The cool air burned your lungs as you tried to keep pace in the freshly fallen snow. The distant sounds of a growling animal kept you running. You had only seen it briefly but it didn't look right. The beast sounded like a canine of some sort but ran on two legs mostly. You cursed as you tripped over another branch. As you recounted the events that led you here, you wondered if this discovery was worth it.

As you slipped into what seemed to be an abandoned shack you breathed heavily and remembered what had brought you here. You were a young botanist studying rare and unusual plants, living your boring life and only spending if it was absolutely necessary. So when the rest of your class booked a field research trip somewhere in Romania, you passed. That was until you heard tales of a man from your class coming back with missing limbs and strange accelerated growths all over his body.

You were able to visit the boy briefly and while there you sneakily collected samples from his clothes and one of the puss filled growths on what was left of his leg. The sight was frightful to say the least but the wounds were strange and when he was admitted he was screaming of a man like beast that tore his limbs off.

When you had looked at the samples under the lense you saw strange fungus-like strands, but they were moving quickly. It was unlike anything you had ever seen. Another sample had a strange pollen in the mix that practically glowed under the lense of your microscope.

After gathering information from your other classmates that had gone on the trip. They said this boy, Jacob, had gotten a tip about strange flora that exists in a very traditional town a few miles into the woods. Jacob being a sure young alpha he took the lead. He hadn't even made it into the town before he was ambushed by something.

So now as you grabbed a kitchen knife off the abandoned old counter top you thought you would end up just like Jacob if not worse. This was really not your day. You had paid for the cheapest housing when arriving in Romania, a hostel that had many other young guests and when you had come back from exploring the day before you were missing quite a few things, including your suppressants. You should have gone home then but you had already wasted the money and time so you figured this was the best option. As your stress was consuming you and you sunk to the floor holding the kitchen knife you decided this was a bad decision.

The growling was getting closer. Your heartbeat quickened and you wondered how anyone was living in this town. Judging by the state of this shack, there weren't many people. Suddenly there was a loud thud on the ground and the sounds of a whimpering dog. You sneaked a peak out of the old broken window and saw a man in a trench coat approaching the manlike beast that had been chasing you.

"Get out of here! It's too close to town!" He barked at the beast. "Mother Miranda would be displeased if we had another incident so close to the last." He growled barring sharp teeth at the beast.

The creature whimpered and fled from the area. You quickly ducked back down before the beast wrangling man could see you. Once he left you stumbled from the shack and started to follow the direction in which the man was going and eventually you stumbled into the town. It was quiet and the people who lived here dressed very out of date and in mostly black or beige, almost as if they were all mourning.

You were exhausted and trembling. A couple passing you smelled your scent and quickly rushed past you and into their house. You thought it was very weird but tried to shrug it off. Though as you tried to ask everyone for help they just walked away. That was until a delicate hand rested on your shoulder. It was a girl, no older than sixteen you suspected. Her ash brown hair tied back in a ponytail and she wore the same style of clothes as everyone else here.

"Miss, I think I can take you to someone who can help you." She spoke softly and you turned to her.

"Yes please, I just need directions to the local inn." You ask, your throat still raw from your run.

"I'm afraid we don't have an inn, but I know somewhere you can stay." She smiled.

"Okay lead the way...uhm…" you say awkwardly as the girl never gave you her name.

"It's Elena, now please hurry, it'll be dark soon." She said with more urgency.

You followed the girl through town. Many people ducked away from you and Elena herself seemed tense. As you passed by a long field and crept closer to a large estate on the hill you decided to ask a question.

"Where are you taking me?" You ask.

"To Luiza. She's a kind woman and will take you in for the night. It's never safe to be out after dark." Elena explained.

If the beast in the forest was any indication it wasn't safe during daylight hours either. She walked you up the stairs of the old building and gently knocked her pale fingers against the old wood. A few moments later the door opened. A woman dressed in all black with her hair up in a tidy bun greeted you.

"Elena! How are you, child? How can I help you this evening?" She asked as she eyed the stranger.

"I found this traveler on the path into town. She's seeking a place to stay for the evening." Elena explained and the other woman's features softened more as she looked you over.

"Alright my dear why don't you come in." She said and you step inside looking at the old building and some photos on the wall.

While you busied yourself with an old album on the entry table, Luiza took Elena to the side and began to speak with her in a hushed tone. You were tempted to eavesdrop but you really wanted to stay the night so you played innocent.

