*Masterlist*
The next morning, I had trouble not falling back into my routine where I went and grabbed my pill bottle and took my pill. My body is feeling a lot different today. I feel more vulnerable, and I'm sure that my scent is thicker and heavier now that it’s not being masked.
Phil has even taken a notice because I’ve seen how he scented me in the afternoon, without meaning to, and left us both feeling quite aroused. I wasn’t used to feeling this way, but without my suppressants, I felt this way constantly. But now, my heat will due in just a few weeks. I know this because I read up online that once you stop suppressants, it takes two weeks for your body to accept the sudden change. But since I was already feeling the change, I was scared of it happening sooner.
While Phil went to college for the day, like I’ve gotten used to him doing, I stayed back in his room and did some research on what it was like to go through a heat as an Omega. I remembered what my first ever heat was like but they say the first isn’t anything like the rest.
I googled the topic, embarrassingly so, and clicked on the first source I saw. I read through the descriptions they gave of Alphas and Omegas and I found myself smiling when I read that they described Omegas as:
Strong “lower class” males and females who have the amazing ability to carry and reproduce children at the sad beck and call of their mates.
Yep, that was pretty much it but at least they described me as strong which made me think that the writer of this article was also an Omega who faces persecution like myself. I have trouble walking through town because most Alpha’s, especially those who are unmated, will smell an unmated Omega like myself and nearly force us into submission. And sadly, no one ever stops it. Whenever I had to go into town, my family always went with me just to be sure. My father made sure no one ever touched me, not even when my heat was strong enough to release pheromones down our road which lured in unmated Alpha’s looking for a quick knot.
I scrolled down the page and found a helpful section labeled:
I just went off my suppressants: now what?
So you were just told by your Alpha that you need to get off suppressants, or maybe you’re making a personal choice and going off from them because you want to. Now, what do you expect? Expect a strong heat within two weeks to one month after stopping your pills. This is because your body had gotten used to being controlled by the pills and now it has freedom to do what it biologically wants to. In addition, your first heat following the stopping of suppressants will be strong and you’ll be more fertile than ever before.
I stopped reading for a minute. I’ll be extremely fertile? What? But I don’t want a baby and I’m not gonna have the correct mindset to stop Phil from knotting me. Plus, I’m not going to want him to stop. Knotting is an intimate thing and my brain will want that even if I try and refuse.
This is why I recommend you get an over the counter birth control and begin taking it immediately following your stopping of suppressants. It will not stop your heat but it will stop a possible pregnancy that could be very much unwanted. No Omega deserves to have a child they don’t think they will be able to take care of, even if that’s the case nowadays.
I can’t just take birth control though. I thought it over in my head again and quickly shook that thought from my head. Phil will know if I take birth control and I don’t want that. I know that Phil didn’t entirely want me off my suppressants but he had reasons why I need to become pregnant.
But he won’t explain it to me.
Naturally.
I looked back at the article.
Now, when your heat begins, you are definitely going to feel it. Within 24-48 hours prior to your heat actually happening, you’re going to feel hot. You skin may even feel like it’s burning, and you might even produce little amounts of slick. This is completely normal. The morning, or night, that your heat finally hits will be hard on you. You’re going to produce more slick than usual and your body is going to ache with need. You’re going to need help getting through this grueling week long process, but with the right Alpha or the right caregiver, it is definitely doable.
But don’t worry. This is the only heat that will be like this. Your following heats should return back to normal. Think of the first one as your bodies way of hating you for stopping it’s natural process. Just let it run it’s course and have help through it.
You’re going to be okay.
I closed the article and shut the top of my laptop—it was technically Phil’s old one—and laid down on the bed, feeling drained.
I was not ready to go through this at all. I was terrified of having to experience this. I rolled over on the bed and breathed in Phil’s scent from his pillow, instantly feeling calmed from it.
Within seconds, I had a text from asking if I was okay. I smiled to myself, because I knew that his Alpha senses were going off that he had a distressed Omega at home. I texted him and told him I was going to be fine.
And then I ended up falling asleep again on his bed.
Phil still wasn’t back from college when Omega Lester came home and began to make us dinner. Alpha Lester had a late shift but Mrs. Lester was more than happy to still make dinner for just her and I.
We were standing in the kitchen and she was showing me how to cook basic things like vegetables in a frying pan. I didn’t know much about how to cook because my parent’s never taught me, but I knew it was a basic skill that all Omega’s needed.
“You’ll need to know for when you and Phil own your own house one day,” she said with a sad smile.
“Do you think we will?” I asked curiously, “I mean, do you think we will in the near future?”
She turned to me and smiled, nodding her head, “Most definitely. We just wanted to make sure that Phil was going to get along with you. And now that we see you two are completely smitten with each other, we are okay with letting you guys live alone.”
“When are we moving out?” I asked before adding quickly, “Not that I’m trying to push us out, I’m just curious.”
She shook her head and chuckled, “I know what you meant, sweetie,” she said turning back to her cooking and no longer facing me, “Once the first baby arrives.”
I stood back and felt my body tense. I furrowed my brows and finally spoke, “When the first baby arrives?” I repeated in the form of a question. She nodded, “You’ll be bearing a child soon, Dan. And once the baby has arrived, then you will move.”
I took a deep breath, “What if I don’t want a child?” I asked crossing my arms over my chest, “I’m only sixteen and Phil is only 20. Maybe I just take birth control instead.”
She suddenly turned and shook her head, “You will need to be pregnant following your next week.”
“But why?”
“Dan,” she said sternly but softly, “We need you to be pregnant after your heat.” I sighed and rubbed my hands over my face, feeling like I might cry, “Is my own body mine anymore?” I suddenly exclaimed, “Can I not control what I want to do with it anymore?”
“This is the agreement you make when you mate with an Alpha,” She said softly, “Your body is now his.”
I ended up leaving the kitchen following this, despite hearing the sadness in Omega Lester’s voice as she tried her best to keep me calm over the news. But I wasn’t.
How could one be calm when they are just told that they no longer have control over their own body? How could one be calm when they are just told that they need to become pregnant?
How could one be calm!
I was sitting up in Phil’s room when the thoughts began again. I looked at the window and sighed. I could jump out this window and try to run. Maybe I’d get far, maybe I wouldn’t. I would probably be caught and arrested. Or worse yet, my heat will hit and I’ll be forcibly knotted by a random Alpha on the street. I got up and stood, looking out the window and down at the backyard of Phil’s house. I haven't even been outside since I’ve came here and that’s something that I’m just now realizing.
I wonder if I even could walk outside if I wanted to get fresh air. I haven’t even thought.
Deciding that my thoughts were completely ridiculous, I sat down on the bed again. I was about to lay back down when I saw the door creep open and Phil squeeze his body through the small opening.
I laughed to myself, because he could have just opened the door. He crept in and walked over to the bed, when he sat down next to me and looked at me. I looked at him back and sighed, feeling tears brim my eyes, “Why do you need me to have a baby?” I asked softly.
He sighed as well, “My mother just told me of your conversation, and I’m really sorry that you have to go through this,” he said, “I really wish we could wait.”
“But why can’t we?”
“It’s so complicated Dan!”
I groaned in frustration and laid down on the bed next to him. He laid down as well, “Why is everything so complicated?”
He rolled over and pulled me in his arms, “I’ll tell you one day.”
I let go of a deep breath and curled into him,
“One day better be soon,” I mumbled.
