Page 9 of Denied By the Alphas

“Hey, babe,” said Talon, who always seemed to be flirting with me even though I wasn’t their omega. His midnight-black hair and sharp green eyes, along with his vanilla scent, created a dangerous combination for any omega. I couldn’t help the clenching between my legs as I hugged him next. “You look stunning.”

“I’m trying not to be,” I said quickly. “I don’t want Henry getting the wrong idea.”

“What’s wrong with him?” he teased with a glimmer in his eye.

“He’s in his sixties,” I replied, rolling my eyes. “I’m not going to mess with him.”

“So what’s the goal here?” asked Griffin, crossing his arms and looking ready for war.

“I just want to make an appearance and leave,” I said. “I just need to say hi to Henry, and then we can leave after hanging out for a little bit.”

“Sounds good,” said Griffin.

“We’re already a couple of hours late,” said Logan, glancing at his fancy watch. As a punctual alpha, he hated wasting time. I knew he’d rather be at home painting his masterpieces than babysitting me at a party. “Let’s go.”

Dread washedover me the moment we arrived at Henry’s home. It was essentially a mansion that towered over us. I had seen it once or twice but had never been inside.

Anxiety enveloped me as we walked between the imposing wrought-iron gates, guarded by stern-faced security personnel dressed in sleek black suits, adding to the air of exclusivity surrounding the event. Elegant guests milled about on the manicured lawn, their laughter and clinking glasses creating a tantalizing backdrop as we approached the entrance.

“Wow,” I breathed, linking my arm through Logan’s for support. “I’ve always wondered what it was like inside these parties.”

As we stepped into the lavish ballroom, I couldn't help but gawk at the opulence around us.

The room was bathed in warm, golden light that glinted off the polished marble floor and crystal chandeliers above. Alphas and omegas spun gracefully around the dance floor to the lilting strains of a waltz, while beta servants, dressed in crisp white shirts and black vests, circulated with trays of sparkling champagne flutes.

“This is actually a big deal,” Logan said.Griffin stood protectively at my other side while Talon trailed closely behind us.

The perfume of the omegas was overwhelming as they danced with their partners. Combined with the scent of alpha testosterone, it was making my head spin.

Amid the swirling crowd, I suddenly caught Tyler’s gaze from across the room. He looked utterly captivating in his dark suit, and the intensity of his stare made my stomach clench. My cheeks flushed hot with desire, and I tried to ignore the pull I felt towards him.

“Logan,” I said, nervously fidgeting with my dress. “I don’t think I even needed to come here. Henry probably won't even notice I’m here.”

“Well, it's too late now that you dragged me here,” he replied smoothly, taking my hands. “Now, how about a dance to take your mind off things?”

“Uh, sure,” I agreed, still trying to shake the feeling of Tyler’s eyes on me.

Logan led me onto the dance floor, and his hands on my waist stirred feelings within me. My breathing grew harsher at such close proximity, and I started to wonder what was happening. He had always been just a friend to me, but with him practically hugging me, it was becoming something more.

We danced to the music, spinning in circles like the other packs around us. One omega was dancing with three of her alphas at the same time, which looked too complicated for me. I looked up, unconsciously turning my face toward Tyler, and saw him standing there with a hand on his gun, glaring at me.

What the hell was his problem?

“I need to use the bathroom,” I blurted out as the song ended, my cheeks burning from our close proximity.

“Want me to come with you?” he asked, a hint of concern in his voice.

“No, it’s okay,” I replied quickly, not wanting to admitthat I was too flustered by his touch and Tyler’s unending glare.

As I leftthe crowded ballroom for some air, I found myself wandering down an opulent hallway. Suddenly, I noticed a room covered in glass, filled with a large number of people.

Walking toward it, I realized what was happening. There was a massive glass wall, and behind it was an orgy taking place on the other side.

Alphas, omegas, and betas were completely naked in this dark corner of the mansion. There were even alphas in their wolf forms, licking and nuzzling the females while an omega moaned in ecstasy, her body filled by five alphas simultaneously.

My face grew even hotter as I took in the scene, my arousal mounting at the raw display of desire before me.

“Would you like to join them?” a deep voice whispered in my ear, making me jump. Henry stood there, smiling at the crowd of indecency on the other side of the glass.
