Nebraska’s memory of her mate’s heat was when the alpha had attacked her because her daughter had taken her there, before being abducted by Layan. And she could only say that she had felt real fear. Not the raw one, like the one she suffered with Rudoc while he held her captive, but a wilder one that unnerved her.
And now she stood there, in front of the door of the same room where she had seen him leave on that occasion, ready to be the one to enter. Leoxi and Siran were at her back. As males, they knew the state they put themselves in and the damage they could cause to the females, and more so Hades who was an alpha. Reason why they had refused, from the first moment, to let their queen take such a risk.
-Queen, you can still take it back- Siran said.
Her she-wolf was in charge of taking care of Nebraska’s children since they would be at least four days without seeing them. If she could hold out that long. The alpha’s heat had started a few hours ago so they were in a cold sweat. Pheromones poured out from under the door and enveloped mostly his wife, calling to her.
-When a male is in heat he acts differently if he is bonded. Only his mate will give him relief and he will get very possessive- Siran said scrunching his nose, -He is driving us out with his scent. He doesn’t want us around while his female is in his area.
Leoxi stepped back a little pale.
-I still don’t agree with this. You are putting yourselves both in danger. My brother’s heat is too strong.
-I’ll be fine- Nebraska said without backing down, -I’m sure Hades won’t hurt me, he never has.
At those words, the two wolves swallowed dryly and backed away further.
-We will stay in the boundaries, so that the alpha cannot sense our presence so close or it could upset him, and be more possessive and aggressive. If you need help, please shout and we will go in to save you- Siran stressed the same speech again for about the tenth time.
-I’ll be fine Siran. Leoxi, trust me.
The Commander made his face more serious than it was.
-I trust you and blindly trust my brother, but I don’t trust your instincts. These same instincts made him defend our mother when my father found us. We were really afraid he would hurt her or take us away from her. It was wartime after all, and we were on different sides.
Nebraska knew this story. And it was one that had really touched her. Despite being on opposite sides, her parents had fought for reunification and for their relationship to flourish. To this day, Saisen and Celesia were a purely stable couple, despite being so different.
Once Nebraska felt that both Leoxi and Siran had moved far enough away, she opened the door, walked in and closed it. She had to take a deep breath and concentrate so that her legs, which were beginning to shake, wouldn’t drop her to her knees.
The room was riddled with a dense alpha pheromone, which, above all, were turning her on. She hadn’t even needed touch and already she felt wet and not like she normally did. A thin thread ran down her thigh since she was only wearing a short nightgown. She was responding to her partner’s call.
She raised her head. There, in the middle of the room was a huge iron bed, but it was what was on it that made him shiver. Those eyes were devouring her, of a silver so deep that they had no pupil, and that made her shudder.
Hades was in the middle of that bed, completely naked, only a light sheet hid the erection he had at that moment and that for sure was bigger than when he was not in heat. He was leaning against the back of the bed and his hands, on either side of his head, were well supported. Even he was struggling to try to untie himself, but was unable to do so. Siran and Leoxi had tied him securely.
-Hades- she called out to him, testing his level of reasoning.
But she only received a grunt coming out of the alpha’s mouth. Mouth where his fangs rested fully unsheathed and a trickle of saliva ran down the edge of his mouth, given the level of arousal. His wild side was in total command.
Dangerous.
Nebraska shivered. She still couldn’t believe she was going to do that. The alpha’s scent was drawing her in strongly and she found herself walking towards him, almost mesmerized. She swallowed dryly. She could still remember the strength of him, the way he had held her, almost how he had forced himself on her, but it was Hades after all and he had come back into her consciousness saving her from biting her, against her will.
She smiled. Her wolf was special, and even though he was scary now, she felt safer than she had many times. So, when she was beside the bed, she looked at her husband, and gently so as not to alarm him, she swung her legs over his hips and straddled him.
The thin fabric of the sheet was the only obstacle to them not touching skin to skin, however, the heat from both of them seeped through making them moan. Nebraska felt like she could lose control. She was an omega after all and this meant she responded to her alpha with submission and pleasure.
To her surprise, Hades’ body went still, only breathing heavily letting his chest rise hard. The she-wolf brought her hand to her husband’s cheek and cradled it.
-Do you recognize me? -She spoke slowly, watching him rub against her palm, closing his eyes.
She didn’t answer him, but somehow, she knew he was aware that it was her. He cradled her cheek with his other hand and kissed her lips, softly. Studying her reaction, but as her head parted, Hades’ was faster and his teeth caught her lower lip and drew her in forcing the kiss. Nebraska moaned and suddenly felt overwhelmed. It wasn’t just the kiss that became wilder than she imagined, with Hades’ tongue claiming hers; it was the wolf’s pheromones that were making her dizzy. They were too strong.
-Wait- she managed to pull away a little to catch her breath so her husband could divert his attention to her neck. The next thing she knew, Hades had buried his fangs deep in that area.
Nebraska shuddered and something stirred in her abdomen and even lower. And unlike hurting it was another sensation that assaulted her. Especially, when the fangs left her neck and Hades’ tongue began to clean the blood there.
Definitely, she could tell, the rut of a wolf, no… the rut of an alpha was scary, and she was plunging into utter madness. And she knew this would only be the beginning.
