Chapter Text
The air was stale and thin, and the floor that Levi lay on, was cold enough that goosebumps were all over his skin. His head hurt, and when he tried to move, he found that his wrists were handcuffed together, and his ankles secured with a rope.
It was dark.
Fuck.
Who had done this to him? Frankly, Levi had no idea, and not because he’d not offended anyone. No, it was because he had offended way too many people, being a mercenary who worked for whoever was paying, from politicians to cops, to gangs, to the mafia, he had enemies all over the country, so one of them had managed to get the jump on him, huh?
He sighed and sat up. He smelled like shit. It wasn’t too bad, but for a neat freak like Levi, he couldn’t think of anything more calming right now than a warm bath. He shook his head, trying to think of what could have gotten him here, now of all times.
Whoever this was, must want information, but Levi had to first find out who this person or organisation was first before he made any deals at all.
He wondered what day it was, hoping to god it wasn’t Tuesday yet because he had an appointment at the abortion clinic and could not wait to be free of this burden that he was carrying. He was mildly annoyed that this person had inconvenienced him this much. If he waited another week, it would be past the 12-week limit for the termination of male pregnancies.
Shit. If only he hadn’t ignored the signs, thinking he had a stomach bug, when all the nausea had hit a few weeks ago, then he wouldn’t be in this situation. Or better yet, if only Zeke Yeager had exercised some fucking control when Levi’s heat had hit him unexpectedly that night.
The door opened, and Levi made sure to have his hardest scowl on when his captor entered the room. The scent was familiar but he couldn’t place it. It was someone he’d fought before. And an alpha. Standing in front of him, with no expression on her face, was a young woman with short dark hair. He recognised her immediately, and any thoughts of fighting his way out of there vanished.
”Fuck!” Levi cursed.
They called her Red, because of the red scarf that she always wore in contrast to the black of her clothes. She was the only other mercenary who had almost defeated Levi when they fought a few months ago, the first to injure him. He’d won, of course, but it had been at a cost. After that, he’d tried to find out who she worked for, but no one in the underground circles knew. She was an anomaly because she was an alpha, and only betas generally did the dirty work for their employers (as far as Levi knew, he was the only omega in this business) so the fact that she was an alpha, a very powerful one at that, working for someone else, meant that her boss had to be mad powerful.
And Levi was now caught in his claws.
Red threw a paper plate filled with rice and chicken at Levi’s feet. “Eat,” she said.
”Who are you working for?” He asked.
”Eat.”
”Who the fuck are you? What the hell do you want with me?”
”Eat.”
”My fucking hands are tied, you damn idiot,” Levi shouted at her. Damn it, his stomach was growling looking at the unappetising food. He hated that this stupid baby was making his body betray him.
Red blinked. “You can crawl, you don’t need your hands for eating,” she said.
Was this bitch telling him to grovel on the floor like a fucking dog?
”Fuck you! Who the fuck is holding me hostage right now? When my employers find out-“
”You don’t work for any one person. You have no loyalty, so you only work for the highest bidder. No one is looking for you,” Red said, stone-faced.
Damn it. His reputation preceded him. Of course, it did. “I want to speak to your boss. What does the son of a bitch want from me?”
Finally, he managed to elicit some emotion from her. She drew her knife, and pointed it straight at him, face twisted in anger. “Insult him again, and you lose your tongue!”
Levi pursed his lip and said nothing. Normally, he’d rile her up for his amusement, but he was fucking tired and his body ached. Man, being pregnant sucked. “Who is he?” Levi asked.
The girl deflated. “He’s coming later today. Eat your food.”
He ignored her. “Hey, what day is it today?”
”Monday,” she said, leaving.
Good. If he could give her boss whatever he wanted, Levi would be able to make his appointment tomorrow. He sighed and lay back down on the floor.
-
The door opened again two hours later, and Red entered followed by a young man. Immediately his scent filled the room, and Levi, whose nose had been sharper since the pregnancy, breathed it all in. Alpha. Unmated. The strongest alpha scent he’d ever felt. He smelt like grapefruit, a dual scent of sweet herbaceous orange that lured you in, accompanied by a nauseating bitter woody scent that had Levi shivering. This alpha was strong. Stronger than Zeke, stronger than Erwin, even stronger than Kenny. His dark hair was tied into a neat bun, but before Levi could even look at the man's face, that domineering scent weighed him down, and he found himself face down on his knees unable to look up.
"Holy shit, Mikasa! How can you treat a person like this?" A deep voice asked. Levi couldn't look up at him still.
"You said to bring him alive, you never specified what state," Red -Mikasa- said.
"Hmm. I thought they said he was the strongest omega ever lived, why's he crawling on the floor like a fucking lizard?" The alpha asked.
"It's your pheromones Eren. It's taking all my energy to even stand next to you, and I'm an alpha. It must be hell for an omega, Armin’s told you multiple times," Mikasa reminded him.
