Who Do You Seek?

braxton would have been punished usually for talking like that to his alpha, or another member. they seemed to dislike when he voiced his thoughts and opinions so eventually he did stop doing it all together. he wasn’t sure why he felt he could speak that way to another alpha. thankfully this time he didn’t mind that he spoke about not wanting the bite and that he didn’t see it as a gift. so the young wolf just nodded.

“a little.” he admitted, the new scent was still unfamiliar to him. he felt somewhat more secure now though since arriving. he wasn’t as afraid as he had been when he woke up. braxton let the man dry him off, eyes looking down across his body at the various marks. slowly he headed back to the room, making a face when the man gestured for him to get on the bed. he should have known the man would have wanted sex too. “do you have any clothes i can have?” he finds himself asking, “i wasn’t able to take anything with me.” not that he had much to begin with, and the ones he had been wearing were covered in blood and holed up. plus they reeked of his old pack. slowly braxton got onto the bed, sitting in the middle.

Vincent didn’t dress himself either, just climbed onto the bed with Braxton. “I do, pup. You can start wearing them in the morning. For tonight I want as much of our skin to touch as possible - we’ll get rid of those last little hints of the other pack’s smell.” And they could burn his old close. The boy needed new, nicer ones even if he didn’t need to get rid of the traces of his rival.

He was gentle as he tugged Braxton closer, nuzzling into his slowly drying hair a bit. “We’ll be served our food in here tonight, and we can relax and watch something if you like. Get used to one another. You can cover up when the food is brought in too if you’d like. How does that sound?”

“it’s never been special.” braxton found himself saying. his old alpha never spoke to him like this, he didn’t care much at all about his feelings or to hear anything about him. this was odd to him. braxton closed his eyes again, resting his head down against the alphas chest, enjoying the way the man toyed with his hair. “i don’t think so.” braxton could disagree, politely. after while braxton nodded, and soon enough they were getting out. only after the water chilled though and they both sat there for about five minutes.

Vincent frowned slightly, “Well... it will be from now on.” He told the boy. The Alpha wasn’t necessarily the easiest person to serve but he believed in a lot more give and take than some of his contemporaries. “You don’t think so because you didn’t have a choice, you came into it with no knowledge and a savage Alpha. It would be different had you been turned by someone like me. But no matter, I do understand where you’re coming from pup.” He didn’t seem to mind that Braxton disagreed.

Once they were out of the tub and the water was draining, Vincent pulled out two fluffy towels, draping one around his own waist before using the other to begin gently drying Braxton off, taking care where he was bruised. “Feel a little better after the bath?” He certainly smelled better. Then dried himself off and put the towels aside, not bothered by the nudity as he lead the way back into the room. He gestured for Braxton to get on the bed.

“i don’t like celebrating my birthday. so that’s okay. thank you though…” he didn’t want to seem ungrateful, but his birthday was just another day to him. it had never been special. “800?” he peered up at the man, “you don’t look it.” he added in. braxton could no longer smell his old pack, just barely he picked up faint traces every once in awhile but for the most part it had been masked already. “n-no i didn’t want it.” brax shook his head lightly. his life had been hard enough as it was, the bite just added to his suffering. “they just took me. and brought me to him, i didn’t get a choice.”

“That’s a shame pup. You’re so young, it should still be special.” They could make it special for him, though Vincent supposed there was no rush to start. He smiled a little, “No I suppose I don’t. But one day you might be in the same position.” The Alpha reached to stroke his hair lightly as the boy explained the bite, “Sweet thing. The bite is a gift but probably better received when fully explained and desired.” He didn’t tend to turn many, and those he did knew what they were walking into. Once he was done making sure his own nose was satisfied that the boy was clean and smelled mostly of his new pack, he tucked him in closer. “Let me know when you feel ready to get out pup, but we can keep enjoying this soak for a time.”

brax pressed his lips together tightly when the man told him he could touch too. though maybe that was better for another time, when he was much more acquainted with vincent. “i just turned twenty a couple weeks ago.” he answered, and his birthday had been hell. just like all the others. “how old are you, sir?” he found himself asking without much thought. he just knew some were much older than they looked, that was always interesting to him.

