Omega (Alpha & Omega #1)

{Chapter Four}

I sat staring stupidly at the two men. "You'll what?"

"We can let you sleep through your heat," Keon repeated. "We have the supplies necessary to put you to sleep for the entirety of the heat cycle. If we induce it, we wait an hour and a half, then put you to sleep. You'll go through your heat, but you won't be aware of it. You'll be asleep. And alone, if you're worried we'll come running the moment we smell roses."

That didn't make any sense. Why would they offer that when they purchased me for sex? Wouldn't they want me to go through it awake so I'd run to them?

"We aren't going to force you to have sex with us." It was like Cayson read my mind. "We don't do rape. If you're going to fuck us, it'll be with a clear head and it'll be your choice."

They never did give me an explanation for what happened in the entry hall, and why that girl said something about me being special. But for some reason, I was beginning to think that the two of them weren't as terrible as I first thought.

Maybe.

"What happens if you do that," I asked. "Would I just go through my heat and then wake up fine?"

"Messy," Keon tried to hide a smirk, but failed. "But yes, fine. You'll have some pretty wild dreams also, from what I heard."

I thought about it and finally nodded my head. If they were giving me the option, I wanted to go about it that way. At least with my first heat. It'd be the worst.

Keon pulled out two needles and walked over to a cabinet on the far side of the wall. He studied the bottles within and finally stuck one needle into one, drawing in some of the liquid into the syringe.

He held it up to the light, making sure the measurements were correct before placing the cap over the needle and repeating the action with another syringe and a different medicine.

The sound of glass sliding across wood as he put it back met my ears and I tensed as he walked back to me, the needles in his right hand.

He didn't ask if I was ready. He just cleaned the area with an alcohol swab and stuck the first needle in.

I clenched my teeth at the pain of the liquid swimming into my bloodstream. I felt it as it moved through my body, fast as lightning and hurt almost as badly. I fought to catch my breath as the inducing medication made its way through my system.

I hissed out a breath.

"Oh, yeah," Cayson murmured, as if it was an afterthought, "the medicine may burn."

I narrowed my eyes at him, letting myself finally fall into a thick leather seat. I lowered my head to rest between my knees and breathed through the pain.

"Oh," Keon seemed shocked. "Your heat is already starting."

I didn't smell it at first, but once he said that, I finally did. The smell of roses began permeating off of my body. It was faint, but the scent always started off that way. It grew as time went on until it suffocated you.

I looked up at him. "Put me the fuck to sleep."

Shit, it hurt. The pain left my bloodstream and went straight for my lower abdomen, curling achingly. I huffed out a breath as the scent of my heat grew.

"It takes thirty minutes for the drug to work." He didn't make a move to give me the injection.

"I'll deal with it for thirty minutes," I groaned, clenching my thighs at the sudden shift from agonizing pain to pure liquid heat that rose up in me. "Please. Fuck. Just...please, Keon."

A light shone behind his eyes and he shoved the needle into my arm.

I didn't even feel the medication seep into my skin. I was too busy trying to keep from touching myself. Trying to rid myself of the sexual frustration that overtook me.
