forgotten.

Sophia wasn't even afraid anymore. The fear that she had initially felt when she was first brought to the warehouse. She had first been in the front, where the alphas stepped inside first. She should have sold in the first few weeks of being there - an unclaimed omega that was up for sale? But she hadn't. And she found herself in the far back, in a cage so small that she couldn't stand. She could even sit up, the most that she could even do was move to her hands and knees. The cage had become her home for the past four months, only able to leave when the slavers decided that she needed to be sprayed down because she had gotten too filthy. A filthy omega would never sell, no matter how unclaimed they were.

She curled into a tight ball, in the corner of the cage as far from the door to it that she could get. Sophia winced as she shifted slightly, the ground uncomfortable for her to lay on. She wasn't even sure that she could stand on her own two feet if an alpha demanded her to. How was she supposed to stand, if she hadn't properly stood for more than a few minutes at a time, once a week, if she was lucky?

Sophia blinked dumbly when she heard footsteps not too far away from her cage. She was in the far corner, if she looked to the side she could see other omegas who had been here just as long as she had, if not longer. None of them moved when the light in the room turned on, only closing their eyes because any more energy just was not feasibly. Sophia wondered if she was going to be fed soon, was that why she heard footsteps? Perhaps it was... but her heart sank when she realized it wasn't a single pair of wet, but two. Only one person ever came to toss scraps at them, every few days.

She tensed, pressing herself further against the bars of the cage. Sophia had no clue what was coming. The stench from the warehouse the only thing that she could detect. She couldn't even pick up on the scents of the alphas that contained her anymore, Her stomach rolled as she buried her face against her arm, just wishing that maybe she would get relief soon. Sophia was so, so tired.

August followed the host through the warehouse, not surprised when he was shown the conditions the omegas were kept in. Nor did it upset him. The only reason he was here now, looking for another omega, was because his last hadn't... worked out. August wasn't a gentle man, or a fair man. He was stern, demanding, violent. He liked to get his hands dirty and he had found the perfect job to let him do that. He was known as The Hammer among around the agency and he was called in whenever things needed to be done, quickly. He was no stranger to murder and when his last omega needed to vanish, it hadn't been even a slight inconvenience to him.

"Take your time," the host smirked. He had a mousy little face that annoyed August just by looking at it. Giving him a little nod, August kept silent as he began to walk up and down the row of cages, not even glancing at the omegas he walked by. They were all forced into cages so tiny that they were either lying flat down curled into a little ball, or resting on their hands and knees, like good little bitches. August didn't need to look at them, though, not yet. The most important thing was the aroma. Of all of the omegas August had in the past, they had all had such enticing, sweet scents. So, August was letting his nose lead him.

After a few minutes of walking up and down the rows, August let his shoulders sag. His hands fell to his hips as he looked back in the direction of the host. "Where did you find these pups?" He spat the words, completely agitated that not one of them had caught his attention yet. "You're asking a pretty high price for low-grade bitches." With only a few more rows to walk down, August wasn't looking too hopeful. There had been other auctions and sellers he had been looking at, but he really hadn't been wanting to go shopping from place to place.

Turning down the last row, August instantly caught Sophia's scent. It was like the beginning of Spring, dewy grass and budding flowers. It was sweet but refreshing and it had been enough to catch his attention. Following his nose to his cage, he finally looked down. He hadn't even glanced in another omega's direction. Squatting down so he could look through the bars, a smile appeared on his face. "You've been here a while, haven't ya? Guess it's your lucky day, lil omega." He reached through the bars to push her brown hair away from her face, wanting to take a good look at her. Wide eyes and plump soft lips. She'd do just fine. "Time to get you out of this cage."

Rising back to his feet, he turned away from her and walked back towards the host. August didn't even stop to address him, instead, continuing right by him to the exit. "Have her delivered tonight."

@ castle.

Sophia kept her head lowered, her eyes trained on the ground in front of her. She was never to look at an alpha, she was never to display the belief that she was equal to them. Or that she could have her own thoughts or.. Sophia's breath caught in her throat when a man knelt in front of the cage she was in. She braced her feet against the floor and pushed back as much as she could, wanting to be as small as she could be. As far from August's reach as she could. But then August's fingers were reaching into the cage and Sophia felt her stomach drop. Oh god. Sophia had no clue what being with an alpha would be like but if one was venturing this far back in the warehouse, what were they going to do with her?