"Elena my dear. You are too good for this world. That girl would be dead by sunrise if you hadn't brought her." Luiza whispered, but there was an anxiety in her tone.

"I know, I didn't know where else to turn. Between the lycans and her, I was afraid for her." Elena said her head down. "You don't think Mother Miranda will punish us do you?" She asked.

"Mother Miranda is a forgiving God, but it may be best to see the girl leave in the morning. As for tonight you should go home to your Papa and make sure you wash the scent off well." Luiza explained and Elena nodded before taking her leave.

Luiza sighed as she watched the girl leave and she wrung her hands together nervously. There hadn't been an omega in this village in a very long time. Between sickness, the maiden's of Dimitrescu and the cleanses most everyone left was a beta. She took in a deep breath and headed back over to the woman in her hall.

"So may I have your name miss?" Luiza asks you.

"Oh yes it's Y/N." You explain.

"Well Y/N it is very nice to make your acquaintance but I must be frank with you, I only have space for you for one night." Luiza explained and you nod.

"That's fine, I'll be gone before breakfast." You reply, maybe you find enough samples tomorrow and hurry back to the other town before tomorrow night.

"Speaking of food, are you hungry? I have some stew from my supper left over." Luiza said with a smile as she headed towards what you assumed was the kitchen. You were going to protest and just call it a night but your stomach betrayed you as it growled.

After your tense meal in Luiza's kitchen you decide to head straight to bed. This whole town seemed wary of you. Though as you had traveled through the town not a single scent had bothered you. You thought maybe having an omega around was just stressful for these betas that most likely ran this place.

°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°

You had a hard time sleeping with the sounds of distant howls but you managed to squeeze a few hours in. You kept to your promise leaving Luiza's home around the crack of dawn. You rummaged through your bag making sure you had everything you needed for the day. The knife from yesterday is still in the messenger bag. You sighed as you closed the bag, hopefully you wouldn't need the knife but you kept it just in case.

The village had an intense fog in the early morning. Between the cool moist air and the freshly fallen snow you could really tell autumn was ending and winter was practically stomping her into submission. You sigh hoping there was still enough of this strange plant to even investigate, considering the frost that sat atop everything.

As you make your way through the ghostly fog you stop as you see a caravan posted near the town statue. You blink and rub your eyes to make sure it's truly there before approaching. You get closer and there is a soft orange glow coming from inside the caravan. Right as you reach the back of the cart the doors open and a very large man sits up to greet you.

"Hello how may I be of- oh my you're a new traveler aren't you?" The humongous man asked. You blink again and decide to speak.

"Uh yes I am. And who are you?" You ask.

"Well my dear lady I am a traveling merchant in these parts. Most call me The Duke. I'm quite reliable and have just about everything you may need on your journey." He explained.

You looked his cart over, you saw food, weapons, ammunition, medical salves and fluid. Besides the first aid supplies nothing seemed of too much interest. So you were about to just wish the large man a good day when a thought crossed your mind. You blush and sighed at the embarrassing question you were about to ask.

"Do you by chance have any heat suppressants?" You ask and the Duke's eyes soften.

"I'm afraid not my dear. I am truly sorry. There just hasn't been someone like you in a great deal of time." He explained.

"Figures. Just my luck." You sigh.

"Is there anything else I could help you with?" The Duke asks.

"Unless you can point me in the direction of a strange fungus or glowing flower I don't think so." You say with a huff.

"Actually…" The Duke bit his lip. You seemed capable and if you just got what you needed then maybe you could leave and be fine. "If you head to the outskirts there is a private graveyard. Some strange flowers grow there. But please don't smell them and whatever you do. Do not go near the house by the falls." The Duke explained.

"Okay?" You say looking up at the large man. "Will do. Thanks I guess?" You say.

The Duke waves to you as you leave on the right path. You take his directions seriously and eventually you end up in a small graveyard. You look around examining the flora, all pretty standard for this part of Romania. Then you see it, by a large grave in the center. Orange flowers that almost looked like a cross between a carnation and dandy-lion. The sunlight streaming through the fog and branches revealed the glittering pollen of the flowers.

You take out some sample bags and your scissors, being very careful to not breathe in as you snip the stems and place the peculiar flowers into their bags. You collect some moss samples from around the grave as well but as you're placing it away you hear footsteps coming down the dirt road. You put your things away and quickly hide behind a headstone. You had no reason to fear a normal villager but it was strange just snooping around in a graveyard.

