Two

Kira

My life was screwed. 

Not just the usual kind where I'd be consoled seeing other omegas like me going through the same ordeal. Instead, I was completely alone, with no one to share my fears with.

Alpha D'Angelo, of all people, was my mate? 

I'd be damned. I didn't see that coming. 

While the Alpha seemed as shocked as I was, sniffed our bond and took a step back like he'd just seen a ghost, all I could think of were the most horrifying ways I would die.

Perhaps he would throw me over a cliff, or ram my head repeatedly against the glass walls, or worse still, throw me into a dungeon filled with hungry lions.

Despite my life hanging by a thin thread, something strange was happening to my wolf. She was excited and demanded a taste of the forbidden flesh.

My knees weakened like jelly when the scent hit me again. The alpha's gaze roamed my face, then down to my neck and body, searching every inch with his eyes and leaving a trail of raised hairs on my skin.

"Why are you naked on my terrace?”

Bloody Fockin’ Hell!

I forgot that Zion had ruined my dress. I was wearing my ugly cotton panties. Mortified, I covered my boobs with the remnants of my dress. 

The alpha stripped off a white shirt and wrapped it around me. His scent and cologne were imprinted on it, and his fingers grazed my skin as he buttoned up the shirt, making my wolf more primal. I attempted to rise again, but my legs betrayed me. 

Like someone in a trance, the alpha's index finger twirled a strand of my dirty blonde hair. He leaned closer, his face inches from mine. I was lost in the depths of his eyeballs. The deep green and rich amber blended beautifully, with hints of gold that seemed to dance in the light.

His well-defined abs also caught my attention. I felt an overwhelming urge to touch the hard planes of his chest, the curve of his hip, and even kiss him. 

But how dare I? 

"Is your tongue missing? Who was that loser that ran off? You two had the guts to fuck on my terrace?”

My cheeks burned with embarrassment and I was at a loss for words. Perhaps this was the time to say my final prayers. 

As if he could read my thoughts, he froze in place and his eyes bulged like saucers. He stared at me with disgust and horror. 

"Omega?!”

"O...omega," I stuttered. 

Like a dog on a leash, I was strongly aware of this wicked bond. It was more intense than anything I had ever experienced in my life. 

The alpha jerked up straight, raking his fingers through his dark hair. Several emotions played across his face—conflict at first—then his gaze roamed over my body with a lustful heat that surpassed even Zion's shameless stares.

Without warning, his mood darkened with such force that I thought he'd fish out a gun and blow my head off. Instead, his face twisted in a snarl, and he let out a storm of cruel curses. Each word cut through my soul until all I wanted was to crawl into the ground and die.

I stumbled backward and almost toppled over the terrace's edge. What bloody drink did Zion give me? My trembling legs made it nearly impossible for me to steady myself. I had to escape, and I had to do it now.

"Sorry... Sorry... I'll go, I swear. I'll never, ever, ever come back here. I swear on my mom's life!”

His gaze and prolonged silence made me increasingly afraid. I'd never felt such raw panic before.My back collided with the glass wall behind me, and I tried to merge with the wall itself. 

"Did you get an invitation to this party?"

There was bitterness oozing from the edges of his steely tone. I burst into tears. 

"I... No... Please don't kill me. My mom-”

"Does your mom know you planned to fuck your ugly boyfriend on my terrace? I bet she doesn't."

His hand closed around my shoulder, and my instincts screamed at me to escape, so I wrenched free and rushed towards the terrace's edge, driven by the urge to survive.

"Stop moving backward. You're going to fall," the alpha said, this time in a non-threatening gesture, and gripped my hand.

Despite the coolness of the night breeze, a glaze of sweat broke out of my skin when his finger brushed across mine. My heartbeat increased so fast that I thought it would jump out of my throat. 

“P-please Alpha. I beg you to forgive me,” I whimpered, going on my knees. “Please! My mom is sick. My friends and I snuck in to get some medication for her.”

The alpha looked genuinely confused, and his eyes darted back and forth as if fighting with an internal force. Then he scoffed.

"You dare to spin such pathetic lies? Does my terrace resemble a clinic? I caught you naked with your lover.”

This was trouble. He would either have to break the bond or resort to something far worse.

"You must be punished for daring to break the rules. Until you bring me the rest of your gang, you'll be thrown into my dungeon and share a bed with rodents."

I gazed at him in disbelief. Was my punishment simply to spend the night with rats? Nothing more?

When he leaned in, I thought he was going to kiss me. Instead, his brows knitted together in a sharp triangle. He sniffed my breath and clicked his teeth.

"You're the most outrageous trespasser to ever invade my privacy! You not only helped yourself to my champagne, but you also had the nerve to trespass on my terrace. Your audacity is staggering.”

My tears were flowing freely, and I couldn't control them anymore. "I didn't mean to... I didn't do this on purpose. Please, my mom needs me.”

“Enough with the lies. You can't fool me.”

He stopped talking and an unsettled look danced in his eyes. Silent tears flowed down my face. Footsteps approached us, making the alpha swiftly pull away. 

His eyes darted towards the approaching figure. A tall man, almost as tall as the alpha but chubbier, emerged. He wore his long hair in a ponytail, and from his striking green eyes and looks, I figured he was Alpha D'Angelo's beta.

He scanned me from head to toe, making me feel like a naked piece of meat. 

"What's a smelly omega doing here?"

The alpha's eyes faltered. I saw the faint glimmer of fear in his eyes as if he were hesitant to reveal the truth about who I was. He quickly stuttered, "Uh, nothing..." 

His beta's eyes narrowed further. "Why did you leave your party to come up here? Why is she wearing your shirt? What's going on?" 

"Enough with the questions, Leo. I caught her trying to steal from me. Send a guard to take her to the dungeon and keep him stationed outside her cell. Anyone who harms her will die a miserable death.”

The alpha's command made fear slice through my chest. His beta did as told. A guard saluted, and my eyes plea

ded with the alphas to have mercy on me. Without another word, he turned on his heel and walked away.
