Previously, on His Alpha Her Omega

"Whoa, whoa Sophie, I was just kidding." Elliot whines and bows his body in respect.

"You better have been," I grumble under my breath. I let Luka enjoy his deer leg alone and walk over towards the carcass. Elliot gets up and follows. I choose to eat around the middle back of the deer, so that I can see the other side of the river, while Elliot chooses the belly.

I take one last look over to the other side of the river to start eating, as I bend down the fur along my back stands up on end, I would've sworn I saw a gray wolf's face peering out from the green trees. I look back up, but see nothing. 

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

It's now been three weeks since Luka started attack training with my uncle, and he's been improving ever since. On the first day, we managed to figure out another reason why Luka couldn't attack my uncle the first few times. My uncle looked like a giant wolf from Luka's point of view, so he got overwhelmed. We got Elliot to help us. He's now the one who actually charges and plays attack with Luka, while my uncle just watches from the side of the arena and tells him what to do every now and again. As for his mind link and wolf control skills, my uncle has entrusted me to take Luka out to the meadow every day to practice.

When it comes to mind linking, Luka has it all down. He can practically do it without thinking. Sometimes, when I'm in my office doing work, Luka will link me and say something like, 'Hey, Sophie, what are you doing?' or 'Can I come and be there with you?,' and I'll always reply, "I'm doing good,' or 'Sure you can, why do you always ask?'

Wolf control is another story. Luka will start to let his wolf take control, with his eyes changing color and all, but he hasn't let his wolf take emotional control yet, which is the next big step for him to take. But the time will come.

Keith and Cody are still grounded from patrols and are still working at Den House. Cody loves it because his mate Heather lives and works there. They cook, clean, and help the pups with anything and everything they need.

His big brother, Keith, however, hates it. He says it's the most boring job ever. He even asked for his old job back, which I rejected, as I somehow doubt he's learned his lesson yet. Luka likes it because when they go home from work they are both too tired to do anything else, Cody takes Heather home with him and they crash in his room, while Keith goes to his room and crashes.

Right now I'm at the sink, cleaning up the dishes after Luka and I have just finished a batch of my famous garlic bread, made from the French bread from the last full moon a few weeks ago. For once I'm happy that Luka's sitting down on the couch and looking away from the kitchen, so that he doesn't see me rub the sleepiness from my tired eyes. For some reason Luka has been waking me up at seven o'clock in the morning, every morning, for two weeks straight. I don't mind it, but then I have work afterwards which leaves me super tired by noon.

Suddenly a pure and sweet voice cuts through my thoughts like butter.

"Hey, can I ask you something?" Luka asks.

"Sure, what is it?" I look up towards the couch to see Luka looking over the back of the couch towards me.

"Is Sophie your full name, or is it short for something else?"

"What makes you ask that?" I lower my head slightly.

Luka doesn't answer, instead he taps the pendant on that necklace that he still has around his neck and then he points towards me. I look down at the necklace I have around my neck, that I just put on before Luka and I went for our morning run. It's a simple 10 karat gold chain, with a custom-made charm with the letters S.J. on it. I don't wear this necklace often, just every year on this very day. I smile at him.

"You're good." I drop the plate gently into the sink, walk over to the couch, and sit down right beside him.

"I know, right, so what do the letters stand for?" Luka turns around.

I then clasp the pendant between my fingers, and hold it up to make it easier for him to see it. I let out a slight sigh. "Sophie Jane, that's my full name, Sophie Jane Smith Peterson." I look down at the pendant.

"Sophie Jane. Wow, that's pretty. How did you get a name like that?" Luka asks, with a smile on his face.

"Well, the story goes that when I was born my parents couldn't decide what they wanted to name me. They knew I was a girl right from the start, so they had a whole list full of girl names. My mother wanted to name me Sophie, and my dad wanted to name me Jane. Then, when they couldn't decide which one to go with, it was my brother Daniel who suggested that they combine the two. And that's what they did, though I was always Sophie to everyone around me."

