“That I am,” he nods his head. “Two things I’m proud of. Being one of the few omega professors and the fact that I could make my dream job come true at a young age.”
“I think it’s pretty good.” I nod, giving him a small smile.
“So do I.” He grins.
“Here’s your coffee, sir.” The girl gets my attention and hands me my coffee.
“Ah, thanks for this.” I hold up the coffee.
“No problem at all. Have a good first day. Make sure to stay out of trouble,” he chuckles, grabbing his drink and heading out of the shop.
I watch him go. Admiring the way he stands tall and proud like he doesn’t have a care in the world.
I want that. To be free, to be who I am. I’m not ashamed of being an omega, I’m hiding it for my own safety. I want to be out, to be proud.
But as long as I’m under my dad’s thumb, no one can know I like men and no one can know I’m an omega.
With my coffee in hand, I spend the next little while sipping it as I explore the campus.
I’m back at the front of the main building in time to meet with the student guide. The campus is slowly filling up with people, alive with chatter and excited energy.
Gripping my backpack straps nervously, I look around. I can’t help but wonder. Are people looking at me? Can they tell what I really am?
Closing my eyes, I shake my head.No, Camden, they can’t. Your pills work, no one back home knew what you were. Relax.
“Hello everyone!” a booming upbeat voice sounds, drawing my attention. A tall guy in what looks to be a football jacket stands on top of the edge of the water fountain. He runs a hand through his wavy blond hair and gives the crowd a charming smile. If I had to guess, based on his size, he’s an alpha. “My name is Jamie and I am a student guide today. Maybe I’m yours,” he wiggles his brows and a few people chuckle. “So, listen up. If you hear your name being called, come stand next to me. Then we can get this show on the road.”
There’s a few other guides calling out names. I try to pay attention for my name being called. Eventually I do, and I turn to see Jamie looking out at the crowd. “Do we have a Camden?”
“Ah, I’m Camden,” I step up. The guy looks at me and grins.
“Finally, a guy.”
My brows furrow, confused at what he means. Then I see the group of people standing next to me. All women, all betas.
“You got something against women?” I ask, raising a brow.
“Nope, think they’re amazing.” he chuckles. “But, I have no idea how to talk to them.”
I look him up and down. This man is the definition of a football god, I find it hard to believe he can’t talk to a woman. “Really?” I can’t help but ask.
“Hey,” he chuckles. “Don’t let the looks deceive you. You see a football player and think ‘that guy must get a lot of pussy’.”
“Well, yeah,” I can’t help but smile.
“And my teammates would agree with you on that one. But, pussy isn’t what I’m looking for if you know what I mean.” he gives me a devilish grin as he looks me up and down.
He’s gay. Well shit. “My bad for assuming.”
“No problem, man,” he wraps his arm around me and I go stiff. He’s close, too close. What if he can smell me. I’m never this close to anyone.
But, he doesn’t say anything, just looks at the group of girls. “Alright everyone.” Jamie says. “Let the tour begin!”
By the time we’re done, I know where every one of my classes will be held, where the cafeteria is, and all the good shops on campus.
“Final stop, the dorms.”
Jamie tells us that the housing is split up in three different little compounds with multiple sets of dorm buildings in each.
