Spouses Omegaverse pack

Simon - Alpha and Pack Alpha

Kate - Alpha and second in command

Sophie - Beta

Penelope - Omega that people think is a Beta

Phillip - Alpha that people think is a Beta

Michael - Alpha with strong pheromones

Gareth - Beta

Lucy - Omega

Don't ask Simon how he became a pack alpha, he was perfectly fine just being a lone wolf and letting his bloodline die. He has no idea how he somehow gained seven (possibly more) others and somehow gained pack instincts. He did not ask for this! Now he knows why Anthony complained so much about his seven(+) hellions whose life missions are to stress him out.

Thank god for his bestie Kate who helps them keep their pack in line, at least when she's not busy growling at some lord who caused offense against their pack. He wished she stopped doing that. Even minor things she'll growl.

He and Kate both being alphas has also really helped when they're trying to wrangle their different pack memebers.

Then there's sweet reliable Sophie. The softer side to Kate's hard edge. On her own she might one of Simon's favorites. Her strong set of moral rules definitely keeps her in the top three. Her bestie on the other hand . . .

Michael deserves half a book from the stress he creates for Simon with his merry rake ways. Simon isn't even sure how they got Michael. He just randomly showed up one day after retiring from the military and never left. Despite that he is loyal to the pack and is always there for them if needed and vis versa.

Sophie being a beta isn't all that affected much with Michael's strong pheromones. Michael is grateful for that and he doesn't have to worry all that much about overwhelming Sophie should he accidentally slip on his control or forget to wear a perfume that helps dull his pheromones.

The other half of that stress book goes to Penelope. Usually a shy wallflower who loves writing, pray you never fall to her sharp tongue and observant eyes, nor ever see her bored. That's when she goes commit crimes and do shady business deals on the black market. He's seen her make a man cry with only a few words.

Penelope's best friend in the pack is Phillip. The pack jokes it's because Penelope is a wallflower and Phillip is a botanist that they get along so well. Simon does wonder if there is some truth to it though because Phillip rather be among the plants than around people. Michael calls Phillip a silent alpha. Well until you get him talking about plants.

Simon has watched Phillip fact check Penelope's stories when it comes to plants. Both claiming that that one poison scene must be accurate to what the berries do to the body. Also, Simon can make sure Penelope is okay when she goes commit crimes if Phillip is there with her. Them both being constantly mistaken for as betas instead of an alpha and omega respectively does help in this fact as well.

Then there is the babies of the pack, Gareth and Lucy. Actually now that Simon thinks about it this whole pack thing may have started when his godmother, Lady Danbury, threw her grandson Gareth at him and told him that he's Simon's responsibility now. Simon saw too much of himself in Gareth, a boy with a hunger and something to prove, he couldn't say no.

Then there's little Lucy, sweet Lucy who is always trying to make everyone happy. Simon and Kate are working on making her a little more selfish in that she'll thing for her happiness for a change.

Hi

How do you think philoise will develop in the next few seasons?

Will Theo be a major factor in that? Will Marina die the same way as in the books? Will they change the couple?

My head is exploding from the internet comments.

You know anon at this point I'm ready for anything really. I hope they don't change the couple, so here's my theory

I think Theo was supposed to Eloise' Sienna, her first love, to show she's okay with falling inlove as long as it's in her own terms. I agree with the comments Claudia Jesse has made I want to see Eloise date in the next few seasons.

Given that she's sort of the female version of Anthony's Alpha personality. I want to see Eloise in all her commitment phobic glory stubbornly keep discovering love again and again.

Because by the time she meets Phillip, Eloise is technically supposed to be more experienced than him in most emotional areas. And I think that could be a good direction for the show to take with Eloise, who by all means is meant to surprise Phillip and take his world by storm.

If the show builds up her character arc as someone who has dated and fallen inlove before and is tired of things not working out for one reason or another. While all her siblings are finding perfect matches. It could very well end up being the reason she decides to start a family once she does find someone she clicks perfectly with. Like Phillip

Hear me out okay. I'm not crazy. Eloise is a feminist, right now she's going about it in a ... Unorthodox way. But hopefully with Kate, Penelope and Sophie's influence next seasons she will learn the realities of the world of women liberation and find some work she can do to help women equality, without needing to go behind her family's back to do it.

