“Please!” she cries, scrambling away from where she came. “Please help me.”

I don’t get the chance to move closer to her. An Alpha almost as big as Aldric stalks toward her, a gleam of triumph on his face. He lifts her off her feet and grabs her around her chest, a hand clamped possessively over one large breast. Once he has her secure, he carts her back to where they came. She screams, looking at me forassistance. I try to rise to help her, hand outstretched in her direction, but I’m hauled off the ground with speed. Just as the Alpha did to that female omega, a possessive arm locks around my chest, keeping me in place.

“Too slow, angel,” Aldric growls in my ear, just before he roughly pulls my head to the side and sinks his teeth into my neck.

ALDRIC

The taste of Jude’s blood flows through me, and I’m in fucking heaven. I knew he would taste as delightful as he smells.

My teeth sink in more, and I barely feel Jude’s fists as he beats against my arms and wherever else he can reach on the rest of my body. Even still, his moans of pleasure reverberate against me, a jolt of arousal and awareness rocketing through me.

Before I get too overwhelmed by his flavor and fuck him here and now, I retract my teeth and let him drop. As if boneless, Jude falls to the ground and lifts a shaky hand to his neck. Bewildered eyes meet mine, and I smile at him, blood and saliva dripping down my chin. With two fingers, I swipe it from my flesh and push it back into my mouth, not wanting to waste any of Jude’s taste.

“Get up, angel,” I dub him since everything about him is fucking heavenly. “Make this worth my credits.” I spent a substantial sum to have Jude in this maze, but I would have gladly paid more for the return I’m getting now. It took more time than I thought it would to track himdown. My dick hardens at how much he’s making me work for it.

“You’re a monster,” he mutters, almost inaudibly against the din of screams and moans around us.

This maze was built for me and about twenty other Alphas who had credits to spend. We’ve been planning this Game Night maze for months, wanting our prizes and a way to contain them without other Alphas getting in our way. One of the Alphas owns this plot of land, somewhere away from the city and prying eyes. We pooled our credits and had the maze constructed. It gives us the privacy and the space we need while we play with our spoils.

I smirk, walking up to him. “You better run from the monster then. He’s not as forgiving as most.”

Giving me one last frantic glance, Jude gets to his feet and sprints away. I watch his ass in those ridiculously short shorts that I had him put into, and I smile, swallowing his taste down my throat. Yes, I’ll have that ass before long.

My instincts push me, telling me to hunt down what belongs to me and fuck him until I spill into him over and over. My cock hardens at the thought of Jude’s ass around me, him fighting me all the while.

His fight is a surprise. I didn’t expect him to be passive, but I didn’t expect as much of a battle between us. It’s maddening, and it’s tantalizing. I want more of it.

After a minute of allowing him to scurry away, I close my eyes and pull in a deep breath. When I blow it out, I allow my instincts to take over fully, not planning on reining them in until this night is over.

I run in the direction he went. The place is a true maze, allowing us to get just as lost as the omegas. I sniff the air, following the cherry blossom scent that belongs only to Jude.

A cry goes up when Jude sees me, and I push myselfharder to get to him. He digs in as well, trying to put more distance between us, but I won’t have it. He’s mine, and I’ll have him now. I’ll leave him enough strength to run again when I’m done with him the first time.

Leaping at his back, I take him down to the ground, rolling him over so I’m on top of him. I gather his hands in mine, thrusting them over his head and squeezing his wrists tightly until he cries out.

“Yes,” I groan, nestling between his legs so he can feel how hard he’s made me. I grind against him, pressing against his throbbing cock. “Scream for me, angel.”

He fights me, yanking at his wrist and tossing his head. “Fuck you, Aldric! Let me go.”

“Not yet. Not until I’ve had a taste.” Removing myself from between his legs—but not releasing his hands—I pull his shorts down, drawing them off his ass. He tries to wiggle away, but I hold him still, getting a good view of his body. Under the light of the bright moon, he’s a fucking vision. His creamy skin glows under my hands, the moonlight illuminating him. Fuck yes. I want this omega. “You look good enough to eat, angel.”

“Don’t you fucking dare, Aldric,” he spits, eyes blazing as he glares up at me with contempt. That just makes my dick harder.

Not bothering with removing my pants, I put my weight on Jude so he can’t get away and slide down my zipper. I fish into my underwear until I’m fisting my cock. I pull it out, rubbing it against his slick asshole.

“Augh!” Jude cries out, but instead of moving his hips away, he rotates them, sliding his hole against my cockhead and wetting me up with his juices.

“You want this, don’t you, my sweet omega? You want me filling your ass with my cock, splitting you open? Tell me,” I say, nosing against where I marked him, breathinghim in and licking the wound clean. “Tell me how much you crave my dick.”

“No. I don’t.” Still, he moves his ass along my crown, rolling his hips until I’m almost breaching him.

“You’ll sing a different tune when I’m done with you. But for now, fight. Fight me, angel. Let’s see what you’re really made of.”

With that, I surge into him in one push, his pucker welcoming me, then clamping around me snugly. His mouth drops open, eyes wide as he absorbs me. Gods, he feels fucking good. Better than I thought he would. Still squeezing his hands above his head, I pull my hips back, then thrust into him, pinning him down with my free hand.

“You’re taking me well, angel,” I murmur, rolling my hips to get inside him as far as I can. “You want more? Beg me for it. Beg me to fuck you hard.”
