This the penultimate episode. I appreciate your patience and support, hopefully in January I will return with the weekly updates of my other fics.
"Dr. Angle wasn't at his office." Akira said thoughtfully as he walked through the forest illuminating the path with an oil lamp.
"Old Mick is good for things like this." Kalisto assured. "Although it is difficult to get to his house if he lives in the middle of the forest."
Braun was walking by himself. "Crazy old Mick cured me and you guys saved my life. Thank you very much."
Kalisto nodded. "We accomplished something tonight. We changed the monster among men."
"That was thanks to Roman. He speared some sense into this big man's thick skull." Akira said thoughtfully. "What I don't understand is, how Roman got that? He's certainly strong, but Braun is bigger."
Braun pursed his lips. "I don't know what kind of weird thing Reigns is, but when he threw himself at me, his eyes were weird, he's not a common alpha. But you're right guys, I owe him a big one, thanks to Roman I realized the kind of fucker JBL is, even with his supposed allies. In the first moment he saw weakness in me, the damn old man forgot everything I did for him and kicked me out."
Akira smiled. "You had an epiphany, Braun and that's good."
...
Jason smiled with confidence. Soon he would have the pup in his hands and that would give him a lot of money. In addition to financial help from Baron's family, who were desperate for an heir.
Seth was holding his belly, he realized he was bleeding too much. Roman looked at him horrified. They were going to lose their pup. Seth cried desperately.
"I have to take the pup from you and take it to the doctor's office to make sure it's healthy and then go back to the city as soon as possible. I need to keep this pup alive to obtain money from it and besides, tomorrow the news of four corpses in the middle of the forest will spread like wildfire. I can't stay here."
Jason pulled a small bag out of his jacket, it contained a syringe and a vial. "This won't hurt, Seth."
"Roman! Roman, I need you!" Seth was screaming desperate to see Jason approach him. "Roman! Let it out! LET YOUR ALPHA OUT!"
"Poor Seth, what are hallucinating?" Jason had the nerve to stroke Seth's face. "It's a pity that I have to kill you to get that pup from you. It's just that you're so beautiful, I would have liked to use you once more... If your life was not fading out, I could sell you on the black market."
Seth looked at Jason in disgust and then focused his gaze on Roman. "Roman, obey my orders. Maybe I'm going to die soon but my pup, our pup must live. Save our son!"
Everyone was puzzled. Surely Seth was going crazy, nothing he said made any sense. However Dean noticed that Roman was totally tense, his look was somewhat unfocused.
"Roman, obey my orders!" Seth was holding his belly and crying, it was obvious that he was enduring a sharp pain. "Let your alpha out and just like you did the night Baron hurt me... I want you to kill'em all. Don't leave any of these bastards alive! They all are murderers! They all are demon's!"
It was then that Dean saw Roman blinking, his eyes changed from brown to gray, almost silvery and his fangs seemed larger. Roman looked at Jason with the fire of hell in his eyes.
"What the hell is that?" Karl was in awe.
"It's his alpha, the physical form of his alpha." Kurt's jaw was almost on the floor.
"It's impossible! Those are just legends!" Jason looked at Roman without understanding anything. "Everyone knows that the alpha is just a part of us. Those stories about alphas shifting in other creatures are fantasies."
But before Jason could finish his statement and even use his weapon, Roman launched himself at an impressive speed, and in a display of superhuman strength, Roman scratched the face of the young scientist who cried out in pain.
Jason's henchmen pointed their weapons at Roman and at that moment, a roar was heard from the bushes. The enormous and imposing figure of Braun Strowman was revealed. And this took the armed men by surprise.
Dean took advantage of this to launch on Konnor who lost his weapon, the gun fell several meters away from them. And even though he was tied up, Dean was trying to stop Konnor.
Kurt did the same with Viktor.