Her head tilted up because to her, it seemed the unnamed alpha wanted her to. Sophia's eyes were wide, filled with terror as he spoke. August was taking her? Sophia had resigned herself to her fate, she would die in this cage. Like an animal. And now she was going to be free? Sophia shook her head the slightest bit at the thought. No, Sophia wouldn't be free. She knew that. She wasn't foolish.

The moment that August left through the door, the host followed quickly. There was a bit of a pep in the man's step because he was getting rid of one of the lost causes. Making money despite having given up on the opportunity. It wasn't more than five minutes before another guard appeared, stalking toward her cage. Opening the door, the guard reached in and dragged Sophia out by her hair. She whimpered, stumbling after the man as she was led down the now familiar path, toward the corner where there was a hose.

Sophia's limbs shook as she peeled off her shirt, flinching barely when the cold water doused her. She pushed herself around, revealing her back to the man because she knew it was better to comply than put up any sort of fight. A fresh, white shirt was thrown at her and she dragged it over her head. It was all she would wear to be delivered to August's home.

---

Sophia's legs shook beneath her as she followed the river up the stairs to August's home. She braced herself, stiffening her legs in an attempt to remain upright. She had no way of knowing what August would be like but she damn well knew that she didn't want to upset or disappoint him in any way. Or she'd be sent right back to the warehouse. Or... or worse. Sophia hung her head, her mouth going dry as she heard the front door open.

The man who stood in front of her smiled, thrusting a manila envelope forward. "The sale papers, sir. As well as all of the info we have on the omega," he explained. The man bowed slightly before retreating back to the car.

August took the folder from the man, leaning against the doorframe as he watched him retreat away, down from his doorstep and back to his car. He'd never be willing to admit it, but August had been a bit giddy, excited for his new plaything to arrive. He hadn't been able to get the memory of her scent out of his mind the whole evening as he waited. Opening the manila folder, he skimmed through the pages quietly, barely giving Sophia a look. Like she was just a package that had been delivered, nothing that required his immediate attention. Not like she was a person. The papers were all the same that he had already seen back at the warehouse, upon paying for the omega. They told him everything he needed to know about her, from general information like her height and weight to all the tests that he been run, like the one declaring she was free of any STDs.

"Never been claimed, omega?" August asked abruptly as he moved out of the way to allow her entry into his home. The paper before his eyes declared that, but he wasn't entirely sure if he could believe the sellers. He wouldn't put it past them to claim such a lie, all to just raise the price on her. "Jesus, you were in there for months?" August went back to skimming through her file, slamming the door shut behind her once she was inside. Who knew if she'd ever take another step outside, but to August, being with him would be better than being crammed in a cage. Not by much, but it would be slightly better.

Once finished revisiting her folder, August tossed it onto a little table near the front door. "So you've never been with an alpha? I feel like I should've gotten a discount. I'm going to have to teach you a lot. Wonder if it's even worth it." Pushing his sleeves up his arms to his elbows, August began to circle the frightened girl. He ran his fingers through her thick hair, the slight movement causing her scent to waft in his direction. A little purr could be heard from the back of his throat as he enjoyed the scent, "I think it'll be worth it. You're gonna try really hard to make me happy, right, omega?"

@ castle.

Sophia's legs shook beneath her but she did her best to remain standing straight, unsure of what August expected from her. She had no idea who he was but he was an alpha and she needed to show him the utmost respect. She let out a shaky breath, trying to enjoy the fresh air. It was the first she had had since she was brought to the warehouse, Sophia adored being outside. It felt right to her. But she wasn't about to ask August if she could stay outside and enjoy it. The moment that August spoke, Sophia had to fight back a whimper. "N-No, sir," she whispered, her voice cracking. Her voice was hoarse from disuse but she wasn't about to not answer him. No answer was quite possibly up there with trying to tell August no.

Taking a tiny step forward when August moved to the side, Sophia still hesitated to step into his home. Even barely looking up enough to see where she was going, Sophia realized that the home was grande and clean and... everything that she wasn't. She felt like she was out of place. "S-six... six months, s-sir," Sophia forced the words out of her mouth, just wanting to answer August so he didn't thinks he was trying to ignore him. She didn't know what rules he would set out but she was intent to do whatever she thought would keep him happy with her.

