Realistically, Leda knew this would not be an easy feat, given Brumeh's power and resources. Nevertheless, her determination was unwavering. She was determined to find a way out, regardless of the cost.Brumeh reluctantly acknowledged the doctor's words and allowed his mate to sink back onto the sheets. "I'll be back. Let me know if anything changes. And don't forget that if she dies, you die too," he warned before turning on his heel and slamming the door shut behind him. His eyes blazed with molten gold as he surveyed the room.Leda watched as the doctor leaned over her with a calm expression. He gently examined her body, in stark contrast to the Alpha male who had pawed at her. However, Leda still flinched as each bruise was prodded."I can't give you enough pain relief without knocking you out again," the doctor explained, typing on a beeping terminal above her head. "But in your current state, unconsciousness might be a blessing."Memories flooded back to her. The Alpha had done

Leda was engulfed in an agonizing haze, as if she had leaped from a skycar hovering over the Astropolis and plummeted hundreds of miles to the ground. Her entire body was on fire, with a deep ache pulsating from every part of her being. She felt as though she had been torn apart. As she struggled to open her eyes, all she could see was an overwhelming darkness. The soft surface underneath her only amplified the searing pain emanating from the wound on her shoulder. She was paralyzed and surrounded by stillness, unable to perceive anything except a constant throbbing. Leda's body reacted to her despair, as she curled up into a ball and held herself tight. She felt as though she was only a consciousness trapped in a silent, painful void, perhaps resembling what death would feel like. Suddenly, a bright light blinded her, bringing a stark contrast to the darkness. The light was as agonizing as the pain, causing Leda to produce a keening sound akin to a dying animal. Each breath was a s

His threat was clear. There were dozens of males within range of her scent who would fall on her at the firstest opportunity without reason or restraint. She could already hear the shouts and raised voices just on the other side of the wall. Others in the pavilion had already caught her scent They were moments from being discovered. And part of her wanted nothing more than to be filled so completely that it tore her apart, regardless of the consequences. Leda ground her body against his thigh, but the light friction wasn’t enough to slake the fire burning in her. She needed something that only an Alpha could provide. The aroma of their combined scents had saturated the air. And the smell of him made her feel crazed, it was like the most delicious meal, the sweetest perfume and the headiest intoxicant all rolled into one. His hot mouth pressed against the delicate skin of her throat, with just the slightest press of teeth as he spoke. “Decide.”

Leda worked as if her mind was outside of her body. She placed plates piled high with chicken heavy under cream sauce and freshly picked vegetables just lightly steamed. She recognized herself to be in a haze, with only enough awareness of her surroundings to perform the most basic of tasks. Luckily, that was all that was required of her. She retrieved the empty plate from in front of a man who did not even bother to look at her as he demanded his wine glass be refilled. She complied, face empty and placid, as the feedback from a microphone going live came from a nearby speaker. When Leda’s gaze moved to the podium at the front of the pavilion, the same Alpha woman she had met earlier was standing at the podium. “Thank you all for being here this evening. My name is Helen Hart and I am the chairwoman of the Aquila Children’s Hospital Foundation. As you all know, the proceeds from tonight’s event will support the expansion of the Center for Genetic Disease on

“I’m assigned to diner #075, but I was told to report here today.” Leda responded.“Oh! another one of you.” Her voice was diverted, but there was no malice in her expression.“This is a bit different from diner service, so I hope you learn quickly. The food preparation area is through there, ask for Kane and tell him that I said he should get you a attire.”The woman turned away and resumed yelling into her headset, dismissing her before Leda had the chance to ask anything else.Leda wove through a puzzle of tables, each laid out with a full service of flatware and fine china. This would be substantially different from serving in the diner as the meals there did not tend to come in multiple courses.A complicated art piece made from multiple glowing lights hung above the center of the arbor, seemingly suspended in midair. In reality, the fixture likely hung from a complicated set of wire and pulleys but the surreal

Painful animosity grew slowly inside of her like a rosebush made only of thorns. It wasn’t just the political types who looked down on Omegas, the rest of the population had similar ideas about what it meant to be part of the weakest dynamic: Naive, simple, and easily led.She fought her nature not just because of what it required, but because to be Omega meant having the respect of absolutely no one. Why did she have to sacrifice so much, only to gain so very little?Leda pushed open the door of the Diner and even that small movement seemed to sap her off all energy. Her arms felt like weights at her sides and she wondered how she could possibly make it through her shift.Selene was standing by the counter with a terminal in her hands, a very stressed look on her face. “What are you doing here?”Sliding an apron over her head, Leda frowned at the older woman. “Working, what else would I be doing?”“Did you not r
