The Omega Secret (Book Four of the Omega Game Series)

Chapter 13

Didoka

The North Islands

Present day…

There were places and there were libraries.

Beautiful, perfectly artificial heavens of pages, words and dust. For as long as I could remember I’d been compelled to have a book in my hands, eyes on the words and knowledge coursing into my mind like spells. A book was magic and I was addicted to its power. The bigger the library was, the more at home I felt. I've visited numerous libraries across the world. Hell, I’d shaved my head and posed as a monk to be welcomed into the Hidden Library, one of the greatest, vastest collections of books in the world. I thought I would never see such an imposing collection as the one protected by the Order of Silence at Naccanash. I’d been wrong. 

I walked inside the room finally understanding why Kun had created such a high palace. It had been tall to store the numerous levels of floors, covered by wood shelves and lines of books. Glorious, infinite copies of books that filled the space with the splendid scent of paper and ink. By the Gods I was in Heaven. I’ve died and gone straight to the place I deserved. I couldn’t see the end of the floors, full of bookshelves and so many books. Books in the corners, books made into mountains, books cornering columns. I could even see books around a small area with a desk, a comfy looking chair and a wide, extravagant carpet made of sheep fur. Apart from those three distinctive pieces of furniture the rest of it all were books. Books. Just books. I wanted to laugh. I wanted to cry. I wanted to fall on my knees and demand to never be taken away from this place…

Wait. 

I turned around fast, facing Kun with a frown. He had been already staring down at me, his slate eyes watching my every move, hungrily assessing my expressions. I crossed my arms over the white shirt he had given me. It was huge and smelt musky, covered in Kun’s scent but it was a layer of protection. A very important layer of protection between my nakedness and his eyes. Kun’s left eye ticked while he looked at my arms and then he clenched his jaw, looking up to the endless floors of the tower.

“You are happy, princess,” he said evenly, not too high nor too low, controlled and in power, “I knew this place would be of your liking.”

“And that is why you built this, isn’t it right? To keep me satisfied,” I said, narrowing my eyes, knowing too well this tower was his ultimate move, the one reason to make me stay even if I didn’t want to. Kun ignored me altogether, focusing his eyes on a book resting over the desk and walking to it. I had no business liking the way his hands looked, picking up a book, opening it and passing a page. I shouldn’t like such an easy action, granted by an Alpha that had been trained into the military since he was a toddler. And still I felt my stomach grow lighter while I watched Kun staring down at the book in his hands, moving his eyes over the first page while his fingers looked powerful and illogically sensual over the brown cover.

“I built this entire place for reasons that don't concern you, princess Aldidokala,” said Kun, not even sparing me a look, keeping his attention on the book in his hand, “It’s curious how you think I need a tower to keep you satisfied. Last time I checked you required only my c**k between your legs, ramming inside that tight cunt that is at this very moment gushing for me.”

I gasped and pushed my thighs close together. Damn him! He was right. I was aroused. I had been since he had picked that book between his hands. I’d never seen something as perfect. The most wonderful mix of power and intellect, of Alpha and knowledge merging together. You have seen other Alphas reading before...I squeezed my eyes close, ignored those intrusive thoughts and looked away from Kun, trying to control the scent of my shameful reaction to him. 

Gods, his words were playing in a loop in my mind! I’d always known Kun was the one brother that cursed the most and used crass language, but I’d never, ever imagined his tongue turned so dirty in the topics of mating. What was even worse was the fact I’d never reacted that strongly to an Alpha before. It was reckless, illogical and mortifying. I was not falling victim to my own Instinct. It was just a reaction, nothing more and nothing less. A simple, silly reaction.

I focused on the books and on the infinite amount of floors full of them. Such an impressive collection couldn’t simply appear out of nowhere. I also knew that Kun wouldn't have been able to transcribe all those copies in a year. It was simply impossible, even for him, a God of the old times. How could this place exist? And more importantly, why did I never know of it? Kun had come into the power of an amazing library and I was terribly jealous and irritated by this fact. I wanted to know all about it. How did he make it possible? Where do these books come from? Why had he taken his time creating a place to collect them? Why did he care at all? Kun was more interested in the Maccana army and military life than he was about books. Why had he made a library now? Why now of all times? 