Her shaking got worse when August started to circle her, her shoulders curling in on herself. Sophia squeezed her eyes shut, panic running through her veins when August seemed so upset with her. She was inexperienced and that had been part of the appeal that the slavers had thought would help sell her. But they'd been wrong.

Sophia felt tears well in her eyes at the suggestion but she still nodded her head at August's question. "Y-Yes.. yes, sir," she whispered, moving her hands behind her back. She shifted her weight from one side to the other, unsure of herself. Should she say something else? Should she be quiet? Being quiet would be better. That was what she had been taught and until August told her otherwise, she would do just that.

"Good." August admired how obedient she already seemed, but he didn't expect anything less. She had been treated like a dog, living the last six months in a cage, only being let out occasionally to be scrubbed down. The sellers had seemed to do a fantastic job at breaking her spirit down. Not even daring to glance at him without expressed permission. He hoped she didn't give him too much trouble, she had a hefty price tag on her head.

He laughed, wrapping his arm around Sophia's shoulders, enjoying how she addressed him. "Try your best and maybe I'll keep you around." It wasn't an empty threat. An omega who couldn't please didn't deserve to live. They were burdens on society, constantly needing affection and attention. Their heats were so bad they usually couldn't work through them and found they often needed so much extra care. They were too needy. So if she couldn't do her job, in August's eyes, there seemed to be no reason to keep her around. "How'd you manage to get yourself in that mess?"

The sellers used many different sources to keep their stock filled. They would grab homeless omegas off the streets, buy them from their fathers or their alphas who didn't want them anymore, even kidnap omegas who found themselves alone at the wrong time. The world wasn't a safe place for an omega, especially one alone. August lead Sophia through his home, towards the grand staircase that would lead them to the second floor of his mansion. Running his fingers through her hair again, he could feel it needed to be washed. The pathetic thing could probably use a full on bath, knowing she was probably only hosed down with icy water.

Even if August didn't hold any respect for his omegas, or any omega for that matter, he still wanted his play thing to be clean and presentable. The smell of hard water and sweat was tainting her fresh aroma. "Regina!" August shouted once they stood at the top of the stairs. In an instant, a maid appeared from down the hall. "Take my new pet and get her cleaned up and dressed. And hurry. Bring her to my room when it's done."

Turning his gaze back to Sophia, he gave her a wicked smile. "Get excited, sweetie. I'm going to start teaching you everything you need to know, immediately." His arm dropped from her shoulders, his hand instead pressing into the small of her back, forcing her towards Regina.

@ castle.

The thought had disappeared almost before it had even formed. Would August feed her? Sophia couldn't remember the last time that she had had a warm meal, even before being captured. She could only bring herself to nod when August challenged her to do her best to please him. That wasn't even a question as far as she was concerned because Sophia was completely broken. Doing anything that she wasn't told to do wasn't even something Sophia would consider. She knew better. "I-I.. I was out with f-friend.. friends, sir," her voice was still just as quiet, trying to keep herself as meek as possible. She was nothing compared to August. Sophia understood that. "W-When... I was t-taken.."

Each step up the stairs was worse than the last and Sophia found herself clinging to the railing to keep herself upright. She didn't hesitate despite how much energy each step took. She was exhausted and she was almost sure that if she was back at the warehouse, she would have probably been sleeping. This was more than she had done in months. By the time they reached the top of the stairs, Sophia was very nearly ready to plead her case with August. Just the tiniest bit of food for energy. It didn't have to warm or fresh or anything. Before she could find the courage to speak, August was shouting out a name and admittedly, she was relieved. That meant she wouldn't be foolish and speak out of turn.

---

Sophia was too terrified to speak as the maid helped her to wash. It felt so odd for the water to be warm and for soap to be used. The cold water that she had been sprayed down was exactly that. There hadn't been soap for her to use because she was just an object, she didn't get the luxury of being clean. Not given enough time to enjoy the bath, Sophia soon found herself in a set of lingerie that left little to the imagination. She thought it was cute, probably even something she would have worn voluntarily if this had been a committed relationship with an alpha that had swept her off her feet.

