“Please call us if you need anything,” Sin called after me, his breathing heavy, looking at me with eyes that were too soft for what I’d just done. “I don’t want you to go through your heat alone.”

I couldn’t listen to him anymore. It was even worse that he was speaking so kindly.

“It’s not about what you want,” I replied, lost in the sight of his face twisted in pain, his fingers digging into his chest like he was trying to rip out his heart.

Caspian reached for Kai, who batted his hand away, both of them still glaring at me

“I really can’t wait to see you again.” Sin sounded genuine, but it just upset me even more.

I was at the door before he’d even finished speaking. I didn’t want to look around, but I needed to make a point.

“If that’s true, maybe you could have just asked me to stay instead of…this.” I lifted the card, my brow furrowing at the hurt running through me. I threw a glance at the bed, sending them a scowl as I kicked at the door. I prayed that no one would catch me or my scent as I shot through it. I gripped my bra and leggings to my chest, awkwardly pinning the front of my dress together as I fled through the corridor, down the stairs, and on to the car park.

Imadeitoutofthe main gates of the Spa no problem. There was a beta security guard who couldn’t scent me or notice I was in heat. I just flashed him my ID through my car window and he waved me through the giant wrought-iron gates.

I thought they’d stop me and force me to report to the office because I’d been missing for so long, but he didn’t even blink.

It was a thirty-minute drive from the Spa to my flat. Even though it was on the north-west side of London, it was close enough to work that I should make it back before things got too bad.

Driving in the dark on winding country lanes, sweat poured down my body, and the windows steamed up because I was panting so hard. Couple that with my messy tears and the tremors of pain left from the rejection, and I was a car crash waiting to happen.

Their scents filled my car, like they had embedded themselves in my skin. It only made the heat burning through my body even worse.

I just had to keep my hands on the wheel and keep biting my lip to stay focused.

I’d spent half a day fucking complete strangers, but I couldn’t let that ruin my life. I had to find a way through it like I always did.

Omegas were more restricted on where they could go, what jobs they could have, and where they could live. I rented a room in a beta-only block of flats. Only alphas and betas could work as staff at Knottinghill, and only registered omegas could buy scent and heat blockers.

I didn’t know how I rejected them. I didn’t mean to hurt them, or myself. But their words had pierced me too deeply.

I’d read about rejection before, how scent matches could break the connection before a bite. After a bite, when the bond had already been established, they called it cleaving. With cleaving, a person forcibly removed themselves from the pack bond, which carried a high chance of death and madness. But I’d only split myself from Sin and Caspian. I could still feel Kai’s presence inside me, though something had definitely broken between us.

I’d read that the physical pain of rejection didn’t last, even though my heart felt crushed. Just driving away from them was tearing a hole inside me. And the only thing that could fill it was their cocks.

I drove on in the dark, my vision blurring as my heat took me over again. All my newly awakened senses were telling me to return to the alphas and omega who made my body sing.

I’d only been driving for fifteen minutes, but I needed to stop. I was too hot, and my pussy stung from being fucked so hard, so sitting was uncomfortable.

As soon as I saw a lay-by, I pulled over and kept the engine running.

I wanted to be practical about my situation, but I still couldn’t believe it had happened.

Even when I dived under my skirt and pushed my fingers against my soaking pussy, I couldn’t believe it. Or when I roughly tugged my nipple through the gap in my ragged dress, or spread my legs as far as they could go, hooking my foot on the door, closing my eyes, need burning through me as I thought of the way Caspian had thrust inside me, I couldn’t believe it.

Sin’s soft voice, Kai’s cruel smile, Caspian’s growl as he kissed me and made me come.

I was in heat. I was in heat and masturbating at the side of the road in the dark because I needed a cock so badly I was ready to jump on the next alpha that drove past.

I pressed my fingers inside myself, crying out as I stretched deeper, just imagining the way I’d sucked on Kai until he came. How Caspian thrust so hard inside me I screamed under him. And the pain in Sin’s eyes as I broke the scent match bond between us.

But it still wasn’t enough. I shoved my free hand in my pocket, searching for the fancy card Sin gave me. A whimper dropped from my lips as I pushed it against my nose, inhaling what little I could of his scent.

My warm slick was thick around my fingers, but I still hoped Caspian and Kai’s cum stayed inside me.

Even as another orgasm built, there was a part of me yelling that this couldn’t be real, that it wasn’t possible that I was in heat.