So if she finds a man who instead of judging her for her ideals or trying to control her every move, agrees with her approach, let's her take the lead and 100% supports her in whatever scheme she devises. Yes I do think even Eloise would be okay with getting married and starting a family.

And then we have Phillip, who's only requirement in a wife is that he needs her to be a 'happy' sort of person. (I don't think that's any different for show Phillip).

I think with Phillip's arc the show will go in one of 3 ways since Bridgerton is neither historically or book accurate at this point:

-Either Marina gets fed up with life as Lady Crane and leaves Phillip with custody in order to live the life she's always wanted. While ascertaining that leaving them with Phillip what's best for the twins.

-The show introduces the concept of divorce to regency england, which meh might as well. And Phillip and Marina get amiably divorced.

-Or the most likely option, Marina gets either a tragic illness or dies in an accident saving her children+ Phillip.

All three options would preserve the integrity of Phillip's angst and Marina's possible depression without entirely butchering her character.

So by the time Phillip and Eloise meet. He's been hurt but he's also a lot more innocent than her from a relationship point of view. Because he's been in a loveless marriage for however long the twins have been alive. He's a mature family man but also dorky and kind. And he cares very little about social climbing and the ton gossip and the scandals and whatever the Queen says. Simply because he hasn't been exposed to it in years. What with Marina's scandal and all that

I can see Eloise meeting Phillip and just finding home. The main conflict of the story in the philoise season I think would be a reverse Anthony in the sense that she has the perfect man Infront of her and she DOESN'T want to get married ever.

I can see Eloise slowly getting attached to Philip and his kids and just making up 100 reasons why things between them won't work out, like they didn't work out with Theo, or any other suitor. So she can remain safe and single and not risk her heart.

She's NOT getting married

Meanwhile Phillip also having an identity crisis thinking he's not good enough for her and she deserves better than a guy who has (insert manpain of preference here) and two kids. And basically being the annoying angsty P.I.T.A that Simon and Anthony were when they were trying to convince themselves that falling inlove with Daphne and Kate wasn't a good idea

Add in some unnecessary contrived storylines that give a reason why half the season storyline is set in London and not Romney Hall, like in the books, maybe something scandalous about Phillip's past. Or Eloise urgent need to flee from her house.

Plus Maybe something sinister plotline about the evil nanny in the house, Possibly flashbacks of Marina and Theo. Some well meaning but disastrous Bridgerton meddling and the obligatory ballroom scenes where Phillip and Eloise must dance to the string quartet version of Clean bandit's 'Rather be'

And there you have it, my theory on how I think Philoise may advance in the show.

Also dear readers if I'm robbed of the eye of the tiger, Eloise vs Twins prank wars montage (as I was robbed of the Kanthony sex montage) you will bloddy hear my wrath. I want to see Eloise go full gremlin level chaos against those kids and have the most fun ever. I need that scene ok!

To those of you who like Penelope think Eloise needs an adventurer like Colin. I'd like to venture my opinion that the kind of man Eloise needs has one characteristic only: he let's her be the boss in the relationship.

Because since unlike Anthony, she's not a man who can be fully independent, Eloise personality is such that she always needs to feel like she's in control, like she's got the reins of her life, like love is something she owns, but doesn't own her, any love interest who voices even a smidge of doubt that this may be the case would be dropped by this Alpha girl like a hot potato. No thank you, she's either the boss of the relationship or she's alone, there's no in between.

And the greatest irony of all is that at least in the books, this is exactly what Phillip is looking for and finds attractive. Sure he's got a backbone and can stand up for himself, but if his love interest is the boss he's more than happy to let her be. She's loud and opinionated, he NEEDS loud and opinionated, his former marriage was filled with uncomfortable silence.