Karl and Luke watched in horror as Roman was murdering Jason in such a horrible way. Akira and Kalisto threw themselves at them to prevent them from using their weapons and Braun grabbed Luke by the neck, throwing him into a tree, knocking him unconscious, then he went to Karl and did the same, knocking him out.
"We listen to everything in the middle of the bushes." Kalisto said. "These guys were trying to kill an omega and steal his pup. It's atrocious."
Then Braun turned his attention to Konnor and Viktor who were being stopped by Kalisto and Akira who could take away their weapons, Dean and Kurt were still tied. But before Braun could do anything, Roman got to his feet and at an impressive speed launched himself at Konnor. It was fast, Roman broke his neck.
Viktor was in a deep panic, he wanted to scape, useless attempt. Roman threw himself at him and moments later he was dead in a pool of blood.
"You must kill the other two too!" Seth screamed, writhing in pain.
And to everyone's astonishment, Roman obeyed Seth without even hesitating and also killed Luke and Karl. This was unheard of, an alpha blindly obeying the orders of an omega.
"Then the legends are true." Kalisto muttered.
"What are you talking about?" Braun roared.
"Legends said that the alphas could shift to their most basic form and when this happened, they obeyed blindly to their omegas. Something that little by little alphas were suppressing in order to gain power over the omegas and control them." Kalisto explained. "To be the ruling class."
"An evolutionary process." Dr. Angle muttered, he was already untied. "But if Seth controls Roman..."
"It means that Seth is his omega." Dean pointed out. "Roman's alpha in its most basic form, recognizes Seth as his omega."
Roman went for Seth and took him in his arms. Seth was screaming in pain.
Kurt approached the body of his son. He didn't know what to do or say.
"Jason was trash and he deserved to die. I'm sorry for you Dr. Angle." Dean said putting his hands on Kurt's unhurt shoulder. "But you can still save your grandson."
Seth cried thinking that he would have lost the pup. The pain was unbearable and he was bleeding a lot. In addition, it was still too early for the pup to be born.
"Save the omega and the pup, all this was in self-defense. We'll take care of the corpses, nobody's going to find out about this." Braun sentenced. "I am far from being a good man, but I never tried to hurt a pup."
...
Roman took Seth back to the doctor's office. Kurt was so desperate that he didn't even heal his own wound. He only put on a bandage and started preparing the instruments for surgery.
Dean was helping him since Dr. Angle was alone, his assistant was not there, it was after midnight. The auburn-haired omega saw how Roman held Seth who was unconscious. The alpha still had gray eyes and his gaze was fixed on Seth.
Roman cradled the omega in his arms and buried his face in Seth's neck, licking nonstop the point at which the alphas mark their omegas.
"Everything is ready for the c-section." Kurt was very nervous.
But when the doctor approached Seth, Roman growled at him. It seemed that he would attack him.
"In that state he won't let me get close to Seth." Kurt said desperately. "His alpha thinks he can protect him."
Dean softly walked toward Roman and talked to him. "Roman, the doctor is going to save both of them. You should let him do his job."
Dr. Angle saw in astonishment how Roman carried Seth to the bed, gently laid him there. However the alpha remained by Seth's side.
Never in his life had Kurt felt this nervous. He had a very big responsibility here. Try to save his grandson and try to save the omega that was carrying it in his belly. All this under the scrutinizing gaze of an alpha who could kill him if he did something that seemed suspicious to him.
Kurt anesthetized Seth and proceeded with the c-section. Roman growled when he saw the doctor cutting Seth's skin. And it was Dean who had to reassure the alpha.
"Roman, I know you're there." Dean approached the alpha, looked him in the eyes and took one of his hands. "If you don't trust the doctor, trust me then. We're going to do everything possible to save both of them."
And this seemed to calm Roman, he remained quiet. But it didn't shifted to his original form. He was still in that state of pure alpha.
"There are so many things that science can't explain. Years of evolution, believing that we were superior to omegas and apparently we were no more than their obedient puppies. Roman is a unique case, like everything that is happening around him... And he is the proof of what all the alphas in the world would want to hide." Kurt sentenced.
