Athena Chapter 12.

I woke up feeling sluggish and warm, warmer than usual and my room was thick with the scent of Lilac . I sat up in bed and noticed that I was starting to sweat, a deep burning coming up from within. I was hypersensitive to all the smells around me and became scared, I was shaking before I even knew it and just wanted to have Deku with me. I could feel my nape burning and aching and I reached up to rub the area to discover that my collar was no longer on me and the teeth marks were gone, there weren't even any scars to feel. I looked around my room for my collar but it was gone.

I looked towards to door and saw the young lady who looks after me looking in. I tried to get up from the bed but that is when it hit, a full force of pain, heat and longing from deep within spread over my body with such force I collapsed to the floor, panting from the heat my body was producing. I felt a warm liquid run down my thigh. All the hairs on my body were standing up; I couldn't focus all I wanted was Deku but I couldn't feel his connection anymore, I couldn't sense him or Shoto.

The young women entered my room and walked over to me wearing a mask. She bent down to help me back on to the bed but as soon as she touched me my body reacted, making me dry heave from her touch and cry out in pain. This had never happened before; she was always helping me and touching me when brushing my hair. She was talking to me but I couldn't hear anything through the panic and growl that my body was realising. She left the room and I heard the locks on the door before she walked away.

My body was craving Deku; I never had to fight this feeling before, feeling as if I am fighting myself as two different people. I wanted to stay in my senses but my body and mind wanted to turn off and wanted him to totally overpower me and dominate me. With this another wave of pain hit me, this time it was my nape which had become swollen and so hot, it just knew it wanted his cold fangs to pierce it.

Recovery Girl was the next to come into my room, she wanted to check I was ok and dealing with my first real heat and the breaking of the temporary bond, but I rejected her touch the same as I had with the young women. She walked out of the room and I could hear her say his name before the pain hit so hard that I passed out on the floor.

Lavender, it was the first thing I smelt as I came round. I was still on the floor and covered in a blanket thick with his scent. I looked around to find that I was still in my own in the room but he was standing outside, a window and door between us. He was wearing a mask and was red in the face, he was looking down and then looked directly into my eyes, a jolt of pleasure flowed through me, I noticed how his eyes were glowing, a beautiful light green and full of lust and wanting, my eyes were glowing a brilliant violet colour and could see them in the reflection. The women or the Omega in me was desperate to get to him and it would do anything to have him. My body was moving on its own towards to window and the door, firing everything that I had to break it open but nothing could damage it.

I stood at the window looking at him deep in the eyes, he removed his mask and was panting just as heavily as me. My hands on the window desperate to get to him and I could see him becoming covered in green lighting and red marks and his fist was pulled back, about to smash into window.

Shoto appeared suddenly and injected something into his arm before grabbing him and pulling him into a tight and passionate embrace right before my eyes. The Omega in me was screaming, a growl left my lips as my Alpha was being kissed and touched right before me. Deku collapsed into Shoto's arms and he looked at me pleased, a smirk across his face that he had stopped Deku from smashing the window and claiming me. How I wanted him to claim me and make me his. Another scream left my lips as another stronger wave hit me causing me to collapse once again on the floor. This was how it was for the next few days with the pain and heat hitting its strongest after 3 days before easing back down again. Deku was no longer allowed to be near me or see me during this time. Every other day a new item was brought into me with his scent on and the item before was removed, I could only assume that it was given to him. After 5 or 6 days I was back to normal and my collar was brought back in the room. I was no longer rejecting the touch of others and she placed it onto my neck and locking it into place.

Recovery Girl came in on the 7th day and explained to me that it was my heat and the temporary bond being broken. The heat alone was a painful experience but a bond being broken whether it was temporary or not was like being ripped apart slowly and in the most horrible way possible, it can cause the Omega to become mental unstable and in turn makes their quirk become unstable. She was impressed at how well I had managed to keep my sanity during the bond breaking. I had experienced a lot of things in my life and for once I was glad that I had endured all the torture and mental punishment as it had made me stronger and able to hold onto myself in that state. I wanted to ask her so much but once again was cut off before I could. I had to get cleaned up and head to the principal's office, I had completely forgotten about my entrance exams results.

Midnight was to escort me to the office and this was the chance to ask.

"Midnight, do you mind if I ask you about the special circumstances of our second gender?" I said in a non confident voice.

"Athena, you may. We have a walk to get the office after all" she said.

"Deku and Shoto both mentioned about fated mates, what exactly are they?"

"An Alpha can claim and mate any Omega that is in heat and during their Rut, no matter what their first sex is. A fated mate is something else. Fated mates are very rare and only 100 cases worldwide have been reported. An Alpha who is born to have a fated mate will always feel empty and longing for something, the same for the Omega, but the Omega will reject everyone during their heat, unless that person is their fated mate" she said and looked at me to see if I was following, a nod was all I could give her.

"You are Deku's fated mate, we are not sure how as you have come from a different world and have possibly caused a change in him. I heard that he came to see you during your heat?"

"Yes he did from what I could remember, I think his eyes were glowing when they meet mine!" I said.