It wasn't more than fifteen minutes before Sophia stood in front of August's room. Regina had knocked on the door before scurrying away, back to the tasks she had had been in the middle of. When she heard a short 'come in', Sophia set her hand on the doorknob. She was terrified because this was the complete opposite of what she had been used to. There was no corner of the cage for her to pick from. Keeping August waiting for longer than she should have, Sophia pushed the door open before tiptoeing inside.

She closed the door behind herself, her head hanging low as she clasped her hands together behind her back. "S-Sir," Sophia greeted, bowing as low as she dared before she straightened back up. Whether it was the right action or not, Sophia hoped it would show she was trying to be obedient.

August had retreated back to his room once Regina had disappeared with his
new pet. None of his housekeepers were omegas. They were all betas, submissive ones at that. He didn't want to deal with any unwanted omegas trying to pine for his attention or getting out of work for their heats. It would all be too much of a distraction.

Slipping away inside of his room, August dimmed the lights and wondered about which skimpy night gown or lingerie set Regina would pick for his omega. He had bought a few new pieces over the last few days, in preparation for his new play toy. Stepping into the en suite, August took a few moments to examine himself in the mirror. He was a handsome man and he knew that, with his bulking muscles and neatly kept facial hair. He turned his head from side to side, making sure his mustache didn't need any attention before he began to undress. Leaving only his boxers on, August left his bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Not much time passed as he waited, and when he heard the quiet knock at the door, a wide grin settled on his face. "Come in." August's eyes were trained on the door, beginning to feel anxious as he waited for Sophia to open the door. He always got excited when he had a new omega for the first time, but this time felt different. Sophia had never been claimed and that was new to him. She was untouched by any other alpha, he would be her first. And her last.

When the door finally pushed open, August's eyes lit up as he tilted his head. "There we go, all nice and clean for me." Her hair was shiny, no longer greasy and whatever soap Regina had used was complimenting Sophia's refreshing scent. "I bet you feel better, don't you?" He rose from where he had been sitting on the bed. "Where is my thanks, omega?"

@ castle.

Sophia had resigned herself to her fate and now that she was being thrust into an entirely different situation, it had completely renewed her fear. She had only gotten a brief glimpse at August but that had been enough to confirm that she didn't want to upset him. He was built of muscle and she was, well, she wasn't. Standing in front of him made her skin crawl, her heart skipping a beat as he spoke to her. "Y-Yes, sir," she whispered, letting out a shaky breath. Her mind was racing a mile a minute and she couldn't seem to calm her thoughts but when August asked for his thanks, she froze. Her breath caught in the back of her throat and her eyes fixated on one spot. She wasn't used to pleasing an alpha. She didn't know what August wanted from her. The only thing she could think to do was present.

She changed a look toward the bed that August sat on, wondering briefly if it was appropriate to kneel on it to present. The floor would surely hurt her knees but August wouldn't care about that. Maybe he would even enjoy that. With a deep breath, Sophia tiptoed toward him, until she stood a foot or so in front of him.

Turning her back to him, Sophia's fingers clung to her little outfit. Did she leave it or take it off? Deciding it was best to leave it, after all she had been put in it for a reason, Sophia lowered herself to her knees. She wondered if this was going to hurt, she'd never laid with anyone before. Not a beta, not another omega, and certainly never an alpha. It was all unchartered territory to her. Sophia leaned forward on her hands, lowering her chest to the floor until she was even with it, her ass in the air. The panties she wore left little to the imagination and she couldn't help but shiver, slick coating the inside of them. To be presenting to an alpha felt right to her but she wouldn't dare say anything because she was sure every omega felt the same way. It was their biology, there was no room to escape it.

Sophia screwed her eyes shut, hoping that her choice had been the right one. She couldn't be sure but anything else seemed outrageous, she certainly shouldn't have tried touching him without express permission, even if it was to show him thanks.

August's eyes tracked her every movement. Watching her face as she seemed to be confused, her eyes flicking around the room as she no doubt was trying to decide the best course of action. A small smirk appeared on his face when she began to step up to him. She was an omega with no experience, so he was curious to see what she thought was the right thing to do.

Looking down at her, he locked his gaze with hers for just a moment before she turned her back to him. One of his eyebrows raised, and his arms crossed tightly over his chest, though he said nothing and continued to watch her. She dropped to her knees and pressed her chest into the floor, hiking her ass up in the air for him. "Well, that's a good girl..." August smiled, almost surprised.

