Clarity

Before Sophia knew she was an omega, she didn't realize just how reliant she was on people's scents. 

One thing she learned was that children of omega or alpha classifications often preferred whichever parent had opposing or neutral pheromones to their own. 

Sophia remembered she always preferred her father and grandpa as she read that paragraph in her educational material.

While Luca's spearmint pheromones permeated her senses as he pressed his lips against hers, she felt like a flower that had finally been watered after a long drought. He woke up her senses and she felt whole again. 

Their bond no longer made her feel heavy but she was electrified. She would never be addicted to drugs but she could feel herself getting addicted to him.
