Chapter 16 I'll claim you

TALIA POV

Zane grabbed me tightly and dragged me out of the room. His grip was so strong it felt like it was cutting off my blood flow. My steps quickened as I tried to match his pace. He reached the door at the end of the hallway and yanked me inside. I almost fell, but I forced myself to stay on my feet.

What is wrong with him? Why is he acting like this?

He ran his hands through his hair and began pacing up and down the room. Then he opened a small fridge by the side of the door and pulled out a bottle. It looked like alcohol. My eyes followed him as he lifted it.

He looks like a ruthless Alpha… but he drinks?

The thought stayed in my head.

He turned to me, his face filled with anger. His eyes were red. He grabbed my chin and lifted my face, squeezing it tightly until my lips parted. Before I could react, he forced the bottle into my mouth and poured the drink inside.

I gagged immediately as the alcohol burned down my throat.

“Drink,” he ordered harshly. “Drink every drop!”

He kept pouring it into my mouth, not giving me a chance to breathe.

I struggled, choking as the liquid filled my throat. It burned my chest, my lungs, everything. My body trembled as I tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong.

I couldn’t breathe.

He poured the entire bottle into my mouth and then threw it away. The bottle shattered on the floor, pieces scattering everywhere.

I stumbled backward, grabbing the bed to support myself. My vision became blurry. The whole room started spinning.

My hand tightened around the bed as my legs weakened, and I dropped to the floor.

Zane crouched in front of me and lifted my face. Then he suddenly burst into laughter.

The sound echoed in my ears.

I couldn’t understand what was happening anymore. My vision faded in and out as I tried to wipe my eyes with the back of my hand.

Everything felt heavy.

My head… my body…

Suddenly, the door creaked open.

I saw a pair of slim legs. They looked like they belonged to a woman. I tried to lift my head and see her face, but everything was still blurry.

I couldn’t see clearly.

My head felt too heavy. My fingers tightened around the hem of my dress.

“Alpha Zane, Beta Moretti requests your presence,” a soft voice said. She sounded young.

“Tell him I’m busy,” Zane replied coldly, his voice firm and loud.

"He said it's important." the girl said, her voice shaking.

“Fine, tell him you’ll be there soon.”Zane muttered something under his breath as the model disappeared.

“I’ll be back…” he said before walking out of the room.

The moment he left, the room felt strange. Everything around me started spinning, and my head felt heavier than before. I tried to stand, but my legs wouldn’t cooperate. Just as I struggled, the door opened again.

I looked up, my vision blurred, unable to clearly see his face. But I didn’t need to. The scent that filled the air told me everything.

It was Zane.

A sudden grip tightened around my wrists, pulling me closer. My breath caught as he leaned in, his nose brushing lightly against the marked spot on my neck.

“W-what are you doing?” I whispered, my voice trembling as my chest rose and fell unevenly.

He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he pulled me closer, his hand firm against my waist.

“Shh…” he murmured softly. “Relax… just enjoy the moment.”

His lips crashed into mine, slow at first but filled with intensity. My body stiffened before slowly melting into him. My fingers curled against his shirt as he deepened the kiss, our breaths mixing.

Our lips moved against each other, unsteady at first, then more desperate. My heart pounded loudly in my chest, my body reacting before my mind could catch up. Our tongues clashed, fighting for dominance, neither of us willing to pull away.

He lifted me effortlessly and dropped me onto the bed. The soft surface dipped beneath me as I gasped, my body sinking into it.

I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to focus, trying to understand what was happening. But everything felt distant, hazy. His face remained unclear, like a shadow I couldn’t fully see.

Still, our lips found each other again.

This time slower… deeper.

My hands moved on their own, tugging at his clothes as his hands did the same to mine. My breathing grew heavier, uneven, my chest rising quickly as heat spread through my body.

The air hit my exposed skin, sending a shiver down my spine. His hands moved over me, rough but controlled, making my body react in ways I couldn’t stop.

A soft sound escaped my lips as his fingers traced over my skin, sending sparks through me. My back arched slightly, my fingers tightening against him.

“Ngh…” I breathed out, my voice barely steady.

My body trembled as unfamiliar sensations built inside me. Every touch felt stronger, heavier, like my body was no longer mine to control.

A deeper sensation pressed against me, different from before. My breath hitched sharply, my eyes widening slightly even though my vision was still blurred.

It wasn’t just his fingers anymore.

A slow movement followed, sending a wave through my body. My hands clenched tightly, my nails digging slightly into his skin as my breathing became uneven.

“Ah…” I gasped softly, my body reacting instantly.

He moved slowly at first, his cock hitting the walls of my wet clit, almost careful, as if testing my reaction. My legs tensed, then relaxed, my body adjusting to him.

Each movement grew deeper, stronger.

My breath became shaky, my chest rising quickly as my fingers curled against the sheets. My body responded without permission, tightening around him as a strange warmth spread through me.

“Mmh…” I moaned softly, unable to hold it back.

The sensation built with every movement, my body trembling beneath him. My head tilted back slightly, my lips parting as my breathing grew louder.

The scent around me grew stronger again, wrapping around my senses.

Zane.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered close to my ear, his voice low and rough.

A shiver ran through me as his words sank in, my heart tightening slightly.

“I didn’t mean for someone else to claim you,” he continued, his voice softer now, yet filled with something I couldn’t understand.

My brows furrowed slightly, confusion flickering through the haze.

What does he mean by that?

Wasn’t he the one who claimed me?
