I get it. I am too.
"I see," he murmurs, his hands flexing at his sides. "Well, Kendra Morrison, you're in luck. I happen to have a spare room in the back. You can stay there until your heat passes."
Relief floods through me, and I feel myself sag against the wall. "Thank you," I whisper. "Thank you so much."
"Don't thank me yet," he says, his voice low and dangerous. "You're not gonna like this part."
I swallow hard. "What do you mean?"
But before I can get another word out, he grabs me and picks me up, flinging me over his shoulder. I strides through a curtain in the back, and I beat on his back with my fists as I hear him kick a door open. The next thing I know, he's flinging me into the room and slamming the door, then I hear a lock click into place.
I grab the door handle and try to open it, but it's locked shut--which is confusing, because there's a lock onthis sidetoo. I hear the alpha lean against the wall, his breath coming in harsh gasps as he wrenches out a command.
"Lock it from that side, too," he growls. "Before I come in there and spread your legs, little omega."
My eyes widen and I lock the door, then take a few steps back so I don't obey after all. I can still hear him on the other side of the door, I cansmellhow turned on he is.
I want him.
I want him really fucking bad, but this is for the best.
"We keep these doors locked except when I bring you food," he says. "When your heat's over...then we'll figure out what to do with you."
"I'm not your prisoner, right?" I shout.
He sighs.
"No," he says. "I just...fuck, I had to get you away from me. I don't have any suppressants for you, and I haven't had an omega in...well, in a long fucking time. Just relax and let's give ourselves some time to calm down."
I don't hear him move. I don't hear a thing, in fact, the tattoo parlor going silent again.
"Are you still there?" I ask, my voice soft.
He takes a second to respond. But then he says, his voice rough, "Yes."
"I just wanted to say thank you," I tell him. "What's your name?"
"Zane," he says. "And seriously...don't thank me yet. Let's get through your heat first...and we'll see if my honor holds."

It'snoteverydaythat an omega in heat stumbles into my shop begging for shelter.
Especially when that omega is an infamous fugitive.
I remember seeing the case a couple years ago, the pretty young blonde's face splashed all over the news. She'd killed her dad in a bid for escape, and she'd vanished along with two other ACB kids: Olivia Cruz and Jade Winslow. The three of them were thought to have fled Solstice Bay completely, joining up with the Enclave or running all the way to Pacific City.
But then Olivia Cruz re-emerged and killedherfather...and Jade ended up breaking into her dad's house and stealing a fuckton of ACB secrets that the Enclave then splashed across everyone's news feed.
It was only a matter of time before Kendra Morrison showed up, but I didn't know she was going to the auction block--and Idefinitelydidn't know she was going to show up here, of all places.
I used to work with the Enclave a long time ago, before my best friend and his sister got grabbed by the ACB while we were on a mission. She'd been an omega too...and I saw the things that happened to her once she was taken into custody, and the way they slaughtered my friend.
It was at that point that I decided it was all too dangerous, and I gave up my revolutionary ways.
But what the hell am I supposed to do when the revolution falls in my lap?