"Yes, that is the sign of a fated mate pair recognising each other. I was told that your eyes were also glowing and that you caused a mess in your room trying to get to him." she said as she looked at me with a small chuckle on her lips.

I just blushed from the hazy memory of it but knew it to be true.

"Well now that your two have recognised each other, you will only want each other. You will both become over protective of each other and I'm sure that you have felt his presence again since then?"

"I had noticed that I could feel something and sometimes distress or pain, Wait! Was that from him" I said surprised. This was all new to me.

"Yes and he is the same with you, only more so. He can tell where you are by your scent which he told me was that of lilac but your scent to me is of apples. Fated mates are said to tell each other from their scents being flowers. How does his scent smell like to you?"

"He smells of Lavender." I paused, "Why did Shoto form a temporary bond with me? If me and Deku are fated mates then how come he could form it? He smells of vanilla to me" I asked confused and a bit upset.

"We are unsure of how he managed to form a bond with you. It might of been from him smelling of Deku, maybe from the fact you two hadn't officially recognised each other, a pseudo-heat from you, we just don't know. You need to be careful of Shoto, I say this as I know he was the one to bring Deku to your room during your heat."

"Do you think he is angry at me for ruining their relationship, he told me that they had been going out for 6 months and Deku wanted to end it all to be with me. Why would be bring Deku to me if he knew this was going to be the result?" I said.

She stopped walking to look at me, "He might be angry and wanted to punish you and Deku but If he formed a bond once he may be able to do it again. Any Alpha can bond you outside of your heat without you rejecting them, but it will be temporary and I am sure you don't want to go through breaking it again"

I just stood there in silence and thought on what she had said.

"Athena, I haven't told you anything to try and frighten you but you need to know this. There are rules and laws that protect you but second sex crimes are still around. An alpha can form and break a bond on will with an Omega, they can even trigger a pseudo-heat to do this. We can talk more about this later, once you have processed this more" and with that we were at the main building and heading to the elevator again.

We arrived at the office and inside was Nezu, Eraser Head, Shoto, Deku, A blue haired guy with glasses and a small and elegant girl with black hair. I just walked in a greeted everyone before taking my usual seat.

Nezu walked around his desk and today he was wearing a the same style suit but in a different colour, everyone else was dressed as usual.

I looked over to Deku before Nezu spoke but he was looking elsewhere and was blushing in his usual way.

"Athena, I would like to thank you for coming to this meeting so soon after finishing your heat. I would like to introduce you to the two class representatives for 1A. The young man in glasses is Ilda Tenya and the young lady is Yaoyorozu Momo." as he spoke their names they both just stood and nodded then sat down once again.

"I congratulate you on passing all of your entrance exams and would like to welcome you to UA high. If you accept then we can get you into their class and living in the dorms with everyone. What do you think?" he said with a smile on his face.

I was honestly shocked that I had passed the written exam and was even more shocked to find out that they had dorms. I looked around the room and saw that Tenya and Momo were smiling, they had very warm smiles and I felt very welcome, Shoto was not so welcoming with his smile but he did have a small curl up on the side of his lips, almost like he was planning something. Deku was just smiling his beautiful smile with blushed cheeks and his emerald eyes were on me. I had to think of what to say, do I live here with everyone and stay by Deku or do I leave? My inner Omega did not like this thought one bit and sent pain into my chest, which I knew he felt as he also grabbed his chest.

"Athena, Midoriya there is something that we need to tell you about being fated mates. You two have recognised each other as fated mates, with this you need to be able to see and touch regularly, if you do not then you both will become more and more unstable to the point of being in a unstable feral state" Midnight said with concern in her tone.

"Feral state?" I said without thinking.

"A feral state is when you become so desperate to protect or claim each other that you loss total control of yourself, that includes your quirks. An unstable feral state is much worse, it makes you want to commit suicide by over using your quirks, your mind is also lost and all the people who have every experienced this have died. We don't want this to happen to you so even if you decide that you don't want to attend then we can arrange for regular visits for you both." Midnight said whilst holding both mine and Deku's hand.

"A normal feral state can be controlled and stopped but we would rather not have either" Nezu said to gain our attention once again. "We don't want to scare you or force you to make a decision based on this with this but it is something that is very important" he continued.

Shoto was the one who looked the most shocked out of all of us, he was sitting with his mouth open and had become pale. I don't think he truly understood what it meant to be a fated pair, he looked at Midoriya and could see that he was looking at me, waiting for a favourable answer.

"I would like to attend and spend time with Dek.... Midoriya" I said, blushing at knowing his last name finally.

"Brilliant. Now there are some rules that you will need to follow but Ilda and Yaoyorozu will tell you them once you have reached the dorms. Also you will need to have a different collar and other items but we can do that later. Let me congratulate you on become a student at UA High once again." Nezu said and before I knew it I was a student once again, it had been years since I last was in a class and part of something, the joy was overwhelming and tears flowed down my face.

I left the office with everyone and in the elevator Midoriya held out his hand to me and I reached to him, as soon as our hands touched I felt a warmness throughout my body and this was something new to me, a part of me was thrilled by his touch and caused me to become a blushing mess, all the while everyone was just pretending they didn't notice, well all apart from Shoto.
