Chapter Text
I hate Alphas so fucking much; bunch of overaggressive sex-obsessed selfish assholes. If I had it my way, I’d never run into another one as long as I live.
The fact that I was an Omega had little influence on my opinion of Alphas; matter of fact it only solidified it in my mind.
They never see me as anything but a slick hole to fuck; they never acknowledge me as a damned person in my own right with my own needs and wants and ambitions. Worse, they always just assume I’m some dainty flower in need of protecting. I can handle myself thanks very much!
To top it off, there was this one obnoxious Alpha I kept running into everywhere I went: Captain Eustass Kid of the Kid Pirates. Loud, brash, bloodthirsty; the most typical Alpha I’ve ever had the misfortune to meet with his scent of rust, grease, and musk. He didn’t notice my presentation right off, thanks to the suppressors I take, and cussed me out for getting my little dinghy in the way of his monstrosity of a ship. He never expected me to cuss him out in response; few are willing to talk back to an angry Alpha after all. Since then I think he’s been going out of his way to get in my lane and piss me off.
Millions of leagues of water out here on the Grand Line, and everywhere I go he’s there! God, get a damn life and leave me the hell alone already!
It came to a head on the Sabaody Archipelago, as we were all trying to flee the Admirals that stupid Straw-hat had called down on us.
I mean I see why he decked that Celestial Dragon in his stupid fat face, and I kind of applaud him for it, but seriously what was he thinking? He’s going to get his whole crew killed at that rate and the rest of us will get caught in the crossfire!
I had my little dinghy ready to sail when a shadow fell over me. “Hey- no!” I abandoned ship just as the prow of a much larger ship crushed it.
Fucking hell! My boat, all my stuff!
“Captain! We’ve run over a vessel!”
“Woman overboard!”
I surfaced as a rope landed next to me. From Kid’s vessel the Victoria Punk.
Fuck, no!
Blazing with fury, I hauled myself aboard anyways. “Damn you Kid, you fucking idiot!” I stood on the ship’s deck soaking wet, shaking off the crew member trying to offer me a towel. “When are you going to learn how to steer this fucking monstrosity you call a ship?”
He scowled at me and snapped, “Watch your damn mouth ‘bout my ship; not my fucking fault that shitty dinghy of yours got in my way.”
“Captain,” one of his crew cut in. “The Marines are closing in; we need to set sail now.”
“Hold it,” I snapped. “I’m not sailing anywhere with you morons; drop me off somewhere I can get a new ship since someone doesn’t know how to steer a toy boat let alone this freakshow.”
“Look princess,” Kid snarled at me. “We’ve got a fuck-ton of Marines and an Admiral on our asses. I’m not risking my ship and crew to please your pretty little ass. You can stay aboard, or you can jump ship here and take your chances with the Marines, your choice.”
Some choice: I’ve got a bounty on my head and no crew to watch my back. And you know that, you asshole, we’ve run into each other enough for you to figure that out.
So, I cursed and said, “Fine, I guess I can tolerate you bunch of numbskulls for a few days.”
We scrambled to get away from the Marines for the rest of the day; at nightfall we were safe far out at sea and about to drop to the deck with exhaustion. I leaned against the main mast to catch my breath, clothes still wet and clinging to me.
Damn these things are chafing me so fucking bad, I’m surprised I’m not rubbed raw yet. And I’m starting to get chilled from the sea wind.
“Go below and get out of those wet clothes before you catch a cold,” Kid told me, tone oddly gentle towards me for once.
“And change into what?” I snipped, still irritated with him and the whole ridiculous situation I was in. “My clothes sunk with my boat, along with the rest of my belongings. All I’ve got is what I’m wearing, and there’s no way in hell I’m going around without clothes on.”
“Oh, right.” He studied my body a minute, sizing me up and not taking the bait for another argument. “Killer might have something to spare; you look about his size. Go ask him.”
I stalked off grumbling, determined not to let his sudden mild manner disarm me.
Great, I’m stuck on a ship with that asshole of an Alpha and no suppressors. The last one I took will only last another week and then- no; I’ll get off before then I’m sure.