Not that Phillip is perfect, he's still got things to work on, (starting with his communication skills). But darn does he appreciate Eloise for how she takes charge. And I like that about him.

I am really looking forward to the fanfiction mess that Netflix will play out for Eloise, she's a wonderful character. Let's hope for the best don't you think dear reader

And that's the tea

[sea-owl]

I just read your post about philoise and the omegaverse. What happens after Eloise goes into heat?

What does that mean?

What can Phillip do for her?

So in omegaverse there is sometimes a, I don't wanna say trope but that's the best word I can think of at the moment, where when a pair of mates or true mates are separated willingly or not their bodies go into an unexpected heat/rut.

It's their bodies' way to trying to bring their mate back to them. Some authors do it when one of them loses the smell of their mate and then their alpha or omega thinks they've been abandoned. Depending on the author sometimes the person can ride it out but it's usually painful, the worse heat/rut the person has ever has. Others might make it a continuous heat/rut until the mate gets there to ride out the heat/rut with their partner.

So, in the philoise situation, Eloise was instinctually already preparing itself in a way to join Phillip's pack and become his mate. Her mind was taking a little bit to catch up. She was stealing Phillip's clothes to make a nest. She was scenting the twins like a mother would. But when her brothers barged in and took her back to My Cottage it set off that heat. To the omega inside Eloise it was being forcibly taken away from her mate and pups. So her body set off a heat to try and bring her alpha back to her.

I don't remember where my line of thought was for this but I think I was gonna go with that the guys were originally gonna keep her away but after a day or two of the heat not stopping Sophie either convinces them to take her back to Phillip or she takes Eloise back to Phillip herself. There we discover that Phillip is in a continuous soft rut. He's not in full rut because he has the twins still.

[sea-owl]

I can't find the comment, but someone asked me about the ABO designations I would give in Bridgerton. I know I already did Kate and Sophie, but I thought, why not?

So the Bridgertons themselves are alpha sons and omega daughters good? Good, good. Fits in their whole prolific family, tge ton's darlings thing.

Anyway, for the spouses, a lot of my thoughts do take in consideration their stories as well.

Kate - Alpha, also acceptable, is an omega with alpha traits. Kate is stubborn and bull headed. Able to go toe to toe with Anthony and even best him at his own game at times. When he's doing his duties as head of the family, she's there to make sure he's taken care of, too. Anthony wanted an alpha-omega pairing like his parents, which is partly the reason he went after omega Edwina first, but what he needed and where his true mate lied was with alpha Kate. I also picture Anthony having a guilty pleasure of being pinned down and letting go of that control but he can only do that when Kate as an alpha temporarily takes it from him.

Sophie - Beta, also acceptable, is omega with beta traits. This does play into Sophie's illegitimate status as I do believe an illegitimate alpha or omega daughter would have higher chances of being legitimized by her father than a "common man" beta daughter. Plays more into the hierarchies usually seen in ABO fics. Also plays into the the Benedict didn't recognize her at first because his dumb self thought the one he was looking for was an omega. Sophie would also be safer, not safe but safer, when she worked as a maid being a beta rather than an omega.

Penelope - Omega. This plays in that Penelope does not look like the other omega daughters of the ton and later on her spinster years, plays into her insecurities that has been shaped by others like Cressida where she saw kindess to her as pity. Also, truly, who would think that such a meek and shy omega would have the roar of Lady Whistledown?

Simon - Alpha. Simon on paper is society's perfection, the Duke's Alpha. No one knows underneath that he worked to craft that image because his father tossed him aside because he was not the perfect alpha son. He had a stutter and took a little longer to talk because of it. A small thing in the grand scheme of things but the former duke made a mountain out of a mole hill and then crushed Simon underneath.

Phillip - Alpha. Phillip didn't want to be an alpha, as his only real influence he had was his father. Now Phillip has a quieter strength to him, and he still has that alpha temper, and it terrifies him. This also plays into his dynamic with Eloise. Eloise is the active pusuer chasing Phillip in their story as she is the one who keeps their letters going by asking him questions, and then shows up on his doorstep after he suggests seeing if marriage was possible. An omega chasing an alpha, a very rare thing.

