Sacred Flame: His Enemy, His Mate (BL) Chapter 6: Like a furnace

Kain Locke

My hand shook by my side as I stared at Kael. That sa sickening smile was plastered on his face as he casually looked around the room. He didn't even ask for a permission before dropping himself onto the lone couch in the small sitting room, like he owned the place.

"What a cute little place you've got here," he said, dragging out the words with that mocking tone I hated, but terrifies nevertheless "Cozy... if you're into this whole barely-getting-by aesthetic." He mused and chuckled afterwards, glancing around before his gaze landed on once again with a confident smirk, "It suits you, though." He clicked his tongue, "After all, you're always dreaming small and getting nowhere."

I clenched my jaw, my hands curling into fists so tight I could feel the heat rising in my chest, but my words wouldn't co. I wanted to shout, to tell him to shut the fuck up, to get out. But no matter how hard I tried, my voice was stuck in my throat, useless.

Brian on the other hand went to clung unto the legs of Felix who was looking at with confusion.

Kael leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. He tilted his head like he was genuinely curious, "You know," he said as a start, "this place reminds of that night back in Calstone. Rember that? You were so into it that all restraint was ripped off you. You were so wild, so wild that when you eventually regained your reasoning, you practically grabbed the little you have and did what a cowardly, and betrayal often did. It was... pathetic. But now that I'm thinking about it, it's almost cute. Almost."

My chest tightened at the fact that the word hit more hard than I wanted to admit, making my breath catch. Calstone. That night. I didn't want to think about it, but his words did the job dragging back there, pulling at mories I'd buried deep within .

The very mory that not only had brought about my coming here, the very existence of Brian but also the reason why Kael is here right now.

Flashback

My eyes flung open at the backseat of the car, the space was so cramped it felt like a furnace.

My skin was burning, damp with sweat in a way that no amount of shifting could ease the ache tearing through . The space was too small, the air was too hot, and my body...

I pressed my forehead against the cool glass of the window for relief, but it wasn't enough. Nothing was.

Only a heat crawling under my skin, unbearably, consuming. In a way that every nerve in my body scread for sothing, for soone to make it stop.

And it was really scary considering the fact that the last thing I rember was being hit in the head by that beta and passing out, then how do I end up here in a car backseat, and to make it worse with my heat cycle coming up all of a sudden which was unusual of since I was always on suppressant.

I made sure of it, so there's no way my heat should be induced... So how the heck was I in heat?

I bit down on my lip, hard enough to taste blood, trying to keep quiet. Because the last thing I wanted was to let anyone see like this, weak, desperate, and out of control.

Oga's scent has always been thick, the kind that would definitely pull an Alpha's attention even from miles away.

So I knew i have to get out of here before a bunch of unrestrained Alpha ca banging at the window or ripping the door open like one of those scene you can see in a frenzied zombie apocalyptic movies, but there's no way I would be able to execute that thought with the car being locked.

However I couldn't resist pulling at the door and surprisingly it opened easily. It wasn't locked like I had thought.

I curled in on myself, gripping my knees, as I struggled to sit up,

"Hot... so hot.." I huffed as I stepped out of the car and glanced around, barely recognizing anywhere except for the surrounding which was pretty desolate, with nothing but a lone road, area of land by the side of the road with restrictions, danger sign and a house, a very little house in the middle of the unknown.

A house, who knows if I would find a suppressant or anything to kill this overwhelming heat.

So I stumbled forward while holding my chest as I crossed to the other side of the road, going to the house, opening the door has co as easy as opening the car door.

However the mont I closed it behind , a scent hit , pheromones. Pheromones that doesn't belonged to , but to an Alpha, so thick to an extent of suffocation, as though squeezing all semblance of reasoning from my head, my legs tightened together to stop it from trembling but I wasn't successful with that action because not only was I unable to stop trembling, my legs was moving accordingly towards where the pheromones was coming from as if they had the mind of their own.

I wasn't such a slut or a whore, however at that mont all I could think of was ripping whatever I had on off, and having myself wrapped in the embrace of an Alpha, and I knew damn well there was one just a few walls away from .

And it wasn't just an Alpha but one in rut.

