Riley POV
It was time. Time to stop hiding. Time to leave. I sang the lock open and stepped out, listening to the sounds of the guests outside and the sound of feet rushing back and forth. I adjusted the mask on my face, tightening it although it would do little to hide the brightness of my eyes. I shrugged, not bothered by that in the slightest. I crept my way towards the stairs, my footsteps light in my shoes, heading up them. I listened at the key hole but there were no discernible sounds of anybody on the other side. I lightly sang again and the door unlocked itself. I grinned. So far everything was going according to plan. It was working. I slid out of the dungeon and closed the door silently behind me, hearing it lock. Now nobody would think I had let myself out.
I walked the hallways, familiar with the way to the grounds. I was taking the back way. The omegas were so busy doing everything for the party, that no one stopped me. It shocked me. They assumed that I wore a costume and even my bright blue hair didn't raise suspicion. Did they think it was a wig? Did they not put two and two together? Were they merely oblivious because I was dressed as one of the guests? I did not think to question it too much, walking slowly onto the grounds. It was as busy as I thought it might have been, guests walking and milling about everywhere, chatting, grabbing drinks off nearby waiters, some even dancing slowly to music on a dance floor. I might have stayed to enjoy myself, had I not been aware of the time and the possibility of being discovered missing. I sighed. Maybe next time.
My dress certainly stood out. I guess white might not have been the wisest choice for being stealthy, I thought with some amusement. I walked confidently to the forest, and nobody made an attempt to stop me. As I walked I overheard one of the guests ask where Alpha Jaxon had gotten to.
"Has anybody seen Alpha Jaxon? I could have sworn he was here not too long ago?" the man mumbled.
"I'm certain he was taking a walk in the forest but should be back out shortly sir" a waiter answered him politely.
Just my luck. Now I had to worry about Alpha Jaxon coming across me as I tried to escape. I could have sworn out loud. Instead I stepped deeper inside and used my senses to guide me. I strange feeling ripped across my abdomen and I clutched at it gasping, feeling pain shoot through me, grabbing at the trunk of a nearby tree to prop myself upright. What was this? Why did it hurt so much? I fought back the scream that wanted to erupt from my lips. I couldn't afford to give myself away. Not now. I was so close. The pain continued to come in waves. I gritted my teeth and stumbled on. It was excrutiating. It hurt so much that tears came to my eyes. I placed a hand on my stomach wondering what it was. I had never experienced it before. I knew it wasn't period pain but something else. It felt like I was being torn apart. It was all I could do to keep walking.
I wouldn't let this stop me. Not now. I stumbled blindly. My feet tripped over twigs and broken debris. The moon was shining brightly in the sky and on any other occasion I would have found it beautiful and the light comforting. It would have reminded me of the moon goddess and I would have prayed for her guidance as I made my way. But the pain was almost unbearable. I was practically on the ground and I gave a long moan of distress. My body felt like it was on fire. It was hot. I dropped to the ground and then I heard a voice not far up ahead. It was a girl's voice. She sounded, well it sounded as though I was about to ruin a moment if I didn't pay attention to where I was going and I was careful to place myself downwind so that they didn't catch my scent as I crept towards the trunk of a tree and listened.
"Oh god" she was moaning, her voice rising in ecstacy, "god you're so big" she said huskily, complimenting the male who currently had his back to me, her body pressed against the trunk of a tree as he expertly lowered her and raised her onto his throbbing cock.
"More" she moaned.
Damn he must be good if she was begging him like that, I thought wickedly, even as the pain continued to shoot through me. This presented a conundrum though. How was I supposed to get past them without them seeing or smelling me? Granted they were a bit, distracted, I allowed, but I was fairly certain they would see the white dress no matter how hard I tried to slither past them quietly. I frowned and bit my lip. Maybe I should wait until they are finished? But it seemed wrong to just eavesdrop on them like this, didn't it? Although if they didn't want anyone to see or hear them, shouldn't they be doing this somewhere private? The voice inside my head was unapologetic. If they wanted to be private, they should be doing it in a bedroom, I thought a little nonchalantly.
"Harder" she squealed as the man grunted at her.
She was clutching at his hair and throwing her head back in ecstacy.
They were going at it like two animals rutting in heat, I marvelled. Didn't the bark of the tree hurt against her back, even with her dress on? The mechanics of it escaped me. I could see his bare back, her nails digging and clawing at his flesh in supposed enthusiasm.
Another flare of pain. I dropped to one knee trying not to swear. The girl let out another long moan. "Oh, oh, oh" she whimpered.
Hurry up already, I thought impatiently, I want to get past and you're blocking me!
I debated throwing a rock but they might still smell me. I sighed.
I heard scuffling and their bodies moving and it seemed they had changed position, her back now to him as he began to rut her from behind, holding tightly to her hair as she rocked her hips back and forth. She was crying out and scrabbling at the tree as though the man was some kind of god or something. I wondered if she was on something. Was this normal behavior when you had sex? Did the man have some kind of magic dick or something? I peered around the tree feeling like a perve.
He slapped her ass and she gave a short whimper. He gripped her hips and began to move even faster. I hoped that meant he would be done quicker. She began to shout, her voice echoing throughout the woods. I saw several birds take flight in fear.
"God, just like that" she shouted "I'm going to cum, fuck, yes, yes, yes" she screamed, her body looking like it was convulsing.
Jesus. I gritted my teeth as pain tore through me. I almost dropped to the ground. Fuck. I dry heaved feeling sick. I forced myself back on my feet, clenching my hands into fists and digging my nails in so hard that I could feel myself drawing blood, in an effort to distract myself from the pain.
The man continued to keep ploughing her from behind. She mewled. I was about to start slithering past them when he finally spoke. It was the first time I'd heard his voice. Before now all I'd seen was the back of him in costume. I froze.
"Take it, take it all you little bitch. You're mine, mine now" he growled.
No. No, no, no. Not him. Anybody but him. My body was almost paralyzed. No wonder the pain was ripping through my body. He hadn't accepted the rejection. I would feel this everytime he was with another. He had betrayed me. Knowingly betrayed me and didn't care about the pain I would be feeling while he fucked somebody else. Anger flared through me.
I stifled a sob. Forced myself to step forward. Grabbed a large rock off the floor. While he was distracted I needed to take the chance. Hatred simmered inside of me. Resentment, bitterness. The girl was too lost in her enjoyment, her eyes closed to see what I was doing. As he began to growl and his body began to stiffen, signalling he was almost done, I brought the rock down on his head and then as he was dropping, hers. One by one they fell, unconscious, bleeding from the backs of their heads. I dropped the rock carelessly next to them. It wouldn't be long until they woke up but I guaranteed that if they were found the father of the girl was likely to have questions. I no longer felt the pain of him betraying the mate bond. I staggered forward, my eyes on the boundary line and the closeness of it. Within minutes I was right there.
"I reject you as my mate Alpha Jaxon for now and evermore. I reject Blood Moon Pack as my pack" I screamed and jumped over it. I didn't look back as I began to run.
