Bram

"Put me down," I struggle to get out of his arms as we are out of everyone's eyes, "l can walk on my own."

"I know you can, l'm just happy to help you," He is not phased off by the way I'm squirming in his arms, he continues walking slowly with no intention to let me down.

I don't give up, I begin to hit his chest, "Put me down! I don't need your help! Fucking put me down right now."

"Fine," He stops on his feet, putting me in a position l could stand comfortably but my legs couldn't find stability on the ground causing me to fall backwards. Alpha Knight immediately holds, wrapping his hands around my torso. He doesn't stop there, he puts his hand under my shirt, his fingers walking up in slow motions and let them go back down. This causes goosebumps on my skin, leaving an enticing tingling feeling.

It feels so good.

"Stop! Please, stop please," l begged in a low voice, unable to recognise my own self.

"I will, if you let me help you," He whispered in my ear, leaving my body to vibrate in bad rhythms, "You are so beautiful and innocent. The world doesn't deserve you and I guess you are the responsibility I have been dreaming of. Please, would you allow me to make you mine forever?"

Those words had goosebumps running all over my skin.

"Get off me you fucking psycho," I push him away, falling on my butts, "Stay away from me! I will go with the guards from here, thank you for your good

intentions," I turned around to the guards, "Help me up!" I yelled at them as they seemed to me that they didn't know their jobs.

At least they should be able to protect me from whatever this man has in mind against me. Instead they are just standing there gawking at me like I'm some ancient opera singer. I put my hands around their necks as they finally helped me to my feet.

I'm about to take a step when I almost passed out when the next wave of ecstatic feeling attacks me, the feeling was more than drugs. At the same time, Alpha whispers into my ear again, snaking his hands around my waist. He releases his pheromones frightening the guards who immediately left me alone, taking their steps backwards

I couldn't blame them. He is an Alpha after all and these Gammas are just weaklings before him.

"Why are you in a hurry to leave me?" He swipes his tongue on the nape of my neck, "I told you l wanted to tell you a story but you seem to lack interest in me or my story," He licks my skin all the way up to my ear, "Why is that, Omega Bram?" He let his fangs out, teasing to pierce into my skin.

"Stop!" A sudden realization hits me. What if he marks me? I push myself forward, frustrated by why all this is suddenly happening to me,"Why are you doing that to me? What if you mark me? That is not something that is done causally," I'm so fucking annoyed!

"Um, I actually do have plans to mark you but not without your consent."

My jaw dropped astonishingly. But that didn't seem to be the problem, the problem is that I didn't care about those words that were trashing out from his mouth... I was enjoying listening to his voice! I was enjoying the little things he was doing to me and what he was telling me. I was enjoying this and that is not good news. l wanted those fangs to rail its hotness on my skin and I wanted his fingers to continue touching my body again.

Oh bram, snap out of this! What am I thinking? For the first time in my life, my body wasn't answering to me, "Get me out of here!" l looked up with pity to one of the guards beside me, "Quit watching the show and take me to my room."

"Yes, Omega," They bowed to me, pleading at Alpha Knight, "Alpha, please we will take it from here. Omega Bram needs to rest."

Alpha Knight surprisingly raised his hands up in the air, tilting his head to the side as he looked at me with mirthfulness in his eyes, "I don't bite, Omega. l'm the only one who can help you but since you don't want it, I will go so I hope so you think about me tonight."

I could still hear him but I pretend not to. I let out a deep breath when I saw the door to my room.

"Omega, there is a family dinner at 6pm and Alpha Gladys will be leaving tomorrow too."

I nodded to the words of the guard with no interest, there was no reason for me to be there. The only reason will probably be to make up for the family number. All l wanted to do right now was serve pleasure to my soul. l curled myself up in my faded blue fluffy blankets, having intense urges to nest. I picked up one of those rolled pillows in between my thighs.

What is wrong with me?

I was trying to relive every moment before this insane feeling started. I was just pondering on my lonely thoughts.

What went wrong?

