“You are required to eat everything on the tray before ten am. By then the Alpha of Darkwoods will be with you.” The male doctor from earlier states.
It has been a week since my last attempt at suicide. A week since I'd last seen Ace, the man who restored my life.
His brown eyes were imprinted into my memory after that day. I had mistaken him for the Alpha but he isn't. This is something I learned yesterday when the Alpha of Darkwoods– the pack that had collected me from the claws of Alpha Mich– paid me a visit.
When I'm done eating, just as promised, Alpha Elena saunters into the room. Her brunette hair sways gently over her shoulder, her beautiful green eyes take note of my surroundings before finally landing on me.
Then her lips pull up in a smile as she speaks, “I see they are taking good care of you, Aura.”
“Y..yes Alpha.” I say, my heart unsteady. Although she has been nothing but friendly and sweet, I can't help but fear she'll soon show her true colors once she's gotten whatever she wants from me.
Or when she discovers just how worthless I am and how much of a waste her efforts are.
“How are you feeling? Any better?” She clarifies, taking a seat beside me. I hold still in an attempt to not jump away from her imposing alpha aura.
“I.. I…the…yes.”
“Relax Aura,” she reaches for my hand but I pull away as fear wraps it's wicked claws around my throat. “With time you will relax. I've got a whole team for this and to answer the question written all over your face, Honey…” her words confuse me but she simply smiles as she states, “No, Aura, I don't want you for anything aside ensuring your safety.”
I watch the woman silently. She should be a few years above fifty. Only a few gray hairs sit on her head beside her ears and unlike most alpha's she wears no tattoo on her skin.
She stands to leave and says, “Tomorrow my sons will be dining with me. You should join, Aura.”
And with that she leaves. I am left to stare after her retreating figure until she's out of sight.
It's late in the night when I feel a sudden heat envelope my body. It's so unexpected that I moan in pain, my back aches off the bed as hot steam runs from my breasts to my sex. A louder moan escapes me and I snap my palm over my uncontrollable mouth.
“What's wrong with me?”
Then I remember all I learned about heat and I instantly get the answer to my question. I've unfortunately met my mate and although he rejected me, my Omega body betrays me as I am consumed by a primal urge I can't control. A searing ache pulses between my legs, and my senses are overwhelmed by the intoxicating scent of an Alpha. Strangely my strength and agility surge, driving me to follow the irresistible aroma.
I wade through hallways, passing by the rooms with an unsteady gait, my nose in the air, my shivering body guiding me toward the source of the seductive scent.
The door to the Alpha's lair is ajar, and the fragrance wafting out is almost too much to bear. I collapse to my knees, as tears fall down my face. Goddess, I need him!
With a surge of determination, I push myself up and enter the room, claiming the space as my own. The Alpha's scent– full of power and comfort– envelopes me, both soothing and intensifying the ache within my core.
Like a crazed animal I find myself pulling out soft materials from the black cupboard into the bed. More tears of relief flood my eyes when I pull the clothes to my face. I want him, now!
I quickly prepare a nest on the bed, shedding my clothes and claiming the Alpha's soft garments as my own.
I inhale one last time, it's a mixture of my scent and the scent of my alpha. Finally, I surrender to my heat, crying out for my Alpha's assistance.
A man strides out of a shower and I moan deep in my throat. I close my eyes as I absorb his perfect aroma. My eyes flicker open and the moment it does my breath seizes as I take in what is in front of me.
The first thing to get my attention are his eyes, dark green like a rare emerald. His face looks familiar, like Alpha Ace, the one who gave me his blood but I know the man standing before me isn't him. If anything he is ten times better. I swallow when my gaze lowers. His broad shoulders shield me from all undermining view. Through his towel the imprint of his dick is tempting yet threatening.
Goddess
He looks shocked to find me in his bed as he covers his nose, possibly to block out the scent of my heat. Does he find me disgusting? Is..is my nest that hideous? I didn't have enough time. I swear I can do better.
"Who are you?" He demands, his voice firm but laced with a hint of curiosity.
I lift my gaze, my eyes locking onto my Alpha. “Y...yours," I whisper, my voice husky with need. "I'm yours, Alpha. Please...help me."
His eyes narrow as he swallows. "You're not one of my pack members. How did you get here?"
My gaze drops again, my body trembling. "... I..I followed your scent. I couldn't help myself. Please, Alpha, I need you."
Heat crashes into me once again and I follow my instincts willing to do whatever it takes to make my alpha claim me. I get on my hands and knees, positioning my exposed slick sex to him. “Take me, Alpha.”
His eyes darken as his resolve wavers, his heavy eyes drawn to the my exposed form. "You're in heat," he states, his voice softer.
I nod, my eyes suddenly welling up with tears. "Yes, Alpha. I need you to claim me. Please, don't deny me." I beg, feeling shameless.
The Alpha's face twists in a mixture of frustration and desire. "I don't know you," he growls.
I creep closer my full breasts hanging delightfully from my chest, my hands extended. "Then get to know me, Alpha. Claim me, and I'll be yours forever."
The softness in his gaze vanishes as his eyes flash with a hint of warning, but his body betrays him, his arousal growing stronger. "You're playing with fire, Omega," he warns.
"You do not know what you offer, Omega. I will fuck you till you are unable to remember your name. I'll use you till I'm satisfied but you'll never be more than sex to me."
At his words more slick leaks out from both my holes. “Please…” I cry brokenly, wanting nothing more than for him to stick his thick cock inside me. I moan louder when the thought causes my walls to clench, pouring out more slick in the process.
