Work Text:
Kaeli finally reached the table where her friends were waiting for the next class to start. She sat down and tried to ignore the stares she received.
The cafeteria was full of students wearing the traditional, full-time school uniform for alphas and omegas. A dress shirt, blue jacket, and red tie were mandatory, but the blue jacket could be exchanged for a sweater vest of the same color. Unfortunately, omegas were required to wear skirts, even male primary omegas. Kaeli definitely hated this rule, but there were worse ones. And of course, alphas were required to wear pants. Both skirts and pants could be black or dark blue, like the jacket.
Kaeli couldn't deny that uniforms had their charm, especially on alphas, especially on two specific alphas.
Kaeli cleared her throat and smiled at Yuki and Freya, still ignoring the stares and the laughter they were both holding back.
“So, any news about the band? Did anyone say about leaving the band this time?”
The friends exchanged glances, seeming to find Kaeli amusing, but Freya shrugged, leaning her elbows on the table.
“Vantalina didn’t show up at the beginning of class if that’s what you’re asking.”
Her older friend was perfect as always, her uniform, her hair, even her light makeup. Freya was like that, just perfect. She was a perfect omega without trying and who drove many alphas crazy.
Kaeli nodded in disappointment while arranging her long hair purposefully to cover her neck. Her friends raised their eyebrows. Kaeli wished she could cover her odiferous glands, she knew she smelled of nervousness at the moment, as well as something else.
“Too bad, I don’t th-"
Yuki, unlike Freya and even Kaeli, didn't care about her uniform at all. Sometimes, just because the shorter omega didn't wear a tie or wore alpha pants under her skirt, depending on her mood and how much she wanted to irritate the teachers. Today the uniform was wrinkled and the omega's tie was tied around her arm. Her short yellow hair and heavy makeup also lived up to the rebellious style that made the inspectors' hair stand on end.
Yuki squinted her eyes at Kaeli.
“Where were you in the beginning of the class?”
“Uhm….” Kaeli held herself back from rubbing the odiferous glands on her wrists nervously. “I-I was late, I woke up l-late.”
“You were already awake when we left.” Freya accused.
“Well, I went back to sleep and overslept, okay!?” Kaeli snapped defensively. The omega looked at the table, unable to bear their malicious looks.
“So, you’re going to pretend you’re not marked with the scent of the two hottest alphas in boarding school?!”
Hottest alphas in this boarding school
Kaeli held her tongue to keep from telling Yuki to stop talking about them like that, jealousy rising in her chest, and focused on the rest of the sentence.
“What… what do you mean?”
Both omegas snorted and laughed.
“Kaeli… you literally smell like those two from miles away. Everyone in the class was staring at you, didn’t you notice!?”
Now Kaeli couldn’t hold it in anymore. She rolled up the sleeves of her white dress shirt and her right thumb went straight to the odiferous gland on her left wrist.
“No, I…. I didn’t notice.” The stares. About their scent, Kaeli was well aware.
They were the best scents Kaeli had ever smelled in her life. She could never get tired of smelling them and when the scents mixed together it was heaven for the little omega, so she didn’t care if her clothes smelled like them. It was so easy to lean her head towards her right shoulder and take a deeper breath just to smell their scents mixed together. Kaeli wished she could do that right now, it would definitely calm her anxiety, but Kaeli didn’t want to deal with questions about what that meant.
“You smell like a marked omega, an omega with a mate.” Yuki stated, now a little desperate for Kaeli to understand their point.
Freya raised her eyebrows and looked at how Kaeli rubbed her odiferous glands on her wrist nervously. Kaeli brought her hands to her lap.
“Two mates actually.” Freya stated.
Yuki nodded in disbelief.
“Right? That’s weird, alpha scents aren’t supposed to mix with each other.”
Kaeli shrugged and smiled nervously.
“Well, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Then the two omegas fell silent. Kaeli couldn’t take it anymore and looked up at their faces. Yuki and Freya were staring at her with half-closed eyes as if to say "are we idiots to you?"
Yuki smiled at Kaeli who didn’t like that at all.
“You know what, if you’re not going to tell us, I’ll go to the alpha's table myself and ask those two hot alphas why my friend stinks like them.”
