CHAPTER SIXTEEN.

My brain shut down automatically and did a quick reboot as I tried to comprehend and understand what the fuck was happening.

 Head Alpha Rhaegal... He.... He.... I couldn't even finish that thought as I snapped out of it and pushed him away. My attempt to escape flopped greatly as he held me tight and sealed my lips once more.

 This went on for a while until I couldn't breathe properly. I pushed him away once more and covered my mouth with my hand as I panted heavily while giving him a death stare.

" You....you can't do that to an omega in heat."

" Why not? " he raised an eyebrow " My omega is in heat and got muddled headed, trying to reject me. I had to do something."

" Unhand me. " I gritted out.

" So you can reject me?" his voice changed " I have never wronged you Lucien, but these days, you've been testing my-"

 His words were cut off by the sound of the door suddenly opening. Nyx walked in and upon seeing our positions, she quickly moved back and tried to leave.

" Don't go!" I quickly yelled and tried to escape his grasp " Don't leave me like this Nyx, please."

 Nyx stopped and frowned a bit while raising an eyebrow.

" You two seem to be in sync with each other. I wouldn't want to be a disturbance so I'll let you two be and continue what you were doing."

 Continue....? What we were doing....? Continue what we were doing?!

" No. I don't want to. I don't want to be anywhere near him." Alpha Rhaegal released me immediately I made that statement.

 I didn't think twice and ran to hide behind Nyx.

" What did you do?" Nyx glared at him, much to my satisfaction.

" Me?" his voice was cold " I only tried to stop my mate from rejecting me."

 The room grew silent as I lowered my head, unable to meet Nyx gaze. I felt a pair of soft hands land on my shoulder and for some reason, I felt guilty.

" Lucien, is that true?" I couldn't reply.

 Nyx has been nothing but nice to me since I got here. She's been very supportive when she heard that I was mated to her son, she didn't hold a grudge.

 But here I am.... about to reject her son which will lead to excruciating torture and pain for him and possibly, death. About to render her pack Alpha_less and even deny them of a Luna.

What....What the fuck was I thinking? I know he's different from the other Head Alphas I've come across, I know he won't treat me like they did but I just can't accept him. It'll never work out....

" I'm sorry." I apologized sincerely " I really am sorry Nyx. I wasn't thinking straight at the time. It won't happen again, I promise."

" I'm not mad at you. A bit hurt? Yeah. But I'm not angry. Let's take it slow okay. You two can take your time to know each other better."

" I...I can do that." I raised my head and gave her a small smile.

" Really?!" Nyx eyes lit up even brighter than those Christmas lights.

" I....I can give it a try." I nodded.

 Maybe I am living in the past. Maybe I'm overthinking things. If I let go of the bad memories.....if I let go of my own prejudice...... then maybe..... Just, maybe.....I can move on and accept him.

...********************...

 I really did got more than I bargained for!

It's been two weeks since my heat ended and it's really hard trying not to run into any pack members, considering the fact I'm living in the pack house, it's extremely difficult.

Even when I decide to stay in my room, they'll always come knocking to greet me or something like that. I thought that was the height of it until Alpha Rhaegal decided to throw himself into the equation.

These days, he's been hanging around me more and more. He makes sure I eat three times a day and always trying to make sure I'm comfortable around him.

 I told Nyx I was gonna try and I told myself I was gonna move on. My wolf was practically running around and howling in my head when I made that decision.

 Right now, we're seating in his office, his scent invading my every thought. He said he had some things to settle in his office and he wanted me to come with him. I couldn't refuse so here I am, sitting on a couch while reading a book.

" Are you bored?" he suddenly asked.

" No, I'm fine." I replied before suddenly recalling something I've always wanted to ask.

" Uhm actually.... I have a question."

" I'm all ears. "

" How... How old are you exactly? " I asked.

 I've always speculated about his age cause looking at his physique and features, he shouldn't be more than twenty-one or twenty-two-

" I'm twenty-eight already." I near fell off the couch.

 He's twenty eight?! How the hell as he been keeping himself in check all this time without his mate? Once Alphas experience their first rut, their sex drive multiply by a hundred fold. They'll need an omega- maybe he got help from the omegas in his pack.....

No! This pack is different, they'll never agree to that even if he's the head Alpha. Even he himself might disagree. Through the help of suppressants? But that means he has to be using it on a daily basis while resisting his own desires! That's torture.

" Hey what are you thinking?!" he suddenly sprang up and walked towards me " I didn't do that. I'm on some strong suppressants created by the pack healers and scientists. I never requested the help of an omega."

 He knelt on one knee almost causing me to jump out of my seat but his hands held me back. He was staring at me with those eyes that threaten to suck me in, telling me to believe him.

" I know that." I tugged at my hair " Nyx probably wouldn't accept it either."

" I wouldn't either." he held me tighter " It has never crossed my mind before."

" Okay."

" Hey. Wanna go somewhere with me later?"

" Where?" I asked.

" To the human city. Your friends are planning on going out tonight and even your brother's tagging along with Adrian."

" Oh." I wouldn't have know since I've been avoiding everyone " Then I'll ask Xavier about it."