Michael - Alpha, also acceptable, is omega. I can see Michael being either, especially when we go into his own self-esteem issues when he compares himself to John. With either one, I can also see him having strong pheromones, which makes him smell very good and play into his merry rake bit.

Gareth - Beta or Omega with alpha traits, a special case can be made for Alpha, though. Now, this one goes into his relationship with his stepdad and the hatred between them. Depending on what you make, Gareth's brother is how I would put Gareth. If his brother is an alpha, then beta or omega Gareth. Baron St Clair had the perfect alpha son, but now that he's passed and his estate is going to Gareth, the illegitimate son of his wife and brother, that he has hated since birth, he's making sure the boy inherits nothing but debt. If Gareth's brother is a beta or omega, then I would make Gareth an alpha to play that Baron St. Clair despises that his seed had not created an alpha son but what he views as his wife's mistake did.

Lucy - Omega with beta traits. She's seen as the underdog, the less desired one, especially when it comes to her friendship with Hermione, who I picture would be the "perfect" darling omega.

You have created so many fabulous Bridgerton AUs but can you imagine all your Colin’s, book Colin, and TV Colin meeting each other via into the Spiderverse style? Younger Colin who loves his brothers best friend is very jealous of how ShowColin clearly had Pens affection and messed it up! Meanwhile, book Colin feels pretty smug about the fact that he’s married to Penelope and didn’t insult his Penelope as badly compared to the other guy. The Colin dating Gothic Penelope is bonding with Hades Colin over their deadly wives and children.

BookColin: You mean to tell me that in this universe, your close friends with Penelope and she writes you lovely letters?! If that had been the case with me and my Penelope, we would have married much sooner!

ShowColin: Wait, your married to Penelope?! Penelope Featherington?! But she’s MY dearest friend!

OtherColins: Oh honey…

All my Colins plus book and tv Colins? In one room? Oh my.

In all seriousness it would probably be funny as hell to see all those simps in one place. They're gonna have two thoughts on their minds, food and Penelope. One hand is holding a picture of their wife, and the other is holding an eclair.

Book Colin is sitting back and enjoying the chaos, TV Colin is confused because how have so many versions of him end up married to his dear friend Penelope?

Older Pen Colin is jealous of TV Colin for effortlessly gaining the affections of his sibling's best friend, but then declaring he never court her in front of other members of the ton. Meanwhile Older Pen Colin and Engagement of Convivence Colin is also asking Book Colin for advice to seduce Penelope.

Gothic Featheringtons Colin, Yandere Colin and Hades Colin are comparing some of the scary yet sexy things their Penelopes have done. Though Hades Colin is very much judging Gothic Featheringtons Colin's pastel blue coat. Hades Colin is trying to convince Gothic Featheringtons Colin to give jewel tones a try. Don't you wanna match your Penelope?

Childhood Friends Phillip and Penelope Colin is discussing with Featherington-Crane Stepfamily Colin about how their Phillips and Penelopes have absolutely no boundaries. True Mates Colin says his omega Penelope isn't quite that close with Phillip,ya but he is her pack alpha despite not being blood related, which puts them a lot closer than what is considered normal. Book and TV Colins are confused because since when was Penelope that close with Elosie's/Marina's husband? Swan Princess Colin says at least it's just Phillip and not Michael too. Then Spouses Friend Group Colin jumps in saying at least it's just Phillip and not all his siblings' spouses. Hades Colin agrees and says at least they don't randomly break into your house.

All the Colins pause when an 8-year-old Colin appears, a picture of a baby girl with red hair in his hand. Book Colin goes over to make sure the kid doesn't freak out. Kid Colin is confused but he's soon distracted when Book Colin asked him who the girl in the picture was. Kid Colin proudly tells him that the girl in the picture is his Pen, his future wife!

AU where spinster sisters alpha Colleen and omega Eloise travel to Romney Hall together after an invitation from Eloise's pen pal, an alpha by the name of Sir Phillip Crane, to see if he and Eoise suit for marriage.

