Withered but not Broken

Summary:

Dunk is a hidden Omega just trying to survive. He appears as a Beta and he likes it that way.

Unfortunately, survival gets complicated when one wrong choice flips everything. A black market deal, an Alpha, and a series of increasingly questionable decisions have entered the picture.

This is a story about identity, control, and the things people don’t say out loud. (okay.... OKAY it is ALSO smutty mcsmut smut)

This story contains chaos. You’ve been warned.…and also somehow we keep ending up in the bathroom.

Come read and leave feral comments.

Slower updates—this started out as a oneshot.

Notes:

...I'd say this is the first out of pocket thing I've written but that would be a liiiiie LOL this plot bunny has been bugging me for weeks! Ever since someone posted a picture on tiktok and asked what the fanfiction would be lol so this one is for BHABL you inspired this crazy rabbit so like.. totally blaming you! LOL

Other than that check content warnings I try to update when I add things I think might be more triggering but just be aware its on the darker side of things and non-con with non-con-con IS gonna be a thing. Updates might be slow I tend to write in bursts so beware! I also use some thai phrases and words because I can't really find the equivalent in english

Chapter 1: SOLD!

Chapter Text

No one captured Alpha.

It wasn’t because the black market wouldn’t sell them or that they had any kind of moral high ground it was simply put that Alpha had so much raw power that if attacked or cornered they could easily kill 12 Beta. Some Alpha’s had been taken by groups of other Alpha as prizes but even that was considered Taboo for some reason those that sought to own and forcibly claim Alphas were usually Betas or lost omegas. So when Dunk had agreed on a whim to his friends begging to finally attend a gathering he was not only shocked but his entire body began to heat and he couldn’t stop his tongue from pressing into the side of his cheek.

Dunk had been fending off the groups jibs as he gawked. The entire event was crazy from the two sets of security checks to the multiple visible guns at hips he couldn’t believe he’d let his friend drag him here. He knew that the university group that had ‘adopted’ him of sorts were part of the mafia but he had no idea what that really meant until just then. Looking around it was clear First wasn’t just part of the outside edge. It wasn’t just a name the girls and guys at school made up because of style or swagger.. no he was fully embedded into everything from black market dealings to making problems ‘go away’. Seeing Khao easily leaning into First made him edgey.

‘I can’t believe these are my friends.. I mean they talked about these things but…’ Dunk couldn’t even admit it to himself but he had never really believed them when they talked.

Take into account the other three members of the group and anyone would be surprised with the knowledge they were into dark dealings. He nervously stayed close to Mix and Earth who didn’t seem to notice his unease. Dunk was beginning to relax as they walked from stall to stall looking at what was for sale.

“OOOO Fiiiirst!” He drawled out picking up a bundle of dark purple hemp rope “I think this one has your name one it” He laughed as he saw Khao’s eyes light up and Firsts ears turn red.

“Duuuuunk!” First groaned “Now is SO not the time!” he was clearly embarrassed even as Khao came to take the bundle from his fingers.

Dunk stepped back and laughed lightly with the others as they watched the two bicker about if they actually need more of anything and he shook his head, glancing around he noticed a booth full of nothing but guns and his body chilled slightly.

‘Right.. right’ he reminded himself ‘we are not safe here we need to be careful’ He moved closer to his group when a rather rough looking man brushed by him and turned to look at him from the stall nearby.

“Hey First…lets move along yea? You said food was here?” Dunk tried to get everyone moving away from the man that had been trying to eye strip his clothes away.

“Yeeeea!!” Mix giggled “lets get food I want something yummy” He said licking his lips looking up at Earth. It wasn’t too long after they found food vendors and Dunk began to relax as he picked at his noodles.

“So.. Dunk.. what do you think? Its amazing right?” First prodded him.

He swallowed carefully and gave a light nod “I mean.. its… something…” He whispered out. “I didn’t really think it would be like this tho…” He trailed off trying to gage the look on Firsts face.

“Oh yea.. it can be a lot…” First clearly had been planning to say more but Khao interrupted “HEY!! THEY ARE DOING AUCTIONS!!!” he was way to excited for it to be something normal.

