36.

The Alpha's cocky expression suddenly faltered for the briefest moment before quickly recovering, keeping his stance cool and impassive as he silently continued to look at her for another few paces of time.



Complete and utter silence befell around them as well, the BloodHound and his illyrian companion refusing to even breathe as they stared at the little earthling before them with such sickening shock and terror.



Had she finally succumbed to one of those earthian mental breakdowns?



Meoni's lips parted to let out an anguished sound as that gun suddenly cocked at Madeleine's temple, hearing Emerick rather breathlessly call out her name into a desperate plea.



"Madeleine..."



However, the girl's undivided attention remained trained on the Alpha, gauging his every little reaction as those dark blue galaxy eyes refused to leave her own, probably trying to detect any hesitations from her part and call her bluff.



Not that he would find any...



She thought with determination, her teeth grinding with angst as she prepared herself to just press against that small trigger under her finger and fuck it all, once and for good.



However, before she could complete her task and release that shot her hand remained frozen at her side as if held by an unseen force as the Alpha performed a simple snap of his fingers, rendering her powerless and utterly shocked.



"Pardon my human language, but I must exclaim you are truly fucking mental," Elias commented, disregarding that wildly horrified look on the little earthling's face as he proceeded to take a few languid yet deliberate steps in her direction.



"You were prepared to throw your life away, just like that, for another being that not only is directly responsible for dragging you through all of this chaos, but he also commited the vile act of forcefully taking you," His head tilted to the side as he continued to observe her with sheer intrigue.



"I swear humanity never ceases to amaze me," He softly said whilst his galaxy eyes found her wide and glossy ones, expressing a mild yet satisfied smirk.



"You can lay your arms down now," Elias ordered to their audience, his gaze never leaving hers.



"You win. I concede before you, little warrior. I will grant your wishes," He lastly said with a small bow.



"You can come closer now, sola. I will honor my words," He suavely said to her, like the tempting sin beckoning her to just raise herself back up to her feet and start walking towards him, the girl barely aware of her own actions as she soon found herself standing right in front of him like a quiet and obedient little servant.



What the hell? What the fuck was he doing to her?!? And most of all, how?



"But first, you will have to honor yours," He leaned forward to whisper close to her face, her eyes immediately widening as she was quick to realize exactly what he was implying with that.



No...



Goosebumps formed all over her skin as she felt the touch of his large and warm hands taking ahold of her small waist, trailing over her stomach as he ripped that belt off of her, stripping her of every single weapon she had on herself. And with a swift and powerful tug he hoisted her up against him, throwing their frozen audience one last look before disappearing into thin air.





Both Emerick and Meoni remained rooted to their places, still rendered into a state of temporary incapacity as they widely stared at that spot where they'd lastly seen Madeleine and the Alpha.



Damned be the seven worlds.



Meoni's contemplative gaze swept over the crowded atrium, lastly finding Emerick's.



One look was all they shared, the BloodHound silently telling her what she already knew.



There was only one way out now. Fight to the death.





**





Madeleine's breath came out in quick and laboured puffs as she widely stared at the Alpha, barely noticing they were now back into that room she'd previously slept in a few times.



"W-what just happened?" She anxiously stuttered out, quickly taking a few steps back as she noticed his intention of touching her again.



"What did you do? What did you do to me?" She cried out as the effect of whatever kind of spell he'd cast on her had completely worn off now, allowing her to move and feel on her own.



"You don't have to fear me, sola. I will not hurt you,"



He leisurely took a few steps closer, effectively backing her into a wall as she certainly did not believe a single word coming out of his mouth and felt more scared that ever, after what he'd done to her.



What kind of weird sorcery was that? Did he actually have the ability to bend her to his will with the force of his mind alone, and turn her into a stringless puppet?



She mildly shivered with horror at the thought.



"What kind of creature are you?"



She audibly whimpered as she noticed the way he was now staring at her, as if she were some fresh meat and he was the hungered lion ready to pounce on her.



"As of right now, I am your personal slave," He rather sensually said whilst approaching her until there was no more distance to cover, making her instinctually press herself against that wall into a hopeless attempt to somehow escape him.



"Even if it pains me to accept, I must confess that you, a feeble little earthling has managed to achieve the impossible," He wryly chuckled, reaching out to take a lock out of her wild and wavy brown hair before proceeding to softly twirl it between his fingers, all the while Madeleine just stared up into his sparkling galaxy eyes, too frightened to even dare move anymore.



"You have altered me," He confessed with a more sober tone, earning himself a completely lost look from her.



"You have evoked within me, these experiences, these sensations that weren't even supposed to be there in the first place," The back of his fingers gingerly glided over her cheek as he spoke, leaving a trail of cold shivers and goosebumps all over her skin as he followed his own actions.