Vincent smiled a little, the boy was so young. “A couple of weeks ago? Perhaps I’ll have to get you some belated cake.” His tone wasn’t mocking. “Going on 800 now, pup. The exact numbers start to matter less to you as you get older.” They started to blur together - the others in the pack were more likely to remember his exact age than he was. Now the Alpha picked up a cloth, starting to ease it over the boy’s body along with some soap. “Did you ask for the bite, pup? Or were you chosen?”

braxton tensed slightly when the other started laughing, expecting the worse, though nothing came. just an explanation. “okay…” he mumbled, relaxing once more when hands brushed through his dark locks. wetting it, and pushing them back some. lightly the man ran his fingers along his body. the naturally tanned skin had its share of bruises that had yet to heal unfortunately. “yes, sir. of course.” he agreed it with man, it was better to agree. he let out a little sigh, running his hands through the water some before reaching up to run at his eyes.

“You can touch me too, if you like pup.” Vincent invited him, though he wasn’t entirely sure Braxton would take him up on the offer. His fingers traced light circles around the bruises, though he was careful not to press on them. “How old are you? You must be young if you were only turned a year ago. Are you even twenty yet, pup?” He asked curiously. He was interested in knowing things about his omegas.

braxton gave the man a look when he was praised, it was a foreign thing to him. he didn’t understand what he did that had him earning such a thing–braxton stood still once they entered the bathroom. letting vincent remove his overly large clothes, they were covered in blood spots, there were holes in them, probably some semen as well. he just took what he got. he always had. he watched, and waited until the man motioned him into the warm bath. settling himself back against the others chest. his eyes fell shut, brows knitted tightly. this was so nice compared to what he thought scenting had meant.

“yes.” he said after some thought. “it wasn’t like this. are you–are you sure you’re…you’re doing it right?”

Luckily for Braxton, Vincent chuckled, amused by the suggestion he didn’t know what he was doing instead of angered. “Yes pup, I’m sure. Both ways work but what I’m not sure my former friend realises is that this way works better. It sinks in more. Holds longer. Smells better, even.” 

The Alpha carefully wet Braxton’s hair and brushed it all back from his face, seeming satisfied enough then that the process had fully started. His hands moved across the boy’s body, always light and gentle, not demanding anything yet. “You’re going to like your new home.”

braxtoncarterx:

“okay,” the boy nodded lightly. he guessed only serving one person would be better than the whole pack. except he’d always be on edge and doing as best as he could. this wasn’t a beta, or another omega. this was the alpha. he had to be on his best behavior. braxton frowned lightly but nodded, he’d need to be scented by this one now, he’d need to smell like him. brax swallowed thickly, reaching out to take the offered hand. “yes, sir.” came his quiet response before walking off to the bathroom with the stranger.

“Good boy,” Vincent praised him, squeezing Braxton’s fingers when he took his hand. He lead the way to the bathroom and decided on a bath, since it would offer him the most relaxed contact. It didn’t take long to have the luxurious tub full, nor to strip them both naked. Vincent made himself comfortable before guiding the omega to join him and sit between his legs. Then he pulled him close and nuzzled against the side of his head.

“I’ll bet they scented you with force, didn’t they?”

[theothersouls]

braxtoncarterx:

“no.” braxton said with a frown. there wasn’t anything special about him, the other members told him numerous times he was just an omega–he could be replaced at any time. killed any time. no matter how uneasy the wolf felt he knew he couldn’t tell an alpha no. so if the man wanted him, he’d have him. because braxton didn’t have a backbone to speak up for himself.

“i don’t know that i will.” he licked his lips, pulling his hands back towards himself. resisting the urge to pick nervously. why was he asking so many questions? braxton glanced away from the other. “never fight back, submit, always do as i’m told. i’m there for everyone else’s pleasure, for their release…sexual or physical. basically just be good, don’t mess up, always listen.”

“You’re here for me now. I give you permission to politely tell anyone else who tries that you’ve been told that. If they continue, you tell me. They’ll know they’re not to touch you and should listen to that. If they don’t... they’ll learn quickly.” Vincent rarely had troubles with his pack but one could never say never.

The Alpha rose up and stretched out, “C’mon pup. You need to shower, get their scent off you.” And Vincent’s on him. “You can show me some of what you learned in the bathroom.” Shower or bathtub - there was something he could do. The man even offered Braxton his hand.

[theothersouls]

braxtoncarterx:

“i- there’s nothing special about me.” braxton looked away from the elder wolf, turning his eyes towards the floor. the alpha wanted him to himself, braxton had rarely served his last alpha directly. it was mostly the betas. “do you have…don’t you have other omegas?”

“he was intense.” the young wolf admitted. “he had to be i guess.” he looked up at the alpha when he grabbed his hands, biting down on his bottom lip at the question. “basics… shifting, minimal control. how to be a good omega…” braxton shrugged lightly. “i don’t feel comfortable here. this isn’t home.”

