Your feet burn like fire, pebbles and mud sticking to the bottom of your once soft petal paws. Tears burn your eyes, making your vision blurry. Your hair is disgusting and disheveled.
And your body, was just an overall mess, bruises and blood coated your once beautiful skin, it hurt so much, every muscle movement made you want to scream in pain but none of this mattered.
What mattered to you, in this moment, was getting you and your pup to safety. To get the both of you away from the lab you were forced to reside in, forced to breed, forced to birth out your pups.
You had originally birthed out 4 pups over the years you were captured, however, you never even got to hold your pups after you birthed them, before you could even lay your eyes on them; they had already been taken away from you.
Your heart ached for them, your omega inside you felt like she was rotting. Wanting nothing more than to hold your pups but you never got to.
Until now, now you were running from the lab that had kidnapped you all those years ago.
Running from the alphas that strapped you down. Running from your trauma, all while holding your whimpering pup close to your heart. Your heat radiating from you to your small pup, she curls into your chest more when you bring your hand up to her head; blocking her delicate face from any debris.
It was cold out, so before you escaped, you had made sure to bundle your newborn up tight and warm. Leaving you in nothing but a worn out hospital gown that did nothing to heat or protect you but you couldn’t even bring yourself to care as you searched desperately for a way out of these woods.
Thankfully, the nightfall made it easier to escape into the tree-line but you didn’t know your way around the woods. Barely even knew what was north or south.
Stopping for a breather, you take in your surroundings. It had been, what you estimated, nearly 4 hours. 4 hours of running, making you exhausted and out of breath. You had no time to pack anything, not like you had even owned anything, but this left you with no food or water.
You didn’t hear or smell any of the labs security guards chasing you anymore, thinking they had probably been cold off. But you knew, come dawn, they would start their hunt to find you and trap you once again.
You sat down near a log, resting just for a moment. You had only closed your eyes for a moment before you heard your pup cry. “Must be hungry sweetheart,” you giggle, trying to make the best of the moment with your baby.
Pulling the side of your gown down to let out your breast, the cold air stings your skin making you shiver. You shake this off before guiding your pups face towards your nipple, only relaxing once she attaches herself, small whimpers leaving her while she drinks.
You run your hand over her soft face, smiling softly wondering what the future now holds for you both.
The moment is cut short by a twig snapping nearby. To close for comfort, you freeze. Thinking a guard had already caught up with you in the short amount of time. It stung to suddenly rip your pup off of you while she was drinking but you had to in order to protect yourself and her.
She let out a cry from losing the sensation of her mother and source of food. You whence at her sound, shushing her quietly. Tears ran down your face as you stood up quickly, looking around the dark forest. You couldn’t see anything but a smell hit you.
At first, you smelt an alpha but it wasn’t like the ones you had gotten uncomfortably used to like the ones in the lab. This alpha smelt oddly safe?
An earthy sage, tobacco, and peppermint oil filled your nostrils. You take in the scent, your nostrils twitch trying to make out if you should run or stay.
While you think, a lamp comes into view. The soft orange glow lighted up the small area. From what you knew, it didn’t look like the flashlights the guards had all used so you knew for a fact it wasn’t one of them, but you still guarded yourself from whoever it was stalking towards you and your pup.
Unveiling themselves from the shadows, a man appears. A tall alpha, with dark hair and stubble kissing along his handsome features. He wore what seemed like a soft jacket perfect for the winter months, paired with a pair of warm jeans a lumberjack would wear.
To you, he looked and smelled safe. His scent has now overwhelmed you, feeling as if he was letting off a pheromone that was specifically to calm an omega such as yourself.
But you wouldn’t let down your guard, a growled escaped from your throat. Not wanting the broad alpha to come closer to your pup and you.
The man raises his hand, sensing your security, an act of kindness. “Don’t worry, no trouble here ma’am,” he half mumbles, in order to soothe you knowing that an alpha stumbling upon a lone omega and her puppy was utterly terrifying. “ ‘you lost?” He asks, eyeing you down with his glossy blue eyes. He takes the time you down answer to take in your appearance.
Your hair was matted, ankles swollen, body painted in ugly bruises and your own blood, the hospital gown you were was tattered from long wear and the trees scraping it, one of the shoulders were down giving him a full view of your breast that he quickly looked away from and focused on your face instead, you were beautiful despite the ugliness that had surrounded you.
It was then he realized something was in-fact wrong. You hadn’t answered his question, too afraid to speak. He slowly nods towards you, “I have a cottage not too far from here.., you and your pup are more than welcome to stay,” the man remarked. “I promise, you’ll be safe there,” his last statement stuck out to you. ‘Safe’, a word to describe being secure from danger, a word you hadn’t thought of in 6 entire years.
The man nodded towards the trees as her started to move towards what you presumed was his house. You hesitated, looking down at your pup who you noticed had calmed down once the alpha had fully showed himself and released calming pheromones.
You took that as the go ahead to start following the alpha.
It took approximately 20 minutes before you arrived in-front of a cozy wood cabin. It was dark but you could appreciate the architecture of the small home.
The alpha lead you in, pushing through the entrance, warmth hit your face. The entire cabin was warm due to the nice fire burning in the fireplace in the corner of his living space.
“You can stay here tonight, take a shower, do whatever you need to fee comfortable,” the alpha huffs while gesturing to the bathroom down the hall.
“I’m James, by the way, but people just call me Bucky,” he mutters awkwardly, not really used to having anyone around to actually talk to, let alone somebody that looked like they had been through hell. “Bucky..” you whisper to yourself.
Turning to actually look at Bucky, you finally notice the metal arm that took over his left shoulder. It confused and frightened you quite a bit, but you let that simmer down. He couldn’t be dangerous right? He so graciously let you into his den.