I shut my eyes unbuttoning my shirt at a very slow pace when slowly the last glass of drink came to my mind. It all started after that drink? No, not very possible!

Is it my wolf? What is today? Why does my body react this way? l feel so boneless all l want right now is to be ministered on and fucked roughly.

My heart is beating in my throat. I felt my waistline move monotonously, whining back and forth on the rolled pillow. Whatever is wrong with me will be gone when l wake up in the morning.

Maybe l'm hallucinating or having a fever dream.

I couldn't control myself, I kept squeezing the bulge in my tight leather pants. The pleasure was making my heart flutter, I couldn't fend off the despicable feeling that keeps possessing my mind. I didn't want to think about Alpha Knight because he asked me to but despite that... By any chance is he okay in the head? Why does he keep doing all of that stuff to me?

What does he mean by he has plans to mark me but not without my consent? What is that confidence? I know one thing for sure that he is not my fated mate. I don't feel any mate connection between us. But why is he all over me?

No one has ever stood up for me or said anything in my favour. But he did... He overruled my father and picked me up himself. His dark and icy eyes are so delectable and makes me cower each time.

What does he mean by he knows what is wrong with me?

Arrgh

I turned my body around, tucking my face deeper into the pillow as l grunted, making vague noises in a weird pitch. The thrill of patterns of my trousers drilled convulsively in between my ass as my right hand went on to grab the right side of my cheeks, giving my balls more space to grind harder on the rolled pillow.

Fuck!

I felt my face flush red as I began to mutter nonsensically. If I go at this rate l'm going to cum and I did. A raging feeling of ecstasy took over me as my dick presses on the rolled pillow even more. Soon, I'm sighing in relief, feeling the wetness of my cum inside my trouser.

But now it was as if the feeling went on even stronger. A fresh wave dries my throat as I begin to hump on the pillow again. I could feel another density of thrill and excitement spreading through and sparking my whole nerves. My body needed... my body wanted more. I continued to thrust my hips into the pillow until I heard a knock on my door.

"Omega, your father calls for you," The guard announced at the door. I couldn't utter a word, I couldn't even keep my lips closed. The guard kept on knocking on the door till he got tired and left, making me realise that it was morning already.

l haven't let go of the pillow for the rest of the night. The front of my trousers was like a dam full to it brim. I even drape the flap and it smooshes like a smooth soaked foam. Gosh, l'm so messy. l felt so shambled with no energy in me. Masturbating throughout the night felt like my blood was being sucked dry.

At least l'm no longer feeling all heated up which means I was right about how everything will be okay in the morning. I lifted my head to look at the wooden stopwatch beside my bed, it was 1:15pm. It was already noon. Oh no! I rushed out of the bed, almost falling to the ground as my body was freezing.

I felt so cold but I knew I needed to heed to my father's call. What does he even want me to see me for? Is he going to rant at me about how l ruined Gladys wedding night party? It wasn't exactly my fault, l don't know the feelings that were in control of me. l didn't mean to do any of that, l will just take more time to rest since he is going to rant at me.

So I don't bother going.

I slump down to the floor, pushing my legs up to my stomach as my back rests on the bed. Come to think of it, has Alpha Knight found his mate yet? Is he going rogue or he is just being cheesy and manipulative? The Moon Goddess knows l don't want him around me. The lust in his eyes is so unpleasant to bear.

Bram

All the guests might have returned back to their various destinations. l really don't want to see the sun today but an intense fright took over my body when l heard another know on the door.

"Omega Bram, are you there? Omega?"

"What is it?" I managed to hit a high pitch.

"The Alpha asks for your presence immediately!"

"Got it, l will be there soon."

I could hear whosoever was walking away. I push myself up going to wash off before throwing on a blue shirt with dark jeans and a high knee boot. I was so sure that I looked like the haunted spirit that hangs around at our border at midnight as I headed to the Alpha's quarters.