Killer did have some cast-offs he didn’t mind loaning to me, and even let me use his room to change in. Even guarded the door for me to keep any of the crew from peeking at me.
Nice to know someone on this crew isn’t a jackass.
The question of where to bunk me was trickier to answer; I took one look at the crew’s quarters and absolutely refused to sleep without a door or wall between me and all those men who sized me up hungrily. I settled with having a hammock slung up with a spare storeroom.
I’ll get out of here soon, I’m sure of it.
Except I didn’t. After all that went down on the Archipelago and later with the War of the Best the Marines were out in force rooting out pirates left and right. Two weeks went by in a blur of relentless battle and fleeing, throwing Kid and I closer together than I ever wanted to be. I had to grudgingly admit that he made a good captain; he had the charisma of a natural leader and had the well-being of his crew as his highest priority.
He’s an Alpha, I told myself again and again. A proud stubborn arrogant Alpha, and I refuse to let him too close to me. God why does his scent have to smell so good?
The proximity to him and his space made me recognize the subtilties of his scent; the tang of metal and sea-salt along with the rust, the mellower scent of oil under it, how earthy that musk was to communicate his virility.
It’s enough to drive me crazy right now with the suppressor still in my system. If my heat kicks it around that I don’t think I’ll be able to resist him. Fuck no, I can’t go through that again!
The idea made me sick yet aroused me at the same time, making me lie awake at night trying to decide which I really wanted. In the end, I had to decide a lot faster than I ever expected.
I was heading for the galley one evening when I felt the warning stab in my lower stomach.
Shit!
The pain spread through my body so fast I nearly screamed in shock, doubling over.
Fuck, it’s so much worse than last time!
My body seemed to kick into overdrive after being on those suppressors for so long; I was coated in sweat in a matter of seconds and there was that tell-tale wetness between my legs.
I’ve got to get to my room- the door doesn’t have a lock. I’ll barricade it then; anything would be better than letting any of those Alphas anywhere near me when it’s this bad.
I turned around and began to walk for my room, using the wall for support when my legs began to weaken trying to ignore the many scents of Alpha floating around me.
Come on, keep it up just a little bit longer- oh fuck!
That scent struck me like a slug to the gut, hot metal, smooth oil, and that virile earthy musk. It seemed to throb hot and heavy on my skin like the touch of a warm rough hand on my skin, making my core twist up with desire.
Oh, fuck no not you! Not now!
“Hey princess there you are.” Kid closed in on me before I could make any move to avoid him. “You not coming to eat? Cook rang the bell ten minutes ago.”
“Ah, n-no, I’m n-not that- that hungry,” I stammered, trying not to tremble under his gaze. “I was just going to- to lie down for a bit-.”
He leaned in on me, eyes narrowed as he studied my condition closer. “You look feverish; maybe you should get the doc to take a look at ya.”
“That- that’s not- not necessary.” I tried to push past him. “I’m- aah!” My knees gave out on me; I crumpled like a ragdoll.
“Hey!” Kid caught me, keeping me upright against the wall. “Uh huh, nice try princess but I know something’s up with you. That pirate that mobbed you in the last fight probably gave you something; let’s get you to the infirmary-.” He leaned in to pick me up, then froze. “That scent.”
I cringed, feebly struggling to get out of his hold.
Oh God no he’s figuring it out! I’ve got to get away!
He ignored my struggled and scented me through my hair. “Like strawberries, so sweet.”
“It- it’s a new perfume,” I tried to lie, squirming under the thrill of pleasure on my neck determined not to let it get to me. “I- I just figure I- I could-.”
“Bullshit.” Kid pressed into me, pinning me between the wall and his solid body to make me stay still in his hold for a moment.
Strong powerful body made to take and dominate me- fuck stop it!
“It’s been two weeks since we’ve hit an island, and all your stuff got sunk before you came aboard. No way in hell you just happened to have a bottle of perfume that you just happened to never use until just now. Plus.” He hitched his hips into my pelvis, digging his hard-on into me. “No perfume could do this to me. You’re an Omega, aren’t you?”
“Yes,” I admitted, unable to lie under his intense gaze.
