Yuri hated it, Yuri hated being an omega. And what's worse about being an omega, is having been born in a family whose only had had alphas.
The Nikiforovs have been a very prestigous family in Russia since the Tsar were still rulling, you can say they were like dukes and ducheses. They still mantained their power through the comunism and bloomed back when the capitalism reached Russia. Prestige, power, money, they had everything they could wish for and more. No wonder Nikolai Plisetsky, the prime minister at the time, reached to them with a marriage proposal of his only child: the youngest Prima Ballerina Absoluta, Lilia Plisetsky. She was graceful and elegant, a queen made for her king.
From the marriage of Lilia and Yakov Nikiforov, were born two handsome boys and a beautiful girl: Viktor, Mila and Yuri Nikiforov. They were raised as alphas since their birth, there was no history of omegas in the family tree of neither the Nikiforov or the Plisetsky. Not to mention they both showed signs of being an alpha, though the youngest son was a bit emotional unstable for an alpha- to many hormons inside the boy. But there was also no reason to think he would end up presenting as an omega.
They were trained since young to follow their parents footsteps. Viktor, being the oldest, to be the heir of the Nikiforov fortune and companies. Mila, to become the next Prima Ballerina Absoluta as her mother was. Yuri, as the youngest, had the opportunity to make a choice and decided to follow the foot steps of his dedushka and become the next prime minister.
Going through a heat when he turned fourteen was not part of his plans... it wasn't in anyones plans.
The following month he had to hear his parents talking about finding him a well positioned alpha before his next heat, so he could fulfill his new position in life: being the perfect wife to a wealthy alpha and giving him many puppies. Yuri hated it, he hated it all. His parents for wanting to get rid of him. His siblings for not answering his calls of help when he needed them. Himself for presenting as a weak omega. His fiancé for demanding him to start behaving as an omega, telling him that the only reason why he was willing to marry an omega who was trained all his life to be an alpha was because he was a Nikiforov.
So, Yuri did what he thought the best at the moment: he runaway from home. But he did not foresee that his heat would come sooner. It normally takes six months in between heats and his was only three months ago. Though, Yuri should have seen it coming with him being a young bloomer. The usual is having your rut or heat when you turn eighteen, twenty for late bloomers. Though, young bloomers as fourteen is very unheard of. So, there is not much known about
Yuri of course was not prepared for his heat getting forward and was defenless when a bunch of alphas took him. He passed the three next days in a hellish blur, not remembering anything and fearing teh worst when he woke up in cold cell with a bunch of other omegas.
Yuri has never been so scared in his entire life. He almost burst into tears, it took all his life training as an alpha to stop himself and act strongly. But the thought of having been raped, of having lost his virginity to animals like those alphas... it had him shaking.
"Hey" Yuri flinched away when a hand touched his shoulder "Sorry, I mean no harm" a pretty girl with thick Italian accent said in Russian. She didn't cower at Yuri's death glare, gaining some respect from the newly presented omega "I am Sala, this is my twin brother Michele" she presented herself, not even bothered by the silent treatment "I just wanted to tell you that you were not raped. They need us virgin and untouched, that way they sell us for more money"
Yuri relaxed a bit by the new inormation, but soon tensed again when he processed what the other omega had just said.
He was going to be selled to the higher bitter.
He had been captured by Omega traffickers.
Once again, he had to collect all the strength he had left not to break down right there. This time around, he did not protest when the Italian girl wrapped her arms around him. The next days were much the same, some omegas were taken away some new ones were brought. They barely fed them anything, but was necessary for their survival until they were bought. The dark cold cell started to feel smaller and smaller. Yuri almost never left Sala's arms, finding comofrt on them and thanking the same God he had stopped believing in that she hasn't been taken away yet.
