Even in my misery, my pulse ticked up. Excited? Afraid? I should be afraid, shouldn’t I?
The pain made my eyesight hazy, but I could make out the terrifying outline of a tall, muscular man standing in the cave entrance. Before I could react, another spasm wracked my body.
“Let me help you,” said the man. Although his voice was deep, he spoke softly, but I didn’t trust him. He was an alpha. I knew they weren’t to be trusted. In terror, I scrambled back as close to the wall as I could press myself, but it was pointless, there was no way I could get away from him. Goddess, I was so hot, and I hurt…
“Why aren’t you with your pack? You need an alpha to help you through this.”
No!I screamed silently as I started to cry. He was going to hurt me. I’d run away and put myself though this for nothing. It was…
There was a growl and I found myself sitting in the alpha’s lap, his arms tightly around me. His hard member pressed up against me. I froze, hyperventilating, my fear overpowering. He was going to… he was going to… what? Something was muddling my brain. I thought I was supposed to be afraid of him, but… but… I couldn’t quite remember what I’d been so worried about. I leaned against his chest, nose pressed to his skin, inhaling more of his alpha scent and my muscles relaxing as an overwhelming feeling of reassurance washed over me. I had the strangest sensation that everything was going to be all right.
Until another spasm hit me ripping my breath away.
“It’s okay,” rumbled the deep voice. His voice sounded raspy, as if he were barely controlling it. “I can help you – if you let me.”
That surprised me. I looked at him, able to see him better from this close. He was… handsome in a youthful kind of way, with amop of black, curly hair, and brilliant blue eyes, eyes that were filled with lust, but there was kindness there too.
“Only if you want me to,” he clarified. “But even if you don’t, I won’t leave you until it’s over and I know you’re okay.”
I had a choice? This alpha was giving me a choice? Even with the lust I could see blazing in his eyes, he was giving me the choice. Our Alpha and his mates would never have offered a choice.Maybehe was different.MaybeI could trust him. Goddess knew, I needed help right now. I couldn’t help myself - I burst into tears again.
“Will you let me help you?”
He was an alpha. He’d know what to do.
I was desperate. My head bobbed up and down.
He made me look at him. “I need you to actually say it,” he told me. “I need clear consent.”
I couldn’t have been more astonished, and for the briefest of moments I forgot about the pain and the fear. I’d never seen an alpha show an omega this much respect. Zarbius, our pack Alpha, and his buddies treated us like objects. And Zarbius’ treatment of his mate had been no better. That poor omega was gone now, we were pretty sure Zarbius had killed him. Something told me I should risk this.
“Yes.” I whispered eventually.
“Do you understand what I have to do?”
I did. But sitting here so close to him, with his arm wrapped around me, I wasn’t afraid. Well, not too afraid. I didn’t think he’d deliberately hurt me. He seemed… kind, for an alpha. Or maybe it was just his pheromones making me feel safe.
“Yes,” I confirmed, setting my jaw resolutely. I knew in theory what I was agreeing to, and I wasn’t too sure about this, but Goddess, biology insisted I needed himnow.I flung myself to the ground and presented to him, but to my intense surprise he pulled me back to him, pressing a kiss to my lips. I… I’d never been kissed before. I didn’t know what to make of it at first, and it distracted me from my pain for a moment. He licked, and almost unconsciously, I let his tongue slip inside my mouth. It was warm and probing, and he tasted delicious, earthy and masculine and powerful. A small shiver of anticipation ran down my spine. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.
The kiss distracted me but the spasms were getting worse and I whimpered into the kiss. My head was hot and foggy and I felt like it was going to explode. Through the haze, I felt myself gently lowered to the ground onto my hands and knees. A strong arm supported me around my chest.
“Hurry!” I gasped hoarsely. I would never have dared speak to an alpha like that under normal circumstances, but the hormones were flooding me and I couldn’t stop myself. I also couldn’t prevent what I did next. I backed myself up toward him. I felt his hard cock press against my slick-wet hole, but I couldn’t wait for him to move. I shamelessly thrust myself back onto it with a howl. Fuck, his cock was enormous! I felt the stretch as he breached me. I panted heavily as my body adjusted to the intrusion. He began thrusting, but he was too gentle. I was too desperate. My heat demanded more.
“Harder! More!” I insisted.
If I hadn’t been so frantic, I would have been horrified with my audacity. And afraid I’d be punished for it. But lust had taken over and I didn’t care about anything except having thathard alpha cock slamming into me, fucking me into the ground. Goddess, it was exactly what Ineeded.
“Fuck me harder,” I cried.
The unknown alpha strengthened his efforts, repeatedly hammering into my dripping hole. Warm sweat dripped from him and slid down my neck. I could hear his grunts above my own groans. Then he slid a hand beneath me and stroked me once and I came, spurts of ropey cum shooting everywhere, as I sobbed in relief.
He slammed into me a couple more times and then stiffened, groaning as I felt his warmth splash inside me.
Although I was sure he’d come, he seemed to be getting bigger inside me, pushing into the sensitive sides of my tunnel, and then, oh my… the sensation was excruciating… no – it was amazing! The best feeling I’d ever had. But I was so, so sensitive. I whimpered.
“Hush,” said the alpha, soothingly, though he was gasping for breath. “Don’t struggle. I’ve knotted you. We’ll stay like this until it goes down.”
Holding me to his chest, he gently lowered us to the cave floor. He rolled onto his back so I wasn’t lying on the sodden mat –even though he was!- and we lay there cuddling, with his arm around me. I felt good, amazing even. I didn’t even mind being so intimately tied to this strange alpha. His knot pressing into all the right places inside me felt exquisite and entirely right. I wriggled experimentally… mmm.