Dunk twitched nervously. “Auctions like what some fancy ass vase from like the 1800s?” First gave him a look that made him feel like an idiot well Khao started laughing

“Like a….a vase….OH MY GAWD NO! okay that’s it we gotta take him to see First common! Naaaaaa.. naaaaa khaaap.” It didn’t take much for Khao to convince First to go and soon the little group was shifting past bodies and to what looked like a stadium or maybe auditorium.

“First..” Dunk whispered slightly worried as he noticed 4 men at the entrance two with automatic weapons. “shhh Dunk its okay we can go in.” First replied without giving Dunk the information he really was wanting.

“Ahhhh Khuuun First we didn’t know you would be attending tonight! Are you planning on buying? I can get Max to grab your usual number and find seats for you and your guests.” The big man that had seemed scary moments ago melted in First presence which left Dunk feeling more uneasy than every before and seriously thankful for his heavy suppressants.

“hmmmm” First was making a show of it now “Yes I think I will.. never know what my cute partner may see that sparks joy.. send for Max.” and just like that Dunks fate was sealed he was going to enter this strange building that was guarded within an already overly guarded area. Whatever was inside must have been worth even more than all the black market drugs, guns and trafficking that was going on outside.

Within minutes they were being lead into the rather dark building by Max. “Right this way Khun First… We don’t have a lot of room tonight as we have a very special piece up for auction but don’t worry I was able to get you a set of seats from some lower thugs in the 6th row.” Max spoke conversationally as he walked down the aisle of what Dunk now realized was a theatre.

His nerves were getting to him and he could see that Khao and even Mix a Beta was reacting to his scent.

‘Focus you can’t blow it here of all places!’ His mind screamed.

He had been so good since moving to keep his patches in place and always take his suppressants he easily appeared as a Beta to everyone and he planned to keep it that way. He knew that omega weren’t oppressed here but First was always more protective of Khao than Earth ever was of Mix and it didn’t take a genius to know why. Dunk didn’t want that again.. didn’t want to suffer it was easier to hide and be safe. Taking a deep breathe he allowed his tiny groups scents to wash over him they were all calm and at ease abit excited about the event but otherwise nothing worth being nervous about.

“Common dude get your butt in!” Khao pulled his arm and dragged him to sit. Dunk groaned as he realized he was going to have to deal with Khao AND Mix for the entire thing whatever the thing was and he already knew he was gonna be teased.

“reeelax its fun!” Mix whispered.

“Just wait till you see some of the shit they have!” Khao whispered excitedly. Dunk had been about to reply when the lights on stage turned on and someone came out.

“Hello my fellow partners of the Shadows! We have many fantastical things for you and one prize so rare that maybe only 3 of you in here could buy it..” That seemed to peak everyone’s interest as murmurs of what it could be erupted thoughout the theatre. “But that will be later” The man on stage winked “Lets start with something every good man needs!” He pointed as someone rolled out a rather goddy looking bronze nude male statue.

Dunk was out of his depth as he heard people start yelling out bids and Earth gasped beside Mix. “Whats the big deal about a naked dude?” Dunk asked utterly confused.

Earth leaned across Mix and quietly spoke “That’s THE David by Donatello it’s the first ever made freestanding bronze statue!!” Earth seemed way to happy about something that had obviously been taken from a museum.

”oh..” was all Dunk said as he heard the numbers climbing higher and higher.

‘How are they even gonna leave with it’ Dunk really didn’t understand the underworld at all.

Sighing softly he heard the man on the stage finally state the piece has been sold for 5 billion. Dunks eyes were wide as he watched it being taken from the stage and another piece enter. He couldn’t believe his ears as he watched again as another statue this time one of marble was fought over by these people and then claimed at 1billion.

He was looking to the stage and back to his friends who didn’t seem at all shocked by this when they brought out the 8th piece of the night and he started to laugh “Fiiirst!” he giggled “I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE OLD VASES!” it was exclaimed loudly but quietly and Khao immediately hit him on the chest.

“Idiot!” but before Khao could elaborate First was sighing and laughing too

“Duuunk your embarrassing!” he grumbled. “THAT” he pointed to the stage “Is an extremely rare Chinese antique vase made for one of the first ever emperors of the country to give to his bride.” First hissed out.

Dunk knew he shouldn’t say it.. was sure it was going to cause problems but before he could stop himself he was speaking,

“So like is that why it looks like its encased in gold sperm?” Dunks voice was soft, playful but a tiny bit serious.