Everyone had left, except my sister and her husband's people. And there was Alpha Kenneth and my father having a discussion. At the other corner, the guards were loading up Gladys's wedding present in a horse carriage and some in the beetle convertible car model.

l kept squinting my eyes in pain, tired and exhausted. I combed my fingers through my hair in confusion, seeing as everything is normal as always. Making me wonder why l was needed here, it feels so strange.

"Bram come take a seat," My father finally noticed me, pointing at the empty seat beside him.

"How are you?" Alpha Kenneth asked.

"I'm fine, Alpha," I replied to Alpha Knight's father, gazing at the ground at the sudden attention from the both of them.

"Gladys, tell the kitchen to start the dinner preparations."

"Yes, father."

"Everyone leaves us," My father announces, which had me looking around nervously. I was wondering why they both needed to talk to me in private. And in a moment everyone left the room one by one and it went eerily silent for the first time alone with my father and the other Alpha staring at me like l committed a crime.

My thoughts started picking up. What if it was about my behaviour last night? What do they want from me or what do l say?

And why are they being so private about it? Goddess, please don't abandon me. I have no...

"Bram?" Alpha Kenneth called out, making me flinch from his sonorous tone.

"Yes, Alpha."

"You look like you are seeing a ghost, have you been resting well lately?" He asked sincerely.

I quickly retorted back, "I'm very okay, Alpha. Thank you for asking."

"Bram, be careful next time and don't drink too much. Putting on a show last night wasn't a nice scene to witness. Get yourself together and man up or something," My Father complains.

"Yes, father."

"After dinner, get all the rest you can and eat more vegetables. A cook will be sent to your quarters tomorrow morning, you are getting too skinny."

"Yes, Father."

Wait, is this why they called me here?

"Bram, my son left earlier back to our pack because he has something to take care of," Alpha Kenneth finally said and l wondered what that has to do with me but he continues unaware of my thoughts, "And he has pleaded with your father to provide you with the best care that he'd be back in ten days to ask for your hand in marriage," He casually said like it was the most simplest thing ever.

I couldn't believe what I just heard. It was as if I was hearing double? Do they have the wrong person or what, "I'm sorry, Alpha but l don't understand what you mean?'' I asked, looking between my father and Alpha Kenneth.

"Bram this is a good thing, this has brought so much joy to my heart," My father smiled at me.

He is smiling at me for the first time in 17 years.

He is smiling at me with pride. He continued, "This is of grand benefits for The People's Pack. Our very own Pack and its future. l can die happily knowing the future of the pack is secured," He is happily explaining, "Bram, what Alpha Kenneth is trying to say is that Alpha Knight has chosen you to be his other half. He will be here in 10 days to claim you. And one thing for certain is that our pack will forever remain the umbrella to all neighbouring Packs. Now, joining in Union with the Southeast Pack is everything plushie. l know they are one of our rival packs for its continuous growth.

But coming together in one body makes everyone happy while going home. The Alpha has promised to give you the best love and care," My father is smiling enthusiastically.

He continues, "The Goddess has shine her grace on us, Bram. You can get married to an Alpha who is ready to sacrifice his pack for you to be his only. I know you understand what l mean and you know the safety and the happiness of the pack comes first. You are not an Alpha but you are my only son and l'm proud of you," My father completes his long sincere speech while I just sat there, paying utmost attention to the words.

"But father, he is not my mate," I try to argue, "We are not fated mates."

"Oh Bram, don't be so naive. Someone like you is likely not fated to have any mate or have feelings for a mate. Who are you? An omega? One who hasn't been born in the past one hundred and fifty years. And nobody has heard or knows if he ever had a mate or not. But your case is different. An Alpha of a well-known pack is ready to gladly merge his pack with ours as a way to please you and make you happy. He truly wants the best for you and that is why the only thing l want to see on your face is gratitude."

"But father...?"

"Save your strength, Bram. You are not in any place fit to make choices. The deal has been sealed already, l only called you here for you to have an idea about it and prepare yourself and take more care of yourself. Don't appear in front of everyone like a walking corpse," He is faded up by my presence already, "Go wait at the dining hall, let's have dinner with everyone before you go back to your quarters."