"How come I've never seen you wear it before? It looks great on you."

"That's because I only wear it on this day, because It's my mom's birthday. My mom gave me this when I turned eight. When I pulled it out of the box she became so happy that I started wearing it almost everyday, just so I could see her face light up. But when she passed away, the thought of wearing it every day became too sad for me, but I always wear it on her birthday to make her smile. Oh, and in case you ask, I hated those months when it was just my father running the house."

"What, did he abuse you too or something?" Luka asks, arching one of his eyebrows.

I shake my head, "No, no, it wasn't like that. My dad was a good father to all three of us, but he believed that all Alphas should be male and that the highest ranking that a female could get was Beta, but my mother thought differently. She knew I had the Alpha gene from the beginning, so every day after I shifted when my dad was at work, she'd sneak me out and teach me how to use my instincts. I was almost done with my training when my mom died, and since I already knew my dad wouldn't take over, it was my uncle that had to teach me the rest."

"Oh, well at least you became the Alpha, and proved him wrong." Luka smiles.

"Yea, well it wasn't that simple, Luka," I say, looking towards him with my head lowered slightly.

"What do you mean?" asks Luka, arching one of his eyebrows again.

"Proving myself to my fellow pack members was one thing, but learning how to become the Alpha that was another matter entirely. My dad spent all of his free time grooming my brothers for the role of the Alpha because they were next in line, but then when they all died and I got the job, and I felt like a, like a..." I trail off, unable to find the right words to say.

"Like a blind wolf," Luka interjects.

"Like a blind wolf in outer-space."

Luka chuckles slightly, "So anyway, who taught you how to become an Alpha?" he then asks.

"Ace Summers," I reply with a sigh. I've already told Luka about me dating Ace. He got upset at first, but after I told him it was over between us, he relaxed. "Yea, Ace taught me everything I know. He taught me how to give orders out correctly, how to do my paperwork, though I kind of wished he'd left that part out, and he also taught me lots of other stuff."

"Why did Ace dump you?" Asks Luka.

"He didn't dump me, I dumped him. After my aunt and Shelby took you back for those X-rays on the day we first met, I dumped Ace. He got mad at me, then a few words were said back and forth, then he made our packs enemies and stormed out of the room."

"Why would you do that? He's an Alpha and I'm an Omega. It's obvious that Ace has the better genes. Sophie, don't you want what's best for your pack? Why don't you just reject me and go back to him?" Luka lowers his head.

"Because I don't care about genes, okay? I don't care what strand of DNA you have. Luka, I told you this on the day we first met. I will never reject you, ever. Luka, I love you. I love you for who you are, not what you were, so to me you are what's best for this pack our pack." I lower my head myself.

Luka scoots a little closer towards me. I feel him put his hands under my chin and gently raise it up, so that my green eyes are making contact with his dark brown ones, "You know what, Sophie Jane? I love you too." Luka brings my face towards him, and presses his lips to mine.

A warm heat slowly starts to work its way through my body, blood rushing to my face making me blush. Luka's lips feel like pure silk as they run gently and softly up against mine. My hands, still trying to recover from the shock of it all, shake vigorously at my side. Slowly, I guide my hands to Luka's shoulders and hold on, and the shaking subsides slightly. Even though my skin is hot, goosebumps appear on my arms as Luka goes from my chin towards the top of my head. By the time Luka gets to run his hands through my blond hair, my heart's beating so fast I feel like it's about ready to pop out of my chest and dance around the living room. My lungs are burning for more oxygen, desperately begging me to take a breath.

A few seconds later, we finally break apart. I'm panting. Luka's significantly less puffed than I am.

"Wow. That... was... amazing." Luka looks me in the eye, and sees that I want more. As I slowly lean in towards him, he stops me. "Wait, Sophie. I'm not ready to be marked yet, so we'll have to take this slow, okay?"

I just smile at him and gently push him onto his back.

"I love slow."