Freya laughed and linked her arms, sitting closer to the omega.
“I’ll go with you, just as support.”
Kaeli rolled her eyes and gave up trying not to tell what she would probably find out sooner or later. She knew Yuki wouldn’t be ashamed to cross the courtyard and go to the alpha area. Even if it wasn’t recommended for omegas to go there.
“Urgh! Okay! Fine! They marked me because of Dolce, happy!?
“Dolce? From our year? Dolce Dropscythe who barely had her first heat, Dolce Dropscythe?! The two sexiest richest alphas in this school were jealous of her?”
Yuki fired off the questions in disbelief. Even Freya’s mouth dropped open in disbelief.
“Well, it wasn’t jealousy, it’s just that Dolce just went to hug me and she still forgot that she’s an alpha and left her scent on me.”
Well, it was hard to explain to her friends that her alphas thought Dolce wanted to spend her first heat with Kaeli and make her her mate, and, as a new and arrogant alpha, Dolce thought she could have the world at her feet. Kaeli disagreed. She was sure Dolce was just having a hard time adjusting to being an alpha. It would also be hard to explain that Seibelle and Azealia dealt with Kaeli's opinion by bathing the omega in their pheromones while... well... fucking her in the best way possible. Kaeli hoped that by the time her friends got back to the dorm they shared, the smell would have already dissipated through the open window she left.
"I didn't know what you two were having was serious," Yuki commented, impressed. "I thought what they were doing was just a favor for you."
Kaeli just shrugged. It also wouldn't be easy to explain that Kaeli and the two alphas weren't just helping each other in heat, it was more than that. Much more.
Freya gave a mischievous smile.
“Oh, then the next time Dolce comes to say hi, she’ll know not to get too close.”
Kaeli laughed nervously.
“Well I wouldn’t say that, I mean, it’s not that big of a deal… right?”
Their reactions would be funny if Kaeli was so nervous about the conversation. Yuki choked on her own saliva. And Freya frowned.
“You stink like them to the other alphas. It’s already strong for us, imagine for the alphas. Didn’t you see the faces the alphas made in the class?”
“Oh…”
Kaeli pouted, wishing she had paid more attention to her own as she entered late for class. Kaeli was shy so looking around in a room full of people staring at her wasn’t her strong point.
But… Stinking? Was she smelling bad to other people? No one had marked her before.
Yuki reached her hands up on the table, making her stop fidgeting with her wrist. Kaeli hadn’t even realized she was doing it on top of the table again.
“It’s okay, Kaeli. It’s not bad to us, in fact you smell like you, but…” And then her friend gave her that annoying little smile. “Their scent is so strong on you that it covers yours. It’s pleasant to us, but not so much to the other alphas. Like a mate mark. Nothing to worry about.”
Kaeli bit the inside of her cheek to keep from smiling widely. To the others, it was as if she were a marked omega, with mates. Happiness was exploding in her stomach.
“I think the reason for all that is coming.”
And, with Freya’s words, Kaeli looked over her shoulder, towards the courtyard with the other students, alphas and omegas, and when she saw who her friend was talking about, she turned quickly with wide eyes.
Dolce was walking towards their table, smiling at Kaeli like there was no tomorrow. Damn! This would not be good… for Dolce.
“What’s up?” Yuki asked with a laugh. “Are you going to get in trouble if you talk to Dolce?”
Kaeli shook her head, still in silence.
Freya pressed her lips into a thin line.
“Kaeli isn’t worried about herself, she’s worried about the new alpha who’s stupid enough to get close to an omega who’s scent-marked by not just one, but two alphas.”
Yuki opened her mouth to speak, but the alpha scent hit them when Dolce finally reached their table. They were shocked at how pleasant it smelled. Dolce shouldn’t be giving off that many pheromones around many omegas. Dolce was still new to being an alpha and was only 15, almost 16 years old. To other alphas, even older omegas, because Dolce had just introduced herself to, she was like a baby in diapers. Her scent wasn’t as strong as it should be yet, and she was still almost as weak as a beta. In time, her alpha hormones would stabilize to the level they should, but until then… Dolce was an inferior alpha.
“Hey, guys!”
Dolce said excitedly, sitting next to Kaeli, closer than she should have been.