“I see.” He gave a nod, suspicions confirmed. “You’ve been using suppressors, right? That’s why I never noticed before; how long have you been using them?”
“O-over three- three years.” I panted, then convulsed; the pain was turning into hot knives shoved into my gut.
He held me steady against himself, hold unusually gentle. “Damn; this is only going to get worse for you. You need help-.”
Help, like those two ‘helped’ me? I don’t think so!
“N-no, I’ll be fine.” I tried to shove him off of me, but all I managed to do was push him back a little. “I’ll ride it out in my room- I can- aah!” I sagged farther down, nearly sobbing at the way the way my gut twisted harder.
Kid tightened his hold on me, saying my name softly. “Don’t do this to yourself, I can help-.”
“I don’t want your fucking help!” I spat at him. “I won’t let some Alpha touch me- I can’t! Not- not again, not ever again.” I felt hot tears on my cheeks and wiped them away, struggling against his hold again. “Please, I can’t do this again. Just let me go!”
Kid caught my chin, making me look at him. “Can’t do what?” His eyes were gentle for once, hand firm but not hard. “Talk to me; I just want to help you.”
“Like they helped me?” The words spilled out of me before I could think. “Pinning me down in- in the ruins of my home a-and- and forcing t-their way in over and over and over-!” Tears spilled down my cheeks, and I covered my face to hide them.
Kid whispered my name softly, stroking my hair to calm me. “Someone raped you?”
Keeping my face covered, I nodded. “It- it happened during me- my first heat. Pirates ransacked my village. T-two Alphas f-found me a-and-.” I shook my head curling inside myself.
I could still hear the way they laughed when I screamed for mercy, the way they mocked me every time I begged them to just stop, how they nearly ripped me open from pulling out too early, all the bruises and cuts they left on me when they finally left.
He swore softly, cradling me. “If I ever run into those bastards, I’ll murder them; scum like that doesn’t deserve to live let alone as Alphas.”
“What- what do you mean by that?” I asked, getting myself under control by breathing in his scent slow and steady.
“Any Alpha worth his salt knows how to treat and Omega right, and more importantly wants to care for them.” He pressed his forehead to mine, making me meet his eyes. “Just like I want to take care of you; no claiming, no forcing you into anything you don’t want, just making the pain a little easier to bear.” He slid his hands up my arms, touch incredibly gentle. “I know I can be a jackass and a prick, but I know how to be gentle too. You don’t have to be afraid of me.”
I quivered under his touch, pain radiating through my body to my core hot and tight.
God to just be taken care of for once, to have someone treat me kindly- fuck I can’t do this he smells so good and he’s treating me so gently.
So I leaned into his warm solid body, tucking my face in his neck to scent him better. “Alpha,” I whimpered. “Please.”
He tipped my face up and kissed me. Soft, gentle, but easily charming my mouth open to slide his tongue in to map out my mouth for a moment.
Oh! Oh, fuck yes! I need this so badly.
Moaning into it needily, I reached up to cling to his broad shoulders.
Kid’s lips quirked into a small smile, then he pulled away despite my whimpers. “Come on sweet, let’s take this somewhere a little more private.” He picked me up princess style and headed for his private room.
He’s so strong, I’ll bet I don’t weigh more than a feather to him. Why is that so damn hot?
I nuzzled his neck with a soft hum, his scent easing the pain but making me even hornier as a result. “Mm, Kid-.”
“You can call me Eustass,” he said, nudging his door open with a light kick.
“O-okay, Eustass.” It felt weird, calling him that, but it felt nice too. Intimate, in a way.
He smiled at me, setting me down on his bed. “See, not so bad, eh? Let’s get these clothes off ya first, okay?” He began to unbutton the borrowed shirt I wore, pressing soft kisses to my neck.
Sighing with pleasure, I relaxed under his touch and reached up to undo the clasps holding his cloak in place, letting it fall to the floor.
He feels so warm and solid, I want him on top of me already, but I appreciate how slow he’s taking things with me.
We stripped each other down, then he got me to lay out on my back in the middle of his bed, legs spread to accommodate him. “I’m going to go as gently as I can,” he told me, kneeling between my legs. “If you need me to slow down to stop just tell me, okay?”
