I do not own Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin
Prepare for a chapter that you will probably be really depressed about afterwards, depending on how you deal with these thing.
I would like to mention to all my lovely reader who are a little sensitive that this story does not have and never will have rape in it. I have had a couple reviews about that and I would just like to point it out. I'm not a huge fan of it myself and I personally don't want Eren to go through that sort of things.
Whoops! Tad spoiler. Now on with the show!
Eren couldn't remember when he fell asleep the night before. He felt heavy, but also refreshed. He suddenly remember that his heat had just passed and that Levi and him mated last night.
Eren's eyes opened slowly and he saw Levi beside him, sleeping peacefully. Eren spotted a bit of dried blood at the side of his mouth. He sighed whipped it away, only for Levi to open his eyes.
"Sorry, did I wake you?" Eren apologised, sitting up as bit. Levi's eyes were only half opened, but he shook his head. He rubbed his eyes.
"What were you doing?" he asked. Eren pointed to the side side of his mouth.
"You had a bit of blood here, probably mine," he replied. Levi eyes opened fully.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that," Levi said. Eren rolled his eyes.
"How the hell could you forget something like that? It hurt like hell and now I want to see if I have huge teeth marks on my neck," Eren said.
"Well, I'm sorry for not dreaming about last night and waking up having a clear memory, you shitty brat."
Eren smirked.
"You're angry about how you reacted last night, aren't you?" he asked. Levi sat up and pushed Eren down.
"Alright, Eren, let's make a deal. We never speak of the way we act in heat to anyone. You will not tell people about how perverted I can be and I will not tell anyone about how you were literally seducing me on day two. Deal?" Levi said, putting out his hand. Eren blushed and immediately took the hand and shook it.
"Deal."
Levi sighed and leaned up.
"I'm tired. Come on, let's have a bath. We are completely disgusting at the moment and I don't really want to go out of this room with your heat smell still lingering on me. By the way, how do you feel? Are you feeling okay to see your mother today?" he asked.
Eren's whole face brightened up. He nodded.
"I feel fine. I want to see her today, it will be a nice surprise," he said. Levi nodded and got off the bed.
"Right, get in the bath, brat. You reek."
. . . .
Levi had to leave after their bath, and Eren decided that he would check around his body and see what Levi had done to his neck. Eren gripped his shirt and threw it off in front of the mirror. He was covered in marks.
They were only slight bruises, but there were so many of them. Small purple marks. This was what Levi could do to him.
Eren didn't feel angry, just surprised. He couldn't remember much of last night, except for when Levi bit him. Eren moved his hand and placed it on the left side of his neck.
He could feel something around the middle of the neck and the joint to his arm. It stung and felt rough and lumpy.
Eren turned slightly to give him a better view in the mirror. His eyes widened as they set upon what Levi had done to him.
There, on his neck, was a bite mark that looked like a dog had just bitten him. It wasn't a clumsey bite and it was obvious that fangs were involved. Eren did remember that Levi has some small fangs in his mouth.
He wasn't a vampire. Eren had learnt that Alphas grew fangs at a young age so that they could mate properly. This was it. Eren was mated to Levi. He had been possessed.
No.
That wasn't it. Levi had never thought of his as a possession, and if he did then Eren would kill him.
Eren shook his head, getting rid of the thought, and put on his shirt. He walked out of the bathroom.
It was that moment when he heard a knock at the door. Eren walked to the door and opened it. It was Levi. Eren looked down a little.
"Levi, what is it? I thought you were in a meeting," he asked. Levi looked down.
"I'm sorry, Eren. I can't take you to see your mother today. Something came up and I'm completely packed for the next few days. I'm sorry," Levi replied.
Eren heart sunk a little. He bit his lip.
"Why can't I go on my own?" he asked. Levi's eyes widened, until it turned into a glare.
"Eren..." he hissed. Eren glared back.
"Stop this. It doesn't have to be you. If you're that worried about me, then let someone else go with me. I can't take it anymore being confined here, scared to step foot out of this shitty place. I want to go home. I deserve that much after being locked in this god damn room for the past four days!" Eren exclaimed.