"The buyers prefer young omegas, not twenty-one years old Italian girl that barely speaks the language" she explained when Yuri was brave enough to finally ask "I normally would have taken that as an insult, but right now I see it as a blessing"
"Why haven't you gotten mated yet?" Yuri ask "I get why your brother hasn't, he seems to be the same as I: not interested on finding a mate. But you, from what a gathered in these past days you like the idea of being courted and finding a good alpha mate"
"Our parents are very overprotective and taught us since we were young that alphas are not to be trusted, they are both betas. My brother took those lessons to heart and spent most of his time thinking that he has to protect me from every alpha to think of anything else, much less courting" Sala explained, caressing the beautiful golden locks of Yuri "But this last year I found the perfect alpha, she is a ballet dancer from the Bolshoi. She courted me in secret for months, I learned the language from her. My parents finally allowed me to see her, that's why I came to Russia with my brother. It was to meet her family and see if they also allow our mating. Maybe then Michele would finally let go of me and accept Emil's proposal of courting, he has been after my brother for years now. The only one who was persistent to keep on going after being turned down over and over again" she smiled sadly.
"We will find a way to get out of here" I promised her.
"If we get out of here, the first thing I will do is take a plane to Czech and ask Emil to marry me" grunted Michele in English, making the other two omegas laugh.
"Good to see that you guys have enough energy to laugh, the alphas will love that" a guard mocked, leering at them. Yuri, Sala and Michele shivered in disgust at being the center of attention of such an animal "Now I will open the cell's door and take you to get ready for the auction, you make one wrong move and I won't hesitate to beat the shit out of you. Get it?"
The alpha spoke slowly, treating them as if they were stupid. Which angered Yuri to no end, but he stopped himself from causing any trouble. The last thing he needs is Sala and Michele suffering from his reckless behavior. He let himself be dragged to a small room, where he was bathed, perfumes and dressed... as if he were a simple dool for them to play with.
No matter how much he wanted to kick and scream, he stayed quiet and waited for his turn. He was a few omegas before Sala and Michele. However, his behavior didn't mean that he was given up. Not at all. In his silence he kept looking around and scheming an escape plan. The idiot alphas were so sure of themselves that they didn't blindfold the omegas, though in their defesne most of them were dead of fear that they couldn't plan their escape.
But Yuri was not one of them.
He was raised as an alpha and trained to act like one, to know what to do in situations like this one. He is a Nikiforov which means that being kidnapped is always a possibility.
"The next one is an early bloomer, age fourteen and a very pretty kitten!" The presentors booming voice, snapped Yuri out of the memories of what used to be his life "Beautiful milky skin, golden locks and green emeralds as eyes. Still a virgin of course. But be aware, he is a fiesty one. Though, I know many of you love to break them down"
Yuri was pushed to the stage, as the rest of the alphas laughed at him. Once again he wanted to cry, loathing how they were treating him as a mere object for their amusement. But he ignored the wetness of his eyes, and glared at every single alpha that leered his way. He ignored how exposed he felt with the outfit they dressed him with, and kept his head up high. He is a Nikiforov and Nikiforovs do bow to no one.
"We will begin with 1M, who gives 1M?" That's how Yuri's nightmare began.
1M turned to 1.5M, which then became 3M, then 6M and so. Unitl they reached the sum of 20M, which no one seem to want to challenge. Yuri look at the old and fat man in disgust, wishing the ground would open then and swallow him full. Anything not to go home with a pig like him. Then, as the alpha that helpd Yuri captive was about to announce he was sold, someone else made an offer.
"50M!" The voice resonated against the walls of the auction salon.
Everyone looked at the man in shock, even Yuri. He wasn't tall as alphas normally are, but not short either. He had pale skin and raven black hair. Yuri could see his eyes from behind the mask, they were the most beautiful hazel eyes the omega had ever seen with a gleam of red. The alpha's hair was styled back, which made him look dangerous.
Now that is an alpha worth salivating after. Thought Yuri, staring at the handsome alpha that had just bought him. Snap out of it Nikiforov! He might be thin, but he is as much as a pig as the fat alpha from before.
Yuri was brought back from trance when a pair of alphas grabbed him roughly and dragged him away, towards one of the many rooms alphas used to try the merchandise they bought.
It was only when Yuri heard Sala and Michele calling out for him that he began fighting back. He was surprised when the alphas didn't stuck him down. Maybe because he now belonged to another alpha and they would pay of they hurt him.
