He never dreamed this day would come as he darts his eyes around the open rock. He's weaker than most Omegas and with his Alpha hated by most of the other Jackals they always run the risk of being attacked. The memories flood back, his arms tightening around Jason's neck.
Arthur was nearly asleep from exhaustion from being screamed at by his brother earlier in the evening. The Omega wasn't trying to upset the older Alpha but it seemed like everything Arthur did upset him. It was clear that Allistor didn't approve of Arthur's first mate and in the waning hours of that fateful day he would understand why.
While he was forced to watch his village burn, trapped and groped by the Jackals his mate fled into the woods with his tail between his legs.
"Stop..." Arthur mutters softly, looking down just as they reach where the new slaves are standing. "I can't do it."
"But Babe." Jason answers concerned for his trembling mate. "If it's really a clan member than I mean fuck you don't have to see them but hey you've wanted this shit."
"I know." Arthur answers amazed by how use to the constant swearing he's become in the past years. 'It's just,"
With a low growl Jason's eyes narrow. "Look it it's that piece of fucking shit of an ex mate of yours hell I'll kill him for you but I doubt it." His eyes lock with Alfred's and a smirk grows on his face. "Unless his ass was a ginger."
"Ginger?" Instantly Arthur's head snaps up. "Tristan...no."
"Yeah..." Allistor answers seeing the tears start to flow down his brother's cheeks. He wants to reach out and take the younger man from Jason's arms but he's hesitant. "I..." Nothing comes out of his mouth as he takes a step forward.
"Where were you?" Arthur says practically screaming in pent up anger. "You could have helped! Saved me but no your fucking ass was drunk in the woods weren't you?" Allistor doesn't answer as many watch. "Weren't you!?"
He shoves his hands in his pockets. "Yeah I was," Allistor answers in a calm voice feeling Alfred take the crook of his arm. "It was pretty good shit if I remember right." As Arthur opens his mouth Allistor pulls out a dried bunch of dark green leaves. "Sorry it took me so long to get you this and I'm sure yah don't exactly need it anymore."
It's almost surreal for the Omega as he reaches out to take the herb. "You kept it?"
"For five years. I found it that night but well." Instantly Arthur's arms are around his neck and while he nearly falls over Allistor's able to take Arthur out of Jason's arms. "It's alright, all that counts is I found yah and you're safe."
"I am." Arthur starts catching the eye of the blue eyed omega who smiles warmly before Jason takes him back again. "I'm sure you've met my mate already."
"Yeah we've met but," Alfred starts quietly unsure if he should say it or not.
As if reading his mind Arthur lets out a sigh. "It's a long story and it's a bit hard when you're the only healer in the whole bloody place."
Alfred nods and while he can't sense the sets of eyes on them Gilbert clears his throat. "While I know you two would like to catch up it's not really the best place."
"Yeah...is there someplace we can go?" Abel looks up at a few guards seemingly laughing at them.
Arthur exchanges looks with his mate before answering. "We can go back to our flat until yours is assigned to you." In his ear he can hear Jason muttering though he ignores it. "It should only take a few hours at most."
Allistor doesn't have to be told twice so he takes his mate's arm and follows his brother back across the quarry. "Arthur...am I an Uncle?"
Chuckling Jason looks back not able to stop himself. "Yeah I've pumped him full of my seed." It earns him an eye roll from his mate as well as a dirty death glare from the man behind him.
"We have one son well...I do anyway." He can feel Jason tense slightly. "He's four years old...almost five actually." Arthur looks back once they start to climb the steps to the fifth floor. "I um decided to let him have the name his father picked out though I just call him Lei..."
"Not Leon?" Allistor turns back to the Albino who gives him a confused look. "Though Lei is still a fine name." It's a safe topic for anyone listening in though once the doors are closed Allistor's eyes hardens. "What the hell are we up against?"
Sitting his Omega back into his rocking chair Jason answers. "About a hundred of dicks with a load of guns."
Leaning on the back wall Abel crosses his arms. "Shouldn't be too hard to over power them."
"You don't know Jackals then cat."
"True," Abel starts rubbing his back against the wall hoping to scratch an inch. "But we're willing to learn and make friends."
"Well good luck on that shit." He can't help but be pessimistic after spending most of his life in the camp. "Breeds don't exactly place nice with each other unless they really fucking have to and even then it's only to get a job done. It's work or be killed there's nothing else to live for here."
For the first time in more than an hour Alfred speaks up. "Have you even tried?"
"What?"
Alfred shrugs. "I've been here for what like four hours and it doesn't seem like the fiery depths of hell or anything."
"Exactly Pork Chop you've been here for four hours. You'll learn that they don't care about you, your kids or if you're mated." His eyes narrow not caring that the three other Alphas around him have the upper hand now. "Kindness is weakness and they eat the weak."
It's fruitless to argue with the Alpha though Alfred shakes his head. "Whatever Dude." His head is pounding and his stomach is doing flips but he knows all too well that his day isn't even close to being over.
A/N: Sorry that this story has slowed down quite a bit. I've had a busy work schedule plus with Christmas a few days away I've found little time to sit down and just type everything out. Once January rolls around it'll pick up again to a chapter every night to every other night again.
On a side note instead of making Arthur's son an Oc or Peter, the little boy is Hong Kong. I planned that out early on but didn't realize his English name was Leon so I'm going with one of his other names.
Anyway this is a very long A/N so I'll just end it with Happy Holidays and see ya'll after Christmas