“Okay.” I tried not to tremble from the pain and trepidation at the size of him.
He might even be bigger than those two ever were- oh!
Rather than putting his cock into me, he slid two fingers into me, curling them to stoke me in a beckoning gesture.
I bucked into him, the jolt of pleasure racing through my core as he found a tender spot.
“Easy now, sweet.” He placed his other hand on my hip firmly, getting me to still for him. “Just be patient; this’ll feel good you’ll see just trust in me.” He continued to stroke and circle my sex, finding all those tender spots I didn’t know existed, until I was reduced to a whining mess.
“Eustass- Alpha, a-aah fuck I- I’m getting so close- no!”
He pulled away, raising his glistening fingers to suck them off.
I bucked in protest, whining his name desperate to reach that tantalizing peak.
“Shh, I know sweet, I know.” He moved to kneel closer to me, getting my to wrap my legs around his hips so that his cock pressed against my sex. “I’ve got a better way to satisfy you; I won’t leave ya hanging I promise.” He began to enter me, using relaxed thrusts to enter me fully.
My walls burned in the effort to stretch around him, transmitting into a tension in my core that made me whimper. “Eustass, ah God you’re so big! Feels so- so good- ah yes!”
Pausing a moment to let me adjust, Eustass pulled out to slam back into me, nailing my most tender parts with a firm smack.
“Aah fuck Eustass!” I arched, legs clamping around his hips as my core convulsed.
“You’re so fucking tight and soft, princess,” he groaned, shifting to hover over me forearms braced on the bed to give him the leverage needed to move hard and fast into me, hips smacking into mine. “You feel so good, sweet, fuck yes!”
I clung to him tighter, nails raking over his back under the intensity of it all. “Fuck Eustass yes! Don’t stop, please don’t stop! It feels so good- I’m getting so- so close- aah!”
He leaned in to nip at my swollen gland, growling my name softly. “Stop? Oh, I don’t think so sweet. You’re just too nice and tight for me to stop now- fuck yeah keep clawing me up like that!” His back arched under my raking nails, growls and curses mingling together.
My core twisted, tension mounting even higher in a strained knot, and I clung to his tighter keening louder. “E-Eustass! Please- I’m so damn close- fuck yes!” The tension snapped without warning; I arched and screamed as the heat rushed through my body.
“That’s it my sweet,” Eustass panted in my ear, driving into me deeper and harder. “You feel so good coming around my cock like that, so tight!” His knot began to form, rubbing my walls in a way that made them blaze with pleasure.
“Alpha,” I whimpered, digging my nails into his back again as I arched into him. “Oh fuck yes your knot feels so good! Please knot me- mph!”
He kissed me harder, teeth nipping at my bottom lip. “Trust me, my sweet, I’m going to knot you as many times as you can stand it.” He sucked on my gland again, breathing reduced to ragged gasps. “Going to make you feel so damn good, little Omega- fuck so tight!” His knot swelled, so close to full size my walls burned as he thrust back into me.
“A-aah, Alpha please!” I cried out, shuddering with the tension. “I’m so close- ah Eustass!”
Finally, his knot popped deep inside me, making me come with him screaming his name. He moaned; face buried in my neck as he shuddered with pleasure. Then he shifted, keeping me close to him as he laid down on his side. “There, now we can rest in comfort.” He nuzzled my gland. “Doing all right there sweet?”
“Hmm, just fine Alpha.” I snuggled against his big muscular body, enjoying how he wrapped himself around me protectively on instinct. “If I knew it could be that good, I wouldn’t have gone suppressors in the first place.”
“You did what you had to in order to survive, don’t beat yourself up over your choices.” He gave me a gentle kiss, stroking my hair out of my face. “And if you feel that you need to go back on them, know that I’ll understand and respect that decision.”
He’s so damn considerate under all that jackass attitude, it’s sweet really.
I hugged him tighter to me. “As long as I have you, I won’t need any suppressors.”
“Then you have me, sweet.” He kissed my forehead and settle down to sleep. “That I promise.”
I settled down with him, smiling.
Okay, maybe not all Alphas are all that horrible.