Yuri didn't mind when they throw him into the bed, but when they chained dread filled him. How stupid could he had been? Of course, they would chain him! His plan to attack the alpha that bought him as soon as he entered the room and then escape was ruined. He will now be raped and maybe bonded to a disgusting pig!
Though, that pig is not that bad looking. A traitorous voice said within him.
Yuri cursed his omega nature in moments like this.
Yuri began to struggle with the chains when he heard the door being opened. Like hell he will let that pig rape him without a fight!
Yuri began to curse the alpha in Russian, kicking his legs so the one that bought him couldn't get closer. However, he was rapidly overpowered. The alpha was over him in seconds, holding his arms still so the chains would stop making a sound and locking his legs.
Yuri suddenly stilled and was about to finally break down and cry his heart out... but the alphas next words stunned him.
"I am not here to rape you" he said in English "I am working undercover for the police. I need you to calm down and help me out. Ok?" Yuri could only nod, a few tears leaking because his prayers were answered "I've done this before and what always repeats itself, is that alphas do not blindfold the omega they captured. You were the first omega in the auction and they won't continue until they had checked that I had paid the exact amount I promised. As I paid in cash that will give us some time before they continue the auction and the opportunity to prevent, hopefully, every omega of being raped"
Yuri thought of Sala and Michele "What do you need from me?" The omega asked, determined of saving them all.
"I've done this before and what always repeats itself, is that alphas do not blindfold the omega they captured. I need you to give us all the information you have of the exits and entrances, so no alpha can smuggle omega away when the police breaks in" the alpha replied.
When the omega proceeded to tell him about every entrance and exit, and how many guards there were in each... let's just say that the alpha was surprised to say the least.
"Did you hear all that?" The alpha asked through the mic in his suit "Good" he then proceeded to take of his mask, letting his Asian features be seen "Now, let's get you out of this chains. Shall we? By the way, my name is Yuuri. What about you?"
"Shouldn't you be doing police stuff?" Grunted the omega, massaging his wrists when he finally was freed.
"I am not part of the police force, I am not even from Kazakhstan. Simply a very rich Japanese businessman who gets invited to these horrible auctions and tries to save as many omega as I can" the alpha replied, with a gentle smile, and getting off the bed. Knowing that it will make the omega more comfortable "But I know better than to play hero. If I go out there I will be more of a disturbance than of help. I know my limits"
Yuri was impressed by the alphas wisdom and wished he was mature enough to know his limits as well. That always gets him into trouble. He also appreciated that the alpha left him the bed. Not that he will admit that out loud. He has went through enough to know better than to trust alphas by now.
Then Yuri finally processed what the alpha had just said.
"Kazakhstan?! We are in Russia body!" the omega growled.
"No, we are not. It is common for alphas in omega trafficking to translate omega to different countries, so it will be more difficult for their families and the police to find them. You must have been drugged so you didn't notice being flown here" the alpha informed the omega, who was hypervilenting by now.
"It's not like my parents or the police is looking for me. I am simply a runaway whose parents think omega are only good for breeding and were about to mate him away with an abusive alpha he doesn't even know!" Yuri chuckled, humorlessly.
He really wished he could cry, he needed it. But the last thing the omega needed was to look weak in front a strange alpha in middle of what is about to be a battle field. But goddamit! After the last months of his life, Yuri truly believes he earned it.
As if the alpha read his mind: "You can cry, you know? You've earned it"
"Just because I am an omega, that doesn't mean I am weak!" Yuri snapped.
"I know!" Yuuri rapidly replied "I know that... you are so strong. I saw you on that stage and couldn't stop thinking about your eyes, the eyes of a soldier. Not willing to bow to anyone, even after the horrors you must have gone through. That requires great strength and bravery. You are strong Yuri, never doubt that. Being an omega doesn't make you different, it only means that you have the gift of having babies. That's all. But you also need to know when enough is enough... when you need to let your guard down and cry. Even alphas need to cry from time to time" Yuuri blushed "Sorry for babbling!" He apologized, sheepishly.
"You are a weak alpha" growled Yuri.