Kaeli didn't really blame her, Dolce had introduced herself too late, she still didn't understand how the dynamics between omegas and alphas worked yet. Making those two possessive women understand that was the problem.
Dolce wore the uniform like everyone else there, but unlike the omegas, she now wore pants and her uniform looked new and clean, a little bigger than it should be. She probably picked up a new pair of uniforms from the principal's office.
"Hii Dolce." Freya greeted her with a tense smile.
Yuki skipped the tags and held out her hand for a high-five.
"What's up Dolce, the new alpha around!"
Dolce laughed at Yuki's informality and they high-fived across the table.
Kaeli shrank into herself, slightly nervous. Her thumb returned to her wrist as Dolce looked at her. Kaeli then felt the alphas' pheromones change from pleasant to seductive, lighter than they should be, softer than the strong and charismatic scent of her alphas, not to mention weak. Kaeli raised her eyebrows at Dolce's blatant attempt to seduce her.
She thought yesterday's meeting was an accident, but maybe Kaeli would have to give her some reason for what her alphas said this morning. Dolce was a new alpha, eager to get into someone's pants.
And that someone was Kaeli.
Kaeli didn't want to put Dolce in danger, but since the little alpha was a bit arrogant, thinking she could go around releasing pheromones as if Kaeli was some random omega who wasn't marked, maybe putting Dolce in the line of fire wouldn't be so bad.
"Kaeli?! Aren't you my friend anymore?" Dolce asked with a small smile and open arms expecting a hug.
How Dolce was able to ignore her alphas' scent was a mystery to Kaeli.
‘Arrogance is the middle name of new alphas,’ Seibelle had said yesterday.
"Oh I wouldn't do that if I were you, Dolce-a." Yuki advised with amusement, leaning her arm on the table and her hand on her face, to watch the show that was about to happen from the best seats in the house.
Dolce looked at her pretending not to understand.
“I just want to hug my friend, Yuki.”
Freya looked at Kaeli, hoping the omega would stop Dolce before she did something stupid, but what happened next left the tall omega speechless.
Kaeli finally looked away and smiled at the alpha who took this as a cue to throw her arms around the omega.
Freya wanted to slap Kaeli for being such an idiot. Her friend didn't move her arms, didn't hug the alpha back, as if she knew about the…
“Oh boy! This is going to be awesome.” Yuki muttered amusedly and Freya looked where her friend was looking.
…a storm coming towards them.
Even Freya flinched when Seibelle slammed her open hand on the table, making a loud noise, and silencing half the courtyard.
Dolce didn't care about Meloco's protests as she got up from their table and went out to try again to win over Kaeli who was across the courtyard looking so beautiful, even if she smelled horrible. As she said to her omega friend, Dolce wasn't going to give up on her huge crush just because those arrogant alphas were helping Kaeli with her heat, that didn't mean anything. Dolce was an alpha too. Okay, she was poor as fuck compared to the older alphas, and she knew that her position in the alpha hierarchy was the worst, but Dolce had been in love with Kaeli since they met in freshman year. Those alphas didn't know her like she did, those alphas didn't deserve her.
So, she left... and maybe Meloco was right that she was going to die.
Dolce realized the trouble she was in when the older alpha's big hand hit the table and made a loud noise. That's when she also noticed the waves of anger emanating from them, even without having to turn around and see. That smell, strong and full of possessiveness and anger, was enough to make Dolce shit herself.
Kaeli, on the other hand, wasn't scared, in fact, she knew the exact moment her alphas saw Dolce sit next to her and felt, even from afar, the anger and possessiveness from the smell of both of them.
"I'm sorry Dolce, but I can't miss this."
They were simply so hot.
Seibelle's cold face, Azealia's dark eyes on fire, both of them looking at Dolce as if they were going to kill her, added to their posture and that uniform. And like never before, their smells became more pungent, like a burning fire.
Kaeli didn't feel afraid of her alphas, or even of a pseudo-fight, Dolce's scent was weak enough not to cause any major damage.
In fact, Kaeli felt like she was going to explode with lust.
