Chapter 23: A temporary mark

Getting Strawberry to calm down is like calming an enraged wolf. The more I tried to make it easier for him, the more difficult he made it for me.

"Touch me." He breathed on my neck. His pants were like that of a person who ran miles. Sweat trickled down his body as he thrashed.

"I can't do that."

Even if I wish to. Even if my wolf wanted nothing more but to have him, I can't do this to him. He hates me already as it is. I can't afford to make him abhor me because I couldn't keep my prick in my pants!

"Just a touch. I won't fight you." He circled his hands around my neck. His hot breath on my neck aroused me more than anything else has.

My fangs grew, and I could feel the shift in the air. Yet, I didn't do as he asked. I bit hard on my bottom lip, to keep my sanity, as I tried to calm him down.

Blood trickled down the side of my mouth. I swiped my tongue out to lick it, but Strawberry did the unexpected. He leaned towards me and licked the blood.

He purred as he whipped the blood off his lip, and that sound went straight to my groin. Goddess gracious. What am I ever going to do with this Omega?

"Please, I need more." He rocked his arse on my thighs.

"Stop!" I growled at him. I was frustrated by what he was doing, and my reaction to him. He wasn't the only one sweating buckets. Sweat trickled down my face as I tried to fight off his sweet scent.

Before his heat was induced, Strawberry had the sweetest smell, but now, it has multiplied tenfold. I'm afraid that my rut might be forced if I didn't do anything to calm Strawberry.

And that right there is my problem. Aside from… Ahem… the normal way of easing an Omega's heat, I can't think of anything else. Though we have been taught something concerning that in class, I never paid attention.

A cry tore from Strawberry's gut. It was enough to get my attention back to him.

I cradled him to myself. "What's wrong?" I asked, despite knowing what his issue is. Strawberry is in serious pain, and I'm the only one who can help him. Yet, I'm not ready to jeopardize our 'relationship' for a few hours of pleasure — though the said hour of pleasure can help him.

"Mark me." He whispered in a voice that sounded so pained, it broke my heart. It made it feel like I'm walking on broken shards, which I broke.

At his words, I recalled something. Though a temporary mark only subsides the pain for a few hours, it's enough to get him off me, so I can start working out a way to return him to the academy — to get some suppressants for him.

I gently brought his face closer. His eyes were closed, and his breath was raspy. The tight lines on his forehead showed how much pain his heat caused.

I won't ever doubt it if I'm told that this is his first heat.

I gently lowered my head to his neck.

He shivered when my breath touched the naked skin of his neck, just above his jugular. He swallowed. Blindly, with his eyes still closed, he wrapped two hands around my neck and brought my face closer.

I didn't wait. I gently pierced the skin of his neck. He sucked in a breath before he shuddered. Though I never intended to hurt him, I know I couldn't help his first time.

A scream tore from his throat when I pierced hard into his skin — enough to draw blood. He thrashed, but I held him, with my teeth still lunged deep into his skin.

"It hurts." He shivered before me before a sigh escaped his lips. He lay limp on my arms as I licked the spot, to seal the wound. Strawberry was now fast asleep, probably stunned by the bite.

I peered into his peaceful sleeping face. Long lashes fanned his cute face. It made him seem like an out worldly being. I haven't seen a male Omega as cute as him. Not that I will bother with anyone, though.

I'm hooked by this damned Strawberry, who doesn't know what he did with just a word. I pecked him on his forehead before I gently made to lower him to the ground — I need to take care of something else.

Though he has calmed down, his scent is still heavy in the air. I need to calm my wolf down before I go insane.

He tightly held on to me. His once peaceful face, had frown lines on them as he held my shirt like his life depended on it.

He murmured low in his throat before his features relaxed once more. His brows ceased to crease.

"If only you will cling to me this way when you wake." I gently pinched his cheeks. My cute strawberry will throw a tantrum should he get to discover that I held him this way throughout the night…

But for now, I don't mind the tantrums. I was only concerned about how he will feel when he gets to know that I gave him a temporary mark.

Will he push me down the hole he rescued that female Omega from? Funny enough, I won't even put up resistance should he ask for that. I will willingly jump in without being pushed. And that scared me.

I've never, and I repeat, never felt this way for another person. It's scary but at the same time, it's warm and makes me wish to bask in the feeling.

I carried him through the halls of the school. The sun hasn't risen yet, and he's still sleeping. I didn't sleep a wink last night because he refused to let me go. I stayed up all night listening to the howls of the others, and the occasional whimpering Strawberry expels whenever his body heats up.

It was one hell of a long night for me — one I will never ask for a repeat of.

I rushed towards the infantry, only to be stopped by the only teacher keeping guard on this side of the school. You would have thought they will increase security with what's happening in the academy lately.

"Storm?" He sounded shocked when he saw me. His green eyes immediately went to Strawberry, who was still soundly sleeping, before they returned to mine. There were so many emotions that flashed through his eyes. First was his surprise to see me before it turned to curiosity the moment he laid eyes on Strawberry, only for it to change to suspicion before it went blank.

"What are you doing with an Omega in heat?" His green eyes darkened with suspicion. He sniffed the air once more before his eyes widened. "Did you mark him?"

The way his tone went down by an octave, made me raise a brow.

"I did mark him, but that's to help him — temporarily, that will be."

"You marked him without his permission? You should have known better—"

"I marked him to help him. Now, I'm taking him to the infirmary, so he could get a suppressant. The mark I gave him will disappear in four days."

Though I wish it could last for eternity. When an Omega gets marked by an Alpha, he's tied to the Alpha forever — that's what I wish to do to Strawberry. One day, I will permanently mark him, and tie him to my side, never to let go.
