I didn’t know a beast could be sad… I have yet to see anything on their face but lust, wrath and greed… but something about it disturbs my spirt…I hate it…this tears this beast shed makes my heart do incomprehensible things…

“Mira?” I grumble with an unspoken question I want to ask but why do I even give a damn? But when his grip goes slack, I happily turn.Yes! I can run!

But the moment I go is when a painful whimper pierces my ears, slowing my steps.No! Don’t stop! Keep going! Fuck this beast!

“Awwwwwooooo!” The sad whimper draws me to a stop and I turn to see he’s soaked in sweat, tear streaming down his eyes and his body convulsing.Shit!I go to run over to him, but I stop once more…No!I shouldn’t help him! He’s the enemy! He’s my captor h— “Awwoooo!” he whines and I see him seize up. Even if I don’t want to, my feet carry me over to his side and before I can think I’m shaking him awake.

“HEY! WAKE UP!” I shake his heavy ass but he still stays tensed up so I lift my hand and slap the fuck out of him. His bloodshot eyes pop open and his teeth grit, growling hard. “Hey, is everything alright?” I narrow my eyes at him and he turns them to me, unblinking, making me flinch.

I step back, watching him sit up in bed, sweat pooling down his back, panting, muscles bulging and tense.I hate how attractive he looks… I hate how much I would think hewould bemy type…ifI had a type.

When he doesn’t answer I roll my eyes and turn up my nose uncaring and go to lay back down and pretend to sleep since I was dumb enough to wake him up and ruin my chases of gettingaway, but a knot tugs in the pit of my stomach and before I can stop myself I find myself sitting up and asking…

“Who is Mira?”

I didn’t think it was possible for such a taut back to coil up more but he does, and his glowing red eyes speak of an ugly fury I didn’t know an Alpha could possess, considering their cushy lives.

“How du yu know t’at name?! ’re yu workin’ wit’ ’er?!” he growls, accent so deep I can barely understand his words… but in my heart… or well because of this damn mark, it’s like I automatically know what he’s saying no matter how hard it is to understand his words.

“Are you daft?! I asked you because Idon’tknow her, hell I don’t even know if itisa her,” I sneer and I watch him relax a bit, but narrow his eyes at me but hell I narrow them back at him because he makes no move to answer my question. I scoop a clump of mud from the ground, hardening it up, and chuck it at his head, causing him to look at me with confused, blinking eyes. “I believe I asked you a question!”

“An’?” he raises a brow at me.

“And I expect you to answer!”

“Oh?” he smirks.

“Don’tohme. I want to know who the hell this Mira person you’re whimpering about is? Because you might have marked me, but I’ll be damned if you think I’m willing going to let youdrag me into a harem of bitches to breed!” I sneer and he chuckles, placing a hand on his knee, watching me.

“A harem of bitches I breed? Interesting…”

“I don’t see anything interesting about it,” I sneer, “I’ll kill you before I get caught up in some shit like that.” I bare my teeth and I mean it.

“So you’re saying youwon’tkill me if youaren’ttaken to a situation like that…?” he smirks and fire licks at my bare feet.Though it doesn’t burn…instinctually I run from it and straight into his arms like the idiot I know myself not to be.

When I try to push out of his grasp, he holds me steady and forces me to look at him…

“Let go!”

“Why? Wen I’m tryin’ tu answer me Omega’s question…?”

“I don’t care about the answer anymore.” I push away but he holds me tightly and pulls me close, sniffing the tender part of my neck before he runs his tongue over the place my heart is beating, growling.

“Hmm, but what if yer Alphawantstu give yu the answer?” he murmurs, sliding his dick between my pussy lips.

“Why? I don’t care if you have some bitch named Mira waiting for you at home!” I growl with a bit more animosity than I should and he places his hand on my ass, grinding against me, sparking something in me.

“I have no one like that at home, lass. Only yu…” The words knock the fight right out of me.

“W-what do you m-mean by th-that?!” I try to sound defiant but I fail miserably.

“I mean, yu are me only Omega, me only weakness… me only everat’in’. Me Queen…” His pretty lie sends my heart thumping as he grasps my breast, slurping my nipple into his mouth, looking into my eyes seriously, hungrily, lustfully as if the Demon King Legend appears in him.

“An Omega Queen?” I snort, but my stomach dips. “In what universe is that a thing?” I sneer and he pops in my breast right out of his mouth.

“Mine,” he growls, capturing my lips into a kiss. “Mine,” he grasps a handful of my hair, holding me tight and still giving me no room to run. I’m ashamed… after everything I’ve been through, this man… this beast… thisAlpha…I shamefully wilt in his arms, desiring his savage touch.

“And you expect me to believe that?” I moan against his lips as he slides his tongue into my mouth, murmuring.