Seibelle's brown hair was so long that it covered the uniform logo on the blue sweater on her chest. Her makeup was light, even on her lips. Seibelle had the sleeves of her dress shirt rolled up to her elbows and her sweater held the red tie that contained a shiny pendant of the student council. The alpha's jaw was set, hard, as if she was trying not to growl.
Azealia didn't look much different from the other alpha. Her hair was short and layered, in a dark black tone like the night. She didn't wear a sweater or coat, just the dress shirt and red tie, which contained the captain of the basketball team. Her eyes never left Dolce, as if the mere sudden movement of Dolce the alpha would tear apart that little alpha with her fists that were in her pants pocket.
Seibelle leaned towards Dolce, supporting her weight with the same hand that had palmed the table, and in a husky voice said:
“Are we disturbing something?”
Dolce tried to release more of her scent, to try to intimidate them, but it was practically imperceptible. She swallowed hard, but still smiled arrogantly.
“Actually, yes.” And as if that wasn’t enough, Dolce approached Kaeli even more, putting her arm around the omega. “Could you leave us alone!? I have serious matters to discuss with her.”
Now, the courtyard full of students was completely silent. Dolce could feel everyone’s eyes on her and the alphas, waiting for her reaction. Her heart was racing so fast, but Dolce had to maintain her position if she wanted to claim Kaeli for herself, if she wanted to show the rest of the school that she was now an alpha and that they had to respect her as such.
For the first time since they arrived at the table, Seibelle and Azealia took their eyes off Dolce and looked at Kaeli, as if they were asking for permission, as if what Dolce said was nothing. Dolce's stomach dropped when Kaeli pulled away from her and her arm fell dry as there was nothing left to hold on to.
In the next second, Dolce felt Azealia's hands grip her tightly by her new coat. She tried to resist, but Azealia was an incredibly strong alpha and easily pulled her out of the chair, away from the omega. When she realized, Dolce was swinging her feet in the air, inches away from Azealia's face. The alpha's face remained cold and serious. A frightening growl came from the alpha's throat that almost made her whimper.
"Didn't you smell us on her or do I have to break your fucking nose to make it work again?"
Dolce's hands trembled as she held the alpha's strong hands. She swallowed hard, searching for her voice.
"I-I didn't-"
"What's wrong, puppy? Aren't you brave enough now?"
"Stop!"
Even with the scream, Azealia took a second longer to stop staring at her. Dolce almost cried with relief when she saw the alpha of her pack coming towards them. The situation became more tense when Seibelle moved from Kaeli's side to stand between the alpha and Dolce and Azealia. Seibelle crossed her arms and gave a low, warning growl.
The alpha of the pack that Dolce now belonged to, stopped in front of Seibelle, her face anguished. The alpha had her black hair tied in a bun and wore the full uniform, clean and well-pressed, her glasses on the tip of her nose. Dolce's eyes widened when she smelled the familiar scent of her alpha. She wasn't trying to compete with the alphas of the student body, her scent was soft and as calming as an alpha could get.
“Azealia and Seibelle, I’m sorry for Dolce’s behavior, but please don’t hurt her, she’s still young, she has a lot to learn.”
She raised her hands, exposing the glands on her wrists, and bowed her head in submission. Dolce felt ashamed that she was the reason the alpha she respected so much was humiliating herself in front of everyone.
She was highly respected among the student council members, as she had once been the council president and had stepped down to take charge of the school's arts council, giving way to Azealia, her vice president. Not to mention, was one of the most well-controlled and gentle alphas in the school, she had never had to get into a fight, not even over her omega.
Perhaps that was why Azealia had put Dolce down on the ground almost immediately, but she was still holding her coat in one hand. Dolce shivered as Azealia dragged her coat like a dog. They stopped next to Seibelle, facing her. Dolce lowered her head, not being able to look into her alpha's eyes, feeling small next to the taller alphas.
“I hope you take care of this puppy, or the next time she tries to seduce our omega, we’ll deform her face.”
Every student in the courtyard sighed. A message was given to everyone in the school: Kaeli Bodacious belonged to Seibelle and Azealia Ginjoka.
“And I won’t get in her way.”
Pleased with the answer, Azealia threw Dolce into her arms, who caught her before she could hit the ground. Dolce didn’t do much for her dignity and hugged the alpha, whimpering. She was safe now.
