A/N: IMPORTANT...I don't think I mentioned that the University was all boys...well just telling you now so you know :)

"Most of our assignments will be sent online through email, so as you are leaving I would like you to write your name and email on this sheet in the front." The professor holds up a white sheet, from what I can see from my seat in the third row, is divided up in a table. There must be more of those sheets because this class is packed with about seventy or eighty people, and that one piece of paper will definitely not be enough.
Professor Lander continues explaining how this course will run, what are the main aspects and what he as a teacher expects from us. I listened half heartedly, my mind drifting to the group of boys seated in the back of the class. I think they were meant to be whispering to each other, but it obviously wasn't very effective because I could hear them faintly from down here.
I glanced back at them once again, counting them under my breath. It seemed to be six boys who were all huddled together in the corner, laughing and pointing at random students around the auditorium. I watched them carefully, taking notice that they were now all staring at the boy two rows behind me, a couple seats diagonal from my own. The boy didn't seem to notice the group of boys burning holes at the back of his head, smirking and licking their lips at him.
I studied the boy quickly, trying to be as subtle as I can so he doesn't think I'm some sort of creep. He was cute if I'm being honest. Anyone can see from just one look that he's an Omega. He had big brown doe eyes that focused solely on the professor speaking up at the front. His hair was a messy dirty blonde that was pulled back by a baby blue beanie. His cheeks were the type that was just naturally flushed, which made him look a thousand times younger.
I heard more loud laughter from the same corner at the back, making me look over to the group of boys. They all looked so much older than everyone else in this class. I don't understand how all of them ended up in a freshman classroom. Maybe they're getting held back? I mean, they don't really seem like the type to pay attention and actually work in class. It's not like it really matters though, they're werewolves after all.
One thing I figured out about this University, is that anyone can get in, no matter how intellectual you are. All you have to be is a werewolf male and you're in with no questions asked. Werewolves who come out of this University aren't looking for jobs. They already know they're going back to their pack to work as an Alpha, Omega or a Beta. The only reason students bother coming to this University, is either because their parents forced them to, they're only here for the experience,or they're trying to find their mate since they know A. B. O is packed with werewolves. However you also have the small amount of this University who actually wants an education, and that includes me.
Since this is an all boys school, it's about a hundred times more intimidating to be an Omega. The only ladies around here are the staff, and even they seem to be Alphas or Betas. Jeez it really sucks to be an Omega. Damn my Dad for making me go here when I already had gotten in to schools that actually care about your intelligence.
"All right class, dismissed. Enjoy the rest of your first day here at A. B. O. Don't forget to sign the sheet." My gaze snapped back to the professor, watching him smile one more time before retreating to his desk. I shook my head a little, scolding myself for not paying attention for most of the lesson.
I collected my books quickly, stuffing them into my backpack that was resting down by my feet. Not being able to help myself, I chanced a look at the back of the class once again to see that the corner was now empty. Frowning, I moved my eyes to the front of the class to see them all waiting by the door. I narrowed my eyes when I realized they were still staring at the same boy, who was currently signing his name on the sheet in the front of the class. Were they waiting for him?
I walked down the steps and over to the signing sheet, waiting in the small line up before it was my turn to write in my information. Getting irritated and anxious, I butted the lineâignoring the harsh comments thrown at meâ till I was standing right behind the boy who was still hunched over writing his email in.
I tapped his back gently making him turn his head up to stare at me. "Um, yes?" He spoke quietly, his voice as soft as his features. "Can I help you?"
"NoâI mean yes. No, I meant no!" My eyes widened, his following suit. He must think I'm crazy. I chuckled awkwardly, scratching the back of my neck sheepishly before extending a hand towards him, "I'm Harry."
He smiled back nervously, placing his hand in mine and shaking gently, "I'm Noah." His smile widened till it was a full on toothy grin.
My dimples popped out as I beamed back at him, "Nice to meet you, Noah. Um sorry, I just wanted to say hello." I was back to being kind of awkward, not really knowing why I had introduced myself to him in the first place.
Noah didn't seem to find me weird at all, in fact, he was still smiling largely, his eyes gleaming as they stared into mine. "Well hello then. It was nice to meet you too. See you tomorrow, then?" God, he just seemed so innocent. I nodded back at him, watching him wave at me before he started walking to the door of the auditorium.
"Hey," Someone snapped behind me, making me gulp as I met eyes with a huge Alpha. "Are you going to sign the fucking sheet, or are there some more friends you want to make?" His gaze was so heated that I quickly whipped around and scribbled my information in messily. I don't even know if I spelled my name correctly, but I didn't really care at the moment. I zoomed out of that auditorium so fast; you couldn't have said "butterscotch".
