The Alpha's Omega Mate-Chapter 54: Decisions.

~Dahlia’s POV~

Just as expected, he led me to his chambers and as soon as we arrived, he gently dropped me into the plush bed and took a step back. I instinctively moaned in displeasure when the warmth of his body left with him.

I suddenly felt so cold without his hovering frame. So empty. A groan slipped past my lips as goosebumps spread across my skin. And as if noticing my discomfort, he draped a fur blanket over my body and I cried out, when the uncomfortable material grated over my skin.

Now, my heat has probably reached its peak because my body throbbed with so much pain, and so much horniness that I sobbed uncontrollably whilst grinding myself against the soft material of the bed; writhing and cursing when it did nothing to tame my taut hormones. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

I vaguely felt Alpha Zarek’s eyes on me, I barely heard his voice when he worriedly asked; "What can I do for you?" But I definitely felt it when he placed a palm over my now burning forehead and whispered; "You’re burning up!"

I simply nodded as I was far too gone to make out words. Tears seeped into my eyes from the pain coursing through my bones and sweat poured out of my skin in torrents so high, I was sure I would soak this bed through and through if I wasn’t taken off it in a few minutes.

Another tremor ran up my body and with a soft cry, I latched my fingers around Alpha Zarek’s and whispered; "Help me."

"Dahlia?" His voice was strained... tight, as if it was taking all of him to speak. "Can you—?"

"No, I cannot!" I snapped, interrupting him. "Help me! If you cannot help me, send me to someone who can!" I cried out in anguish just as an emotion akin to despair fleeted across his face.

"Dahlia no, you’re not you right now and you’ll hate me by the time you come out of this haze if I do what you ask of me."

But I shook my head, crying and moaning; "Please."

"Let me send someone to get some of those damn suppressants!" He rushed out, his voice panicked. "Give me a second!"

And again, I shook my head, knowing it was of no use anymore. My heat was at its peak and those goddamn vials would do nothing to help me. I opened my mouth slowly to tell him this, to beg him one more time to help me out of this pain, but no words came out.

Nothing.

I couldn’t speak anymore and could only shake violently as more heatwaves crashed into me until all I could do was cry and whimper.

"Arghh!!!" Another scream tore through the back of my throat when pain like no other hit my midriff and I spasmed, shaking violently as tears continued to pour down my face.

I remembered looking into a stormy set of green eyes before my body began to jerk violently and then I slumped, sighing in defeat as I slipped into unconsciousness.

~Zarek’s POV~

My heart constricted in my chest as Dahlia’s painful wails resonated around the room. I couldn’t bring myself to look at her anymore, especially with the amount of pain I was sure as hell that she was going through at the moment.

And do you know what is worse?

The way she looked at me like I’m some sort of saviour. The way her eyes pleaded with me to take her... to mate with her; But I couldn’t bring myself to. Especially not after the event with Nyx and how I still haven’t forgiven myself for it.

I was snapped out of my reverie when a pain-filled groan sounded just beside me and my eyes widened when I realized that she had woken up... again.

"Fuck!" I grunted, moving away to soak a piece of towel into a bath of cold water, and when it was soaked through enough, I wrung out the water from the material and slipped back into the room to place the cloth over her burning head.

She sighed, her eyes fluttering open; "Thank you."

But I couldn’t respond, especially not when I knew exactly what she needed. Especially when I was certain that I couldn’t help her with that. I rose from the bed to move away from her but halted in my tracks when her sweaty hands shot out to grab my hand.

She whispered; "Please..." my heart broke. "I beg you. I would never hold it against— argghhh!" Another ear-shattering scream tore out from the back of her throat as she arched her back against the bed, panting as pain shredded her entire being into pieces.

She’s an Omega... She’s weak. She probably cannot go on like this for much longer.

My heart felt torn within its confines as I witnessed her scream and writhe in pain while my conscience bugged me incessantly against taking her. This wasn’t her will... this was just an effect of the moon goddess’ curse on our people.

Despite these conflicting thoughts, one thing was certain: I couldn’t watch her suffer.

So fuck it all. Fuck conscience and Nyx, and everyone else! My mate was in pain and knowing that I cannot continue to watch her slip in and out of consciousness as pain wracked her body, I made my decision.

With a resigned sigh, I peeled my tunic off my sweaty body and joined her in bed, letting out a sigh when her satisfied purr rang out.

Her arms found my neck and before I could react or think this decision through, she slammed her lips against mine, making a low rumble emanate from my chest as waves of pleasure slammed into me, causing my once flaccid manhood to awake with vengeance.

She moaned against my lips, the sound feeling like music to my ears.

’She wants me close... She wants this.’

These were the thoughts I deluded myself with as I pulled her into myself, whilst ignoring the way my wolf rejoiced at the feel of her soft flesh against ours. And at the smell of her arousal clouding our senses.

Hades, I only hope I do not regret this come morning!
