Run Free - Alpha!Ari Levinson x Omega!Reader

Chapter 2: I Know Places

Summary: As an Omega you knew your place in the world, however when the opportunity arrives to escape you take it... only to find yourself face to face with another Alpha

Warnings: Language! Light Angst! Fluff! Talk of Captive Situation

Your entire body felt like it was made of lead. Everything ached and your head was pounding. As you slowly woke up you could hear hushed whispers, you sighed trying to fall back asleep. It was only when you took a deep breath that the smell of an Alpha and Beta filled your nostrils.

Your memory flooded back to you. How you escaped from your captors. Made your way into town only to be found by another Alpha. Your rush to run away, your body not cooperating leaving you powerless.

You woke with a start your eyes instantly finding the Alpha from before stood beside another man who must have been the Beta you smelt, on the other side of the small room. They both jumped once they saw that you were awake and made their way over.

"Hey, hey it's okay you're safe we're not gonna hurt you" the Alpha says bending down beside you.

You pushed yourself away as much as you could on the small couch. You didn't trust him, every Alpha you'd ever met treated you like a piece of meat. How could this one be any different?

"My name is Ari, and this is my friend Sammy, he's a doctor," Ari says gesturing to his friend.

"I've treated the burns on your wrists and ankles, but I would like to take you to my clinic to check you out further" Sammy says making you look down and notice your wrists and ankles had been bandaged up.

"No," you say your voice wavering, you didn't trust these people, what if it was all an elaborate ruse to capture you?

"Please, you've clearly been through something horrible and we want to help, you can trust us I promise," Ari says gently.

You lock your eyes on him, you could feel your body relaxing. Unlike any other Alpha you'd encounter he didn't make your blood run cold in fear. Your inner wolf was screaming at you to trust him but you couldn't give in. You needed a chance to escape if you needed it, if this Alpha truly wanted to help you he wouldn't need anything to keep you captive.

"Take the collar off," you tell him.

"What?" He asks confused.

"The collar, it can only be taken off by an alpha or beta, it stops me from shifting, take it off and maybe I'll trust you" you explain.

"Only if you let us treat you properly, we don't have to go to the clinic if you don't want but somewhere cleaner than here" Sammy bargains.

"Hey this place is clean" Ari huffs glaring up at his friend.

You couldn't help but chuckle weakly at the exchange between the two friends. Ari looked back over at you with a warm lopsided smile that had your heart stuttering.

"Okay, deal" you agree nodding your head.

Ari smiles at you before carefully moving to remove the collar from your neck. With the shortening distance, you could smell his scent better. The scent of pine and grass fills your nostrils making you instantly relax. You mentally kicked yourself though, you had to keep your guard up. Once the collar was removed Ari threw it in the trash with disgust.

"Can I ask what your name is?" Sammy asks you gently.

You glance between the two men "Y/N" you tell them

"Okay Y/N, now are you comfortable coming to the clinic or would you prefer somewhere else?" Sammy asks you.

"Clinic will be fine" you say nodding your head gently.
