Sold To The Untouchable Alpha novel Chapter 1

[Arissa's POV]

Heat pressed against my skin and the scent of desire filled my nose. The night that I dreaded had finally come, and the need to give in to instinct stirred.

Lifting my arm, I examined the cuff that dug into my flesh.

They made it tight enough to make sure I didn't break free.

Cursing, I tried to ignore the throb of desire that rushed through me. I needed to escape before he came. Otherwise, I feared everything would be over.

Around me, rattles and moans echoed from the others that were already lost. There was no stopping it once they gave in.

"Come on," I gasped, as my core throbbed. "Come on."

The sound of a lock clicking open and a door creaking reached my ears, sending a shiver of fear and expectation through me.

Pushing aside the need to be satisfied, I reminded myself of how cruelly omegas were treated during mating. There wouldn’t be any gentleness if I wasn’t able to escape, only rough animalistic treatment that would leave me tattered and broken.

They were here. Growls of lust filled the air as they surged forward, claiming their victim.

Soon, the room was filled with moans of passion and the scent of sex. Beds creaked and some even broke from the sheer brutality of the reproduction process.

"Arissa," a sweet and husky voice purred just to my side.

Gasping, I increased my attempts at snapping the cuff holding me.

"Don't be like that." He cooed, taking a step forward.

I watched in horror as he came into full view. His golden eyes glowed with lust, and his mouth twisted into a vicious smile. His chest, which was bare, heaved with each breath of longing he released.

"Gillian," I whimpered, fearful and desirous. "Please let me go."

"Not until I've had you." He responded happily.

My eyes grew wide as he dug in his pocket and produced a key.

"It won't be fun to force you." He said this while unlocking my cuff. "So I'm going to make you beg."

A shiver of pleasure at his words raced through me. I was beginning to lose to instinct.

"Please..." I moaned weakly. "Don't.

My body screamed for relief, but my head screamed no.

Taking the chance, I surged forward, bumping against Gillian's side. The force of the hit managed to cause him to stumble, allowing me the chance to race through the room and burst outside into the night.

Up above, the cursed blood moon shone brightly, beckoning me to heed its purpose. It was like a siren’s call, and my body wanted so desperately to obey.

"No," I hissed, looking around. "I can't."

Shaking off the need for the moment, I began to run, making my way into the woods just beyond the compound.

The mating house was a specially designated area where adult omegas were brought days before the blood moon. It resided in the middle of the Calary Woods and was just a mile or so away from the New Moon pack grounds.

I knew that the woods were dangerous and housed dark creatures, but I continued to run, determined to escape my stepbrother, who was desperate to mate with me.
