Chapter 27 - Chapter 27

Elian

I wake up with a groan, my body shaking as I try to roll over. But, Oh God, It's nearly impossible to move. My legs are slick with precum, and my entire body aches. I realize with a start; I must be in heat. It's happened so suddenly! I take in a frantic a breath at the realization, which only makes things worse. A bone-deep shiver rattles through me, and my cock throbs; my balls are so full it hurts.

I shove the sheets off my body, trying to stand, to call for help. But as soon as my toes hit the soft rug on the floor, a wave of heat crashing over me. Stars form in front of my eyes as I fight to stay conscious. I gasp, my cock and slick entrance throbbing as my body pulses with an insatiable need. My legs give out and I collapse back onto the bed. "Someone... help!" I cry out, although I doubt anyone heard.

Door bursts open, and Raina and Elara rush into the room, their faces a mixture of concern and alarm. "Elian!" Elara exclaims, rushing to my bedside. Her gaze quickly takes in my disheveled state, my body slick with sweat and trembling with need. "What's wrong?" "H-heat" I gasp, my voice barely a whisper. "It came on so suddenly. I couldn't even make it out of bed."

Raina and Elara exchange a concerned glance before turning their attention back to me. Elara gently takes my hand, her touch both soothing and grounding. "It's okay, Elian" she murmurs, her voice calm and reassuring. "We're here to help you through this." "I'm gonna call alpha" Raina informed as she stands in surprise. "Yeah, yeah, you should call her immediately" Elara agreed.

"Wait" I breathe, my hand trembling as I reach out and grab Elara's arm to stop her. "Don't call Aurelia." Both Raina and Elara freeze, turning to look at me with expressions of surprise. "Elian, she needs to know..." Elara starts, but I shake my head vehemently, cutting her off. "I don't want to bother her" I insist, my voice laced with desperation.

"Please" I beg, my eyes pleading with Elara and Raina. "I just want to be alone right now. I don't want Aurelia to worry about me." Elara and Raina exchange a glance, and I can tell that neither of them is truly convinced, but they cannot deny the request of an Omega in heat. "Alright" Elara finally concedes. "But promise us you'll call us if you need anything."

"You have my word" I reply, offering them a small, grateful smile. I tremble as I focus on the present moment. As my Omega instincts begin to rise abruptly, I push myself off the bed and make my way to Aurelia's side of the room. On the floor by the wall, there's a blanket and a few cushions.

I gather the items in my arms, my body already shaking with need as I carry them back to Aurelia's side of the bed. I set them down on the plush rug and quickly begin to construct a makeshift nest. I've done this before, during my heat, as a familiar sense of comfort begins to wash over me. My movements are driven by instinct, and I can feel my heat intensifying as I work.

I tear open the wardrobe, my heart pounding as I desperately search for anything that bears Aurelia's scent. I manage to grab a pile of her garments, a discarded t-shirt with her intoxicating scent still clinging to the fabric, a sweater, and a dark hoodie. I swiftly add them to the nest, nestling myself in the center of the cocoon I've created. I curl up in its soft embrace, breathing deeply.

Kael's voice echoes softly in my mind, his words gentle yet insistent. "This heat is not the same as your past ones, little wolf. It is stronger, more powerful. This is your first true heat as an Omega, and it will bring about great changes in your body." His words send a shiver through my body, and I can feel the heat intensifying, the need within me growing stronger and more urgent.

My hand trembling, I grab them all and lift them to my nose. Inhaling deeply, her scent floods my senses, sending a wave of warmth and comfort through me. My body aches with need, but there is a strange, calming bliss too. Kael is right. This isn't like my past heats. This is something, more.

"Kael..." I start, my voice barely a whisper. His wolf's voice resonates in my mind, more insistent this time. "Elian, if you don't tell Aurelia soon, other Alphas will smell you and come here immediately" he warns, his tone urgent. I freeze, my heart pounding in my chest as the reality of his words sinks in. I know he is right.

"Okay, I know" I whisper back to Kael. Clutching at the blankets, I wrap them more tightly around myself, holding them to my face like a lifeline. "I can handle it. I'll handle it. I'll manage the heat." I repeat, trying to reassure both myself and my wolf. The scent of Aurelia fills my lungs, offering a modicum of comfort amidst the storm of need that rages within me. "You know, it's strange."

"I mean..." I trail off, trying to put my feelings, instincts, and urges, into words. With a groan, I take a long moment. "This may sound strange, but I don't want an Alpha to. I don't know how to explain it. I know I need it, but... I want Aurelia. I need it to be her." As I whisper this, I run my fingers along the panties that I found earlier and placed in front of me.

As soon as I confess that to my wolf, the world seems to shift. And I know Kael feels it too. The whispers of other wolves, other Alphas, stirs the air. Seem to beat against my skull, harder and harder, more demanding, more insistent. "Alpha," I murmur against the clothing to my face. "Come back soon please. I... need you." It's all I can do. All I can say.

I drift in and out of consciousness throughout the day, my body alternating between periods of deep, restless sleep and a feverish wakefulness. The heat is growing, and Kael snarls in my head. Hours blur together, and I lose track of time. I awaken as the sun begins to set, the first rays of twilight seeping through the curtains.

The sound of the door creaking open pulls me from my slumber. I stir, groaning as my body throbs with need. My senses are heightened, and I can smell Raina's scent even before I see her. As she steps into the room, I can feel a deep growl rumbling in my chest. The moment she crosses the threshold, I feel a surge of territorial possessiveness. The newly awakened part of me demands that I protect what's mine.

Raina's footsteps are soft as she approaches my nest, and I realize, however, that she may not know about my Omega instincts. Nevertheless, my wolf and I cannot let this danger. Not now, not ever. I glare at her, still growling. I harden my voice as power flows through me. By the powerful moon I swear to protect what's mine. "Get. Out." My voice does not sound weak or pleading, but strong.

My words freeze Raina in her tracks, her eyes widening with surprise and a touch of fear. I gibber my wolf back a little, easing some of the tension in my body. Just as I start to think that she will listen to me, A flash of light catches my eye. She's flipping to call Aurelia on her phone. My thoughts quickly shift into a wave of panic.

"No!" The word erupts from my throat with a ferocity I barely recognize as my own. The world around me is a haze of heat and desperation, and I can feel my body trembling under the weight of my need. "Raina, please..." I beg, my voice barely above a whisper. But I know she can't hear me.

With a burst of speed gained from Omegas in emergencies, I stumble out of the nest and stand as solidly as I can. Panic makes my thoughts go distant, yet I force a word of reason into them. "Raina. Please. Please..." I beg again, my voice choked. Her grip strengthens on the phone, bleached knuckles visible, as she continues her attempt to call Aurelia. "You aren't listening" I protest.

Her momentum falters, the phone slipping from her grasp as her eyes meet mine. "Okay" she nods hastily, her voice barely above a whisper. My grip on the blanket tightens as I take a step back. Soon forgotten by my aching body, the heat purges any other thoughts, pulling me under its sweltering waves.

"Please..." I manage to rasp out, my body aching for release. The heat courses through my veins, and I know I can't hold out much longer. "Just leave. I can't..." My voice trails off as sudden tears prick my eyes. "I can't control it" I admit, my heart pounding heavily in my chest. "I don't want Aurelia to see me like this."

Rain's face softens in realization, and she nods. "Okay" she whispers. She knows this is important for me. She scurries back to the door, leaving the room and pulling it closed behind her. And, thank heavan, she didn't call Aurelia. She doesn't know everything. But maybe, just maybe... The sound of the door clicking shut has barely registered before a surge of pent-up need overtakes me.