My eyes widened as I frantically looked around the hallway for Noah. I shouldn't have taken my eyes off of him, because that group of boys isn't here either. Is Noah with them? It did seem like they were waiting for him, and he seemed to have no idea who they were or that they were watching him.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself as I continued my way down the hallway and out of the building. This is school. Nothing's going to happen to Noah with all these students and teachers around. I'll see him tomorrow, and he's going to be perfectly fine.
I walked slowly back to my dorm, knowing there's no need to rush since I have no more classes today. That was my third and last lecture of the day and I can't wait to just get back to my dorm and lie in my bed. Maybe I should pick some food up? Or just get a snack? I pulled my phone out of the pocket of Greyson's sweater to check the time. 2:30pm. Okay so it's not late. I'll just get a snack then and see what Rhys and Greyson are up to. I think Greyson only had two lectures today, and I believe he said they were pretty early so he'd be done by now. I'm not sure about Rhys. I had my first class with him, which we showed up five minutes late for, and then we separated ways.
I should really ask Rhys and Greyson for their numbers, it would be so much easier to figure out where they were and what they were doing.
I sighed, pausing in my spot to scan the food places that are around me. I've noticed that there is a great deal of food places around campus. I'm really happy with that, because I don't have a car and it'd be really annoying to keep walking off and on campus all the time.
I guess this is one thing I really like about the University. It's like the campus is its own little town. Well, a town with all males that is. I've literally seen everything so far that I had back home. There was even a couple spas and shopping stores that I passed.
Walking into this cute little Chinese food place, I ordered one of those small containers of noodles and a bottle of water that I tucked away in my backpack for later. I used the plastic fork they gave me to dig in to the small meal, moaning at the warmth and goodness.
I began my walk to my dorm building, humming to myself and shoveling bites of the Chinese deliciousness when I could. I was almost at the street of my dorm building when a hand slammed its way across my mouth, making my eyes widen in shock and my hands dropping the container of noodles.
I was too stunned to even get my brain to start processing the idea of screaming. Another hand snaked its way around my waist and I was lifted and dragged into the little alley between to of the campus buildings. No even cares that I'm being practically kidnapped in front of their eyes! Actually, there aren't many students or teachers around since I'm near the dorm sector of the campus, and a lot of the students are either in their dorm or still in class. Just my luck.
I was dropped further into the alley. It wasn't dark at all, considering it was still early in the afternoon and the sun was shinning brightly.
The hand left my mouth, making me open it with a gasp. I was finally able to get my mind and lungs to start working, but a hand made its way back over my lips, silencing me before I even had a chance to speak.
"Don't make a sound. There's no one even around to hear you, and it would just make it worse for you." A deep voice spoke in my ear, his hair tickling my cheek with how close he was. "Got it?"
I nodded vigorously, squeezing my eyes shut in fear and confusion. What does he want from me?
"That's a good boy." I could practically hear the smirk in his voice as he pulled away. My eyes reopened, but everything was blurry from the tears glazing my eyes. I blinked them away quickly, focusing my gaze on the guy in front of me.
Shit he was beautiful. His wide enticing hazel eyes was the first thing that caught me in, and the next was the way his tanned skin contrasted with it. I flickered my eyes up for a second to see his dark brown hair swept up away from his forehead in a quiff. Wow.
"Boys!" He suddenly hollered, making me flinch at the Alpha tone. His eyes were still watching me, a warm look in his eyes as he studied me inch from inch. He finally turned his eyes to the opposite side of the alleyway, where three other boys were walking down. Oh my gosh, they're huge.
My eyes widened, making me stumble back into the wall as they all came closer and closer, until they were all beside the first guy. I swept over all of the quickly, all of them seeming more familiar the more I looked at them.
"This is him." Hazel eyes stated, his eyes locking with mine as he spoke. "He's perfect." He whispered, taking a step forward, making me press myself against the wall behind me to get some distance. It wasn't even possible to escape, they were all gigantic and were spread around me, trapping me to the wall.
"Why can't I smell it?" Another one of them said, this one with a much smoother tone. My eyes connected with ones of melted chocolate, they were soft yet firm. He looked like a wall of muscle, with shorter caramel hair that was pushed upwards as well.
"Something's blocking the scent." Hazel eyes muttered, taking another step forward until he was pressed against my smaller frame. I gasped, my eyes widening when he nudged my head to the side, exposing one side of my neck. My small hands found their way to his chest, trying feverously to push him away, but it was futile. He was an Alpha and I was a mere Omega. He's not even trying to stop my attempts of pushing him away because he knows just as much as I do that I'm not strong enough to stop him. Any of them.
"W-Whatâ" I hissed, squeezing my eyes shut as his lips grazed over the sensitive skin. He was smelling me. That much I could tell, but I didn't understand why. My heart was beating a mile a minute, and I was almost one hundred percent sure he could hear the loud thumping.
