Samantha

I woke up with a gasp, and squinted at the brightness that hit my eyes.

Where was I?

I blinked, taking in the unfamiliar room that smelled distinctly familiar.

I knew that smell...

"You are awake." A cold voice said, causing me to turn my head sharply to the direction it was coming from.

Alpha Gabriel.

One look at him, and the memory of what had happened before I lost consciousness hit.

I immediately tried to lift myself off the bed, feeling strangely energized, but Gabriel's voice stopped me.

"You might want to take it easy. The pack healer gave you a calming solution, but don't abuse it or else you will find yourself on the floor in seconds." he stated dryly. "And trust me, I would rather you not fall into my arms again, except it's naked, and ready to carry my pups."

My mouth dropped open, and I had a hard time closing it.

I knew I should be disgusted by what he had just said to me, but heat seared low in the pit of my stomach, and in a bid to quench it, I jolted off the bed, disregarding what he had said about the calming solution.

"I will do no such thing. I have been lied about, rejected, and laughed at...You name it!" I blinked, gesturing wildly. "But I will not be used as a vessel to bear pups. I am more than that!"

I knew I shouldn't be talking to an alpha that way, let alone an Alpha king. But I was done with them all.

Heck, I hadn't even had the time to grieve or let out all that was burning deep inside of me, yet here he was, in his handsome glory, telling me I had to give him pups.

Gabriel was in front of me in an instant. "You think you have a choice?" His tone was low, icy even, and sent chills down my spine, but I stood completely still.

Blue eyes met mine, and I could see the storm clash behind them.

"I am Alpha King, and you will do my bidding, whether you want to or not. And trust me, you will want to." he finished, his tongue darting out to lick his full lip.

That simple move had another swarm of heat making its way around my already heated stomach.

"You can't ask this from me, Alpha. I am not your mate." I hated how my tone came across as pleading, hated that my body was reacting to this man.

He was so close. Too close for me to think.

I could literally feel the warmth oozing out of his huge body and wrapping around me.

And his scent...

"You do not need to be my mate before you give yourself to me, Sam. Your body, your soul, it's all mine, if I want it, and I do want it." I saw him swallow, then saw his gaze flicker lightly.

I literally shook from his words, confusion swirling in me as my body reacted differently from what I expected it to do.

My eyes zeroed in on his lips, and my own mouth suddenly watered.

A forbidden thought rushed through me and I gasped.

I blinked, looking away and taking a small step back, only to encounter the bed.

Fuck.

"I can't. My dignity_"

Gabriel interrupted me, taking a step forward as hand wrapped itself around my waist, and pulled me closer, pressing me against him.

Half of my brain cells quit working as soon as I came in contact with him.

"Trust me, your dignity is mine." he murmured, just before his lips crashed onto mine.

At first I went completely still, my whole body growing cold in shock.

I had to be imagining it.

Maybe I was still unconscious and Alpha Gabriel didn't have me in his arms. Didn't have his lips moulding against mine in a way that made my toes curl.

Maybe if I slapped myself I'll wake up.

But the stinging pain as he bit into my bottom lip slammed me back to reality.

Only, instead of pushing him away as I knew I should, I closed my eyes and parted my lips, immediately moaning when his tongue slipped into my mouth.

My hands immediately went to his hair, and I forgot all common sense, molding into him like my life depended on it.

It did.

And at the moment, I didn't want it any other way.

He tasted like whiskey, and honey, and something else that just made me want more. Our teeth clashed as the kiss went from slow to demanding.

He took, and I gave without abandon.

His hair slid between my fingers like soft silk, and unable to stop myself I took a handful and pulled, making him growl into my mouth and pull me closer.

Fuck.

Something hard twitched and pressed against my lower belly and I almost went insane with the idea of him spreading me on the bed and taking me over and over again.

Ad if hearing my thoughts, Gabriel growled, sliding his hand downwards and cupping a handful of my ass, then squeezing it. Shot of pleasure hit my pussy, making me grind hard against him.

Just when I thought I couldn't take anymore, he pulled away, breaking the kiss.

I peeled my eyes open, and met his blue-grey ones, biting my lip when I saw something raw and hot pooling in them like ice cold lava.

"Be my breeder, Samantha. And in return, I'll give you the pleasure your body is yearning for." Gabriel's voice was barely above a whisper, but was deep. "And no, I'm not giving you a choice."

I took one look at his hair which was disheveled from how much I had pulled and run my fingers through it, to his lips which were red and swollen, courtesy of me, and with every will I could muster, pulled away from him.

I was half expecting him to hold on to me, and felt disappointment when he let me go.

"I..I.." Words failed me.

And that was because he had been right about one thing.

My body yearned for him, even if I knew I shouldn't.

And then there was the fact that he was not giving me a choice.

Gabriel cleared his throat. His eyes growing hard. "You have twelve hours to go home, pack your things, and come back to the alpha's mansion."
