Elias's body burned—too hot, too sensitive, too aware.
The Alpha was everywhere. His scent, his heat, his presence pressing down like a force Elias couldn't fight.
And worse—he didn't want to fight it.
His mind screamed at him to push back, to resist, to not give the Alpha the satisfaction of seeing him crumble. But his body—his body had a mind of its own.
The drug had stripped away the careful control he always held. Every touch, every breath, every sound the Alpha made sent sharp, unbearable shivers racing down his spine.
"Look at you." The Alpha's voice was dark amusement, filled with something deeper—something possessive. "All that fight, and yet…"
His fingers traced down Elias's side, slow, teasing, knowing.
Elias shuddered.
"…your body is so honest, little one."
"Tch—" Elias clenched his jaw, trying to force his reactions back under control.
He refused to break.
But the Alpha was relentless.
He dipped closer, breath ghosting along Elias's neck, and the scent—that scent—hit him all at once.
The Omega's heat was spiking.
A deep, guttural growl rumbled from the Alpha's chest.
It was intoxicating.
Primal.
Irresistible.
His instincts roared in response, the predator in him wanting to devour, to claim, to—
"Haa…" Elias's breath hitched, his head tilting back against the pillow as another wave of unbearable heat coursed through him.
The Alpha smirked.
"There it is."
His voice dripped with satisfaction, with a hunger barely restrained.
"You feel it, don't you?" His fingers pressed firm, teasing, demanding a reaction. "That fire in your veins. That need."
Elias's hands shook.
His entire body trembled, muscles tensing, fighting the sensations threatening to drown him.
He would not give in.
He couldn't.
"Hngh—" He turned his head away, panting, swallowing hard. "Damn you—"
The Alpha chuckled, leaning closer, his lips brushing against Elias's ear.
"Oh, little one…" His voice was dangerous, thick with something Elias refused to name. "We're just getting started."
Elias shivered.
Heat.
Desire.
Instinct.
And the Alpha—
The Alpha wasn't going to let him escape it.
Not tonight.
