“Well, while I can’t say that it is unheard of, it is definitely rare. Especially outside of a pack with alphas that could have attributed to your parentage. Tell me, were they supportive of all the quirks that come along with being an omega? Nest building and things?”
“Oh . . . well, it’s not that they weren’t supportive, more so that they couldn’t be. We didn’t have the funds to buy extra things to use as nest materials, so I’ve never built one until I came here. Storm helped me.”
“You and Storm seem very close.”
“I like her. She is so sweet and kind to me. She stepped in when I got here and one of the other omegas was making me second-guess coming to the ORA. We are sharing a room currently.”
The omega teacher’s eyebrows rose on her forehead so far, they disappeared under her wispy bangs. “Sharing a room? And how is that working out for you two?”
“Really well, actually! We are just waiting for a bed to be sent up for me, but we ended up falling asleep in the nest room yesterday, so it didn’t really matter.”
“I see. And her scent doesn’t bother you, or yours, her?”
“Not at all. I think she smells wonderful. And when the two of ours combine, it makes me feel happy. I don’t foresee us having an issue at all.”
The teacher hummed under her breath. “Okay, well, I am glad that it’s working out for you.” Before I could respond to her, I heard some noise coming from behind me. The next class was arriving. “Alright, well, I have to get this next session started, so let me grab some textbooks here from last year. When you have time to read through them, it should help get you caught up to where we are.”
“Thank you so much!” I gushed gratefully, taking the books from her.
“You’re welcome. Now, here is a pass to get you into your next class. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
I waved goodbye and turned to leave. My next class was Pack Dynamics, and I had a feeling that I was going to be floored by even more information. Unfortunately, I never made it to class to find out if that was true.
Chapter11
Storm
Where was Riley? Class was about to start any minute now and she still wasn’t here. She must really be getting a lot of information from our last teacher. Several of my friends came over and tried to sit in the seat beside me, but I turned away each one; I saved this seat for Riles.
The teacher entered and moved to his desk, shuffling papers. Around me, my classmates settled into their seats. He cleared his throat and the remaining chatter died out. But before he could say anything, abangsounded through the room. Without looking, I knew exactly who it was and rolled my eyes.
Hilary stood in the doorway. Her face wrinkled in her permanent sneer as she surveyed the room. Her cold eyes landed on me and the empty seat beside me, and a cruel smirk crossed her lips. Practically flouncing, she strolled across the room and slid into the desk.
“That’s Riley’s seat,” I spat under my breath.
She arched one perfectly shaped brow. “Is it? Well, I don’t see her name on it, nor do I seeher. I’m sure I can take this seat.”
“Hilary—”
“Okay, class, settle down,” the teacher said, cutting me off. “Now that we are all here, let’s get started, shall we?”
I raised my hand. “Actually, we aren’t all here. Riley Druman is still in our last class. The teacher asked that she remain behind for a moment.”
“Ah, right, well, I cannot wait for her. I’ll get her caught up when she arrives. Welcome class to your first day of Pack Dynamics. I know most of you grew up in packs and this information may seem pointless. However, I assure you, this is important. Learning how everyone fits into a pack and how you can help with those adjustments is paramount. Let’s start with learning a bit about the pack structure you all came from. Let’s start over here,” he said, pointing to the opposite side of the room.
Each omega stood up in order and introduced themselves and who was all in their parents’ packs. I tried to pay attention, but my worry about Riley was eating me alive. Where was she?
“Looking for your little girlfriend?” Hilary sneered under her breath.
“She’s not my girlfriend,” I defended her. “She’s my friend.”
“Mmm, of course she is.”
“What is that supposed to mean, Hilary?”
“Oh, nothing. I have eyes. I see the way she looks at you and you look at her. It will never work, you know. Omegas do not belong together. Especially omegas from such different social groups. She’s not like us, Storm. We are better than that.”
I turned my head to her in shock. Her expression was one of self-satisfaction. She was proud of what she was telling me, like she had revealed an enormous secret.
