Chapter 5

She woke up in bed alone, the alpha scents still thick in the air. The scents were foreign yet it settled deep into her bones as if it was something her omega had been familiar with for years. Nothing had yet to make her scared, so she didn't bother panicking. The alphas claimed she was their mate, and treated her nicely, she just hoped that the treatment would continue.

As she stretched her arms out she felt the warmth on the bed sheets, they had just gotten up. She couldn't remember a time when she slept so well, the alpha scents and presence had given her the ultimate beauty sleep. With bleary eyes, Anastasia saw Leo Sitting on the desk in the far corner of the room, eyeing some papers. He looked so soft in the plain green garment, tight around his figure but the material thin. At that moment, he didn't look like a strong leader but a normal alpha doing some work. At the sound of Anastasia's movements, his eyes snapped up and gifted the omega with a warm smile. Anastasia’s thoughts were false, such an alpha could never be plain, not with such a face and aura. "My sun, you finally are awake," Leo Stood up and walked towards her, leaning against one of the bedposts. The nickname was new. Sun. Anastasia could only guess that it was a reference to her hair, she wanted to assume further that it was because she was their mate and therefore something they relied on to live just like the ball in the sky, but she couldn't think of herself so highly. "Today we will teach you about our pack." "Okay," Anastasia said, sheepishly moving off the bed. That was something simple. The omega looked forward to learning about this massive pack and figuring out if the rumors of such a peaceful pack were true.

She stood in front of the alpha awkwardly. What was she supposed to do now? The rules that an omega should follow in the high household were still ambiguous to her. "Go freshen up, I'll get you breakfast," a gigantic hand on her back guided her in the direction of the bathroom. She followed mutely, Leo’s touch making her limp. Her omega seemed to love the alpha so much. "Is there anything you would like?" "Oh no," Anastasia called back, she didn't want to be greedy.

She still didn't know what the cuisine was like in this pack. Everything she had seen the previous night had been different from what she was used to. "Anything is fine." Stepping into the bathroom, she didn't realize how big it actually was.

There had been a curtain the previous day operating the room, but it was now pulled back. The small tub she had used the other night looked dwarfistic compared to the pond-sized tub near it. It was filled to the brim with petals and oils, just like yesterday but in a larger capacity. She tentatively steps in, feeling steps beneath her feet she descends further into the tub, the water stopping below her chest. Wow.

She didn't want to keep Leo Waiting so she cleansed herself quickly, stepping in and stepping out in seconds. As she drew herself out, Anastasia mourned the water, pitying it for not getting the proper usage it should. She promised herself that she'd utilize it to its full capacity some other day.

Anastasia skipped out of the bathroom into where they ate the previous day, Leo was already there with an assortment of fruits and pastries. She abruptly stopped her happy movements, unsure if it was disrespectful. The alpha just looked up and smiled at her, finding it amusing. She relaxed just a little.

"Eat, my sun," Leo gestured to sit. She bowed her head politely and made a move to go past the alpha, only for her arm to be gently pulled back and guided onto the alpha's lap.

"Oh," she exclaimed as she looked at the alpha, who was grinning at her. The omega shield away from the gaze but not the touches, the large hands felt so warm against her body and it felt so nice.

Moving away may be seen as disrespectful, and he didn't want the alpha to be hurt by her actions when everything for her so far had been done with care, she didn't want to anyway.

She was maneuvered so that she was in a better position to eat, the position very relaxing. "Eat," a gentle kiss was placed on the back of her head, arms tightening around her," there is so much you need to be told." Anastasia's eyes fluttered shut at such an affectionate move. Such kisses felt more personal than a normal kiss. It still baffled her why she was receiving such affection. She followed the order and ate diligently, the alpha lounging behind her the whole time. Her presence made her eat faster, he was a busy man and Anastasia felt like wasting his time would not be good. 

Leo Guided her into a large office after eating, gesturing for her to sit in the seat on the opposite side of the table. He started rifling through some sheets, trying to find something. Anastasia sank on the chair, the size of it engulfing her.

Her feet didn't even touch the ground, they clearly made it for the alpha. "What will I do in the pack exactly," she asked tentatively. She hadn't been told off for speaking first before so she felt brave.

The alpha had come back now with a book, sitting down on the chair next to her and gesturing for the omega to sit on him instead. The omega weaved around the large desk and sat in Leo’s lap again, shuffling around to get comfortable. From the looks of it omegas got held and carried around everywhere in this pack, she liked it. Such care was never given to omegas back in her pack. "Will I just stay at home and care for our future pups?" "No," Leo Said, placing soft kisses on her neck after he finished rifling through the sheets.
