Noah’s POV
"Goddess" I stretch my arms above my head and arch my back with a yawn.
The sound of my bones cracking makes me wince.
I feel like I slept for days and a gentle truck ran me over. The last thing I remember was going into heat in the middle of the night while in the middle of my enemy’s bed.
Oh my goddess!
I sit up straight and blink twice to wake myself up properly.
I went into heat in my enemy’s city and on my enemy’s bed!
My hand slides over my naked chest, over my stomach, and down to my thighs. I feel taken care of and the post-heat aches in my body are coming from certain spots and angles.
Wait...none of my heats aftermath has ever felt this good...what happened?
I move to my knees, spread them apart, and look between my legs.
"Oh my..." I put my hand over my mouth.
My lower body is covered with slick, cum and everything else...what I didn’t expect however is the fresh stream of cum that slides out of my hole.
My virginity was taken during the heat.
And like Deja Vu, before I’m permitted to spiral into a well-deserved crash out, the light noise of paper brushing against paper stops me.
Elias Deus sitting across me with a book on his lap.
’The monster that haunts the couch in front of the queen-size bed is back’ my omega purrs.
Purrs?
Something in my chest loosens at the sight of him. A part of me eases like he’s welcomed, and I shove that ’something’ down, wrapping the blanket under my body around me.
He’s not welcomed here even if this is his room. He’s a monster that is making my life hell.
"You!" I hiss accusingly, and like always, he doesn’t lift his head when he addresses me.
"I fucked you..." he says plainly.
I clench my teeth with anger, ready to throw all the vile words I learned from Zane at him.
"You jerk!" is all I can spit out.
"...and you wanted it" he completes his sentence.
"That’s not true!" I argue even though memories are starting to trickle in and I can hear my own breathy whimpers in my head.
"I fucked you, and you wanted it" he repeats himself.
"That wasn’t me! That was my traitorous omega. He was just responding to biology" I hiss at him, gripping the blanket even harder.
’We vomited on the first alpha who claimed to want to help my heat’ my omega says quietly and my cheeks grow red.
That doesn’t explain why I would ask for something like that from an enemy. I’m a representative of the goddess’s elegance and pride...
"You didn’t just ask, angel. You begged for it" Elias says as if he can hear my inner monologue.
The metal-cold alpha finally lifts his eyes to look at me and my breathing catches in my throat.
The rage building inside of me stops and my fingers twitch around the blanket I’m clutching on to for dear life.
Elias’s dark brown eyes slowly trace my body, I am cocooned in the heavy blanket, but I feel more naked than I have ever felt before.
He puts down his book. He keeps his fingers in the middle like a bookmarker while looking at me with those eyes.
His eyes don’t have any alpha lust in them, instead they feel like the title he’s called by; Death. And what can I do when death is looking at me like he owns me?
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
I shift my weight to my legs, and the blanket accidentally slips off my shoulder, sliding down to show my neck and the top of my chest.
Elias Deus, my captor took my virginity and I wanted it...begged for it.
"I hope you’re satisfied and had your fill of the Winslow omega, you monster" I snarl at him.
"Satisfied? Hardly. Had my fill? No, angel. I didn’t" he says flatly, lifting the book slightly in his lap.
"You like your nipples being played with" he says and my eyes widen, "your thighs are sensitive, and you came just from the smell of me" he says and drops his gaze to the book with him.
The alpha quietly flips the page of his book as if he didn’t just debase me.
He can do what he wants to me and I’ll take it on behalf of Winslow, but I will not let him debase me.
Never.
"How dare you?" I ask, getting out of the bed with the blanket still around me.
"How dare I?" he asks as if the question is too foreign for his pompous mind.
"How dare you?!" I yell in his face and he snaps the book shut again.
"I took care of you through three days of heat, Noah. Three days of my time" he states with that same dull voice.
Three days?
"Don’t you remember?" he asks, sounding too controlled for a man who’s pulling this kind of reaction out of me.
If I really spent three days with this man, I should be dead. Everyone knows how the Deus family would take omegas, use them, and kill them on the third day.
He’s lying.
"Noah" he calls my name, and my eyes snap to his face again.
"Don’t you remember?" he asks again with more force and I step back.
He’s not lying. I’m starting to remember...
And I’m not just remembering in bits, I’m remembering all the complete details. I can remember being fed some sweets, being washed in a bathtub of warm water, and being offered pain relief.
"Give me an answer Noah or I will make you remember. Painfully" he growls as he gets out of his seat and I blink rapidly.
I can suddenly remember Elias’s face.
The way he looked emotionless, while his hand were gentle on me. Those gentle hands only turned rough when I started to cry or slip into my head.
"I remember" I say in a small voice.
"You remember everything?" he asks and I nod, ashamed of how heated my skin is getting.
I’m starting to remember my desperate moans as I beg for more. The wet slap of his skin against my skin. And the otherworldly throb of his knot inside me.
Goddess...
"Then that means you remember the cherry blossoms" he states, moving closer to me and I frown in confusion.
"What cherry blossoms?" I ask, what does cherry blossoms have to do with humiliating me during my heat?
Elias doesn’t answer that question, he just curses under his breath and runs his fingers through his dark hair in frustration.
This is the first hint of emotion I’ve seen on him this morning
"I’ll make you remember" he says before stepping away from me.
"Get dressed in my clothes, it’s time to meet your father-in-law" he throws at me before heading for the door.
"What father-in-law?" I ask.
"Darius Deus" he says simply and leaves me all alone in the room.
Darius Deus? Darius Deus the mad man?
