Lorelei

My knees dug into the cold stone floor as I hunched over the toilet, my body convulsing. Bile burned my throat, bitter and unrelenting, as the memory of Alpha Gideon’s hands clawed its way back into my mind.

I gripped the porcelain bowl until my knuckles blanched, as if I could physically wrench the night from my bones.

"Just a performance," I reminded myself, spitting the acid taste from my mouth. A lie. A trick. But my stomach rebelled anyway.

FLASHBACK TO YESTERDAY NIGHT

I stood in front of Alpha Gideon’s door, wanting more than anything to race back to the comfort of my room back in the cottage. Shaking my head, I removed such thoughts from my mind, knowing that nothing good would come out of ‘not representing Alpha Brian well.’

I raised my hand to knock, but he must have sensed my presence because the door flew open suddenly.

The next thing I knew, a pair of meaty hands yanked me inside the room. My shoulder slammed against the wall, causing pain to radiate down my spine.

“You’re late,” Alpha Gideon growled, his breath reeking of whiskey and rot. He was already naked, his bloated body glistening in the moonlight.

I forced my voice to be steady, flashing him a sultry smile. “Apologies, Alpha. I was preparing for our time together.”

He didn’t care. His fingers tangled in my hair, wrenching my head back as he pressed slobbering kisses to my neck. I stiffened, my skin crawling with revulsion, but I didn’t pull away… not yet.

“You smell like honey,” he slurred, pawing at my dress. The potion was working. Normally I smelled of jasmine and citrus.

Alpha Gideon tugged at the hem of my dress impatiently. I twisted free, my hands trembling as I ‘helped’ him strip me. He ripped the dress off, but I barely felt it as his hands found my breasts, kneading them roughly.

I gasped in pain as he pinched my nipples hard. He must have taken my gasp as approval, as he repeated the action on the other breast.

Groaning, I twisted free, not wanting my breasts to be sore by morning. I turned my attention to him, sliding my fingers down his chest till I found his raging member, squeezing softly as I placed peppering kisses on his chest. He groaned as I slid my fingers up and down his shaft. Precum spilled from his tip as I continued my action relentlessly until he was a moaning mess.

I found one of his nipples, flicking it with my tongue while massaging his member. Alpha Gideon shuddered, releasing deep groans as I continued my assault on his other nipple before I moved down, taking his dick in my mouth.

I sucked and teased till cum spurted from his member, dripping down my mouth to my breasts. I watched as he shuddered, trying to come down from the pleasure I gave him.

I moved to the bed and gently patted the space next to me. Alpha Gideon staggered to the bed before lying on it. Wasting no time, I climbed on him, rocking my hips back and forth, allowing his dick to rub against my pussy.

I pressed my body flush to him as I rocked, taking his nipple in my mouth once more. It didn’t take long for the potion to completely engulf him. I eased my body from his, knowing that he won’t be able to tell anyway.

I looked down, watching a so-called alpha writhing in pleasure, thrusting wildly as he succumbed to the potion’s hallucinations.

I was jolted back to reality by the sharp knocks rapping against the front door. I scrambled to my feet, barely making it to the living room before the door slammed open. I watched in shock as Alpha Brian stood at the doorway with the door barely hanging by the hinges.

Judging by the look on his face, this morning wasn’t going to be a pleasant one.

I shuffled into the living room as he finally entered the house, kicking the door shut behind him, rattling the already fragile hinges.

I lowered my head, rolling my eyes at his overbearing behavior. A snarl erupted from his throat as he moved faster than I blinked, closing the space between us as he once again pinned me to the wall with a vice grip on my neck.

“You whore, you never cease to amaze me,” he growled, pulling my face closer to his. I winced, ignoring the foul stench of his breath hitting my face.

With his grip on my neck tightening, I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Alpha Brian has always been avaricious, spiteful, and invidious. He believes he owns me, but he always sends me to satisfy other Alphas. And when the Alphas are pleased, he comes to my home to prove his dominance over me… to humiliate me for daring to satisfy another man.

“You greedy whore, you dared to seduce another man… to offer your body to him,” he roared dangerously, his green eyes darkened as he glared at me.

I didn’t reply, knowing that nothing I said would assuage his wrath. I crumbled at his feet when he finally released his grip on my neck.

“Get on your knees and suck my cock,” he commanded, his tone deadly.

Pulling myself to kneel in an upright position, I raised my hands gently, ignoring the pain in my shoulder as I reached for his buckle, unfastening it, letting his pants drop down to his ankle.

His organ sprang free. Short, fat, and erect, glowering at me with viciousness.

No matter how many times this has happened, I still didn’t want this repulsive thing anywhere near me. It disgusted me.

