Here's another chapter! Just a warning...There is a rape/assault scene. Nothing too bad, from my opinion, but if you get triggered by that...You might want to just skip the part of the chapter between the lines of ********. :3 I don't want to trigger anybody so please take caution.
I don't own the Legend of Zelda
The next day, I start talking ideas with my mother for what the nursery could potentially look like and I tell her the conflict that I'm having with Link about forest versus a fire theme.
She tilts her head for a bit before asking, "What about a water theme? Is there a way he would be fine with that?"
My eyes widen at the idea as water would be my second choice on a room theme and I smile, "I'll ask when he's with us next. What ideas do you have for it?" She smiles before listing how the room could look and my eyes widen as I get an idea.
"What if...we do some combination of all three? Like one for each corner of the room as the door is in one corner and can be some plain theme." She smiles at the idea and nods and I start getting images of how it can look, getting excited about the prospect.
We just start discussing how it could work and I hear footsteps enter the room, carrying a very familiar scent, "Hello, Link~" I say and he smiles, dipping down to kiss my cheek before sitting beside me.
"So, what are you talking about? Demise, you sounded very excited about it…" He says, a smile on his face and I bounce a little in my chair.
"I think we've finally come up with a way to compromise with the room design for the nursery!"
He opens his eyes a bit wider, looking at me curiously, "Oh, is that so? What's your idea, sweetheart?"
"You know how I wanted fire or lava and you wanted forest?" He nods, "Well, my mother suggested water and I then got the idea to have each corner of the room be one of them. Like one corner is fire, one is water, and the other is forest. The room's big enough to do this well enough...So what do you think?"
I watch his reaction and a smile spreads slowly across his face as his eyes begin to sparkle, "That's a wonderful idea! That way we both get the element that we want!" I just nod and he grins, wrapping an arm around me and tugging me into a tight hug.
"Now...You guys start looking for furniture and stuff for the room and I have to go...I'll come back later if you aren't finished then. Your dad wants to talk to me about something…" I just nod and he kisses the top of my head before leaving the room.
I immediately get back into discussing the room with my mother, her helping me know everything that we're going to need and helping me plan prospective designs for where everything will go. I know she wants to help actually put the room together so my parents might stay longer to let this happen or they'll return later in order to help with it properly. We've still got around five months to get it decorated so it's not like we're in a rush, but I want it finished before the baby gets born so I don't have to worry about it after.
A few hours pass like this and we wrap up the conversation for now and I go looking for Link curiously, wondering what my father would want to talk to him about. I don't find them in any of the rooms my father frequents so I check out in the training area, my eyes widening when I see my dad and Link fighting.
I almost get nervous but I notice my dad calling out words of praise and instruction to Link and I smile as I realize that he's training Link. I just watch for a little while before heading to the kitchen to bring them some ice water as I know they'll need it. I put the cups on a tray along with a pitcher in case they want more and I head back outside, watching as they finish a match.
"Are you guys thirsty?" I call out and Link perks up when he recognizes my voice, both of them nodding. He practically sprints over to me and I smile when he kisses the top of my head before taking one of the cups.
My father walks over and takes the other, both of them quickly draining the glasses. They each refill their water, drinking the second glass much slower. I just smile at the fact that they appreciated me bringing this out for them.
"Thank you, son." My father says before ruffling my hair and Link beams at me.
"Thanks, sweetheart~ Training will likely last another hour or so. How about you go to the library and I'll meet you there when I'm finished?" He asks and I nod, smiling as he gives me a soft kiss before going back over to my dad.
I take the tray back to the kitchen before heading to the library, following the familiar halls. It doesn't take me long to get there and I smile as I pick out one of my favorite books, sitting down on the sofa and starting to read.
I quickly get lost in the story and don't hear it when Link walks in but I do notice when my vision cuts off. I freeze, starting to panic before I hear a familiar chuckle, "Guess who!~"
I sigh as I relax before grinning, "Hmm...I don't know...Who could it be?" He laughs when he catches my tone.
"Come on! You know me!" I laugh loudly at the fake whine to his tone and he laughs along with me.
"Yeah...I know it's you, Link…"
"Ding ding ding! Correct!" I laugh at that and he removes his hands before flopping onto the couch beside me and I smile at how tired he looks.
"Training wear you out?" He just nods and I smile, running my fingers through his hair.
"Hmm, I guess that means we're cuddling tonight~" He just nods and I smile as his eyes slip shut, him almost looking like he's sleeping right now.
I just continue to run my fingers through his hair as I read my book, several hours passing peacefully this way. We then head to dinner and when that's finished, I turn to him and smile.
He looks at me curiously but we just head to our room, getting ready for bed and cuddling up to each other. He ends up falling asleep before me, not that I'm surprised, and I just smile at how lucky I am to have him. He really is amazing. I couldn't imagine myself being with anyone else...He just complements me…
I end up falling asleep as well but I wake in the middle of the night, wanting a glass of milk, so I get up and make my way to the kitchen. Sure, I could've woken Link up and he would've easily gone and got the milk for me, but he was so tired from training...He needs his sleep...Especially with my father's training. I know how strong my father can be so I know that it likely took a lot out of him.
I decide to take a small walk when I'm done with my milk, hoping that it'll make me tired so that I can quickly fall asleep when I return to the room. I just wander the halls before freezing at what sounds like drunken laughter.