He smacked his hand against her ass, leaving a bright red handprint in its place. His cock was already hardening behind his boxers, pressing harshly against the restraining fabric, throbbing for Sophia. August pushed her panties to the side, giving him a clear view of her pink cunt, swollen from anticipation. Slick glistened against her folds and he couldn't stop the wide grin that appeared on his face. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're excited, omega."

@ castle.

Sophia could have cried from the relief she felt when August praised her. It was minuscule, it didn't really matter that he was calling her a good girl but it was something. It meant that she wasn't a bad girl. That was something. She exhaled slowly, only to yelp as August's hand connected with her ass. Her eyes widened as she shuddered, wanting to reach back and cover herself but she managed to ball her hands into fists instead.

Her past heats had never been sated, Sophia had lived through them in pain and suffering. There was a mild sense of relief that Sophia felt because she thought that now that she was with an alpha, she wouldn't suffer so bad during that time. August would want to take her during her heat. Right? The thought alone would have been enough to excite her but now that she was out of the warehouse, cleaned properly, Sophia was able to inhale August's scent properly for the first time. He smelled like a campfire, warm and smokey, something that excited her more than she thought it should.

Sophia bit back a whimper as her cheeks turned bright red. August pointing out just how turned on she was made her feel ashamed. August had bought her, she was nothing more than property to him. And yet she was excited for him to touch her. She bit gave a tiny nod of her head, spreading her thighs a bit more to invite him. "P-Please.. please, sir," Sophia's voice squeaked as she spoke, betraying just how nervous and unsure she was of what she was doing. So far, it seemed like she was making August happy and that was all that really mattered.

August knew soon Sophia would be begging please for an entirely different reason. It always started like this, a sweet little omega unable to ignore her instincts, thinking she wanted him. Pushing his boxers down his hips, they dropped to the floor and August stepped out of them. "Eyes forward, omega. No looking." August wanted it to be a complete surprise for her. If she peeked over her shoulder and saw how large he was... Well, she would have to take it regardless, but he enjoyed the element of surorise. He wrapped his hand around his cock, giving himself a few pumps before he mounted her.

The tip of his cock pressed against her slit and for a moment, even August wondered if she'd be able to take him. It didn't matter, he'd make it fit. Without much of a warning, he grabbed her hips and forced himself inside. It was a very tight fit, and before he was even half in, he could feel Sophia's whole body tense and hear the way she gasped in pain. Her walls stretched around him and August just continued to push himself in, wanting to feel himself completely buried inside.

Her slick was gushing, the only thing that helped alleviate any of the pain. But most likely not by much. With a quick buck of his hips, he was completely inside. Pulling back on her hips, August grabbed a handful of her ass, grunting as he moved ever so slightly. "So fucking tight..."

@ castle.

August's title was on the tip of her tongue when he instructed her to remain looking forward. She wanted so badly to turn back to him and see what was coming, she wanted to admire August. She had only had a few moments to look at him but that had been enough to cement in her mind that August was attractive. And he was a powerful alpha. Her inner omega was practically purring, slick oozing from her core as August moved behind her.

He breath hitched as she felt August's tip against her entrance. Sophia squeezed her eyes shut, trying to remain calm as August started to press into her. It wasn't so bad at first, just an uncomfortable pressure but when August continued pressing into her, she couldn't help but tense and cry out. She arched forward, trying to will herself to relax. This wasn't something that Sophia had ever done but she wasn't stupid. She knew trying to pull away from him would serve to anger him.

Sophia let out a sharp cry as August buried himself inside. Her eyes widened slightly, her lips parting around a sob. Her toes curled as she tried desperately to remind herself what her place was. She was August's, she belonged to him. She was supposed to do whatever August wanted her to do, even if it hurt. Even if it was something she didn't necessarily want to do. "P-Please... it's so.. b-big.. fuck," Sophia whimpered, slumping against the floor.

August pressed into her further, enjoying how she slouched against the floor, unable to even keep her head up. He was surprised she managed to keep herself still, having half expected her to try and get away from him. Her cries only served to inflate his ego, a sly smirk pulling at the corners of his mouth. "You can handle it," he groaned as he began to move his hips, feeling how the walls of her core tightened around him, almost having to force himself out of her.

