I didn't dream the moment I walked in the room to sleep, I didn't dream even though I wanted to but I woke up with a heavy head, an empty stomach, and a fire between my legs. Tossing and rolling was what I did for the next entire hour I was awake as l recalled everything the ruthless Alpha ordered to be done on my body.
l was so weak to reject that nonsense.
Wake up.
I forced myself off the bed and walked over to the window. As I pulled the curtains aside, a beautiful view of the surroundings took my breath away. It wasn't bright as it was earlier. The sun was hidden behind the mountains far away from where the estate was but I could still catch a glimpse of it. The sky was in warm colors and just watching the silent beauty eased my blood urges and everything else that tensed me.
Everything that tensed in me , i meant the fire between my legs. Even though I was standing it was still there.
''What is wrong with me?'',
l questioned myself and my reasons for a moment why I was burning badly between my legs.
Then it hit me.
I have encountered this situation before. The burning ,The need. The craving. The desire to experience the intense pleasure over and over again. The want to release the orgasm until my body became sore and satisfied.
It was heat.
It was a time in our lives where we were forced to sit through an agonizing few days of intense need for pleasure or need. It was our body's way of telling us to find our mate, to take our mate , have sex with them. It was the one point in my life where I did not mind having my mate. It was only a temporary thing however. Once heat would pass, I would go back loathing the idea of a companion.
"Oh fucking great." I gritted my teeth as my canines began to lengthen without my control.
As an omega, I had been in heat since I struck puberty. My wolf was wild since it got to know that it had a mate and it was now the reason why I got my heat quickly in just one night in the Alpha's house.
Usually, females stayed away from having sex with other male wolves as it would lead to triggering their heat. I did for long until now, when I got to know that I had a mate.
I could only reminisce about the previous time I went through my heat. How I felt like a sex crazed monster. I was constantly vicious toward others when I did not have sex.
At the time of my previous heat, I had a boyfriend. Joseph . A basic young Omega boy who was unaware of my secret as well. He loved me during my periods of heat but without having sex with me.
Well at first it was love but when my heat came without stopping, everything changed between us.
After a while, he could not take it any longer. He told me frankly that I scared him and he didn’t even bother having sex with me. finally he tapped out and broke it off with me. Not before calling me a sex crazed demon woman. After that, I managed to keep my heat and need on a leash. With the help of my little toy that l hid under my mattress of course in my mother’s house .
l didn’t intentionally want to use it but one of my fellow Omega friends , helped and bought it for me.
However I was a little nervous now. Today, I was departing for the main pack house where I would be surrounded by different female and male wolves.
Currently while stuck in this house , i didn’t know what l was going to do about my heat. My face twisted up in distaste. I have never been around other wolves during heat except my mother.
I tore myself away from the window and returned under the sheets upon hearing the handle of the door being clicked. My eyes shut tight and I abstained from making a single sound.
"She's still sleeping." I heard someone speak. I didn’t recognize the voice.
"Well, she is supposed to be awake by now'', that was the stupid beta’s voice. Out of the blue a finger came down to my throat, unknowingly causing tingles to shoot through my body. "She's still alive."She confirmed after checking my pulse. It was probably yesterday’s doctor. "Maybe the medicine was strong'', she added.
"She has to wake up right now",
"Wake up", I opened my eyes when I heard the stupid beta say that but the moment my eyes fall on him, we had a staring contest. His eyes and face were stoic as he observed me, but because I was still weak I'm sure mine showed fear.
"You have healed, no one is going to bring you food in bed, go and pick it yourself", He snarled. I didn’t bother responding to him. As yesterday, the doctor gave showed me her pitiful smile before they walked out of the room.
After their departure, I stayed in bed for some good minutes then finally stood up and went in the bathroom. Shockingly everything I needed was prepared for me. Clothes, shoes.... they were all new.
After freshening up, I headed down straight to the kitchen to get myself some coffee but was cramped with stares from Chloe and Rose, my fellow omegas.
I used to work with them in this same kitchen not until when I disobeyed the beta.