"That alphas and omegas are equal." Dean said softly, moving closer to Seth. "Alphas and Omegas obey each other and had weaknesses and strengths."
Shortly after the cries of a newborn pup were heard. Roman cocked his head and looked at the little pup with tenderness, however his attention continued all on Seth.
Kurt was shaking. "He's alive! We made it! My grandson is alive!"
Dean looked at the pup, he was so small, it was obvious that he was premature. The doctor had to suture Seth, so he handed the pup to Dean. The auburn-haired omega looked at the small and fragile pup with love.
"He's so beautiful, so perfect." Dean said excitedly and several tears came out of his eyes.
And having that pup in his arms, Dean felt that the world was becoming a better place. He felt that he loved the little pup and that he would give his life for him if necessary. Dean felt as if he was holding his own pup.
The doctor ended Seth's cures, he was still unconscious and the beating of his heart was almost imperceptible. Kurt looked at the young omega with deep sadness. He wasn't going to say what he thought in front of Roman, the alpha could kill him.
Poor boy, he's just eighteen. If he survives tonight it would be a miracle. And even then, that wouldn't change his situation at all.
Kurt looked at Roman, the alpha had his clothes full of blood, the blood of Dr. Angle's son. Roman climbed into the bed where Seth was and carefully laid down next to him, burying his face in the neck of the omega, he began to lick softly.
Seth is the omega of his basic form, the omega of the alpha in him. I wish I could tell Roman that he didn't discover this too late, but I can't. However, there have been so many miracles here. But this is the most difficult, it's almost impossible.
The doctor left Roman with Seth, maybe it would do him good to have his alpha near him, so Roman could take care of his omega and Kurt could take care of the pup. There was still a lot of work to be done, the doctor had to get blood for Seth and monitor the health of the pup. He was premature after all and didn't even count on his mother's warmth, because Seth was fighting his own battle.
And this was disturbing, they didn't have the technological resources that Jason had if he would've taken the pup to the city. So, Seth's pup needed to be sheltered by the skin of his mother in order to survive, perhaps after so many efforts the pup could still die.
The doctor took a breath as he walked to the other room, the concern for the pup was such that he could not feel the pain in the wound on his shoulder, he didn't even remember that.
But upon entering the other room, he received the last impression of the night. Dean was holding the pup inside his clothes, giving him the warmth he needed. The pup was calm and content and this was strange because everything in the nature of the alphas and omegas was based on instinct. The pup had to react like this with Seth and nobody but Seth.
However all the circumstances of Seth's pregnancy were unique and this was just the cherry on the cake. Dr. Angle sighed in relief, if the pup was comfortable with Dean, maybe he would survive, this was a good thing and it didn't matter how absurd it was.
"You love the pup, don't you?" Kurt asked Dean.
"With all my heart." Dean held the pup with devotion.
The pup sucked his thumb so pleased and it was obvious that he was happy.
"I feel that everything I studied at the university was refuted tonight, but it doesn't matter. All this only gives me hope that maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel." Kurt looked at Dean and the pup with relief. "I'm going to prepare the guest room in my house, if you're taking care of my grandson, you should be near my office in case of any emergency. I'll give you whatever you need, thank you so much, Dean."
"You don't have to thank me. I'm going to take good care of this pup." Dean said hopefully.
…
Three weeks later...
With Dean's help, they had convinced Roman to take a bath and wear clean clothes. The doctor had taken care to destroy everything that indicated what happened that fateful night. And true to their promise, Braun, Akira and Kalisto had not mentioned a word of what had happened and the corpses had disappeared.
Kurt wondered how long it would take the police to ask about Jason. Perhaps someone knew that he had come to this town so hard to find. At least until now no one had said a word about it.
Roman continued in his state of pure alpha, lying next to Seth. He never left the omega, he never took his eyes off him. He was always sniffing and licking Seth's neck. All this without saying a word, his eyes continued silver.
