Emma’s POV
You know when you can just feel you are going to fuck up royally and no matter what you do nothing will change that? That’s how I have felt ever since I stepped into Storybrooke following henry. I used to think it was just because of Henry I mean I gave him up. Sure, I didn’t have a choice I was in prison, and I refused to let him go to the Alpha that made him. If Neal wasn’t dead, I’d still be scared what happens when Henry presence. He is so sweet and caring and now I’m just begging every day that he presence as an Alpha or Beta. If I had to go through seeing the way that these so called heroes treat Betas the ultimate fear of what they’d do if he was an Omega or if they found out I was an Omega.
I only had 2 months as an Omega before my first heat and it completely destroyed every single trust I had in the whole Alpha/Beta race. Raped, sold, forced to clean and all of that was only the start of how foster systems treat Omega. Now the fairytale characters or at least the ‘heroes’ of them treat everyone much worse. Alpha’s are everything and if you go against one it’s a death sentence. Betas are almost as bad the older betas force their young to mate with Alphas so that their bloodline can be strong. Omegas are basically unheard of in the enchanted forest because it is rare to be an Alpha let alone and Omega. Most of them are Betas due to their lack of magic. Most Villains are Alphas so why the hell did they make the ‘savour’ an omega that’s the stupidities idea I think I have ever heard.
In Storybrooke there are three types of Alphas that are currently in my life. Hook, Lily and Regina. To be honest I wish Hook wasn’t in my life. He is creepy, possessive and smells revolting even with the suppressants blocking their scents and mine. I can always still smell the sea water and rotting wood of a pirate ship. Even when he thinks I’m a Beta he owns me. Snow doesn’t help but I never liked the guy or any guy in fact. Everyone after what happened with Neal was female either a Beta or Omega in hiding like me. Never a man by choice and really Hook would be the last choice I’d make before shooting myself in the head.
But then there is Regina who is the strangest Alpha I have ever met. Poise, controlled and protective. Never uses her Alpha to command the weak but to calmly explain why they are an idiot. Everyone in this town sees her as evil but to me she is what an Alpha should be. Calm and controlled until the worst comes. I’ve heard horror stories of how the Queen used to rape anyway who would even glance at her. I feel really bad that those rumours are still going around town and even Regina approaches most of the time they step back. All the alpha goes is raise an eyebrow and gets on with the discussion.
Lily isn’t as calm as Regina but when we met again she sniffed me and stared at me. Regina had to take a call and stepped outside. “Didn’t pin you for an Omega but it kind of makes sense,” Lily grinned. “Didn’t pin you as an Alpha but kinda makes sense,” I grinned back then it fell, “how could you tell?” Lily looked me up and down slowly, “you can hide from everyone here Princess but I know you.” That was a month ago and when she came back to Storybrooke to Reunite with her Mother we started weekly drinking nights were we let lose.
Three very different types of Alphas but I feel Lily’s type shouldn’t count because she sees us as family. Sadly there are so few Alphas like Regina and Hook’s lot of Alphas makes up a lot of the fairytale world.
Suddenly their was a weird pull in my magic which is strange so I got up and ran out of the station and when I see the beam of light I don’t waste any time running towards it. One would think I should run away but I need to make sure no one is hurt. I ran as fast as I could until their it was a glowing green light portal light. I looked around and saw no one. My phone started to vibrate.
Her royal pain in my ass
Miss. Swan I don’t know what trouble you are causing but stop it and just come to the diner everyone is waiting for you
I rolled my eyes, “great back to Miss. Swan.” I started walking away but then it would like I was being pulled back. As I fell face first into the ground I felt like I was being dragged towards the portal. Shit. Shit! SHIT! My tried to reach for my phone but I was flung back before I could reach it. I was falling or at least I thought I was but then reality came back to me when my back slammed into the ground causing me to yelp.
“Well hello little savour,” I heard a smooth voice and blinked my eyes open to see Zelena. Of course it’s Zelena. “Zelena what the hell?” I slowly sat up and Zelena grinned, “there is just a few things I need to be doing darling try not to get in my way.” I stood on shakey legs, “like hell I am going to let you hurt Regina!” Zelena smirked, “oh I’m not going after your Alpha trust me. I’ve set my eyes on true vengeance, and it will be oh so sweet when I take it.” My cheeks tilted red, “Regina’s not my Alpha.” Zelena raised an eyebrow looking at me, “mm well if she ever gets the balls she will be. She’s been in love with you since your Beta smelling ass walking into Storybrooke.”
“I am a beta!” I growled but Zelena just grinned, “aww that’s cute but by the smell you appear to have missed today’s dose.” My heart stopped at that. No. NO she must be lying. I’m fine. I’m in control. “And now you are smelling like a in stress Omega,” Zelena teased and I bared my teeth, “I AM A BETA!” I yelled but Zelena stood forward pushing out pheromones into the air. MY nose immediately filled with the scent. Like standing in the middle of the forest surrounded by woods only for a thunderstorm to roll in the sweet smell of freshly fallen rain. I couldn’t stop my knees shaking as I take in calming pheromones for the first time in my life.
“Welcome to the Enchanted Forest Savour now if you will excuse me I have an Omega to go capture the heart of,” Zelena turned around but before she poofed away she turned back grinning, “not literally.” IN a green cloud she was gone, and I gulped. “Shit!” I touched my neck with my hand and pulled it back smelling that yes my natural scent is starting to come through. “FUCK!” Okay well this isn’t all bad I just need to find suppressants shouldn’t be too hard with the way Omegas are treated here. I picked a direction and started to walk in it. Regina is going to kill me for this. Also I thought the Enchanted Forest would I don’t know be more Enchanted.
I made it to a small village and as I walked through all eyes were on me watching. I used my nose to sniff out the closest Beta woman I could find. The woman looked me up and down. Gods would people stop doing that. “Omega?” I flinched, “do you have any suppliers for Scent blockers or Omega suppressants?” I asked her and she looked at me like I was crazy, “I do not know of what you speak Omega but I will set you up with my son he is a nice strong Beta boy he is mated with Prince you will be well taken care of.” I shook my head, “yeah no thank you.” The woman’s eyes turned cold, “it was not a choice Omega.”
I starting breathing faster, “not again please not again,” I whispered and as soon as she turned to call her son I bolted running as fast as I can. I jumped over a cart and kept running. Regina oh god I need Regina please to whatever god is out there- “Ohff!” I ran into what felt like a brick wall. My head was feeling dizzy and everyone was silent. I looked up and see the calm dark brown eyes that haunt my entire existence. “Regina?” I whispered before blackness consumes my vision.