Colleen doesn't expect much from this trip besides Eloise possibly getting married and mated (wouldn't that be a miracle) and getting a chance to drive Benedict up a wall when they stop at My Cottage. Colleen hasnt done that in a while. She is completely unprepared to go weak in the knees by the intoxicating scent coming from Phillip's spinster omega cousin, Penelope Featherington.

So Eloise might not be the only one who gets married on this trip. So sue her, Colleen can't help that her mate was here too.

[sea-owl]

I am fairly new to the omegaverse. But the philose content drew me in.

Philip causes her to go into heat. She is scared shitless because of her feelings, wanting to flee but also wanting to be with his pups.

I would love to know how it ends. 🌶 or otherwise.

This sounds like it might be coming from @thekatebridgerton omegaverse post I rebloged found here. But let me take a crack at it and put my own spin on it.

I'm getting a little stuck, so here's what I got so far.

Now to be fair to Eloise when she had snuck off to Romney Hall to see Sir Phillip Crane she had thought he was a beta. Not that there was anything wrong with betas! Eloise’s older brother, Benedict, his true mate was revealed to be a beta,and the whole family agreed Sophie was too good for the alpha. Sir Phillip was always just so extremely polite in their letters too, there was a calmness to them that Eloise had only seen in betas before. His pine scent, one of the most delicious scents Eloise had come across, had been faint in the letters like most beta’s scents. Eloise had always been the odd omega, so maybe her true mate was a beta too like her brother’s.

That pine scent was no where near faint when Eloise stepped into Romney Hall.

Eloise felt her omega perk up. Alpha?

The butler, Gunning she believed he said his name was, had returned with the owner of the house, and Eloise felt her knees grow weak. Her honeysuckle scent spiking as the source of the pine scent came nearer.

Alpha! Her omega cooed.

The Sir Phillip that was brought before Eloise was a rugged looking, mountain of a man. His hair was brown and he didn’t wear the clothes she seen other lords wear before. Instead the man before her wore plain and simple worker’s clothes. A simple shirt, pants, and boots. No cravat in sight that the men usually wore to hide their mating glands. Dear God she could see his neck, and more importantly the unbitten mating gland on the side of it.

Eloise felt herself grow nervous, and unfortunately or perhaps rather fortunately when Eloise got nervous she started to talk, a lot.

As Eloise continued to babble on Sir Phillip just watched her. Eloise felt herself begin to grow hot.

A loud thump finally cut her off and distracted her.

"What was that?"

Another loud thump. Phillip winced. "That would be my pups."

Eloise's eyes widen. Pups? He had never once mentioned being a father in their letters. She was just about to say so when a third thump was heard, this one sounding worse than the other two. And followed by a scream.

"Are you going to investigate?" Eloise urged.

Phillip sighed like it was the last thing he wanted to do. Going to the stairs he hollered, "Oliver! Amanda!"

Eloise held back a shiver from the alpha voice, leaking into Phillip's tone.

Small footsteps could be heard until a pair of twins were seen hurrying down the stairs.

"What was that noise?" Phillip asked them.

"What noise?"

"The scream."

The boy pointed at his sister. "That was Amanda."

"Amanda why did you scream?"

"There was a frog in my bed," the little girl answered.

Phillip turned back to Oliver. "And why was there a frog in Amanda's bed?"

"I put it there!" Amanda said.

Eloise held back her giggles. It reminded her of her own time as a pup. Especially when she teamed up with her younger siblings to drive Anthony up a wall.

The twins took notice of her. Immediately their scent soured. "Who is that?"

"This is Miss Eloise Bridgerton." Phillip introduced her. "She’ll be staying here for. . .

Eloise stood up and came closer. "Two weeks."

Phillip nodded.

The twins continued to stare at Eloise with suspicion before turning back to their father, begging for his attention.

