Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

Elian

Morning light filtered through the heavy curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. I stirred groggily, blinking away the remnants of sleep as I took in my surroundings. The softness of the sheets, the familiar scent of Aurelia's perfume lingering in the air, it all came rushing back to me in a wave of memories.

I stretched, feeling the ache in my muscles from yesterday's ordeal. As I sat up, the events of the previous day flooded back to me, the chase through the woods, the fight between Raina and the black wolf, Cellaria's enraged appearance, and the long walk home with Raina. I groaned inwardly, remembering the fear and uncertainty that had plagued me throughout the night.

I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, standing cautiously as I tested my injured ankle. It throbbed dully, but seemed to hold my weight well enough. Limping slightly, I made my way to the window, pulling back the heavy curtains to let in the bright morning sunshine. The city sprawled before me, a bustling metropolis teeming with life and energy.

My heart leapt into my throat as the door to the bedroom burst open. I turned slowly, already knowing who it would be. There she stood, framed in the doorway, her silhouette backlit by the harsh fluorescent lights of the hallway beyond. The air crackled with electricity, charged by the sheer intensity of her presence.

Aurelia stepped into the room, her movements fluid and graceful despite the anger that radiated from her. Her eyes were still blazing with the ferocity of her wolf, but there was something else there too, a hunger that sent a shiver down my spine. She stalked towards me, each step deliberate and predatory, her gaze locked onto mine. "You should not have run" she growled, her voice low and dangerous.

"Sorry, my Alpha..." I stammered, my voice barely audible as I dropped my gaze to the floor. "I had to obey you." My heart pounded wildly in my chest, fear and arousal warring within me. I could feel the heat radiating from her body, the scent of her musk filling the air around us. Despite the danger, my traitorous body responded to her proximity, a flush creeping up my neck and cheeks.

Aurelia circled me like a predator, her nostrils flaring as she took in my scent. I stood rooted to the spot, my breath coming in shallow gasps as I tried desperately to control the reactions of my treacherous body. My pulse raced, my cheeks flushed, and despite every effort to suppress it, a telltale bulge grew in my pants. Her fingers traced along my jawline, tilting my chin up to meet her intense gaze. "Obey me?"

"Always, my Alpha..." I whispered, my voice trembling with a mix of fear and submission. "I'm yours, remember?" A low growl rumbled from deep within Aurelia's chest, sending vibrations through the air that prickled my skin. The sound was primal, possessive, and it ignited a fire within me that burned away all rational thought.

Before I could react, strong hands grasped my wrists, yanking me backwards. Aurelia spun me around with surprising force, my back colliding with the solid wall behind me. Her body pressed against mine, pinning me in place as she leaned in close, her breath hot on my ear. "Mine" she growled possessively, her voice a low rumble that resonated through my entire being. "Only mine."

Aurelia's hands roughly seized my hips, lifting me effortlessly off the ground. I gasped as she tossed me onto the bed, my body bouncing on the plush mattress. Before I could catch my breath, she was on top of me, straddling my waist, her knees digging into the bedding on either side of my hips. "You will not disobey me again" she snarled, her voice thick with anger and something darker, more primal.

Her hands pinned my wrists above my head, holding me in place with a strength that belied her slender frame. I struggled briefly, testing her grip, but it was futile; she was far stronger than me. A thrill of excitement shot through me at the realization, mingling with the fear that already coursed through my veins. "Do you understand me, omega?" Aurelia demanded, her eyes flashing with a dangerous intensity.

My struggles ceased as I stared up at her, my breath hitching in my throat. "Y-yes, my Alpha" I stammered, my voice barely audible. Aurelia's grip on my wrists tightened, her fingers pressing into my flesh with a possessive force that sent shivers down my spine. She leaned down, her face inches from mine, her eyes boring into me with an intensity that made my heart race.

Aurelia's voice was a low, dangerous whisper, a stark contrast to the ferocity in her eyes. "I will punish you" she growled, her breath hot on my face, "and you will remember it forever, my little omega." Her words sent a shiver down my spine, a mixture of fear and anticipation coursing through my veins. I swallowed hard, my mouth dry as I stared up at her, completely at her mercy.

