, Emma just felt herself being lifted up from where she was standing. Feeling her eyelids giving up she let her father carry her into their home. Not a minute later she was gently laid down on her familiar bed and felt her shoes being removed from her. When she called for her mom Mary Margaret is instantly on her side and cradling her daughter's head lovingly. Basking in the familiar scent of her parents, Emma found herself suddenly asleep. Only to be woken up hours later in the familiar smell of chocolate chip cookies her mother always bake for her whenever she comes home. Removing the sleep from her eyes she looked for her things that she forgot to get in her car when she arrived only to find them in the foot of her bed along with her stuff from her dorm. Her parents must've been brought it up after she took a nap.
After taking her tight jeans off, she looked for her sweat pants and a clean tank top to wear. Once she found herself presentable she walked down the stairs only to find her mother busy cooking in the kitchen. Once she noticed Emma's scent in the room she instantly stopped what she was doing then engulf her daughter in a tight hug.
"How was your nap, sweetie?" Mary Margaret asked. Relieved to smell that her daughter is calm and not a hint of fear unlike the first time she arrived at their home.
"Good. It was good. I never realized I needed it after arriving here," Emma timidly answered then let her mother hug her even more. Her sandalwood scent calming her even more. "Thanks for bringing my stuff up, by the way. I'll hide them away later."
"No problem, sweetie. Why don't you sit down for a moment and have some snack?"
Emma smiled at her mother then slightly nodded her head. "Where's dad?" she asked when she noticed that her father is not around.
"He stopped by the station today finishing half of his shift so he could be here in time for dinner," Mary Margaret answered.
"Oh, okay," Emma shrugged then sipped some juice that her mother made for her.
None of them talked after that. But Emma knows that they can't delay the inevitable. One way or another her parents will open the subject of her reason for going home two weeks before her graduation. One that she just likely to forget, but the mark on her neck and arms says otherwise. And Emma knows they'll have to talk about it one way or another.
——————————
"Madame Mayor, Mary Margaret is here for your ten o'clock appointment," Regina's secretary Cynthia said through the intercom.
"Send her in, please," Regina said in a no nonsense tone then kept reading through the proposals in front of her. When the door of her office opened and revealed the small pixie haired woman Regina removed her Mayoral façade and gave her friend a gentle smile.
"Hi, Regina," Mary Margaret greeted her.
"Hello, dear. What can I do for you?" Regina can smell the nervousness and agitation coming from the small woman. It made her suddenly worried for her friend.
"Do you remember Emma? My daughter who's in Boston for college?" the pixie haired woman asked.
Regina nodded her head in affirmative. "Yes, I do remember her. You also said she's the cum laude of her class this graduation. Why?" Mary Margaret fidgeted in her seat that made Regina worry for her friend even more. "Mary Margaret is there something wrong?" she asked again.
"She's here in Storybrooke."
"Can I ask why?" she asked with a frown. Regina remembered Mary Margaret saying that her daughter is graduating in two weeks time and can't wait for her and her husband to go to Boston to attend their daughter's graduation. Hearing the woman said that Emma is in Storybrooke before that settled something uncomfortable inside of her.
"Three days ago she was attacked near her dorm by some alphas," Mary Margaret said in a whisper. When Regina saw the tears gathering at the corner of the woman's eyes she instantly stood up from her seat and gathered the woman in her arms.
"Oh, my. Mary Margaret," is her only response whilst hugging the weeping woman. The smell of hurt and anguish immediately spreading round the room.
"I don't know what to do with her, Regina. She barely sleeps, she barely eats, and she doesn't want to go even outside the house. And those damn marks on her neck and arms makes me want to go to Boston and beat the shit out of those alphas that hurt my baby," the woman sobbed.
Regina doesn't know what to say about that. But knowing what happened made her blood boil. She's an alpha herself but she never let herself being carried away with just a smell of an omega. No matter how much the beast inside her claw it's way out of her, she knows how to control herself. And knowing that Mary Margaret's child is an omega makes her want to protect the child too.
"It's going to be okay now since she's here with you and she's safe. And I promise you that I will protect her in the best of my abilities," she said to the small woman once she stopped crying.
"Really?" Mary Margaret asked when she accepted the tissue box that Regina offered to her.
"Of course! This is my town. And you're my friend. You and David saved my life once. It's time for me to return the favor," she said with conviction then gave the woman a small genuine smile.
Mary Margaret for the first time that day smiled. She's really lucky to have Regina as her friend. She grasped the woman's hand and squeezed it gently. "Thank you, Regina."
Regina smiled. "You're welcome, dear."
——————————
"I don't know if it's okay for me to go out, Mom," Emma said with a grimace.