"Yes, Father."

"Bram," Alpha Kenneth begins, "I'm glad my son chose you. l know you are an excellent rarity and a peace-loving young man. Your eyes speak only peace and love and l have to join hands to gift you to my son because he has some good eyes," He is cheerful as my father agrees with him.

"Bram is a good kid," They both wallow in joy as I walk out of them.

Every step l took to the dining hall felt like l was walking barefooted on shattered glasses.

My thoughts are spreading like wildfire. My father is sending me off to Alpha Knight because he suggested getting his pack to join with our pack to avoid future hurdles.

What about me?

I know I haven't found my mate yet but that doesn't mean I don't have a feeling that someone is waiting for me somewhere. I have always believed that no matter how fast time flies by that one day l will have my own mate. l couldn't help the tears that rolled on my cheeks. I felt like l needed to pour my heart out... l felt so overwhelmed, so helpless.

What can l do?

I can't even go against my father, he is so happy for having two big wins. First, sending me off successfully and getting the Pack land he has been eyeing, and a piece where he felt would be a threat to our Pack in the future.

That's all for a father and son's love. My happiness has never mattered to him, l don't know why l even bother.

"Are you crying?" Gladys asks, curiously staring at my face.

"I'm okay," l walked over and sat on my seat.

"Are you sad about the thought of getting married?"

"You knew too?"

"Who doesn't? Alpha Knight is head over heels for you. He left early at dawn after a long discussion with our father. l saw when he left, after that father immediately dispatched people to break the news and to start the preparation for your wedding."

"All this went on without my consent?" Tears filled the brim of my eyelids.

Does nobody really care about how l feel?

"You got married to that vampire hunter because you love him, right?" I ask her.

"Right and he happened to be my fated mate."

"I don't feel anything for the Alpha Knight. As a matter of fact, l don't feel safe around him. He is aggressive and most of all he is a pervert."

"Haha, are you listening to yourself talk?" Gladys scoffed, waving me off as she helped the maids fix the dining table.

"What is funny about my predicament?"

"Because it sounds like a 'you problem'. It's all in your head, this guy is genuinely in love with you. He is already showing you how he feels about you and you are calling him names? Sometimes l don't know what humanity really wants, don't be so ungrateful Bram."

"I can't do this!" I shake my head, hating every thought of it.

"See Bram, l get this is all new to you, the whole marriage thing is depressing and breathtaking but believe me father is only doing what is best for you. Show some appreciation, don't be a hypocrite. Do you think our father will deliberately hurt you? He knows what is best and he chose it for you. You should take pride in getting married to an Alpha and a guy like a Knight at that, he is every girl's dream man," She finished talking and stormed off.

l held my head in total confusion as a crate of headache came hitting on me. I rested my face in my palm, rubbing my eyes. Is it too hard for these people to decipher what l feel about myself and this deal they feel so proud about? The feelings that hit me last night is something l don't want it reoccurring ever.

Does nobody seriously want to know what is going on with me? I have to meet Alpha Knight before the fixed date. He has to change his mind, he can't buy me by giving up his home in loyalty and this delusional marriage of his is not going to work.

But how can l contact him? I guess l should ask Alpha Kenneth how to contact his son. At least l can make him see reasons why he can't marry me.

*

"Let's eat," Gladys said, hitting the table. I guess I might have fallen asleep as I'm waking up to my footsteps coming to the dining hall and he is coming alone, "Father?" I looked vaguely, "Is Alpha Kenneth no longer joining us for the dining?"

"Oh, your future father-in-law left in a hurry. He has something important to attend to," He answered me, taking his seat, "Come on, have some food."

"Thank you, father."

"Is there anything you wanted him to convey to his son? Or do you want to see him?"

"No, nothing at all, father. I only wanted to ask him about Alpha Knight's contact or home phone address or postal code to send letters."

"That is not even necessary, Bram. You are not supposed to see each other until after the wedding night. Why don't you focus on developing yourself?"