Aurelia released my wrists and climbed off of me. "Turn over" she commanded. I rolled onto my stomach, feeling her hands on my hips, pulling me further up the bed. She straddled me again, this time sitting on my ass as she grabbed the hem of my shirt. With one swift motion, she tore the fabric apart, exposing my bare back to her hungry gaze. I gasped in shock and surprise, my body tensing instinctively. "Shhh..."

Aurelia's hands ran over my bare skin, tracing the lines of my spine, her nails digging in slightly. I shuddered beneath her touch, a mix of pain and pleasure coursing through me. Her fingers hooked into the waistband of my pants, and with a single tug, she ripped them clean off, leaving me naked and vulnerable on the bed. She moved quickly, flipping me onto my back once more.

Aurelia loomed over me, her eyes roving over my exposed body. I lay beneath her, utterly defenseless, my heart pounding in my chest like a trapped animal. Her gaze lingered on the evidence of my arousal, a betraying tent in my boxers, and a slow smile spread across her lips. "You find this exciting, don't you, omega?" she purred, her voice dripping with amusement and triumph.

"I-I don't know what you mean" I stammered, trying to avert my gaze from hers, but she grabbed my chin and forced me to look directly into her piercing eyes. "You smell delicious" she breathed, leaning closer until our faces were mere inches apart. "So ready, so willing... I can see how much you want this."

Aurelia released my chin, her eyes never leaving mine as she stood up from the bed. Slowly, deliberately, she peeled off her own clothing, revealing inch after inch of toned, muscular flesh. I watched, mesmerized, as she tossed aside each garment until she stood before me completely naked, her body a testament to her power and dominance. Her breasts were full and round, her nipples already hard with arousal.

Her body was marked with scars, some faded and silvery white, others still pink and raised. A jagged line ran across her abdomen, another zigzagging down her right thigh. They spoke of battles fought and won, of trials endured and overcome. She was magnificent. Aurelia climbed onto the bed, crawling over me like a predator claiming its prey.

Without hesitation, Aurelia positioned herself between my thighs, her knees pressing firmly into the mattress on either side of my hips. I could feel the heat radiating from her core, the wetness that betrayed her arousal. Her hands gripped my hips with bruising force, holding me in place as she lined herself up with my entrance.

With one swift, powerful thrust, Aurelia impaled me on her length. I cried out, the sudden intrusion sending waves of pleasure and pain crashing through my body. Her cock filled me completely, stretching me wide as it slid deep into my passage. She held still for a moment, allowing me to adjust to her size, her eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that stole my breath away. Then, without warning, she began to move.

Aurelia started to move, drawing her hips back slowly before slamming into me again. The force of her thrusts drove me further up the bed, my body sliding helplessly beneath hers. She grunted with each powerful movement, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she took me with brutal intensity.

The sound of our bodies slapping together filled the room, punctuated by my desperate cries and Aurelia's low growls. She leaned down, her teeth grazing my shoulder as she nipped and licked at the sensitive skin. I whimpered, arching my back to press myself closer to her. Her pace quickened, her thrusts becoming more erratic as she chased her release.

I felt her teeth graze my neck, and I froze, suddenly understanding what she intended to do. Aurelia was going to mark me. "Wait..." I gasped, but it was too late. With a sudden surge of speed, Aurelia drove into me even harder, knocking the breath from my lungs as she bit down sharply on my neck. Pain exploded through me, sharp and searing, as her teeth pierced my skin.

Blood bloomed on my skin, hot and sticky, as Aurelia sank her teeth deeper into my flesh. I screamed, the sound high-pitched and desperate, as waves of pleasure and pain crashed through me simultaneously. Her hips slammed into mine relentlessly, driving her cock even deeper into my body as she marked me as hers. The sensation was overwhelming, unlike anything I had ever experienced before.

My vision swam, darkness creeping in at the edges as Aurelia continued to drive into me, her teeth still buried in my neck. My blood coated her tongue, bonding us together in the most primal way possible. I could feel her heartbeat echoing through my own chest, our breaths syncing perfectly as we moved together.

Aurelia's knot swelled, locking us together as her teeth finally released their hold on my neck. I collapsed onto the bed, panting and gasping for breath, my body aching deliciously from the fierce claiming. She remained atop me, her chest heaving as she struggled to catch her breath, her weight pressing me into the mattress. Her teeth had torn open my flesh, leaving two distinct puncture wounds on my neck.

