I stepped out of the car. The night air hit my face, cool and sharp. People were lined up to get in, but I barely noticed them. I walked straight to the entrance ignoring the queue. The bouncers saw me and just stepped aside. No words, they wouldn't dare stop me.I walked past like I owned the place—easy.

Inside, the music was loud, bass thumping through the floor. I spotted Drew at the bar with some omega grinding their bodies on him not knowing he has a fated mate, leaning back like he was waiting for me. “Finally showing up,” he said, pulling himself from them, smirking. “Still sober? That omega of yours must’ve really left you shook.”

I just shrugged. “Some things don’t change,” I said, already looking around. The VIP section was quieter, omegas moving around looking for alphas, serving drinks, keeping the alphas happy. Some were already down to fucking I could hear pleasure moans .I found a corner, just standing, keeping my face straight. Didn’t want anyone reading me tonight.

Drew came back with a drink. “Here,” he said. “And if you want someone to… you know… have fun with, I’ve got someone for you.”

I raised an eyebrow. “Yeah?”

He led me to a redhead omega. The guy gave me a small bow, then looked up at me, kind of curious. I took the drink Drew handed me, taking a slow sip, feeling the room around me fade a little.

The redhead stepped a bit closer, still careful, and held my gaze. I didn’t smile. I didn't need to. But I noticed him. He looked… alright. Not someone to think too much about, just someone to pass the time with if I wanted.

“Get to work," I said, staring at his lips. He smiled and leaned over caressing my body. Not bad, my mind said feeling the warmth of his body on mine.

sprawled on my bed, telling myself over and over, I’m not going. I’m not going. Just stay here. It’s fine. My hands gripped the pillow, trying to push the thought away. It's been like this since Eryx left .But… damn it, my body didn’t care about my plans. Heat, sharp and insistent, hit me out of nowhere.

Ugh… why now? Seriously? Why tonight of all nights? I whispered to myself, my cheeks burning. Being an omega without an alpha is annoying, going through a rut alone .And then, stupidly, my hand was on my phone. “Yeah… I’ll come,” I murmured, I needed something to distract me tonight ,like my words weren’t even mine.

I climbed out the window, shivering from the cool night air. Okay… just go. Don’t think. Just go. Walk. Calm down… Every step made my heart race, not just from excitement, but from nerves, fear of waking Mom or being raped,The streets felt alive, like the night itself knew what was coming.

I was already hearing the sound from the club .When I reached the party, it hit me. Music pounding, lights flashing, people shouting, laughing… Where the hell are my friends? I pushed through the crowd, my throat tight. Finally, I spotted them. Mark was with two omegas already caressing him, And Noah alone drinking to himself he literally can win any omega here but choose not to,Relief. Thank God.

I started talking with my bestie, trying to sound casual. But I could feel them—some of the alphas—staring at me but my patch wasn't leaking.

Noah saw me standing and signalled me to come, offering me drinks which I took. Mark was too focused on his omegas he didn't recognize me.

We got drinks from some friends, the kind of stuff that makes you light-headed, but my mind was elsewhere. It was getting fun until Noah stepped away to pee, and suddenly two alphas came right up to me. Smiling with cigarettes I scoffed at them not really my type i said

Nope. Not today. Back off. I shook my head, trying to keep my voice steady. “I… I’m fine. No, thanks.”

I could see the disappointment on their face

What taking Noah so long, I needed to pee then I froze. My patch was leaking and I didn't come with a spare . I need to get the fuck out of here i could see some alphas staring at me as I walked pass them to the restroom

Walking fast I was bumping into people, cause the crowd was big they were yelling but I didn't care my heart was racing so fast .

I barely noticed the crowd until I brushed past someone with broad shoulders. I turned to say sorry but the look he gave me stirred my wolf. His eyes were turning something in me .

‘Sorry “

He looked at me with those eyes they was something about them “It fine”

No. No no no. My wolf stirred violently, my patch, I found my way to the toilet

Stay calm… breathe… don’t… don’t lose it…

I gripped the toilet sinks shutting the door behind me, staring at my reflection, slim body, cute face , irresistible, trying to slow my racing heartbeat. But my body wasn’t listening.I was getting turned on I needed to to be fucked badly my organs were acting up I release pheromones any alpha nearby would would not control him self, I can't go out now I feared for being raped .

Then I heard banging on the door……