"Yes, father."

"You are going to stand beside an Alpha as his other half, his Luna. Why don't you try and act as one?" Gladys added, rolling her eyes because he hates that she has to deal with me.

The rest of the dinner passed by faster than I had imagined. I didn't feel very sad waving goodbyes at Gladys as she left with her newly wedded husband. I went back to my room and locked myself in.

Two days had passed and I couldn't do anything about my situation. But thanks to the moon goddess that ill-sinking feeling has not returned to eat me up. I didn't really feel it anymore which makes me think if I was only drunk and horny that night.

Suddenly a voice is calling out to me at my door, "Omega."

I didn't dare anything because I now recognize this voice to be Alpha Knight's own.

He calls out again playfully, "Bram?"

I stood on my feet immediately, wondering what he was doing here even though I wanted to see him.

"Bram...?"

I pulled open the door and there... a sudden smirk plays on his lips. This actually captured my attention, making me realize how beautiful this man is. He has short grey coloured hair which made his face undeniably cute.

He raised his eyebrow at me, "I couldn't control myself so I came to see your angelic face, my bride-to-be," He leaned forward into my space, "l missed your eyes on me."

"Skip your nonsense, Alpha. Thanks to the spirit you are here and let me say this clearly to you so listen attentively. Whatever you have going on in your head about me, let it go because this marriage is not going to work. l can't and I won't marry you, as a matter of fact I have a mate waiting to be found by me and is definitely not you."

"You don't seem very pleased to see me," He responded in a low tone, a frown settling on his forehead as he thought the reason why I was not happy to see him, "I thought you'd jump on me when next you see me. Did anything bad happen to you?'' He cups my face, placing his finger on my lips.

There he goes again!

Anger is rising inside me, "Keep your stupid hands off me!" I took a step back but he stopped me by wrapping his hands around my waist, pulling me into his custody and embraced.

''Aren't you curious how you pique my interest so deadly?" His hot breath is fanning my neck, "You are everything l want and l'm never letting you go."

"Are you not scared your mate might get hurt from all these things you do to me?"

"You are my mate, Bram," He answered sternly like it was a common truth, "I see us being mates in your eyes. I see my future in your life, l see all the naughty and crazy things l want to do to you in your eyes."

"Please, l beg you in the name of the moon. Whatever deal you have with my father is not happening. l can't marry you and I don't want to be with you," I gathered my guts and pushed his big burgeoning torso away.

"That hurt more than anything in my life, Bram. Don't you feel awful saying those words to me?" He muttered sadly, looking lustfully at my face, searching my eyes for something he didn't leave there.

"I mean what l say, Alpha Knight. I'm not the one for you, you have the wrong person. Please don't make my life even harder and..."

He cuts my words short as he pulls me into his arms, baking his lips against mine. He pushes his tongue into my mouth, begging for access.

"Get away from me Alpha Knight, l won't do this with you."

"You don't understand how beautiful you look right now, Bram. You have no idea that pushing me away makes me crave for you even more. You are mine and there's no two ways about it," He is smiling menacingly, his eyes dark, "The moment you drank the drink l sent to you, it left you no choice but to accept me in your life."

"What? What drink are you talking about?" Then a thought came to my mind, that night... Fear overwhelmed me as l took a step backwards, taking a good and closer look at the man l haven't offended even in my life, "What did you do that for?"

Knight

"Alpha Richard is giving his daughter's hand in marriage," My father said, gulping up his glass of whiskey before placing it back on the table.

"So l heard," I replied, uninterested.

"So I want you to come with me. Let's honour his invitation. l will have them prepare your clothes."

I nodded, shutting my eyes as my father walked himself out. I wasn't phased or bothered by the invitation. l'm keen to gracing my presence in a well-organized respected gathering. After all, I'm well sorted after by everyone and every Pack I have given the honor of visiting. They always welcome me with open arms, they are mostly carried away by my demeanour.

Some of them will lay out a war truck of gold just for me to bless them with my eyes. Some of them will do anything to have my hand tap on their shoulders so i can feel their blood boil under their skin.

