Because he’s a Vampire Alpha in the true sense of the word.

And he’s going to show my father what that really means.

CHAPTER 15

MAGNUS

The only thingkeeping me from knotting my beautiful Omega for weeks is the fact that if I kill her father, I get to push her into estrus.

I get tobreedher.

I had wanted her verbal consent, so that’s why I had brought up the matter in the first place.

But her agreement had made me want to do wicked things to her.

It is unfortunate that I no longer have my necklace to suppress my bloodrage—because I imagined it would help with the rut that is riding me hard, too.

Unfortunately, I have to allow my little Omega to take on the burden of my lust and my need to breed her. If I am going to keep her alive while we infiltrate the Älva Nest, then I need my head on straight.

When my Omega is fully dressed, I mentally curse myself for giving her tight-fitting clothing that makes me want to rip it off of her. But, I could truthfully dress my Omega in a paper bag and I would still want to fuck her and cover her with my cum.

Soon,I promise myself.

Instead, I hold out a steady hand to her in offering. “Are you ready?”

She slowly nods, then takes my hand and curls into my chest. My body warms at her proximity, but she pulls my desire from me and dampens my urges the moment they arise.

I realize that it’s quite necessary for my Omega to come with me. Without her, my rut would take over, and inside an enemy nest that would result in a blood massacre that would either end up with me dead, or worse.

You’re incredible,I think.

Then I wrap us in a mist of my blood and my power, sending us to where we need to go.

My bloodmisting ability requires that I travel to places I’ve been to before. I had never been to the Ygg Nest mansion because it was a death sentence to step within miles of the place. My bloodline would be noticeable from even from a healthy distance.

While my ability to command others—particularly other vampires—has made me a feared Alpha, I can’t command mass amounts of vampires at the same time. The ability is one-on-one, and it doesn’t prevent me from being overwhelmed.

So while I had never been to the Ygg Nest, I had a little backdoor thanks to my Omega.

Like her father had used our blood-connection through Guðrún, I could do the same.

Unlike her father, I had her permission to do so.

The trip would have taken much longer without my Omega’s help. Of course, she had been there before so I had my choice of location where we would end up.

I chose to infiltrate directly into her family’s main parlor.

There was no need to be subtle about our intentions.

As the bloodmist clears, I hold Guðrún protectively against my chest while her father, mother, and two other Vampire Alphas, as well as one Beta, stare back at us.

Her father has his fingers steepeled while he leans back in his chair and the Beta kneeling on the floor has blood dripping from the bite marks on his neck and holds a mangled wrist. No one seems to mind the fact that the blood is staining what looks to be a very expensive persian carpet. While Vampire Alphas require Omega blood to be sustained, a Beta’s blood is a viable supplement.

They are also more dispensable, making them good candidates for Vampire Alphas who tend to be too violent when they feed. But only nests with a healthy mixture of cruelty and wealth can afford Beta feeders they intend to replace on a regular schedule.

The rest of the parlor looks like it did in my Omega’s mind, minus a few upgrades. I notice projection screens had been installed over the windows—an expensive technology some vampires prefer to experience other landscapes and environments. The primary purpose is usually to allow sunlight stream into the room without the harmful effects that hurt our eyes, but the projection on the windows that covers up Greenland’s landscape is a nighttime beach scene. Based on the palm trees, I’m guessing it’s a tropical location. Maybe even one of the islands in Exiled Sector.

That would serve a dual purpose. Monitor the island while also enjoying a view.