I look around, quickly verifying where I am and trying to figure the quickest way back to the room. I do that easily and start heading off but the sound of the laughter gets closer, causing my heart to race.
"Ah...Look what we have here... A little omega all by himself…" I hear the one talking sniff the air and I try to sneak away, "Hmm, and pregnant as well...what a little slut this one is…" I can tell that he's drunk by the way that he's slurring his words and in his drunken state, he clearly doesn't recognize who I am.
"Um...isn't that the king? Shouldn't we leave him alone?" One of the less drunk ones ask and I feel a bit of hope in my heart, thinking that this may be solved peacefully.
"Nah. Besides, you know the king wouldn't be allowed out without his alpha. There's no way that this is him." A cold shiver runs down my spine at his words and I suddenly get very nervous about what's going to happen to me.
No one's awake and I know there are no guards close by...Why did I have to go wandering this area? I mean, I thought it was safe but apparently not…Literally anything could happen to me now…
I try to take a step back but he narrows his eyes at me, "The little omega thinks he can flee...How...cute." He says, a dark smirk appearing on his face, "Let's teach him a little lesson about obeying his superiors…"
My eyes widen and I shout for help, his hand covering my mouth the second I make a sound and he growls at me, "You slut...How dare you do that?!" I bite his hand and his eyes go black as he growls even louder.
I manage another shout before my mouth is gagged with a piece of cloth and I hope that it's enough… I hope that either one of the guards managed to hear me or Link is able to sense the fact I'm in danger through the bond...I just want to get out of this situation…
He shoves me to my knees and I cringe as I feel them hit the stone hard, almost cracking from the force. They surround me then and I scrunch my eyes shut in fear. I hear something clinking, that something sounding chillingly like a belt. I then hear some clothes shifting and something warm and wet pressing to my lips as the cloth is removed from my mouth.
I shut my mouth and keep it shut out of retaliation and he growls, him stomping on my fingers, causing me to yelp. He then pushes into my mouth and I shudder at the disgusting feeling of being forced to do something that I don't want.
He starts moving and I just stay perfectly still, not wanting to anger him or do something that'll cause him to do worse. After a little bit of this, I hear footsteps running down the hall in this direction, it sounding like more than one pair…
I hear some of the others who had been watching run away but there are shouts in the distance, meaning that they got caught by the guards. I hear two twin growls when whoever's here to help sees what's happening and it feels like everything happens at once.
The person is tugged away from me and I just curl up, my eyes finally opening to see what's going on. My eyes widen when I see not only Link but my dad as well and both look completely pissed.
"You dare lay a hand on my son like that! Are you in your right mind?!" I hear my dad shout as Link holds the guy down, allowing both of them to punch and kick at him.
"That's my mate you were just assaulting! You drunken piece of shit! Your little friends already got caught but you...you are going to a special place in hell when we get finished with you." My eyes widen at this and I make a soft whimper, Link's head whipping and looking at me.
He notices the state that I'm in, curled in on myself and shuddering and his eyes harden before softening, him giving a look to my father. My dad just nods and Link leaves the guy to him, rushing over to me and enveloping me in his arms.
"Sweetheart...I'm so glad that one of the guards heard your cry for help... I don't want to think about what would've happened if he hadn't... " He shudders before looking at me and frowning. His fingers swipe my cheeks and I realize that I had been crying and I shiver.
He lifts me up in his arms, which may seem impossible but the alpha magic allows them to always be able to carry their mate if they need to, and begins carrying me down the hallway. He takes me to our bathroom and helps me clean out my mouth before taking me to the bed and laying me down.
He wraps me up in the blankets before laying down beside me and holding onto me, his scent soothing me. He looks at me worried and holds me as close as he's physically able. "Did he hurt you?!" I just smile at the fact that he cares so much for me and it's a bit amusing how delayed this question is.
"Besides what you saw...the only thing he did was shove me onto the ground, so my knees might be bruised but I didn't feel them crack… Other than that, all he did was vocal."
A displeased noise comes from his chest and I feel him move the blankets enough to check my knees, me feeling soothing magic wash over them and I sigh in content. "What was the vocal part?" He asks and I shiver.
"He called me a slut...That's it…" He looks at me like he doesn't believe me but presses a kiss to my forehead.
"You are most certainly not a slut, sweetheart...Let me guess, it was the pregnancy that made him say that?" I nod and he sighs, "That certainly is not the case. You are absolutely perfect and I want you to know that...Now, please try to sleep...We'll discuss plans on how to prevent this from happening again in the morning."
I just nod and snuggle into him, feeling his hands run through my hair. I start feeling guilty at the fact that he's awake like this when he's clearly tired, but I don't voice it as I know he wouldn't want me being guilty for something like this. He'd say that it's his duty to care for me and I guess in a way he's right...So I shouldn't feel guilty for this...
I start getting sleepy and he hums to me, the sound lulling me to sleep. I know that he's going to go back and help beat up the assaulter when I do fall asleep but I don't really mind that as I know that the guy deserved it…I'm just glad that nothing more happened than what it did…
I fall asleep quickly and feel a kiss on the forehead as I do. I do feel lucky to have him because if I didn't have an alpha, a lot more could've happened just then...Sure, the guards would've protected me, but not quite in the same way… So I definitely am glad to have Link in my life and I'm grateful that he's the caring person that he is. This will likely take some time to recover from but with Link by my side, I'll be able to do anything.
Please tell me what you thought! Also, I'll still take ideas for scenes in this story! :3