Some of them will beautifully throw themselves on me. So l finally concluded all the living creatures are attracted to me but none of them have proven themselves worthy of my attention.

But since my father personally invited me, l have to go.

"Done?" I asked the two Betas who have been dressing me up.

"Yes, Alpha.You look so good," They giggled among themselves, shy and red but l spared them no glance.

"Get the limited boxes of those black pearls ready, l want to give them to the bride," I tell the guard by the door.

"Yes, Alpha."

I let out a knowing smirk. Of course, l always look scrupulous and sweet. I flip my short stray hair backward, gazing at the mirror in front of me. I look too good to even exist in this world. After a short breakfast with my father, we both headed with a tinted black beetle convertible car to the People's Pack.

We got to this very beautiful castle-like house made up of grass and valleys.

"Welcome, Alpha Kenneth and Alpha Knight."

A slight smirk curves my lips at Alpha Richard's courtesy and warm welcome. I let my eyes unsteadily roam on everything around, keeping my cool and sweet composure as always.

"Make yourself comfortable, Alpha. This suite was specifically prepared for you," He shows me a master class suite made of gold with peak design for relaxation.

I appreciate his hospitality, "Thank you, Alpha Richard."

"Alpha please don't mention, enjoy your stay."

Later on the wedding night everything was going on quite well. The People's Pack is indeed living up to their reputation but it will be on the ground once l become the Head Alpha. A gentleman like me would love to follow the ritual procedures and find my mate. But that would have been the case if the myths still exist but now I can only hope for someone my heart could beat for.

I sat in the wedding party bored out of my mind, snooping out my plans about how I'm totally going to dominate the whole Central plains.

l shut my eyes, letting out a long sigh. Suddenly l felt the solitude of someone walking by me. At first, l thought it was one of the guards attending to their guest but not until a sweet smell of white pink flower, a smell of cotton rose filled my nose.

I opened my eyes to the smallest waistline I have ever seen. The owner was gyrating their hip bones in a delicious way with their walking steps. His black leather trouser was so tight on his body, accentuating those bubble ass incredulously. My eyes immediately shoot up at the luring enchanted white shirt swirling on his body like an ocean wave, blessing me with a peace of mind l deserve.

I let my eyes consume his whole body until my gaze fixed on the vein line on his neck. I admire how the line was beating out to the rhythm of his heartbeat. It makes my fangs glisten with a deadly desire. He is so beautiful, he has the most perfectly crafted oval face with shoulders length white hair to complement his creation.

l blinked back into reality when he sat on the table across from me on the same aisle but with the passageway separating us. I couldn't take my eyes off him, my heart began to crave for him desperately.

What is he?

I raised my right hand, getting the attention of the guard beside me.

"Alpha, how can l help you?"

I couldn't take my eyes off this beautiful soul food, "May l know who that gentleman is?"

"Oh, that is our Alpha's son. Omega Bram, Alpha."

"Omega?" I looked at the guard with surprise, "Really?"

"Yes, Alpha."

I wave for him to go.

An Omega?

He is not just a filthy sugar but a rarity at that. I instantly knew that I wanted him. He is the one for me and everything about him should be mine and mine alone.

I almost moaned when he turned around and gave me those real puppy eyes. He might have felt my eyes on him but I didn't care. I continue to drink him in, he is so beautiful, no explanation is needed.

I mind-linked my favourite Beta, Adrian. Who was standing guard behind my father keeping a close watch around.

"I need your attention, Adrian."

"Yes, Alpha."

"Come here."

"Uhm, Are you alright?"

"Get here at once," l said, rubbing my forehead impatiently.

"How can l help you, Alpha?" Adrian said, taking a seat beside me. His eyes squinted at the small brown bottle covered with a pink silk scarf that I brought out of my jacket.

"Empty this in a drink and have it delivered to that Omega."

"But he won't just accept a drink from me, would he?"

