LOGINValerie's POV
I ignored every threat and warning Alpha Ronald was giving to me as I followed the stranger to the dance floor. "Who are you?" I asked, the moment he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me close. I could already feel the sparks of the mate bond the moment I touched him, but now, I felt like I was going to explode from it. "My name is Niklaus Blackthorn, CEO of Blackthorn automobiles, and the Alpha of the Crescent wolves." Alpha? My heart thudded loudly. Why was I mated to two Alphas? "I am an omega." I knew that he would already figure it out from my scent, but I wanted to tell him myself. Most Alphas would want nothing to do with omegas, and they might even feel insulted to be mated to one, just like Alpha Ronald. From the corners of my eyes, I noticed that almost everyone was staring at us. I knew that it was mostly because of Alpha Niklaus and his compelling presence. "And what is an omega doing here?" He spun me around, and I ended up with my back against his chest, his hand still around my waist as we swayed to the music. Goddess! His scent was intoxicating, and I was beginning to feel light headed. "I scented you." I spun my way around to face him again. I was staring at him, hoping that he would acknowledge the fact that we were mates, my heart thudding loudly at the fear of his rejection. We spun again, but instead of me to end up in his arms, someone else dragged me, and I found myself dancing with Alpha Ronald. 'You disobeyed me.' 'He asked me to dance with him.' He frowned. 'And I ordered you not to. Look at the way his hands were all over you. Next thing you know, he would be fucking you.' I did my best to hide my disgust. I always knew that he was sick in the head. He spun me around, his hands gripping my waist tightly, almost bruising me. I jerked forward in fright when I felt his erection poking my ass. 'I will teach you a lesson.' Another spin, and I found myself back at Alpha Niklaus' arms. "You don't seem alright. Is there a problem?" "Take me out of here, please." I begged him, my hands now around his neck, clinging onto him desperately. "Is he hurting you?" He asked me in a whisper. No one had ever asked me that before, and I had not dared to say it out. I knew no one would save me. The Alpha was the most powerful man in this pack, and no one would go against him. But this man... I noticed that even Alpha Ronald seemed to respect him. He could save me. So I nodded at him. "Once I goes back into the room, I will be locked up." The music ended at that moment, and just like the other men, Alpha Niklaus bowed to me, making me blush. He took my hand and was leading me out of the ballroom when Alpha Ronald blocked our path. He smiled at Alpha Niklaus, but it was obvious that it was forced. "You seem to be attached to the Omega." "She is a rather interesting one if you ask me. She is quite the charmer." "I believe she is. But I want a moment with her. Now." Alpha Niklaus smiled. "Oh, but I am still having my moment with her." "Only a moment." He pleaded, but I knew that he was fuming inside. Alpha Niklaus turned to me. "It depends on her. Do you want to go with him, Love?" 'You better bring your ass here and stop fooling around with him, before he fucks you.' Alpha Ronald yelled in my head, and I flinched at the intensity of his voice. "Alpha..." I called out, my voice shaking. "I want to go with Alpha Niklaus." "YOU HAVE NO FUCKING RIGHT..." He began to yell in his rage, but when he noticed that he was drawing attention, he calmed down. "You have no fucking right to decide anything or go anywhere when I say otherwise. Now leave him and go to your room." Out of the fear I was already accustomed to, I left Alpha Niklaus' hand and made to leave, but the Alpha took my hand again and pulled me to himself. "Do you fancy this Omega, Alpha?" Alpha Niklaus asked. "Hell no! She is just an Omega." "Then why are you so adamant?" Alpha Ronald clenched his jaw. "She has work to do." "Why does she have a room in the pack house? You just asked her to go to her room." "You are undermining my authority in my own pack, Alpha Ronald. You are going against the protocol that bind us all." Alpha Ronald said, loud enough for everyone to yell. The other Alphas, Lunas, Betas and everyone present turned to us, and Alpha Niklaus had no choice but to leave me, and I felt the cold of his absence immediately. Alpha Ronald took my hand and dragged me out of the ballroom. I thought he was going to order the guards to escort me and lock me up, but instead, he dragged me to his room himself. My heart was heavy and squeezing in pain. This was an opportunity I had not had in three years, and it just slipped out of my fingers. Just like that. Now we were alone in the room, the door locked and no where for me to escape to. My other mate wasn't even looking for me. I was an Omega, why would he bother? Alpha Ronald walked over, closing the distance between us. He grabbed the back of my head in a tight grip and crushed his lips against mine. He was kissing me so roughly, bruisingly, I couldn't breath, but he wouldn't stop. I began to hit him. "Please, Alpha please." "It seems you have forgotten who owns you." I whimpered, trying to get out of his hold, but he was too strong for me. "I can't breathe. Please Alpha." Now the tears was streaming down my face. I felt so helpless. Why was I given such a mate? Mates were meant to love and protect each other, but mine kept shredding my soul. He grabbed one of my breasts, roughly squeezing it. "Stop it please." I cried weakly, no longer having the strength to fight him. He suddenly stopped and pulled away, and I guessed that he had gotten a mindlink. "I will be back to finish with you." He then dragged me to the bathroom, pushed me inside it and locked the door. I was alone again, hopeless and helpless. I rested my back on the door, before slumping down and burying my face in my hands. Then