14. Weekend Party

Once in the bedroom, the omega took a shower, changing into her nightclothes, and then got in the bed. There’s a reminder in her head that she needs to call her mother before sleeping. Mustering enough energy, she searched for her phone and dialled the first number on the screen.

 


Alyssa mushed her face against the pillow, trying not to groan at the ache in her back. Those tight pants and heels were going to be the death of her. She had no other option, though. Her work demanded that. More like her bosses. Semantics.




Her mother picked on the third ring.




“Hello?”



The familiar voice almost made her lips curl. She missed her mother so much. Alyssa never left her house before, so the ache was still raw. It will take her some time to adjust. Two weeks away from her mother, brother and the pack members still a miracle though. Some days were tough.





“Hi, mom.”



“Hey, honey. You sound tired.”



“Yeah, I just got in bed.”



“I hope you ate something and not sleeping on an empty stomach. I know how you get when you are tired.”



Alyssa felt her mouth twitch. Her mother knew everything about her, so no surprise there. The omega did whip up quick ramen and managed to stuff her face before ending up in the shower.




“Don’t worry; I ate some ramen.”



Her mother made a sound. As if disappointed that Alyssa was feeding herself with noodles and nothing else. That’s what she could afford at the moment. Her entire cupboard was stocked with a different type of noodles. All thanks to Nicholas, she was able to eat pizza in the afternoon. It did make her lethargic but so worth it.




“How’s my little brother doing? Is he helping you out?”



The omega was worried for that very reason. Conan always focused on his goal more than looking after his mother. Something very natural for a teenager. He shouldn’t be burdened with the responsibilities at such a young age, but she had no choice. Alyssa had no one to rely on who could look after her mother other than her brother.




“You know Conan! He’s trying though so I can’t blame him for that.”





“Mom just a few more months then you can move to the city with me.”






Her mother made a sound.




“How is work?”





The omega shifted to her left side, on the right side of the bed, so he’s facing away from the window and towards the door.

 


“I love it,” Alyssa admitted softly. “The work is insane and hectic but manageable, and the people are lovely.”




A smile adorned her lips as she thought about Adrian and Nicholas. They have been nothing but pleasant to her, always helping and guiding her through everything. Eric, on the other hand, was a different case. Her cheeks reddened at his thought. He kissed her. It messed with her head for a while because no one had kissed her like that. Ever before.




The toe-curling, sensuous kiss where everything around her melted away and the only thing she could focus on his lips and the way they slotted against her so perfectly.




“That’s nice. Met any Alpha?”



Three. But her mother didn’t need to know that.



Alyssa blushed. “Mom! I came here to work.”




Her mother delightfully chuckled. “I know that, but there’s no harm in looking. You may never know.”




The omega let out a sigh. She would have thought about it if not for the promise. The promise which allowed her to get away from the packhouse. Breaking it won’t do her any good. That’s why she should stay away from her bosses. Only that she worked as their assistant, so it was tricky.




“Anyways, I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Good night”

It’s now Friday night, and the omega was regretting everything, and by everything, she meant agreeing to weekend get together at Paris house.




However, as she was moaning about that while getting ready for the office, her phone pinged. She checked her phone only to notice her two weeks salary was credited in her account. Her eyes widened at the sum—seven grand for two weeks.





She quickly went over her contract just in case there was some kind of mistake. That’s when she realised that her monthly salary was five grand by each Alpha which meant fifteen grand. A wet laugh escaped her mouth. That’s so much money! She can quickly pay off her uncles flat in two months. Not only that but also afford her mother’s treatment right away.




Blinking back her tears, she sat up and messaged the good news to her mother. Not only that, but she transferred half money, keeping the remaining for her grocery and other essentials.




When she told Paris the good news, her friend dragged her to shopping after work. Everything was ridiculously expensive, but she managed to get three pair of jeans, two tops, two-party dresses, some lingerie because Paris insisted and a couple of nice wedges.

Thankfully Eric was away all week for some business conference. She missed his presence—only a little.



As evening rolled in the omega went back home and got ready.




