Her Omega

"Ethan, I have to go to work every day. When I am done with work there, it will be past 6 most of the time. So I will be at home around 6.30 or 7.00 pm. If I am late, you can have dinner and go to sleep. Okay?"

After they were done with opening all the gifts, Viona sighed satisfyingly, turning to Ethan obediently sitting next to her, waiting for her to talk. After they checked all the gifts, she decided to share her lifestyle with him and get familiar with each other's routines.

Viona thought they should ignore the topic 'sex' for the time being since they were not familiar with each other, still awkward. If they were to start with sex, Viona was worried that she might leave a bad impression, making Ethan misunderstand her as a person only greedy for his body.

She was in the age their desires are strong. But it didn't feel pleasant to think about mating with Ethan who was still not used to her. She thought she could wait until that day, mating with him, marking him, becoming a pair.

On the other hand, Ethan didn't mind anything. If Viona wanted to bond with him, he would let her use his body to relieve her desires. His alpha was his everything. He must pleasure them.

Ethan didn't bother to give his ideas, listened to Viona taking, simply nodding and replying with simple answers.

When his answer finished, they would fall into the silence again, then Viona would break the silence again, asking him something.

He was not talkative, still, he was sensible and wished he could also talk with Viona freely like she did with him. Yet, didn't find it helpful or comfortable. He thought Viona might despise him if he were to talk with her like she did.

Old habits can't be changed easily.

Silence was the best answer for him.

Alas, he didn't have anything happy to describe to Viona anyway.

Seeing the atmosphere getting awkward with Ethan immersing in his own thoughts, Viona asked him questions, again and again to keep him focused on her.

"So what about you? I guess you don't go to work?"

Usually, most of the omegas don't work. Sometimes because of family circumstances, omegas would work to earn money. 

But it's hard for them to find jobs because their gender was always treated as troublemaking and only causing trouble.

"I actually work in a restaurant as a waiter. It's been like three months since I started working there."

He said but still didn't look at Viona.

"I see...do you still intend to go there?"

Viona didn't want to stop him from going to work. But she just got a greedy feeling. He was now hers. Of course, working as a waiter wasn't safe for an omega where most of the pervert alphas were looking for poor and weak omegas to spend their nights with.

She couldn't let her husband get into trouble. But didn't want to lock him in her sight either.

Actually, things would be easy if she marked him. But things would not be that simple though. Just because he was marked, she couldn't be sure that no alpha would come to him. 

As an alpha nature, she got possessive of Ethan all of a sudden just because they were married, after thinking about the possibility of him getting into trouble.

At the same time, she didn't want to order him around and lock him at the house either.

"If you want to stay at home, I will stay at home. It doesn't matter. I don't earn much money anyway."

He chuckled and said, but Viona was sure he was displeased about his own answer, forcing to make it sound like he actually didn't care.

"It's okay. I won't stop you. I don't want you to have any trouble. That's it. You can go to work, no need to stay at home all day."

Viona smiled at him and said in a comforting manner. But Ethan's face remained the same. 

That really bothered her.

It felt like he didn't like her.

That actually angered her and also hurt her.

After an alpha thinks this omega is hers or his, it would be hard for them to let go of that feeling. So she couldn't accept him disliking her either.

Because, she had already placed her eyes on this omega who was already hers by law, only left to make hers by marking.

She was an alpha, omegas always wished to live together with.

So she was confident that she could make her husband like her.

That would be the only way to stop him from treating her like just an alpha, not his own alpha.

"I will think about it."

Ethan said, then again it was silence.

"Mmm...Now we are husband and wife. I hope we can have a happy married life. I wish to know you more. Please take care of me."

Viona grinned, seeing the light in Ethan's eyes all of a sudden.

He was feeling really calm.

Her gentle words, pretty smiles made him again feel greedy for the comfort he was feeling at that moment.

'Do alphas treat their marriage partners differently? Will she be kind to me because I am her husband? '

He was still thinking about his old life where he only saw the gloom of his father and brother. He just couldn't get rid of those memories. It was a nightmare he wanted to forget so badly.

But...

It was hard to do so. The fear had grown into a huge tree as it had got hard to cut off too.

He wished at least Viona would be a little kind to him, not knowing, Viona was actually being very gentle with him, only him.

She had got a new world to protect.

Her innocent husband...

'I will mark him when he finally accepts me by himself! After that, he will be my omega!'

She had to wait for the right time, so her life would become perfect with her omega next to her.
