And Up Until Now I Had Sworn To Myself That I'm Content With Loneliness.

"What do you mean?"

He sprinted out of the store and towards his car, putting on his seatbelt the panic grew stronger. It had him gasping for air and praying that Louis wasn't hurt or worse.

Harry raced down the street as fast as he could, his breathing picked up to the point of a near panic attack. He couldn't imagine how Louis must feel right now.

"Fuck" He murmured as a wave of nausea hit him, he gripped the wheel tighter and tried to send calming and reassuring feeling to Louis but his own panic made it hard to do so.
Once he arrived at their complex he sprinted out of the car and rushed inside.

"I'm going to kill someone today" was the first thing Harry thought when he got a whiff of a unfamiliar Alpha scents.

He tried to unlock the door but he was shaking too hard, after a couple of tries he got it and pushed the door open with force. Letting out a Loud and dominate growl, Harry could only focus on the whimpering coming from their bedroom before someone forced a cloth on his mouth.

He struggled and growled but that only made him drowsy, in the end he snarled before he fell to the floor and was overcome with blackness.

He woke-up after two days with a pounding headache. His mouth felt dry and he couldn't breathe for a second. When he finally realized where he was he jumped up only to discover that he was tapped to a chair in the middle of the living room.

"Louis!" he called and growled animalistic. He heard a whimper coming from the bedroom and immediately stood up with the chair.

"I'm coming baby, hold on love!" he tried to sound as reassuring as he could.

It was difficult but he made his way to the kitchen to search for a knife, he found one and tried to cut himself out while getting increasingly nervous about the absent of the unknown Alpha.

It took forever but finally Harry managed to put enough pressure on the knife so it cut thru the tape.

The Alpha rushed to the bedroom and opens it without hesitation.
Laying there on his back was Louis, his precious little love, naked accept for his boxers.
His hands were tied together and his expression was unfocused.

"Baby?" Harry took a careful step towards the bed and gasped when he saw blood.

He rushed to Louis' side and couldn't stop growling making Louis flinch away from his touch.

"Baby, Love, Darling it's me" Louis didn't reply and his gaze stayed unfocused.

Harry couldn't wait any longer, he had to make sure his omega wasn't dying. Getting closer Harry discovers that the blood was coming from Louis' back, gently he rolls him over with just a small whine from Louis.

"Fucking hell baby" He can't help but say, Louis back look like it's been scratched by a dozen street cats. There are multiple lines next to his spine bleeding and suddenly Harry knows.

Louis' been whipped.

He runs to the kitchen and finds Louis' phone that he uses to call the police and an ambulance.

When he hangs up he's breathing heavily and seeing everything in a haze of red.

The Alpha hears the door open and close and smells the unknown Alpha again.

He hears him walk down the hall and into the living room and when Harry finally gets a glimpse at him he charges.

Growling aggressively he caught the Alpha off guard.

Harry punches him in the face and he falls down but Harry doesn't stop. He straddles the Alpha and rams his fist down with all his might. The other Alpha gets a few punches in but Harry is unstoppable.

The Alpha tries to jump up and knocks Harry off him standing up and trying grab something as a weapon but Harry's already ahead of him and throws him against the wall.

Wrapping his hands around the Alpha's neck Harry puts as much pressure as he can while the Alpha claws at his hands.

Harry feels the Alpha get stronger with his struggles and almost lets go but when he hears Louis whimper his eyes turn red and with new found strength he finishes the act.

The unknown Alpha's lifeless body slides down the wall as Harry lets go of him.

He snarls and growls while he makes his way to their bedroom and crawls into their bed where Louis is still laying on his back, Harry's chest won't stop rambling as he lowers his heads and licks Louis' wounds clean.

He hears Louis softly whimper and makes a pleased sound when he's done.

He tries to cover Louis with his body when he hears commotion at the front door.

People get inside the apartment but Harry's hazy mind doesn't remember calling the police and starts growling anxiously at the officers that come inside the room.

They try to break Harry away from Louis but when he punches one of the ambulance brothers they decide to sedate him.

His vision becomes unsteady and he passes out with a snarl.

Harry wakes up disoriented again. He didn't know where he was or what he was doing there until someone shrieked and rushed over to him.

"Mom?" Harry questioned when he saw Anne wiping her face and sob into a tissue.

"Harry, baby oh my god" Anne sobbed harder.

"Mom what's going on, why are you crying?" Harry asked with a slight crack in his voice from the lack of activity.

"I'm just so happy you're okay baby" His mother stroked his hair lovingly and The Alpha couldn't help but lean in to it.

"Fuck" Harry cursed when he remembered what happened with Louis.

Anne tried to shush him but he was frantic.

"Mom where is Louis? is he okay? i need to go see him." He tried getting up but his mom stopped him and pushed him down again.

"He's okay Harry just calm down and tell me how you feel"

"I feel like I need to see my Omega right now" Harry argued with his mother, he was fine and the only way he was calming down was if he saw Louis alive and well.

"Harry you killed a man with your bare hands, you need to let that sink in before you do anything right now." Anne said gently, dabbing her eyes.

Harry slumped back against his pillow and sighed.

"I know mom but he broke into my home and abused my Omega, I had every right to kill that fucking bastard" seeding Harry balled his fists and a ramble in his chest started.

"I know baby and nobody blames you" Anne took a deep breathe.

"Harry, when they arrived at the apartment they found you on the bed and Drew Sharp on the ground in the living room, your eyes were red indicating that you were in full Alpha headspace and Louis, well Louis was trapped in the wrong kind of headspace." Anne explained, her voice cracking at the end.

Harry shot up straight again "Mom you said he was fine!" He was so close to using his Alpha voice and force his mom to let him go see Louis.

"Yes, they got him out of it and he's asleep but they're not sure how Louis will wake up."

"What do you mean?"

"They said Louis' behaviour could be different and strongly suggested therapy when he wakes up"

Harry rubbed his face and cringed when he felt his left eye.

"Shit" This was all one big fucking mess.

"Can you please show me his room?" Harry sniffled suddenly, emotionally exhausted.

"Are you sure baby he's laying on his back because the wounds aren't closed yet but that should go fast and the doctor said they won't leave a scare because of your saliva."

His mom patted his hair again when he stood up, luckily they didn't put him in a hospital gown.

"Show me the way."