Chloe was busy handling the dishes and it seemed like she had been awake since a few hours now. The clatters were quiet at first but as soon as I was done getting my coffee, they became loud.
"Do you want me to help you?" I offered after looking at her state. She could use some rest and I had all the time in the world to do some dishes and get the kitchen running. It wouldn't be the first time either. This is what we usually did together.
Chloe stopped by the counter and grunted, "No, Rinah." She spoke sharply, a lace of anger in her voice. "Everything is good over here. Why don't you sit with the Alpha and wait while we serve you?"
"You don't have to be rude....." , I started but she immediately cut me off in mid sentence.
"I'm tired. We work our asses off to complete our duties while you simply escaped all this by sleeping with someone," She spat out. "So yes, I get to be rude."
A frown tugged on my lips. "You don't know anything." I reminded her. This couldn't be on me. She was speaking lies. They all saw the way the Alpha punished me but here they were saying that I slept with him to be favoured.
They all didn't know that I was unfortunately his mate.
"You're right, I don't know anything but don't forget, you're still an omega at the end of the day and you belong right here, with all of us." The coldness in her voice ticked me off.
As soon as she was done, she returned back to handling the dishes while the other girls looked at me, giving me a stare.
The odd silence and the stares inside the kitchen forced me to walk out. I no longer belonged between them and they didn't know the hell I was passing through.
They thought, I was living happily.
Without any other word, I walked back to my room but just as I reached the bedroom door, I heard someone call me.
"Oh Rinah, right?",
"I'm Amara, I'm right next door."
I turned and looked at the person who just introduced herself. I recognized her when I stared at her. She is one of the werewolves who weare favored in this pack.
I knew her very well. She wasn’t an omega like me.
She was so beautiful with red hair that seemed to be kissed by the sun and also blessed with body and shine and an athletic figure and milky blemish free skin that seemed almost flawless. She seemed kind not like her fellow upper class werewolves.
"Wow." I uttered but with no smile on my face. I could see how she searched for a positive reaction out of my emotionless face. "It's beautiful." I added then opened my door but before I could enter, her voice still stopped me.
"I will come over to pick you and we go for training, right?", She asked.
"Okay", I said with a fake smile on my face then slammed the door in front of her face.
What is worse than someone knocking on your bedroom door in the middle of your peaceful sleep? Someone banging on your door interrupting your peaceful sleep."Rinah, wake up." Amara's voice at this moment was like cat claws gliding across a chalk board. I even regretted why I allowed her to pick me up for training. "No."My eyes still closed, I could hear my bedroom door creak open. A cool draft from the halls slipped in along with the red head. Turning away as quickly as I could, I pulled the blankets over my head and ignored her plea for me to get up."It's training time. Get your ass up." Cool air nipped at my skin when she ripped the covers from me."What the fuck, what time is it?" I screeched, covering my eyes from the bedroom light she had turned on."Its six in the morning, now come on." I sat up, my eyes trained on her as I thought of a million different ways I could rip her apart.But I could not be livid with her. If I would have overslept, I would have had another confron
With a snap of his finger, I watched as Jamie got into her fighting stance, ready to strike. My hands up in defense, I watched as a smile crossed Jamie's lips. I could see how she was going to enjoy this.She charged at me, swinging her right arm in attempts to hit me in the face. Just in time, I dodged it.Her hand snapped back before her right leg lifted, connecting with my exposed rib. Such a small leg sent a powerful blow to my side before her left fist sent a viscous blow to my face.OH's and ah's escaped the crowd as I hit the ground. I wiped my mouth, checking for blood as I looked up at her. She was hopping around, a smile painted on her face from her hit.Weirdly, I found it amusing more than annoying."Again." Alpha yelled to me, urging me to stand and continue. I also enjoyed the amusement in his tone of voice.Standing to my feet, I ignored the shooting pain that sparked from my side as I stood to fight again."I will go easy on you." Jamie winked at me."Don't." I snarled
