LYRA

" I think getting to know each other better sounds nice," I said in agreement, without thinking what would happen tomorrow night with him.

At least we had more time.

Kodan looked satisfied that I'd complied with his new plan. I didn't mind getting to know him. With the scar over his eye, ripped-up shirt, and muscles bulging out of his arms, he was intimidating and made this large room feel so small.

My pussy clenched tight around Luke's cock, which was slowly receding in size.

"I want Luke with me, though," I said, my voice low with uncertainty.

"That's fine," said Kodan. "But tonight, I'll be sleeping next to you."

I was locked in place by Luke's knot while Kodan settled next to me, sinking the bed further on the ground.

I couldn't run away as his body came close to mine, my back facing him. He wasn't touching me, but I could feel the heat emanating from his body- calling to me.

Warmth flooded my privates, and Luke gave me a knowing look. He knew the effect this sigma was having on my body.

My face heated with embarrassment.

"Where's Voss?" I asked, trying to break the awkward silence.

"He likes sleeping in his room," explained Kodan. "You will spend time with him later this week."

Luke's knot finally released me, but I stayed facing him with my back still to Kodan. Kodan draped the gray mothball-smelling sheet over my naked body when I yawned again.

Luke kissed me on the lips again as I closed my eyes.

"Sleep tight, my princess."

Sometime in the middle of the night, I didn't realize I had turned on my back.

I groggily noticed Kodan's hand was on my thigh, and he was snoring. But when I moved, his hand ventured up and grasped my vagina. Oh, my goodness. I didn't want to cause a scene and cause us both to be embarrassed, so I didn't move a muscle.

But the longer he held me between my legs, the more I felt the warmth gathering in my core again.

I was getting horny from his touch even though he was sleeping.

His hand twitched, and his middle finger slipped between the folds of my pussy. I bit my lip to keep from slicking all over his hand. His finger stayed inside me for a good minute while I debated whether to move his hand. Slick began to moisten my pussy as I tried to think of a way to move him without waking him and facing him.

His thick sausage finger began to thrust inside me.

I held my breath.

Kodan had stopped snoring, but his eyes were still closed. I covered my mouth with my fist as he fingered me while Luke slept soundly on my other side. Then he inserted a second finger, and I let my legs fall open, making it easier for his second finger to go inside me, stretching me out. I knew his fingers were probably drenched, but I didn't care at this moment.

I was teetering on the edge now. Heat spiked through my tummy and down my core.

"Do you want a third finger?" Kodan rasped in my ear. I jumped, my face heating immediately as I clenched my thighs together.

He was fucking awake this whole time. How long had he been awake?

I shook my head, a bout of shyness overtaking me. I grasped his giant hand, trying to pry him away. But he kept his fingers firmly inside me.

"No third finger," I whispered, hoping against hope that Luke wouldn't wake up. It was humiliating that I was enjoying the sigma's touch.

"Does this feel good?" he asked, hooking his fingers upward and touching my g-spot.

Slick coated me between my legs in response. I needed relief. I needed him to finish the job so badly. He turned on his side, staring at me with those golden eyes of his.

"Please."

"Open your legs," he commanded in his sigma baritone, compelling me to obey. It was more powerful than an alpha's command. And in my sleepy state of mind, I was powerless against him.

My legs fell open again of its own accord, falling prey to his command. At the same time, I was excited, but I didn't want him to know that.

"Okay."

"I'm going to ask again. Do you want me to stick a third finger inside your tight little pussy?"

The thought was appealing. My pussy was clenching around his fingers like a lifeline.

"Yes," I gasped out.

When he plunged the third finger inside me, I cried out.

"Do you like this?" he asked as he began to thrust all three fingers in and out of me. Over and over. Spreading me as wide as possible. I was no longer a virgin. But I still felt like one, even having someone else's fingers inside me.

I nodded to avoid waking Luke, and Kodan plunged his fingers deeper inside. I fisted my hand in my mouth, muffling a scream as my body convulsed with one powerful orgasm.

When I finished, Kodan removed his fingers and shut his eyes–snoring and falling back into a deep sleep.

I quietly yawned, stretching like a cat, and closed my eyes with a smile on my lips.