Clutching your pup more towards your chest, still anxious about being with an alpha in his is own space nonetheless, a space that smelled overwhelmingly like him. You made a mental note of where all the windows were located, incase you needed to escape.
Wondering down the hallway, you payed no mind to the alpha watching you with a mighty gaze. “Take as long as you need,” Bucky stated before you shut the bathroom door.
Honestly, you still didn’t feel very safe to leave your pup with a stranger alpha while you showered nor did you just want her to be away from your body whatsoever. So, debating on how you should clean yourself, you just decide to rub yourself ‘clean’ with a warm rag.
It’s not hygienic in the slightest, but to you, it was better than being away from your pup. You could keep an eye on her while you rubbed the dirt from your body, you set her atop of the pristine sink. Rubbing the damp warm towel across your naked body, hissing when it went over a fresh cut.
Finished washing yourself with just water, you flinch when a knock comes through the locked bathroom door.
“I uh, brought you some clothes-just a t-shirt and shorts. I hope that’s alright I’m not sure they’ll fi-” Bucky is cut off by the door opening, a blush creeping across his face seeing you completely bare in-front of him.
To you, this was normal. Being naked was just a natural thing inside the lab you had come to know, being groomed into thinking you must be ready to present yourself and take a breeding whenever possible.
So, opening the bathroom door in nothing but your own skin, didn’t embarrass you the way it should’ve.
“Thank you,” you uttered before all but snatching the garments from the man and closing the door once again. Bucky blinked, embarrassed by seeing you so bare in-front of him.
He didn’t want to stare at your naked body but he did, not sexually but rather painfully. Bucky took notice of the scars, welts, and open wounds that had covered your body. The stretch marks that covered your tummy, as well as an obvious c-section scar.
His heart hurt for you. You looked like such a delicate flower whose petals were bruised. The alpha in him wanted to growl, not at you but at whoever had put you through pain.
Bucky didn’t understand why he, an unmated alpha who doesn’t even know you, felt such an urge to protect you. Thinking to himself as he shuffles to the kitchen, he blames the protectiveness on his hormones, maybe it was just having and omega and her pup in his space making him protective, who knows.
The moment you emerge from the bathroom, the cottage smelt of something warm. Your stomach growled when you sniffed the air some more.
You slowly made your way into the kitchen, your pup on your hip babbling whatever nonsense. You bit your lip, eager to hold back the smile that wanted to make its way across your face at the way your pup seemed to melt into your embrace.
Bucky turned around, sensing your presence. “I made soup,” Bucky exhaled, “ ‘wasn’t too sure what you like to eat.” You blinked, you’re actually not too sure what you like to eat either. You were used to eating whatever the doctors ordered you to eat, you’re not even sure the diet they had you on was necessary healthy.
“It’s..okay,” you had muttered. Used to being quiet, you aren’t sure if you should speak up now that you had escaped. Fearing a punishment if you raised your voice too much. So you muttered and whispered, choosing the safest option.
Bucky gestured for you to sit down before sliding over a bowl of the soup he mentioned. It looked good, and smelt good as-well but the taste it what stunned you. You hadn’t eaten anything as good as this in 6 years. You moaned at the taste of the chicken noodle soup in your mouth.
Bucky chuckled, “ ‘it’s good huh?”. You nodded eagerly and scarfed down the rest of the soup. Your pup whined when a drop of it had fallen onto her small head. Placing the bowl down, you smiled down at her before wiping away the droplet from her head.
Bucky stayed silent as he watched the interaction between you too, he had already ate hours before finding you scared in the woods so he didn’t make himself a bowl. Staring down at the hardwood floor he installed himself way back, he spoke up, “you’re free to take my bed to sleep in, I can take the couch.” You paused for a moment, glancing up at the alpha. “I- no, you should have your bed, we’ll be fine,” you croaked. Bucky shook his head, his dark hair falling over his eyes for a brief moment. “Please,” he protested, “I insist-You should be able to sleep more comfortably there.”
Thinking for a beat, it would feel nice to sleep in a bed rather than the coats you were used to sleeping on every night. The uncomfortable sensation from the old coats creeped up your neck, shaking away the memory you nodded. “Yes, sir.”
Bucky was taken aback by the term, ‘sir’. It didn’t sit well with him but he didn’t want to push you too far, noticing you were clearly tired.
“My bedroom is just down the hall,” he nodded towards the end of the hallway. And with that, you gracefully thanked him for the hospitality and quietly made your way to the room.
Once inside, you took a chance to look around and smell before setting your pup on the bed. When you escaped in a hurry, you had only grabbed one spare diaper from the nurses tray. You mentally cursed at yourself while you changed her diaper, switching the old one to the new and making quick to clean her up before feeding her.
You cupped her head as she drank from you, lying back into the soft pillows of the alphas bed. The bed that smelled so much like the man you had practically just met.
Much like Bucky, you weren’t sure why you trusted him. It just felt so natural to trust him but you had only learned his name about an hour ago. Besides that, you don’t know him. When he stumbled upon you and your pup in the woods, your first instinct was to shield yourself from him but upon him getting closer, he felt safe.
Like you could trust him.
You shook the thoughts away when your pup pulled away from your nipple and hiccuped. “Full already?,” you hummed while wiping away some drool from her soft face.
You burped her before placing her on the right side of the bed. Your omega instincts telling you to just removed the pillow and blankets to avoid hurting her.
She layed on her side facing you, and you did the same. Her chubby cheeks squished into the soft mattress as she watched you, softly babbling to herself. You wondered what she was thinking, hoping it was nothing but happiness.
You stayed up while watching her fall asleep, playing with the tiny hairs on her head before kissing her cheek. You felt such relief that she was safe, here with you, her mother.
