The Bully Alpha's Fake Alpha Mate (BL)-Chapter 55: THE HUNT

REED

My rut hit the second the full moon rose. The transformation tore through me, my bones breaking, my muscles reforming and through it all, the rut burned hotter and hotter until I thought I might combust. Then my wolf form caught the scent.

Omega in heat and not just an Omega heat but an unmated Omega, and it was close and my wolf reacted like every damn alphas would, I chased after the unmated omega on heat.

Then suddenly, I caught the scent properly and I froze as the familiar scent wrapped me. My wolf form went rigid and the realisation hit me hard

No it couldn’t be, I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply again to be sure and it was that sweet pheromones filled the air and pulled me towards it. My eyes snapped open as realization dawned on me.

The omega in heat was no other person than Asher Graham. My Asher Graham.

I smile because now everything is becoming clear. My suspicions. All the weeks of questioning. The confusion about Asher’s scent. The way my body had been reacting and I’d been right, and the triggering of my rut was all because Asher was an Omega, and he was in heat.

The knowledge settled into my bones with absolute certainty. My wolf form recognized what my human mind had been dancing around for weeks, and now there was no more doubt, no more confusion, only need.

Every rational thought vanished, there was no Reed Jackson anymore, no Academy student and no Alpha with control or power, there was just only the wolf, and the wolf needed to find that Omega.

I took off running before my shift was even complete. My paws hit the ground, the forest blurred around me and all I could process was the scent trail leading me forward. The sweet, warm and intoxicating pheromones that smelled like Mine.

Other wolves were running too. I could hear them, smell them. All following the same scent trail.

A growl rumbled in my chest, they needed to back off. This Omega was mine. My rut and my wolf had decided. My body had claimed them before I even saw them.

I ran faster, pushed ahead of the pack. I let my size and strength carry me forward. The scent was getting stronger and closer.

Asher Graham the omega, I knew it was Asher because my instincts never lied and now finally I had proof of what my body had been telling me all along and then I burst into a clearing and saw them.

Small wolf, silver-gray fur, pressed against the ground trembling surrounded by other Alphas. All circling and all wanting him. Which made rage explode through me.

I howled, the sound tore from my throat with enough force to shake the trees and every wolf in the clearing froze. I pushed through them, bared my teeth and made my dominance clear.

Mine. Back off. Now.

Most of them retreated. Some whined and a few growled but didn’t challenge. I stalked toward the Omega. My eyes locked on their trembling form.

Asher, my beautiful sexy Asher. The one who invaded my thoughts, my dreams and my entire existence.

My wolf form recognized them instantly now. No more confusion and no more doubt. This was Asher Graham, my enemy and my obsession.

My Omega.

I lowered my head, scented them properly and let their pheromones flood my system.

Perfect, everything my body had been craving. They were perfect and they were mine. I bit down gently on their throat, claiming and possessing them.

A brown wolf growled, and challenged me. I spun and met them mid-leap. We crashed together, rolled across the clearing. My teeth found their throat and I held them there until they submitted then I turned back to Asher.

My Omega.

Mine. Mine to claim and breed tonight.

ASHER

Reed won the fight and now he was stalking back towards me with blood on his muzzle and possession in his eyes.

I tried to move, I tried to crawl away but my body wouldn’t obey. The heat had me completely paralyzed. All I could do was lie there and watch as Reed approached.

His wolf form was massive and terrifying. All muscle and dominance and Alpha. He lowered his head to my throat again. He scented me and licked along my jaw.

Then his teeth found my scruff and he grabbed hold. I whimpered and my wolf form went completely limp, submitting to him.

Reed dragged me, not rough but firm. He was moving me away from the other wolves, away from the clearing and deeper into the forest, he was taking me somewhere private. Somewhere he could claim me properly.

Terror spiked through me and I tried to struggle. I tried to make my legs work but Reed’s grip tightened on my scruff. A warning growl rumbled through his chest.

’Fucking submit and stop fighting me. You’re mine now, little wolfie.’ I heard him say and my body went limp, completely submitting to him because there was no hope in fighting anymore because he would never let me go.

We reached another clearing, smaller and more secluded and Reed released my scruff and I collapsed onto the ground, panting and my whole body was shaking. The heat was unbearable now and Reed’s scent was everywhere making it worse and making my body respond in ways I couldn’t control. Reed circled me once, twice assessing and possessing, then suddenly he shifted.

The transformation was quick, efficient and then Reed Jackson stood there in human form. Naked and covered in sweat. His eyes are wild with rut but human enough to speak.

"I was right," Reed said. His voice was rough and barely controlled. "You’re an Omega."

I whimpered and tried to shift back to human form but my wolf form wouldn’t let me. The heat had me locked in place. Reed took a step closer. "I knew it. Your scent. The way my body reacted. I fucking knew it." He said, his hand rubbing on my fur for a brief second before stopping.

"Shift," Reed commanded. Alpha authority flooded the word and my body obeyed immediately. The transformation hurt worse this time. My bones reformed, my muscles rebuilt and then I was human again.

I was naked, covered in slick and burning with heat. I tried to cover myself, I tried to curl into a ball and hide but Reed grabbed my wrists and pinned them above my head. His body covered mine.

"Please," I gasped. "Please don’t expose me. I’ll do anything. Just don’t tell anyone. Don’t—"

"Too late for that." Reed’s eyes bored into mine. "Your scent flooded the entire forest. Every wolf at this Academy knows there’s an Omega here now."

"B-but they don’t know it’s me—"

"I know it’s you." Reed’s grip on my wrists tightened. "And that’s all that matters."

His other hand came to my throat possessively and claiming.

"You’re mine now, Asher," Reed said quietly. "Completely."