He could not believe that this was the same alpha that loudly announced he was buying him and took control of the situation at the beginning of their meeting. It was as if a switch has been flipped and the omega found himself with a complete different alpha... though, he wasn't all that bad.
"Yuri" the omega said, softly.
"Yes?" Replied the alpha.
"Not you pig!" Snapped the Russian "My name is Yuri!"
The alpha's eyes widened in realization and smiled, happy to see that this grumpy and peculiar omega that interestes him was starting to trust him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Yuri" said the older one.
Yuri looked at the alpha. The alpha that didn't treat him as a sexual toy or an object for his amusement. The alpha that treated him with respect and as an equal. The alpha that called him brave and a soldier. The alpha that proved him that not all of his kind are pigs and deserve to die.
He looked at Yuuri and the only thing he could do was cry. To finally break down and let it all out. Yuri didn't push the alpha away when he wrapped him into his arms. Specially when the gun shots began to ring. Though, it was comforting the fact that Yuuri had a gun and knew how to use it.
Yuri repeatedly cringged during the battle that was rashing outside and felt very guilty for being safe and sound in the arms of a strong alpha (though, he would die before saying that out loud), as the others were out there risking their lives. But as Yuuri had said before, he will be nothing more than an inconvenience.
When the guns and screaming stopped, Yuri looked up to the alpha for an explanation. Yuuri, on the other hand, was waiting for news from the intercom. When the older one sighed, the omega let himself slump in relief against the firm chest.
"No alpha was able to leave the scene and every single omega was saved, none raped. They also found the paperwork with the info about those omegas that have been sold before this auction. They are informing the resprctive police force about the matter right now" Yuuri began telling the young boy in his arms " We lost a few cops but most of the alphas trafficking omega died during the shooting. Those who didn't will be sentenced to a life in prison"
"What about the alphas that were here to buy omegas?" Asked Yuri, knowing how most of the time rich people get away with anything.
"Most of them are young and idiotic, rich because of their daddy's money but not smart enough to have the contacts to support a fall like this one. They will be found guilty and sentenced for being accessories of human trafficking. A few died during the shooting. And those ones that are old and wise don't have enough money to make those with real power stand behind them. The same goes for those who already bought omegas and took them home" the alpha explained, surprising the omega with another flip of the switch.
"There is only one that will give us trouble, the alpha that was about to buy you before I interrupted. He is old, smart and has the money to get away with this. He could have easily duplicated the amount I put for you, but..."
"Why spend so much money in an useless omega when they are all the same? Sluts for alphas cocks" Yuri said what the other Yuuri didn't, out of respect for the omega "It's fine, It's nothing I haven't heard before. How do you know so much? And what will they do with that disgusting alpha? Will they let him go?"
"Do you really think I simply got in, bought you and hoped that the information you gave us would have been enough?" Yuuri asked amused, earning a scowl from the omega "This took months of planification and even if you didn't have anything to give us, they would have been able to save many omegas and captured many alphas. But thanks to you, no omega was harm, no alpha escaped and the loss of officers was low. You are a hero Yuri"
The kind words of the alpha brought the young omega to the edge of tears. Yuri cuddled closer to the alpha and this time enjoyed the warmth of Yuuri.
"Also, don't worry we won't let him get away with it. What do you think I am here for? All those 50M are for this whole operation to run smoothly. Money will principally be used to fed, cloth and shelter the omegas that we rescued today. Then, to buy them a ticket back home and security for them to reach their destination safely. Also, to pay all the lawyers for the many court fight this will lead to. To make sure all of them pay for what they did. And if the court does not make the alphas, that already bought omegas, pay their victims enough to help them amend their lives... well, to be able to help. I already have my assistant put there making sure things run smoothly" Yuuri assured the young omega.
"You would give 50M away so easily and get so involve in this whole shady business?" Yuri asked the older alpha impressed and shocked.
His parents with all the money they have, could care less about the charity work they supposedly do. They simply throw money and don't think twice to where it ends up going. Most of the times to the pockets of filthy liars and thieves.