Mary Margaret just pouted at her. "Please, sweetie? For me? We really wanted you to meet Regina since she helped us out when your father and I moved here. And she really wants to meet you too." Mary Margaret grasped her daughter's hand. "And we're not going out in public. She invited us for dinner in her house so we're not going out out. And I promise you she's harmless," she explained further.
"I don't know," Emma said, uneasy.
"Honey, I know you don't trust other alphas aside from me and your father but I can totally promise you that she won't do anything to harm you. She promised me and me and your father trusts her. So please? Just for tonight? Once you feel uneasy around her just say the word and we'll go."
Emma just bit her lower lip. She really doesn't know if it's a good idea for her to go outside even if she has her parents beside her. And she doesn't know this Regina person aside from stories her parents told her whenever they call her at the university. And even if they told her that Regina is harmless and doesn't act like those alphas she met in the city, she still has this uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. But that doesn't mean she's not curious on the woman her parents saved from a car crash three years ago.
"Emma, sweetie?" Mary Margaret asked.
Emma just let out a huff of breath then faced her mother. "Once I became uncomfortable in her presence we leave, okay?"
Mary Margaret let out a relieved smile then gently nodded her head. "One word from you and we're going home."
Emma took a deep breath then gently nodded. "Okay. I'll just go get ready for dinner."
"Wonderful," Mary Margaret exclaimed then kissed her daughter on her forehead. Once Emma was out of sight she looked at her husband who's silently watching from the kitchen with his own content smile on his face.
——————————
Her eyes almost went out of their sockets when she saw the large white house where her parents stopped their car in Mifflin Street.
"That's where she lives?" Emma asked incredulously at her parents.
Mary Margaret and David looked at each other knowingly before releasing a small chuckle. "That's the perks of being the mayor, kiddo," David said then climbed out of the car.
"Touché, dad," Emma muttered then walked behind her parents. She looked at her appearance one last time before standing behind her parents once they reached the porch. She tried so hard to calmed herself and not let the nerves get the best of her. She doesn't want to embarrass her parents in front of their friend.
It's not even a full ten seconds after her mom pressed the doorbell when the door gently opened, revealing a very beautiful woman who look a little bit younger than her mother. She was wearing a very form fitting blue dress that reached her knees with a gold necklace around her neck and black stilettos that fits her outfit. And when those red plump lips formed a smile that reached her chocolate brown eyes Emma practically swooned. She thinks this woman is a perfect example of a living goddess.
"Good evening, Regina," Mary Margaret greeted the woman.
"Good evening. Please do come in," Regina said with a wide smile and opened the door wider for her guests to come inside. But her eyes never left at the beautiful face of the younger woman who's sending a hint of nervousness in the air. Regina won't blame the girl though. Mary Margaret told her that Emma never trusted an alpha aside from her parents after what happened to her in Boston. She instantly calmed herself so that the girl will know that she's not a threat to her even though her intoxicating scent almost sent her overdrive.
"Regina, this is our daughter Emma," Mary Margaret said with a smile.
"I see. Her pictures didn't do her justice," Regina said with a smirk that made Emma blush a deep red.
"Nice to meet you, Mayor Mills," Emma said in a small voice that's enough for them to hear.
"Likewise, dear. And please, call me Regina."
Emma trailed behind her parents once they are all inside the immaculate house of the mayor. She bit her lip a little bit forcefully just to stop herself for saying something stupid. She doesn't want to ruin this night for her parents.
"I know you said we don't need to bring anything but I couldn't resist," Mary Margaret said to Regina when she held the bottle of Merlot in front of the woman.
"Nice selection. Thank you, Mary Margaret," Regina said when she accepted the bottle. "The food is almost ready. Why don't you make yourselves at home?"
"Thank you, Regina."
Emma just followed her mother's footsteps whilst her father joined Regina in the kitchen to relieve their drinks. Now that the older woman mentioned food, Emma can smell the aroma coming from the kitchen that makes her mouth water.
"Regina is an excellent cook. And from what I smell I think she cooked her famous lasagna recipe. You're going to love it," Mary Margaret told her once they were insinuated in the living room. Based on what Emma noticed her mother has come here a lot since Regina always invite her parents in her home.
Emma sat quietly whilst waiting for the dinner announcement. She's afraid to touch anything since everything looks perfect. She wonders if Regina hires a cleaning lady to clean her house since she doesn't even saw a single strip of dust anywhere or the woman cleans the place herself.
"Here you go," David announced when he entered the living room carrying a tray with their drinks. Her mother choses the wine whilst the apple juice was hers so the bottle of beer goes to her father. When she took a sip of her drink she can't help but release a small moan when she tasted the freshness of the drink.
"Good right?" Mary Margaret asked with a smile. Emma just nodded as an answer.
"Regina has her own apple trees in her back yard and at the back of the city hall so expect her to have fresh apples everyday," David said.
