Claimed in front of the Luna

This has got to be some sort of joke! What is the alpha talking about?!

He reached for my hands and slowly pulled me to my feet. The warmth from his hand sent a rush of adrenaline through me. 

"Your majesty. I think you're mistaken. If... if you need a lady for the night, we have tons of ladies for you to choose from." The boss uttered. 

The Alpha shot him one look of disgust before his gaze fell back on me. 

I tried not to squeal out loud. He moved closer towards me until the only air I could take in was the one clouded with his perfume. 

I felt his hot breath in my neck as he let out a sound that I couldn't decipher. 

Could he sense that I was wolf-less?!

Then, placing his nose on my neck as if to take a whiff, he said: "You have the scent. You will be the one to bear children for the Alpha." In one instance, he let go of me, then turned to face the boss. 

"How much for this one?" He asked. 

"What?!" The boss asked in disbelief. 

"Your....your majesty..." The boss stuttered heavily, "She....she will not be able to satisfy you as much as these ones." He let out, gesturing to the omegas that stood behind him. And as if on cue, they began to plop their breasts in front of the Alpha as though they were displaying their wares. 

"How much for her?" Alpha Henry insisted, his gaze lingering now on me. 

There was a long silence from the boss, as though he were contemplating his options. "She has no worth.....no value. I'll give her to you for free."

I felt my heart drop to my stomach. That was what everyone in here saw me as. A worthless wolfless omega. 

Dimitri's eyes never left me as Alpha Henry took hold of my hand again and led me out of the room. I heard him mutter something under his breath, but I was much too concerned now to care about him or any of them. 

As soon as we were out, he traced a finger underneath my jaw. "I knew it wouldn't be that hard for me to find you." He said with a sinister smirk. 

I swallowed hard. "What?"

He ran his eyes over me, taking in my appearance. My hair was a mess and my clothes were filled with stains from all the cleaning I had to do earlier. 

"Close your eyes." He ordered firmly. I noticed a slight shift in his tone. It was no longer soft as when he had first addressed me. 

My mind reeled as Alpha Henry's words hung in the air.. I couldn't process my thoughts properly. 

My heart just kept pounding vigorously in my chest. 

The Alpha was married; everyone knew that. How could he claim me as his mate? And most importantly, what did he mean by I was going to bear the Alpha's children?  

I didn't have my wolf, so I hadn't gotten my mate yet, and couldn't tell if the Alpha was my mate or not. 

But....but just what if he was?

'What was I even saying?' The alpha is married to his Luna.’

Before I could gather my thoughts, a sweet, pungent smell wafted through the air, and my vision began to blur. I tried to speak, but my words slurred, and my body felt heavy. 

Everything around me began to spin, and I stumbled, my knees buckling beneath me.

"What....what is happening to me?!" I managed to utter 

The last thing I remembered was Alpha Henry's face, his emerald eyes locked on mine, before everything went dark.

When I finally regained consciousness, I was met with the stench of mold and decay. 

My head pounded, and my mouth felt dry. I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me to lie back down. As my vision cleared, I realized I was in a dungeon. 

Panic set in as I scrambled to my feet, my heart racing. How did I get here? What did Alpha Henry plan to do with me? I paced back and forth, trying to piece together the events that led me to this forsaken place.

The silence was oppressive, punctuated only by the sound of dripping water somewhere in the distance. I called out, but my voice was swallowed by the darkness. I was alone, and I had no idea what lay ahead.

A faint noise echoed through the corridor. I could hear footsteps approaching. I backed away, my heart pounding louder in my chest. 

The door creaked open, and a figure loomed in the entrance. I strained to see their features, but the dim light hid their faces. "Who's there?" I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady.

The figure didn't respond, instead stepping forward to reveal a guard with a stern expression. He tossed a tray of food onto the floor, his eyes never meeting mine. "Eat," he growled, before turning to leave.

I made an attempt to run after him, but he had already shut the door against me. All efforts to try to get the door to budge was futile. 

"Let me out of here!" I shrieked as I banged both fists against the door. 

The door opened again. Hope swirled in my chest. But the moment the door was ajar, I felt a large hand against my chest and before I could process anything else, my buttocks had met with the hard floor. 

Alpha Henry....

I realized, wasn't the one who had shoved me to the ground but one of the guards who stood in front of him. 

The guards stood apart, making a way for him to pass. 

"Please your majesty, do not kill me," I begged him and immediately got on my knees clasping my hands together. 

"I don't intend to." His voice was calm and it sent a tingling sensation down to my stomach. 

He crouched until he was at my level and ran his fingers across my skin. 

"You are rather beautiful. I will very much enjoy doing this." He said with a smirk. 

'Doing what...Doing what?!!!' I screamed internally but I couldn't bring myself to speak. 

"....and your skin. How delicate it is." He went on to say. 

"Ple.... please.... please..." I stuttered heavily trying to get my words out, but it was stuck in my throat. 

My body was visibly trembling from the warm feeling beneath his fingers. 

He traced his fingers across the worried lines on my face before resting them on my lips.

His gaze fell into my breast and I froze instantly. 

It couldn't be what I was thinking, could it? 

He inched closer towards me, clouding my senses again with his scent. 

That scent.... 

Why was it so intoxicating?! The tingling sensation traveled all the way to my brain, blocking every iota of reasoning. 

I felt a burning between my legs as his fingers travelled down onto my shoulder. 

I wasn't getting fucking horny from his mere touch! I've been kidnapped and here I was getting turned on by my captor. 

'Focus, Elara, focus!' I screamed inside my head. 

The door opened again, and this time, Alpha Henry's Luna, Chrysantha, stood at the door, radiating in her full glory. 

I wanted to jerk away from the Alpha the moment I saw her but he held me in place. 

"Your genes are perfect and you will bear the Alpha's children ." Chrysantha's voice rang out after she had run her eyes all over my body. 

I hadn't realized that Alpha Henry's lips were inches away from the side of my neck. He hissed softly before closing the distance. 

I clasped my hand quickly over my mouth, suppressing the moan. 

"First, I need to mark you." His voice came out in a drunken state before he sank his fangs into my neck, marking me as his mate right in front of his Luna.