"Give it to one of the maids in the name of Alpha Gladys. He wouldn't reject a drink from the sister, would he? It's her wedding day of course."

"I understand, Alpha."

"Now go."

I applaud myself for making the best decision for my heart. I never knew the People's Pack would hold such a treasure. I'm more than grateful that I came here today. The spirit has favoured me and the goddess is greatly on my side.

Poison of the Enticing Flames. That is the liquid that is going into his drink, it is one of its kind. Now I have to see if what that old man said to me many years ago about this rare poison which works only on Omegas is true.

"Done, Alpha," Adrian reports back.

I watch my new interest quietly, he is more beautiful than the moonlight. I bite my lip forcefully as I let out a happy groan when l saw him gulp down every content of the cup.

May the spirit help me that l find an antidote for him, sooner or later. If l'm going to marry him, l won't let him die from being hell horny after every 10 days.

Speaking of the side effects l don't think it will do that much worse on him.

The more he ejaculates the more he is subject to this feeling and the crazier it'd be when it comes back after 10 days.

I chuckle under my breath, what a time to be alive. The happiness in me right now is like that of a fulfilled wish from an ancestral unicorn.

Oh, my fucker!

That scent... his scent was beginning to fill the air, the smell of cotton rose. His pheromones were filling up my nose. Will that have an immediate effect on him?

Fuck! It seems it has already started working as he was humping on the chair. I shut my eyes and glossed my lips with my tongue.

He is acting this way, so naughty, l like it. His butt getting pleasure from that wooden chair will soon get the pleasure it deserved from me. My body and heart began to flutter in the sweetness of his cotton rose.

If he continues moving his ass like that, I will make sure the sun never kisses his skin again. I went behind him and dropped my head on his neck, his smell became my oxygen and my fangs wanted to have a taste of his flesh.

l didn't expect him to flare up like l was going to have his head cut off from his body. His face was already red, his mouth was watery and his puppy eyes were shining on me. He is very cute, I could die. His legs were barely alive on the ground and he had gotten all the attention to himself because he wouldn't let me help him.

But his eyes had told me otherwise, he wanted my help and he also had fears lingering in his eyes.

"Let me help you, Bram?" I was so happy to help him and make him know he was the only important thing in the world. But a voice interrupted me when no one dares to interrupt me when l'm talking.

I tilt my head in the direction of the stern voice. It was Alpha Richard, his father, "I will have the guards send him to his room," He had said and I hated his greedy tone the most. He was obviously embarrassed by Bram and this was the best time for me to prove to him that I didn't mean any harm, that l just wanted to help him so I insisted on helping him.

I got the perfect view of his face. If my composure wasn't of top-notch l would have fallen into shambles in submission for his endearing beauty.

His eyes on me made everything even better.

He had quite a lot of control over himself and I'm sure he won't be able to have control over it later.

So I had decided to let him go back to his room, waiting around to make sure no one takes advantage of what is mine. l lurked around his quarters like a flash of shadow at his window until it was morning. I went to pay for his bride price immediately, giving up whatever greedy thing his father asked me for. After that I left in a hurry to have a meeting with Alpha Norbert of Island Pack.

Before that I had said, "Alpha Richard, l'm honoured to be your son-in-law. With this privilege, l will love to ask for a favour."

"Anything Alpha, just ask and it will be given to you," He chuckles proudly."

"This will make me extremely very happy to see that Bram is being taken care of at length, in 8 days time. l will see to every present, including his clothes, boxes of shoes, scent soaps and lotions and everything a beautiful man would ever need will arrive in this Pack safely. Then l will come to claim him on the tenth day," I said sincerely.

"Your favour is granted, Alpha."

I returned to my Pack to finish up every pending unattended matter but my body wanted that Omega. I kept thinking about him. I couldn't wait to marry him.

[My wolf has been keeping tabs on me telling me he is not our mate.]

Of course l know he is not our mate. Don't you feel like you want to rail him up whenever you see him? Don't worry I'm giving you something to play with. Let's go and meet our better half.

