Not far from her, a redhead jerked around and took a sniff.

Tina could smell the Alpha’s body odor, reciprocating her own. It was too strong, too sweaty and pungent. She didn’t like it but her body still hummed despite her mind.

“Hello, my little lady,” the redhead stalked over in no time, “having trouble with something? I might be able to help out, what do you say?” She gestured at her pants, showing off her growing hardness.

“No, thank you. I’m ok.” Tina pulled on the leather jacket Bette left beside her, in attempt to cover herself with the comforting musk. But it made it worse, her clit pulsed hard when she basked in the lingering presence of the brunette.

Offended by the scent of another Alpha, the redhead growled out, and reached to grab at Tina. She smelled like a civet, cunning and bitter. “Oh come on, you certainly need an Alpha to satisfy your need, don’t you?”

Before the civet could catch her, there was a man coming up from behind, his chest heaving, sweat trickling down his neck. He looked like he had been in his own heat for a while.

As the two shoved at each other, Tina discreetly backed away, desperate to find Bette. Then she bumped into a strong chest, whose owner chuckled, “Hello sweetie, come to daddy.” His animalistic scent instantly trapped her.

“Please… Please I can’t.” With gentle sobs, Tina tried to fight him, “I already have a mate… I’m just waiting for her to come get me.”

“Then she’s a fool not to have knotted you.” Another voice claimed, and with a whip in the air, a blow landed on the man’s nose.

The crowd started to stir as two fights broke out, heavy, sticky stench of the dominant personas clouding the space. She was shoved around, grabbed at, and pushed over by all kinds of people.

Startled Betas and mated Alpha-Omega pairs rushed for breathable air.

Her legs became wobbly. Another full-force heat flooded her, knocking her down to the floor. Dark descended upon her, and served as a temporary escape from the most torturous heat she had ever experienced.

———

At that memory, she screwed her face in shame. She should’ve seen it coming, being with Bette only ever brought her sensations that she never anticipated.
