Chapter 9

(Noctis)
Noctis regained consciousness slowly about an hour later. When he remembered what had happened, he stood up quickly, almost falling over due to the movement.
"Prompto!" He shouted, but the blonde wolf was nowhere to be seen. In frustration, he let out a loud yell.
Ignis and Gladio appeared next to him suddenly, with looks of concern, ready to fight if they needed to protect the prince.
"Are you all right, your highness? We were growing concerned so we came to look for you, and we heard you just now" Ignis said.
"I'm fine, but Prompto…"
"Hey, where is sunshine at?" Gladio asked. Noctis didn't say anything, but looked at the ground, his ears flattening against his head in anger.
"Noctis, did something happen to Prompto?"
"Yeah. You remember that creepy guy that was stalking him? He showed up, started talking crazy about Prom being an omega, and then he knocked me out and took Prom with him. But Prom isn't an omega, so I don't understand why that guy would think he is."
"It appears as if Prompto didn't get the chance to properly explain to you before he was taken."
"Ignis, what do you know? Tell me whats going on." Noctis demands, raising his voice.
"Come on Noct, are you really that dense? Prompto hasn't exactly been very subtle recently." Gladio says matter of factly.
"So you noticed. I suspected that you would eventually." Ignis says while pushing his glass up his nose. "Noct, you wanted to take Prompto here to talk to him privately, but he had also wanted to get you alone to explain things to you. Prompto isn't an alpha like we all thought. Ardyn was in fact correct when he said that he is an omega."
"I… don't understand? You knew? Both of you? And nobody told me? Did… he not trust me?" Noctis said, suddenly full of self doubt at the thought of his best friend not trusting him.
"It's a complicated matter. I only found out because we were doing regular background checks on the people in your high school, and it showed up in a medical report. He wanted to tell you, but he wasn't sure how you would take it. If I recall, there were a lot of alphas at your school that mistreated anybody that was an omega. Prompto spent a lot of time agonizing over whether or not it would ruin your friendship."
"I found out only recently. It was kinda obvious with the way you two have been acting around each other lately. Not to mention every once in a while I'd catch a scent off him that only omegas give off. I figured he'd tell us when he was ready so I wasn't going to push it."
Not knowing how to respond to all of this information at once, Noctis just stood there with his head and ears low. How could he have been so dense? Now that he thought about it, it really was obvious. All of the signs were there, from that first time he smelled that sweet scent, to that time he ran into Iris and Prompto outside the omega store.
Noctis suddenly growled in frustration and grabbed his ears, while falling to his knees. He felt a comforting hand on his shoulder, and knowing that it was Ignis, he didn't look up.
"We have to get Prom back. We can't let him get claimed by such a creepy alpha."
"Yes, we certainly do need to go and rescue him. I believe the chancellor has a place he stays while he's here in Lucis. He's probably headed there now. Prompto is a fighter, so let's hope he's able to hold the chancellor off until we are able to rescue him."
Without waiting another moment, Noctis stood up and started walking back towards the camp and where they parked the car. Ignis and Gladio followed quickly behind him. Once they were all back in the car, Ignis wasted no time in driving towards where he had hoped the chancellor had taken Prompto.