Eloise’s heart went out for those pups. At their age they should still have their mother’s and sire’s scents marked on them. Or at the very least the pack leader should be scent marking the young if the parents are unable to do so. That’s what Anthony had done when their father passed and their mother unable to rise from the bed. Why was Phillip’s scent not there?

-

Eloise growled at her brothers. “Take me back to alpha!”

“Eloise Bridgerton!” One of them called out her name, Anthony maybe? Eloise didn’t care. Her body was slowly setting itself on fire and the cramps in her belly were getting worse with each passing minute.

A calming scent of lavender rushed Eloise as a cooling hand pressed to her forehead. Eloise stopped growling, but still bared her teeth. The hand was too soft and small to be alpha’s hand. Why won’t they take her back to alpha?

“She’s going into heat,” a new voice said. Sophie.

“Well have the staff prepare a room for her.”

Eloise growled again. Absolutely not, she needs alpha, why do they not listen to her? Please just take her back to alpha!

Eloise could feel Sophie pull her in for cuddles, pushing her head into the right side of Sophie’s neck. Eloise breathed in the beta’s calming scent. She needed a semi clear head if she was going to get back to alpha.

“I don’t think that will help,” Sophie said. “And I don’t think this is a regular heat.”

Sophie was right, Sophie was always right. Why doesn’t Benedict listen to Sophie more?

[sea-owl]

I started answering a philoise ask for an omegaverse au of them and it's gotten a little long. Here's a sneak peak

So I never posted the edited ao3 version of this post for the true mates au on Tumblr. And since I am currently working on the next part for this au I should probably fix that. Here you go. 

"You were avoiding Mama and Papa today," Maina said. "Does it have something to do with a certain alpha?"

Penelope winced. Damn, she was hoping Marina hadn't noticed. "I was not avoiding them. I was merely avoiding their unsubtle hints about me and Pip courting."

"Oh, Penelope why don't you want to marry Phillip? We could really be sisters then," Marina said, holding her cousin tighter. The two omegas were cuddling in Marina's nest. Marina's heat was due soon and it always helped if another unmated omega was there before and after the heat.

Because Pip and I only see each other as pack mates, Penelope thought. Because I would rather write my novels and Pip wants to study his plants. Because it would be the most awkward marriage and mating ever.

Truthfully the only real advantage Phillip and Penelope would have being married to one another is that they would let each other continue their passions and be left alone by others. Penelope couldn't say that though. Her cousins didn't even know she was the novel writer Lady Whistledown, it wasn't something a proper omega did.

But her romantic cousin did believe in true mates.

Penelope leaned in closer to whisper to Marina. "I believe I have found my true mate."

"Penelope," Marina gasped. "Who is it? Have I met him?"

Penelope shook her head. "Do you remember my pen pal Eloise?"

"Ms. Bridgerton?" Marina asked.

Penelope nodded. "Yes, one of her brothers caught my scent from a letter I sent her. He sent me a letter with Eloise's and oh Marina. I just know he is my mate."

"Which brother?"

Penelope ran through a list of names in her head, trying to remember Elosie's actual brothers' names so she didn't choose one of them. How many did she say she had again? Three? Yes, that sounds about right, two older and one younger. The Bridgertons were so well known, even out here, for their being many in their pack and for all looking so alike that half the time most don't know which one is which from a distance. Surly no would notice if she added one more, and Eloise would help surely help her if she knew Penelope was doing it to avoid marriage.

A name, she needed to pick a name.

"Colin. His name is Colin Bridgerton."

Later that night Penelope wrote two letters. One to Eloise, and one to the mate she made up.

Dear Eloise,

My cousins are once again trying to push me and Phillip to court, no matter how many times we tell them we see each other no more than as pack mates. I may have fibbed and told them I have recently started a long-distanced courtship with one of your brothers. Colin is the first name that came to mind. If you could please help me I greatly appreciate it.

with great thanks ,

Penelope Featherington

The letter she wrote to the made-up brother was shorter, adding in a few details she remembers Eloise said about one of her actual brothers.