Everyone went back to minding their own business when the alpha stopped soothing Dolce and led her out of the courtyard, her small art group following behind them.
Kaeli couldn't stop staring at the alphas who were still watching them walk out of sight, she hoped she was doing a good job of covering her scent. Maybe she could blame it on her upcoming heat, but that scene had excited her so much.
“Oh!” Kaeli gasped when she felt a kick on her right shin. She looked at Freya. “Hey!”
Freya didn't look happy with her at all. The omega growled softly at Kaeli, her scent was a little sour as if the omega was very angry.
“Go calm those two down and then we'll talk.”
Kaeli frowned, still rubbing the sore spot.
“Why do we need-“ Another kick, but this time on her left shin made her hurry to get off the table. “Oh, okay, okay!”
After another kick that made her leg tremble, Yuki laughed softly behind her hand, already amused more than anything, Kaeli left the table. Freya was right, they needed to calm down. Their pheromones were still strong even though there was no threat around.
“Hey.” Kaeli murmured as she stood in front of them, her back to the courtyard full of students gossiping about what happened. “It's okay, she's gone.”
The two alphas looked at her. Kaeli was startled by their widened eyes, filled with that angry haze. Now that Dolce was away, they could show how affected they were.
They were so intimidating, urgh! So sexy when they were angry. Forget what she said, Kaeli didn't want to calm them down.
She pouted and hugged them both, her arms tightening around their waists, and she felt the alphas sink between her shoulders. Kaeli almost moaned. The alphas smelled delicious to her, Kaeli just couldn't explain how comfortable, warm and safe they made her feel inside. Seibelle smelled like sandalwood and Azealia like pine. And when their scents mixed it was like being in the middle of a storm and a fire.
Delicious
"Do you believe us now, Kae?"
Azealia’s low, husky voice hit her hard.
They hadn’t touched her yet and it was driving her crazy. Kaeli snuggled closer, her hands gripping Azealia’s shirt and Seibelle’s sweater tightly.
“Yeah, you were right.”
Seibelle silently leaned into her, into her neck, and sniffed deeply at her odiferous glands. Even with her face hidden in their shoulders, Kaeli felt her face heat up from the intimate action being done in public. Kaeli was their omega now and she knew she had to get used to it, but sniffing someone’s neck was something they didn’t usually do in public and..
Seibelle’s deep growl into her pierced ear ran down her spine like ice water.
“You smell like her.”
Kaeli held back a laugh.
Territorial and possessive beasts.
She pulled away, just a little, and looked up, into the still wild eyes that made Kaeli hot, boiling.
As Simba said, “I laugh in the face of danger.”
Well, at the moment, Kaeli wanted to do the same.
Her gaze fell to the red ties, which were right in front of her, at eye level, and her blood boiled inside.
Each of Kaeli's hands slid down her alphas' tall, slender bodies until they reached their ties. Kaeli shrugged and raised her eyebrows, challenging them, before pulling both red ties, making the two alphas lean towards her. She didn't miss how surprised they both were by her attitude.
Blinking cutely, just a little, the omega let her scent show the excitement she was feeling.
“Well, what are you going to do about it?”
Kaeli bit her lip to hold back the smile that wanted to come out as Seibelle's gaze darkened and Azealia narrowed her eyes.
Azealia opened her mouth, and Kaeli was waiting for that pretty mouth to say the dirtiest things to her, but someone behind them cleared their throat loudly and exaggeratedly.
“I said to calm down Kaeli, not go into heat in front of everyone.”
Kaeli groaned, rolling her eyes at Freya’s speech, and loosened her ties, disheartened by the mood being broken.
The alphas exchanged a look. Kaeli frowned because she still didn’t know how to decipher these silent conversations between alphas. Then, Seibelle stepped away, fixed her tie in place, and took her hand. Azealia put her arm over Kaeli’s shoulders and followed the alpha who had started walking, taking Kaeli with her.
“Come.”
Kaeli met their eyes, not understanding. Seibelle was leading them out of the courtyard. Where were they going?
“But class is about to start.”
Seibelle blinked at her quickly before continuing to walk. Azealia lowered her mouth to Kaeli’s pierced ear and whispered:
“Not until our scent covers you all over again.”