"Adrian are you there?" I mind-linked my Beta, "Get the car keys to the main entrance," l said, stepping out of my suite and strolling in the hallway leaving my hands in my pocket.

"It's late, l will drive you to where you are going," Adrian drawled.

"I have personal matters to attend to."

"More reasons l should drive you."

"Don't bother," l said, snatching the keys from Adrian's hand as I walked past him.

"Your father came back and he requested your presence at dawn."

l gave him a thumbs up heading to the car. l stormed off leaving my Beta to his stares. I'm going to only sneak in to have a peek at Bram.

Did he think about me? Did he like how l touched him that night? Would he want me?

Now, I was standing outside his door and he wasn't so happy to see me. He even went as far as saying he doesn't want to marry me and that he wants his mate more than he wants me.

I couldn't understand why I was standing right in front of him and he didn't want me.

Whew!

Maybe this is what it means to take interest or fall in love with the most beautiful man who walks this earth. l stepped forward and wrapped his waist into my arms where it belongs, leaving a remarkable kiss on his lips but he refuses to let me through, to access his tongue. Instead, he gathered all his strength to push me away from himself.

I feel so hurt that he doesn't want me but then he wants me, "l would stake my life for you just to hear you tell me that you want me."

"What did you do that for?" He asked me about the topic of his drink and I gave him my sincere answer.

"Because l love you and l want you to be mine."

"What?" I could hear how low his voice was in his throat.

"I knew you'd act this way so l choose this for you. l poisoned your drink but don't worry it's not that kind of poison," l said, fucking him with my eyes, "It will stimulate your hormones and take control of your body, making you want more than you can get. It will leave you with excessive desires and drive you into pleasure.

I don't think I have to explain, you are a living testimony to tell the tales of how it truly feels to have the Poison of Enticing Flames in your body."

"What do you stand to gain from all of this? Don't you understand the essence of mate-bond?" He said, gripping his shirt until it was draping.

"Are you angry with me, Bram?" I ask him instead.

"Get out, leave my room or l will call the guards."

I rolled my eyes, enthralled by this beautiful creature who can't even stand on his feet because he heard his drink was tampered on.

"What should l do to you?" My tone is seductive as I take a step forward, pinning him on the wall, "I guess l only have to make you accept me in the way l can only think about," I leave tiny kisses on his right cheek and then on the other cheek. I press my nose on his skin, breathing in a full dose of his sweet scent. I let my fangs tease his neck, prepping how soft and tight his skin is.

A soft groan slowly leaves his mouth, "Don't mark me."

"What do you think of me, Bram? Do you think I'd mark you without you accepting me with your body and soul? I won't do anything to hurt you, you're my only one. l will wait until l claim you," l mumbled, unable to take my eyes off him, he might just disappear if l do.

I slightly relaxed my body, hating him for refusing my contact. I let my fingers comb through his hair as l placed a kiss on his lips. I suck on his bottom lip as if I'm sucking on peaches, licking the roof of his mouth, "Let me through, Bram."

He shakes his head in disagreement

"Every man should throw flower petals for you to walk on, you deserve the reputation of a royal wife. I want our wedding night to arrive already," I said, feeling his bulged poke in my stomach. It reminds me how close I l was to his warm body, "Your body says yes to me, Bram. What should l do?"

He shut his eyes, turning his head to the side.

"You are trying to distract your thoughts from me, aren't you?" I took a step backwards and picked him up bridal style, taking him to his bed as I sat on it, not letting him go, "Bram, your actions and words are piercing my heart and causing me pain. Don't ever shut your eyes on me again... l should be everything you want to see. l'm very sad from all this and l just want to see that you sleep very comfortably," I release calming pheromones, easing his mind.

It went totally quiet as he didn't want to talk to me. But l'm happy to see his resting face, "Sleep, my Omega," I peck his lips and then licked his face.

I stared at how beautiful he fell asleep in my arms, it made me so happy that he could rest while he was with me but I needed to head back to have a meeting with my father at dawn and I needed to make sure our wedding preparations went as planned.
