So I think this song is perfect for this chapter "Make Me" by Noah Cyrus.

I did not know where I was heading. Maybe I would head to the bathroom like I usually would to fix my makeup, even though it didn't need fixing. I just found that doing my makeup calmed me, but now I felt that I just wanted to get away. I thought about leaving the building, but my feet had other ideas as I started walking to the cafeteria.

I knew there was going to be no one in the Cafeteria because the lunch shifts don't start till the afternoon, and I wasn't hungry, yet I still walked in. The smell of peaches invaded my senses as I walked to the kitchen. Now I knew why I wanted to come here. Already knowing who I was craving to see as i saw his blonde hair. I tried last night to convince myself that I shouldn't talk to him and that it would be better for the both of us if I didn't, but I wanted to see him. I needed to,

I started walking to him, but he turned around before I could get an arm's distance. He looked confused to see me, "Amelia?"

A women walked out of a room in the back carrying boxes and laying them down on one of the tables. "Nash, who is this?" I looked at her closely seeing the resemblance to Nash in her eyes and ears. This must be his mother. Omegas were known as always staying close together. They had small jobs around the pack and would always work as a family. Omegas also didn't attend school because they were homeschooled, but in Nash's case it seemed that he started his school work when his job was done.

"This is nobody. I think she is just hungry. I'll go get her something to eat and she will go." I couldn't help it as what I hoped wouldn't happen started to happen. My heart started to break again. He had just said that I was no one. He didn't tell his mom that I was his mate, he didn't tell her that he met his mate, but I hadn't told my mom that I met my mate either. So why did I have to feel this way?

"Isn't this the girl that you gave ice to a couple days ago?" His mom was leaning around Nash to get a better look at me as he was pushing me out of the kitchen. Every time he touched me it sent a small pleasant shock down my body. Was he ashamed of me, was that why he was blocking me from his mom's view? I stopped walking to the exit and turned around to face his mom.

"Yes I am." I didn't want him to be ashamed of me.

She looked down at my ankle where she must have saw he put the ice and back to my face, but she looked at my face longer than I thought. Exactly like how my mom looked at me this morning. "You look very familiar."

"Mom, everyone in the pack looks the same to you. Hey, do you like apples? I could go get you one?" He seemed nervous with how fast he was talking as he reached for my wrist urging me to follow him, but I stayed as his mom's eyes looked more into mine.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Amelia." This lady didn't look familiar to me, maybe she just knew me as the girl that had dated the alpha. I bet the kitchen staff enjoyed gossip every once in awhile, but that didn't seem to be what she was looking for as she just nodded her head as I could tell she was still thinking about something.

Nash got me to start walking, but I stopped again at his mother's next words, "Do you know someone named Flara?"

Nash's grip got stronger on my wrist. Some kind of strength that I didn't know an Omega could have, but not as strong as an Alpha's. I looked up to him and saw his eyes were begging me not to respond back to her. Did he know something that I didn't? I went against his begging and told his mom, "Yes she is my mom, do you know her?" Nash dropped his hand from my wrist and dropped his head.

"Do I know her?!" The lady's eyes started to become darker as she continued to look at me. I imagined this was the look that I gave Hillary before I attacked. I took a shaking step backwards as I walked closer to Nash. "That woman tried to sleep with my husband!" Her yell caused commotion to go on in the back room as a man came running out. He had the same blond hair color as Nash. He didn't look at Nash and I once, instead he headed straight for the screaming woman and wrapped his arms around her waist and arms.

Her breathing started to come out in ragged breaths as she was battling with herself to not shift.

The man started to speak to her, "That was a long time ago, and it never happened. Remember, I pushed her away from me. I only have eyes for you love, no one else." He turned her around so she was no longer facing me and leaned down to press his face into her neck.I could tell that she was slowly starting to calm down. Her breathing evening out.

The mans arm lifted off of her waist and with his wrist shewed Nash and I out of the kitchen. That was the only indication I needed as I walked out and was surprised that Nash was right behind me.

I couldn't believe my mom tried to sleep with him. It must have been a long time ago since she didn't spend her company with someone of such low status. I couldn't believe he was married and she still tried to get in his pants.

"I'm sorry about what went on in there." Nash's hands hanged limply by his sides. He didn't look up at me.

"Is that why you didn't tell your parents about me?" I had jumped to conclusions too fast and was starting to feel guilty. His reason for not telling his parents was better than me not telling mine. I didn't want my mom to be ashamed, but he didn't want me to get hurt.

"Partially."

"What is the other reason?" I didn't want to know, and I did. It was confusing.

"Y-your reputation around here." I knew it. Everyone knew I slept with the Alpha. I never thought it was a bad thing to show someone I loved them by sleeping with them. That's how everyone viewed it though. Especially now that everyone thought I slept with Bronny too. It must have looked like I was hopping from one bed to another.

"So you also think I'm a slut?"

"I didn't say that." He looked up at me and took a step closer.

"You said it in other ways." He stopped. "I'm not like her, you know." I looked to where his parents were previously embracing but saw they were now gone. They probably went back in the food closet because seeing me would only anger his mother more. I couldn't help that I was Flara's daughter. I couldn't help that my father left my mom and I. And I couldn't prevent my mom from sleeping around because of a broken heart.

In my head I started to connect my mom and I. How our outside appearance was similar, but also how we both continued to look for love that wanted to run in the other direction. Eventually my mom gave up on love and settled for money. I don't want to be like that. I wasn't like that.

"Please don't cry, I don't like to see you cry." He stood right in front of me with his arms out almost about to hug me, but I pushed his chest away. I have been doing a lot more crying in this past week then I've done in a year.

"Don't touch me!" I protectively wrapped my arms around myself.

His eyes downcast and he stood in his spot. "Then what can I do to help?"

"I want a fresh start." I didn't have to think, I just spoke.

"A fresh start?"

"I want you to forget about what you heard about me in the past. And listen when I tell you the complete truth, from me." He stayed silent. "I slept with one guy. I have only ever slept with Drake, because I loved him." I looked up to see his reaction, but he looked to be staying neutral. "Recently my feelings for him have started to go away, but it's hard for me to forget about him completely. He was my first love. I know you are my mate, and I should only love you, but it's not that easy for me. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it is the truth. I can't go back and change anything, and I know I wouldn't if I could, but I can ask you to forgive me."

"Can I say something?" I nodded. "I have never been in love before until I saw you in the Cafeteria. The way that you hold confidence as you walk or your your smile when you seem truly happy. The thought of you loving someone else, or kissing anyone besides me, does anger me, because I'm selfish and only want you for myself, but I think I can learn to understand your actions in the past as long as you will be with me in the future. So leaving all that behind and only focusing on eachother is what I want too."

I smiled. I wanted a fresh start and so did he. This was going to work. It had to work. "I actually would enjoy that apple right about now."

He smiled back. "Coming right up."

So I re-wrote the last part about three times and am still not too happy with it, but it will have to do for now. So this chapter I did not expect at all with his mom, but it works out. And I got a little emotional when Amelia talked about not being like her mom. Anyone else feel this way?"

This ending is a lot more sappy then I thought it was going to be. Im not digging it, but more action is coming.
