Becoming the Luna

Chapter 330

"Your mom is back!" Erin adds when he doesn't even slow down, watching as he instantly freezes to a stop, turning around in horror.

"What?"

Erin is a little thrown aback by his suddenly frosty expression.

"Sure" he mutters, dismissing the entire situation and turning around to go after Dream again.

Erin just stands there speechless, wondering how to tell him that his mom was already on the top floor and she literally lost her shit at the faint sweet scent of an Omega's heat lingering around.

Well wasn't this a colorful mess.

Dream is half dozing off in the now warm water, the sun streaming on his wet body and reflecting off the water, his long hair is wet and plastered to his face so he doesn't hear someone fiddle with the front door.

Luna Alana on the other hand is a bubble of excitement, thinking that her son has finally settled down with an Omega of the Pack.

It's a little weird that she's in a different apartment and not his but that's not important now.

She had just come to pay a visit, simply because she missed her son, yes that was it it wasn't to come snoop on him or anything S her husband kept insisting.

Who cared that she had only been gone a little over a month? She could always visit, no? It was still her Pack.

The door opens easily - she has a master key - and she slides in, the wet scent of sadness enveloping her.

She's already building up a fine size of anger, to lash out at Dale for breaking her heart when something doesn't smell right.

'That scent', she thinks to herself, 'smells awfully familiar.'

Dale rushes in just as she's about to make her way to the hallway, horror on his face.

"Mom!!" He whispers furiously, dragging her attention to him.

"Oh!" Alana's mouth goes wide with shock as she takes in her son's bare upper body - was that a mating mark?

"What the hell are you doing snooping in someone else's room?" He queried her, hurrying over to grab her arm, she was his mom, there was no telling when she would dash into the bedroom and find Dream, that wouldn't end well.

He has to find a way to distract her but he also needs to find Dream and talk to him, to find out what the fuck went wrong

"You serviced an Omega in her heat, did you not?" Her shrill voice rises a couple octaves and Dale panics, glancing at the hallway, he really hopes Dream doesn't have to listen to this. "And I can smell tears, what did you do?"

"Nothing, mom, why are you even here? You're supposed to be out of the states, did you make Erin leave her vacation too?" He accuses her, grabbing her wrist and pulling her out before she did something drastic or Dream came out.

He wasn't letting his crazy mother get anywhere near Dream, at least not until he had made him his, or he would just be giving his mom the leverage to hurt Dream - that sure as fuck wasn't going to happen.

"I did not." Alana refutes, looking disgruntled. "Her parents choose to come back with her, they want to be a part of the Pack or something but that's not important, what is important is that"

"You're leaving." Dale cuts her off with a tight smile, practically pulling her out and ignoring her betrayed expression.

"Dale is that a mating mark, can you please tell me what is going on here?"

Dale doesn't let up, tugging her away until they're far from Dream's apartment. "It's my life, mom, when I'm ready to tell you, I will, now you came to visit me so let me get dressed so we can go eat out." He says in a tight voice, a heavy lump sitting in his throat and obstructing his airway.

This was a nasty decision to have to make, he had to pick between going to Dream and protecting Dream from his mom, it wasn't an easy situation.

But knowing his mother, she would find a way to escalate the situation before he even found out what was going on.

Dale's words stun his mother into silence and she docilely follows him to his apartment, noting that it smelled heavily of the same Omega's heat and sex and her brain keeps working overtime, trying to place the scent, why was it so hard to?

She was immensely curious about the Omega though, Dale never showed any interest in any of the ones she had thrown at him before and now to go to such lengths to keep her hidden from Alana, it spiked her curiosity up so high.

She paces across the living room, information slotting in her brain, there was only one Omega that her son had ever shown the slightest interest in

A sharp gasp let rip out of her throat as she glanced at the door of her son's apartment and again at the hallway Dale had one through, it would only explain why he didn't want Alana to meet the Omega.

The scent matches perfectly now, honey blonde hair, blue-grey eyes the male Omega.

Dale rushes through the motions of cleaning up, his mom was volatile and he probably had only a few minutes before she figured out who the Omega was, he needed to get them out of the fourth floor before that happened.

Knowing her, she would risk his anger just to confront Dream and put him down, Dale couldn't let that happen.

He's loathe to scrub off the scent of Dream so soon, although the sweet scent of honey and jasmines still longer, it's not as prominent as he would like.

He also makes sure to wear a low necked shirt, the Pack needed to start knowing that he was mated

Why did his mom choose today of all fucking days go come pay a bloody visit? Because he knew what he would have been doing if he didn't have to babysit her, fixing his relationship, that's what and marking his mate first before that, any other thing could come after.