"Princess, is something wrong?" Luke asked me the next morning.

I was rifling through my suitcase this morning, looking for my heat suppressants. I was irritated and grouchy for no reason at all.

I didn't feel like talking to Luke right now. Was Luke like the others, just waiting to knot me?

Was he even a genuine friend? I couldn't decide whether to trust him.

"No, Luke," I sighed. "I'm just trying to find something to wear for my date today with Kodan."

"And me," Luke reminded me. "I'm coming with you, remember?"

"First of all, it was my idea to marry you. So don't act like you were the one who wanted to guard me."

"I do want to guard you. That is my job," said Luke.

"So I'm just a job to you?" I snapped.

"I'll meet you downstairs," said Luke, his jaw twitching. "Maybe by then, you'd have control over your emotions because I have no idea what's gotten into you."

I waited until I heard his footsteps squeak down the wooden stairs, and then I collapsed on top of my suitcase, groaning aloud.

I was wearing a fluffy pink bathrobe after my shower. The tub was horrible, with secret spiders in every corner.

If I was going to live in this abandoned tower, I'd have to start making it a little more comfortable and deep-clean everything. It might've contributed to my bad mood this morning.

The smell of fried eggs wafted into the room. I hadn't seen Voss or Kodan this morning yet, and I was definitely nervous to see Kodan again.

Especially after last night's events.

Maybe Kodan was smug and proud of himself. I had no idea. I hated feeling like this. Being an omega was hard when all males saw me only as a sexual object.

I couldn't trust anyone.

I felt more alone than anything, even if Luke was here. But here he was, angry at me, and it was all my fault.

It was sunny outside for a November day.

I was walking alongside Kodan amongst the villagers, with Luke following close behind.

Luke and I hadn't exchanged a word since our spat this morning.

Adjusting my tiara, which had become tangled in my hair, I was aware of the Wild Wolfmen staring at me. I suddenly regretted wearing my royal purple dress, which looked outlandish compared to their minimal to bare clothing.

As we walked, Kodan pointed out the various landmarks, people, and buildings. To me, everything looked rundown, and the people looked frightening with the fur on their bodies along with their fangs sticking out of their mouths.

I wanted to be anywhere but here.

"Look, that's the mango man," said Kodan, pointing out to the man squatting on the ground and mashing mangos in a brown clay pot. He looked up at us with a large, fanged smile.

I was aware of Luke just behind me, looking to see what was happening. I didn't turn to look at him, but I felt his alpha scent come nearer to me.

"Is he making juice out of it?" asked Luke.

"I want two cups," requested Kodan from the mango man.

To my dismay, Kodan forced me to take a cup, and I stared at the gloopy mess in the tin cup.

The mango man barked at me, which I took as a sign to drink it up. I swallowed nervously and brought the cup to my lips, taking a small sip. It was really sweet, not like the mangoes in the city. I chewed the pulp awkwardly and smiled at the mango man with a thumbs up.

"It's good," I said, handing Kodan the tin cup. "But I'm full from the wonderful breakfast you made. Do you want the rest?"

Kodan gruffly took the cup and downed it in one go, handing the mango man the empty cup along with some spare change. Luke had already finished his cup and was somehow making conversation with the mango man.

Luke seemed to be adapting to this place faster than I was. The mango man wasn't even saying real words, just barking and howling, talking with his hands.

"They can't talk?" I whispered to Kodan.

"They can understand us but are unable to speak," replied Kodan gruffly, with a faraway look in his eyes.

"Oh," I said, looking at the mango man in pity.

But the pity for the people soon dispersed. I felt someone grab my hair, and my head yanked back. I screamed as I lost my balance and fell backward.

"Let go of her!" shouted Luke, pointing his gun at the person holding me against him. Barks and whistles sounded. I instantly knew it was one of the Wild Wolfmen.

"Ew, oh my god," I screamed. "Get him off me!"

Kodan barked in another language, and they released my hair.

I got up from the muddy ground, grabbing Luke's hand. My scalp burned as I massaged my head. I turned to see who the hell had grabbed me and saw a Wild Wolfman with a leer on his face and saliva dripping from his chin. He was panting and staring at me with wide, yellow eyes.

"I can't live here!" I shouted at Kodan.