Next, Bridget swung but was disappointed when I blocked her weak hit. The speed and power of my legs sent my foot against her stomach which sent her tumbling to the ground. Kera was left standing. Right leg. My inner wolf had forced me to notice the slight limp when she had first walked in to the circle. A damaging weakness that should have never been spotted by an opponent.They say never kick a man while he is already down? What about a bitch? My hands up and my fist clinching, I brought all her attention to my hands before I dropped down and spin kicked her legs right from under her.She hit the ground with a thump as her hands clutched her bruised leg. Finally, they scrambled back to their feet. Hatred. Humiliation. Loathe. I could see the anger burning in their colorless eyes. I could see that they were not ready to give up. Good. Neither was I. Still fighting with anger, Jamie charged at me, her arm ready to strike me.I anticipated the attack; however I did not expect the next
I sat in the office for pretty good hours until I lost it. This was probably one of the punishments the Alpha planned to give me because what the hell was this. I came in this office in the morning but now it was past mid day. I was hungry and bored to hell.To alleviate the boredom and silence, I finally decided to go through the papers on his desk. Yes I was warned but this boredom was so much. Besides the boredom, I was a snoopy woman and everyone should've known that by now.My eyes fall on the large map spread out on the desk and my interest in it increased.Without thinking, I reached out for it.It was a map of a city- not our city but another city nearby. I found it boring so I decided to look away and pick up the old, leatherbound book that seemed to be tearing apart from the inside.As I opened it, I realized, it was a journal- Blair's journal. I froze and then kept it aside, I couldn't read his journal or anyone's, that was a private. I wouldn't want someone to read mine i
The warm water ran down my body as I showered. I struggled with forgetting everything that happened during the day but it was damn impossible. For the case of the warriors that challenged me, I now wanted to rip their heads off so desperately and then the Alpha, I wanted to puke all the sperms I swallowed.I washed my body for a pretty good time while lost in my thoughts not until when the water became more hotter.I stepped out, dried myself and wore something comfortable. My whole world was whirling since the moment I was caught by the Iron Alpha Blair, I wasn't able to think about anything except for survival. I was grateful that Blair had let me live after what I did in the morning but a part of me broke when he told me that he didn't want me.Maybe I was expecting something else.Maybe I wanted him to desire me. But he didn't. He only wanted me as a breeder.Groaning, I rubbed the towel through my wet locks and dropped it aside. The packhouse was quite silent as if all the wolves
I ignored Amara who was knocking on my door and decided to sleep. My heat was setting in and I didn't want her to enter and know that I was in heat.I closed my eyes for a second but was unable to sleep so I turned around on the bed and faced the window.It was a full moon.A full moon.The moment I stared at it, my heart beat quickened and sweat collected around my forehead immediately. I took in large breaths and knew it that I was damn screwed up. It was here.The dreams.... every time I get my heat.All of the sudden a glint of light shinned into the open window. The large full moon lit up the normally dark room, blanketing the walls in the reflection of the light then everything changed.My mind drifted far away in the dream world. [ I looked around the small room, taking in the scenery as much as possible. I was lying in a full sized bed, naked yet fearless of my current situation. Beside me was a small bedside table with a small lamp, which seemed to be the only decoration in
Clearly bothered, I leaned against the bed's headboard and stared up at the ceiling.Times like this I began to wish I was a human. Heat? It would just be a thought rather than my actuality. The random sex cravings? A thing of the past. I would be that normal person living in the real world. A world without the thought of my kind.I sighed out. My skin cringed when my mind began to replay my dream. Such vivid images played in my head. Each scene ignited a fire inside of me, leaving me warm and anxious."No." I leaped to my feet. In desperate need to clear my head of such foolery, I decided to get out of this room. Get out of this house.I need to run. The Alpha refused me everything but he didn’t talk about running in the trees.I slipped on a graphic tee and a pair of pink shorts before I walked out of my room. The bare halls were quiet so the last thing I wanted was to disturb anyone.Creeping as if I was walking on egg shells, I took to the back door of the house and slid on to the
