I’m honestly terrible at remember names lol I’m gonna get them wrong xD
Upon arriving to the Grove you were so happy for shelter, for some relaxation and peace. The druids however were not all inclined to you staying despite what Halsin said. You were exhausted from the days on the road, from the fall, you don’t know how much more your omega body could handle. You weren’t the only omega though and you had to help your people. You were sorting out some supplies when you saw Zevlor, a stern look on his face. Gods what did those Druids do now? you sighed a little continuing your sorting before Zevlor called your name. You perked up as he cocked his head for you to follow and you did. You followed him through the stone doors and into his private area.
“What is it?” You asked sensing the alphas stress.
“The Druids want us gone, with Halsin not here-“ he growled and you gulped a little trying to calm him with your scent. He was usually so composed, but with what’s been happening lately he was getting ready to burst.
“Apologies child I-“ he sighed back turned to you as you stepped closer.
“It’s alright, what can I do?” You asked as he turned to you.
“You’ve done too much already, I want you to rest” he said and you hesitated.
“I have to help-“ you gestured out the door referring to the camp.
“Zevlor!” Tilses called rushing in.
“What is it?” Zevlor asked now on high alert.
“Aradin and his crew are back, but we’ve got problems-“ before the woman could finish Zevlor growled and stormed out, you following suit. You headed to the gate seeing Aradin and his fighters and a pack of goblins behind him. It happened quickly, Harkon got shot, his dead body falling to the floor. The gate slid shut as you ducked from more arrows. You saw Wyll out the corner of your eye as he jumped down the rocks to help. You prepared a spell, protecting the fighters down below, concentrating your magic on them as they fought. Zevlor knelt close to the edge his crossbow in hand. You saw another group appear behind the goblins and they began fighting as well. You extended your protection to them feeling the drain heavily in your body as you pushed through. The fighting stopped and you fell to your knees.
“Everyone inside now!” Zevlor yelled as the gate was opened.
“Gods, are you alright?” He asked as you nodded smiling weakly.
“Just need a moment” you muttered as you tried to get up. Zevlor caught you quickly and you felt your body tingle in response.
“Sorry-“ you forced your body up taking in his alpha scent as he gave you a worried look.
“I’ll be fine, we’ve got company it seems” you said glancing to the four travellers. You smiled and waved the older alpha off who hesitated, but nodded. You headed back to your camp a headache brewing as you sat in your bedroll.
“Excuse me” you frowned looking up seeing the group and standing back up.
“I wanted to thank you for your help” you smiled at the beta elf before glancing to his companions.
“Of course, did any goblins get you?” You asked and they shook their heads.
“Netties the healer in the sanctuary, I don’t know if they’ll let you in though, Arron’s the trader also he is just up there” you pointed and they nodded.
“Zevlor will want to speak to you too, he’s-“ you searched for your leader.
“Probably through that stone door down there” you pointed again.
“Thank you” The elf said and you nodded smiling.
“If you need gear see Dammon, he’s by the sorry excuse of a forge” you chuckled making the elf smile.
“Are you alright?” One of his companions asked, a human, just above the shoulder length brown hair and purple robes.
“Yes, just tired, that spell takes a lot out of you” you said.
“Of course, I’ve never seen it before” he added intrigued.
“Tiefling secret” you chuckled.
“Ah of course” the man grinned.
“Best of luck on your journey” you said as they left with goodbyes. You sagged a bit going back to your bed and laying down. You fell asleep some time someone nudging you awake gently. You shot up before Zevlor scent and voice hit you.
“Easy, it’s just me” he said and you sighed in relief looking to him and the two bowls he had.
“It’s not much again” he said handing you the simple stew and spoon.
“It’s food” you shrugged as the older alpha sat by you. You ate in silence seeing the travelling group still here.
“Hung around did they?” You asked nodding to them.
“Hm? Yes they’ve agreed to help us surprisingly, I don’t know how, killing a whole goblin came can’t be that easy” Zevlor chuckled softly and you smiled.
“They seem to be a powerful bunch, gods know we need the help” you said lying your empty bowl down.
“How are you feeling?” He asked looking to you. You hesitated, honestly you felt ready to burst from exhaustion and everything that’s happened, you had no safe space or comfort to find and you were always on edge.
“I’m alright just a bit tired” you lied shrugging as you avoided his worried eyes.
“You can’t lie to me omega” he muttered and you flushed embarrassed, hiking your knees to your chest, tail coming around you.
“If I tell the truth you won’t let me do anything” you grumbled a bit with a sigh.
“You’ve done too much already, I need you strong” he said and you gulped silently.
“I sleep, I eat, I have a bed and shelter, I’ll be fine tomorrow promise” you stated shutting yourself off trying to avoid breathing in the calming alpha scent he was giving off.
“Very well, do sleep well child” he said taking your bowl and leaving. You cursed yourself softly and laid back on the bed, gods you hated this and this situation. You hated even more that you felt connected to Zevlor somehow, his scent always stood out from the others, so much more inviting, you craved to be near him at all times. You were in his eyes a child though despite being an adult, he’d never see you as a potential mate or companion, not that you should be thinking about that now. Every night you wished you could lay in his bedroll with him, curled up against him, his warmth and scent surrounding you, it would bring you comfort, stop this ache and need.
