Omega Lost
Chapter 22

**Sebastian**

I could send something was off with Elena the second she stood next to me. There was a mix of emotions in her scene that told me something was wrong. It wasn't until Aria gave me a pointed look and then glanced at the woman across the counter that I understood. I had to bite back a smile because she was telling me Elena was jealous.

My little Omega isn't happy that another woman is flirting with me. I didn't want to be rude to the woman so I tried to smile politely but clearly that was a big mistake, but I won't apologize if it means Elena will get possessive of me. It also gives me an excuse to wrap my arms around her to prove to the woman that I'm taken.

Elena tenses for a second when my arm wraps around her waist but then she relaxes and softens against me. I wonder if she understands what's going on between us. That there is something more than a simple Alpha Omega relationship between us. Maybe I need to be more clear with her, but how do I do that without overstepping? I don't want to scare her away....

"Hey Sebastian can I talk to you for a second?" I stop and look over my shoulder at Aria.

She raises a brow at me and I know she means business. Man, what did I do wrong now? A pissed-off woman can make you look small and the look she's giving me is fucking terrifying. "Wait her a second," I tell Elena and she nods.

I walk a few feet toward Aria and she immediately pinches my arm. "Ow! What the fuck?" I growl.

"Stop being an idiot!" She hisses at me.

"What are you talking about? Have you forgotten I'm your Alpha?"

She scoffs. "Don't pull that bullshit with me, Sebastian Young. We grew up together, and Alpha or not I will kick your ass."

"Damn woman alright." She sure knows how to humble me with a reminder of how long we've known each other.

"Okay, now you listen to me. Elena doesn't like girls getting heart eyes for you, so you need to stop smiling at every woman you speak to." She says with a finger jammed against my chest. "I was being polite." I sigh.

"Well stop. Look, you have two Omega sisters. You know how sensitive they are. Now imagine that by ten because Elena is possessive of you. She doesn't seem to get why she reacts to things the way she does, but she thinks of you as hers. How would you feel if she starts smiling at every guy who's nice to her?"

My blood boils and my hands clench into a fist at the thought of some guy smiling at her making her blush. I see red for a split second.

"Exactly. Omegas are just as possessive as their Alphas, and if my theory about you two is right and by some twist of destiny you are mates...then it's going to be worse. So be careful. Also, you might want to tell her she is yours and she has nothing to worry about." She adds on.

"I don't want to pressure her..."

"You aren't but Omegas are meant to have an Alpha. It's in her nature to want you and for you to claim her. You don't have to bite her yet, but you can tell her what she is to you."

"I did...sort of."

"Make it clear. Letting her doubt things between you will make her feel instead. Omegas need stability and assurances." She explains and I feel like a fucking idiot.

She's right I have two Omega sisters and an Omega mom. They always need that extra attention and love, and that's between family. They know where they stand with me and they still seek that validation, so how could I expect anything less from Elena?

"I don't want her to think she doesn't have a choice. I don't want to force her to be my Omega officially. Wouldn't that make me like all other Alphas?"

"You aren't like them. She wants reassurance and it's probably driving her crazy being near you and not knowing what to expect from you. Be careful and sure that you want her then tell her who she is to you. If you had gone to the Omega School things wouldn't have moved slow and this is no different." She says a little quieter.

"This is different. What about Eli's father? What if-"

"Did you sense him on her?" She asks and I shake my head. "He most likely abandoned them which means she is going to be even more scared. Tell her you want her and then show her." "How?" I ask.

"I'm going to pretend you didn't just ask that." She walks over to Elena leaving me confused.

She takes Eli from Elena's arms and walks away leaving Elena alone. Her dark eyes fix on me and I feel that tug inside me. It pulls me toward her until I'm standing directly in front of her and she has her head tilted back to look up at me. "Elena..." I don't fight the urge I have to touch her.

I cup the side of her face with my hand and slide it down her neck. I can feel her pulse racing and the movement of her swallowing. My eyes are fixed on her as I slide my hand to the back of her neck and through the strands of her hair. Her eyes stutter closed and she lets out a small shake breath.

"Look at me baby," I whisper and that has her eyes flying open and widening. "You are mine. My Omega. Do you understand?"

"But you said..."

"I didn't want to come on too strong but I can't stand you thinking I want another woman besides you. So listen carefully...you are mine and I am yours." I don't let her say another word before I slam my lips on hers.

As soon as I do it's like a flame has lit inside me and I'm immediately hard and ready to take her to bed. The urge is so strong my head goes a little foggy and I forget where we are. That is until someone whistles and says something about how hot our kiss is. A low growl grows inside me and I'm ready to whirl around and break an arm or two but Elena sets her hand on the side of my face bringing my attention back to her.

"You are my Alpha?" She asks and I smirk at her.

"Hell yeah, I am. Now I'm going to spoil the hell out of you and take you home to meet my family." I grab her hand a pull her with me while she watches me with wide eyes and her lips slightly parted like she's stunned.

Did she really think I wouldn't take her to meet my family? Why wouldn't I? Maybe she's worried about the fact that she's a mom or something but I don't care. I'm not ashamed of her or Eli. I don't care who she was with before me, and who Eli's father is...they're mine now. If the asshole ever comes around I'll beat the shit out of him and tell him he can never have them again. They are mine.

I spot Aria strolling out of one of the baby clothes stores with a bag and Eli wrapped in a soft blue blanket. She spots us and waves us over. When we reach them Eli is awake and struggling in Aria's arms in excitement. I release Elena's hand to grab him and he licks my face playfully. I chuckle and move him into a stronger hold before reaching down and taking Elena's hand again.

Aria is right. If I had chosen an Omega from the school I would have bonded with her immediately. So why am I so scared of chasing Elena away? She let me kiss her. That's good enough for me.

"They have a family bathroom over there. We can go in there and have him shift." She says pointing to a split in the stores.

"Let's go." I tug Elena along until we reach the long area with several doors on each side.

The first one we reach does say family bathroom so I open the door and let the girls go in first. I'm surprised to see that it's huge inside. There are two sectioned-off stalls, but also a seating area, changing table, and all kinds of baby shit. "Alright set him down there and do your thing," Aria says pointing at the changing table.

I do as she instructs and sets Eli down. He sits on his hind legs looking up at me with his little tail swishing behind him.

My eyes focus on his and I let my wolf come forward just a little. "Shift," I order him.

He does and holy shit...