He was pissed and he didn't know why. He just wanted to go home and see his mother's face.
Levi glared, until he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Alright, Eren, fine. I'll let you visit Shiganshina today, but at least four guards have to go with you. I'll pick them. You leave in an hour," Levi said, before walking away.
Eren's heart was racing. He felt something off with the way Levi spoke to him. It sounded harsh. What was going on?
Did mating change them?
Eren just glared at the floor, before leaving the room and storming down the halls, down the stairs and out the back door. He decided that he would head to the stables, making sure to cover up the mark on his neck.
He entered the stables and saw Roxas straight away. He smiled and opened the gate, walking up to the white horse and stroking his nose. He sighed.
"Oh, Roxas, what am I going to do?" he asked the horse. Roxas didn't exactly give a reply, except for a slight nudge.
"You okay there, little Omega?" came a familiar voice. Eren jumped and turned to the gate. It was Bertolt.
"Bertolt, you scared me. It seems everyone likes to do that lately," Eren said. Bertolt smiled.
"Sorry about that. I tend to have light feet and I couldn't help but notice you come in looking like you found out Rivaille wasn't who you thought he was," he said. Eren snorted; he was close. Eren turned back to stroke the horse.
"You're close. I just don't know what he's thinking anymore. It feeling like mating has changed us, and it's only been a few hours," he replied. Bertolt smiled and sighed.
"Eren, mating doesn't change us, it just makes us feel deeper things. I've heard that you are going to Shiganshina. I know because I've been ordered to get Roxas ready for you. It will be okay, Eren. Just give Rivaille time. If I am correct, he gave you plenty, now it is your turn."
Eren looked down and sighed. Bertolt was right and he knew it.
Bertolt opened the gate and walked up to Roxas.
"Roxas has been easier to handle now that he has a master. I'm able to touch him now and put on a saddle," he said. Eren nodded and watched as the Beta got Roxas ready.
At that moment, four guards dressed in green cloaks marched into the stable and bowed in front of Eren and Bertolt.
"Sir Eren, King Rivaille has appointed us a your body guards for today," one said. Eren didn't recognised any of them.
"What about Gunther and Eld?" Eren asked, trying not to be rude.
"Gunther and Eld are currently on a mission. They cannot be here to serve you."
Eren sighed and nodded.
"Okay. I'll be in your care," he said. The guards straightened up and saluted, putting their right fist over their heart and their left arm behind their back.
"Don't worry, Eren, they're good at their job," Bertolt said. Eren turned to the Beta who was finished preparing Roxas. "Gunther and Eld may be one of the best, but these guys are still great. The guy on the end is the leader of the group, Thomas Wagner. The woman beside him is Nanaba and the next is Ilse Langnar. The man beside her is Hugh Reaver, he's new but has had a lot of experience."
Eren nodded and turned back to the guards.
"Are you guys are ready to go, I would like to set off now," Eren said. All of them nodded and collected their horses that had already been equipped. Eren turned to Bertolt, who was holding out the rein to Eren.
"Have fun and be careful," he said. Eren nodded and accepted the rein, before getting on Roxas and trotting out of the stables. The guards trailed behind Eren as they made their way to the front court yard.
Eren could see the gates and was excited to finally pass them after so long.
"Eren!" a voice called. Eren turned to the front entrance and saw Levi walking down the steps.
"Levi," Eren said. Levi nodded.
"I wanted to see you off. I'm sorry I couldn't take you. I'm sorry about the way I acted this morning. Shit. This is so fucked up," Levi cussed. Eren frowned.
"Levi, calm down. This isn't like you," he said. Levi breathed.
"Yeah, just be careful. You may think that I'm just your prison guard, but Eren, listen to what these guys say. If they tell you to run, you run. If you are not back by sun down, I'll go out and get you myself. Do I make myself clear?" he said. Eren nodded.
"Transparently," he muttered, before leaning down at pecking Levi on the lips. "You still owe me for that huge bite mark on my neck, by the way," Eren muttered against his lips. Levi smiled.