I stretched my arms to the morning daylight. As an omega, it was usual of me to be awake by four, sometimes even earlier but today, I woke up at eight, just a couple minutes before I could thrash around and leave for school.I did everything quickly but nicely and in a good mood not until when I made my way to the hallway. "The whore's going to school." When leaving, I bumped upon the stupid beta Steven who was getting inside his car. He was probably going to a pack meeting but still he decided to provoke me.I stopped on my steps, something I rarely ever did. Turning around, I replied to him, "The whore's going to many places. You might want to start looking out.""Wait for it..." He laughed off my insult and got inside the car before driving past me. The bumper of the car was an inch away from parting my spine into two.I jumped on the sidewalk and began my ten minute journey to the school. It was ending, the senior year. Graduation was just two months away.Mom had many plans for
Jackson's hands moved over his heart, and a roguish smile covered his lips. "Never call it such. Daisy Dame," he laughed. "I better go fix the jukebox before Floyd gets here and starts beating it again." "He does love his music," I muttered, turning my attention to the door as it opened.Royce and Bryce, regulars at the bar, entered, shaking the snow from their jackets as they removed them. Grabbing a pitcher, I tipped it to fill for them and took the $20 bill he placed on the bar, breaking it into change for them to play pool. Once they headed off, I started mixing the drinks we'd serve for the special.People began filing in as the clock ticked on, and the music got more bois- terous. I'd finished mixing the drinks for a group of women who were slumming it, their words, not mine. Jackson worked beside me, moving through the orders for the kitchen while I focused on the drinks.I was pouring another pitcher of beer when the doors opened, and a man entered. My senses screamed in warni
BraelynStepping out of the shower, I peered around the small cramped room. It was hardly big enough to turn around in, but it was clean. We'd rented a new apartment in a high traffic area, close to work, once we'd noticed the wolves around the one Douglas had chosen for us. It would have been more dangerous to be around wolves, especially considering Saint had left me in a precarious condition.I dressed in a pair of soft, stretchy jeans and pulled the camisole top over my sensitive breasts. Turning sideways in the cramped room, I looked at the gentle swell of my belly in the mirror. It was noticeable now and hard to hide that I was pregnant. Groaning. I grabbed the sweater and slipped my arms into it, shoving my hair into a messy bun before I left the room. The stale scent of takeout food made my nose itch, hating that it wasn't the fresh food we'd had on the mountain. I missed the mountain and the protection it would have offered me in my current condition. I hated waking up every
Zayne killed the feed as I moved to grab Chaos. I didn't even know what to say to him since I wasn't able to process what I'd seen. I'd accused Braclyn of helping Harold, and she'd been his primary victim. Why hadn't she said any- thing? Why hadn't she tried to reach me with the truth?"That's why she was so sad all the time," Chaos whispered, his eyes swim- ming with unshed tears. "She tried to hide it and pretend not to be sad, but I sensed it. I caught it once when she was trying to pretend she was happy." He sniffled, and I frowned at his words.I swallowed down the sick feeling as I tried to recall Braelyn ever acting like a victim. "How the fuck did we miss this?" I asked myself, but it was Chaos who answered."You had to watch her when she didn't think you were. Fear is an emotion. and so is pain. We control our emotions, and only we allow people to see them." He handed me a phone, and I stared at it. "I saw it because she seemed sad, but she's Braelyn. She is only sad when no
Nausea washed through me, knowing exactly how much pain was involved when skinned alive. The entire room watched as Harold tossed the knife aside and spoke to the camera, with no volume, as per his usual shit. It wasn't until someone else entered the room, his face obscured by a mask, that the camera was adjusted, and the volume came to life. I didn't relish the idea of hearing her screams or reliving the tortured memories they'd bring back to life."Nothing yet? She's a different breed, Harold," the masked male an- nounced, and even though he was wearing the mask, we all knew it was Lucas."There is that sadistic fuck, Lucas. I can't believe he was under our noses all this time, and had been the one to help Harold in his torture session. But why wear the mask?" Eryx gripped his fists and shook in rage.My eyes slid back to the woman, noting her head was covered, and I was willing to bet she was probably gagged beneath the sack. It helped Harold and Lucas to dehumanize their victims.