A tipsy looking Paris opened the door, standing there with a bottle of Jack Daniels in hand and a broad smile on her face.

 


“Alyssa! You came!” Came the slurred response.





The door opened wider too which the omega stepped inside, slightly relieved at the welcoming sight. It’s only five of them excluding Alyssa. Nicholas, Adrian, one Alphas she met in the cafeteria once and two omegas she didn’t recognise. Paris introduced the Alphas as Steve, the accountant. The two omegas worked as an analyst, Riya and Miriam.





“This is my living room. If you walk straight ahead, to the left, are the stairs and then the kitchen. To the right is my bedroom and another one is the guest room. And that glass door leads to my balcony.”





Alyssa nodded her head and shyly waved at her bosses who were sipping cups filled with god knows what.




The living room was simply cosy. There's a large leather brown sofa with a sectional and two love seats to match. In front of the couch was a large screen television posted up on the wall above the fireplace. She felt a little envious of Paris.

 

“Your place is beautiful.”



Paris giggled. “Thank you. I designed it myself. Most of it.”




Adrian was the first to stand up, swaying a little as he does, and embraced her in a tight and warm hug. She flared her nose at that, resisting the urge to smell his curls and instead patted her boss on the back two times before stepping away.

 


“Welcome to the party, Alyssa.”




“I hope I’m not too late.” She licked her lips.




Everyone was quick to shake their head.




“Not at all man, we simply came over after work.” Nicholas cleared his throat.


 

“This is my kitchen.” Paris pointed out, obviously. “I made some lasagna; so help yourself, there’s also massive amounts of pizza, some wings, and Nicholas brought over doughnuts.”




Everything sounded so delicious. She raised her bag. “Uhh...I bought some sandwiches.”




“Homemade?” Steve questioned, inhaling sharply.




 “Yeah” Alyssa admitted quietly.




She made the best-grilled cheese sandwich. Not her words but her mother’s. The secret was to use three cheese but with caramelised onions, chopped jalapeños and sprinkle some pepper.




“Smells heavenly” Nicholas mumbled.




The omega stared back at him, a shy smile on her face. Partly she made those sandwiches for him so that he can try her recipe.




“Come on” Paris interrupted their stare, dragging Alyssa to the kitchen.




“On the counter, we have tequila, Jack, and Adrian bought some fancy beer because that’s his favourite” Adrian scoffed from behind. The omega had no idea that he was following her.




“But you still won’t try it!”



Paris raised her glass. “This is my poison.”



Alyssa shook her head and stared at the beer. The bottle looked ridiculous fancy for holding liquor. She poured herself a cup because it’s her first time. The omega never drank before, but she heard that alcohol is bitter.



As she took a sip, her eyes widened. It’s sweet and delicious, doesn’t burn going down her throat. Instead, it left her feeling warm and tingly all over.
 




“First time?” Adrian smirked.




She ducked her head and blushed.




“So what do you think of my choice?” She could feel Alphas eyes dig into hers.




“It’s good” She answered honestly.



Just then, Miriam poked her head inside. “We were just about to pick the first movie but seeing as how you’re our newest guest; you should do the honours.”





Alyssa agreed, walking out of the kitchen with Adrian trailing behind her.




She picked Transformers, making others groan. It’s funny. Also, the look her boss shot her made her stomach flutter. They settled on the huge couch and started the movie.




Midway through the movie, Alyssa realised no one was watching it. They all only turned it for background noise. Instead, they all started talking about their first times.




“God I remember the first time I had sex, it was so embarrassing! I came in four minutes” Steve admitted, letting out a laugh.

 


“My first time was when I was about eighteen at a college party I had snuck into with my older sister,” Paris admitted. “The guy lasted for two minutes.”




Then they turned towards Alyssa because she sat beside Paris. The omega squirmed at the attention.




“Don’t tell me you are still a virgin” Riya teased.


 

Alyssa chewed on her lips, feeling very small all of a sudden. The omega didn’t find anyone worthy yet. She could feel both the Alphas eyes on her, so she looked up.



“Yeah”
