After an amazing – and much needed – lunch, she returned to the drill pad to await her next set of training. The other alphas stared at her out of the corners of their eyes. They probably think I'm weak after falling earlier. Ugh I made such a fool of myself. She looked everywhere else other than at her fellow soldiers. Then, Huntara showed up.

"Alright, Cadets! The second half of today's training will be focusing on your alpha senses and urges. This will be an introduction to the kind of training you'll be subjected to for the next few weeks." She looked over at Adora as she said, "some of you may not be able to handle it."

She led the group of soldiers over to a simulation module.

Now, this was something Adora recognized. She stepped closer to the large door alongside the other alphas and awaited instruction.

"Inside, you'll each be tested. There will be something that will trigger your alpha and you must learn to control it. All of you will fail. The success of your teammates is the success of this unit and there is no one person who carries all the weight." Her words touched Adora. She had always been the best at simulations. She's worked her butt of to make it that way, but she's always had help too. She missed her team. "Let's go! First rank up. One person at a time."

This is new, Adora thought. She hadn't ever done a simulation alone. Fighting was always better when fighting with numbers, at least that's what the Horde had always taught her.

The first soldier walked in with their gear. They look ready and rearing to go. The door closed behind them, and we all watched on the monitors. They stepped around slowly as the scene unfolded before them for the simulation. Expecting a good fight, I watched with anticipation. My competitive side was coming out stronger than it normally did. I watched in anticipation, itching for my turn to go.

The soldier inside caught sight of something moving and crouched behind a simulated boulder. They looked around it and latched their eyes on a "princess." They shot up from behind and ran at the simulated bot, pointing and shooting the laser blaster. The bot dodged it and flung around the other side of the tree it was hanging on. It landed on the ground and rolled towards the soldier. It dodged the obstacles in front of it heading straight for the soldier. They leapt out of the way and blasted their weapon one more time. This time making contact.

Some of us on the outside cheered for them, but the battle wasn't over yet.

I looked over to Force Captain Huntara and saw her smug grin on her face. There's something different about this fight. She looked back to the screen to see another bot bolting for the soldier. But there's something different this time. The bot got close to the soldier and a spray was emitted from the body of the bot. Then, all of a sudden – after a long intake of air – the soldier's whole demeanor shifted. They became a completely different person as they began to chase the bot around the arena.

"That!" Huntara shocked the piss out of some of them, "is the scent of an omega. It can render an alpha useless on the battlefield. They'll lose their focus and chase tail until someone takes them out." She pressed a button and it halted the simulation. A team of large soldiers entered the arena grabbing hold of the crazed alpha triggered by the omega's scent.

Adora was shocked and appalled. She couldn't believe that's what she'd become. Something new dawned over her. A realization of what she could've become without receiving the proper training. She would've become a monster. And who would she have hurt first?... Catra, Adora thought. A new fire raised in her chest. She didn't want to become that. She didn't want to hurt anyone. She needed to get control of her urges.

She also realized the shift in the alpha's physical body as they drug them out right in front of her. They had the same protrusion between their legs, but nothing else. Their body wasn't bigger or any different than it was before. Something inside told her not to worry about her own body shifting the way it did before, but she couldn't keep the fear from bubbling up.

"Okay, who's up next!?" Huntara said it like she was rearing to get these alpha's in to get their first experience. Adora clenched her jaw, but someone raised their hand up first, allowing her time to see it one more time.

She realized that it's almost an involuntary response. There's something else about it. Something different. She could only remember the thought of one person giving her a response like that. The same feline that continued to haunt her dreams. She took a deep breath and raised her hand to go next.

She entered the arena, not used to being all by herself. She'd have to be vigilant. Her gear kicked on and a high-pitched tone filled her ears. The glasses sensed the simulation and she realized it's time to get to work. She saw her first bot, and instead of giving it a chance to spray her, she ducked past it's rolling body and shot it from behind. She released a breath and thought to herself that was too easy.

She stayed hidden in an area that had a good vantage point. She spotted her next two bots coming out from the tree branches. The simulated princesses jumped haphazardly towards her and she shot the first one on the left. The other got around to her backside, then she heard the mechanism for it to release it's "scent." She dove away and covered her face. "Ugh!" she said as she hits the hard surface of the simulator. She rolled to her back and shot a round from the laser blaster attached to her wrist. Then, recovered quickly hoping to dodge the scent from entering her sinuses.

