65 things get put into action

~Oaks Residence~

Alfie arrived home, making an immediate beeline to his room. If Gabrielle even caught a glimpse...

Ah, he shuddered and quickly locked his door.

Burrowing under his covers he reminscised about last night. A flash made its way up to his ears.

"If only I marked him at that time..." Too bad Donovan always wears a SkinTab around his neck. He was a bit worried about planting hickeys in that area so the neck was mostly left untouched. Mostly.

But the night meant that Donovan must hold him in some romantic regard right? Otherwise he'd never do that during the heat...

His young, immature, jealous mind conjured images of Donovan with other alphas while he was in heat. Or worse, with Mark.

Thankfully they broke up but who knows what-

"Don't think about it. Even if anything happened, it doesn't change Vinny's my Vinny..." Donovan trailed off, frustrated to be so much younger than his omega.

Exhaustion overtook him by the minute and soon he was asleep. He had a heck of a night.

~University~

Easton arrived at the Freshman Orientation looking curious and optimistic. The measly scuffle with the alphas earlier did nothing to dampen his spirits and only elevated his mood.

After all, a measly weak omega was able to defeat an alpha. Three of them at that hehehehehehe.

He looked around for the living breathing Eros incarnate but couldn't find him, he was a bit disappointed but didn't let that get to him.

Suddenly an arm was hooked around him.

"I saw what you did earlier. Good job." Easton whipped his head around, surprised he didn't notice anyone behind him rather than get upset someone entered his space.

"What do you mean?" Easton was a bit unnerved that someone smaller than him too strong to throw off the arm.

"Bart was it? But lemme ask something." Navo whispered in his ear secretly.

"Why are you parading around like a beta when you're obviously an omega, like me?"

Easton felt colder than the arctic. This is dangerous. How was he found out?

"Don't worry, your secret'z safe with me," Navo was so amused he let his accent slide out.

"How'd you find out?"

"Baby, I can smell it on you. And not that disgusting Axe deodorant you use. Seriously switch it out with something else would ya? Omegas can be masculine. Look at me~" Navo proudly gestured to himself, forgetting he was wearing his comfortable airport clothes.

"Really? Children's pajamas. But for real, how'd you find out?" Easton never felt so anxious before. Not after he first made his world debut. Like literally stepping out of his house the first time. If he peeled off the leather jacket, he was sure that it'd be slick with his own sweat. How gross.

Navo mulled over his options. Similarly to the X pair, the R pair was also able to do mind manipulation. He wanted to show Easton how he was able to, but that was a safety compromise. His R instincts are telling him to trust this naive dummy but at the same time...

"I've got a stronger nose. Just like your... boyfriend," Navo managed to do air quotes. "Let's take this conversation else where. You're getting weird looks."

"Are you sure it's not the kid PJ's?" Easton scoffed, irritated. It's literally been one day and his secret's out. Ah, more secrets to keep from his parents. Keeping the secret that the secret's out a secret.

While leaving the orientation but not after making sure they got their attendance recorded, they bumped into Maverick Morris, Alpha X galore.

Instantly Easton melted at the sight of this beautiful man.

"Really? This smelly wolf?" Navo was disgusted and it earned a glare from Maverick. He literally got no sex appeal to him.

"Easton right? I see you've made some friends..." Maverick glared at Navo's arm that was around Easton's neck still. Omega or not, he didn't like others touching what's his.

"I never caught your name," Easton sheepishly answered. Of course he knew who the Alpha X is. Most eligible bachelor in the world. I can't believe I'm talking to him! (internal fanboying from Easton). Thoughts of <M> and the post card left him.

"It's Morris, Maverick Morris," Maverick had a little smirk on his face. He definitely had an affect on his omega.

"Ya hello? This bitch is still here, go get a room. No wait. I need to talk to this omega here." Navo rolled his eyes, impatient. He knew the Alpha X knew Easton was an omega and he didn't sense anyone nearby.

Easton paled and backed off. "No I-I'm not-"

"Save it sweetie. If I know, he knows." Navo had a glint in his eyes. His target is still Maverick, but the mission changed.

Little did he know, there was another omega just like him who was planning the same thing on a plane.
