I spray myself in de-scenter, relieved to have an extra can because mine is getting low. However, I only eat half of the sandwich, saving the other half for dinner since I can't go back to Tal's. No doubt Tal will tell Leon if I do. How I am going to survive another two weeks of this, I do not know.

Chapter Thirty-Two

THREE DAYS LATER

Leon feeds from me daily. I have only been taking half a suppressant at a time, but I am now officially out of suppressants and de-scenter, having just used the last of it. I am antsy and am starting to feel withdrawal, big time. My heat will come soon if I don't get my hands on some more suppressants. I shake the last remnants from the can Leon gave me the other day as I sneak out of the storage room at the loading docks and to the front of the building. Passing security, the guard grabs my arm, and I jump as he inhales deeply. I rip my arm from his grip and glare at him.

"Girlie, you have a death wish going to work smelling like that," he purrs. He is only a Beta male, and my scent doesn't affect him as much. The fact it affects him at all makes me gulp, knowing I am about to step into an office with four brooding Alphas. I rush to the elevator and jab the button to my floor. When I reach the top, I open up the window and blast the air conditioning before spraying the air freshener all over me in an effort to mask my scent some more.

Yet, the moment they step out of the elevator, I grip my desk to remain in my seat. Their Alpha scent calls to me and their powerful auras make my knees weak. Lust slithers its way through me. I know what estrus does to an Omega, but I didn't realize how powerful it gets—especially having never gone through it before.

Luckily, though, they seem distracted, and the air freshener makes them cough and sputter.

"Fuck, open the damn window," Rhen chokes on the lavender and citrus spray.

It is bad. I sprayed enough that even my eyes burn, yet I can't move. Knowing if I do, I will drop to my knees before them. I wrangle myself under control as they walk off into the conference room, down by the end of the hall.

They spend most of the morning in a Skype meeting, which offers a little reprieve, when I start to feel ridiculously hot and uncomfortable. Sneaking down the hall, I rush to the bathroom, needing to wet my face and cool down. Is the serum and Thane's proximity making this worse? It comes on so fast that I am panting by the time I get a whiff of his lingering scent in the hall.

I freeze in place when the door opens and Thane and Rhen step into the hall. They freeze, and I clutch my stomach.

"You did not come to work during fucking estrus," Thane roars angrily, and I whimper, my knees going out from under me as he smashes me with his aura.

Thane stalks toward me, and Rhen races to catch him by the arm as he reaches for my hair. His growl is thunderous.

"One fucking rule, Omega. One, and you couldn't fucking obey it!" Thane bellows.

Tears prick my eyes, and a yelp escapes me as Rhen slams Thane against the wall when he tries to grab me again.

Raidon and Leon rush out a side office, and I hear them gasp before Raidon shoves Leon into the closest office, holding the door closed as he growls, beating on it.

"You send my mates into a rut, I will fucking kill you," Thane sneers at me.

"Get her fucking suppressants," Thane snaps and shoves Rhen. Rhen moves toward my handbag, and I whimper.

"I'm out!" I cry, and Rhen stops.

"What? Why wouldn't you get more?" Thane demands.

"Because a script is $700. Money that I don't have!" I growl back. Only it turns to a whimper when he hits me with his aura.

"Thane, you're hurting her," Raidon says, his voice almost sounding pained. Yet Thane is livid.

"I'll take her to get some more. Just calm down. Everyone needs to calm down," Rhen says, gripping my arms. Yet the moment he touches me, a whiny moan leaves me, and he lets me go, making me fall against the ground.

"Fuck!" Rhen growls, and I look up to see his eyes bleed black.

Thane storms off, enraged. "Call Leila and tell her to bring up some de-scenter. Then take her to get her the suppressants," Raidon says while I writhe on the floor in agony.

Thane walking away causes pain to ripple through every cell, as if it’s an outright rejection. I try to stifle the whimper that leaves me, but it is pointless. Everyone remains frozen in place until Leila arrives, dousing me in so much de-scenter it burns my hypersensitive skin, and I choke on the fumes. Yet the tension lessens in Raidon and Rhen when my scent is muted. Leon, however, is still smashing on the door Raidon is barricading, wanting to be let out.

Rhen reaches down, gripping my arm tightly and yanking me to my feet. He shoves me toward the elevator and I stagger, barely catching myself with a hand on the wall. He jabs the button on the elevator while I try to breathe through the pain coursing through me. When the doors open, he shoves me inside and I move to the back of the elevator. His body is tense, and he growls as he tries to remain as far away from me as the small space will allow.

"There is a pharmacy two minutes away. Have you got a script?"

I shake my head. Usually, I have others get the scripts for me. Rhen growls, but I can't exactly tell him my ID is fake, now, can I?
