Hugo's POV

"Yes, yes fuck fuckkk" She jumped on my cock while screaming at the top of her lungs. I panted as I filled hot, thick cum inside of her. Her bright crimson eyes dimmed, and she regained composure as if she was just emerging from a trance.

Without another word, she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. Once the shock of what had just occurred subsided, I realized that my hands were still restrained. As my hands fought the restraints, I summoned upon my wolf, but even he was incapable of freeing them. Suddenly I realized that the cuffs had to be spellbound.

My eyes followed the dried-up cum on my torso as they moved down my body. Is she going to come back and kill me? I pondered. "Or am I just a sex puppet?"

My mind was racing with thoughts. Why would she kidnap betas if she was in heat? She had a stunning appearance. Her deep brown eyes, black curly hair, a divine frame, and red lips were just some of her exquisite features. Even while she came, she was beautiful to behold.

Anyone who wouldn't want to sleep with her would be foolish. Except if she later kills them; in that case, perhaps no one would volunteer to satisfy her heat.

"Stop thinking with your head" My inner wolf interrupted.

"If I don't, we'll die. Is that what you want?" I whispered.

My thoughts came to a halt when I noticed the Alpha had already gotten out of the bathroom and was now coming towards me. I tried to lean back to the bed post, closing my eyes as if this was it. This was the moment she kills me. But as she scowled at me, all I could do was return her glance with a blank stare.

Seconds started feeling like minutes as I gulped attempting to free the words from my lips.

"Could you uncuff me now? I can't feel my arms" I asked politely.

She gave me a long intense look before taking out a small key and unlocking it. I inhaled deeply as I extend my aching arms and bruised wrists. Our gazes locked, while I held my breath. The heat between her legs still palpable, I noticed her getting closer. Almost as if she had read my mind, she stated, "You are to satisfy me until my heat passes".

"Yes, your highness" My wolf replied in my head.

"In return, you'd let me go?" I asked hopefully. I couldn't allow lust to cloud my judgement. My main goal is to get out of this mansion. I was the last member of the Shaw Family's bloodline, and I wouldn't let myself die in captivity.

She chuckled as she cocked her head back. "That depends"

"On what?" My voice was as quiet as one could be. I didn't not want to provoke her by any means. But I knew I wanted answers.

"Whether you'd be able to satisfy my needs"

"Your moans . . . indicated that I had met your needs." I replied, lifting an eyebrow. She lifted her leg off the bed and hissed as she leaned very close to my face. Her teeth emerged as her eyes began to glow red. She was a beast that you did not want to enrage.

"Little Claws, I will decide if you have satisfied my needs and I will know once my heat is over. If you pass, I shall spare your life. But if you fail, I'll skin you alive and sleep in your fur coat."

I gasped at the picture she has now ingrained in my mind.

"You passed Day One, Little Claws" She smirked and as she turned to leave, I rapidly got up from the bed and remarked, "Its . . Hugo. I'd prefer if you called me Hugo"

"I'll call you whatever I want to call you, little claws" Her reply was firm.

"Fine. At least tell me your name, then?" I asked, a little louder this time.

"It's Alpha Talia" With that, she left the room.

Talia. Her name escaped my lips as more a prayer. A prayer that I foresee myself making to show me mercy when she's made up her mind to kill me.

"Do you think Talia is our mate?" My inner wolf interrupted my thoughts again.

I rolled my eyes at his inquiry. "Have you been not paying attention this entire time? She will kill us when her heat is over"

"Not if she was our mate"

"If she was, we'd know by now. Her scent isn't strong, she is unlike any Alpha I'd ever seen and did I forget to mention, she's been killing betas across cities" I tried to reason.

"I like her"

"No, you don't" I muttered under my breath.

"Yes I do. I wouldn't mind dying at her mercy"

I growled getting annoyed by the lack of brain cells my wolf acquired. "Get a grip on yourself. If luck is on our side and we get the chance to kill her, I BEG you to not hesitate. I beg you to not hide away. Are we clear on that?"

"What if she's our mate?"

"SHE IS NOT!" I screamed by myself in the cold master bedroom.
