The Alpha's Omega Mate-Chapter 164: Aftermath.

~Dahlia’s POV~

My heart beat wildly against my chest as I glanced around the pitch black room worriedly. It took me ten solid minutes to get my shit together and when I finally did, I painstakingly dragged my wobbly legs against the carpeted floor, made my way to the single battery lamp in the room and switched it on.

The once dark room was suddenly plunged into a dim golden hue. I gasped.

Really, that had been a dream!

Everything...

I was not in some fancy bed with both of my mates eating me up. I was in my room... with my daughter...

Oh gods, how close is my heat cycle again?

A blush colored my face when I pictured myself sandwiched between the two men that the moon goddess had so generously cursed me with and I heaved a sigh as I pushed myself away from the lamp. But just as I was about to peel off my sweat drenched dress, my door creaked open. My hands on my flimsy dress straps froze and my jaws dropped when Kai’s head appeared in view.

He looked sleepy, his hair as messy as a bird’s nest. My breath caught in my throat when a vision of him ramming into my mouth flashed across my mind and I dropped my head quickly, suddenly feeling extremely anxious and embarrassed.

I rasped out; "What the hell are you doing here?!"

Kai’s eyes flashed with something I couldn’t quite decipher and then he proceeded to trail those stupidly beautiful red orbs along my body. When his eyes stopped at my hardened nipples peeking through my flimsy dress, he stopped and clucked his tongue.

"I heard you screaming... probably in your sleep. I thought you were having a nightmare and came over."

Goddess, my face burned.

In fact, ’burn’ was an understatement.

I pressed my lips together, unsure of what I was supposed to say and when he still wouldn’t walk away, and still stood there, eye-fucking me with those eyes like gems, I lost it.

"Yes, I was having a nightmare!" I snapped, throwing my hands out in frustration. "Can you leave now?"

Alpha Kai gave me one last look before withdrawing his head from the tiny crack between the door and its frame, and I had even begun to sigh in relief, thinking that he was finally going to get out of my hair— for now— when he suddenly popped into the room.

His eyes landed first on sleeping Amara and then they found mine in the dimly lit room. He drawled; "Can you tell me what it was about?"

You mean tell you about how I’d dreamt of myself taking you into my mouth?

Or how my other mate, Zarek, had been a spectator; watching us hungrily and growling here and there like a fucking primitive?

How about... Never?

I shook my head. "It isn’t important."

I had been half expecting him to put up a fight. To try to talk me into talking to him about it, so trust me when I say I was crazy stunned when he shrugged his shoulders indifferently, his eyes snagging on my now see through clothes before saying;

"Fine."

"Oh?"

"Yeah fine. I’ll just continue my walk around the house. I can’t sleep anyways." He said, and with that, turned away and began to walk out of the room.

He hadn’t gotten far when my heart soon began to feel heavy. When it soon began to feel like I couldn’t breathe anymore. The thought of having him so near... so present, yet unable to tell him how I truly felt made me uneasy.

I wish I could just wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into the deepest kiss I— easy there, baby tiger!

I gulped. "Wait!"

Kai stopped, turned around then cocked his eyebrows at me. "What is it?"

"You said you couldn’t sleep. Is something the matter?"

Again, his eyes roved my body, sending a strange kind of heat straight to my core, and I squirmed as a picture of him fisting his hands into my hair as he buried his cock into the base of my throat flashed across my mind’s eye.

I choked down a saliva, but because I’d been too clumsy or should I say flustered, it went down the wrong pipe and I soon began to cough violently.

One minute, Kai was standing by the door and the next, I blinked in surprise when I found him by my side, gently rubbing my back as he brought a satchel of water up to my lips.

His hands on my back felt familiar— of course, I was still shaken from the dream— and desperately, I scurried away from him, from his suffocating warmth and from the way my body responded like that of a female in heat.

"I had a nightmare too." He said suddenly from beside me and my eyes widened, first in confusion, then realization.

"Oh. That’s why you cannot sleep?"

"Of course, Dahlia," he groaned. "Why are you sounding like you’re rebooting?"

Because I am!

My face tingled when he swiped off a spot by the corner of my mouth where water was once trickling down from and I gulped when something about that action made my heart go on overdrive.

Get a grip on yourself, Dahlia.

’How can you? When he’s literally a Greek god?!’ My wolf argued but I shook my head, ignoring her.

"Thank you." I managed to mutter, and when he nodded; I continued; "Can you tell me what you dreamt about?"

"Huh?"

"Like the content of your nightmare and why you can’t go to bed after?" I rephrased my words, but as soon as the words slipped past my mouth, Kai’s eyes darkened.

But not in a bad way.

He seemed like he was deep in thoughts, but when he lifted back his eyes to meet mine, I was stunned at the amount of desire flooding through his gaze... and the want... and then every other maniacal thing you could think of.

He smirked; "do you promise to tell me yours if I tell you mine?"

Again, a flash of that crazy dream flashed across my mind. And for a minute, I could see his hungry eyes, could hear his strangled moans and grunts... I could even see Alpha Zarek’s green orbs following me around like a beam.

I quickly shook my head. "No."

Kai watched my face for a moment, his look intense; and then with a shrug of his shoulders, he snickered; "fine then. I can’t tell you mine either... but from the way you’re going about it, one would think you had a wet dream not a nightmare."

The words slipped out of his mouth so easily that it made my jaws go slack. I glared at him with a mixture of frustration and embarrassment, my face feeling like it’s been set ablaze. I snarled; "Get out!"

But Kai only chuckled, the amusement clear on his stupidly handsome face. "Now, you’re acting like I’m telling the truth."

I said nothing. I didn’t even dare move due to how flustered I was.

Kai waited for a moment for my response and when I didn’t give him any, his eyes widened and a smile— one that I knew too well— nearly split his face in half.

"You were?!" It was not a question, it was an accusation. "You were actually having a wet dream!"

"Kai stop!" I screamed, now hiding my face in my hands, and gods I wanted to smack his face when he held up his hands in fake surrender, his eyes still twinkling.

"I hope I was the subject of your dreams by the way... I hope I was the one who rattled you so bad you’re beginning to behave like a defective machin—"

"Leave!" I screamed, pushing his large back frustratedly. He wouldn’t even budge.

"Goddess, I’ve had enough!" I yelled, "...go to your room!"

Alpha Kai turned to me briefly and when I wasn’t watching, he pecked me quickly on the cheek and rushed out of my room, leaving me snarling at his retreating frame in annoyance and frustration... and something else. Something that made my cheeks burn and my stomach twist into knots.

"Do not come back here!" I yelled at the top of my voice, and I faintly heard him chuckle before he replied;

"It is my house, ma’am!"

"Fuck you and your house!"

He chuckled again. "Gladly!"