"I'm sorry for that too." Eren smiled and sat up.
"Levi Ackerman saying sorry? Something must really be wrong. Don't worry, Levi, I'll be back by tonight," he said, giving his mate one more kiss, before galloping off and passed the gate, the guards following behind him.
"I know, brat," Levi said out loud.
At that moment, Erwin came out from behind the palace and stood in front of Levi. He sat on his horse and waited to be given orders.
"Follow them. Make sure Eren doesn't know that you are there. Come back to me immediately if you see anything suspicious," Levi ordered. Erwin bowed his head.
"Hya!" Erwin shouted, his horse galloping off after Eren and the other.
Levi had a bad feeling about this. He just hoped he was wrong.
. . . .
Eren felt more than happy to finally be away from the palace. It wasn't as if he hated it entirely, but he grew up living in a village, not a palace, and to be suddenly thrown into an extravagant surrounding, it made his head spin.
Eren looked around at the quiet forest. He was happy to finally be going home to see his mother and friends. It may only be for a few hours, but Eren knew that it would be worth it.
The guards kept a close eye on the forest, watching for any movement that didn't appear to be animal. Even Eren was keeping a close eye out. Eren's smell was strong, so he always had to be on his toes.
His eyes scanned the road, feeling as if he was being watched.
It was that moment when he realised something; it is too quiet. Eren listened and there was no bird song. Everything was still.
Suddenly, he heard a muffled scream behind him. Eren's eye widened as he turned around and saw the guard, known as Thomas, have an arrow embedded in his neck. Thomas's eyes were wide, but the light was already gone, as he slowly slipped off his horse and lay dead on the ground. Everyone's heart stopped.
"Run, Eren!" Nanaba screamed. Eren obeyed and Roxas ran as fast as his four legs could take him. He could hear the leaves shaking in the trees around and he was obviously being followed. But so fast?
At that moment, a cloaked figure walked into the middle of the road. His hood was down and covered his eyes as he waited for Eren. Eren gritted his teeth and carried on. Roxas, however, wouldn't obey.
The horse stopped in his tracks right in front of the figure and began to slowly back away, like he knew that the man was dangerous.
"We have been waiting for you, Omega," the figure said, in a deep voice. Eren's spine shivered in unpleasantness.
"Who are you? Get out of my way right now," Eren said. The figure smiled, before Eren realised that he was completely surrounded.
"I'm afraid we cannot do that, Omega. You see, you are very valuable, and we need you," another cloaked man said.
A hand reached out and grabbed Eren's wrist, pulling him off the horse. Roxas bucked as they did this.
They held Eren in place and tried to tie his wrist together, but Eren wouldn't allow it.
He move, using both strength and flexibility. He got behind the bandit that was tying his wrist and kicked him hard in the back. The man fell over and Eren was able to throw the rope away that was loosely tied around him.
"You're going to have to try better than that if you want me," Eren said. He was ready. Eren couldn't tell whether these people were Alpha or Beta. He counted that there were seven of them and they were all dressed in black cloaks with their hood up.
Roxas panicked and sprinted for it, going in the direction in which they came, back to the palace. One of the bandits smiled.
"It seems that your transportation has abandoned you. Turn yourself in, Omega. It's either that or we'll take you by force."
Eren felt like laughing.
"I'm not an ordinary Omega, you fuckers. As if I would turn myself in that easily. Are you the people who steal all the Omegas?" Eren asked.
"Yes, we are," said a voice from behind him. Eren swiftly turned around and saw a man that was not wearing a cloak, but looked rather plain.
He had reasonably long brown hair and round glasses.
"Who the fuck are you!?" Eren exclaimed. The man smiled.
"You will find out, all in good time, Eren," he said. Eren's eyes widened.
"How do you know my name?" he asked.
"As I said, all in good time. Take him," the man ordered, and at that moment, Eren was grabbed from behind by the seven cloaked men all at once. He fought with all his might, but there were too many of them. He tried kicking them and punching, but it didn't work, they were skilled. But Eren wasn't giving up.
