#alpha!gabriel

Stepping out the cab you took a deep breath of the salty warm air that Monte Carlo provided. With the sun bright in the sky people were out and about, chatting in various languages as you made your way to your motel. A heavy backpack threatened to drag your tired limbs down and your suitcase wheels kept catching in the brick pavers. It was a beautiful place, but your travel weary eyes from the flight over didn’t quite admire it all yet. You were glad that you had two days to make up the time before you had to attend your cousin’s wedding. She had found a good alpha to call her own, something that your mother frequently reminded you that you didn’t have.

You shook your head, trying to forget her words. Instead you focused on the only motel that you could afford. It wasn’t gross compared to motels you’d seen in horror movies, it just wasn’t a place to marvel at. The lobby was stuck between a steep set of stairs and the entrance to the on site restaurant.

“Checking in. I’m Y/N Y/L/N.” You gave a tired smile at the dark haired man at the counter.

He gave you a once over, sniffing the air. “You’re alone?” You rolled your eyes as he raised an eyebrow at you.

“Y/N Y/L/N.” You tried again, irritation growing inside you.

“Heard you the first time, Omega.” He huffed, clicking the keyboard on his computer. After a moment he was handing over your key. “Be careful now.” He reminded you like everyone else had done when you announced you’d be attending the wedding in a far away country.

“Always.” You bit back, turning quickly to the stairs. With a sigh you began dragging your suitcase up the old carpeted stairs. The climb was fine until a hurried guest bumped past you, knocking into the wall. You were about to yell out at the golden haired man, but the strong sweet smell of alpha scent made your legs slightly buckle. Using the wall for support you anchored yourself as the scent wafted in the air, smelling of chocolate, honey and vanilla turned your mind hazing for a moment. The spell seemed to break as you saw two gorgeous women stride up to the man. A feeling of annoyance took over as you watched the golden eyed man wrap his arms around the women and saunter out the lobby. He was definitely an alpha looking for someone to please him.

Shaking yourself off, you headed straight for your room to unpack and rest. The worn numbers on the door gave you a clear understanding of the room before you even opened the door. It was no surprise that the bed was sandwiched between the walls with a door leading to a small bathroom that was a little bigger than the one on the airplane to include a shower. At least you had a window for fresh air and sunlight. Taking a quick peek out you weren’t surprised that it overlooked the restaurant patio below.

“Only a week.” You reminded yourself as you began to unpack. Thankfully, you didn’t have much with you so you were able to relax on the bed rather quickly. As you stared up at the dusty ceiling, you found yourself thinking back to the alpha on the stairs. The way his scent made you feel reminded you of how your cousin described when she had met her husband-to-be. Shaking your head you decided to take in the city’s scenery out your window.

The sun was slowly moving down in the sky, but the city was alive, unbothered with time. Stretching your vision you tried to see the water, but the view out your window was more for people watching. Backpackers and college aged individuals made up most of the dinning patrons below. You were surprised to see the beautiful women and man from before dressed in lavish expensive clothes sitting down there. They seemed indifferent by the lacklusterness of it all, instead smiling and joking. You lost yourself in watching how his arms waved around as he spoke and when he would comb his fingers through his wavy hair.

A moment later you knew you were caught as you found golden eyes looking right up at you. He held your gaze for a few seconds, making your heart race in your chest. You knew you should’ve turned away, mentally beating yourself, but something made you want to keep looking.

The moment he broke it off you felt something snap inside of you. A feeling of familiarity overtook you as you ran through your memories in your head, trying to match his face to a time or place. A former co-worker? Boss? Did you ever date him? No, no and no, but that didn’t stop the nagging feeling you had.

Your phone buzzed, interrupting your thoughts. Reading the text message you let out a sigh, knowing you weren’t going to be sleeping any time soon as your cousin wanted to meet up.