The doctor was reviewing the latest tests he had run on Seth. He read the report and several tears came out of his eyes, he gave a loud sigh and kept the report in his robe. Kurt began to prepare a milk formula for the pup, since due to his poor health, Seth couldn't produce milk. Besides, he was in coma and with medication in his body.
"My grandson is quite a warrior, I don't understand how he has been able to survive so far, but I must continue to do what I can."
Kurt walked, bottle in hand, to the room where Dean and the pup were. If Roman never left Seth, Dean never left the pup. He knocked on the door several times and nobody opened, Kurt got scared and used his key to enter.
And entering on the room, the bottle fell from his hands.
"I don't have an explanation for this, it just happened this morning. I realized something was wrong with my body a week ago, but it was so absurd that I couldn't believe it. How could I suspect it?" Dean explained.
The doctor saw in astonishment that Dean had been breastfeeding the pup. Apparently the pup was satisfied and now he slept happily in Dean's arms. The omega left the pup in his crib.
"That little Sethie has found a mother in you, maybe it's for the best." Kurt smiled sadly.
"What are you talking about?" Dean asked, noticing that the Doctor seemed worried.
Kurt sat next to Dean and handed him Seth's tests. The omega put a hand to his face in pure sadness.
"Are you going to tell this to Roman?" Dean gulped.
"In the state that is now, I can't. Roman is not going to take it well and could even be dangerous."
"What do you mean with dangerous?" Dean was intrigued.
Dr. Angle's omega entered the room, interrupting the conversation. "The nurse told me that Seth just woke up"
...
Kurt returned to Seth's room in his medical office. The doctor was followed by Dean who carried the pup in his arms, if Seth had woken up, they should show him his son.
Upon entering both saw Seth smiling, the omega was obviously weak. Seth was looking at Roman with tenderness. The alpha was practically wagging his tale at him. Happy to see his omega awake.
"Your alpha was always mine, but the rest of you is not." Seth spoke so softly. "Roman, I know you hear me. You must come back, you need to be you, again. Come on, big dog. Come back."
Roman blinked several times and his eyes slowly darkened until they regained the chocolate color that characterized them. The alpha looked around as if recognizing where he was and it was then that his attention was diverted to Dean and the pup.
Seth focused his weak gaze on his son. "My pup, he's fine. He's alive."
Seth's weak smile showed pure happiness.
Roman got out of bed and slowly walked towards Dean. He looked at the omega intensely and smiled at him, but Dean noticed his smile was sad, like he was about to give him bad news. But before Roman could say anything, Dean gave the pup to him. Roman took the little pup in his arms gently, he smiled with genuine bliss.
"He is as beautiful as his mother." Roman looked at Seth excitedly. "He's your clone, he's identical to you, there's nothing in him that is not yours. Our son is identical to you."
Seth smiled with deep relief. Roman approached him, very carefully placed the pup in his weak arms. The pup giggled.
"Wow, it's the first time he does that." Dean chuckled. "He recognized you."
"I thought he would be too small for being premature." Seth looked at his son with love and placed a kiss on his forehead.
"You've been in coma for three weeks." Kurt explained. "Roman here never left your side."
Seth smiled. "But it's about time he does it. Roman must go with his omega."
Dean looked at Seth sadly. He deserved better than all this tragedy, nothing had been his fault.
"But I promised-" Roman tried to speak.
"All I wanted was to save my pup, and he is alive, that was thanks to you. You kept me alive and with that you saved my pup's life." Seth smiled at Roman with love. "You've done enough, Roman. No more sacrifices for me, it's time for you to be happy, I leave you free of all those promises you made to me."
"Promises are not meaningless words, Seth." Roman said softly.
"Of course not, you fulfilled your promises, Roman. I owe this to you and my happiness will be knowing you are happy with Dean." Seth then looked at Dean. "You have my blessing and my support, make Roman happy. I owe everything to him, I want you and him to share your life together."
