Omega Lost
Chapter 27

**Elena**

I don't know what possessed me to be so bold. Sebastian just looked so uncertain, and I hated that look on his face. It seems that for him action speaks louder than words and I wanted to show him that when I agreed to stay I meant it. I had meant for it to be a simple brush of the lips, but something came over him and then he was wrapping me in his arms smashing us tight together and kissing me hard.

My instinct of being held so tightly by a predator is to freeze and tremble, but it's as if my body knows he isn't a danger to me because I relax. I go limp in his hold except for my hands that are clinging to his shirt against his chest. His lips are harsh and demanding like he wants to own them...possess them. I am weak against his grapple for control and open my lips just slightly. It's enough for him to slip his tongue through and then he's kissing me so passionately and completely that my legs go weak.

His arms tighten to keep me from completely collapsing to the ground but he doesn't stop. Not until a whimper escapes me because I need more. I want more from him, but I don't know what that more is. I've never felt anything like it, but it's like everything inside me is screaming for him to do more than just kiss me. My skin feels feverish so much so that I have an urge to get out of these clothes. They're only making me more hot. I can't stand it...

Suddenly he pulls away and rests his head against mine. Both of us are out of breath and shaking. He's shaking just as badly as me.

"We have to stop." He says gruffly. "I won't be able to stop if we don't and I rather enjoy you when we don't have a house full of people."

I don't know why but I laugh. It's weak and soft sounding thanks to my need for oxygen right now, but it makes him laugh as well.

"Yeah." Is all I managed to get out.

He lifts his head just enough for our eyes to meet.

"I don't think I could let you sleep in another room now. I need you as close to me as possible. If you wanted space you never should have kissed me." He gives me a cheeky smile.

"You kissed me first remember?" I say feeling a little bolder.

His smile grows. "I did, didn't I? I guess you screwed now."

He closes the distance between us and kisses me again quickly before stepping back and taking my hand. "Come on I'll show you the room that was meant to be yours and maybe you can think of something else to do with it."

I nod and let him lead me out of Eli's room and stop in front of the door next to Eli's room. Sebastian opens it and tugs me in front of me so I can step in first. When I do another gasp comes as I take in how beautiful it is. It's simple as they said but there is a huge bed full of pillows and the softest blankets I've ever seen sitting directly in the center of the room. The room was built like a circle with thick drapes tied away from the windows. Everything is so warm and inviting. It's a room from my dreams. Not even that because I never let myself dream too much, not when I didn't know if I was ever going to have a happy life.

"Well, shit," Sebastian says from behind me. "I shouldn't have shown this to you. You won't want to leave now."

The wolf inside me hums happily in this room but the thought of staying away from Sebastian makes me edgy.

"It's beautiful but I still would rather stay with you," I say without turning around.

Instead, I run my fingers over all the soft things and pretty furniture. All of this is way more than anything I had at the Omega School and more than I expected I would have. I had assumed my Alpha would want me to stay with him and fall into his life like I was just another piece in his life and not a person.

Boy was I wrong...

"I do like it though, and so does my wolf. She feels...calm here." I explain the best I can.

Sebastian hums and I can almost feel it. He's closer now.

"My sisters have a room they like to go to when they're feeling restless and need...comfort. They call it a cocoon but I know a lot of Omegas call it a nest. My father didn't like having one in our house, so I built my sisters this little shed in our backyard when I was fifteen. They would go out there and huddle together laughing and reading together. Once my father passed I told them they should build themselves a real nest." He suddenly wraps his arms around me and hurries his nose into the hollow of my neck.

My eyes fall closed and I let myself melt against him. His scent is so relaxing. Like a spicy but smooth scent, I can't explain.

"This can be your nest. You can come here any time you feel overwhelmed and need somewhere to rest." He says and I nod.

"I'd like that. But..."

His body tenses and I shake my head. He worries a lot for an Alpha who can simply command me to do as he wishes and I would listen.

"Can we bring some of these blankets and pillows with us?" I ask him.

There is a rumble from his chest. "Of course. You can have as many pillows and blankets as you want as long as there is still room for me." "Thank you."

"Anything for you. Anything..."

My eyes burn with the urge to cry and I have to swallow back a thick amount of emotion. He's too kind, and that makes me worry a little. The man we saw today...he was bad. I could sense it the second I was close to him. There is an edge to him that had my wolf senses screaming at me. He was a threat but I don't know why or in what way. Even if I did what could I do? He's an Alpha and I'm only an Omega.

Our moment is broken when I hear a cry from Eli. My body goes on alert and I'm rushing from the room in desperate need to replace him. Sebastian is on my heels but I'm faster. I come to a stop at the bottom of the stairs when I see his mom rocking a wide-awake Eli against her shoulder. She sings to him and his little head turns and he hides against her neck. My body relaxes at his sign of acceptance to her. Her scent is calming him.

"I think he's hungry." Sebastian's younger brother says from one end of the couch.

He has the TV on and is playing some kind of game.

"Did you buy any baby formula for him?" Sebastian's mom asks.

"Yes Aria picked some out for us, but we'll have to order more if he doesn't shift again," Sebastian says walking to the dining table where all our bags are sitting.

He digs through the stuff and grabs the powder Aria had bought and one of the new bottles we got. I watch them move around with such ease for I don't know how long. It's as if none of this was weird for them. Me and Eli are basically strangers to them but they have welcomed us without knowing the truth about Eli. Did Sebastian tell them that Eli isn't mine? If not then they think I am an unbounded mother, and yet they don't judge me or look down at me. Aria and Sebastian also didn't question me when I said Eli isn't mine. No one has suspected a thing about me and it's making me feel suddenly guilty. Is it lying if I am simply holding back information? I think it is. If they are going to welcome me then they need to know everything, but will they turn me away when they replace out?

Maybe I could beg them to keep Eli here and safe and just send me away. He would be safe here and I can lead whoever is looking for us away. When will they start to search the packs for us? They have to be searching for us, right? He's proof of what they've been doing. They have to be after us.

Shoot, why did I let them bring us here? I'm putting them in danger, but thinking of leaving all of this behind almost physically hurts. What do I do?

Do I stay and tell them the truth or run?
