previously, on His Alpha Her Omega

After a few more minutes, I go down to his back. I only slide my hands up and down his back a few times before I stop. Luka's breath has become slow and even, I walk around and look at his face. his eyes are closed and his lips are slightly parted. He's asleep, I think to myself. I walk into the bathroom, grab a dark brown shirt that's sitting on the counter, and put it by Luka's sleeping form. I walk out of the room, shutting the door behind me.  

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Luka's P.O.V

My eyes slowly flutter open, and when they come into focus, I look around. The lights are still dim, but Shelby, Doctor Sherry, and even Sophie have all left, leaving me alone in this room in soothing silence.

How long have I been out? It couldn't have been that long, could it? I ask myself. I wonder where they could be, then I see a white door out in front of me. Realizing I'm still laying down, I sit up, then look down and see a medium sleeve chocolate brown shirt. I slowly pick it up and sniff it. Once I make sure it's safe, I slip it over my head and put it on.

It feels good to be wearing something clean again. No, it feels good to be clean again, period, I think to myself. I get up and walk over to the door. As I do, I take notice that my walking has become a lot less painful. It has almost been a year and a half since my walking has felt this good, and even though it's still a little sore, I can only hope that that'll pass in time.

I walk over to the door and open it, then I slowly stick my head out of the doorway. I can't see because the hallway's so dark, but then, a delicious scent enters my nose. Half of it is Sophie's fresh vanilla scent, but there's another scent mixed in with it. A scent that is wrapping itself around my body before it enters my nose. A warm, sweet, rich mouthwatering scent that kind of reminds me of chocolate. Wait. It is chocolate.

I take a small step forward. As I do, a light comes on over my head. It's a good thing I didn't take a larger step, otherwise I could've taken a tumble, and not a fun one at that. In front of me is a flight of about ten wooden steps, and one rail on each side. I reach my left foot out slightly and touch the first step going down, I let out a sigh and swing my other foot down. I begin slowly walking down the stairs, but because I'm so small I can't reach the rails themselves, so I just hold on to their framing as I follow the sweet scent of chocolate and my new favorite scent, fresh vanilla.

Sophie's P.O.V.

I end up sitting on the living room couch talking to Shelby and my aunt, which I don't mind one bit. My aunt and Shelby have also decided to spend the night here, just in case something happens. Aunt Sherry's fixing hot chocolate, and the scent is already filling up the room, making our mouths water. Suddenly the light at the very top of the stairs, turns on, my aunt and Shelby both flinch. Not in fear, but out of surprise.

"What's that?" my aunt asks as I sniff the air, the scent of fresh honey enters my nose.

"Stay calm, it's just Luka," I reply. There is the sound of small feet coming down the stairs.

Luka appears at the bottom step a moment later holding on to the railing. He walks over to the couch and sits down right beside me. After a moment, he speaks up.

"Hi," he grumbles.

"Hi," I reply back in a sweet tone.

Luka clears his throat before speaking again, "So, Sophie, how long was I out?" he asks.

"About two hours." I say to him.

"Two hours, man, you must've been rubbing on him good," Shelby speaks up.

I turn towards the two of them, "Could you two go upstairs for a while, I kind of want to talk to Luka alone" I say.

"Sure, sweetheart, we were thinking about turning in anyway," my aunt says as she and Shelby get off the couch. "Remember to turn the stove off when the hot chocolate's ready."

"Sure" I reply as she walks over and wraps her arms around me. I wait until she and Shelby are about to go up the stairs, "Oh and Aunt Sherry, if you and Shelby hear a scream call the Fire Department." Everybody chuckles.

"Well, alright, good night Sophie. Good night Luka, I hope you have a good sleep," Says my aunt as she and Shelby walk up the stairs.

After I hear the door close I turn back to look at Luka. I take Luka's hand and intertwine it with my own. "Luka, would you mind if I ask you a question or two?" I ask him.

"I'll answer your question if you answer two of mine," Luka replies.

"Why?" I ask him.

"Because I have questions too," He replies.

"Fine, what are your questions?" I ask.

"Why don't your Aunt and Shelby smell like us? And why doesn't Shelby talk much?" He asks me.

I let out a sigh before speaking, this is something we don't usually talk about. "That's because they're just plain human. One day a gang of rogues attacked a nearby village. There were no survivors, or so we thought. When our pack sent out a search party to investigate, my grandmother found a small baby hidden in a little brown basket, so my grandmother picked her up, took her in, and adopted her, 40 years later the same thing happened to Shelby."

"Then, how come your aunt can use the mind link?" Luka looks puzzled.

"It's because of the mark that my uncle put on her," I explain to him. "When my aunt was a young girl around our age, she knew about werewolves but not mates. Then, when she met my uncle and he marked her, then she was able to connect with the pack."

"Oh, I get it now," he says.

"Now about Shelby," I say. I pause to take a deep breath. "As you probably know, the Alpha before me was my father. My two brothers, Daniel and Michael, and I all had the Alpha gene, so that meant we were all next in line for the role, but my chances were slim because I was a female and I had never told anyone I had the gene in the first place. At that time I was training to be a pack Doctor like my mother and my aunt. Shelby was in the same group as me since she was the same age as us and..." Luka cuts me off.

"And let me guess, she was your worst enemy," he says.

