Yuri hadn't asked for this. He didn't ask to present as an omega. He didn't want the life expected of an omega. He constantly felt like his body was his own worst enemy, and no matter how hard he fought it, he couldn't change the way it caused his body to ache for an alpha. Yuri Plisetsky is no coward though. He wouldn't give in to alpha easily. At least that's what he had told himself as he was racing through the streets of the city he had grown up in. His hair trails behind him as he sprints from the hunters, unintentionally filling the night air with his scent.

He has been running for years. He had only been 13 when he had presented, which is old for most. Perhaps he had presented earlier, but his mind hadn't truly acknowledged what it meant until then. At 14 the city officials had been notified of his presenting thanks to his shitty parents. Perhaps they weren't really shitty, perhaps they had been kind in reality, but this is another one of those things he couldn't think back on fondly. They had reported his status to the officials, sealing his fate. At 15 if he had still been at home the collectors would have been sent out to do just that: Collect him. He would have been taken to an Omega facility and educated on his duties as an omega. Taught how to care for infants and how to be a good mate and serve his alpha. That thought disgusted him.

After discovering his parents' betrayal he immediately took off. He packed only what he could carry and went on the run. It was at this point that the hunters were assigned his case. That's what they would say if they caught him at least. That, along with many other harsh things. They'd say he was uneducated and foolish for running. That he is being selfish and not thinking of his future mate and the pups that mate would put into him. He would be called silly if he voiced that he didn't want either of those things. Yuri Plisetsky did not need a mate, and he did not want the life of a breeding machine.

Yuri snapped back into focus as he nearly tripped on a small crack in the sidewalk. It shouldn't have been a big deal, but he had been running so long that even small things seemed big in his fatigued mind. All he wanted to do was rest. Rest and eat and find somewhere he could safely nest for the night to let his sore and aching body recuperate. This isn't the way this night will play out though. Despite his constant running and hiding for the past 2 years, tonight is the night when his fate finally catches up to him.

In his haste and desperation he trips again. This time he goes down, his body hitting the ground. He feels the scraping of his knees first, ripping holes through the only pair of skinny jeans he had left, leaving the soft skin of his knees torn and scraped raw. He feels his palms come in contact with the hard cement. He feels small rocks and pebbles get embedded into the cuts and scrapes that form from the friction of the fall.

He desperately scrambles to his feet, but his body seems to fight every moment. This one small fall is what led to the end of his freedom. While he manages to scramble to his feet and run a small bit further, the fall slowed him down just enough for the group hunters to catch up.

The three alphas smirk, breathing hard and rather satisfied with themselves and the thrill of the chase. They're extremely pleased with themselves as they get close enough that one of them manages to grab ahold of the small blonde's shirt, yanking him back.

Yuri feels the air leave him in a startled gasp, seeing a future of freedom outrunning him as he's pulled to a stop. Tears build in his eyes, but he refuses to let them fall. Instead he clenches his teeth and simply glares at the alphas who push him into a small alley to take him out of the way of the others walking along the sidewalk. None of them stop to look or care to help the omega who is being forced to accept a life of oppression and legal slavery in the alley.

The first alpha smirks, feeling along Yuri's much too skinny body. "Just checking for weapons." He mumbles, but Yuri knows better as he feels a hand rest on his ass for a few moments too long.

"Get off me, Asshole! I'm already claimed!" He lies through gritted teeth, struggling against the hands that touch his vulnerable body and pin him against the hard bricks that make up the wall of a building.

He can't help but flinch as he feels the handsy alpha turn him around so the small, emaciated omega is facing him. He leans in close, much too close for Yuri's liking, and presses his nose to the soft flesh of Yuri's throat, drawing in a long breath. He chuckles softly at the lack of scent, pushing down the neck of his shirt. "You haven't been scented recently, omega. A good alpha would have scented you before you left the house. Not to mention you haven't been marked." He traces a rough finger along the soft skin at the base of the helpless omega's neck. "You haven't been claimed. I'm sure you long to be though, Omega. Don't worry. The facility keeper will make sure you get what you need. They'll find you a nice strong alpha that will protect you and fatten you with his pups."

Yuri swallows thickly, glaring at the alpha. "I won't be some lap pet!" He quickly leans forward to bite into the alpha's arm. He bites and clings, not releasing despite the hot metallic blood filling his mouth. He only releases when he feels a hard blow to the side of his head.

He coughs and spits out blood, glaring at the alpha. The hunter simply smiles, stroking the side of his head that is no doubt bruised now. "Calm yourself, Omega. What you really need is an alpha who knows how to break and train naughty and defiant omegas like yourself. I'll personally make sure that happens. For now, it's best you sleep. Before you hurt yourself more."

Yuri flinches as he feels his short sleeve pushed up, his arm pinned down as one of the hunters pulls out a syringe that is quickly inserted into Yuri's exposed arm. He hisses as he feels the burning need prick in his arm, his eyes locking and glaring unwaveringly into the main hunter's eyes. He keeps his defiant gaze steady right until the moment he feels his consciousness fade away and the world go dark around him.