“Y/N!” Your cousin, Abby, greeted you, throwing her arms around you. “How was the trip over?” She grabbed your hand, leading you into the famous Monte Carlo casino. “Did you join the mile high club?”

“Trip was long and no.” You chuckled, entranced by her excitement and the sounds around you.

“Do you play poker? James is at a table right now.” She didn’t give you a chance to answer as she rambled on about wedding details. You let her go on, watching her face light up as she spoke about everything. She continued her ramble until you got to the poker table.

“You best pull out now.” A gruff man with a vodka bottle in hand said towards James. “Before you lose everything.”

“James?” Abby rested a hand on his shoulder. “You doing alright?” She had a fake smile as you could tell she was a little nervous on what she walked into.

“Yeah...just might be an early night.” James covered her hand on his shoulder. The tension slowly fading as he was calmed by her presence.

“Slot machines might be your thing.” The vodka drinker added with a smirk.

You didn’t have to smell him to know that he was an alpha, the cockiness was enough to prove that. “We can just stroll around.” You suggested to the couple, watching a slender dress man with combed back hair approach the vodka alpha. They whispered to each other with their eyes glancing over at the three of you every now and then.

“Come on.” Abby shifted under their looks, pulling at James’s arm.

The weird moment dissipated once you got to the slot machines. Abby helped James forget about the poker game, giving her alpha kisses for each time he did well on the slots. You tried the game for a few hours until you decided to was late enough.

Your bed was a nice welcome to the long traveling day. Not even bothering with changing clothes you tucked yourself into bed, your eyes closing on their own accord. Sleep was almost at hand until you heard a headboard slam against the wall followed by a loud moan.

Another yawn escaped you as you sat with the bridal party at a local place for breakfast. Abby picked a perfect spot near the water to meet up to go over the wedding. Your role was easy as you just had to stroll down the aisle with flowers in hand as one of her maids.

“Y/N?” A friend of Abby shook your shoulder.

Quickly leaning back you blinked at the group of women staring at you. “Sorry. Did I miss something?” You could almost feel your eyelids start to drop.

“You okay?” Abby’s eyebrows furrowed.

“Sorry. Didn’t get much sleep...at all really with the traveling….and noisy neighbor at the motel.” You grunted out, remembering how your banging on the wall, telling them to quiet down seemed to spur things on.

“You heard them too?” A work buddy of Abby’s piped up. “Thankfully, I was far enough away and am hard sleeper.”

“Yeah, I wasn’t so lucky.” You mumbled, taking a sip of water. “Wish I knew who it was so I could tell management.” Even though it would be likely a lost cause to speak to the manager, your body ached for you to try.

“I’m pretty sure it was one of those guys.” The work buddy pointed at three men lingering near the front of the restaurant, waiting to be seated.

Your eyes went wide as you took in the men. The vodka drinker was one of them, along with a familiar set of whiskey eyes. Blinking a few time you check to see if it was really him. “I swear I see him everywhere.” You murmured. The alpha seemed to hear you as he sent you a warm smile. Your cheeks heated up at his charming smile. Ducking your head down you tried to make yourself smaller, feeling his gaze still on you.

“Look at Y/N blush.” Abby giggled, sending the rest of the bridal party into excited chatter. You ignored their words, sneaking a glance over at the man. No longer were his arms empty as two different women than the day before were snuggled in next to him as they were lead to a table. You watched them go before turning your attention back to the table, finding that they had already moved on to a different topic.

At the rehearsal dinner, you found yourself still preoccupied with the whiskey eyed alpha. You saw him again when you were leaving your room after you had changed for the night. There were three men around him at the end of the hallway, boasting loudly and in detail about the women and men they had been with. The scent from when you were on the staircase drifted over to you once again, making your heart beat faster.

You weren’t sure if they noticed you as you scurried out of there before your omega gave in to the smell. There was something about him that made you want to know more. Although you cautioned yourself, remembering all the women who hung around him.