I reached up tentatively, touching the wound on my neck. It was still bleeding, the warm liquid trickling down my collarbone. Aurelia shifted slightly, her cock still embedded deep within me, her knot keeping us locked together. I winced as her movement caused a fresh spasm of pleasure-pain to ripple through my body. "Mine" Aurelia growled softly, her voice barely audible.

"Only yours, my Alpha" I whispered, my voice hoarse and breathless. My fingers trembled as I traced them lightly along the bite mark on my neck, feeling the warmth of my blood and the sting of the wounds. Aurelia's claim on me was complete, her scar a constant reminder of the bond we shared. She leaned in, her breath hot in my ear as she whispered softly, "Good boy."

Aurelia's praise sent a shudder through me, a mix of relief and pride washing over me. I could feel her heart beating steadily against my chest, the rhythm steady and calming. Despite the fierce passion that had consumed us both moments ago, there was something comforting about lying here beneath her, bound to her in the most intimate way possible.

"Are you still mad at me about yesterday?" I asked hesitantly, my voice barely above a whisper. The question hung heavy in the air between us, and I braced myself for her response. Aurelia lifted her head slightly, looking down at me with an unreadable expression in her eyes. Her fingers gently stroked the back of my neck as she considered her answer. After what felt like an eternity, she spoke softly. "No, little omega."

Her voice was gentle, almost tender, as she brushed a strand of hair away from my forehead. "But you must learn your place" she continued, her tone firming slightly. "You will always be obedient to me, yes?" "Yes, Alpha" I replied immediately, eager to prove my devotion. Aurelia smiled down at me, her thumb tracing lazy circles on my neck. "Good boy" she murmured, her voice sending shivers down my spine.

She leaned down and kissed me deeply, her tongue exploring my mouth as if tasting me for the first time. I melted into her kiss, my body responding eagerly to hers. As we broke apart, Aurelia pulled back slightly, her eyes searching mine. "Tell me you understand" she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "Understand what?" I asked, my brow furrowing in confusion.

Aurelia cupped my cheek, her thumb brushing gently against my skin. "That you belong to me" she said, her voice low and commanding. "And that I will always protect you, care for you, and keep you safe." Her words washed over me, filling me with a sense of belonging and security I had never known before. I nodded eagerly, my eyes shining with unshed tears. "I understand, Alpha" I whispered, my voice choked with emotion.

Aurelia leaned down and captured my mouth in a fierce, demanding kiss. Our tongues danced together, tangling and exploring as we both sought to reaffirm the connection between us. When she finally broke away, I was left breathless and dizzy, clinging to her shoulders for support. "Mine" she growled possessively, her eyes blazing with an intensity that made my heart pound wildly. "Forever."

Aurelia's eyes softened as she looked down at me, her fingers still stroking my neck gently. "I am sorry if I hurt you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "It was necessary, but I did not wish to cause you pain." I shook my head, offering her a small smile. "It didn't hurt that bad" I lied, trying to reassure her. She chuckled softly, her body shifting slightly against mine.

I looked up into her eyes, my voice barely audible as I confessed, "I love you marking me, my Alpha." Aurelia's expression softened, and she leaned down to press a gentle kiss to the corner of my mouth. "You are mine, aren't you?" she murmured, her lips trailing along my jawline. "Completely" I agreed, tilting my head back to give her better access. Her teeth nipped at my earlobe, eliciting a soft moan from me.

Aurelia's tongue traced the shell of my ear, her breath hot against my skin. "You smell incredible right now," she growled softly. "My scent all over you..." Her words sent a shiver down my spine, and I couldn't help but squirm beneath her, my body still oversensitive from our earlier activities. "You like that, don't you?" Aurelia teased, her teeth scraping gently against the sensitive spot where my neck met my shoulder.

Aurelia's teeth closed around my neck, not biting, just holding me in place as she rocked her hips gently, grinding her cock inside me. I whimpered softly, my body aching deliciously from the intense claiming. She growled low in her throat, the vibration rumbling through both of us. "Such a good little omega" she praised, her voice rough with satisfaction. "Taking my knot so well."

Aurelia's grip on my neck tightened fractionally, her teeth pressing into my flesh as she began to move her hips once more. Her knot had begun to deflate slightly, allowing her to slide in and out of me with increasing ease. The sensation was exquisite, a mixture of pleasure and pain that left me breathless and gasping for air...
