(Colton Cypraes)
"However, Orion, your parents had you incubated for 3 years before they had you."
"Wait then that'll mean that I was..."
"I'm sorry."
It's been 3 hours since we heard about all that. Orion asked about his parents death but it seems there was no foul play, it was just an accident not something planned.
I brought both him and Eira to his house, I wanted him to stay with me but he just wanted to be somewhere he had a little bit of control. I mean I might seem like I am handling it well but I have so many questions but no matter what I ask the answer will always be the same.
It's funny, it feels like we are living in a fantasy world. I'm an Alpha it seems, and he's an Omega. They actually used animal DNA to come up with all the experiments, a fox and a wolf. I don't get all the terminology but I can see that it's eating him up.
"I don't know anything anymore, Colt. One minute I thought that I was an abnormality, then I'm told I was an experiment gone right. And it's just too much." He's by the sink holding a glass of water staring into nowhere in particular.
It feels like I lose control of my body, it moves on its own. My arms wrap around him from behind. He melts on my touch, relying on my body for support any that he can get.
"I'm scared?"
"Hey, baby it's okay I'm right here okay."
I kiss his neck slightly to assure him, he turns and faces me and hugs me back. All his fears and insecurities I can feel them seep from his body or that's what I think it is.
"I'm sorry, we didn't get to do everything you had planned."
"It's okay there's always a next time, anyway are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah I am."
He stares back at me, he looks so perfect in my arms. I would do anything to have this happen everyday and everytime.
"You keep staring at me as if you want to eat me. There's a baby in the house."
"Come on, not even a tiny little bit just a peck?" wriggling my eyes at him, "Ouch!"
He just pinched me, actually pinched me after I tried acting all nice and sweet.
He moves from my arms and the loss of the warmth makes me crave it even more. When did I become so smitten? I think I'm far gone, and I don't want to come back. Fuck! I'm doomed. He has weaved himself into my body and my entire soul. He has curved himself and created a space in my heart and made it his.
It's almost getting dark and I want to stay for the night. Please tell me to stay, I'll even help with the dinner preparation.
"Are you staying?"
Did he just ask me to stay? Of course I want to stay. I don't even want to leave, ever.
I was too busy imagining what it would be like that I forgot to reply, just when I'm about to open my mouth to reply he beats me to it.
"Colt? You must be in a hurry to go home sorry for assuming that you'd want to stay"
"No!" I reply, shocking myself and Eira who spills her Legos, she looks at us before assuming her creation. I hope my face conveyed how remorseful I was.
"Sorry, I mean, I'd like to stay. Please?"
He bursts out laughing and my heart explodes. He's beautiful. I think I met my soulmate.
"You do realize you're not a teen in high school and I'm not the hot pick, me? Right?"
"Have you seen yourself, baby? You're anyone can have a full package, temptation."
He looks over at Eira. We still haven't told her anything about us. He told me he didn't want to scare her with our relationship. Are we in a relationship ? Can we have nicknames for our relationship? She's still young. I know I wouldn't want to have received that kind of information if I were her.
"We'll tell her when the time is right. You know that right?"
"I don't care. She loves me or likes me I know plus I think she has a clue about us but doesn't know about it yet."
"I hate you."
"I love you too."
"Want to help with dinner, and after umm.. maybe...umm tuck her to sleep too...if you want to of course I don't want to ask you to do a lot you know just like be there when I read her a bedtime story or maybe you'd like to read it to her and maybe turn on her night lights she has different for different days."
"Baby, breath."
He lets out a steady breath and stares at me through his lashes. He's the cutest thing when he's flustered. Cute.
"Yeah I'd like that though I don't know anything so I'll just watch what you do. Maybe next time. It's not that I don't want to, I just don't know how to do it, yet."
I want to help so badly but I just don't know how to. Plus, I'll get to see him in action. When he is in his element.
I feel a tug at my feet when I look down I see Eira holding her stuffed toy. She gestures her hand for me to pick her up.
"Misther, you are staying for dinner."
Did she just ask me to stay or told me to stay? Mh, I don't know but yeah. I must answer her and not in my head, again.
"Yeah princess I'm staying over. We are going to have so much fun together."
"Papa's room is bigger, you could sleep there too."
Orion's face is red from his neck to his face. He's so cute. I pinch Eira's cute face and she giggles. She's mine, my little child. If I could have my way she'd have my surname. She's my winglady, I don't think she knows what she just said, but it's my win.
I wanted to sleep on the couch because of her, my little princess.
"Yay! Double bedtime story for me."
"Not going to happen little girl."
"Meanie."
I tap her nose and she beams at me. I think I've already won her over.
