Cyrus Goodman ran into his room locking his door and hid under his sheets and blankets. As soon as his birthday party ended and everyone went home he felt it. He felt his body change. It didn't hurt but he knew what it meant. It meant that he was an Omega and it scared him. He wasn't prepared for it. He had wished that he was a beta like Andi. He knew from the tender age of five that he'd never be an Alpha. He was smaller and less masculine then the other boys and some girls. He had chalked it up to being sheltered by his parents but obviously that wasn't the case.
"Cyrus, honey...please open the door." His mother pleaded.
Cyrus felt his body start to shake out of sheer fear of how his life was going to be from here on out.
"N-No!...G-Go Away!" He stuttered.
His mother sighed and reached on the top of the door frame where she kept a spare key and unlocked her sons door. She sat on his bed and placed a hand on what she assumed was his back. She could hear the boy whimpering under the sheets.
"Cyrus it'll be ok." His mother assured him. Cyrus only cried harder at her words.
"No...it won't...you're not even an omega. You don't even know what it's like." Cyrus cried out.
"But your step mother is. She can help you Cyrus. You're not alone." His mother comforted.
Cyrus poked his head from under his sheets. His eyes were puffy and red. His tears seemed to be stuck to his face as he looked at his mother.
"Can she (hiccup) make it go away?" Cyrus hiccuped.
Cyrus's mother sighed and smiled weakly.
"No...I'm afraid she can't. But she can show you how to properly take care of yourself." His mother informed.
Cyrus's head fell into his pillow. "Mom I'm scared...what if I." The aging woman cut her son off.
"Cyrus, there's warning signs when that occurs. I'll make sure you're far away from anyone and everyone." His mother assured.
The Next Day...
"Where's Cyrus?" Andi asked as she opened her locker.
Buffy looked at Andi and sighed. One of Andi's eyebrows curved upward out of curiosity of why Buffy was acting weird.
"What is it Buffy?" She questioned the girl.
Buffy stepped forward and leaned so that she was by the girls ear.
"Cyrus is an omega." Buffy whispered.
Andi's eyes went wide.
"Buffy, oh my god. How'd he take it?" Andi said shocked.
Buffy shrugged and opened her locker. "I honestly don't know. His mom said he was locked in his room and didn't want to come to school...I was tempted to run up there and snatch him out of there but I didn't want to traumatize him." Buffy sighed.
"Traumatize who?" Marty asked appearing out of no where.
"Cyrus...he's not feeling to good right now." Andi answered.
"Oh..well I hope he fee..." Marty gets interrupted by people gasping.
Jonah Beck was walking down the hall hand in hand with a girl nobody recognized.
"Isn't that the 5th one in the last 2 weeks." Buffy commented.
Andi sighed and lowered her head. Jonah and Andi were once together but after finding out he was an Alpha he stopped caring about her all together. He acted like he had never known her to begin with. Omega girls lined up to be with Jonah and he took advantage of that. TJ walked up to the boy giving him a hot five.
"Those two disgust me. I hate how they treat omegas like their dispensable." Buffy complained with a clenched fist.
Marty placed a hand on the girls shoulder trying to calm her down. He was always like this with Buffy. Whenever she'd get upset or angry about something he'd try to calm the girl down.
"Just ignore them then." Marty recommended.
The Alpha inside of Buffy didn't want to let it go. She wanted to beat the crap out of TJ and Jonah. Especially Jonah for making Andi feel worthless.
Andi has always wondered if Marty was an Omega from the way he acted around Buffy. But then at times he'd show signs of being an Alpha because he was strong and athletic. She wanted to ask the boy but didn't want to come off as rude.
Buffy stared harshly at the green eyed boy as he walked past them. She took a step forward only for Marty to hug the girl stopping her from moving. She then looked at Marty who had worried eyes.
"I'm sorry Marty?" She apologized with softening eyes.
"It's fine Buffy...I just hate when you get like this." Marty sighed.
Andi looked at the two confused and shocked. They were still hugging each other and their heads were extremely close.
"Ahem!" Andi cleared her throat.
Both Marty and Buffy looked at Andi. Buffy lightly pushed Marty off of her.
"Do you guys wanna tell me something?" Andi questioned with her arms crossed.
Buffy frowned then looked up at Andi.
"Marty's my mate." Buffy voiced. Andi just rolled her eyes.
"That wasn't hard to miss...the question i really have is if Marty an Omega or not?" Andi clarified.
"How'd you know?" Marty asked.
"Your super gentle with things. I only second guessed myself because your really into sports." Andi shrugged.
Buffy took Marty's hand into hers.
"How long have you guys been together?" Andi asked while closing her locker.
Buffy looked Marty in the eyes. "Well it's complicated. When we both tried out for track we went head to head. I had heard he was fast so I challenged him to a race. I wanted to beat him so badly that I didn't realize that in the middle of the race he had the beginning stages of his heat. I could smell the pheromones and they had attracted me to him. I could see how scared and worried he got so I rushed him to the principals office before it got bad." Buffy informed.
Marty smiled at the curly headed girl.
Andi was still confused. "Buffy didn't you..." Buffy cut the short haired girl off.
"Andi you know me better then that. Even if I had the urge to...you know...I still had better judgement. I'd never do that without his consent." Buffy said proudly.