You peek over the grave and see what looks to be a small person in a white dress walking along, behind the small person there is a mourner. A woman dressed in all black with a thick lace veil. She approached the large grave in the center and sat on top of the memorial plate. The smaller person which you now recognized as a marionette danced around the veiled woman.

"What a perfect day to visit Claudia. Don't you think Angie?" The woman spoke so softly it was almost a whisper.

"The fog is thick and it smells weird!" The marionette complained in a shrill voice.

"Hmm." The veiled woman hummed and began to look around.

"You're right Donna, it seems we have an audience today!" Angie said as she started to come closer to the grave you were hiding behind. "Sheeeeee's heeeerrrreee!" The doll yelled and then began to cackle. You held your breath and sat paralyzed. The veiled woman stood and came closer.

You were frozen and terrified but as you sat and tried to stay hidden suddenly one of those strange flowers sprouted beside you. You gasp as the flower shakes and sprays you with its glittering pollen. You cough and suddenly you're back in your school. You rub your eyes as you're stunned. As you look down the hall you see the veiled woman crossing in front of you.

"Hey you! Wait!" You shout and follow in the direction the woman fled. Next you see the doll laughing at the end of the hall.

"Hey you're pretty, why don't you come play!" The doll says and you frown and charge the doll. The doll gives chase and you try to keep up. "Be careful and watch your step!" She cackles.

You look down and see a dirt road underneath you. You remember what the Duke had said to you and you stop suddenly. Your vision clears and you are staring at a large drop off, the waterfall loud as you look down at the river it's spilling into. To your right you see the doll standing with the veiled woman on the porch of an old house.

"No fun, she didn't jump!" The doll whines like a child. "Well that's fine, why don't you come inside to play!" She continues and laughs.

"Fuck you!" You yell and turn around and begin running back towards town.

Though you're still a little disoriented and take a wrong turn running into the forest the sound of the doll laughing in the distance. You realize you went the wrong direction as you see an old mill and wooden staircase. You sigh and catch your breath as you try to figure out which direction the town is in. As you turn around you hear a growl from the staircase. You see what looks like a man standing at the top. His clothes are practically rags hanging off of him and he is filthy. You stare and slowly start to back up when the man lifts his head up and howls. You trip over a rock startled by the wolflike howl.

Looking up the staircase you see more of the creatures begin to gather and you scramble to your feet. You take the knife from your bag and look up again. The first creature sniffs the air, no doubt smelling your fearful omega scent as your heart races. He growls and whines rubbing his nose and the others smell as well. A few of the larger creatures growl at each other and begin pushing each other around as they begin to run down the stairs towards you. The larger ones push the smaller ones back and it's then your blood runs cold.

These monsters, the ones getting closest faster are Alphas. Your breathing catches and you run as fast as you can away. You don't know where to go, you don't want to lead these beasts towards town. You think of Elena and Luiza as you take a right turn. You spot smoke and just keep running towards it as a large factory comes into sight. There was a large fence around the perimeter but you spot a hole, a hole just big enough to slip through. The growls are getting closer and your legs are growing weaker as you push yourself. The overwhelming situation is making you stressed and you can already feel your omega instincts taking over as the want to lie there and submit is becoming harder to fight.

Pushing past the metal fence you slice your hand and arm, the cut wire snagging your jacket and trapping you. You shrug the jacket off and continue to run watching as the beasts tear the jacket to pieces while trying to smell it. You're almost to the factory steps when someone drops down from a tower behind you. You bang on the door trying to get in when suddenly something shocks you and you finally pass out.

Heisenberg stands over your body, holding a cattle prod in his hand. He looks over the intruder and sees it's a young woman, your hair falling from it's tie and laying over your face, your lashes dark as they gently flutter in your sleep. He stares for a moment before huffing. He notices your bag and grabs it, he opens it and finds your plant samples. He growls at the evidence, he'd need to question you now. Though while looking over your form he thinks maybe he should keep this to himself. Effortlessly he picks you up and tosses you over his shoulder as he makes his way into his factory.

°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°

You wake up sitting in a metal chair your hands chained above your head, the chain attached to a hook in the ceiling. You struggle with the restraints and the chains clatter as you try and get yourself unhooked. You look around the room, it's cluttered and filled with strange metal projects, other than that there is very little furniture in the room. Just a dresser and a bed on a sturdy looking metal frame.

