Soft sheets rustled against his toes, the unfamiliar satin sliding against his skin. His memory was still hazy, his head wavering like the splash of water in the sea; refreshing—yet way too cold.
"...where..?"
It was solemn, wondering why he can't hear the voices of the omega children running and laughing in the halls while playing tag, nor the calling of the mother omegas while the delectable smell of curry was in the air.
Even Kaoru's infectious laugh was nowhere to be heard, or maybe the sound of Aki's heavy foot steps with the strong aroma of his coffee enough to punch someone awake just by the smell of caffeine.
Was he in the hideout? He doesn't know. For maybe he is not, considering he was laying in the satin lavender sheets and a soft mattress softer like cloud more than the raspy cream sheets and the thin carton covering the metal frame of his bed.
"..did Ryu got me..?!"
Jin was slowly coming to his right mind, his blurry vision becoming clearer as his eyes darted around the unfamiliar room. His head was still heavy, hefty than the bang in the head with a metal baseball bat before but it was bearable—at least for someone like him who was used to pain.
His eyes were scanning, the room itself was spacious, dark blue striped wallpaper were decorating the walls and a gold chandelier that illuminates the room. There were no furnitures other than the bed he was sitting on and the night stand.
There were no windows, one metal door that was password coded were the only way he can use to flee off the place he was in.
"Talk about bad luck, Jin. I'm really fucked big time huh?" his fingers trailed over the metal chain linked on the solid gold cuff locked on both sides of his wrists that weighs heavily, the long chain connected and screwed firmly on the wall.
Jin snickered, but he was sure enough he was more than exasperated by the thought that an alpha, the class he loathed most, making it more detested that the mafia boss Ryu Kage was keeping him chained like a pet.
It encompassed his morals as a head strong omega, never he has thought on his vocabulary the word 'captured' nor 'mated' after all. He'd rather die and lose his limbs or his very own head than the thought of Ryu Kage ramming his body down the bed and taking his knot to carry the alpha's pups; more like creating future monsters on his thought.
"I swear if I managed to take this shitty gold cuffs on me, I'm going to bury this very own building on their own dust." He gritted, pulling over the restraints on his left hand with immense force in hopes to break its clutch against the wall even with little progress even with the ache sending down the line of his muscle.
"If I were you, you would stop right there. You're wasting time hurting yourself and don't even think of getting out of here."
Jin was alarmed of the voice that was certainly didn't came from him or the outside, it was from a microphone that was attached somewhere in the room and probably accompanied by a security camera.
"Who the fuck are you even? You can't be Ryu. You better get me out of here, the least reward I'd give you is to spare your life. Once I pulled off this restraint off me, you'd be pretty damn sure this whole building is going to have their very own blood swimming pool. I'd let you swim on it if you like."
His patience was running out, going through the opposite of what the voice said and pulled on the chain harder than before that he can feel his muscles being pulled and the pain tingling on his bones.
"Be thankful that the boss didn't threw you at the omega dungeon and gave you a proper room to sleep on and have your back laid in a soft mattress while taking him. Your own kind is down there, getting drugged and knotted by our mafia members, have their pups taken away or become a torture toy. As much as I'd like your generous offer, I believe our pure blooded alpha lead is more than capable than a masked vigilante like you."
The thought of it fueled him much more, imagining the poorly treated omegas made his boiling blood further explode. Fuck his wrist bones, even if its crushed and torn away from his own arm he less likely cared for more than getting out and free the others that are helpless and suffering from their hands.
"Your loyalty to that mafia boss of yours is incredible. You'll regret the rejection of my offer, once I got off here you better pray you'll still have the head of your capable boss attached to his neck. Just because he was a pure blood you praise him? Bullshit. You' re all alphas, it's the same thing."
It was the logic of their classes that he never gets to come and will never understand. The pure bloods that were above the alphas themselves, its only blood for him. There were no changes, just the same stream of pure blooded class running down their blood that made them climb the top with no sweat and effort. The same as every predecessor of Ryu Mafia down to their latest one, pure cold blooded motherfuckers like they always did.
"I'm a beta and a caporegime, just so you're informed. I doubt you'd be able to match an unstrained pure blood alpha. Much more oppose the head of the Ryu Mafia that no one dared, not even those elite and the government itself. Its better for you to be his mate, who knows? He might change his mind about omegas if you'll be patient."
"Might as well never forget I bombed off three of your disgusting omega facilities in different regions, killed off your caporegime comrades and drug dealers. So what? My class doesn't define my strength, toy soldier. We all have here the same set of body parts, except that fucking pheromones that separated us into four sections. Nonetheless, I have the hands to torn off yours and the head of your boss from your bodies."
Jin had been using his whole body to force off the chain, pulling through that even the bed was moving off its place. His wrists were already burning as he can hear the the metal slowly wearing off from its tight handle on the wall.
"Even if you get out of that restraints I'm pretty sure you won't get past one block. You don't even know where you are."
His mind was processing which property he was being detained in, sorting every place he remembered that the large mafia owns. He was sure for one thing that he wasn't in the infamous Ryu mansion, for he knew the boss had enough brains to hide him somewhere far from the other alphas of the extended organization and of course his friends that will surely pry on his plans about him.
"Let me guess, I'm not in the country anymore aren't I? We maybe somewhere in Gwangju, maybe Mokpo. Or more extreme of it is having the time of our lives in Sicily, might be hidden in his mansion at Brooklyn New York or I'm detained inside a hotel-casino in Monaco. I can be even somewhere in Fukuoka, with the Yakuza that the boss of yours hired to end me once I decided to run. "
For all his life as Alastor, Jin had already engraved in his brain every places, every casino, every warehouses that mafia owns even every transnational partnership they had with other mafia organizations. Its no sweat for him, whether he ran around in each city he'll live for he knew how to survive the streets with someone after his head.
"As expected from the best known vigilante, of course you knew every place our mafia has. For all I know, boss wouldn't want you harmed. Maybe a little lesson that came from his very own hand, but if you left here he'll be after you endlessly make it more special we knew your face now. Its not just him hunting you now every other group you could think of is after you, even your friends that seemed to join the enemy mafia of Hades were hunting you and the boss isn't taking it lightly."
Jin snapped his head when he heard the name Hades, his eyes widened of disbelief information he heard.
"Repeat that again? Did you say Hades?"
"Oh, you didn't knew? While you were being mated by our boss, and your friends..what's their name again? Dionysus and Apollo right? They came in to rescue you along with the mafia group of Hades and fought against ours, killed the elites inside the Epsilon Hall. I guess they exchanged a pretty big deal to get that man on their side."