"It appears that you, my dear, might truly be my destined one after all, regardless of your genetic heritage," His star-dotted eyes found hers again, clouding with brazen desire as his long fingers delicately wrapped around her neck, making her heart beat faster as she did not know what to expect next.



What was he going to do to her?



"My sola, my one and only," He softly whispered with pride against her lips as he leaned closer and tilted her chin up, barely feeling the moment his other hand wrapped around her right thigh, his thumb moving in slow and circular motions over that exact same spot he'd bitten some time ago.



And right on cue, Madeleine's body almost immediately reacted to that certain touch, like powered by a switch her eyes rolling upwards as if falling into a trance-like state as the Alpha's thumb insisted over that sensitive spot, over and over again.



What...are you doing?



Her mind asked the words her lips could not form as he continued to touch her, her vision turning a little bit hazy as she started feeling his sultry caresses all over her skin even though he was not even touching her, apart from that pressure against her thigh.



"It maddens me so to think that you were ready to leave me, and for such a nonsensical reason too," He continued to speak, appearing to completely ignore her turmoil as she softly gasped as soon as she felt that liquid trail from in between her pulsing folds over the inside of her thighs, reason slowly but surely leaving her as it was being gradually replaced by that building need of release.



"I will not let you. I cannot," He told her, firmly taking ahold of both her thighs and wrapping them around his waist as he pinned her against that wall, allowing her to feel the hard and sturdy outline of his erection poking at her soaking lips, making her let out an involuntary moan.



"You are mine, my precious little sun and I will never allow you to abandon me. I would sooner destroy Celesta along with all of its inhabitants than ever letting you go," He thunderously vowed, thrusting himself against her barely covered pussy once and making her escape another wanton moan, her breath coming out in audible pants through her mouth as that need kept pushing her resolve to dangerous heights.



She could not think straight anymore. It felt like her body wasn't even hers anymore as it had so easily switched from fear to this unreasonable want, making her react so strangely even to the mildest touches of his.



"I can only be this selfish for you, my sola," She barely heard him say as those lips approached hers so dangerously close again, hypnotizing her even further, to the point where she finally lost herself completely.



And only then, Elias' thin lips smashed against hers into a hot and passionate kiss, devouring her mouth as if it were the most delicious fruit he'd ever tasted.



And indeed it felt exactly like he'd expected it to be. Indescribable.



His tongue licked at the seam of her lips, desperate for more as he looked into her half-closed earthian eyes for a moment.



"Let me worship you like no one else can, or ever will," He murmured against her lips before giving her another lustful and wet kiss, planting ghostly touches and images of him taking her into a slow and seductive way in her mind, giving her just a taste of what he could do to her.



"Yes..." Madeleine breathlessly moaned out without thinking, too enraptured to even try and stop him and barely aware as he lowered her back to her feet and bent one knee right in front of her, placing her leg over his shoulder and finally throwing the front of her dress over her thigh, revealing her bare and soaking wet center to him.



The girl’s own raggedy breaths reached her ears, the world around her completely blurred as she gazed through hooded lids at the powerful Alpha kneeling right in front of her bared pussy.



Something small, tiny as a flickering light within her screamed at the back of her mind, relentlessly struggling to conjure up her will to resist and fight when the Alpha’s tongue suddenly flicked over her slit, making her let out a pleasurable mewl.



Slow and passionate, he ventured even deeper and plunged his tongue into her, earning himself moan after moan and tiny cries as well as he took a firmer hold of her thighs and held her in place as he assaulted that most sacred part of her, torturing her in the most carnal ways as he licked and sucked at her clit and folds until her legs trembled, letting go with a loud cry as he thrusted his tongue into her a few more times.

Thick and warm rivulets soaked that place between her thighs, trailing over the Alpha’s chin and chest and dripping over the spotless floor as well as Madeleine struggled to regain her wits, barely seeing straight and almost losing her footing as Elias momentarily let go of her to raise himself back up into a standing position.



She barely heard him say something to her in that weird language of theirs as he quickly discarded his robe and shirt, standing half-naked before her.



And with a swift move, he took ahold of both her wrists and pinned them above her head while his other hand gently wrapped around her throat, leaning closer again and allowing her to feel the scorching heat of his skin so close to hers.



Yet before he could even lean in to press his lips against hers again a round of loud bangs rung in her ears, momentarily deafening her and making her cry out in fear as she could feel that warm and thick liquid splattering over her face, neck and chest.



Shocked and still struggling to comprehend what happened, she watched how the Alpha fell to his knees first, lastly falling into a bloody heap at her feet, her gaze meeting Emerick's as she looked across the room, noticing him standing there covered in blood and with a gun still pointed in her direction as he breathed fast and hard.