The room smells distantly of an alpha and cigars. You whine as your body warms at the scent. You had to get out of here, and soon or you'd be in a different kind of trouble. You went back to struggling against the chains. The clanking noises alerting your captor as he made his way to the room. He opened the door and even behind his circular shades you could feel his gaze.

"Well well, look who's finally awake." He said gruffly as he came closer. Suddenly the chair flung out from under you and you gasped as the chains caught you.

With his gloved hand he grabbed your chin and forced you to look up at him. The smell of this alpha made your legs clench together but you still fought yanking your head out of his grip. He growled and smacked you across the face. You yelp but can feel as slick begins to embarrassingly slip out of you. He chuckled darkly at the scent that attacked his nostrils, but he was a strong alpha he could resist.

"So, you wanna tell me what you're doing here?" He asked as he grabbed a cigar from his shirt pocket and lit it.

"Let me go! I'm just a tourist!" You yell, your voice pleading more than you'd like.

"Oh really?" He questions as he takes a drag from the cigar, the tip flickering a deep orange as the ash falls to the floor. "Then what about this?" He asks as he holds your sample bags up.

"That's just…" You tried to make excuses.

"Just samples? Yes and what are you hoping to find with these?" He asks.

"I don't know what I'm trying to find. Something new, something good, I just want to discover something." You sigh shakily. Even though you were an intelligent aspiring botanist it was hard to get recognition as an omega. Society expected you to stay at home and have pups, not to be a highly intelligent scientist.

"I don't buy it. You come to this specific place and you're just trying to sample fun flowers and moss. I don't think so." He growled and you felt the chains around your wrists tighten.

"Please, that's all. Just let me go. I'll leave and never say a word." You beg. "I need to leave soon." You stress.

"More and more strange scientists or bsaa agents show up in town. You all are getting in the way of my plans!" He growled ignoring you.

"Please…" You whimper.

The alpha growls at you and you whine again. You can feel your body heating up at his presence and your instincts starting fully clog your senses. You pull against the restraints again this time trying desperately to hold yourself up. You had been on supressants for a while, being off of them was causing your body to fall very quickly into a heat. You needed to act and fast, maybe if you appealed to the alpha you could escape before your next round started. The thought both disgusted you and aroused you.

"Please… Alpha… you must understand by now what's happening to me. I promise, I'm just a student, in a bad set of circumstances please." You begged and began to let your body pump out as much of your scent as possible. The alpha breathes in and is snared in your trap. He growls and rubs his nose as he gets in your space again and you gasp as he presses his nose to your scent gland. "Mmm been a while huh? Some one in town mentioned there hasn't been an omega in a long time." You say as you let a soft moan escape your lips when he licks your neck.

"Never smelled one alive before." He grumbles and the statement scares and thrills you.

"I bet you want me then." You say shakily and he grabs your hips.

He begins to pull you off the hook, taking your restraints off until just metal cuffs hang on your wrists. This is your last chance, to escape before your inner omega ruins everything. You knee the alpha in the groin and run for the door. He groans but in seconds you are yanked back by the metal on your wrists. You were truly begining to understand this alpha's strange inhuman abilities as you float off the ground and are yanked towards him.

"Thought you could get away that easy huh sweetheart?" He says through gritted teeth.

You can't even respond as you are thrown onto the bed in the room. You try to scramble away but he's on you in an instant. You close your eyes and hear a rip as he tears your shirt open and begins kissing and biting your neck and chest. He pushes your bra down forcibly and your breasts bounce with the force. He growls and continues to leave marks. You thrash trying to escape but your body is beginning to react to the alpha's touch.

The alpha yanks your pants and underwear down and you whine as you feel the strings of slick attached to your panties. He smirks at you and flips you onto your stomach, your arms move and suddenly your cuffs are attached to the metal bed frame. You pull against it but he pulls your hips up.

"Please… don't, I'm sorry." You whine.

"Too late now darlin' and lets be honest. You want me now." He says before smacking your ass.

You gasp and it turns into a moan as he shoves two fingers into your willing and wet warmth. You can't stop your instincts now as you push your hips back onto his digits. He curls his finger and you moan again. The warmth of your heat finally consuming you.