Dear Mr. Bridgerton,

Thank you kindly for your first letter. You will have to write to me while on your tour around the Mediterranean. I have heard you could find really good tomato plants there.

yours truly,

Penelope Featherington

On the back of her stationary, she added some musings she had once written on new love when Marina and George first started courting.

Two weeks later Penelope found herself having a picnic with Marina and the Cranes. George and Marina were sitting on a blanket a little ways away from Phillip and Penelope, still in sight but far enough to where they couldn't hear their conversation. Phillip and Penelope were sent to keep an eye on the engaged couple.

Phillip rolled his eyes. "More like scheme to have us start courting too," he muttered under his breath.

"Yes, your. . .father and my guardians do seem rather persistent," Penelope agreed. "Which is a wonder since you'll be starting Cambridge soon Pip."

Phillip glared into the distance; the same one he used when thinking about Sir Crane. "Anything to make me proper alpha. I guess we should be grateful that your pack alpha has not given in to the arrangement Penny."

Which was odd, since it was her pack alpha, her father, Lord Featherington, that sent her live in Gloucestershire with her cousins in the first place. One would think he would make arrangements to keep her out here since to her knowledge neither of her parents knew what to do with an omega. Everyone else in her family was betas, from her parents to her three sisters.

"I still can't believe you made up a fake mate," Phillip whispered.

Penelope looked down at her letters. She had received two from Eloise. One smelled of Eloise's warm scent of honeysuckle, the smell becoming more potent as she opened the envelope.

"If I had not Sir. Crane," Penelope spat the name, " and my guardians would certainly have us engaged to be married."

It was almost too easy for Penelope to spin the tale to her guardians of a long-distance suitor who she believed to be her true mate, and that her mama was help coordinating back in London. Neither really wrote to Lady Featherington, Mr. Thompson exclusively only wrote to Lord Featherington.

Penelope pulled out the letter.

Dear Penelope,

Yes, I shall help you at once! We still have accomplishments we must achieve and how are we to do that when they try to marry you off when you are not even out in society yet!

Though really Penelope, Colin? Of all your choices, you chose Colin? I suppose it is better than Gregory.

you friend,

Eloise

Penelope smiled. "Oh, this is wonderful Pip, now you can continue your studies at Cambridge and . . .Pip?"

Phillip sat next to Penelope in a daze, his body shaking, and his unfocused eyes staring at the letter in her hands. "Lonicera," he muttered, breathing in deeply.

"Phillip!" Penelope yelled.

Whatever scattered her friend's mind stopped it's control. Phillip blinked a few times before coming back to himself. "I'm sorry Penny. I'm not sure what happened."

"You're not about to go into a rut are you?" Penelope asked, leaning away.

Phillip shook his head. "No, I'm not due for a while."

Penelope stared at her friend for a few moments before turning back to her other letter. This one didn't contain Eloise's scent; she must have sprayed some sort of perfume on it. The perfume gave off a scent of an ocean breeze with hints of citrus. It was the most wonderful scent Penelope has ever smelled. She must remember to ask Eloise what perfumed she sprayed it with.

Dear Penelope Featherington,

I thank you for your well wishes and will make sure to write to you on my travels. You say there are good tomato plants in Greece? I shall be eagerly awaiting to see if that is true.

yours,

Colin Bridgerton

Over the next few years Penelope kept sending letters to her Mr. Bridgerton. She must really commend Eloise for her dedication to keep up the charade, even if she still hasn't told Penelope what perfume she sprays the letters with. If Penelope was not the one to make up Mr. Colin Bridgerton she would have sworn he was real. Eloise put so many details in of a young man traveling to different parts of the world that Penelope wonders where she learned them. She even pretended to send gifts from those travels. Penelope busted out laughing when the first one of tomato plant seeds came in with a note.

You were right Pen, there are good tomato plants here.

yours,

Colin

Penelope wished things went as smoothly with the rest of her life. When she was 17, George had went to battle and died, leaving behind an unmarried and unbitten pregnant mate. Phillip was dragged home by his father who had died two weeks after George. Now the lord of Romney Hall Phillip tried to honor his brother and look after Marina and her unborn child. They had married when Marina was three months along, but never mated. No one dared spoke about how Sir Crane and Lady Crane had no mating marks.

