SIGMA

Alek

Something was happening inside him, and he didn’t understand what.

He felt… wrong. Had felt wrong from the moment he’d woken. His senses were heightened, his perception sharper, and his body… it didn’t quite feel like his. As if some presence had taken him over from the inside, changing his reactions, altering his responses.

Walking into this room had made everything worse.

He wanted to protect Bella, and the myriad of others now present made that all the more difficult.

And their scents…

His body hungered in a way he didn’t understand.

He sidled closer to Bella, who smelled far too good. The need to be near her, to protect her, was overwhelming. He felt possessive of her in a way he didn’t understand.

Yet when Zadia turned her gaze on him, when the male at the front of the room looked at him, the insides of his body did tumbling flips, and he wanted to fall to his knees. The male—the Wolf—came closer, his nostrils flaring as he approached.

Beside Alek, Bella quailed and leaned into him with a tiny whimper, as though she thought she could hide from the piercing green gaze of the territory’s most notorious Alpha. Alek clenched his jaw. He did not know if the Wolf knew who he was—knew whose son he was. It was unlikely his identity, his connections to influential leaders back in Zone One, remained unknown… but possible.

Especially since Liana and Kenet were not here. Liana was a far greater prize than him. Perhaps they’d mistaken Bella for her? If they thought they had a valuable hostage, thought she was Liana, he was not going to let them know otherwise. That might be the only safety she had.

“Omega,” the Wolf said, prowling around Bella, leaning in to get a closer look.

Bella shuddered against Alek’s side, and his hands jerked against the restraints. He wanted to put his arm around her, to console her, to protect her from the other male’s gaze.

Yet when the Wolf looked up to meet Alek’s eyes over Bella’s head, he found he could not hold the male’s gaze for more than a moment or two. He trembled with the effort before he dropped his head, panting. The power emanating from the Alpha was more than intimidating. It was a visceral thing that seared him from the inside out.

“And what are you?” the Wolf mused as he circled around Bella’s and Alek’s backs. Alek immediately stiffened, the hairs along the back of his neck rising at the threat.

“Sigma,” said the female who brought them in, the one called Zadia.

“Fascinating. I thought Sigmas were a myth.” The Wolf chuckled, coming around to Alek’s front again.

Undeterred by his earlier failure, Alek managed to glare at the male for three whole seconds before he dropped his eyes again, panting as a shudder went through him.

What is wrong with me?

Beside him, Bella moaned and slumped against him. A sweet, hot scent filled his nostrils, and he nearly groaned aloud in reaction. Horrifically, his cock responded, lengthening and thickening from the arousing perfume.

“What was that?” He spoke as Bella moaned again, dropping to her knees and bending over with her hands pressed to her stomach. “Bella, what’s wrong?” He dropped down, trying to hold her as best he could with his own hands restrained behind him.

“She’s going into heat.” The Wolf circled around them again. “This is what happens when an Omega’s true nature is suppressed for a long period of time. As soon as they’re allowed to, their natural instincts rise… and with more effect than if they’d never been suppressed.”

Bella moaned again, sounding as though she was in agony, which her next words confirmed.

“It hurts.” She sobbed, shuddering and bending over again. Even through the sweet scent that made his dick throb, he could detect the sharp, bitter, acrid scent of her pain.

“Help her!”

“Well, you see, my new little toy, there’s only one way to help an Omega in heat. She has to be fucked and knotted by an Alpha… though a Sigma will do in a pinch.” The Wolf’s green eyes flared with amusement as the implications of what he was saying struck Alek. “What do you think, Toy? Should an Alpha help her through her heat? Or a Sigma?”

Shouts from around the room accompanied his statement, most of them cheering for an Alpha, though there were several calls in support of a Sigma.

The Wolf or Alek.

One of them had to fuck Bella.

“I… I…” His mind whirled chaotically. On his knees, he glanced frantically at Bella beside him. She looked up at him, tears streaming down her face, her expression contorted in agony.

“Alek… Alek, please… it hurts so much…”

It didn’t matter that she was clearly in pain. Just the scent of her made his cock feel as if it was swelling, his own need so strong that it nearly cramped his muscles.

“I’ll do it,” he said thickly, feeling like that strange presence had taken over his body and his voice. “I’ll do it.”

“Good. Release them and bring the bedding.”

Bella

Cramps rippled through Bella’s stomach, cramps and a deep, aching need that made her want to scream from the lack. She could barely focus on what was happening around her, though she knew it wasn’t good. Fear pulsed through her, alongside the growing arousal that was like nothing she’d ever felt before.

Her breasts and pussy felt swollen and achy, her insides clenching and cramping from the force of the muscle spasms. Alek smelled so good. So did the Alpha circling around them. She wanted them both.

No.

But no matter how she denied it, her body craved their touch. Either of them. Both of them.

“Please,” she whispered again and shivered as the ropes dropped away from her wrists. Freed, she launched herself at Alek, who barely managed to catch her, and rubbed her body against him with a desperation she didn’t understand. She was no longer in control of herself.

Alek made a noise, then she heard fabric tearing…

She had done that. She was literally ripping his clothes off of him in a bid to get to him… no. They were ripping their clothes off each other. It didn’t matter that they had met through their significant others. It didn’t matter that she didn’t really know him. She could scent his arousal, scent his need, and it matched her own. She ached to feel him against her, inside of her.

Hard flesh rubbed against hers, then she was falling backward, landing with a jolt on soft fabric and padding.

The bedding.

“That’s it, Toy. My Pet needs you. She needs you to fuck her. Don’t you, Pet?” The rumble of a growl through the Wolf’s chest sent another bolt of cramping pain through her insides. She moaned, shuddering, as a gush of fluid slicked her thighs, soaking into the sheets beneath her.

“Please, Alek!”

His arms were braced on either side of her, keeping his upper body’s weight off her, while the thick length of his cock rubbed between the length of her pussy lips, coating the underside with her hot cream. Groaning, he closed his eyes and shuddered before pulling his hips back. Eagerly, she lifted hers, grabbing onto his shoulders, nails digging in as he found her entrance and thrust in, splitting her open.

She didn’t know if he was bigger than Kenet had been or if he just felt that way because her body was so sensitized, so needy. Every muscle in her body clamped down around the engorged shaft, squeezing him so tightly, he groaned, shuddering as he ground his hard groin against her sensitive pussy and clit. Bella keened at the sensation, the ripple of pleasure that went through her, the cramps that edged the ecstasy with a bite of pain.

“Fuck her, Toy. Knot her. She needs to feel it… and so do you, don’t you?”

Turning her head to look at the big male beside them, his deep voice cutting through the cheers from around the room as Alek mounted her, Bella shivered under his hard jade stare. He was looking at the two of them like they were a feast, and he hadn’t eaten in weeks. She whimpered as she stared back at him, watching his nostrils flare, and it was all she could do not to beg him to touch her.

Alek shook his head and began to thrust. She moaned, still held in the Wolf’s green-eyed gaze, unable to look away as Alek began to fuck her in earnest. Bella was under the body of one male, caught in the web of another one, who was directing both of them. Heat and need assaulted her senses, pleasure tingling through her, even as her stomach cramped. The hot, hard thrusts felt so good, but they weren’t quite what she needed. Not yet.

Her body demanded more.

The Wolf growled again, and she moaned, arching beneath Alek, finally closing her eyes against the male’s piercing gaze. Her focus centered on one thing—the cock driving into her and its slowly thickening base.
