Following Darryl through the house we exit out of the back door and head of a vast garden, it’s not as
big as Fractions but it’s clearly well. used. The grill is out and looks like it could use a good clean and
the tables and chairs tell me they often hang out as a big group. I expect Darryl to lead us to another
part of the house but instead he takes me right to the edge of the trees and I see a small dirt path, it’s
more like worn down grass from people walking over it, if Darryl hadn’t shown me I don’t think I would
have seen it.
“Follow this path and you wille to a small cabin in about ten minutes. Just knock on the door and
go in, she’s expecting you.” Darryl says, pointing down the path.
“You aren’ting with me?” I ask him while looking at the dark space between the trees. It looks dark
down there even though it’s the middle of the day and I can feel the sun warming my back.
“This is an Omega thing, some things we Alpha’s shouldn’t know. Ocean knows you’reing and is
ready for you.” I just nod at him as
take a deep breath and step onto the little path.
I’m not sure why all this secrecy is worth a simple Omega, sure we make great mates and we can help
Packs heal and work well together but otherwise I think we are pretty useless. I mean look at me…what
has being an Omega ever done for me? Following Darryl’s directions I am soon quite far into the forest,
I can even see the sun anymore let alone the sky, all of the trees seem to tower over me and I can hear
all kinds of woond creatures ying in the bushes. I haven’t seen any of them, they will give me a
wide berth thanks to the wolf smell I emit.

It isn’t long before I see the cabin that Darryl told me about, it looks like something out of a fairytale. It
even has a straw thatch roof, just to the side I can see a little herb and vegetable garden that seems to
be just blooming. The smell of basil, parsley andvender fill my nose as I stand still and look at the
beauty in front of me. I know I should go and knock on the door but I find myself just standing still and
enjoying the peace emitting from the area around me, it’s like it’s permeated into the very ground and
when standing here you can’t feel anything but tranquil.
“You just going to stand there and soak up all the smells, sweet pea?” I “You just going to stand there
hear a familiar voice, blinking my eyes open. I see an old grey haired woman with red rimmed sses
on her face.
“You.” It’s not a question, it’s a statement, “I’m awake?”
“Maybe, who knows these days. Come in, I have coffee on.” She waves me over from the doorstep and
holds the door open for me. She waits. patiently as I slowly walk over to her little home.
“Ocean?” I ask her as I enter her little cottage.
“Smart one aren’t yah? And you’re Anna. Now we know each other, we can sit and have a coffee like a
couple of civilised people,” she points. over to a little table, it’s big enough for two people, maybe three
if you pushed it.
Walking over to the kitchen area I can’t help but admire the little home, it’s all country cottage style and
somehow smells of cookies and home made bread. The kitchen and front room are all one room but it
seems only to be separated by the little table I am now sitting at.
“Lovely home.” I say to Ocean as I ept a cup of coffee from her.
“Thanks. It’s not much but it’s home, now you want to ask your. question?” Ocean asks me sitting

“I’ve dreamed of you… How do I know you?” I ask her putting the coffee cup in front of me.
“I’m an Omega and so are you.” She says, like it exins everything.
“When I told Momma Beth about you she said you were Fractions. grandmother but Darryl said you are
his. So you connect the two packs? And I’m sorry but what does being an Omega have to do with me
dreaming of you?” The questions fall from my lips before I can stop them.
“Oh, sweet pea.” She leans over and pats my hand with her wrinkled one. “no one told you about being
an Omega when you were younger?” I actually burst outughing.
“Sorry.” I say, putting a hand over my mouth to stop theughter. “You wouldugh if you knew what I’d
gone through. No, no one taught me anything about being an Omega. I was ate bloomer.”
“Let me guess? Your wolf didnte out until you feltfortable with those around you?” I nod my
head at her, it’s true Winter didnte out until I found my home with Swiftmane and I started to get
closer to Fraction. “That’s because you are Omega. Our wolves protect us by staying hidden until they
know we are around people who can protect us.” I nod at her, I guess it makes sense. “As for being
Fractions grandmother, well I might have some simrities with her, Goddess know Agnes liked to steal
my style but no I’m not rted to the Monroe’s,” I nod my head, guess it’s easy to get confused when
you are trying to describe a dream.
“So how did you get into my dreams?” I ask her while blowing on my coffee, it seems so surreal that
the woman I have been dreaming about is suddenly standing across from me.
“Well, that’s a littleplicated when you don’t know much about ust

but I will try.” Ocean smiles at me as she settles into her chair, “your know how Omega’s help their
Packs right?”
“I do and I don’t, I just know that when people around me are in trouble I have dreams about sewing
and then when I wake up I seem to either find a solution to the problem or it’s worked itself out.” I tell
her truthfully about my dreams because she already knows so why hide from them.
I watch as Ocean sighs and pinches the top of her nose between her finger and thumb, “we have a lot
of work to do. Anna, you are already doing the job of an Omega just without knowing it, an Omega can
feel the emotions of those around them. They have an inner ability to help peoplee to terms with
those emotions, normally we are only needed when there is a problem. You have had so many things
thrown at you that your emotions were shouting at me from so many miles away. And because I
couldn’t get to you, you pulled me into your dreams when I was needed most.”
“That’s insane.” I say standing up and walking around the kitchen, “if Omegas had that kind of power
we would be hunted. We would be something all the Packs want, there would never be a fight or an
argument in a Pack again.” There is no way an Omega is as special ast she is saying, it’s like she
believes she actually lives in some kind of fairytale.
“I don’t stay hidden for nothing dear, for a long time I was safe because I had a mate but when my mate
died I became a free for all. Suddenly all the Alpha’s wanted me, they wanted a live-in Omega that
would fix all their problems.” I look over at her from where I’m standing next to the kitchen sink, “thest
Alpha helped me fake my death and now It stay hidden in the woods. My grandson makes sure only a
certain few know I’m here. When I knew you wereing I knew I needed to see you, to help you grow
as Omega. My time is drawing close, so I need to pass this wisdom on before I leave and find my mate
in the afterlife.”

“You don’t know you’re going to die,” I can see the sad looking over her face.
“I’m an olddy sweet pea, deathes to us all.” She stands from the table and walks over to her
bookshelf as if looking for something, she moves a few things around and thenes over to me and
holds out a silver key. “This is a key to this ce, while you’re here I want you toe and go as you
please. I’m going to teach you how to fight for your mate so that when the other Pack’se you will
have a nice strong Alpha at your back.”
“You don’t know they wille.” I say, taking the key from her.
“If you say so, I’m going to take a nap. Make yourself at home and we will get started tomorrow.” She
pats my hand and walks around the corner and then I listen to her footfalls as she heads up the stairs.
Sitting back at the table I can’t help but feel even more confused. I’m not going to lie, having an older
Omega to speak to and to learn from will be nice but I can’t help but feel she offers more questions
than
answers.