"Oh right. Well, look up, Omega, you may be a murderer but you're still a pregnant mother, and should be handled with some care."
At that, Levi finally reacted, suppressing his instinctual need to submit to this alpha in favour of his own shock and curiosity.
"Who are you?" He asked sharply, looking up at the alpha in front of him, only to find piercing green eyes staring down at him from a familiar face. He'd met this guy somewhere before, he just could not remember where.
So, how the hell did this stranger know about his pregnancy? No one else knew, except Zeke and Hange.
"Good afternoon, my name is Eren Yeager. I'm Zeke's younger brother." The man, no actually he was a kid, no more than 24 if Levi had to guess, said crouching down in front of him. Levi recognised him now, this was the kid who ran Liberio club, he'd seen him from time to time when Zeke asked to meet him there.
It was a good thing Eren had rescinded his pheromones because Levi was unsure if he would be able to breathe when he was this close to him. But Yeager huh? So that asshole's family had found out about his most recent fuck up huh? And now Levi was paying for that. Fuck, Zeke’s mother was a major billionaire, and if Zeke and Eren ran the criminal side of the business, then it was obvious that since Zeke had screwed up, Eren was here to clean up his mess.
In other words, Eren was here to get rid of him.
"Look, there's no need for any of this, okay? I don't want any claim of your mother's money, with this child. I already told Zeke, I'm getting rid of it, okay? If you let me go, I'll do the abortion tomorrow, so everything's-"
The pungent stench of bitter anger that oozed out of Eren’s body told Levi that he'd said the wrong thing and the violent slap that struck his cheek confirmed it. The green eyes turned bloodshot and for the first time in a long time, Levi felt fear.
"You would deny this child the freedom to be born into this world? Really? I thought I could reason with you, but you're clearly the worst kind of monster. Killing children is wrong!" Eren barked at him.
Levi's cheek burned from the impact of the slap. "It's just a fucking foetus, it doesn't even have a heartbeat yet! And me, a monster? You're the one who's got a pregnant man tied up in your...wherever the hell we are!"
"I had no choice. You tried to take away my nephew's freedom, so I'll take away yours." Eren's bloodshot eyes glinted in the darkness.
This motherfucker was insane, Levi decided. "I don't want a baby, Zeke doesn't want a baby. Neither of us are in any position to be parents, especially not together, not after all the shit that happened between us! Why the fuck would I bring a child into this world only for it to suffer?!"
Eren stood up. "Rest assured, I will make sure that Zeke is punished for what he did, our family takes sexual assault very seriously. He won't get away with it."
Levi blinked, "That's not what happened at all, he didn't assault me. I'm a hundred times stronger than that asshole, if he'd tried anything, I'd have straight killed him!"
But Eren shook his head, "It's okay, you don't have to cover for him. He can't hurt you anymore."
Was this kid even listening to him? "Look, I hate your brother, but that night, we both-"
But Eren was no longer listening, instead, he picked up the untouched plate of rice on the floor, "You haven't eaten all day. That's not good for the baby." He picked up the spoon, and put some food into it. He then brought it close to Levi's face. "Eat."
"Fuck you!" Levi spat
"Don't be stubborn, I'm not leaving until you eat."
"Well then, I guess you're going be sitting there for the next few weeks until I die, because I'm planning on starving myself to death with your fucking nephew, you shitty little brat!" Levi taunted.
He honestly expected Eren to get angry and lash out again, but to his surprise, Eren smiled. One would expect a smile on that beautiful face to light him up and make him look more endearing, but not this smile. It was a sinister dark thing that twisted his pretty face into a scary one, and Levi had to look away.
But Eren tipped his chin up, forcing him to look back at him. "Oh, my dear naive omega. You really think you can threaten me?" The voice with which he spoke was low, a whisper, deadly sweet. "Listen, my friend is a doctor, and it's not going to be hard for him to hook you up to machines, keep you sedated for the next six months, and you'll be getting good nutrients for you and the baby through an ng tube, you won't even be awake for it. And when the time comes, I'll cut that child out of your abdomen myself, and let you bleed to death."
A chill ran through Levi's spine as the alpha once again stood up. "You wouldn't dare!" But the look on his face said that he would.
"You have a choice, that option, or, you can tell me your favourite colour, your favourite food, and I'll buy you a bed, give you access to the bathroom, get you a TV, whatever you want, and you can wait out your pregnancy in relative peace," Eren told him. "Your stay here can be absolutely hell, or it can be bearable. Eat your food, and choose wisely. I'll send Mikasa for your answer tomorrow morning."
And just like that, with Mikasa in tow, the alpha left Levi a mess, a fucking wreck of a man on that floor. For the first time since his mother's death, Levi felt tears running down his cheeks.