Khao slapped a hand over his mouth so he wouldn’t laugh outright, Earth wheezed into Mix’s shoulder, Perth was biting his fist to keep quiet and First stared at Dunk mouth open and then he couldn’t stop himself he let out a gasp and then a chuckle and then he was cover his own mouth trying to breathe though his nose. During the chaos the Vase had sold and a rather obnoxious fancy armoire was being shown.

“DUNK!” First reached over and smacked the others head “I CANT believe you just said that!!” He giggle whispered. “I can’t take you anywhere!” he groaned. Using the numbered paddle to fan himself lightly.

Things were dying down and Dunk was feeling more relaxed as the weird items kept coming, some fancy curtain and a weird holder thing, some kind of full body torture device that had Khao whimpering and begging First to buy it ‘for play’ and some weird metal contraption that had Earth panting. Dunk was starting to think he could be okay with this when electricity seemed to run across his skin and draw his face back to the stage.

“As promised we start into the exceptionally rare treats for the evening! It was not easy to obtain such goods and we will provide you with everything you need to keep the item.”

Dunk’s face was the picture of confusion as he glanced over to his left and then right to Khao and First for any kind of clues they looked more edgey and maybe nervous but not scared so then what was this thing… His skin started to tingle and it was like the air itself shifted drawing him back to the stage where three guards all dressed in black were dragging a very naked man to the center of the stage.

‘Oh… my….GOD!’ his entire body shuddered ‘They are selling a person!!’ whipping his head back he looked to First.

“..” He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out and then he smelt it heavy and thick in the air Alpha.

His gaze flew back as he heard the man on stage speaking “Rare indeed and ready for you to take and use, this Alpha has been given to us for you tonight a rogue with no home clearly asking to be taken. We have put a collar on him for easy control and I think you will find he is quick to learn.” The man smiled darkly as the one guard pulled the leash forward and another guard stepped out to raise the Alphas hands above his head.

“Isn’t he a sight?” The seller asked not really expecting a reply.

Dunks entire body seized he knew this was wrong on so many levels but he couldn’t stop himself its like he was drawn his body not listening his eyes found the Alpha and it was game over. Swallowing hard Dunk took in the man standing there gorgeous sunkissed skin and soft brown hair that seemed to frame his face perfectly. A sharp but smooth jaw made him squirm a bit in his seat and his eyes couldn’t help but pull back to checkout the mans petal pink lips and soft nose.

‘ffff look at him….’ Dunk raised his gaze a bit to glance at the mans eyes before looking away ‘Caramel his eyes are caramel fuck’ Dunk shifted again not realizing he was drawing attention to himself.

His gaze flicked back to the stage as he slid his eyes downward and noticed the defined muscles of the mans chest and abs. Biting his lip Dunk racked his gaze to the others arms thick, defined surely a man that could defend himself under normal circumstances. He noticed a few black lines that seemed to be wrapping his right arm clearly a tattoo of some kind. Dunk couldn’t stop now his eyes had a mind of there own as he tracked down that Alpha’s body to see a dark tattoo sitting on his right hip that seemed to contrast the others body he couldn’t tell exactly what it was perhaps an Egyptian symbol of sorts. The left thigh of the man called his eyes next and he felt his entire body began to heat and he couldn’t stop his tongue from pressing into the side of his cheek.

‘Holy…..fuck..’ His omega agreed purring and rubbing against his consciousness.

A tribal tattoo wound its way around the Alphas thigh drawing Dunks eyes upwards to the mans cock where a flash of what looked like silver caught his eye. Before Dunk could stop it a soft whine left his lips and he shifted again.

“Ooooooo!” Khao teased, “I think Dunk found something he likes!” he smacked First to look at there friend.

Dunk couldn’t hear them he was locked in a trance now ‘oh my god… oh my…fuck.. he has.. its..’A shudder of arousal ran though his entire body.

‘His cock is pierced’ His omega shivered with him whining at edge of his mind ‘lick it’ the omega whispered.

Dunk bit his lip and shifted in his seat again ‘fuck yes…’ His eyes flashed for a second and then it was gone as First’s hand on his shoulder brought him back and a flush covered his cheeks.

“OH HOO!” First laughed, “Seems like something’s got you going!” He glanced back at the stage and laughed again “It must be the same thing that’s got that Alpha getting hard”

Dunk would have answered was about to push his friends teasing off but then he was looking back and First was right the Alpha was getting hard his shaft thickening his eyes glazing.

