It was such a satisfying experience being with him, that when she began to sleep more, she thought nothing of it. The scent of them soothed her, even when things began to feel uncomfortable, like the constant wetness between her legs. The soreness that never seemed to go away.
She slept more, even though the Alpha did not let up on his punishing attentions on her. Sometimes she woke to him slapping her thighs apart so he could sink in. She always widened her legs to accommodate him, her body jolting with his slams as she sighed in exhaustion, yawns gripping her.
But as she became sleepier, the urge to fuck him faded, even though he still wanted her in his arms, to knot and kiss.
Once when she was dozing on his bicep, his arms holding her while his knot stretched her wide, he tapped her cheek, serious eyes roaming her face. The Omega blinked awake, suddenly guilty that she wasn't behaving for her Alpha. She straightened, alert to what he might need, and it was only when his eyes dropped to her mouth, that she realized what he was missing. Threading her arms around his neck, she pulled him to her and kissed him.
He took over almost instantly, locking his mouth with hers, sucking her tongue and grazing the inside of her mouth. He bit down her chin then to her neck, where he breathed in her scent and released a rumble that lasted long enough to turn into a groan.
But the Omega was already falling back asleep, squeezing down on his knot to make sure she was still plugged full of him, and not too bothered by his obsession for her mouth.
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
When her consciousness ebbed back, every muscle in Naya’s body was screaming.
She moaned, wincing at the pain that scored across her most intimate muscles. Disoriented, she rolled onto her back, but that only made things worse so she opened her eyes and tried to take in her surroundings.
Her body ached as though she had just come out of her Haze, but the pain between her legs was bad. A raw soreness clawed its way right up inside her, stinging no matter how small a movement she made.
She rolled onto her side groaning and panting a little, trying to relieve the ache, but all at once several things became clear. This wasn't her own bed. The blankets around her with thinner and colorful with reds and yellows and gold patterning across the duvet, and the scent around her was deeper, musky, and addictive.
She stilled trying to force her brain to work, to remind her where she was.
It took a few long moments, but finally…
Akoro.
Horrified, she sat up quickly, but her body wailed. Whimpering, she looked around.
The bedroom she was in wasn’t like they one they'd given her, and it wasn’t like the one Akoro had taken her to have her Haze in. This one was huge and grand. The ceiling was arched, patterned with intricate decoration that matched the bed sheets.
Pillars and lattice windows were common features of his palace, but here they made the room feel huge and formal. Chairs and pillows made it feel homely, strewn around the room and to the far left, a small pool.
Thankfully, no one else was in the room with her.
Naya dropped her head into her hands, horrified at the situation she was in. Akoro had taken advantage of her heat, used her for his pleasure, even though she begged him not to. Based on the feel of her body, he had thoroughly used her.
She grit her teeth, exhaling harshly as her anger rose. She'd been stupid to think she would escape the forced sex that most captive Omegas have had to endure. Nothing made her special in that regard. She’d simply gone into the most attractive state that an Omega could, and he had taken her for himself. What had he said? He’d made the healer stop protecting her so he could “indulge” himself. Fuck, she hated him!
He’d done this because she’d lied about Omegas going into their heats for their true mates. He’d known what she was doing, which meant he knew that she’d known all along. And instead of letting her be, he decided to continue to prove how unhinged and unsuitable he was as her mate.
Slowly, she turned and moved her legs to the edge of the bed, standing haltingly even though her body continued to scream at her. It could take up to three hours for the memories of her Haze to return. Until then she wouldn't know exactly what had happened—how bad it was, but she stunk of him, of them, so badly. It was embarrassing.
Aching, she walked over to the pool. Steam curled off the surface of the water. She crouched and dipped her hand in, pleased to find that it was warm and she entered gently, allowing the hot water to envelop her, inch by inch until she was submerged up to her neck.
She looked around for soap and found it on one side of the bath. She scrubbed everywhere she could without harming herself. Between her legs stung like crazy, and it would probably be sore for a while.
She wasn't sure how long she'd been in her heat. Usually it lasted between a week and a week and a half but nothing was normal when Omega blocks have been ripped away suddenly, and she'd been with an Alpha this time.
After she'd rinsed off, she got out of the bath and found a towel to dry herself with. None of her clothes were in this room, so when she found a dark robe, she put it on and sat on the bed.
This had to be Akoro's bedroom. She couldn't imagine anyone else but him living in this space. It was over-the-top luxury that felt like it would suit him. At the back wall was another weapons stand, similar to the one of the rooftop grounds. If this was his room, what was she doing in it? She didn’t want to be here when he got back.
Tentatively, she opened the door.
Eight guards stood outside. They didn't say anything to her, but they also didn't stop her from stepping out of the room.