Marina was never the same. During the last months of her pregnancy, she had become snappy with Phillip, and demanded that Penelope not leave her side.

"Penelope will move in with us!" Marina ordered. "She will be my companion and my child's governess!"

Phillip and Penelope had hoped that once Marina gave birth she would calm, but no such luck. After the twins were born Marina had become despondent. She never left her rooms and allowed very few to enter.

"Penny how is she today?" Phillip asked one morning, his voice barely above a whisper. "Do you think she would like to see the children?"

"She barely has spoken, nor eaten," Penelope relied. "She only stares ahead of her. I fear brining in the children would send her into another fit."

For two years they lived like that before the sickness took hold of Marina and she allowed it to take her.

Phillip and Penelope were reading over condolence letters when she got the rare letter from her mother.

Penelope,

I am sorry to tell you this but your father has passed. Come next season when we go into half mourning, I will need you in London. It is time for you to be serious about your suitor.

Penelope stopped reading. Her father was dead. She supposes as her official pack leader and sire she should mourn his loss. She's sure her sisters in London are.

Penelope read over the letter once more. Still she felt like she was reading about the death of an unnamed character in one of her novels.

Penelope puts down her mother's letter and picks up the one from her fake suitor.

My darling Pen,

I cannot begin to imagine the pain you are going through right now. It is never easy to lose one member of your pack, much less two. I hear you are to come to London next season. I shall be waiting for you here. Mayhaps we shall finally see if we suit for marriage.

patiently waiting,

Colin

"My mother expects me to return to London next season. I am to join the marriage mart," Penelope said.

Phillip nodded. "I will accompany you. We will both be in half mourning and be able to begin courting others."

Penelope looked up, her confusion leaking into her scent. "You will come to London with me?"

Phillip smiled. Penelope could smell his smugness at shocking her in his pine scent. "I figured we would both like someone we would know there when taking on the marriage mart. I need to find the children a new mother."

"You should find yourself a mate," Penelope muttered under her breath.

Penelope was 20 when she stepped back into London for the first time since her parents decided they could not raise an omega. Her dress was lavender and her gloves black.

Phillip stepped out of the carriage beside her with his black gloves and coat.

They are greeted in the Featherington drawing room by Penelope's mother and three sisters, along with two unknown alphas and an unknown omega.

That familiar smell of ocean and citrus hits Penelope so hard she's thankful Phillip has given her his arm to escort her in. She's not sure she would be standing if he didn't.

"Penelope, Sir Crane" Portia said. "This is Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, Lady Violet Bridgerton, and Mr. Colin Bridgerton."

Phillip shot Penelope a look. I thought you made him up.

Penelope shot Phillip a look back. So did I.

[sea-owl]

So I'm thinking ABO true mates polin and philoise, with childhood friends Phillip and Penelope, and some "I made up a fake suitor but turns out he's real and now we're planning a wedding. Oops" As always, I'm on mobile so I'm sorry for the long post.

So, the Featheringtons are a family of betas, they haven't had an alpha or an omega born into it for generations, until Penelope. Portia who has no idea how to even raise an omega daughter sends Penelope off to live with their cousins the Thompson in Gloucestershire who also have an omega daughter, Marina. Penelope grows up with Marina and the Crane boys, Phillip being her best friend. At some point she starts a pen pal relationship with Eloise.

By the time Penelope is sixteen there has been talks about arranging a marriage between her and Phillip. As much as Penelope loves the passive alpha both of them cringe at the thought of being mates. It doesn't help Marina and George also seemed keen on the idea.

"Oh Penelope why not? We could be sisters," Marina said. The two omegas were cuddling in Marina's nest. Marina's heat was due soon and it always helped if another unmated omega was there before and after the heat.

Because Phillip and I only see each other as pack mates, Penelope thought. Because I would rather write my novels and Phillip wants to study his plants. Because it would be the most awkward marriage ever.