I angled my mouth closer to his penis, licking the tip. Alpha Brian held my head forcefully, thrusting his cock into my mouth. I reluctantly closed my mouth around his repulsive member, moving my head gently.

“That’s it, wench, suck my dick like the slut you are.” I gagged as he pumped his disgusting dick into my mouth relentlessly. I felt my eyes spin and my throat constrict at the brutal force with which he was pounding into my mouth.

My stomach churned, and I gagged, coming dangerously close to throwing up, especially when his dick hit the back of my throat.

Thrust, “How dare you spread your legs for another man?” Thrust, “I own you,” he growled, barreling his dick further with more fury.

“Fuck, I’m going to come,” his voice sounded distant. Then his sperm came down my throat; I forced myself to swallow to prevent choking.

Alpha Brian pulled his pants up, tucking his flaccid dick in as I cleaned the rest of his cum from my mouth. I stumbled to my feet slowly as Alpha Brian’s heated gaze followed my movements.

“I want you dressed and in the pack house in 10 minutes. I have a special assignment for you.” He ordered after a few seconds of silence. “Don’t make me wait for you or else…”

“Yes, Alpha,” I replied indignantly. Alpha Brian finally exited the cottage, leaving me to wonder what kind of assignment he had for me.

With a sigh, I glanced round the room, grateful that Mom was busy working and would never know that Alpha Brian was here. After the first time he had selected me to satisfy another alpha, Mom attacked Alpha Brian, earning her a week in the dungeon. I have learned to keep this a secret.

I quickly cleaned up, removing the last bit of Alpha Brian’s mess before I left home, dressed in a faded, baggy T-shirt and a pair of joggers. Locking up, I proceeded on the journey to the pack house, knowing that for any minute I’m late, my mom would get punished.

Ignoring the decorations and festivity going on in the pack house, I slipped up the stairs to Alpha Brian’s office. Today is the blue moon ceremony, which I have never had the privilege of celebrating because I’m wolfless.

I knocked, pausing for a moment to steel myself. “Come in,” Alpha Brian growled from inside. Blowing out a breath, I opened the door, entered, and turned to face the man who summoned me.

Alpha Brian sat at his desk with Beta Daniel and Gamma Chris occupying the chairs in front of him. “Come here.” He ordered without looking up from the sets of papers he was reading.

Leaving the comfort of the door, I moved closer to him, stopping only when I reached his table. “Take this,” he said, tossing the papers he was previously reading at me. I took it, confused as I peered at a picture of a necklace with a dark metal pendant shaped like a wolf curled around a luminescent gemstone.

I lift my head to ask the burning question, but he beats me to it. “As you know, today is the blue moon ceremony, and of course I’m the only prestigious alpha that can host the ceremony.”

I nodded, wondering where he was going with this self-adulation. Knowing not to interrupt him, I tuned him out as he went on and on about his importance to the kingdom and the Lycan prince.

“… you’re to take this necklace from the rooms of one of the guests,” he concluded, glaring at me.

“Alpha, you can’t possibly expect me to steal from one of the guests.” I gasped, shocked at his audacity. When he said he has a special assignment for me, this wasn’t what I expected.

Alpha Brian growled, “When I give an order, you don’t question it.” He stood, peering dangerously at me. I averted my gaze; there was no way I was stealing from one of the ranked guests. That’s tantamount to having a bounty on my head.

“I knew you’d be difficult, which is why I prepared a little something for you,” he chuckled as he gestured to Beta Daniel and Gamma Chris, who followed him, pulling me out of the office in a tight hold.

This entire situation was absurd; it didn’t take long before we reached our destination, and I finally understood what Alpha Brian meant.

There kneeling in the dimly lit cell with blood pooling from different parts of her body was my mother. My heart leaped to my throat at the sight.

I couldn’t believe that my mom was here, beaten and bloodied in this cell. I tried to shrug Gamma Chris’ hold on me tightened as I watched a warrior use the belt on her back.

I yelled for him to stop, but Alpha Brian only smirked. “For every word of defiance, every act of insubordination, she pays,” he said, ordering the warrior to keep hitting her.

Falling to my knees, “STOP!” I yelled, unable to bear the sight, “I’d take what you want.”

Alpha Brian raised his hand, gesturing the warrior to stop. “Next time, when I ask you to jump, you ask how high,” he growled. “I’m not a patient man, wench; get me the necklace this night, or she dies.”

I just sat there, tears pooling down my eyes as I watched my mom’s unconscious body. Time passed as I watched her. I stood up finally, making my way out of the dungeon, ready to get the necklace.

Consequences be damned, I wasn’t going to let my mom spend another minute in there if I could help it.
