What Can You Offer?

Kira couldn't keep her eyes from wandering around, because no matter how monstrous she thought the mad pact was, it was still without a doubt the fanciest place she had ever been. the school itself was built in the fashion of a Victorian Castle. the walls were painted bright gold, and twinkling chandeliers hung in every hallway they passed. if she hadn't nearly been raped earlier she would think that this place indeed was a prestigious school for the rich and famous. it seems that the students were living a very luxurious life here. so how could this possibly be a punishment for some? Kira who had spent her entire life struggling to survive couldn't understand this concept. she had heard that only alphas who had committed unforgivable crimes were sent here. she also assumed that all the alphas here were from Royal or wealthy families.

the dorm rooms were even larger and fancier than a hotel room. there was a living room, two bedrooms, and a large sized bathroom. Kira had never seen anything like it, not when she had spent the earlier years of her life sleeping in a car and then later moving to a store room. so she couldn't help but admire the interior of the room.

" you will stay here until your roommate arrives. after that, we would have nothing to do with each other anymore "

" you know my roommate? is he.. good?" what Kira meant to ask was whether her roommate was anything like the other alphas who had tried to rape her. it was already difficult that she couldn't get out of this place, but having to deal with the fear of being attacked at any moment made her heart uneasy. despite the mad Pact being a containment environment for violent alphas, it was still a school after all. Kira would have at least expected that there will be some level of decency here. there were hundreds of alphas here and only one Luna. was there any chance for her to cope with these circumstances?

" Winter Darwin " Shane couldn't make out the man's character. winter was a friend of Sebastian, it was the only way they were acquainted. but Sebastian had mentioned earlier that day that winter had murdered his roommate. of course one student killing another was nothing new here, Shane had had his fair share of bloodlust. he took a seat on his sofa and crossed his legs, eyeing the woman in front of him apprehensively. she shifted in obvious discomfort as the way his eyes lingered on her Exposed skin. " you don't look so bad "

" What?" Kira was startled by the sudden change of topic.

" I may decide to help you. but then again what would I get in return?" Shane hadn't thought of this earlier. although he wasn't as sex-crazed as his brother was, he was still a man after all and he had urges once in a while. it was just that he hadn't taken the time to examine Kira properly. now that he was looking at her he saw that she was incredibly attractive. Her long black hair although messy and disheveled looked incredibly sexy. she had a pretty face and a light complexion, her body also looked good. he couldn't remember the last time he had encountered such a beautiful woman before. " what are you willing to offer me?"

Kira pulled the jacket closer to her body protectively when she realized what the Alpha was saying. Kira should have known better that he wouldn't just help her for nothing. she should have expected him to ask her for something sooner or later. he was an alpha after all and similar to the rest of them, he probably hadn't come across a woman for a very long time. all her life she had never thought she would ever be in a situation like this. a situation where she had to trade her body in exchange for protection. she had never thought of engaging in sex unless she found her destined mate, the one who would love and protect her for all eternity. she took a step back and had the intention of refusing whatever Shane was asking for. but then the terrible scene of what had happened earlier flashed in her mind. the fingerprints and bruises on her body were yet to disappear. those were evidence of the fate that awaited her outside Shane's door if she were to ever reject his offer

she looked at the alpha in front of her, noting to herself how incredibly handsome he was. she did not doubt that even Lucille will be taken aback by his good looks. Kira was in no way open to having sexual encounters with strangers, but even she couldn't deny the attraction she felt for this man. if she had met him earlier maybe, she wouldn't have hesitated to get to know him better. the thought of getting intimate with him didn't revoke her. Especially not when her life might depend on it" what do you want? "

Shane lays his chin on his palm and gives her a tilted look. the expression that told Kira she knew exactly what he was asking for. she did, but still, she didn't know how to approach the matter. " you will protect me?"

" I will do my best " this was in no way the Assurance Kira needed. but she couldn't bring herself to object as she watched the Alpha rise and approach her. each step he took exuded confidence and dominance, and she felt mesmerized. he stood in front of her, red eyes running across her features in intrigue. he brought a hand and placed it on her neck, his fingers tracing the expanse of exposed skin. " but first, you will have to prove to me you are worth protecting "

Kira's breath catches in her throat as he leans down to kiss her. his lips are incredibly soft and commanding as they move against hers. she can feel herself melting into the sensation. she had never imagined her first kiss would go like this. she never thought that the simple act of moving lips against lips would make one feel so addicted.

Shane Walker was a possessive kisser. he kissed Kira as if she belonged to him like they hadn't just met each other an hour ago. all the frustration and pent-up lust he had been having all those years seem to come loose. she isn't surprised when he pushes the jacket off her body, nor when he leans back and eyes her with a deep hunger. " Not bad looking at all," he says with a smirk. Kira opens her mouth to reply but Shane simply Silences is her with more aggressive kissing.

red eyes darkened, gleaming with possessiveness and desire. she was like a prey trapped in his predatory gaze. whatever happened next, it happened so fast that she didn't have the time to comprehend it. He didn't even give her time to try escaping from him, not that she would have anyways. not wasting a single second, Shane spread her legs with one foot and grasps her thighs with both hands. bringing her up so eye level, he let her straddle him against the wall. his breath grazing lightly against the crook of her neck as he inhaled her scent hungrily.

" Time to prove your worth, little Luna". Kira felt Shane's tongue lap at her neck slowly and greedily, it sent a shiver down her spine, and she drew in a shaky moan. Kira felt like her body was betraying her. she could feel the warmth radiating from her core
