“Don’t say that. You didn’t make him do anything,” Hazi said, pulling the collar of his long shirt into place, covering the mark. “You can’t make an alpha claim you, Ny. That’s not how it works.”
Nylune shook his head. “You don’t know how it was. I literally begged him to do it. He didn’t want to help me in the first place, so he wouldn’t have claimed me. I…” Nylune trailed off because he didn’t know what had happened. He went crazy like he always did when he was in heat; he became the creature he’d been in that office five years ago, begging and doing everything he could to get Deltta Kohle to breed him. There’s something a lot of people didn’t know. Nylune even doubted that Deltta knew this, or maybe he didn’t remember because of the drug. But Deltta had resisted him. He’d fought him until his begging and sobbing got the better of him. He couldn’t resist an omega in need. No alpha could.
Nylune closed his eyes, mortified all over again. He knew this was a bad idea. He should have stopped Dr Micha, but he had been hopeful. He’d longed to be normal again. To live, to breathe, to fall in love, so he’d given into the stupid experiment. Now, he’d ruined another alpha’s life. A hot tear splashed his cheek.
“Ny?”
“He didn’t want to help me. He doesn’t want me. Dr Micha forced him to do it because I helped him. He wouldn’t have claimed me if I hadn’t made him.”
“What are you going to do, then?”
Before he could think of anything, there was a knock at the door. “Are you expecting someone?”
Nylune shook his head. He unfolded himself from the chaise and made his way to the screen on the wall displaying footage from his front door. Nylune gasped when he saw who was at the door.
“Shit, he’s here. I know you told me your alpha is Adew Pax. But fuck,” Hazi said excitedly. “Adew Pax is here!”
He’s not my alpha, Nylune silently groaned. He didn’t need this right now.
Chapter 10
Adew
What was wrong with him? Adew leaned his head against the door of the clothing cubicle and loudly groaned.
He was acting like a fucking teenager on his first crush, unable to communicate his feelings.
This time he took his assholery to another level. He just kept fucking talking. He didn’t even know why he wanted to provoke the omega – see him frown irritably, clench his jaw, and purse his puffy red lips as his grey eyes went stormy.
He didn’t know? Damn he was laughable.
Of course, he knew. Seeing him bristle and bite his bottom lip as he swallowed whatever he wanted to spiel at him gave him a rush. It thrilled him to see the challenge in his eyes and fighting spirit. He made him respond in kind – feel the alpha in him rise and reach out to him. The omega didn’t just submit to him, he made him earn his submission… made him prove that he was worthy to be his alpha. His submission was an aphrodisiac. And he loved it. He made him feel like himself again – like the alpha who fucking walked into the sphere and owned it. Adew wanted to be around him, to feel more of that feeling, breathe in his delicious scent, and fuck him until they both couldn’t walk. Adew’s body tightened at that thought and his cock thickened.
Oh shit, he groaned, ramming his head against the door of the clothing cubicle.
He didn’t need this right now. He didn’t need an omega in his life. There was a reason why he and Urim where not together anymore. He wasn’t going to drag an omega into his life.
“I won’t,” Adew whispered, slamming his head into the door over and over.
“I can come back another time,” Lars’s voice filled the space. “You look like you have some unfinished business with that door.”
Adew snarled and snatched the door open. He roughly put on his clothes and turned to look at his manager. “When did you get here?” he asked, moving to the bed. Nylune’s scent hit him as he got closer, heightening his arousal. He made a U-turn and went to the serving bot. He sighed in relief as the smell of food filled his nose, taking away the omega’s scent.
“Too soon it would seem. Are you okay?” Lars asked. His eyes fell on the bed, and they widened as he clearly caught the smell of sex and Nylune’s amazing scent. He moved to Adew and sniffed him too. “What the hell happened while I was out there, hunting for a house for you? You had an omega in here. I thought you didn’t want an omega to see your body – ever. That’s why you rejected Urim, because you didn’t want him to see you like this.”
Fuck. Adew wiped his hand over his face. He couldn’t believe he was about to have the same conversation with Lars that he had had with himself. He already knew how crazy the situation was. He didn’t need Lars to confirm it.
“I know what I did to Urim. There’s no need to bring him up. And this is nothing like that.” Adew explained to Lars what happened. From the moment he went into heat and fell, ending up in bed with the omega. “He needs an alpha. And I couldn’t exactly say no. Dr Micha would have cut my balls off if I did.”
Lars stared at him for a while. Adew could guess what he was thinking. He should have fucking said no. It wasn’t his fault that the omega caught his scent. But that hadn’t crossed his mind when Nylune had stood in front of him, looking hot. He’d been… Adew shook his head because he couldn’t even explain it.
“He wouldn’t have forced you.” Lars said suddenly, taking him by surprise. Adew looked away from him, feeling like he could see the truth in his eyes. He had an inexplicable attraction to the omega. “Then again you were in heat for the first time in a year. I’m sure you couldn’t resist.”
Yeah, let’s go with that, Adew thought, nodding.
“So, what happens now?”
“You don’t have to hunt for a house anymore.” Adew opened the serving bot and took out his food.
