He had slapped Nick Jonas's cheek at least three times before his vision cleared enough to even notice what he was doing. Nick Jonas whimpered, panting as he kept spanking his ass mercilessly. He didn't try to get away. He wasn't fighting his hold in the slightest. "You know nothing, Omega. Nothing. I'm not the right Alpha for you. I don't care what any of the gods may have to say. They know nothing and neither do you.""Anything Y-You have to tell yourself." Nick Jonas's voice was anguished. He could sense he was causing him pain, but he could not help himself.He had no idea how long they stood there, Nick Jonas doubled over the bathroom sink as he went on punishing his ass relentlessly. But by the time he had managed to regain control of himself to the extent where he was aware of what he was doing, he was gasping with the effort, his hand and arm hurting. Nick Jonas was crying silently, his ass fire engine red. Even with his hand alone, he could already see the start of some bruis
"COWARD." The word was barely a whisper, but he heard it loud and clear. His knuckles were strained with how tight he was gripping the handle to the bathroom door.He had to ignore him. He had to go and leave. He'd already demonstrated he wasn't able to stay in the same room as this Omega. It was too risky.He did not go. He stayed right where he was, his hand freezing with gripping the handle, hissing daggers through the Black-And-Gold door. His shoulders tightened in effort to restrain himself. All he could do was to shove this Omega into the wall and, teeth against his neck and cock against his ass, show him what it meant to belong to him.He could not handle that, though, and more self-control than he thought he had was required to lie still."What?" Between clenched teeth, he snarled.The Omega moved a little closer to him. His eyes slammed shut and he gasped for breath, as if it would make any difference. The scent of the Omega filled his nostrils."You heard me, Alpha." His voi
Then Lyon's scent went into his lungs again and all his uncertainty disappeared. He was part of that Alpha, end of. And if so, then Lyon could not be one for stodgy tradition and stiffness because those would be at odds. He would walk in there, prove to him his emotions were correct, and make his case. What could possibly go wrong? Lyon would reject him?His chest tightened at the thought and the hysteria was already brewing. He squashed it down ruthlessly. No, even if Lyon turned him down, that would be better than moping over him from a distance when he'd never even heard the man speak. Who would have guessed, maybe after he spoke to him once, these wacky feelings would fade and he'd be able to find one of these Alphas who wanted him back and get on with his life. Even while he was speaking, he knew how unlikely that was. In a way, Lyon already had his heart in a vice grip. His inner beast sense would approve no other mate but this fellow, and he didn't want to know what would happe
Ryan's eyes followed, and his eyebrows sprang up. "Lyon? Was he the one you saw?"He shrugged, not knowing his name. Ryan and Robby shared a look, and he knew it wasn't good."Are you positive it was him? The Alpha on the right of the one with glasses and a red suit?""Yes, I'm positive. Why? Why are you two looking at me like that?They did not respond to him, but once more shared a look between them, clearly having a conversation. That was quick old. "Is he terrible?""Oh no, nothing like that," Robby hastily responded. "He is a friend of my dad. He's always been super nice. One of the only Alphas to side with Ryan in the board meeting to vote him in as president."He wrinkled his nose. None of those sounded like bad things. "I-I don't understand.""It's just that," Ryan started and then let out a heavy sigh, rubbing his face. "Lyon won't take a mate. Ever. And he makes sure everyone knows that, which is odd in itself because he's usually the strong and silent type. But he hasn't cr
Reluctantly, he uncomfortably rose from his seat. "Alpha Montroose, it was good seeing you again." Ryan took her outstretched hand and kissed the knuckles. He just repressed his laugh and glanced at Robby, who smiled at him. Albeit hopelessly naive in such a situation, his brother was otherwise, his own charm effortless.He was so easy-going in the house, ostensibly renouncing all the manners and conventions of their society, that one could think he wasn't bred and educated for this role."Alpha Bulclaws. Forgive me, it has been much too long." Her eyes flashed at Robby, warmth in them. "I think congratulations are in order?"His brother’s face split in the dopey grin that it always did when he was thinking about Robby. They were so in love, it made him a little sick sometimes. “Yes, thank you. Lady Aurora, I’m pleased to introduce my husband, Robby.” He squeezed Robby’s hand affectionately before gesturing toward him, where he stood awkwardly on their other side. “And this is my brot
He did not want that farce, that deception and taking on an Omega or a mate, but he could not look away. He found him in a daze, one that he could not break. And then, as if noticing him standing there looking at him from across the room, the eyes of the Omega were upon him. Whatever enchantment that had him under its spell took him too. The young Omega stiffened, eyes clashing with him, noticing no one nor anything else. He swore, even at this distance, he could see him shiver, chubby lower lip falling between his teeth. He didn't have to take a step closer to scent him to know he was aroused.He was aware on the fringes of the people around them, but they were background chatter. All his instincts within him were shouting to go to him, to make the Omega his. The audacity of him trying to seek out another mate tonight. No one else existed, only him. He would make him his right here in front of this group of people, make every single one of these Alphas know who he belonged to. Leave
