The Claimed Omega

The sweet omega whimpers in pain when Minwoo tries to pry the alpha away from him, which is impossible because of the strong hold on the omega's neck. Sitting on the pavement, not knowing how to stop what is happening, Minwoo looks at the pale omega. He is starting to sob again. The sweet omega is crying. He is finally conscious, and he is fucking scared! And Minwoo can feel everything the omega is feeling!

Fucking stop!! STOP CRYING!!!

He cannot stand looking at the shaking omega who is too weak to do anything. He sees the helplessness in those eyes, the omega wants to escape but it is impossible. He can feel helplessness! He hates that! He cannot leave the man here! But he doesn't know what to do! He cannot fight off this many aroused, aggressive alphas!

'STOP CRYING!!! JESUS!' Minwoo gets up and pulls the dazed alpha's hand away from the omega, throwing the man to the side when the omega is free. Maybe he can carry the omega away with him.

…Fucking hell. What the hell is wrong with these alphas?! They are already closing in again! They don't even care about his presence!

CALM DOWN! WHY WON'T THE OMEGA CALM DOWN??! HE CANNOT THINK RIGHT NOW!

'GET AWAY FROM HIM!' He growls loudly at the crowd which renders them motionless for a while, before a few starts growling back.

DAMNIT!! STOP CRYING! STOP PANICKING! WHAT THE FUCK?!!

Pushing the other alphas away, Minwoo punches one who tries to pull the omega's leg towards him. Shit. This is impossible. He cannot do this. They are acting like animals!! Why aren't anyone doing anything to help??

'Urghh!!!' His ears hurt from the howling! Why are they howling?? Shit, another guy's already on the omega! 'Get away from him!!' He pulls the alpha off.

This is useless. He cannot do anything. He should get away from here. But he doesn't want to leave the omega alone. The omega looks so weak, so fragile. Minwoo needs to protect him. He needs to protect this omega.

He needs to protect this omega.

Protect.

Getting on top of the omega, Minwoo pulls on his right shoulder, and another pushes the head away, revealing his bruised neck. This is the only way. He doesn't have time to waste.

'Shh… pretty omega. It'll be okay.' He whispers hastily. 'I'll protect you.'

Closing his eyes, Minwoo bites the neck, so hard he can feel blood flowing out. He hears another wave of howls behind him but the sound is quickly diluted by the long beeping in his ears.

His head turns blank, and as if his whole senses are broken, he can no longer feel anything….

The whole world seems like a dream…

'AARGHHH!' His brain is suddenly shocked by waves of electrics, travelling through his whole body, causing him to jump away from the omega who is starting to spasm.

Fuck. What did he do?

Minwoo feels his body being hit and turns back to see the alphas around him starting to regain their conscience, running away from the scene. It is a total chaos - everyone steps on each other, pushing so they can escape. Few of them collide with him and fall down but get up despite their injuries, never looking back.

Staring at the omega in front of him, Minwoo backs away. He is not moving anymore; blood is oozing from his bite and other crevices. What did he do?

Owh god. He- he killed the omega.

Shit. His head hurts. He is starting to see stars. He needs to get away from here. He needs to get far away from here.

Fuck. He killed the omega.

Fuck.

Minwoo doesn't know how far he ran but he finally stops when his legs give in, throwing up the moment his knees reach the cold pavement. He- He just killed someone. He is a killer. He is the worst of all the alphas there. He is a piece of trash.

'Blearghhh!!!' He vomits again as the image of the  bloodied omega flashes in his mind.

/You hear someone calling you…/

'Minwoo-sshi! Are you okay?' Minwoo feels someone holding his shaky shoulders, rubbing circles on his back to help him clear out his gut. He recognizes this voice.

'Don't tell anybody…'

#####

'Welcome back.' Minwoo opens his eyes to the face of the woman in her late forties. She hands him some tissue and he realizes his is crying so badly his nose is stuffed. Chris is nowhere to be seen though, Minwoo finds himself searching for his companion. He feels grateful towards the man. Yes, he never thought he would think so himself, but he does. He realized the man saved him. Twice. Maybe thrice. Chris saved him from his own recklessness.

After going through his memories with the hypnotherapist, Minwoo finally thanks her for her expertise. He never believed in this kind of thing, thinking it is bogus, but experiencing it firsthand, he has to admit it really helps him. He really hopes what he saw is the truth. That it is not something he just subconsciously created to run away from reality.

Getting inside the car, Minwoo leans back against the backrest, lowering himself so he is almost in a laying position. Bringing a hand up, he rests his forearm above his eyes, covering them so his vision is completely dark, trying to relax, trying to find peace.

'What's your decision?'

Sighing, Minwoo opens his eyes to look out the window, 'I'll do the test.'

That shouldn't be a question anymore. He should do it. Not because he needs to prove himself to Wonho. Not anymore. He might have come here to confirm what happened so he wouldn't get himself in trouble when the result of the DNA test is out, but now, that is the least of his concern. Wonho is right, it doesn't matter what the result is, the abuse still happened, he is still a victim, his attackers are all still free. One person proving his innocence won't make things better.

But he should still do it.

He should do it because Wonho deserves to know.

He needs to know the truth, not because Minwoo wants to be free of the accusation but because Wonho deserves to be at peace, at least inside the campus walls.

He couldn't help Wonho that night, but he can do this much….

…but the real question is, how should he explain it to the omega?
