sits at the kitchen table, avoiding eye contact Why... why do you think he didn't choose me?
sweetheart I'm not going to lie to you he's an ass
sighs heavily, shoulders slumping I just... I thought he saw something in me, you know? I thought there was a connection...
pats your back it's clear to see your beauty but when a male wolf is young they tend to pick their mate on looks than compatibility
looks up, her eyes welling up with tears Looks? Is that all I am to him? Just a pretty face?
that along with your pheromones aren't compatible with his
stands up abruptly, knocking the chair back I can't believe this. I gave myself to him, and all he sees me as is a pretty face.
most men do unfortunately but you're better off without him trust me
takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears You're right. I am better off without him. I deserve someone who sees beyond the surface.
determined, stands tall I won't let this define me. I'll focus on my own happiness and find someone who truly appreciates me.
wipes away the remaining tears, takes a deep breath I need to take my mind off of this. Let's go for a walk in the forest.
no dear we need to work on your scent masking if you want an Alpha to choose you
nods reluctantly, taking a deep breath Fine, but only because I trust you. Show me how to mask my scent.
smiles mischievously good first you mix dirt moss pine needles then the sap of the pine tree add a little bit of water until it forms a paste
nods, listening intently So, I need to mix dirt, moss, pine needles, and pine sap with water to create a paste? Got it.
good just be careful with the needles and sap don't breath it in or ingest it
rolls up her sleeves and gets to work, mixing the ingredients together carefully Okay, let me try this out.
alright I have to admit this works wonders puts on scent masker and waits feel better now?
smiles shyly, looking down at her hands Thank you, Baron. I appreciate your help and guidance. It means a lot to me.
of course I don't like that your hurting and hurting because of a male
pauses for a moment, then speaks softly It's not just about the males, Baron.
you didn't get the full part I'm an omega too
raises an eyebrow, surprised Wait, you're an omega too? That's...unexpected. But it also means...you understand what I'm going through, doesn't it?
yes and look at me isn't is better
pauses, her eyes filling with longing Yes, it is. Your pack accepts you, and you've found your place. I want that too. I want to belong somewhere.
you already belong here if you stay as much as you want
bites her lip, thinking hard I...I think I want to stay here. With you, Baron.
okay any other omegas going to be assigned to you or are you going to have to work
straightens her posture, determined I don't want any other omegas assigned to me. I want to prove that I can handle things on my own.
good okay then let me show you the dispersal grounds, there you can scent mark areas to claim
takes a deep breath, ready to embark on her journey Alright, lead the way, Baron. I'm ready to claim my territory and make a name for myself.
okay so follow me and again be careful with the pine needles and sap
determined, follows Baron into the forest, carefully avoiding the scent masking mixture I won't let anything hold me back. I'll prove myself.
