The bus arrived just as I got to the stop. I thanked whatever god there was and climbed the steps. I moved to the back of the bus, trying to breathe deeply. Thankfully, there were no alphas on the bus. I counted down the minutes as the bus made its way through the streets. I clung to my purse, rocking back and forth trying to ease the cramps building.
I bit my lip as a wave of arousal hit me over and over again. My panties were soaked with my slick by the time my stop came. I hadn’t realized how much time had passed as I moved to my room as quickly as I could without running. I’d just opened the door when someone behind me pushed me gently into the room.
Squeaking, I turned around holding up my purse to hit the person when I froze. It was Julian and the alphas. Their scents bombarded me. The smell of smoky woods, crisp sea air, and fresh cut grass assaulted my senses. I backed up into the room, the back of my knees hitting the bed, and I fell backward.
I couldn’t draw enough oxygen into my lungs as I started to hyperventilate. The panic attack hit me out of nowhere and drew me down into its clutches. This couldn’t be happening. Not now. I’d just started over. My new job was going to be amazing and now I would have to run because I’d gone into heat.
Focus. Now wasn’t the time to panic. Controlled breathing. That’s what I was supposed to do, right? In for four seconds, hold, then release for four seconds. Although it was not helping.
“Shh. Alena, we’re not here to hurt you.” Julian held up his hands. “We just want to help. Do you have an emergency suppressant?” His kindness shot another zing of arousal through me.
The alpha with black hair and tattoos moaned softly. Oh gods, he was so manly and gorgeous it made me want to cry.
I shook my head. “No! My heat isn’t due for weeks.” I sobbed. I needed relief, I felt like I was burning from the inside out. If I didn’t get some sort of ease from the ache, I might die. And I wasn’t even being overdramatic.
I’d never experienced a heat as powerful as this before. Was it because ofthem?
Oh, who was I kidding? Of course it was because of them.
The man with copper hair stepped forward. “I’m Simon, love, let us help you. We won’t knot you, but there are other ways to help ease the heat. Just until we can get you something to help.” His voice was soft and soothing. He was the one who smelled like fresh sea air.
“We just want you to be alright.” He unbuttoned his jacket slowly. “Let us take care of you, love.” His sexy accent made the slick run faster. I had always been a sucker for a guy with an accent.
The one with brown hair, who smelled like freshly cut grass and was the tallest one of them, stepped forward. “I’m Elias. I guarantee that we won’t harm you, little one.” He paused, his gaze going back toward Julian. “Go get a dose of emergency suppressants. You’re the only one that’s actually going to be able to leave.”
His low, rumbling voice made another wave of arousal cramp my lower belly and I curled into a ball with a cry of pain.
“Shit,” the gruff, tattooed one snarled. “Now, Julian.” He took a step closer to me as Julian darted out the door with a nod. “Alena.” His use of my name made tears stream down my face. They were all so kind. I didn't deserve their kindness.
No. I wanted their cocks. Their knots.
No! I had to keep my mind off them naked.
“I’m Xavier. We would never hurt you. Let us just ease the ache until Julian can come back, otherwise shit’s gonna get real complicated.”
Elias bit out a curse and ran his hand through his hair. “We have to get her scent under control or every alpha in a ten-mile radius will fight us.”
Simon placed a knee down on the edge of the bed, his rich emerald gaze never lifting from mine. “We need your permission, Alena. No knotting. No penetration. Just easing you. This decision has to be yours. We can stand guard and fight anyone that comes here, or we can make you come with our mouths. The choice is completely yours.”
His words penetrated the haze of arousal and I couldn’t do anything but blink up at him. He was offering me a choice? They all were?
I’d never been around alphas that gave their omegas a choice. It was a foreign concept to me. In Society, omegas were submissive to all of their alpha’s demands. You didn’t question it. And they certainly never gave you any semblance of choice.
Simon must have seen the confusion lingering on my face. “This isn’t Society, love. No one will force you and we’ll kill anyone who would force their will on an omega.”
Xavier stepped forward, a growl echoing in his massive chest. “I have a penchant for knives, and their favorite target is rapists and abusers.”
The heat curled in my belly, and a fresh gush of slick distracted me from all other thoughts. Although Xavier was scary as fuck, his rumbled growls and dark eyes made me feel safe.
Unlike Dylan.
I bit back a scream, a habit from my past I couldn’t quite break. If I made any sounds louder than a whimper, he would have gagged me.
“Hey,” Elias cooed as he sat down on the bed. “Don’t retreat into your past. Stay here with us. I know you don’t know us, but let your instincts guide you. Do they tell you we’ll harm you?”
I shook my head, thrashing back and forth on the pillow. “Please help me.” My hair came undone from its bun.
Their responding growls made me whimper.
