We get out of the car and enter the hotel again, this time to ask for a suite. Even though Alfa wants me to stay with him, I ask for a shared suite as I said, earning an annoyed look from him.
The girl at the front desk is so nervous about Alfa's presence that her fingers are shaking and she can't press the keys. I totally understand what she's feeling because I feel the same way.
Maybe it's exciting to think about being with a werewolf but this won't be just a fun fantasy, what I read about ruts isn't simple at all. A werewolf is their most aggressive being at the time, they only think about breeding and fücking and it usually works because they are doing it with another werewolf just as strong as them so no problem, but me? I've never set foot in a gym in my entire life, I don't have an ounce of muscle. I eat nothing but fast food, I get tired walking up the stairs to my apartment and the only man I've ever had sëx with was... weak and totally not as big as Rio, in any way. Our encounters were boring and 'romantic' because Niko is so sentimental it couldn't be any other way, he didn't want to make me feel like a sëx toy. That seemed cute at the time, but now I realize how lame it was.
So no, I'm not ready for this.
"How about we take some time apart?" I ask when we get to the suite, approaching the door that connects to the other room. Alpha frowns, but takes a deep breath and nods, understanding that I need to pull myself together, "When... when the rut fully starts, uh, just text me."
"Really?" he asks, "Why don't you just leave the door open? I won't do anything, I swear. I just... want to have access to you."
"Fine," I agree. I open the door and walk into the room, Alpha walks over to approach as if he wants to come in too, "You can't come in, okay? I'll come out when I'm ready. I'll leave the door open, but if you come in you will be breaking my trust."
Alpha frowns once again as if he's not thrilled to hear that either, but once again nods and walks backwards as I enter the room and take off my coat because I'm sweating now. This damn tight dress is cutting off my circulation and I don't even know why I wore it if no one saw it... just him. Granted, I only wore it for him anyway, but now I just want to take it off and put on my comfy PJs, which I don't have access to right now.
"Hey, what happened?" Rio asks suddenly, making me gasp. He doesn't notice my nerves and just walks into my room, "What did my wolf say? How did he agree to this?"
"He said he wasn't coming in here," I say, with a raised eyebrow, "He said I could trust him."
"I mean, of course, it's not like he’ll want to fück you," he says with a scoff, as if it's impossible. I narrow my eyes and cross my arms, "No offense, Luna, you know it's not personal. In rut, alphas only want an omega. It's not like you're not attractive, of course you are... you're a very pretty human, which is surprising considering how ugly everyone is, but it's still not like I could ever think about fücking you, so don't freak out. You're the last person..."
"Can you shut up?" I demand as he starts to annoy me, making him shut his mouth, "Go back to your room and leave me alone if I'm so unfuckable."
"But I'm bored and anxious," he complains and instead of heeding me, he walks over to my bed to throw himself in there. God, this guy, he’s so entitled, "My wolf calmed down a bit, I'm fine, can we be normal for a second? I just want to spend time with you, come here."
I sigh and roll my eyes. Rio doesn't make me nervous when he's just being himself, so I can deal with him for a moment. He probably wants to watch videos and hang out like we do every night before bed, and that's fine. But before I lay there with him, I decide to take off my damn dress.
"What are you doing?" he asks with wide eyes full of panic as I take it off, "I said I'm not going to fück you."
"I know that, ässhole," I complain and ball the dress up to throw it at his big head, "It was cutting off my circulation, I needed to get it off."
"Oh, right," he mumbles and nods, but I can see him bring my dress to his nose and inhale discreetly before tossing it aside. I shake my head and laugh before climbing onto the bed.
Just as I thought, Rio forces me to watch videos with him for a while as if everything is normal, but he refuses to look at me again.
I don't know how much time passes, but I'm starting to feel more comfortable, especially when Rio stops talking and I realize he's asleep. I sigh and settle down beside him to sleep as well.
When I wake up, I’m alone in bed and the whole room is illuminated because we left the curtains open.
I can feel Alpha's energy and as soon as I look up I see him, pacing back and forth outside my room. Rio's phone is still beside me so I check the time. It's seven in the morning.
"Uh... has it started already?" I ask quietly. Alpha stops pacing and stops to look at me. He's naked for some reason, so I can see his hard dïck and my nerves explode again. The normal Rio would say, 'what do you think?’ rudely, but Alpha just nods, "Okay, uhm. Okay. Okay."
"Come with me, I want you here," he commands, but I know he's not using power behind his words because I don't feel compelled to do that, "I won't touch you if you don't want me to, I just want to know you're here."
"But I am here, just a few steps away from you," I murmur with obviousness.
"No. You're in another room that I can't enter and I don't like that," he growls, his fists clenching, his chest rising and falling hard. His eyes are focused on my body, not my face, "Lunanci, you can trust me."
"From one to ten, how much do you want to fück me?"
"Ten," he answers immediately, "But I won't do it yet."
"How could you stop yourself? You'd be fighting your instincts."
"I'm fighting them right now," he answers through his teeth, "I want to walk through this door and go get you, but you told me not to so I'm stopping myself. I also know you don't have a wolf to make you strong, so you can’t handle me, I know I can't treat you like I would treat an omega if I don't want to hurt you. And I don’t. I just want to hold you close."
"And why do you even want me? Rio said an alpha only wants an omega," I fight, crossing my arms and maybe fishing for compliments a little. Sue me.
"Maybe, but that doesn't matter now because you're mine. My healer," he replies, his body twitching as if he wants to take a step, but stops again, "You're not human, not fully. Mother Nature created you, too. And she created you for me. She didn't want me to have an omega, she wanted me to have you."
"How is that possible? How do you know that?”
"I don't know, it just is," he shrugs, "I’ve known you’re mine from the first time you connected with me and I was able to talk to you directly. That couldn't happen if we weren't meant for each other. Fated."
I pause for a second to think.
Fück, I think he's wrong.
"That's it?" I ask, "You only think I'm yours because we can talk telepathically?"
"I don't know anything, Lunanci. I just feel it inside me," he explains, putting a hand on his chest, "That's enough for me."
"But... but, Alpha," I swallow. I want to tell him that doesn't mean anything, but I shut my mouth before I do. Clearly, the only reason this wolf wants me and respects me and doesn't want to kill me is because he thinks we were made for each other by Mother Nature herself.
I would be a complete ïdiot if I tell him that he’s wrong, but he is. I can connect with anyone, maybe even with other wolves. That is my gift, it’s not special to us.
But it really is in my best interest to keep that to myself.
“Okay, then. You can come in."
In less than a second he's climbing up my bed and up my body. I squeeze my eyes shut and expect him to want to grab me and wildly penetrate me or something, but he just falls on top of me and hugs me. He flips us over until I'm on top of him and then looks down at me with a smile.
"This is all I want, for now."
