Brilliant orange embers danced in the air with dying grey cinders floating away from the dilapidation of the crumbling building that sat in the open field, just on the edge of a forest; surrounded in a thick haze of smoke that seemed to choke the life from all that it touched. The full moon sat lazily above the vicious scene of flame and screams of agony, shedding light on all who dared to look. Stars for telling the untold truth: Light was in there. And it was L's fault. In the hands of a serial murderer.
Years of stories of the Grand Widow spelled of damnation, blood, and betrayal. None were far from the truth. She has emerged. And taken his omega into her vile custody. L watched the building's smolder grow in intensity steadily turning into engulfing roars of flames; helplessly, from the other side of the monitors. Where he begrudgingly always sat, safe, away from harm. Protected from all who oppose him.
The ravened detective could feel the anger growing in the pit of his stomach, before he'd realized it, he was growling. Loudly. Every beta and omega even other alphas in his presence shied from his alpha pheromones.
The operation was a simple in and out, larceny and run. Steal the files of the WidowMakers and get out. Matt and Mello were accompanying Light. Light, that fool, insisted to be the one. Said he owed his family… He owed it to Sayu. L narrowed his eyes in irritation before growling out in a quick enraged shout, "Why?! She's dead! You didn't have to." L widened his eyes while quickly searching the room only to see his closest confidant. A brilliant and elderly beta. Wise in his years. The others seemed to have retreated from the, uncontestedly, strongest of the alphas in the country.
A patron like smile came from the older male who quietly readied the tea set, "L, I know it's hard now. But have faith. They may not have been able to retrieve the files, but they're all smart boys. They'll get out."
Quillish Wammy, a kind and patient beta, he raised four alphas and a beta. Three of the alphas still stand on the path of justice… But the last… L often reminded himself; that even in the Christian religion. Lucifer was once an angel. It's possible for the hate to overcome the good inside someone.
The headset Mello was wearing made a loud static crackling burst before Matt's headset followed suit. L paced waiting for Light's. Silence. A deafening quiet. The young alpha growled out when a deep feminine voice came over the frequency. He could feel his pulse quicken, his veins felt like lava was coursing through them. He could hear his heartbeat in his ear. 'Be brave, Light-kun. I'll get you out of there.' A tight fist was in the beginning to enclose itself causing his knuckles to pale even further in color.
Matt dove into a room yanking Light and Mello with him, narrowly escaping a collapsing beam from the ceiling, speaking in a louder hush to overcome the growing sound of the flames. "We've got to get out of here. We have to get back to Quillish and L."
Mello hung his head hiding his icy blue eyes behind his golden locks, "This is my fault. Light, if I had–"
The brunette omega held his hand up to his lips, pressing a solitary index finger against their fullness. "Not now. I think someone is coming." The red headed beta nodded and pulled his goggles down over his eyes, shielding them from the floating embers.
As the flames reached the breaker box to the building; a sudden and consuming darkness overtook the building. A loud crack was heard and only the flames lit the building. That seemed to grow brighter by the moment. A flash of light caught Light's attention towards the window, turning his caramel eyes away from the other two for only a brief moment, when he looked back they were gone.
Scattered pieces of their headsets lay on the ground. He widened his honey hued eyes with resplendent golden flecks. His eyes seemed to reflect and intensify the colors of the flames around him. In a horrific revelation, he felt the pit of his stomach drop. 'Shit! Where…?' Before Light could process his thoughts his throat was snagged by a strong grip and his back slammed into the wall behind him, immediately snuffing the flames out behind him.
A wave of distress pheromones was instantly sent out, flooding the room and the immediate area, as he let out a soft whimper while long nails dug into the first layers of the soft flesh of his neck. Causing the brunette to attempt to recoil from the iron like grasp, only sinking the thick nails further in. He snapped his eyes open, 'This is it. It's her. I can smell her pheromones. Pomegranate. But… Something else lingers in it… It's a citrus of some sort?'
His amber eyes met a set of deep indigo. Onyx hair fell around the delicate looking face, framing it perfectly. Porcelain skin reflected the light from the flames with ease, giving her a near ethereal glow. 'Take it in, memorize her face, if I live through this, I'll be able to ID her almost instantly.' He trailed his eyes along the gentle jaw to her supple lips following her small nose, to a set of fierce and menacing eyes, but they carried an aura of sadness deep within them. 'Alphas… Like male omegas; female alphas are also very rare. They're said to be almost impossible to mate with. Not because of an inadequacies, but because of their temperament. What was it that L said… They needed an alpha's alpha… Or a highly submissive omega.' Light narrowed his eyes defiantly, 'I won't be you're submissive… I won't lose L, or my life.'
Her sharply lips curved upwards as a deviously evil smile formed as a toothy Cheshire like smile peeled away at the screen of lucidity she had masked, "Along came a spider… Who sat down beside her… Can you hear me L? I'm sure you can… My, my, what a lovely little omega you have here…" She turned Light's head aggressively to the side inspecting his scent gland below his left ear then forcing his head in the opposite direction to view the other gland. "And unbonded… How reckless of you…"
A deep purr of a laughter resounded above the flame's rage. "Listen up sweetheart, I'm going to hurt you, the way you hurt me. But don't worry, little L, I don't want your omega. But, know this, he'll suffer alone, the way I did. He'll cry for you. The way I cried for mine."
The voice came to a dead silent halt. A pin could be heard, should one have fallen, in the back of the armored van that was camped miles away. Light's headset stopped responding after a static cracking.
A younger alpha sat next to the raven with wide dark eyes, "L… What now? What was she talking about?" His eyes wandered past his mentor and onto the vast amounts of computer screens with all the information displayed of what anyone knew of the "Grand Widow."