With a sigh I turned my back to him, eyeing the nearest bookshelf hungrily. I hadn’t read in days and my body was going into withdrawal. My fingers were itching to pick the nearest book and smell it. Just sniff it, devour it with my eyes, feel it under the tip of my fingers and…

“Go ahead, you can explore this place if that’s what you want,” said Kun, suddenly at my back. He had been several steps away and had moved so fast that I hadn’t heard him coming. I gasped in surprise, my shoulders raising all the way to my ears. The air between us turned heavy, decadently humid. I could feel his eyes over my body, staring at it through the thin shirt he had given me. The knowledge made me equally angry and thirsty for more. More attention, more nearness, more friction...but his words were dangerous. He was dangerous.

“What do you gain from it?” I asked in a breathy voice I couldn’t recognize as my own. Kun’s large body reached closer, his scent engulfing me in a cloud of his powerful musk. The heat of his skin, so close to mine, was like a sun that wanted to burn me down gently. Deceitfully gently… as it were Kun’s games of push and pull.

I felt more than I saw his wolfish smile, fangs bared and eyes fixed on me.

“Who says I’m the only one that has to win something,” he said in my ear, his breath spicy like wine and inviting against the shell of my ear. A moan was hanging from my lips, my body was thrown into high alarm by his words, his nearness, the power surging from underneath his skin. I realized too late I had taken a step back and now I was right against him, my ass plastered to his muscular thigh. Kun moved fast then, one of his powerful hands closing possessively over one of my ass cheeks and pushing me tighter against him. I moaned, hating myself for giving away with that simple sound, how desperate for his touch I really was. Kun’s hold tightened even harder when he gulped the scent of my neck, his lips almost touching my skin, “I could have you in fours right now. Your tiny, pink cunt open and ready for my c**k. I bet  you will even scream for more while I mount you so hard and deep that my name is the only thing your lips will touch. Don’t be a fool princess, I’m gaining as much as you are winning here. You are just afraid that you will like it too much to ask me nicely for what you want.”

Kun moved away then, leaving me breathing hard, my thoughts tangled and disorganized. I touched my flaming cheeks with the back of my hands while I watched him walk away, undisturbed, all cold. I realized just then he had been controlling himself during dinner. Kun could have easily seduced me before, instead he had refrained himself, opting to wait until now to show me how utterly in control he was of this entire situation. Which meant he was soon going to reveal some of his grand plans to me. If I had half of Kun's s****l expertise I would have used it on him too. Throw him off, shake his foundation before striking for the win. I needed to be prepared, aware of his manipulative techniques. With a frown I took a step back, eyeing him while Kun stopped by a nearby bookshelf and rested a shoulder against it, watching me with a cold gaze.

 “I want something from you,” he said then, flipping the tables once again and making me narrow my eyes, trying to understand his change in tactics. Was he being honest now or was just another estratagema to make me think he was opening up before trapping me in his twisted games? I sighed and started enumerating all the things he could possibly want from me.

“I read and speak numerous languages,” I said with a shrug, since he already knew this, “ I know a little bit about a new mathematical subject called mechanical engineering, medical research of course, herbology, mathematics, philosophy, history and…” 

“I want your cunt,” he growled over my voice and his words resonated over the library like a curse. I gulped with my mouth still open and my eyes widened by the shock. Kun’s flinty eyes focused on my body, giving me a hungry stare that made my n*****s harden and my heart beat faster, “Accept this, princess. You want to give me your cunt so badly that I can scent you all the way here. Your slit sounds empty, gushing all that slick for my c**k while you try so pathetically hard to fight your Instinct. It’s frankly laughable how hard you try, princess.”

I shook my head at him, not even recognizing who he was anymore. The Kun that I knew, my friend and protector would have never said that to me. I couldn’t understand this. Was my crime so punishable? Were my intentions so cruel that I merited this treatment? I refused to believe so. I refused to be called pathetic, laughable...a cunt. I was so much more than those things and the worst part was that he knew it. Kun knew it and still he was pushing me, pressuring me into being something that he could so easily control and bend. Crossing my arms I looked him in the eyes, not taking another step back. His head tilted to the side, following my move, like a predator about to jump on his prey.