She got some space between her and the last bot, when another one popped out of nowhere. It caught Adora off guard which didn't happen often. She's pushed back and lasers are blasted at her head. She lifted her arm shield and braced for the impact. It came and pushed her body back at least a meter.

Another bot joined the fight as Adora sent lasers at the first bot. This other bot was able to get Adora while she's down, and the spray was released.

Adora smelled it involuntarily and it did indeed catch her attention. She liked how good it smells, so much so that it made her mouth water. Her mind was reeling from how strong the urge to go after that scent was. She couldn't even describe what it was doing to her. She wanted it.

She wanted it like she wanted Catra in her dreams… The thought of the lithe feline pulled her from the intense moment of sensations. It's like a pain in her head, and her heart, that she couldn't explain. Like she was betraying Catra somehow. She roared in pain and launched her body backwards, giving herself space to shoot the blasted bot.

She's panting on the ground as the door opened to reveal Force Captain Huntara and the others.

"Well done, cadet! Very few young alphas have the ability to control themselves while in the midst of an omega in heat." She once again smacked the back of Adora, sending her to her knee this time. The simulation had really taken it out of her.

Adora chuckled a little, very pleased that the simulation was over – and very confused about why she kept thinking of Catra?!

The rest of the training went much the same way. The alphas were tested on their ability to ignore their desires to fight each other as well as chase after omegas. It was exhausting to say the least.

Adora dropped into her bunk and slowly breathed out, releasing what she could from today's events.

"Adora!" Scorpia charged into the room like she always did. "So glad to see you! How are you feeling? Better I hope" Her smile was infectious and eased some of Adora's tension.

"Yeah, a lot better actually. My second training session went better than the first." She sat up in her bed leaning against the head rail and tucked her arm behind her head.

"I heard! You were able to ignore the omega scent on the first try! Not too many people can say they've done that." She chuckles. "Even me! I think it took me at least a dozen or two tries before I could even start to get a handle on it." She blushed lightly, divulging the information for some reason brought up a hint of embarrassment.

"Yeah, I'm not even sure how I did it." She looked down with her hand on her chin. A light blush streaked across her face as well. She remembered thinking of Catra, and the way her scent always made her feel at home. But this scent from the bot was different. It was stronger. Pungent, but not like how fowl the alphas' scents were. It was sweeter and more desirable.

"No worries, I wouldn't harp on it for too long. It'll just fluster you for next time." Scopria stood up stretching her arms and pinching her pincers. "Well, I better hit the showers. I stink! You wanna come?"

Adora shuffled in her seat a little. "Yeah. I'll be there in a minute. Just gonna take a few more moments to rest for a second."

"Yeah, totally! I get it. First day is always a killer. See ya in there." Scorpia walked away after grabbing her shower gear.

Adora breathed deeply and let it out harshly. She tried to relax and succeeded as she drifted off to sleep.

It was the same damn dream…

Catra was there in her tight legging pants walking closer to Adora. Her smirk was knowing and her eyes screamed attitude. She reached Adora and wrapped her arms around her. Suddenly, Adora's senses were overloaded as she smelled that same sweet scent from earlier today. But this time it was coming from… Catra. She took a slow long drag of the scent. Making sure it filled her up. Something about it started to drive Adora to the edge. In this dream, she felt the shift between her legs happen. It was uncomfortable, but it felt right. She felt her inner alpha connect with her and they synced. All she wanted was to take Catra right where she stood. She wanted to reach out and grab her. Take control and do what she pleased with the strong feline.

"Mmm, Adora. Take me, please." Catra had never spoken like that to her before. She wasn't sure what to think. Had things really changed this much?

The way she said it makes Adora's mind fuzzy with desire.

Catra turned around and teased Adora with her backside. She made sure to wiggle her hips. Her tail flicked side to side revealing her excitement that pooled between her legs. The smell was driving Adora mad.

"Adora!" Catra sounds so needy…

"Adora!

Adora sits up so fast in her bed that she nearly hits her head on bunk above her.

"Woah! Adora, some crazy dream, huh?" Scorpia asks blushing looking towards the ceiling.

"Wha-"Adora looked down at herself protruding between her legs, tightly confined behind her pants. "Oh!" She hid herself with the blanket, completely covering her face.