"Well, as I said before. This is not the first time I do this. I've already won many court cases like the ones we will have to face in the following days. So, all the 50M is money I won from them. It's not like I am losing anything... not that I really would have cared about spending 50M in them! We saved over twenty omegas and soon another ten more. 50M for their lives is nothing really, they deserve much more. After all, they are all so brave to survive all this" Yuuri rushed to clear up.
"You... you are really a strange alp... a strange person..." commented Yuri, before throwing his head backwards and laughing out loud- oblivious to the alphas embarrassment "You act as if spending 50M you won of court cases against omega rapists to help out other omegas is something to be ashamed of because it is not really your money. Do you know how many people would have kept at least half of that money for themselves and don't even take an hour of their time to help with the aftermath of the rescue mission?!"
Yuri exclaimed once he had stopped laughing his arms off. Then he proceeded to give the alpha one of his honest smiles that made him look like a fairy, which had the alpha blushing and totally enchanted by the younger boy.
"Wait! If it is all over for now, does that mean we can leave the room now?!" Yuri exclaimed, excitedly, ready to bolt out of the room.
But rapidly stoped by Yuuri: "Calm your horses down, Yuri. We can't leave, yet. The reason why I am able to continue doing all of this is because no one knows who I truly am. Not even the normal cops, the only ones aware of what I do are the omegas I "buy" during my undercover missions, my assistant, my lawyer and the high commanders in charge of the missions I participate. If you go out there smelling like me it will end up being dangerous for me and this close to me. I can't let that happen, sorry. We will both leave when they are all gone. My assistance will come soon with food and drinks for us"
"But what about Sala and Michele?! They took care of me these last past days, I can't let them go without even saying goodbye!" Yuri complained, knowing he was sounding like a little kid pouting but couldn't help it.
"Maybe I can... Takeshi, can you find two omegas that go by the name of Sala and Michele and pass them your intercom and mic please? Tell them that there is a Yuri that wants to say goodbye" Yuuri asked, surprising the young omega.
"You truly are an alpha worth salivating after" whispered Yuri in awe, making eyes at the older man.
Yuuri was able to hear him because he was so close, which caused them both to blush and evade each other's gazes.
"Yuuri, I'm going to pass them to you" Takeshi's voice snapped the alpha out of his embarrassment.
"Here you go" the alpha passed his mic and intercom to the omega, which took them excitedly.
"Sala!" Yuri greeted in Russian, with a big smile on his face.
"Yuri! I am so glad to hear your voice. They told us that you were safe but after all we went through I couldn't trust them until I at least heard your voice" the Italian girl said "Yuri, the alpha that bought you... did he..."
"No. Don't worry about that. The alpha that bought me was undercover, he kept me safe" Yuri rapidly assured her.
"Good" she replied "Yuri, they are telling me that we won't be seeing each other again before I have to leave for Russia"
"No, we won't. We were lucky they allowed us this chat... thank you for everything Sala. I don't think I would have survived these days without you. I will never forget about you and I hope you the best in your mating" it was clear by now that both of them were in tears.
"I love you too, Yuri. I hope you the best in life as well. Here is my annoying older brother" Sala said goodbye.
"Hey kiddo, It's good to know you are safe" Michele's accented English was heard from the other side of the com "I just wanted to thank you for giving me the strength to finally go for my alpha" the older omega said, nodding to the pep talk the younger omega gave him during one of their days in captivity "I am going for Emil while my sister goes back to Russia" he informed, surprising Yuri.
"Good to see you, finally growing up and letting your sister do the same" Yuri commented "Goodbye, annoying"
"Goodbye, kid" that's the last thing Yuri heard from the Crispino twins before the line went dead.
Once again, Yuri broke down into tears against the chest of the alpha. This time mourning the loss of his friends. Suddenly feeling embarassed about being such a big cry baby, but enjoying the warmth those arms have too much to move.
"Me, Yuri, you mentioned before that you are a runaway" the young omega tensed withing the alpha's arms, not liking where this was going to "I can't allow you to return to an abusive household. Would you like to come and live with me? Though, you will have to move all the way to Japan for that. So, what do you say? Is it a yes or a no?"
