BRAYDEN: How are you feeling?
You seemed sad this morning,
I didn’t want to leave you! x
BRAM: I hate school cause you’re not here,
I don’t have the guys either, where I’m a year below,
the litter are in some classes, so that helps.
You good? Bray seemed worried,
FYI, Ember gives amazing hugs x
I get Ember to send me the photo she took and send it to them as answer. I don’t have words for them right now. I just feel needy and not just for sex; even though Xander said that might help, but neither has shown interest in that yet, unless they think I want to wait for my third mate!
I let out a big sigh. I’m too in my head right now to read my book, it’s a reverse harem but with some male-on-male action, Hard Limits by Suki Williams. I’m just starting book two. I can’t say some of the Kinks are my thing, but reading them definitely has an effect. I just want cuddles and more of these Eton mess muffins, nummy.
“That was a big sigh, pretty kitty. Wanna talk?” Ember says, she carries on writing and sketching, leaving the floor open to me; who knew you needed 4 notepads to write a book, 1 sketchpad, 1 for notes, 1 for character info and the final one to write the actual book? I realise I haven't answered her as I watch her sketch her Female Main Character. I finish my muffin and then sigh.
“Xander recommended that sex with my mates could help with my weepy feelings, but neither has shown interest in more than cheek kisses, holding my hand now and then and snuggles while watching films. Both have slept in my bed a few times, but they don’t cuddle; they are just there. I get I’m a year older than Brayden and nearly two years between me and Bram, but… they seemed happy when they got my mark.” She doesn't say anything for a while before answering.
“I’ll talk to Bram and get him to talk to Bray, they need to make you aware of what they want and also be conscious of your omega needs, your heat won’t fully hit until you meet mate number three BUT with you already having mini heats as such, you could turn full cougar on them, and put them in a position where you force them to help you or they watch you in severe pain” she sighs shaking her head.
“Even if you just have cuddles at night, maybe some heavy petting and shared bubble baths, all this will help you. I’ll talk to Bram. I know Bray is my Twin, but that’s different. I know Bram more, and the way to approach without him getting snarky with me interfering, I got you pretty kitty, and remember I’m here for snuggles any time and an ear if you just wanna talk, I’ll just ignore it’s about my twin and someone I see as a little brother” We both chuckle, then Ember gets a nervous look,
“Can I ask why your last name is your designation?” I give her a smile and hand her another treat to show I’m not upset with her question.
“I was seven when I came to live here, Nic visited a local pack, which has been closed down and the lands are now a camping ground, anyways, everything was going okay with the visit until he passed a small dog crate, and spotted a small white kitten inside, he knelt by it to give it some fuss and he realised the kitten was an underfed shifter.” She blinks at me, and again I smile,
“The next day, Nic, Mika and Mickey G turned up, without warning and found the Alpha dragging my unconscious self around by a leash. He claimed it was, so I didn’t run away, but after talking to some of the others, I was chipped like a common house cat. He knew I was an omega, and he was trying to make me meek and obedient.” She puts her stuff down and goes up on her knees, giving me a tight hug,
“After I got here and shifted my hair was so long, Brayden said it went on for miles, I was only ever called omega or runt, so when Mickey G and Nic sat me down to sort out a name, I chose Miles,and to use the past as a reminder, but also a new shield, I chose Omega as a surname.” She nods and gives me another squeeze, then we grab another treat and settle back down.
We spend the rest of the day, watching people’s reactions some just come up and do the pearl grasping, and shaking their heads, one guy is physically sick in the bin wonder which demand that was, some get red-faced and storm into the pack house yelling for Uncle Nic, one older lady, tries to look for the projector chuntering about smashing it and how dare we show the contract she submitted – lucky for us the projector is on the wall level with the balcony and it's linked to Darby’s computers so only he can shut the projector down.
We stop when Xander appears and ask Ember to come down to the medical suite. When I notice her hands shaking, I go along for moral support. The death grip she has on my hand while he takes blood and swabs, we then sit and cuddle a little longer and get some hot chocolates.

Miles and I pack up just before the guys get home, hiding any evidence of s’mores cookies. A few people are demanding to see the Alpha and for him to discipline his wayward brats for making public what had been requested.
When the guys get home, I find Bram unpacking his gym bag 'Yuck, hold your nose' I shut his bedroom door, and he gives the classic little brother reaction, with panicked, wide eyes.
“Whatever it was, it wasn't me!” Instead of his normal Dragon rumble, it’s more of a whiney squeak, which just sets me off laughing.
When I finally get control of myself, I nearly set off again at the 6ft 4 Dragon with his hands on his hips with a guarded look in his eyes.
“BamBam, don’t worry, I wanted to talk to you about something, and it has to do with Miles. I’m more comfortable with you than Brayden, so you will have to have this conversation with him” As I finish, he goes from guarded to concerned, so I continue quickly.
“Miles is going through a mini heat; it's similar to a females period; he just wants cuddles and comfort food and is a little more sensitive to things, which is why I’ve spent all day curled up with him under blankets eating crap, I think my ass has grown two sizes, we had a few laughs after he explained, while we were watching people’s reactions to the projector” I gage his emotions and he seems upset.
“I asked Miles why he hadn't gone to you and Bray, and he said that other than small touches and the occasional cheek kiss and snuggles during a movie, neither of you has given him the idea you want more from him,” I say this softly.
“I’m starting to see why you wouldn't want to talk to your brother about this”, he says, his face going red.
“I know you better, that’s why I came to you!” I said before continuing to explain.