“Fuck!” Is all I hear before the alpha is jumping in my nest with me.
With a swift motion, he sweeps me into his embrace, his lips claiming mine in a fierce, dominant kiss.
Aura's POVAt first we don't notice the sky darkening, too lost in the heated kiss to realize. But then raindrops begin to fall, gently at first, then it intensifies into a relentless downpour. “Hmm,” I moan against Alpha Xzen's lips a second before he pulls me up to wrap my legs around his waist. My fingers tangle in Alpha Xzen's hair while his hands roam my curves like a starved man. But our bliss is short-lived. A squeak leaves my lips when the rain suddenly becomes a torrent, forcing us to seek refuge. Alpha Xzen grasps my hand, “follow me!” He shouts under the rain, pulling me along with him. Laughter escapes my chest as we run like two pups in the rain. Xzen glances back at me, his eyes warm. I run after him, feeling my heart lighten as I'm led back to my shelter. Our footsteps splashing in puddles.Michel and Henry must be in their outside rooms on both sides of the small house, as they are nowhere to be found when we burst through the shelter's entrance.The door barely ge
As I walk up to meet Alpha Xzen, my heart pounds heavily in my chest. He stands a few feet away, two guards standing beside him but not too close. His eyes are fixed on me as I step closer, expecting him to say something– anything that'll give me some indication of why he's waiting for me. But instead, Alpha Xzen's eyes shine as he simply gently tugs me away from the rising murmur of the small groups of individuals standing and sitting in the green field. A kind shiver graces my spine at the warm contact. I inhale, noting how good he smells. Alpha Xzen's thumb rubs softly the back of my tensed hand and I instantly relax, feeling a calm heat course through my hand to my heart. I stumble slightly, caught off guard by his sudden quick movement, like he's scared I'll refuse to follow him. "W...where are you taking me?" I ask, trying to hide the uncertainty in my voice. No, it's not that I'm scared of Alpha Xzen, but because I'm not sure what to expect from him. He doesn't respond resp
Aura's POVThe grass is wet today. Wet drops quickly slip into my sandals as myself and Bay stroll down to class. Today's our exam. It's our final practical class, one that I and Bay have been studying hard for. Like every other day, Bay came to wait at my door so we can stroll to class together but I don't believe that's the only reason. Considering how interested in Henry she was when I got out, I'd say he's the main reason she keeps showing up. As we stroll, I silently listen to Bay rant on about how Michel is always ruining her fun with Henry and how unfair it is. “I mean, I'm no longer with that cheating count so why can't I mate with a mateless beauty?!” Bay unsurprisingly yells.Yes, she's is... a lot. She's loud, blunt, and very dramatic, but somehow it all just works. Most days she's like a breath of fresh air to my worrisome mind, stirring things up and keeping me in the present.I realize, as we walk, that I've never known anyone like Bay. Someone who's so unapologetical
It's been days since I last saw Alpha Xzen, and weeks since I moved out of the pack house. Through out this time a lot of things have been inconsistent. Although I hate to say it, I'm better off within the pack house where every thing is set in motion for me. Here at the shelter I can hardly coordinate myself. It's only now that I've tried living on my own, without the help of the pack that I realize just how much was being done for me back there. I never had to make my own meals, never had to wash the dishes, never had to worry for anything materialistic, Alpha Elena ensured I had it all even before I asked. It saddens me to remember I never once really thanked her before moving out. I'd been too blinded by hurt. Also I have noticed how most pack members tend to stare when I pass by. At first I'd quicken my pace and hurry off but ever since Bay made it her duty to walk me home, I've realized they all are simply curious about me. Most times whenever Bay waves at them they run up
Xzen's POVOne look at Aura and I'm suddenly transported back to that evening…when I saw her with Ace. My frustration rises as I remember how close they both were to each other. I felt a pang of jealousy then, and I feel it now.I've tried so hard to get her to open up to me but she chooses to share space with Ace. Someone who's barely in the pack these days. How could she spend time with him so easily, when every time I take a step towards her, she takes a hundred back? It doesn't make sense. Hell, I thought I knew her, thought I understood her fears and her boundaries. But now, I'm not so sure.Aura's expression is confused, her brow furrowed in concern. She takes a cautious step back, her eyes darting towards the door like she's reminding herself of the available escape. Her stance is frightened, her weight shifting on to a leg as if she's ready to flee at any moment.I also notice how her tiny hands are clenched into fists, her knuckles white with tension. She's trembling, ever
Xzen's POV"And where is he?!’’ I glare deadly at the guard, my demand shaking the room. The man, a tall, confident figure with chiseled features and a strong jaw line, bows submissively, but answers calmly, ‘'I do not know, Alpha.’'I take a step closer, my anger escalating. ‘'When last did he report to duty?!'’ I question, my chest heaving. I'm hit with a pang of irritation when I notice Collins sitting at a corner of the room, frowning.'’Relax, Alpha,'’ Collins says as he tries to intervene. '’It's just a training session. I'm sure someone else can stand in for Ace.'’I whirl around, directing my fury at him. '’You've been gone for a while, you have no idea just how lackadaisical he's been,'’ I snarl, my eyes flashing with anger.The guard seems to sense ann opportunity and speaks up, '’Alpha Xzen, I could fetch Ace if you desire.' He lifts his head a bit, his confident demeanor permanent. Just as trained.I frown, my eyes darkening. ‘'From this day forward, he ceases to be the Pa