I cried.Killian's POV I took Adeline to the bathroom to get her cleaned up, all the while ignoring the raging boner tenting up in my pants. Adeline seemed to notice. Because when we came out of the bathroom, she pointed at it. "Does that not hurt?" Of course she was still blushing, like she was not on the bed trembling and asking for more just a few minutes ago. "Don't worry about it." I pulled her close and placed a kiss on her forehead. She practically melted. "I have nothing to wear tonight." She said. "My clothes are not comfortable enough, and I can't repeat them even if they were." She only had a towel around her chest. "Don't worry, there are some few nightgowns in the dresser that will fit you just right." Her eyes widened. "I thought you said you just got this house and you didn't have time to stock it up." "Exactly," I said, "that is why I only have a few. There are about three nightgowns, but I will get more tomorrow." "Did you plan to make me stay tonight?" Sh
Adeline's POV I took my top off, and my jeans followed after. Killian's breath hitched, but his expression didn't falter. "Good girl." The praise made my skin tingle. "But you are still wearing these." He approached me, brushing his fingers along the edges of my bra. Then my panties. "I need everything off." I shut my eyes, mentally preparing myself—my heart was pounding, my breath was coming in shallow pants. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. He stood behind me, hands trailing my hips upward, his touches light as feather. "Breathe, baby." I did, but then I gasped as his hand worked their way to my inner thighs. "Relax. Trust me. You're in safe hands." I nodded. "I want to unclip your bra now. How do you feel about it?" His voice was quiet, the kind that somehow sank straight into my bones. And I found it so incredibly sexy that he asked me that. I swallowed hard. "I'm okay with it." "Look at me when you say that." I turned, meeting his gaze over my should
Adeline's POV Killian waited for me until I was done with my food, before we went to his room. My heart was racing like crazy as I wondered what was going to transpire between us. What he would do to me, how far he would go. I was nervous, but I still wanted it all. He closed the door behind us with a soft click that somehow sounded louder than it should have. I could hear my own breathing. It was loud and uneven, and I was certain he could hear it too. He didn't touch me immediately. Instead, he leaned against the edge of the table near the window, watching me in silence. I swallowed, current zapping through me as I watched him undo the first three buttons of his shirt. Then he rolled up his sleeves. "Come here," he said, voice low, smooth, and commanding. I swallowed hard and took a slow step toward him. Every movement felt deliberate, as if my body was hyperaware of the space between us shrinking. When I stopped just a few inches away, he reached up, brushing a loose strand o
Killian's POV Adeline was fascinating. One minute, she was blushing and too shy to look me in the eyes. The next, she would be demanding things from me like she actually owned me. Now, she was jumping away from me like I was after her life. "Who's calling?" I asked as she took out her phone to check. She shrugged. "I don't know. It's an unfamiliar number. Do you think I should take it?" I frowned. "That's your choice." She picked up the call, but she frowned the moment she heard the voice. I also could not help but eavesdrop. At least, to make sure nothing was wrong and she wasn't in any kind of trouble. "Addie, please I need to talk to you." I heard a guy's voice from the other side of the phone. Her frown seemed to tighten the longer she stayed on the phone. "Addie, I'm in trouble. For real this time. Adeline, please, I know you are still mad at me, but you will not let me be charged..." I took the phone from her before I could stop myself. I already knew who it was. "If yo
Adeline's POV The weekend could not come fast enough, but finally it was here. I had called Killian early this morning just to make sure he didn't change his mind. He was already on his way. I asked him where we would meet, and he said that I shouldn't worry about it. He apparently knew my dorm, and he was coming to pick me up. Should that had scared me a little? Maybe. But was I scared? Absolutely not. Some time in between him saving me from that night club and finding out we were mates, I had given him complete trust, and just hoped that he would not take it for granted... because that was a very smart decision to make. I stood in front of the large mirror in my room. I had worn a white crop top with golden chains attached to the ends. Then I put on a big pair of jeans. My hair was packed into a ponytail, big hoop earrings on my ears and matching bracelets around my wrists. I applied makeup— nothing much, just enough to enhance my features. I was satisfied with my look now, aft
Adeline's POV "Tell me what you just said." Cindy demanded, hands on her waist dramatically. Unfortunately, I was back in school. And for the first time in a long while, I didn't feel like coming back. I kind of enjoyed my stay back home. Maybe because I shifted and got to bond with my family more. Or maybe because Killian's pack was just less than two hours drive from mine. It was night now, and my three friends were showing any sign of leaving any time soon. "I went to visit the man from the club at his house." I confessed. While Zara and Cindy thought it was a bad idea, Lisa was over the moon. "I knew that there was something electric between you two the moment I set my eyes on him." "Lisa, that's crazy." Zara frowned. "She don't know this man, don't encourage her." "Exactly. She just dumped one asshole as she rightly should." Cindy said. "We need to make sure that the next is not an asshole." "He's not." I interjected quickly. "He's a great guy, y'all will see." I badly wa