“Isn’t there?” He asked in response, smiling faintly as the omega’s eyes dropped to the floor. Clearly his enemy hadn’t been the kindest. “The pack does, yes. But I want you in particular.” And there were lovely omegas in his pack but they weren’t this one. 

Vincent’s smile grew a little, pulling slightly into a smirk before relaxing again. “You’ll get used to it. I’ll teach you more control too.” And he’d probably have to correct a few habits he didn’t want in a ‘good omega’ but that wasn’t the pup’s fault. “What did you get taught about being a good omega, little one?”

[theothersouls]

braxtoncarterx:

“you?” braxton sounded a bit shocked. “you brought me here? why?” he had heard of the pack rivalry, though he only knew so much. they didn’t exactly keep him in on the loop with most things. and he hadn’t asked much. they preferred him when he didn’t ask questions. “trophy?” he couldn’t help but voice his thoughts this time. braxton swallowed thickly, and glanced around. taking in his surroundings slowly, his wolf was unsteady. he didn’t know he could call them his pack–did he have a choice? 

“it’s been hard.” and he thought being human was hard. braxton leaned back away from the alpha some, fingers picking away at the skin around his nails nervously. “adjusting is hard. learning everything has been even harder but i–i’m still learning everything.”

“Mmm, you’re a lovely little thing. I wanted you for myself.” He’d just about decided that he would keep the omega for himself. There were others to serve the rest of the pack, after all. 

Vincent chuckled, “And he’s a rather savage Alpha, isn’t he?” Not that he didn’t have his own forms of savagery, after all he’d taken the omega for himself. Even though the boy would heal, he reached out to catch his hands so he wouldn’t continue to pick at his fingers. “And what have you learned, pup?”

[theothersouls]

braxtoncarterx:

braxton’s lips parted when the man told him he was his alpha now. what about his other alpha? sure he didn’t like him much but he was his alpha. all of the pack dynamics were were still brand new to him, it had hardly been a year. braxton didn’t pull away from the light touch however, even if he wanted to. “braxton.” he swallowed thickly, giving a shake of his head. “n-no…about a year. i was- i was human.” he told him.“what happened to my other pack? why did they bring me here?”

He swiped his thumb over the omega’s lips lightly.·“I brought you here. Not them. We’re not exactly friendly, your old Alpha and I.” They had a long history of trying to one up one another. Vincent had the proud claim of winning more often.·“No wonder I hadn’t seen you, with you only being turned a year ago. What a lovely trophy I now have. Don’t worry pup, you’re staying here from now on. I’ll make sure of it.” And he wasn’t entirely sure he wanted to share the boy either, he was such a pretty little thing.

“I bet it’s been one hell of a year.”

[theothersouls]

braxtoncarterx:

the past year had been a hard one for braxton. adjusting to his new life was more than a little rough. going from living in near poverty alone, working any odd job he could get to make money–to serving a pack of wolves after being turned into one was hard. the full moons didn’t get easier to deal with, and the wolves who were supposed to be helping him cope were just abusing him, mentally and physically. the only good thing now was that he could heal most wounds inflicted on his own. mentally, not so much. 

most days braxton tried to just keep his head down, take care of the pack like he needed to and do whatever they wanted. just to get through the day. except one night he was stirred awake, and not by a pack member needing relief. it was by someone he didn’t know. and they didn’t mean to wake him up. as soon as they saw he was awake, his head collided back against the wall and everything went black. 

“where am i–who…who are you?!” braxton came too, surrounded by unfamiliar scents and people. this wasn’t pack, this wasn’t his pack. brax’s eyes were wide, fear clear on his features. “you’re not my- you’re not my um…” braxton’s brows furrowed together, glancing between the unfamiliar faces. something told him the more dominant of the ones around him was the one closing in on him. and what he was thinking, just came out without any thought. “you’re not my alpha.”

Vincent dismissed the others with a wave of his hand, not concerned about the little omega. Once they were gone, he took a seat on the cot he’d been placed on, eyes quietly studying the boy. Finally he revealed, “I am now.” Loyalties of betas and Alphas didn’t necessarily change easily but it did for many omegas. Not all, some were very loyal, even more than the betas or Alphas but that was under different circumstances than he’d found this one in. He was sure the boy would follow him.

“What’s your name, pup? You haven’t been a wolf long, have you?” The Alpha reached out to caress his chin, touch light. Surely he would have noticed him with his rival pack if it had been very long. Braxton was his now though and he planned to keep it that way.