The elder beta cleared his throat as he set a a cup of tea in front of L, "Perhaps it's time to consider plan A, a loss, and turn to plan B."
Charcoal eyes shot up to the beta, searching his face for any traces of jest with narrowed angry eyes, radiating vast amounts of alpha stress pheromones. "Some individuals are beyond redemption. He had his chance. He betrayed me. He became the monster that he is. He is his own making."
Near blinked a couple times after retreating a few feet, "What's plan B?" He watched L's angry resolve melt, when a blood curdling scream came over the remaining frequencies left online in the collapsing home. A scream that could only be identified as an omega crying out in agony. His eyes widened when L lifted the phone next to his laptop, "Who are you calling?"
L narrowed his deep eyes in frustration, "I'm calling for backup." His words were laced with cruelty, nearing spitting them from his lips. His mouth curled down in a distinct frown as he hung his head in defeat.
1 Month Prior…
A small sleepy smile passed the lips of the brunette as his amber hued eyes slowly opened. 'This must still be a dream… My life is just a dream, I must be in a coma somewhere…' His eyes landed on the sleeping detective next to him. The sun rays glimmered past the cream curtains and onto his mate. Light blushed at the thought of the world's greatest detective wanting him of all people.
The light reflected a hue of deep navy from the strands of the ebony haired man as Light propped himself up on his elbows letting out a deep yawn, a small tear pricking at the corner of his eye from the intensity of the yawn. His features softened at the glow of the sun off of his mate's pale lithe form. His skin so sun starved it almost gave a glow when finally grazed by the warmth of the sun.
'He never cared about my dynamic. In fact, it made him more determined to work with me. Not because I was an omega, but because I saw things differently than all the betas and alphas around him. Case after case, he always chose me to work with… Now that I think of it, maybe it was because of my dynamic.' Light shook his head slightly to clear the beginnings of his negative thought processes. 'No. Like he said, my dynamic only offers a different perspective. It was my intellect he wanted. That's what he told me. I believe him. He's given me no reason not to.'
Light startled slightly and jerked away a little, when a thin arm wrapped around his waist and a deep breath was heard, taking in his scent. The brunette smiled and brushed the obsidian bangs out of L's face. 'Besides… He's been nothing but a perfect gentleman…' His cheeks lit a brilliant shade of red as he coiled his fingers back into a gentle fist and yanked his hand away delicately, 'Even when I haven't been… Heats are a nuisance, a fantastic nuisance, but still… A nuisance.'
Light rolled his eyes when he heard his phone vibrating, he gave L one last appreciating glance before rolling onto his side and pulling the cellular device to his ear, "Yes? What is it Sayu?"
"I'm coming to London. I owe some people some money, and I need a place to lay low until I can save up the money to pay them back. Please? Can I stay with you and L?" The voice seemed terrified. A deep breath could be heard, "Please, onii?"
Light groaned softly and released a deep sigh while rubbing his forehead with the balls of his fingertips, "I need to talk to L about it, I can't just tell you yes. It's his home."
A tired voice quietly spoke while being muffled by the pillow slightly, "Yes. Yes, she can stay." Pale thin arms snaked around Light's waist again.
Light jumped slightly and made a airy yelp sound, "Hang on, Sayu. He's waking up." He pressed the mute button and pressed his lips against L's thin pale lips, "Morning, handsome." Light earned a bashful grin followed by an endearing stare. "Do you really mean that? Don't just say that because she's my sister."
L smirked as he rolled onto his back and sprawled out his limbs carelessly across the bed, "Of course I mean that. You'll just worry about her if she doesn't. And I don't need her running off somewhere unsafe and getting herself into trouble. Because that will make my Light-kun worry even more, thus distracting his mind from more important tasks… Mm, such as the case we're currently on? Maybe?"
The younger brunette scowled in good nature and playful hit L's side, "Jerk. I'll let her know." Light grabbed the phone off the golden oak nightstand and happily snuggled against the detective's side. "Hey, Sayu?" He heard her breath catch over the phone as if she had begun holding it. "L said its fine if you come and stay."
The voice picked up and squealed loudly in his ear, making him pull he phone away quickly, "Oh! Really?! Oh! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I feel like I've been being followed and I wanted to go somewhere, and I thought, oh, Light and L would never let anything bad happen to me!"
Light nodded and brought the phone back to his ear before speaking in a calming demeanor, "Do you need money for a plane ticket?"
L kissed the side of the omega's head, "I'll arrange everything, tell her to pack, her flight will be tonight, if not early tomorrow morning for her." Entangling one of his legs with both of Light's he brought the younger male closer to himself and growled playfully, "Now… Mine?"
Light gave a mischievous grin with a sensual wink of his caramel eye, being sure to flutter his long eyelashes towards the older man, this made his eyes visibly darken with lust as his pupils dilated with need. "Hey, Sayu, not to cut this short, but I gotta let you go…"
"Alright! I'll call you and keep you updated!" The omega set his phone down in dramatic slow motion onto the bedside nightstand. He bit back a chuckle when he heard the alpha's breath catch before leaning in and capturing the supple lips of his mate in a passionate embrace.
Light sighed happily as their lips parted, 'If this is a dream… Don't wake me up… I'd like to linger here for the rest of my life. In his embrace…'
Pressing their foreheads together, L whispered on Light's lips while gently running his thumb along his cheekbone and slowing tangling his fingers into his chestnut hair. "I love you…" 'My omega…' His deep voice purred making Light shiver slightly.
Gasping quietly with a tiny smile the brunette leaned in closing the small gap between their lips. Before breaking the embrace and murmuring sweetly, "I love you too…" 'My alpha…'
