CHAPTER FOUR

ASAI.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

I was on fire, it felt like I was one giant burning furnace as I stormed into the main house. I could hear the voices of the rest of the family coming from the dining area, but I couldn’t face them, not right now. I had to find my suppressants, and fast. I took the stairs two at a time, keeping my steps as light as possible so I wouldn’t draw any attention to myself. Finally, I made my way to the Saki’s room, where I’d put my bag before we went down for dinner. In my rush I didn’t bother locking the door before crossing the room to where I’d flung my bag into a corner.

With trembling fingers, I tore it open and dumped the contents down to the floor. The container of my suppressants made a hollow thunking sound as it hit the tiled ground. My heart sunk to my feet.

It sounded empty.

NO.

No, No, No.

This couldn’t be happening, not right now. Sinking to my knees, I scrambled for the bottle, and shook it in denial, twisting open the cap and turning it upside down. It was empty, oh fuck, I must’ve forgotten to request for a new dose after the last time. Fuck, what was I going to do? My heat symptoms were steadily getting worse. I was already short of breath and sweating like a geyser, soon enough I’d start getting slick, and then the cramps would hit. I couldn’t let that happen. There would be no going back after that.

This was all Kao’s fault, him and his stupid alpha pheromones sending me into an early heat, and fucking up my plans before I even got a chance to start. I bit back a sob and staggered to my feet, fear and adrenaline had me rushing to Saki’s bathroom even as my vision swam and my stomach lurched.

Saki was an omega too. She had to have suppressants stacked somewhere in there, she had to be managing her heats somehow. I was trembling now from head to toe, but I tried to be quiet as possible as I rummaged through her drug cabinet, looking for that familiar white prescription bottle. Finally, finally, I found one. I almost sobbed out in relief as I dragged the bottle out and sank down to the floor to twist open the cap. But I was shaking too much, and the bottle slipped out of my grip, rolling all the way out the bathroom and disappearing somewhere in the bedroom. I whimpered pitifully, cursing my luck. I staggered to my feet, wincing at the sharp pain in my lower belly. Oh no, the cramps had already begun. I shuffled out of the bathroom and froze in my steps at the sight of the alpha in Saki’s bedroom. It was Kao, and he had the bottle of suppressants in his hand, head cocked as he read what was written on the back.

“Hmm,” he hummed casually, “I don’t think I’ve been so close to one of these before. How strange, have you?”

“Kao.” I hissed through gritted teeth, all pretenses gone now. “Please, I need those.”

The alpha cocked his head, one of his canines gleaming as he smirked. “What for? Last I checked, this was strictly for omegas. I learned that much in sex ed at least.”

Another cramp hit, worse than last time and I cried out in pain. If I didn’t get one of those pills in me very soon, I’d be stripping naked and begging the nearest alpha to stuff me full of his knot. Unfortunately that was not even an emotion for me at this point. Especially considering the nearest alpha was the condescending asshole who caused all these in the first place.

“Please. . .” I groaned, shutting my eyes against the pain.

Kao made a soft noise at the back of his throat, probably smelling my pheromones for the first time since he’d met me. Another cramp hit and I fell to my knees, biting down on my lip so I wouldn’t cry out. Kao stepped closer until his shoes were in my line of sight. He crouched, lifting my chin with a finger so we were eye to eye.

“I knew there was something about you,” he muttered, his gravelly voice soothing something inside of me that craved his touch. “Dominant alpha my ass. You’re an omega. I should have you dragged down there and exposed for the liar you are.”

“Please. . .” I whined, it was a pathetic sound, I was disgusted with myself. “Alpha please no. . . I’ll do anything.”

“Brave words,” he growled, his green eyes dark with lust. My pheromones were probably already affecting him. “You have no idea what I want to do to you. How badly I want to punish you for daring to toy with my sister’s feelings like this.”

“Alpha please. . .” I moaned low as another cramp hit, my thighs were wet with slick, and I could my body loosening itself in preparation for a mating. I was too far gone to even make coherent thoughts, the only thing in my head was the pain, and the alpha in front of me who could provide that sweet relief I needed. Almost like he could read my mind, Kao’s fingers trailed from my chin to where my scent gland sat red and swollen, begging for touch. He trailed his fingertips over the skin there and I moaned, my body going lax with pleasure as I collapsed against him for the second time tonight. He did it again, and had to bury my face in his shoulder to muffle the noise I made.

“Fuck.” Kao cursed, his voice rough with lust. I could feel his pheromones washing over me, and I squirmed as the spot between my legs begged for attention. Without thinking, I took his other hand and dragged it to my waistband. Kao laughed, the sound was cruel and mocking, but I didn’t care, I just needed him to touch me. I was mad with lust. “You want me to touch your pretty little cock?” He sneered as he undid my belt, :”Or do you want me to fuck your needy little cunt. What would your fiancee think, if she saw you like this? Her alpha mate, begging for her brother’s cock?”

I moaned shamelessly, arching into his touch as his hand bullied past the waistband of my boxers. I couldn’t even make words, just senseless babbles. Finally his hand wrapped around my length, large enough that his thumb could rub against where I was slick and throbbing for him.

“Please. . .” I moaned, vision hazy, “More. . . alpha.”

Kao laughed again, and he pulled his hand out of my pants, leaving me cold and unfulfilled. I whined in pitiful need, about to grovel and beg, but he buried his hand in my hair, yanked me back hard enough to bruise and crushed his mouth to mine. I moaned, tasting his tongue, it tasted bitter and familiar.

He was pushing something down my throat.

That was the last coherent thought I had before everything went dark.
