"Alright, Adrianna. We'll get you what you need. Just remember that we are here to help you," Duncan said calmly.

I groaned out my reply. The cramps were coming back with a vengeance.

They left the room reluctantly, and someone brought back a bottle of meds and a cell phone. I didn't bother opening my eyes fully at this point. It hurt too much. I blindly reached over and grabbed the phone.

I squinted out of one eye and dialed my mother's number. She answered before the first ring could even finish.

"Momma, it's me," I whimpered out.

"Oh, Adrianna! What did you do? I told you never to attend the Were Gatherings," she said hysterically.

"I don't care about my wolf secret, Momma. Something else is wrong with me." I said, cutting her off.

"It was never about your wolf! We hid you because you're an omega. You were born during an eclipse, but we hid you so you would have a chance at your own life," she revealed hurriedly.

My mouth dropped open.

What the hell?

Were those alphas not delusional after all? I felt like a fool. But why wouldn't my parents tell me who I truly was? My heart shattered at her betrayal.

“I’m an omega?”

"Your wolf didn't show up because you were never around any alpha males to trigger your omega hormones," she said, sobbing into the phone.

It felt like a knife twisting into my heart. All this time, I could have been normal, and part of a pack. I wasn't defective or broken. Tears streamed down my face, and I angrily swiped them away.

"How could you let me believe I was broken? All this time, you knew what I was and didn't tell me," I said, my voice shaking with emotion.

"I'm sorry, Adrianna! I wanted you to have a normal life," she cried.

"Well, it's not up to you to decide," I said bitterly, hanging up the phone.

I cried out as another wave of pain hit me stronger than before, my insides clenching up on emptiness. I wiped away the rest of my tears and swallowed down the pain meds. The conversation with my mom kept replaying over and over in my head.

I can't believe my parents knew all this time and didn't even bother telling me. I felt like I lost a part of my life that I could never get back. So many nights wasted, crying over something that could have been easily fixed. How could I ever forgive my parents for keeping a part of me secret from even myself?

I needed a distraction until the pain meds kicked in. I called out softly, "Duncan?"

The door opened almost immediately, and he came barreling in, a box of tissues in hand. I giggled softly despite my tears and sadness.

It was obvious he had stayed by the door this whole time. My heart warmed at his thoughtfulness. He reminded me of a cuddly bear with a calm, centered energy.

He handed me the box and sat down next to me. He stroked my messed-up hair while I blew my nose. Suddenly, he pulled me into his lap, encircling me with his giant arms. I stiffened at first but then gave up the fight. It felt nice to be held like this after the turbulent emotions lately.

"What's wrong, Adrianna?" He asked me softly.

"I just feel like my whole life was a lie, you know?" I replied quietly. The shock of the truth was wearing off. In its place was a yearning for something to put out the fire blazing in my core.

I peeked up at him, gazing into his warm chocolate eyes. Being around him put me at ease. Something about his large presence made me feel safe. He smiled down at me and then unexpectedly captured my mouth with his lips.

I closed my eyes, moaning. It felt so good compared to the sadness I had been feeling earlier. He parted my lips with his tongue, kissing me deeply and thoroughly. His hands played with my hair and roamed my bare back. I shivered deliciously. His touch was feathery light.

Then, he gripped my naked legs, opening them and turning me so I could straddle his lap, and we were face to face. With our height difference, I was more at his chest level. He leaned down and kissed me, slowly exploring my mouth.

I couldn't wait anymore. My pussy was drenched with slick and throbbing with need. He sensed my urgency and pulled down his pants, his massive cock springing free. I gasped in shock.

I felt suddenly unsure of myself. I never had sex before, and his dick looked obscenely large. I felt nervous, but my body was built for this, built for an alpha cock. At least I knew this interesting fact about omegas. I took a deep breath, and I looked up at Duncan with wide eyes.
