Save me part 9

[krystalkatzfics]

Sho didn’t know what to expect when he entered the hospital room. His father had always been a proud traditional alpha. The pale thin old man on the bed was not the man he remembered. He had longed to return to pack Ninomiya over the years to make his peace with his father, but he had always put it off. They had always butted heads, ever since he presented as an alpha and Sho knew that it wasn’t all his father’s fault. He had been just as hard-headed and had been an emotional teen more so when his mother had passed, and he had seen how much Ayame doted on his youngest son. Akihiko. He had been a runty, sickly child Sho remembered thinking of the way the boy had stumbled after him as soon as he could walk his nose always running and drool sliding down his chin.

Pained breaths were the only sounds that filled the room with the scent of approaching death. His eyes moved to his nephew. He had known the boy was alive, his brother had sent him a letter gushing over how cute he was, Akihiko had tried to be a brother to him, even when he had left the pack. He hadn’t quite expected him to look like his mother or to be an omega or one that smelt of fear and pain. He wondered where his brother was and how his nephew had gotten into the condition, he was in. He opened his mouth to ask but snapped it closed again when he saw the way the omega flinched away from him.

He wished Masaki had been able to make the trip with him, his own omega would know what to say or do but Masaki was as big as a whale and twice as testy and the drive wouldn’t have been good for him or the pup he was carrying. Sho’s eyes went to his father again wondering if he would ever know that he had another grandpup on the way. The man hadn’t stirred since he had entered the room and looking at him, even though he wasn’t a medical man, he could tell that Ayame wouldn’t be leaving this room. He opened his mouth a few times, but no words came out and they stayed in silence until the other man, Ohno Satoshi, the paramedic cleared his throat thankfully speaking to break the awful tension in the air.

“Alpha Sakurai may I have a word?” The beta paramedic asked and Sho gave a nod getting up and moving away from the bed. He glanced at Kazunari again and the boy flinched backwards hiding his face in his knees as he hugged himself. The angle of his arms meant that the oversized shirt he was wearing moved down his arms revealing ugly bruises that seemed to be in the shape of fingerprints and he remembered what Satoshi had told him over the phone. Abuse. The idea of anyone harming his nephew made him sick and he wondered yet again what the hell had happened within Pack Ninomiya.

The alpha and beta slipped out of the room and closed the door with a small click. Sho let out a breath wishing he hadn’t quit smoking. He needed the soothing burn of nicotine right now, but Masaki would know and then he would be huffy pissed at him and there was no going back from that while he was a whirlwind of hormones and pent-up frustration. He dragged his fingers through his hair and then turned to look at the beta his eyes running over his face.

“What happened to my nephew?”

“I don’t know, at least not for certain, but I suspect that he has suffered a great deal of abuse. I also believe that he has been raped…”

“Raped? Who…”

“I’m sorry, I can’t answer. He did get distressed a few moments before you came and said that your father’s condition was his fault because he had sinned…”

“Sinned?”

 

“Was your father’s pack deeply religious? In the old belief?”

“No! Not at all, I mean, he was a bit strict but…My father adored my younger brother, doted on him, where is he anyway? He should be here…”

“I’m afraid that your brother is dead…Your father is in a confused state, but he mentioned that your brother was killed” The paramedic was careful but the thought that his brother was dead made Shos heart ache.

“Murdered? But…What has been happening? I am ashamed to say I stayed away from my father’s pack but…” Sho’s voice drifted as the door to his father’s room opened and Kazunari’s pale face peered out. “Kazunari?”

“…Alpha Ayame is awake…He wants to talk to you…He asked me to get him a drink” Kazunari whispered looking like a lost and confused little boy. For some reason Sho had the strongest urge to reach out and hug him but he was positive that the boy wouldn’t welcome the action. Kazunari ducked his head shyly and nervously then looked towards the paramedic asking very gently “Can you show me the vending machine?”

 

“Yes, this way” Satoshi answered, and the beta and omega walked off through the hospital. Sho watched them until they vanished around a corner and then he took a breath and walked back into his father’s room.

As Kazunari had said Ayame was awake but it was touch and go. His face was filled with pain and his eyes were sad sunken into his sockets as he looked up from the white pillows. The machine attached to his arm beeped a little more loudly as the coloured line jumped up and down.

“Hello, my son”

“Father…What happened? Akihiko…His pup…Father…” Sho stumbled his voice coming out like a broken child even though he tried to reign it back in. Ayame gave a smile that seemed to cause the pain to fall away from his face and the years to roll back. Under that gaze Sho felt like the child he had been before he had presented and before he and his father had argued.

“It is so good to see you again, Pup, I have dreamt of this day…” Ayame reached out a hand to him and automatically Sho reached to take it. Ayame’s hand had always been strong, the grip firm, but now even the smallest pressure was enough to hurt him. Still Sho was reminded of the times he would walk around the village after his father always running to catch up with him. Ayame laughing as he reached down to take his hand and walk a little slower. Tears he didn’t realise he was crying ran down his cheeks and Ayame’s head tilted slowly to one side before he smiled and squeezed his hand again. “Don’t cry for me pup, I’m not worth it. So many times, I have longed to see you again, to tell you that I was always proud of you…No matter how we fought I loved you. I lost Pack Ninomiya…Another alpha stronger than me…More brutal”

“Why didn’t you come to me sooner? I would have taken you…And Akihiko and his pup”

“There is much I need to tell you, I don’t have long but before I do, promise me…You will take Kazunari. Take him and hide him…He has suffered so much…He believes so much…Promise me…”

“He is my brother’s pup, he is family, my pack is always open to him but please, tell me, what happened…”

 

“I…Will start at the beginning…”

TBC

A/N: Sho thinks Satoshi is a Beta because of the suppressants he takes. He will stop taking them eventually but for his job he needs to have them as people don’t trust Alpha’s in caring roles…If anyone wants more information on the background of this universe I have a ton of ideas and info so please just ask XD The next part is a flash back In Ayame’s POV.

Cant wait to see what happened in the past

[gambitsfox]

I'm glad he can tell Sho what exactly happened because Nino is not saying much. This will help in making Nino whole again. They will know how to help him. I can tell Masaki will be like a protective mama to him.....If Nino will let him. He might see his stomach/pregnancy and flinch. Shos attitude will probably baffle him. 😊💙💛

Poor Sho it will be a lot what will be laid upon him from now on