He was not telling me everything. Yes, I could feel the truth in his words. Yes, I could scent his arousal, all Alpha and dominant even from afar...but that wasn’t all that he wanted from me and we both knew it.

“Even if my body reacts the way it does to you, that only means we are physically compatible. An Omega and an Alpha. You growl and I submit. You want and I give. You push and I kneel. That’s all that will ever happen between us. If that’s what you want then take it,” I said with a shrug, appearing ten times more confident than what I felt. Kun’s gray eyes narrowed on me, his body tensing.

“You really thought I would fall for that?” he asked me, a growl stuck on his chest that made the entire place quake. Kun clicked his tongue, appearing...amused, “You are so curious, little princess. Trying to trick me into saying what I really want from you. I say I want your cunt and you look for all the reasons behind my words. I say you want my c**k and you justify your own behavior with facts. I want your cunt, all the time, everywhere. I want to f**k you until there is no space in your body I haven’t knotted and filled with my c*m. So simple like that.”

“I don’t want to hear another word,” I said cuttingly, turning around and trying hard to ignore how my eyes were prickling from all the unshed tears I was holding, “Please take me back to my brother.”

“There is an extensive floor in this library dedicated to the Neutralizer,” he said then, making me stop right away and look back at him with widened eyes. The Neutralizer, the only artifact capable of stopping Mourna. I’ve gathered a lot of information about the Neutralizer back in Algonala Island. It was a rare artifact from Heaven. Neither a being or an object. More like a neutral entity who had the power to determine if a God was corrupted or not. Gods couldn’t be killed but they could be transformed and I was sure the Neutralizer was the key factor to ensure we could destroy Mourna once and for all. If we got the Neutralizer we could win this war. Katala could finally be free from Mourna’s sick obsession. There will be no more monsters created by altering Alphas into beasts. There will be no more fighting. There would be peace. 

“Take me to the floor, I could start working on our research right away and we could…” Kun  moved his head to the side, staring at me down the barrel of his nose. Those metallic eyes were gleaming with dark, dangerous, twisted joy. His look was destabilizing, like an earthquake or a storm that formed too fast and too wild to escape it in time.  

“Listen carefully princess,” he said, moving a step closer, watching me with a heavy look that managed to steal all the air from my lungs, “ you have a choice to make and it’s all up to you. I can take you back to your brother right now and I will not contact you ever again. We will not see each other. It would be as if I’ve never met you. Or you could stay and help us. You could have access to all of these books and all of this knowledge...if you give me something in return.”

My nervous gulp was audible. I fisted my hands until my nails were biting against my palms angrily. I took a deep breath and faced him, “what do you want in return Kun?”

 Ah, the gloat marking his expression was one vision that will always send shudders down my back to the day of my death. Kun was relishing this moment. He was extracting every drop of pleasure from my defeat and the control he had over the entire situation. With a wave of his hand Kun started walking around me, slowly, like a lion playing with a mouse.

“You have already gone through such extreme measures to access a library, what is another sacrifice in the long scheme of things?” he stopped then, the mask of pretenses slipping from his perfectly carved face. His eyes started darkening while he covered me with a hungry look and his fangs descended. Kun blackened eyes focused on mine when he started speaking, “If you stay I will have you however I want, whenever I want it and how many times I wish for. You will be mine. Completely mine. There will be no one and nothing that could save you from me. If you try to break our deal and escape I will find you and take you twice harder. I f**k hard, but my punishments are not something you will like. This is the last time I give you a choice, so think wisely princess.”

I thought before that Kun had changed. I’d been wrong. The evilness lurking behind his eyes had already been there all along, waiting for the right spark to awaken him. I’d been the unlucky incitor. And this was my punishment. Choices? There was not such a thing as choices when an Alpha wanted an Omega. My choice had been taken away from me the day I decided to cross Kun son of Wolf.