"And she even makes good apple cider," Mary Margaret added.
Emma just nodded as she took small sips. It's really good. She might second guess what she'll be buying in the store after this.
"Okay, everyone. Dinner is ready," Regina called from the living room door with a bright smile on her face.
The three of them stood up from the comfortable sofa to follow the older woman to the dining room. And what Emma saw screamed luxury.
The dinner was okay, at least to Emma's perspective. The food Regina cooked was really good that she almost inhaled it. She's so focused on her food that she didn't noticed the way Regina was looking at her.
There was pride in Regina's eyes whilst observing Emma silently as she devours her food. She doesn't really cook her specialty unless she has guest coming which was mostly the Swans or her best friend Kathryn whenever the woman visits Storybrooke. So seeing the younger woman enjoys her food without a hint of reservation really elevates her pride.
They kept the conversation on the table light and simple. No matter how many times Regina wanted to ask about what happened to Emma in Boston but she refrained herself. Mary Margaret told her some bits and pieces but that's just it. And she doesn't want the younger woman to feel uncomfortable under her roof so she did her best as a good host. Besides, she wanted to get to know Emma a little more even though Mary Margaret and sometimes David tell stories about their daughter and her childhood before Emma goes to college. In the three years since she knows the Swans, she noticed how they loved their daughter very much. Ever since Emma presented as an omega they became a little more overprotective over their little girl. So it's really hard for them to let Emma go alone in college. But after what happened to the younger woman a few days ago Regina's sure that they'll guard their daughter to the best of their abilities. Especially now that's she's back within their reach. And being the mayor of the small town, she knows there's a lot of unpredictable, aggressive alphas out there that can harm the Swan's only child.
Emma was silent throughout the dinner though. Only answering questions that was asked of her but kept silent when the conversation was steered away from the previous topic. But she's calm all throughout and she doesn't feel threatened by another alpha so that's a relief. At least she let Emma know that she's not a threat to her.
"Thank you for the wonderful dinner, Regina. The food is delicious as always," Mary Margaret said once Regina ushered them towards the door.
"Well, it's nice to cook for someone aside for myself for a while. And thank you for coming."
Mary Margaret clapped her hands. "Well, we better go. It's a school night and I still have a lot of grade schoolers to teach tomorrow. Thanks again, Regina," she said then kissed the woman on the cheek.
"It's a pleasure," Regina said then chanced a glance at Emma. "It was really nice meeting you, dear."
Emma just gave her a shy smile then simply nodded her head, hiding her blush. "You too, Regina."
Regina just watched the small family walking down the pathway towards their car. Her heart skipped a beat when Emma secretly looked back at her and gave her a small dimpled smile. She just gave them a small wave once they were all inside the car.
She took a deep breath once the tail lights of the car is out of her view. Regina can feel her not-so-little self awakening from the small smile Emma gave her way. The smell of cinnamon and toasted marshmallows still lingering in the air made her arousal more prominent. She never felt this kind of arousal in someone before. Not even potential omegas that wanted her attention. But Emma…
Regina shook herself out of her haze. No. she will not go there. Mary Margaret and David trust her. And she won't betray that trust just because she feels this kind of arousal towards their child. That urges to claim her. No. she won't be like those alphas that only wanted to take advantage of her. She's more than that. And how she managed that throughout dinner she didn't know.
When Regina looked down on herself, she just rolled her eyes and stalked her way up her room. She's going to need a really, really, really cold shower tonight.
——————————
"So. What do you think of Regina?" Mary Margaret asked once they made it inside their house.
Emma just shrugged her shoulders. "She's okay. But I still don't know her that much so you can't blame me for being cautious."
Mary Margaret just nodded. "Understandable."
"Why don't we all go upstairs and rest? It's late and some of us has work in the morning," David said that made the three of them laugh.
"Night, mom. Night, dad," Emma said to her parents and gave both a kiss in the cheek.
"Good night, sweetie."
Once Emma was out of earshot Mary Margaret gave her husband a knowing look and gestured for him to go with her in the kitchen. "You noticed, didn't you?" she asked her husband once she settled the kettle in the burner.
David just shrugged. "It's hard not to. Don't you think Regina is a good match for our daughter?"
"I don't know. But when I told her what happened to Emma I instantly felt this protective instinct on her. And when she met Emma face to face, I smelled her want to protect our daughter even more. And I must admit, there's a hint of arousal stirring somewhere." She scrunched up her nose and when she looked at her husband he also hold that same expression. As if thinking the same thing, both of them shook their heads.
"She's still too young," David said.
Mary Margaret nodded. "Agreed. She has to wait until she's thirty."
Both of them looked at each others' eyes then nodded in mutual agreement. "Thirty."