And unbelievably, he wasn't coming to , which was untypical for an Alpha, no less one in rut.

Thus, since it was like this, the needy have to find ease. Since he can't co to , then I'll seek out the comfort by myself.

To locate the direction wasn't so hard. After all, pheromones were just like an invisible hook, sharp and unrelenting. Once they caught onto soone, there was no escaping the pull, an instinctive lure that stripped away reason and left nothing but raw, primal need in its place.

So I kept stumbling forward, my hand clutching my chest while the other dragged along the wall for support. My legs felt like they would give out any second, but I pushed on, step by step, until I reached a door that was slightly ajar.

The Alpha's pheromones were heavier here, so thick it felt like the air itself was pressing down on . My head spun, my knees felt weak, and every shaky breath made my chest tighten. I wanted to turn back, to stop, but my body wouldn't listen.

Because of the overwhelming haze that has already clouded my thoughts, pulling forward until I found myself pushing the door fully open. He was there, sitting on the bed. His shirt was ripped, his perfectly built body on full display, muscles taut and glistening as though every part of him had been carved to perfection.

An Alpha.

My vision blurred slightly, the heat and his scent blinding , making it impossible to tell who he was. But it didn't matter, in contrast that all I could think of was the presence that filled the room commandingly, irresistibly, and pulling in like a tide I couldn't fight. Which makes wonder why he wasn't after , because I was damn sure he could also feel , even from distances away as I could feel him.

However, the mont his head snapped up after he noticed , perhaps, he eventually couldn't resist it. His eyes were so dark and intense that they were locking onto like a predator sizing up its prey.

My body reacted before my mind could catch up, knees trembling, breath hitching, it was suffocating with his pheromones that seed to seep into my skin, making my legs wobble beneath and the heat inside roaring to life even more than it was in the car, in a way that every nerve in scread to move closer.

But before I could think or even make the move, he was already on his feet, crossing the room in one swift, predatory motion.

My back hit the doorfra as his hands ca up to cage in, his body towering over mine.

"Oga," he growled, and I instinctively pressed my body to his, my chest moving forward on its own as he stranded my hips and the next mont his lips crashed against mine, desperately and unrelenting, I couldn't stop myself from moaning.

I didn't resist. I couldn't. It was like sothing inside wants him to eat raw, swallow whole, I want him, no, I need him.

My fingers clutched at his bare shoulders, and his arms wrapped around , pulling flush against him.

Waves of pheromones spread out uncontrollably and the dual torture of body and mind pushed to the verge of collapse. The pheromones in my body continued responding instinctively and this had long made my body soft. I might not be able to move while held in the Alpha's arms but I could still feel the extre discomfort from the other person.

My fingers tensed and my legs curled up uncontrollably. I could no longer tell if the rapid breathing in my ears belonged to the Alpha or myself. All I could tell was I was strongly imprisoned in his arms so I instinctively held on tightly to the Alpha's shoulders, so hard that the joints of my fingers were white. The feeling of an electric shock causing them to spasm.

I uncontrollably bit the other person's shoulder and could feel him pause for a while.

And like a switch, the mont he attacked again, all I could tell was being pushed against the bed and ripped off my clothes, my legs parting and him coming between them.

Then the rest was history, except for the pain I experienced at first which was later clouded by pleasures.

***

By the ti I woke up, my body feels as if it had been put through a wringer, every bones in my body ached so bad it hurts, my stomach also hurts,

I sat up on the bed and could now see the chaos in the room. The light from the street light leaking through the gap in the curtain's, Next to , was another man, still sleeping deeply with his face covered with a little frown.

My heart jumped with fright as everything ca back to , and flashes of scenes, obscene scenes, too obscene I could hardly believe the person in it was .

My eyes slowly ca back to that man.

Not only do I fail the mission and was hit in the head, thus failing with my escape plans, I managed to end up in the bed and get fucked by the man I was sure was sent to retrieve by his father.

What have I done? My eyes went wide as I stared at Kael's face, his eyelashes fluttering slightly with his brows furrowed together in his sleep, looking like a charming and seductive demon with a face that would easily earn him a top figure in the entertainnt industry.

However, I knew at that mont that I had to escape.
