I could still feel the pain but it was like my brain couldn’t quite register it.
He would be back soon, Kaelan. And I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. I wanted him, or at least my body did and he had shown me more kindness than I ever expected from a man with his reputation but he wouldn’t have been my first choice.
And maybe that was the problem. I had believed that I had a choice. That I was special because of who my father was and the respect people gave him. When at the end of the day I was no different from every other omega in the world. There was never really a choice. Either biology took over or you were sold like goods at a market to the highest bidder.
In a way I was lucky. Kaelan had power and status within the city. And he wasn’t cruel. At least not to me.
I had always managed to get myself through my heats in the past but I couldn’t deny the feel of his hands on my body, had eased the need in me much quicker than I had ever managed it. I had enjoyed the feel of him touching me.
Just thinking of him caused a fresh wave of slick to coat my thighs. I doubled over. Clutching my stomach with both hands.
Where was he?
Surely he should be here?
Plumping up another pillow I placed it carefully back where I thought it should be. A low, almost pathetic growl falling from my lips when yet again it didn’t look or feel right.
Why wouldn’t it go right? I had been arranging and rearranging them for hours and it was always wrong.
The noise outside didn’t help any either. Loud bangs and cries echoed from the streets below the window, drawing my attention away from what was important.
Namely building my nest.
I couldn’t even see what was going on, my shackles wouldn’t let me get to the window to see.
I would have been scared if I hadn’t known I was safe inside this locked room. Whatever was happening in the streets below Kaelan would protect me.
Hell, this might be what happened every night here. He was the alpha of a bunch of criminals after all.
A big, strong alpha who would… the thoughts got away from me as somewhere downstairs something large fell to the floor with a loud crash.
It didn’t matter though, something had caught my eye. A shirt. Discarded and forgotten half under the bed. Leaning forwards I managed to hook it with the tip of my fingers.
Bringing it up, I buried my face into it. Breathing Deeply I let the scent of pure alpha fill my lungs.
Kaelan had obviously worn this recently. I could smell him so clearly on it. His skin, the saltiness of his sweat.
It was an intoxicating aroma.
And exactly what I was missing to complete my nest. Somehow the added shirt made it perfect.
Smiling down at my creation, I settled myself down in the very centre, patting it all with trembling fingers.
This would be the nest I would be claimed in when Kaelan came back. And finally, it was ready.
I just hoped he wouldn’t be too much longer. It had been hours since the doctor had last been in here, already I could feel the medication starting to wear off. Soon I would be left to deal with my heat by myself, and I wasn’t sure how I was going to do it with my internal trauma. The soothing gel they had smeared on me helped but it wouldn’t last forever.
Maybe my best bet was to touch myself like Kaelan had touched me. And use my own fingers to ease the building tension until he came back.
It wasn’t like I hadn’t done it before, of course, I had never done it in an alphas bed before.
A fresh wave of pain ripped through me and any doubt left me with the slick that rushed from my body, soaking the nightdress I was in.
Pulling it over my head I tossed it away, I would be more comfortable naked, naked and in my nest waiting for the man who would be my mate.
Letting my fingers slide over my breasts, I made myself relax into it. But I barely had time to rub my hands down my stomach when the door slammed open.
My head lifted hopefully. Was he finally here to take care of my needs?