Saint-Three Months LaterI watched Cole Van Helsing climb out of the Blackhawk helicopter, shield- ing his eyes as he moved toward me, shaking the snow from his heavy coat. Tat- tooed fingers righted the collar of his jacket, and he smiled upon seeing me. "Van Helsing," 1 announced, running my eyes over the tattoo that covered his brow and his temple to vanish into his hairline. "Kingsley, pleasure as always," Cole said in a heavily accented tone that most women would fawn over. "You are causing quite the issue for us. I hope your mate is worth it," he concluded, nodding at the other helicopters that were coming in as Cole's took off to refuel."She is, and I believe she's pregnant with my child," I announced, watching his face pinch with distaste."Seems to be in the water lately," he grumbled. "Someone needs to invent some immortal-proof birth control.""You too, huh?" I asked."No, not me." he said in a tone filled with anger. "Rhys is going to be a daddy, but he's rejected his mat
"You should run until you reach the furthest exit. It should have anyone trailing Braelyn's scent on your tail while we head in the opposite direction. They aren't expecting her to go through the river, and the rafts will make it near impossible for Saint to catch her scent on the wind. Once you get to the end of the tunnel, Tyler, get on the bike and toss the nightgown over the cliffside. It should have them searching for her until nightfall, leaving us enough time to put some distance between them and us." Douglas dropped the nightgown into Tyler's hand, watching as he took one last long, heated glance at Tora, who smirked wickedly at his interest. "Go, you two can hook up much later once we're off this cursed mountain. The snow is coming, and once it does, we'll be easier to track."We watched Tyler vanish into one of the many caves. Douglas sprinkled the pepper over the entrance of others, including a light dusting at the one where Tyler had disappeared. Moving to where Tora and I
I'd dressed in a soft pair of jeans and flat, leather, thigh-high boots with multiple buckles covering the top of the leather, curving and hugging my calves. The jacket I'd chosen was army green, with soft fur lining that heated against my arms. Tugging the jacket up tighter, I zipped it while walking the perimeter of the courtyard with Phenrys, my unlucky babysitter for the day.He was silent and vigilant as we moved through the mostly empty yard. I paused, inhaling the crisp air that threatened snow as it stung against my nose and cheeks. "It's cold as shit out here," he grumbled, rubbing his hands together while studying the way I moved. "We're going back inside momentarily because I'm over the cold.""I need to light the candles inside my mother's crypt. They've been ne- glected, and I'd like to do so before we go back inside."Phenrys dropped his head, rolling it back to look at me before sliding his gaze to the crypt that sat a few yards away from the newly built ad-on. Nodding,
"Oh, this will be fun." I turned back to him, noticing how his eyes skimmed over my bare skin."Hey, they're at least excited to meet you from what he told me. But there are other Alpha's in the city and the meetings with them aren't going as smoothly without me. They're on edge, and some of them might be secretly against me. There's a lot going on.""Something is always happening in the world. They just all seem to be happening to us right now." I gave him the closest thing I could to a comforting smile, one that wasn't a mask. I needed to be real with him. "Luckily, we can handle your wolves with little interference.""Our wolves, you mean." He corrected and my brow pinched together. "We're mated now, officially. You bear my mark and I'm the Alpha. That makes you their Luna by wolf law."I rose from the bed, setting my feet on the cold floor and closing my eyes as I steadied myself. "Apollo, there's still a chance we won't make it out of here alive. The wolves, that's easy in my min
Saint climbed into bed, naked. He didn't move the pillows, choosing to slide beneath the covers. Before I could guess what Saint intended, he'd yanked on the blanket, lifting it, sending all the pillows shooting into the air, raining down around the bed. He pounced, capturing my wrists above my head, smiling down at me.“No more walls, woman. You and me, we have to figure out a balance so that we can live together. I know you're struggling because I can feel your turmoil through the link. I can feel your need to run, to escape me, and that isn't happening. I know you, Brae. I know you because you live within in me, inside my fucking soul.""If you really knew me, Saint, you'd know I would never be involved in anything that would hurt this pack." I whispered, struggling to get out from beneath him.He allowed me to wiggle from his grip as he settled in beside me. His attention moved over my face before he softly exhaled. "At night, when they'd put us back into our cells. I dreamed of y
