Nebraska took a step back to stop, shaking violently. The image of the alpha before her terrified her as much as it could captivate her.
The loose, tousled dark hair that framed his pearly face in tiny beads of sweat. The unbuttoned shirt that clung to the skin exposing the defined muscles of an adult wolf in its prime. The baggy pants that barely made the effort to hide her shapely legs and the complete absence of shoes made him look wilder than what he normally displayed. Although, Nebraska was more attentive to the menacing glint in his silver eyes than she could define even with his impaired eyesight.
She took another step back only to receive an answering growl from him and her throat went dry. Her entire body was withdrawing, wanting to run away and go to him in equal parts. His mind dictated that she had to get out of there, but the animal nature was strong and dictated that she should join this alpha.
She did not want to. That would make her remember the pain she felt every time her body was invaded again and again by that wolf who only sought his own satisfaction without caring about her opinion. It had always been this way and nothing dictated that Hades was not the same.
His smell said it, his movements said it, and that look made her leave all doubt.
She felt him approach and she could only walk in the opposite direction from her back, slowly. Every cell in his body seemed to want to go against him. Her omega nature was submissive and she would bow to the command of this alpha far superior to her. Few knew the internal damage that was inflicted every time she faced it, every time she ignored succumbing to his orders.
Hades did not speak. He was looking at the helpless little wolf ready to be his dish. Her sweet smell had him intoxicated. He did not recognize who she was, amid the mist of desire that gnawed at every corner of his body, he only knew that in front of him there was a female to mate and alleviate his desire.
He licked his lips with relish already savoring his next feast, he would make sure to enjoy every moment and affirm his offspring. That was what his blood dictated and he would.
Nebraska couldn’t take it anymore and biting her lip until it bled she turned and ran aimlessly, she had to get as far away as possible, she had to get out of that place. Unfortunately for her, her body was hit hard and she fell to the ground, hitting her chest, losing her breath and being stunned for a few moments.
Hades’ feet were located on either side of her hips and he knelt down leaving his hands on Nebraska’s wrists, pinning them tightly against the ground causing her to groan.
-Hades let go of me- she shook hard trying to remove it from above but it was useless, she did not move, she did not speak, she only felt the unbridled heartbeat against her back and the masculine heat penetrating the fine fabric of her clothing.
She kicked and moved her hips, refusing to give in, if she did, things would not end well at all and panicked as she was, she had no head to think clearly. But, all her attempts seemed like a wolfhound to that alpha who wouldn’t back down an inch, he growled and she froze.
Her skin froze and turned pale, even her shaking stopped. The smell of zeal enveloped her again, suffocating her. Her eyes filled with tears at the helplessness of not being able to defend herself. She hated being so weak, she hated being an omega.
Hades licked his lips again, ecstatic and left his teeth and fangs in view, grasping the edge of the neck, tearing it to gain better access to the skin and bringing his lips to the nape of the neck, licking the skin that had lost all warmth.
-Please don’t do it- Nebraska’s voice came out in delirious little sobs as she turned her face towards him- Hades don’t do it, not like this-
But her words apparently did not reach him. The wolf just blinked, his breath coming out in little puffs thus showing his excitement and ecstasy. When he opened his mouth with his canines that were lengthened even more for the moment of leaving the Nebraska mark, she closed his eyes tightly waiting for the pain that she knew would make her lose even consciousness. It was not so.
Two drops of some hot liquid fell on her cheek. Nebraska opened her eyes slowly, and through the haze she could make out narrowed silver eyes and something indefinitely shaped crimson near her mouth. Hades gritted his teeth against the skin of his arm while maintaining a thread of sanity.
-Go away- he managed to articulate as he released his injured member and the blood ran to the edge of his chin- Get away from me. I do not want to hurt you-
Nebraska understood instantly and when his hands were released he moved from under the wolf and staggered to his feet.
-Hades- she hesitated at having to leave him in that state.
-Get out of here- he shouted through clenched teeth- Or I will make you mine without being conscious and I will not be anything gentle-
The omega drew back and, pressing her lips in a line, began to run aimlessly, she had to get away now that she could.
The moment her mind began to process everything she realized that she had not been marked. At the last moment Hades had bitten himself to avoid damaging her. A pulse in her heart made her steady for a second and she started walking again, losing total notion of where she was until she collided with something or someone. She staggered backward, totally losing his balance.
Hands grabbed her arms, preventing her from falling to the ground.
-Well, then don’t say they don’t make it easy for me, and I’m looking for a way to meet you and you appear to me from heaven- the sarcastic comment barely bothered her.
The red-haired wolf had been the one she had collided with in her escape and now he had her tightly held, but Nebraska had no strength to argue. His breathing was agitated, she was altered, and she was shaking hopelessly.
Layan jerked her closer when he saw the collar of her torn dress exposing her entire collarbone, one of her shoulders and part of the mound of her chest, and smelled against her skin. He smiled and searched behind the back of his neck to find nothing. With Hades out of the game, everything was easier.
He raised an eyebrow as he pulled her apart and found her frowning at him.
-You know, I love that look of yours, it can be exciting but for now- he raised a hand and put it before his eyes moving it- Sweet dreams, beautiful-
Nebraska’s body fell limp in his arms in a deep sleep and with his constant breathing. Once again Layan had used one of her strange and hidden abilities. This would be a secret between them.