He was breathing heavily once he manage to get away from them, only to keep an eye as they all surrounded him. The plain man stepped forward.
"Give up, Eren. Your body guards are all dead, no one will save you. We will not kill you, so you have nothing to fear. Please, come with us," he said as if he was trying to save Eren from a horrible fate, but this was the horror.
Eren violently shook his head. "Fuck off. Why are you after Omegas? We are nothing to people like you, so why are we so special?" Eren asked. The man rolled his eyes.
"I've had enough of this. Let get this over and done with," he said. At that moment, Eren felt something hard hit his head.
He was completely out of it before he even hit the ground.
. . . .
Erwin trailed behind Eren and his guards carefully. He knew what his task was, and that was not to be found out. He kept a good distance and his horse was specially trained for these types of mission.
Everything was peaceful, until, right before his very eyes, he saw one of the guards fall. It was Thomas. The whole world seemed to stop around him as he watched Eren's horse run for it and the guards being slaughtered where they stood. Everything was red, but none of them noticed him.
Erwin's eyes widened as he realised that he had lost sight of Eren. The strange men had disappeared, leaving the bodies lying in the road. As much as Erwin wanted to check for any sighs of life, he had to make sure that Eren had made it out. He galloped passed them, not even looking at the horrible sight of flesh and blood, and followed the scent that could only be described as Eren.
It wasn't long until Erwin finally saw Eren, but he was surrounded. He saw Roxas running in his direction and passed him. Erwin knew he had to keep quiet as he moved off the road and into the forest, keeping an eye on what was happening. He managed to get close enough to hear what was being said.
"How do you know my name?" Eren asked. His eyes were wide, and there was obvious fear in them.
"As I said, all in good time. Take him," said one of the strange men. He seemed to be the leader as he was the only one not wearing a cloak.
It was that moment when Erwin watched as seven cloaked men grabbed Eren and tried to tie him up. Erwin could tell that Eren wasn't giving up as he struggled against their grip and kicked them in the shins, but it seemed that they weren't being effected by it. He watched as Eren moved around their grasp and soon they were forced to let go.
Eren was panting as he had used a lot of his energy to get away from that one attack.
"Give up, Eren. Your body guards are all dead, no one will save you. We will not kill you, so you have nothing to fear. Please, come with us," that same man said again.
Why couldn't Erwin tell whether he was an Alpha or Beta? What was going on? He desperately wanted to dive in and save Eren, what what would become of him. These men weren't aiming to kill Eren. They slaughtered some of the finest guards of the palace in less that a few minutes. If he was to be killed, who would tell Rivaille?
Erwin mentally glared at himself as he stood back and continued to watched.
Eren violently shook his head. "Fuck off. Why are you after Omegas? We are nothing to people like you, so why are we so special?" Eren asked. The man rolled his eyes.
"I've had enough of this. Let get this over and done with," he said.
It was that moment when one of the subordinates picked up as large piece of wood and whacked Eren round the head. Eren fell and his eyes were closed before he hit the ground.
Rivaille was going to kill him.
One of the cloaked figures grabbed Eren and put him over his shoulder. They pulled a bunch of black and brown horses out of the forest, and Eren was chucked over one of them.
Erwin watched as Eren was taken away by the bandits. He had to do something, so he followed. He jumped on his horse and trailed behind them. They were fast, but Erwin could keep up. Where were they going? What did they want with Eren? What was Erwin going to say to Rivaille?
There was something off about them. Why were they stealing Omegas? What did they want with Eren? How did they know his name?
Erwin had been chasing after them for an hour and they still hadn't reached their destination. It was around that time when he lost them. They were there one second, and gone the next. He had no scent to follow so it was next to impossible to track.
He looked around his surrounding, realising that he was close to the Rose border.
"Shit," Erwin cussed before turning round and heading back to the palace.
Rivaille was not going to be happy.
. . . .
Levi felt crap for not being able to take Eren to Shiganshina himself. He promised and his damn work always got in the way. Levi just didn't feel right; something felt off and he couldn't put his finger on it.