“If you want you can stay in my room for the night.” A friend of the bride interrupted your thoughts. “I have a couch. I know it’s not much…”

“Thanks.” You smiled over at her. “But I bought some earplugs for tonight.” You patted your purse.

“Just let me know if you change your mind.”

True to what you had said the earplugs worked great, letting you finally get some rest. Waking up the next morning was your only time of relaxation as the rest of the day was a blur of lace, jewels, flowers and smiling. You made sure you took your suppressant that morning as you felt yourself heating up the night before. Hoping it was nothing but fatigue, you kept yourself busy with catching up with relatives. The wedding ceremony was nice with heartwarming words being shared by the bride and groom.

Hours later and you found yourself on the dance floor at the reception party located at the Monte Carlo casino. A well dressed beta had you spinning around the wood floor. Thankfully you only stepped on his foot twice, which also gave you an excuse to duck out of anymore dancing.

Reaching for a glass of water you wiped off the sweat that had gathered on your forehead. Frowning at how much there was you gulped down the water, hoping it would satisfy you. The cool liquid felt nice, but it didn’t relieve the heat that was flaring up on your skin.

Realization hit you as your stomach cramped. Despite your carefulness with daily suppressants and omega scent blocking lotion, you had started going into heat and if people didn’t smell you now they would soon. Clutching your abdomen you moved towards the exit, wanting to be safe in your motel room rather than in public.

Your legs had carried you outside the casino when another cramp hit, feeling sleek begin to coat your thighs. “Shit.” You cursed, wobbling up the road to your motel. Alpha scents made your nostrils flare, your body began shouting out at you. A need like no other possessed you, making you whine out. Rubbing your thighs together did nothing, but intensify the instinct be satisfied by an alpha.

“Little omega.” A low voice purred from behind you.

You stiffened at the alpha’s pinewood scent with a hint of beer. The smell and the voice made you feel like prey being hunted. Turning you saw another alpha with him, smelling of fresh cut grass and apples. They both looked familiar, but you couldn’t quite place them as your mind was swimming in hormones.  “Looks like she could use our help.” The posh one spoke, grinning as he took a step forward. “Unmated too.”

The other alpha, that you soon recognized as the vodka drinker grunted in approval. “She smells so sweet. Ah, nothing like a ripe omega in heat.” You took a few steps backward as they scented the air, smiling to one another.

“I-I’m fine.” You assured them as you kept making your way up the path. Only a few more blocks to go and you’d be safe in your motel room. Just spray the room to block your scent and become acquainted with your fake knot toy.

“Come now. It’s not safe for an omega in heat to be alone.” The larger alpha that smelt of pinewoods invaded your space.

“Please...I...I don’t...don’t want…” Your heart sped up as you felt your body weakening due to the near alpha. While you didn’t want to give into nature, your body had no issue with the willing alpha in front of you as more slick slid down your thighs.

“Fenrir! Sleipnir!” A voice called out from behind you. You wanted to cry as you figured how this was all going to go. Hopefully, they wouldn’t mate you. Your body jolted as a warm hand landed on your shoulder. “Thanks for keeping an eye on her, guys.” The same vanilla and honey scent from before invaded your senses. All the fear left your body as you opened your eyes that you didn’t realize you had closed. The whiskey eyed man stood next to you wearing a red suit with a challenging expression on his handsome face.

He said something to the other two men he called Fenrir and Sleipnir, but you didn’t pay attention as your body sang where he was touching you. You could faintly smell anger from the other alphas, but you were too focused on the alpha next to you that smelled so good.

A few moments later his face turned to you, giving you a once over as he put his hands on your waist. The second he touched you a spark went through your body, making your hips thrust against his body. You could feel his member grow hard and constrained against his pants as you clawed at the suit for more of his touch.

“Hey, hey. You okay?” His sweet charming voice made you only release more slick.

“Alpha.” You mewled, staring up at him as your legs buckled.
