Pandora's Gift

Chapter 39

The trip to the station was long, or so it felt long in the early morning hours. It was exactly as both parties expected. Their statements had to be taken. Explaining how the two had been out for a jog when she had been attacked out of nowhere. It was typical work, not much different than if they had been on patrol. Though they were not doing said paperwork in the comfort of their office on their own time but in the precinct instead. Sakaki liked it much better when she did her paperwork in the comfort of a hero agency instead.

She was well aware of the look the alpha police officer was giving her as she verbally recalled her side of the story. She had watched his eyes glance over her. Taking in the sight of her, an unmated omega out in the early morning with no scent blockers or protective collar on her neck. In clothes that belonged to an unmated alpha. She knew the look she was getting all too well. To this alpha before her she was seen as an idiot. An omega just flaunting herself. She had heard it all her life how at fault an omega should be for just simply trying to live their life. This was far from the first time she had seen or heard of an alpha victim shaming an omega. And it would not be the last. If anything she had to be mildly thankful the man had at least not vocalized his internal thoughts.

But then again maybe he would have had the blonde who stood beside her the entire time not snapped at him shortly after the looks had started. Of course Bakugou would notice something just as a scrutinizing look.

"What the hell are you looking at!" had been the bellow that had come from the blonde. It had been aimed at the man taking her reports but Bakugou had not kept his hard glare from spreading out to look around at all the eyes who had turned to look at him. Whether it was from the outburst or they were already looking she did not know.

"Don't," She had whispered to him as her right hand had reached out gently letting her fingers glance across a bicep as she drew his attention to her and she softly shook her head telling him not to bother. It was clear with the clench of his jaw and an almost visible pulse of a vein in his forehead he did not want to listen to her. And yet whether it was the look on her face or the soft scent she was attempting to give off, he actually listened to her.

Once her side of the story was taken Bakugou gave his recall of the encounter of how they had been running side by side. Only parting for a split second. He clearly had paused and pondered at that mention. He probably had the same internal question she did. Had the attack been planned? Had he been following them just waiting for the two of them to part enough for him to strike. Or had it just been random that the timing had worked out the way it had? After all, who would look at Bakugou and think that is an alpha worth fighting an omega for? She had been wearing his clothes and she knew after having fucked the night before their scents had to be clinging to one another. Even with her working a sweat and her own scent becoming stronger Bakugou's scent still mixed with hers and was unmissable. She remained quiet as she listened to the blonde say how he had heard the rather unattractive sound she had made when the man hit her. That had Bakugou hit the brake on his own run and had him turn on her attacker. Of course he kept to himself how he had seen red for a solid two seconds as he grabbed the man.

Bakugou had never wanted to kill someone so badly in those two split seconds. But Bakugou would never admit that or that he had nearly thought about snapping the man's neck for having attacked Sakaki. Instead he had been lucky enough to just restrain the man as soon as he had seen that the dark haired woman was completely unhurt. Well not completely, her elbows had a little road rash, and he was sure that her left shoulder hurt. It had hit the ground hard, she was lucky it was not dislocated. Bakugou was quick to give his statement not wishing to remain standing around on his day off in the police station.

Both hero's had grown tense while giving their statement, although Bakugou's little outburst had kept any snide comments from coming her way. It had not completely stopped the judgmental stares. Still it could have been so much worse for her. Funny how having a growling alpha beside an omega changes how one is treated. They barely made it three steps down the street before Bakugou spoke up. Which was surprising she did not expect him to remain so calm and collected for so long.