(Prompto)
Prompto felt himself being forcibly dragged away from Noctis as he fought to stay by his prince's side, but it was useless. The creepy alpha was bigger, and much stronger then he was. The last thing he saw before he was knocked out was Noctis laying on the ground unconscious. Prompto's throat was raw, so he was probably screaming, though he can't remember.
He now sat in an unfamiliar room, filled with the strong scent of an unfamiliar alpha. His nerves were on high alert, his ears perked up and his hair slightly standing up.
I'm so stupid. This wouldn't be happening right now if I had just told Noct sooner. I deserve whatever happens to me at this point. He could feel his resolve to fight slowly withering away. This isn't at all how he pictured he would be claimed. Like many omegas, he had hoped to find a kind and loving alpha that would treat him with respect.
Suddenly, the only door in the room opened, and in strolled the man that had taken him.
"Oh, have you given up already? What a shame. I must admit I had hoped you would fight much longer then that."
Prompto said nothing, but glared defiantly at the man.
"There it is. That will of yours that drew me to you. It must have come from you pretending to be an alpha for so long. Tell me, why did you keep it a secret from your friends? Did you not trust them?"
Prompto knew he was only trying to get a rise out of him, so he continued to ignore what he was saying.
"Come now, don't ignore me. You'll have to talk to me eventually, especially since I fully intend to claim you as mine. Maybe if you're a good little omega, I'll let you see your friends again. Although, would they even want to see you again after finding out what you are?"
Prompto could feel his ears and tail droop at that statement. He was right. Noctis probably hated him for sure now. But Ignis and Gladio wouldn't just leave him here, would they? Their only job is to protect Noct, so maybe they would leave him here? The more Prompto thought about it, the more resigned to his fate he became. If he didn't fight back as escape, this would be his new life. A captive in a loveless relationship.
Ardyn was suddenly in front of him, with a hand on Prompto's cheek, forcing him to look at the man. Without hesitating, Prompto smacked his hand away, and aimed a punch right at the man's face. When his fist made contact with his face, Prompto smirked. In retaliation, Ardyn backhanded him hard enough to cause him to fall to the floor.
"Now then, see what you make me do?" Ardyn said, glaring down at the young wolf. "You'll learn your place in time, I assure you. Now, I have some tasks to attend to, so unfortunately I must be off, but you'll be safe here in this room, and when I return, you will be mine. To make sure that you don't try to escape, the door will be locked." And with that, Ardyn exited the room, leaving Prompto alone once again.
Once he was sure that the chancellor wasn't coming back, Prompto sat up and put a hand onto his cheek where he was hit. Pulling his hand back when he felt something wet on his cheek, he realized that Ardyn must have been wearing a ring that had left a cut on his face. Wiping the blood that was now on his hand onto his pants, He quickly stood up and decided to look around the room, hoping to find any opening for him to escape.
The room was sparsely furnished. There was a bed, a desk and a simple wooden chain. Above the desk was a window, which he could see out of. When he looked out he saw that he was on the third floor of whatever building they were in, and that the building was surrounded by trees. He assumed they weren't anywhere near a city. There was also another door that he didn't notice earlier. When he opened it, he saw that it only lead to a small bathroom. He walked over to the sink and looked at his reflection in the mirror. He had a cut that went down his cheek, surrounded by a newly forming bruise. He also noticed he had bruises on his arms, probably from where Ardyn had grabbed him when he was being taken.
Returning back to the room and looking at the bed, he wondered if this was going to be his new permanent room, or if the chancellor would expect him to share a room with him after he was officially claimed. Prompto shuddered at that thought. He really didn't want to be claimed by that man.
Prompto found his thoughts wandering back to Noctis. He wondered if Ignis and Gladio had found him and had taken care of his injuries yet. Knowing Ignis, he probably already has the prince bandaged up and sitting near the fire, refusing to let to prince do anything until he was certain he wounds were taken care of. Promptly felt himself smiling sadly at the thought.
Not knowing what else to do, Prompto moved towards a corner of the room and sat on the floor, wrapping his tail around him, his ears laying flat against his head. He wanted to desperately find a way out of this room, but he wasn't sure how. He supposed he could try to jump out of the window, but he wasn't sure if he could make that jump without getting injured.
Prompto felt himself growing sleepier as time passed. Despite not wanting to fall asleep, Prompto couldn't keep his eyes open anymore, and he found himself drifting off into sleep.

AN: Whats this? an update? =O
sorry for going on a hiatus with this story. I had a lot of things going on in my life that took my full focus to be able to handle. But I am back, and writing again! And I really do plan on finishing this story. I cannot guarantee that I'll have updates on a regular schedule, but I do have a few chapters already written out. I'll be posting this chapter, as well as chapter 10 today. I'm hoping to get to at least 12 chapters with this story, maybe 13, so we're getting closer to the end! I also did some editing to chapters 1-8! I didn't make any significant changes to the plot, but I did go back and replaced beta with omega, since thats what I was really going for when I originally began this story.