"You'll grow to love this feeling, omega," August groaned, reaching forward with one hand to tangle her thick dark hair around his hand. He forced her head up off the floor, slamming his hips into her. "You'll beg to feel this full again when I'm done." Not that there was every any chance of her getting free of him, but a beta would never be able to satisfy Sophia again. Ever. She would always crave an alpha's touch.

Continuing with a steady pace, August clenched his jaw, finding he was gaining more satisfaction from hearing Sophia's cries, pleading for him to just be a bit softer. He wouldn't. Ever. "Just wait till you get to take my knot," his voice dipped, "Mmm, can't wait..." Despite her strangled cries, her core was only beginning to accommodate to him, becoming slicker with each thrust. Soon, he was fucking her relentlessly, her body completely giving in to him.

@ castle.

Sophia whined as August settled into a rhythm, each thrust making her cries louder than the last. Tears welled in her eyes as she bit back a sob, trying to remind herself that if she didn't please August that she would suffer. If she thought this was bad, Sophia was sure that it would only serve to get worse. Sophia forced herself up on her knees when August yanked on her hair. She arched into his grip, trying to lessen the pain.

She was sure that Sophia would never want to experience this again. Sophia had been hopeful that she would enjoy this. It was in her blood to serve an alpha and yet it was nothing compared to what she had hoped for. Her pleas hadn't seemed to do anything at all to ease August fucking her. Sophia gasped and whimpered, beginning to squirm against him despite not truly trying to pull away. At the mention of August's knot, Sophia's blood ran cold. The thought of being stretched even more than she already was...

Sophia felt her cunt spasm around August despite how she felt. There was no way that her body wouldn't respond to August. Considering he was such a strong and capable alpha, Sophia was sure if they had met under different circumstances she probably would have thrown herself at him. The safety an alpha could provide was better than being on the streets or.. what she had suffered the past six months. SHe would do anything if it meant not being subjected to either of those. "P-Please. Need you. Wanna.. wanna feel your knot stretching my little pussy. Please," the words came pouring out of her mouth because she was sure they were what August would want to hear and that felt right.

August melded his body against Sophia, pressing his chest down on her back until she was almost flat against the ground. His lips trailed from shoulder to shoulder, his teeth grazing against her skin as he nipped and bit along. Sophia's crying and pleading only served to harden August's cock more, and he had stamina. He could go as long as he wanted, and he knew he wanted to make sure Sophia was raw and could barely walk when he was finished.

"Shh," he laughed against her ear, raking his hands down her sides. He could tell there wasn't much truth behind her words. Her body wanted him, sure, but that was her nature. August knew if Sophia really had a choice, she would want him off of her. "You don't have to try and sweet talk me, your crying does enough." He wondered if Sophia would look into his words, if they would send chills down her spine. Rough sex wasn't the only thing she was going to dread in this relationship.

A loud growl rumbled from his chest when he felt Sophia's cunt tighten and spasm around his cock. It only made him take longer strokes, made him make sure he was completely stuffing his cock in her. "You can tell me it hurts, sweetie, but you're being a good little omega," he panted, as he lips trailed over her neck. Feeling her orgasm from the rough fuck made him want to claim her, it was the best time. Her body was betraying her, claiming her would only make her feel worse. It would ensure she knew there would be more of this.

Sinking his teeth into her neck, he wrapped his arms around her torso tightly and felt his knot swell at the same time. Locking his teeth in place, he gave her his knot, loudly groaning into her skin.

@ castle.

Sophia's arms were wobbling as she tried to support both of their weights when August pressed against her back. There was little fight for her to give, only lasting for a moment or two before she collapsed beneath August's body. She whimpered as her thighs spread, trying to allow August more access to her. There was nowhere for her to go, no part of her could pull herself away from him and she wasn't about to try to do anything about it.

Slumping against the floor, Sophia could only whimper and moan as August's words. Something about the way he spoke made her blood run cold. There wasn't enough time for her to consider the implications of what August had said, his thrusts the only thing that she could focus on. Sophia had no way to know what was coming or how it would feel to cum for the first time. Her cunt tightened around August, a strangled moan sounding from her lips as her eyes squeezed shut. Her toes curled and she whined, pressing back against August.