Scorpia laughed out loud. "No! It's okay, really. It happens to the best of us. Why don't I hurry and get changed and give you some time to yourself?"

"Uh, time for myself for what?" Adora barely peeked her head out.

"Wha - I'm telling you, you really need to go to Alpha Soldier orientation!"

Adora groaned. "They have some tomorrow, I'm going to the first one, bright and early." She spilled it out so fast as her cheeks grew hot.

"Well, for now I guess I'll let you in on how to help with… that" Adora lifted out her head one more time to see Scorpia – sporting a bright red streak on her cheeks – pointing to her problem.

"Yes! Please help!" Adora nearly fell out of bed reaching for the woman.

"Woah there! Some personal space is necessary for this conversation." Adora slowly sat back into position and had a crooked smile on her face. Scorpia continued, "okay well… you touch it. When you're alone! Preferably. Or with another person. Yano, it's all about your preferences." She coughs as she stumbles quickly through her explanation. "And you sort of just let your mind wander. You don't have to think of anything in particular, but you'll start thinking of stuff once you get going. So! I'll uh… give you some you time. I'm going to leave and keep myself busy." She quickly jumped up from her seat and made her way to the door. "Have fun!" She chuckled while walking away.

This was all so crazy and weird. She decided to relax after Scopria left. It was more comfortable to deal with all of this in privacy. She took a deep breath and tried to think back to her dream from a moment ago. Adora loved that dream, she could still smell the faint scent of Catra. But was that really her scent? I don't think I've ever smelled Catra like that before.

She started to remember the way she was standing there with her back to her. Like she was beckoning her forward. Adora thought about the way her hips swayed…

But then, a realization hit her. Her mind had made all of that up. She had never seen Catra do those things. Did she want to do those things? It was all so confusing.

Instead, Adora set her mind on something else. All Adora could think about was their last interaction in her room. It wasn't like her dream. Catra was as curious as Adora was and not very experienced at all. But the way she trailed her fingers up and down felt like agonizing bliss. Adora kept thinking of how Catra touched her and the way her eyes looked as she did so. She had so much power over Adora in that moment.

Adora started sliding her hand up and down her appendage, just like Catra was in her mind. It started to seem so real. She inhaled deeply at how good it felt. She'd never touched herself like this before. This was like a drug. All she wanted was Catra's hand sliding up and down. She could only imagine it, but her own motions became in tandem with her thoughts, and for a brief moment it really did feel like Catra was doing it.

Her breath hitched in the back of her throat. Her other hand was gripping harder on the head rail behind her. She didn't think of the noises she was making. All she saw were those two mismatched eyes taking deep pleasure in what she was doing to Adora.

Adora's face scrunched up as she was falling further and further into the hot sensation in her core. She was nearing something, but she wasn't sure what. Adora's hand started speeding up, just as fast as Catra's did in her mind. The blonde huffed out each time she panted as she was closely reaching her limit on how great this felt. Suddenly, her thoughts shifted and Catra was trying something else. Adora couldn't take her eyes off of the person in front of her. Her curves were call Adora to grab them. Catra started to lower her face towards the exact point of all of Adora's pleasure. Catra parted lips just as she had reached the tip of her – "Agggghhh!" Her eyes were shut so tight and she felt all the pressure that had been building finally release. She had sprayed hot liquid down her hand decreasing the friction of her dry hand and allowing herself the ability to go much faster this time.

She wasn't expecting to continue, but Catra stumbled back into her mind once more and started to lick the tip. Adora's hand was moving so fast this time she hardly had a few seconds to recover from the last shockwave. She inhaled sharply and another set of fireworks burst behind her eyes. She squirted more liquid on her hand and felt some spill onto her shirt this time. Her mouth opened as she silently screamed for Catra. A guttural groan escaped her mouth after her release is finished. She fell over on her side and panted for air. She held her throbbing member in her hands gripping at it hoping she can maintain some of Catra with her for just a few moments longer.

She wasn't sure why it's always Catra, but some small part of her thought she knew. It's always been her. `

A/N

Okay two chapters in one night! I thought about keeping it one long chapter, but I liked splitting it up more. They're so amaze-balls.

And don't worry. There won't always be lonely nights for Adora and I didn't forget to write about Catra. She'll get some screen time
