Chapter 22: Marked
*Ein's POV*
"What?" (Y/N)'s head snapped towards me so fast I thought she was trying to kill herself.
"Well, this way, I'll be able to help you whenever during your suspension!" I grinned at her.
'Also to get closer to you and your dad,'
"Uh." (Y/N) jumped to her feet, "I'll be... Right back."
She quickly ran out of her room, soon after I heard her feet thumping down the stairs. I got up off her soft and cozy, twin-sized bed with (F/C) blankets and started looking around her room. She obviously really liked (F/C) and (2/F/C), the wall opposite the door was (F/C), and the rest of the walls were (2/F/C), and the ceiling was white. Beneath my feet was a light (F/C) fuzzy rug. I walked over to her small desk and scanned it, my eyes landed on a picture of a younger (Y/N) with two adults, one I recognized to be her father, just without ears and tail. The man had short (H/C) hair and bright (E/C) eyes just like (Y/N). The woman had dark brown hair and soft black eyes and a light complexion. The couple was grinning as they held up the little girl. I picked it up and examined their faces; nothing looked forced. They were genuinely happy.
'Never find a picture like that in my house,' I scoffed.
I was slightly... Jealous. My father yelled at my mother all the time, the only reason he stays is that he has nowhere else to go and because they love each other. I put the picture back down and examined the rest of her desk. She had a couple of books lying out, some gel gens, and paper.
'I wonder if she likes to draw,' I picked up a blue gel pen and twirled it in my fingers before setting it back down.
I heard footsteps coming back up the staircase, so I went back to my spot on the cozy bed. Suddenly (Y/N)'s father walked in, but he wasn't showing his ears and tail.
"So, this is the boy, huh?" Her father examined me.
I sat still and let him, the last thing I needed was for her dad to hate me.
"Dad, this is Ein. Ein, this is my dad, Kevin." (Y/N)'s hand went back and forth between us.
"If you think I'm going to let a boy into this house your-" Her father's face was red with anger until he turned and looked into his daughter's eyes.
His face softened as he looked at (Y/N), her (E/C) eyes were dull and her face droopy. He took a deep breath before exhaling. He turned back to me, glaring. As our eyes met, I felt a slight shiver. It disgusted me.
'(Y/N) got her power from him!' I quickly pushed down my shock, I didn't want him to know.
"Fine. I trust you, and if you trust him... Then I guess I do too." He then started out of the room as he beckoned over his shoulder, "Ein! Come!"
"Yes, sir!" I jumped off the bed and followed him.
I heard the springs on (Y/N)'s bed squeak as she flopped on it. Her dad led me to the guest room.
"You are to sleep here, and only here! Well, unless you want the couch. But this room is yours while you stay," Her father spun on his heel and looked me in the eyes, the shiver I got from his (E/C) orbs was revolting. It took everything I had to not gag.
"I'm only allowing this for my daughter, she's in pain right now, and I can't help her. Don't get any ideas." He growled.
"Sir, the only reason I'm here is that your daughter has been the best Alpha I've ever had. I'm the Omega, but she treats me as she would any other werewolf. All I simply wish is to return her kindness." I told him.
I wasn't lying. I was returning her kindness. For my own favor.
Her dad smiled at me softly, "well... Thank you, Ein, just. I care for my baby, SO I SWEAR IF YOU DO ANYTHING I'LL-"
"DAD!! STOP EMBARRASSING ME!" (Y/N) yelled from her room.
"You have been warned." Her father glared at me before he left the room and went downstairs.
I looked around the room; it was dull. The walls were off white with one tan wall, and the ceiling was white. There was one window that pointed out to their backyard.
'Why is her dad trying to appear as a human?' I turned and walked back to (Y/N)'s room.
She was curled up on her bed, crying silently. I walked over to her and sat on her bed, rubbing her back. I leaned over to her and whispered in her ear.
"You didn't do anything wrong (Y/N)." My hand swept across her face and wiped away her tears.
"I know... But... Why didn't she listen to me? I just feel... Alone...like no one is listening to me." (Y/N)'s lips quivered as more tears swelled in her (E/C) orbs.
"You're not alone," I wrapped my arms around her as I laid behind her and put my head slightly over her shoulder so I could still talk to her, "I'm here, and I'm listening."
I took a deep breath, 'Humans are most vulnerable when they're emotionally unstable; this could either guarantee my title as Alpha or as the Omega permanently.'
"You can lean on me, and only me. I swear to you I won't leave your side (Y/N)."
(Y/N) turned around and looked into my eyes. I smiled at her. My tail flicked as the shiver ran through it. I wiped away more of her tears.
"You only need me and nobody else. I can protect you from anything and everything. I'll help you, no matter what."
Her warm shakey arms wrapped around my chest (Y/N) buried her face into the fabric of my shirt. She wasn't crying anymore. My lips curled into a smile as I hugged ber back, pulling her body closer to mine. My smile widened as her scent mixed with mine and eventually was overpowered.
'She's marked, now all that's left is to make sure she only counts on me.'