‘ooooooo I want it…knot!’ him and his Omega shivered this time. ‘its pierced’ his Omega whined again as if Dunk could forget.

“No.. no.. haha I’m no.. I don’t..” Dunk couldn’t find words his voice thicker than normal.

“First!! Look at him… lets buy him..naaaaa? Lets buy him for Dunk… look at him.. he’s never shown any interest in anyone in the 2 years we have known him.” Khao wasn’t above begging but he also couldn’t help feeling like there was something about Dunk’s scent that seemed wrong right then.

First was laughing now as he popped the paddle up and entered the battle “Eh Duuuunk you want an Alpha of your own?” he teased.

First wasn’t into the buying or selling of Alpha it was way to taboo and his family would frown upon him doing such a thing. But this Alpha had already been taken and put into the market so it really shouldn’t be a huge deal. Dunk could have a few days to let whatever interest he suddenly had run its course and they would release him easy as pie.

“NO! FIIIRST!!!” Dunk hissed and looked back to the stage where those glazed eyes were looking right at him. “I….” Dunk forced his eyes away from the stage and back to First and Khao who were laughing, First raised the paddle again to keep in the bid war.

“Its fine Dunk really… Beta seem to be interested in dominating Alpha every now and again its cool don’t worry about it..” First raised the paddle once more nodding at the man on stage. Mix and Earth were chuckling at the dilemma Dunk was in. It was rare for them to see Dunk so flustered and they weren’t about to turn away and miss any of it.

“Fiiiiirst! You can’t!! this is crazy and its a lot and…he's..” Dunk wasn’t sure how he was planning to finish that but he watched as First raised his hand again and groaned.

“Dunk its fine you never let me buy you things.” First spoke matter of factly.

“Yea! Even when you needed shoes you wouldn’t let him!” Khao piped in. “Just let us naaaaaa” Khao pouted looking way to cute with his omega charms.

“but…it’s a person…” Dunk tried one last time.

First turned to look directly at Dunk then.

“Yes, He is an Alpha but he’s being sold Dunk… what you do with him after is your choice just let me do this. If you really don’t want me to buy him give me one good reason why you haven’t had a single relationship with anyone in 2 years.” First raised his hand again to keep the bidding going but his focus on Dunk.

‘….shit….I can’t… telling him anything and he’s going to know!’ Dunk realized he was trapped he would have to either admit he was an omega and hiding or he would have to try and lie and hope they couldn’t smell it.

Saying he was Asexual had worked for awhile and then saying he never got the itch and then he had slept with a few people as one offs and the convo about him and his lack of sex stopped. But this was something different his body was hot and there was no way they couldn’t smell his arousal over the situation so it made some weird sense that First would want to buy it for him because he never did it. Groaning he looked back at the stage.

‘shit..I guess I’m getting you now..’ he licked his lips and whispered,

“Okay First…but just…just this once…” he sealed his own fate.

Khao gave out a whoop and First stood-up and before he could speak Max was suddenly there.

“Max I want that Alpha what is the buy now bid?” First was relaxed and calm. Max was frozen for a second and then he was moving down to front. Dunk watched fascinated as Max called out to the seller. Nothing was heard for a few moments and then the seller turned the mic back on

“It seems we have an even bigger spender than expected the Alpha is SOLD!” and with that Dunk watched as the beautiful man was dragged off the stage and the crowed erupted.

“It was well under your full allotment Khun First, they will hold him in back till the auction is finished and then you may go collect him.” Max bowed slightly as he walked back up the steps. ‘Holy shit….’ Dunk shivered again.

Khao clapped him on the back “So you have an Alpha now….” He leaned in and wiggled his eyebrows “Whatcha gonna do to him? You gonna tie him down? Make him ride your cock? Ooooo or maybe you wanna cover him in cum? That’s it isn’t it!?” Khao was bouncing in his seat as he watched Dunk turn scarlet.

‘What the hell am I going to do now?’ Dunk was spiralling a bit trying to figure out just how this was going to go.

‘I… well First just bought a human a… a HUMAN... and and…’ Dunk bit his lip lightly ‘a really hot Alpha that has a pierced…’ he didn’t let his omega finish that thought. He groaned and shifted again trying to focus on what had been put on stage in replacement of the Alpha.
