"Dude, you can't just go about having arguments with all the alpha's in college."

"It wasn't an argument,"

"Plus she's like, extremely territorial. Top dog kinda deal."

"Keila, I think you think this is way worse than it actually is. I just want to know who she is."

Keila sighed as they sat down at a table together. "Her name's Bonnibel Banner. Most of her friends call her Bonnie, and yes what she told you was true. You're probably going through your first heat."

Marceline pouted. "So I'm just gonna be horny all day? Big deal." Keila rolled her eyes as she bit into her sandwich.

"No, Marce, you're gonna be horny for a couple weeks. Heat comes in stages. Gets worse as it goes on kinda deal."

Marceline groaned and prodded the apple on her tray. "Why, though? Why can't it just be a one day 'hey you're horny' ordeal once a month. Why's it have to be a couple of weeks?"

"I don't know," Keila shrugged. "My best guess is that it's your body telling you to get laid. Plus, after you settle down with a mate it starts to ease up."

"I have to get laid?"

"I mean, no one's saying you have to. Supposedly, you can take some medication that'll get rid of it but the side effects are whack." Keila shot her a grin. "Why, you still a virgin?"

"What do you think, idiot? I've only just learned what being in heat was." Marceline half heartedly punched her friend in the arm. "Is, uh, is she with anyone right now?"

"Who? Bonnibel?"

"Yeah,"

Keila scoffed. "Is Bonnibel Banner with anyone right now? No, dumbass. She's getting straight A's and is a shoe in for honours. You really think she's gonna throw that away because you're horny?"

Marceline snorted. "I didn't say I wanted to date her. I was just curious, if she's not dating anyone then why is she 'top dog' around here?"

"Look, that's something only us alpha's know, okay? It's like… unwritten rules. When there's an alpha and another alpha one of them just… gives off more of a dominant energy. Like I said, she's territorial as fuck."

Marceline huffed and glanced over her shoulder at the line of students getting their food, scanning the rest of the room before landing on Bonnibel surrounded by a few other students. Marceline was ashamed to say her thoughts then devolved into thinking about her freckles and cute dimpled smile. Keila, at least, got to eat her food in peace.

"There's a new puppy in my history class," Jake huffed. "Smells like a candy store, Bonnibel."

"Jacob," Lady's elbow dug itself in between Jakes ribs as he nudged Bonnibel with his own. "First off, ew, secondly I'm right here."

"I've met her," Bonnibel could only reply around a half amused smile at her friends. Jake and lady had been together the longest out of anyone in their motley group of friends. "She didn't even know what being in heat was."

"What?" Jake asked incredulously. "Hang on, you're telling me she's walking around smelling like that and doesn't even know why?"

Bonnibel shrugged. "She's a dumb mutt, if you ask me. She did say she was home schooled, though, so I assume by not growing up alongside unmated alphas her body didn't feel the need to release any pheromones until today."

Lady narrowed her eyes. "Someone's been chatty with the new pup."

"Oh, please," Bonnibel scoffed. "She came up to my table and insisted she sit down. Obviously I said no because I could already smell her."

"Did you let her?"

"Kind of." Bonnibel muttered reluctantly. "While I was explaining what makes her role important she just sat down, unannounced, and I had to sit there for an hour completely distracted and surrounded by her scent."

"Poor you," Jake offered sarcastically. "And since when do you get distracted by omega's anyway?"

Bonnibel narrowed her eyes at him and stuck her tongue out. "Just because I choose grades over sex doesn't mean I don't get distracted by innocent omegas every now and then. Especially when they're cute girls. Actually, only when they're cute girls."

Lady gasped. "What's this? Bonnibel has impure thoughts about omegas? The audacity."

"Oh, shut up. I probably have the most impure thoughts out of the whole college. I'm just good at staying composed." God, if any of her friends knew how many times a day she thought about mating an omega, or even just scenting a cute little pup, they'd never think of her the same way again. And there's absolutely no way she was going to tell anyone about how many times she's thought about knotting the cute new girl today alone. It hadn't even been two hours since she first saw her and it was probably already at an unhealthy number. It was just, well, this college was hers, and an innocent new omega who knew absolutely nothing was enough to send Bonnibel's thoughts into a frenzy.

"Yeah, but one things a dead give away, huh?" Jake nudged her again, pointing at her crotch with an immature grin on his face. Bonnibel was thankful when Lady's elbow reappeared in his ribcage. If they'd paid too close attention they'd have probably noticed the bulge in the front of her pants. Yeah, the number was definitely above fifty. Thank god she brought a coat with her today. "It's a joke. A funny joke, that we can bond over, right Bonnie?"

"I'm going to leave now, Jake." Bonnibel huffed, offering a wave of her hand over her shoulder as she stood from the table and walked away, tugging her jumper down below her belt to hide her obvious sign of arousal. The audacity.