I jumped as he suddenly let out a low growl, soon turning it into a moan as he pressed himself even further into me. "God, you smell delicious." He muttered into my neck, bringing his face up until it met mine. He was much taller than me so he had to look down as he clasped both hands on my cheeks and tilted my head upwards. His eyes searched mine quickly, biting his lip as his thumb rubbed slow circles on my flushed skin. "It's you." He spoke in a raspy voice, his tone longing and desperate. His eyes bored into mine, with a look that I couldn't quite figure out but I'm almost sure it was relief.
"I-I don'tâ" I tried in a shaky tone, not getting to finish before another body came into view. My eyes snapped to the new face, not being able to turn my face or my body because Hazel eyes was still pressed against me with my head in his grip.
"Let me, Z." The next voice spoke, his face dipping down into the opposite side of my neck, making me close my eyes on instinct. Hazel eyes was still holding my face, tilting it a bit to the side so he could give the other Alpha more access to my neck. I tried to resist as much as I could, bringing a weak arm up and clawing at the hands on my face so I could turn my head. Of course, it was a stupid attempt, and I could do nothing but let them continue their 'smelling'. I cringed.
I felt the new guys blonde hair tickle my chin as he sniffed me, taking in large breaths of my scent. "Mm..." He groaned, one of his large hands finding its way to my hair and pulling my head back to give him even more access.
"S-Stop it!" I yelped at the weird angle my head was at. God, if they twist my neck anymore it's going to snap.
I gasped as I felt the distinct feeling of a warm tongue gliding it's way down my throat, pausing just above Greyson's jumper. A growl sounded as the Alpha stepped back, as if he was disgusted. "The sweater. That's what's blocking his scent." He said with an angry, possessive tone. My eyes turned to saucers as I grasped the material of Greyson's sweated in my small hands in realization. "It's the scent of an Alpha." He continued, making me jump with how aggressive and infuriated he sounded.
Oh my gosh. That's why Greyson was so persistent on me wearing his clothing. He wanted me to block my scent. But why? Did he know I was going to run into these guys?
"Whose sweater is this?!" A loud growl snapped me back to reality, making me look at the blonde boy in front of me in complete terror. I must look so pathetic. I'm practically shaking with how much fury was in the air. They all looked just about ready to kill, and I don't think I'm the victim.
My breathing picked up, my body trying to sink further into the wall as the four of them closed in on me. I kept the sweater tight in my hands, feeling as if it were my lifeline at the moment.
They all looked so scary. Their eyes flashed red and that's when I knew I had to get out of here. When an Alpha's eyes start turning red, and their fangs are pushing out, it's a sheer sign that they're going to shift. It's dangerous for an Omega to be alone with an Alpha when they're about to shift, especially if they're complete strangers. They can't control themselves, which means they won't be able to control what happens to me.
I panicked. I didn't know what to do. I could feel tears of fear forming in my eyes as they snarled at me, awaiting my answer to whom the sweater belonged to.
Without even thinking, I brought my leg up and kneed the guy who was closet to the alleyways opening in the balls. He groaned, howling in pain as he fell to his knees, clutching the abused area. The other three Alpha's calmed down at my action in shock, giving me the perfect opportunity to push pass the guy I kicked, and bolt for the exit.
I don't think I'd ever sprinted that fast in my life. Even in wolf for I don't think I had moved this fast. I didn't even spare a look back to the alleyway, and just kept running to my dorm building before they could get to me.
When I made it to the lobby, I found that it was empty except for the man at the front desk. It was times like these that I wished I lived in Rhys' all Omega dorm building.
My legs took me all the way to the elevator, pressing the button repeatedly until the doors finally closed. Right before they fully shut however, I peaked a look through the middle to see if they had seen me go in this building. When I noticed it was empty, I let out a breath of relief. Good, they didn't catch up to me. I felt a lot better knowing that they didn't know which building I lived in, or at least I hope they don't.
I sighed, sagging on the wall of the elevator as I waited for it to reach my floor. Who were those four guys anyways? They seemed so familiar, yet I can't remember where I could have seen their faces.
I bit my lip in thought, my eyebrows screwing together as I thought.
And then it hit me. There were four boys charging at me this morning to the elevator. I've felt like these eyes have been watching me ever since I got to this campus. Oh my gosh, and I even saw two of them at the pizza place and the café.
My eyes widened as I tried to process all the information. Okay, so they've been following me and watching me. But why? It can't be the reason I think.
Wait and there's four of them! It's impossible for them to all be searching for me for the same reason. You only have one soul mate. The only people that I've heard have more than one mate is theâ
"No fucking way." I gasped, bringing a shaky hand to my mouth as tears started to form in shock.
There's four Alpha's.
The Tops.
There's only one solution as to why they were sniffing me in the alleyway.
They think I'm their mate.
