“I can’t answer that,” Klane said. He rounded the desk, picked up the bag and then walked to the door. Holi couldn’t believe Klane was going to leave just like that.

“What do you mean you can’t answer me?”

“I mean just that. I can’t answer your question. You’ll have to wait until he comes back. Maybe he’ll answer you.”

“I am not waiting for four days for him to come back here and give me some bullshit reason why he chased me around the damn capital for months only to abandon me when his heat comes around. He owes me an explanation.”

“Technically, you owe him.”

“Stop saying stupid shit and take me to him,” Holi growled.

A smile bloomed on Klane’s lips. “You’re asking me to take you to master Xaine, right? I’m not coaxing you.”

“What?” Holi asked confused. “What are you talking about? Must I spell it out to you? Take me to your master. Now. Right this instant, Klane.”

“Yes, of course. This way please,” Klane said, opening the door for Holi. They silently walked out of the house into the waiting pod. “If he asks, tell him you demanded to come with me.”

“I will,” Holi snapped.

They drifted in silence for what felt like forever. Holi gritted his teeth as his body burned hotter. He never thought his heat could get this bad, but here he was. He was so horny; he couldn’t see where they were going. Holi bit the inside of his mouth to keep from crying. Desire crawled down his spine, causing his hole to spasm. He was so wet. His pants were soaked. The sweet smell omegas emitted when they were in heat filled the pod. If Klane or Preat smelled it, they didn’t show it.

“We’re almost there. Hold on,” Klane said from the front of the pod.

He could smell it then, Holi thought too far gone to blush. They drifted for a few more minutes before the pod came to a stop.

“Holi, we’re here,” Klane said.

Holi opened his eyes and looked around. Lights lit up a driveway to a massive house. Holi groaned as he got to his feet and walked out of the pod. Klane walked ahead of him to the door. The beta opened the door and stepped aside for him to walk inside the house.

“Here,” Klane said, handing Holi the bag. “I’ll leave you two. There is food in the cooking station ready to go. I told the maids to prepare food for him before they left. So, you don’t have to worry about that. He might chase you away. Don’t let him. No matter how scary he gets. He won’t hurt you. He cares about you. He wouldn’t be doing this if he didn’t.”

Holi nodded, too turned on to argue with Klane. The beta loved his master, he would make up any excuse to make Xaine look good. Even though Xaine’s actions said otherwise. If Xaine cared about him, he would have told him what was going on instead of acting weird for two days straight, and then leaving when Holi needed him the most.

Holi walked into the house, following Xaine’s scent all the way to the main bedroom. He smelled so good. Holi couldn’t wait to roll around in the alpha’s scent.

The door to the room opened just as Holi reached for the door handle. Xaine stood there staring at him. The gold in his eyes was more pronounced than Holi had ever seen. It shimmered, enticing Holi closer. Holi took a step towards Xaine, but the alpha growled menacingly, stopping him in his tracks. Xaine’s scent thickened, filling the space. Instead of the scent being oppressive and too much, Holi felt it wrap around him and pull on his insides.

Holi wanted to get closer to him, but Xaine looked murderous. An anxious feeling sliced through Holi’s stomach.

“Xaine?” Holi said cautiously.

“You shouldn’t be here,” Xaine rumbled, stalking towards Holi. “Why did you come?”

“I need you,” Holi said. “And you need me too. Why did you leave me? Don’t you want me? Are you tired of me?”

“I want you…. more than you know,” Xaine said, getting closer. Holi involuntarily took a step back. Xaine’s eyes zoomed in on it, getting brighter. “If you knew the things I want to do to you. You would run.”

Fuck. Holi wanted to run. He wanted to leave and never look back. But everything inside him said he shouldn’t.

“I’m not running Xaine. I’m right here,” Holi said.

“What if I wanted you to?” he asked softly, as if he was embarrassed to even say it. Holi stared at him confused for a second, and then it hit him.

Without thinking, he turned and ran. Xaine growled. The sound was thrilling and arousing. Holi stumbled as a wave of desire slammed into him. He looked over his shoulder at Xaine, and the alpha slowly prowled towards him. It felt like a few months ago when Xaine was chasing him all over the capital. Holi’s heart accelerated. Pleasure, anticipation, and desire mingled inside him.

“Oh fuck…oh fuck…” he gasped. His cock ached to the point of pain.

Why was this turning him on so much?