Dean was impressed and moved. Receiving Seth's blessing was important, it was wonderful. The auburn-haired omega wondered how they were going to break the news to Seth.
Or maybe he felt it and that's why he was leaving Roman free of those promises.
However, Roman spoke first. "Don't you remember, Seth?"
And now Dean and Dr. Angle were surprised. What was Roman trying to say?
Seth blinked several times. "Roman, that's not... that..."
"That is, Seth." Roman approached the omega. "The other times I forgot it because I was in that state for a very short time, but now I remember everything. And this time it was not only me the one who shifted, I saw your omega, it's a beautiful gray wolf."
"You have been in this room all the time and that didn't happen." Kurt quirked an eyebrow.
"Apparently it doesn't happen the way you think it should." Roman explained. "I can't exactly explain it, shifting is like... an extracorporeal action. It was not about our bodies, it was about our souls. Seth and I were together all these weeks, my alpha took care of his omega and that's when I knew it, the way to make Seth wake up."
Roman moved Seth's fluffy hair that covered his neck.
"My alpha in its pure form, marked you. You are mine now and thanks to that I was able to bring you back to me. We didn't have to do the whole process of the knot, we will do it after our marriage."
Seth was overwhelmed, he thought that was a dream. With the few strengths he had, he led one of his hands to his neck and touched the mark. This was unheard of, things didn't happen in this order or in this way, all this happened in an unorthodox and almost magical way.
"The black wolf who took care of me, who marked me, was your alpha in its pure form. But Roman, your human form loves another omega." Seth couldn't believe it.
Roman looked at Dean sadly. "I am very sorry, this was something that nobody planned but that had to be done. The bond that I created with Seth when marking him, can't be erased."
Dean was pale. Roman had marked Seth as a last resort to save his life. Seth and Roman got a bond beyond physical. However, even though it hurt, Dean couldn't be angry, Seth had suffered so much...
Just as I had suffered... Someone had to lose and as always that someone was me.
"We're going to leave you both alone." Kurt took Dean's arm and led him to the door. "You should talk about all this and also spend time with your pup."
When they left, Dean began to breathe with difficulty.
"I lost Roman, I just..." Dean was trying to talk.
"If you think that's the real problem here, Dean, you're totally wrong." Kurt walked to his office.
Dean followed him.
"He saved Seth, Roman saved him..." Dean didn't understand.
"Roman created a bond that even I can't understand or explain. Roman and Seth are the weirdest thing I've ever seen. He marked Seth and how's that possible?" Kurt was trying to make some sense to all this mess. "And they both saw their alpha and omega in their real form!"
"I don't get what you are trying to say." Dean was beginning to be afraid of what the doctor was going to tell him.
"Roman obeys Seth, he acts the way omegas usually do. And that seems to be the way it was many years ago. Don't you get it? Roman totally obeys his omega, he bonded with Seth in a different and unique way and although Roman brought him back as he believes, although Seth is awake, that does not change Seth's situation." Dr. Angle looked at Dean desperately. "Dean, tell me what happens to omegas when they lose their alphas?"
Dean was pale. He started shaking his head in denial.
"I'm going to run new tests on Seth and I hope we really have a new miracle here, because if it's not like that, Roman didn't save Seth at all... He just put a rope on his own neck, maybe Roman has condemned himself."
Do you remember that I told you this was my version of this universe? Well, this chapter is what I was talking about all this time. I apologize if something maybe doesn't make sense to you, I am doing my best to explain what I am trying to do with this omegaverse. I also apologize for my awful grammar.
Things get more and more complicated reaching the end of the story. The reviews are important and I appreciate that you give me a little bit of your time to encourage me to keep going. I hope to read your opinions about this episode and what you think will happen in the final chapter.
I hope all of you have had a happy christmas and I also hope Dean Ambrose gets well soon. If I can't update before the end of the year I hope you have a happy new year!
Remmeber that I love you guys!