"Ahh more!" You moan and receive another hard slap to your plump ass. He growls behind you and pushes a third finger inside you.

"Such a needy wet slut." He says as he pushes the fingers deeper and more slick slushes out of you.

"Please alpha please." You moan, your body was too hot and everything was so loud and bright. It was all becoming too overstimulating.

"You want my knot huh? Where's that fighting spirit from earlier hmm?" He chuckles behind you and you full body blush at his words.

You felt pathetic, your own biology making you want this rough stranger to plow you. It was horrible and embarassing but you knew if your body kept heating up like this, you may not survive. So you wiggle your hips trying to entice the alpha. Not that he needed much convincing since your scent was thick and sweet in the room. You hear shuffling behind you as he stripped down. He grabbed your hips and his large alphan cock rested against you. It felt huge, way bigger than any other alpha you had been with. Then again no other alpha was a strange metalmancer in a creepy village so maybe that could explain it. You rocked your hips against him and he dug his claws into the soft skin on your hips. You shudder and moan and you feel more liquid drip out of you and down your thighs.

"Now be a good girl and take my cock." He says darkly and you hardly get the chance to ready yourself before he plunges his thick member into you all at once.

You scream and shake as he takes you. The heady smell of the alpha swirling through the room. Your senses were overhwlemed with the whiskey, smoke, and copper smell. You gasp and cough at his scent but you're still drooling. He ruts his hips forward once and you're coming already.

"Fuck fuck!" You curse as more slick and cum courses out of you and around the cock that is stretching you to your limit.

"Cumming already? Wow you really are just some omega slut." He says shakily and you whimper against the mattress. "Well buckle up buttercup. We're only just starting." He says and then begins a brutal pace in an out of you.

The sounds of skin slapping on skin as well as your combined noises fill the room as you are taken roughly. Drool runs down your chin and smears against your cheek as you're rocked forward with every harsh thrust. Your mind is drifting as if you're floating away from the scene, you just feel every bit of it. The feeling of his thick and heavy alphan cock dragging hotly against your inner walls. His claws dragging down your sides and digging deeply into your hips, hard enough to draw blood. You don't know how many times your body has cum but you don't care as you feel the alpha's knot swelling. The swollen knot having more and more trouble coming out. You cry out when the alpha sinks his knot in for the final time. You feel like he's ripping you apart but you rock back on his knot as he finally blows his hot load inside you. He practically howls as he fills you. He paints your insides and you feel your stomach cramping with the heavy amount of cum being pushed inside you.

He ruts against you riding out his orgasm. He bends over you and growls against your neck, licking along your mating gland. You tense and come to your senses trying to get away again. The attempt ending in vain of course as you're still bound. You scream when the alpha sinks his large canines into your neck mating you. A single tear rolls down your cheek and your body stills.

He bends the metal again and releases you from your restraints but you don't fight him. You lay on your sides still bound by his knot. He sleeps behind you and you softly cry before passing out from the rough treatment.

When you wake, you are strangely clean and you are dressed in an oversized white shirt. You sit up and find one hand chained to the bed still, but the chain is long enough for you to sit up on the bed. You look around for your alpha. Your alpha. You whine at the thought and you hate to admit it but you'd need him soon when your heat awakens again. He walks into the room with a tray of food and a few glasses of water. You're confused as he sets it down on the bed in front of you.

"Here you'll need to eat." He says softly.

"What? Why are you being nice?" You question.

"Well you're mine now so I have to make sure you don't starve." He says.

You blush at the claim over you and you reach your hand up to feel your mating gland. There's gauze and medical tape over the wound. You smile softly and reach for the soup. Your hands shake and the alpha take the bowl holding the spoon up and blowing on the liquid before feeding you.

After your meal he lays down with you and you place your hand to his chest feeling his strange heart beat. You're feeling warm and comfortable but then you're struck with something and you blush darkly.

"What's your name?" You ask shyly. If he was your forced mate and captor than it might be nice to know his name.

"Karl… Karl Heisenberg." He says softly his eyes still closed

"I'm y/n." You reply and he makes a gruff noise in return.

Maybe after your heat, after gaining his trust you'd try and escape again but as you were looking over the strong, scarred alpha you were finding it harder to convince yourself that. You still had a lot of questions. Like why he had powers, or why the town was so frightened, or why there were no omegas here, but right now as your body warmed again you couldn't even think of asking. This was going to be a long journey, starting with this heat.