I shake my head, "No, it was the opposite, we were best friends. Now of course I didn't tell her about having the gene, because I didn't want that to change anything between us, and then the Rogue attack happened. A few days after my father and brothers died, the head Betas started drawing blood from every pack member to test for the gene. Now when they drew my blood I knew what they were going to find, still I thought they would turn a blind eye to it, surprisingly though, they didn't. When Shelby finally found out, she was stunned. Fast-forward to today, and she still hasn't gotten over the shock," I explain.

"Okay, Luka asks, "now that I have my questions answered, what're yours?"

"When we were giving you a shower earlier today when I was changing the shower setting around, you said something like 'Do what, change it to cold.' Why would you say something like that?" I hear the stove beep, which is a signal to me that the hot chocolate's ready. I stand up from the couch and walk over to the kitchen. "I'll be right back, Luka. You can still talk to me from in there."

I hear Luka take a deep sigh, like he's scared to tell me. "Well, about a year ago, I was up around the main part of the territory, one of the few times I was ever up around the main part of the territory. I was walking behind Keith and Cody. I was trying to keep it down so they wouldn't realize who I was and send me packing. Then suddenly, out of the blue, Keith dropped a ticket to the Bath House. I stopped and picked it up. Now at the time I was thinking 'Jackpot,' since it had been awhile since my last real shower. So I go up to the counter, turn in my ticket, and went inside. When I walked inside, I made sure that no one was around before I stripped down. I walked inside the shower stall..." This time it's my turn to cut him off.

"So Luka, what does this have to do with the shower incident from earlier today?" I ask him.

"I'm getting there. Anyway, as I turned the water on, it made that deep, low creak that a shower head makes when it's not working. I stepped back from the shower head and thought 'Oh well, that's too bad,' but then I noticed something strange. All of the other showers were working, but mine. I then heard some quiet footsteps along with some muffled voices coming from the outside of my shower stall. I thought to myself, 'I should just run away, right now,' but it was too late, and the next thing I knew, a ton of ice water was being dumped on me from the other side of the shower. I ran out of my stall and Keith, Cody, and the other guys started laughing at me. Then Keith took a picture of me and told me that if I ever told anyone about this, he would put it online for everyone to see. I really wanted a hot shower, but instead all I did was run out of the bath house embarrassed. And to top it all off, it was the coldest night of the year so I got sick and..." Luka trails off, starting to break down.

While I'm hearing this I'm in the kitchen pouring the hot chocolate into two mugs. I fix his the same way I fix mine, topped with tons of whipped cream and little marshmallows, and top it off by putting a little bendy straw in it if he wants it. Then, as I pick up the mugs to take them into the living room, I hear something I never thought I would hear from a male werewolf. Luka is crying.

I walk into the living room, and place my mug on the coffee table in front of the couch. I then walk over, place my hand under Luka's chin, and gently raise it, making Luka look up at me. "Would you dry those tears for a mug of hot chocolate?" I say sweetly as I hand him his mug. Luka looks at me confused. "Go on take it, it's yours" I say still holding the mug out for him to take.

"Thanks," Luka says with a small nod as he takes the mug in his hands.

"Careful, it's hot," I say quietly as I turn around, grab my mug from the coffee table, and sit down on the couch.

I turn towards Luka. He still has the mug in his hands, then he sniffs it a few times before he brings it to his lips and takes a sip. Now I'm puzzled. He did the same thing back in my healing quarters when he was drinking his Pepsi. Why does he do that every time he drinks something? "Hey Luka, why do you do that?" I ask him.

"Why do I do what?" He replies, after taking a big sip of hot chocolate.

"Take a sniff of your drinks before sipping on them."

"I don't know. I guess it's a habit I have to do, I don't know," Luka responds.

"Oh, that's all," I say as I sit back further onto the couch.

We then drink our hot chocolate in silence for a while, then at around midnight, as I'm putting our hot chocolate mugs in the sink, Luka yawns and gets up off the couch. "Well this has been fun, but I'd better be getting back to my bench."

"Luka, where are you going?" I ask him as I speed walk out of the kitchen.

"Back to the park," he replies.

"Luka we're mates, do you know what that means?" I ask as I cock an eyebrow at him.

"Yes, but what does that have to do with the subject at hand?" He asks me back.

"Since we're soul mates you get to sleep with me," I say as I gently scoop Luka up in my arms bridal style and carry him towards the elevator.

Once I step inside, the elevator doors close, I look down at Luka. He yawns, and his eyes are halfway closed. "Looks like you're going to be on the next train to dream land soon, baby," I say. Then the elevator doors open, and I step onto the second floor.

When I walk into my bedroom and lay him down. Luka practically melts into the bed. I smile and cover him up. "Alright, you go to sleep, and I'll be here when you wake up in the morning," I whisper soothingly, as I give him a peck on the forehead. Luka rolls over closer to my side of the bed. I walk over to my side of the bed. I then take my shoes off and swing my legs into bed. As I roll over and watch Luka's sleeping form, I can't help but think of what happened when he went to the Bath House. I am going to kill those Betas, I think to myself. Then I drift off for a peaceful sleep with Luka.

Or, so I thought.

Hay guys, it's time for some rhetorical questions.

Why do you think Luke Luka sniffs his drink first before drinking some?

And what do you think happens next? 

If you find any mistakes let me know, Bye guys :=)
