Omega Lost
Chapter 35

**Elena**

A soft whining sound makes me stir from my fitful sleep. I'm not sure if I could even call it sleeping. My dreams were riddled with the memories of sleeping girls lined up in a room with IVs in their arms. Even worse, just before I woke up I had stopped in front of one of the beds and saw myself lying there.

I hear the sound again but this time it comes with a sudden pain like someone is pulling my hair. My eyes crack open but I quickly close them when they feel so dry that opening them hurts. The sound and the hair pulling come again making me grumble my displeasure.

"Shit. No no, Eli." I hear a deep voice say and the sound makes me shudder.

Sebastian...

Memories of last night flood my mind and makes my whole body heat. A low growl echoes around the room making me startle a little. I roll onto my other side and finally open my eyes. Sebastian's intense stare is focused on me while Eli cuddles against his bare chest.

"Be careful with the sounds you make baby." His words come out like a growl and the space between my legs begins to feel wet.

The dark rings of his eyes grow even bigger. "Sorry."

His lips quirk on one side. "Don't apologize, little mate, it's an honor for me to be able to turn you on so easily. It means we are meant to be."

"All Omegas are born to react to an Alpha." I point out.

He shrugs. "Maybe but you aren't just any Omega. You're my mate and I will never react to anyone the way I react to you. I'll always crave you."

I swallow the lump forming in my throat. My attention is diverted when Eli whines again.

"He must be hungry," I say and move to grab him, but I realize I'm naked under the sheet.

Sebastian pushes himself up and climbs off the bed grabbing Eli once he's standing. He's not wearing a shirt but his bottom half is covered by dark loose pants that look very comfortable.

"I'll go feed him and start on some breakfast. Come down when you're ready." He walks out with Eli in his arms before I can tell him that I have no clothes in here.

I also don't remember where my room was meant to be. What I do notice is a door that's partly open, and isn't the closet. I stand, wrapping the sheet around me, and walk over to the door to peek inside. It's dark but I can make out the shape of a toilet. I step in and search along the wall for a light switch. When I replace it and turn it on I have to blink against the bright light illuminating the room. The bathroom is a lot bigger than it seemed a second ago. There is a long counter with two sinks and two oval mirrors over each one. There is a wall half blocking the toilet from view but the other side of the wall is what makes my mouth drop open.

There is a very big shower but right next to it is a huge bathtub. It looks like it could fit at least four people. However, given Sebastian's size, it makes sense he would need such a big tub. There are jars full of stuff sitting along the edge of it, a lot of which I can't make out what they are. There is a narrow wall between the shower and bath that has towels folded in small shelves. I step inside to get a better look at everything and feel this intense urge to climb into a warm bath. We only ever showered at the Omega School, so this would be the first bath I've had since I was a child. The problem I now face is that I have no idea if I should touch anything in this room, and even if I did I have no idea how to work any of it. I don't see faucet handles like a normal bath or shower. There is some sort of small screen against the wall next to the bath and one inside the shower. Why would he have these large-looking phones in here?

"Hey, there you are." Sebastian's voice startles me enough that I jump a little.

I turn to face him and he smiles.

"Sorry, I was just looking..." I wave a hand around the room.

"Don't apologize. This is your home now too. All of this is yours. Did you want to take a shower?" He moves...well more like saunters over to me until we're chest to chest.

I have to tilt my head back to look up at him but his eyes are so intense that is settle for looking at his chest. He lowers his head and I shiver when he runs his nose along the side of my neck and nipping at the mark he gave me last night. My mouth drops open with a gasp and my legs buckle under me ready to make me drop, but he wraps an arm around me.

He releases a low growl that vibrates against my breasts making them tingle. "As much as I would love for everyone to smell me on you, my family is here to have breakfast with us so..."

I nod against his chest. "Right. Is Eli with them?"

"My mom grabbed him as soon as I opened the door. She loves him already." He chuckles and the sound makes me feel wet between my legs again.

That is quickly followed by something between a growl and a groan to come from him. "You are so responsive. I want to say fuck off to breakfast and stay here to claim you again."

His arms tighten around me so hard that I squeak in surprise. He quickly releases his hold on me and sets me down on my feet again.

"Sorry." He says looking upset when I pull away to look up at him.

I don't like seeing him upset. "Why? You didn't do anything wrong."

"I hurt you."

I shake my head and rest a hand on his chest. His hand immediately covers mine as if he can't help but touch me. I also realize he's wearing a shirt now, and he chuckles when I look at the garment like it offended me. He looked much better without it. Why would he put it on at all?

"I can't walk around my mom and sisters without being properly dressed. My body is only for you to see now." He says and I nod.

"Okay. I agree."

That makes him chuckle again. "I like the possessiveness sweetheart. Now, why don't you take a bath and relax while I get breakfast ready."

"I...I don't know how it works." My face feels hot at my admission but he doesn't laugh at me.

"Sorry, the pack wanted to have the best for the Alpha's house and these panels are big now. It was a learning curve for me too, but we can add custom settings so all you have to do is select one button and that's it. We can figure out Your bath settings now and do the shower ones later." He's fidgeting with the screen thing and suddenly water comes from the bathtub tap. "Put your hand under the water and let me know when the temperature is good."

I shuffle over and sit on the edge of the marble surrounding the tub and stick my hand through the water. It's warm but not warm enough.

"Hotter," I tell him and wait until the change happens.

It's close. "A little more."

He does as I ask and the water changes to something that makes goosebumps rise on my skin. "Perfect."

He types a few more things and the tub starts to rise.

"Those have different bath salts and bath bombs and stuff in them. Just give them a sniff and pour in what you like. There are hair products and soaps over there. All of it is for you, so use as much as you want." He points to each thing and I nod along.

We used scent-blocking products at the school, so this is way more than I'm used to.

"Are you sure? It might make my scent stand out." I tell him lowering my eyes and fidgeting with the hem of the sheet still wrapped around me.

"Our scent." He says and I lift my eyes to give him a confused look. "Once I calmed you, our scents mingled together. You smell like you but also me."

I hadn't noticed. To test his theory I lived my shoulder and breathed in my own scent. He's right. My scent has changed to something new. It's still me but more now. For some reason that makes me smile when I look back at him. "You're right!"

He chuckles and walks back to me wrapping me in his arms and burying his face in my neck. "The best fucking thing I've ever smelled."