He was stuck in a meeting, listening to Nile and Farlan argue about whether they should invade Rose or not, when Erwin stormed through the entrance, standing tall in front of the council.
Levi knew something was wrong and he felt something inside him snap. He kept his calm.
"Erwin, what is wrong? Can't you see we are in a meeting?" he asked. Erwin's jaw tensed up and he saluted.
"King Rivaille, I am regretted to inform you that Sir Eren Jäeger has been kidnapped by the bandits," Erwin said. Even Levi could tell that Erwin was afraid of his reaction.
Levi glared and balled his fists.
"Leave us," Levi said in the calmest way possible. Farlan gulped and did as he was told. But the other councillors didn't understand.
"But, Your Majesty-
"Now!" Levi exclaimed. He was losing his temper and wanted answers.
The council members bowed slowly before quickly leaving the room. It was between Erwin and Levi.
"Now, Erwin, care to explain?" Levi asked, leaning back in his chair, glaring like death. Erwin still kept his calm.
"The guards which you assigned to him have been killed. They took Eren alive and I tracked them close to the border of Rose, until I lost them," he said. Levi growled.
"Why the fuck didn't you save him while he was being attack? Or are you that much of an idiot to figure that one out?" Levi said. Erwin sighed.
"Rivaille, there were eight of them. If I had tried to take them on, there is a high chance that I may have been killed, leaving you clueless as to what really happened. I'm sorry, Rivaille," he explained.
Levi looked down and ran his hand through his hair.
"Fucking shit shit shit fuckers!" he exclaimed, though Erwin didn't flinch. "I want him found. I want these people dead."
"I understand. And what of Rose?" he asked. Levi sighed.
"There is no evidence that Rose are truly behind this. I will send a letter to Darius. Even if he is behind this, he is under his own oath not to lie. Rose and Maria have a treaty, so hopefully he sticks to it."
Erwin bowed and left the room, leaving Levi to his own thoughts.
"Hanji!" he shouted. It wasn't long before a head pocked through the door.
"Yes, Levi, you called for moi?" she asked, in her usual cheery manner.
"Shut the fuck up, shitty glasses. I need your help," he said. Her facial expression then became very serious. She stepped into the room.
"What can I do?" she asked.
"Eren has been taken by the bandits. I need you to pair up with Erwin and work out where they have gone. Erwin chased them near the Rose border. They are probably around there," he said. Hanji looked very shock, but frowned.
"What has this got to do with my field of work? How can I help?" she said.
"Erwin didn't mention it, but these people are smart and he couldn't track them. I'm guessing that they used the same methods that they used when they broke into Eren's home back in Shiganshina. I need you to understand how they are able to conceal their scent. By doing this, we may be a step closer to finding Eren and his whereabouts, along with the other Omegas."
Hanji nodded and immediately left the room.
Levi couldn't waste time. He knew that the council members would be back soon, but he needed to get the letter done now.
Darius
As much as I would like to write to you as a friend asking how you are, I am in need of your help. Maria and Rose have been allies for more than a hundred years, and I hope it continues this way.
I do not wish to bore you will a pathetic whim, but my mate has been taken. Remember when I wrote to you a month ago about the matter of Omega's going missing? Well, now they have taken mine.
My head guard has informed me that he followed the bandits to a place near the Rose border before they vanished. There are also reports saying that the kidnappings started near the Rose border as well.
I do not wish to point fingers; you've known me long enough to know I am not like that, but I want answers. I do not wish to play someone's game which involves us going to war against each other. However, if I learn that you are behind this and my mate dies, then I will seriously consider it. I always think that war is a last resort. I do not mean to threaten you, so help me. What do you know? If you are truly my ally, then you will help me.
Rivaille
Levi sighed as he signed his name at the bottom. Darius must have know something; he was the King of Rose after all.
Levi folded the letter and waxed his family seal on it, before giving it to the messenger outside the door.
The council member then began to come back inside. Farlan had a worried on his face. Erwin had announced about Eren to everyone. The news would spread, if it hadn't already, and most people probably wouldn't even care.
Eren was an Omega after all, and without him, Omegas will never have rights.