The only thing that was a relief to her was when August called her good. That was all Sophia cared about because she was sure if she upset him, that he would hurt her and she couldn't have any hope of defending herself. Some part of Sophia wanted to reach back and cling to August, comforting herself with him but she couldn't bring herself to. Her hands were balled into fists by her head and she stared at one, whimpering and shuddering as August slammed into her for the last time.

Sophia's eyes flew open, her lips parting as she cried out. "F-Fuck," she stuttered, tears leaking out of the corners of her eyes. She couldn't stop them, August's knot stretching her impossibly more. In moment, she was focused on the way he was stretching her and in the next, August's teeth were sinking into her neck. Her inner omega preened as she tilted her head to the side, trying to give August as much access to her neck as he could. "Alpha," she whispered, her hand unfurling shakily. Sophia was desperate to touch him, to bury her face in his neck and find comfort in his embrace but she wouldn't do a damn thing unless August told her to.

August rode his climax out, only pulling his teeth away from the bite when he was ready to. Locked in place, he pressed Sophia's back tightly against his chest as they relaxed into the floor. August was panting hard, his breathing deep and heavy, his chest rising and falling. "Omega," he answered her, rolling them so he was on his back and she was laying comfortably on top of him. That was one thing August could promise her, to be loyal. At least until he was bored of her. But if that ever happened, he still wouldn't just let her go.

He tilted his head down so his nose was pressed into her hair. He inhaled deeply, enjoying the fresh, spring scent that had caught his attention in the first place. It still seemed to have the same effect it had earlier that day. August wondered how long it would take until it not longer overwhelmed his senses. Until he would tire of it.

Running his hands down her breasts, down over her stomach, he closed his eyes and tried to relax. She was shaking, her breath catching every time she inhaled and August wondered if it was more from her orgasm, or the pain she was reeling from. "Was that everything you thought it would be? Your first time with an alpha?" His laugh echoed around his dark room, finally pushed Sophia off of him when he was able to. Sitting up, he leaned over to fix the silk panties Sophia wore back into place. If his semen leaked out of her all over her panties, then good. She wasn't allowed to go clean up. Sophia would go about the rest of her evening filthy from him.

Pushing himself to his feet, August ran a hand through his sweaty hair and scrunched his face up. "I'm going to shower. I expect a cold beer waiting on me when I'm finished. Dinner too. Figure it out, omega."

@ castle.

Sophia preened at the title. It felt so much different than before she had been claimed. She wanted to roll over and submit to him, she wanted to wrap her arms around him and be at peace here. Every inch of her body was begging her to be wrapped in his arms but she wasn't foolish. Unless August told her to move, Sophia was going to stay right there on his chest. She exhaled slowly, chewing on the inside of her lip as August scented her. She shivered, unable to contain her whine when he pushed her off of him. Sophia wanted to protest, wanted to ask to cuddle for a moment longer as he replaced her underwear in place.

She felt wrong, feeling his cum leaking out of her as she started to sit up. Sophia's lips opened and she wanted to ask if she could just him to shower but in the next moment, August was ordering her to figure out dinner and he wanted a beer. That squashed her hope to ask before she'd managed to speak. Sophia was relieved because she was sure that it probably would have been the wrong question to ask him.

Turning, Sophia wrapped her arms around her torso in an effort to help hide as she tiptoed out of the room. Each step that Sophia took made her wince. She was raw from August fucking her but she wasn't foolish. If she stayed in the room and didn't deliver, August would surely be upset with her. She bit back a sigh as she found the kitchen, eyeing the servant inside warily.

"S-Sir... would like dinner. D-Do I.. cook.. or?" Sophia's words were quiet, hesitant to even interrupt the servant who glared at her before shaking her head and setting about making a meal suited for August. Sophia grabbed a cold beer from the fridge, her stomach growling at the sight of so much food. Her mouth watered and she wondered if August would let her eat his scraps. If there were scraps left over. The thought alone excited her as she made her way back up to August's room with the beer tucked into her arm, clinging to the plate of warm food like her life depended on it.

Sophia set both items down on the small table in the corner of the room. She squirmed, wanting to sit comfortably on one of the chairs or even in the bed but she decided not to risk it. Instead, Sophia knelt by the table, her head lowered as she willed herself to relax.
