Chapter 27: Decision
Warning ⚠️: Blood, violence
Vegas' POV
I slowly opened my eyes. My head was throbbing and every muscle of my body was aching like hell. I groaned as I tried to move my limbs.
This place.
This place is not familiar.
Where am I?
Pete.
Where is Pete?
I quickly stood up, feeling a bit dizzy as I do so. The excruciating pain surged through my body. It hurts. I need to find Pete. My omega. Where is he?
Please be safe little one.
In front of me, it looks like an old burnt warehouse. There are some people standing at the main gate. I need to hurry up and find Pete before anything happens to him. He needs to be safe, it's not only him anymore.
"Pete!"
"Pete! Please, where are you?" My shouts echoes in the entire warehouse drawing everyone's attention.
"Hey, how is he not tied? Who's job was it?!" One of the thugs shouted to others. They started approaching me as I got ready to tackle them. They all seem to be alphas, but so am I. I will defeat them all. I need find my omega. He is distressed, I could feel it through the bond.
"Where is my omega!?" I demanded. They all frowned and started laughing.
"Fucking hell where is my omega!!!?"
"Pete!"
"Look at this fool. Hey, don't worry. Your omega is in 'good hands.' Boss will take good care of that beautiful omega," that's it.
"How dare you!!?" I ran towards that particular alpha and crashed my fist onto his jaw. We both fell down, holding eachother's color. I slowly maneuvered myself to strandle him and repeatedly punched his face.
"Where is my omega!? How. Dare. You. Talk. Like. That. About. My. Omega. You. Fucking. Idiot." His face was bleeding now, but I had no intentions of stopping my activity.
"St...op... You... You are... Crazy," he dared to speak as I punched him once, twice, thrice, I lost count of how many. He was bleeding from every inch of his face. Even the white of his eyes were covered with red liquid. A ting of thrill surged in my body as I saw the bloody image in front of me. It's been really long since I have tortured someone. I almost forgot how amazing it feels to see your enemies so desperate in pain like that.
"Hey stop! You'll kill him," one of the thugs shouted.
The punches continued until he took his last breath. His blood splattered on my face and shirt.
"Amazing," I muttered. I grinned due to the adrenaline rushing in my body. I could see how the remaining ones shivered a little at the awful sight. They pointed their gun at me as I approached them fearlessly.
"Boss said to keep him alive till he comes," one of the confesed.
"He is too dangerous! He is crazy!" The other shouted.
"But... We won't get our money if we don't follow his orders," they kept on blabbering things to each other as I ran towards one and landed an elbow on his chest to quickly grab his gun and shoot the remaining ones right on the head.
One. Two. Three.
Dead.
Their single mistake ended their life. They Shouldn't have forgotten to tie me up.
"Ahh.." the one under me groaned in pain as I pushed his ribs under my feet. I squated down and held his hair roughly to make him look at me in the eyes.
"This will the last time I'll ask you this before I shove every bullet from this gun into your mouth. Where. Is. My. Omega!?" I hit his face with the gun until his face had bloody bruises.
"I... Spare me," he begged.
I just realized it this idiot who pulled Pete away from my arms. He had touched my omega.
"AHH!" I crushed his palm with my shoes. His finger bones crumbling up into pieces as I applied more force on it.
"Answer me!" Another bullet landed on his left thigh. I used my fingers to fig deeper into his bullet wound as blood oozed out of it.
"He... Boss... He-" I widened my eyes in surprise as I saw the alpha taking his last breath not because of me, but someone have shot him right in the chest.
I turned around and saw... Pete.
"Pete!" He was forcefully being held by two masculine alphas and the thought of another alpha touching my mate made my alpha growl in aggression.
"Look at you poor thing," another man appeared from behind.
"Mr. Paul?" This family always gets on my nerves.
"Pathetic." He smirked.
"You look pathetic Khun Vegas, you know why? Cause your heart is here," he pointed his gun at Pete who seemed half conscious.
"Veg...as," my omega was in pain. No. Nothing will happen to him. He should be safe... And my pup. My alpha groaned at the thought of our pup inside Pete.
"Stop! Don't you dare touch him! It was me, I killed Jess. Take your revenge on me and leave him alone!" I was desperate for my omega. My alpha wanted to lunge on those bastards and strangle their throat, but I need to think before taking any actions. He can harm Pete and my child.
"Oh really!? This bitch didn't hesitate when pulling the trigger to kill my son then how could I let him go!?" He pulled Pete's hair and slapped him hard. I could see the hint of blood at the side of his lip.
"You bastard!!" I walked few steps towards him but quickly stopped as the bastard pointed his gun at Pete's stomach.
Fuck.
"Theerapanyakul heir. Your child is in there right?" He started laughing maniacally. "Let's see how it feels to lose your own blood," he walked closer to Pete as I could see my omega panicking.
"Stop! How do you know?!" This can't be. We just got to know about the pup and no body knows about it.
"Hahaha... You really underestimate me Khun Vegas. I had my men behind you two the day I saw that video clip of you brutally murdering my son," he punched Pete on the face causing him to fall on the floor.
"Pete!" I pointed my gun at that bastard Paul as he does the same to Pete.
"I will end his life in front of your eyes Vegas! Your mate and child will die at the hands of mine! I will kill him before you can pull your fucking trigger so fucking put your gun down and kneel!" He kicked Pete on his thighs, very close to his lower abdomen.
"Please..." I gave up, dropping my gun on the ground. I raised my hands on surrender and fell on the ground on my knees.
"Vegas... You idiot," I heard Pete mumbled. His hands were wrapped around his lower abdomen. He was trying to protect our... Pup.
"Go beat him up!" I saw many men entering the warehouse out of nowhere and started approaching me. All of them ganged up and proceeded to kick me everywhere.
"Use your strength! I want to see him crumpled on the ground," I heard that bastards command. His gun was still pointing at Pete's abdomen. He also started kicking Pete on the legs, even stepping on his ankle as I hear my little one scream on pain. My tears spilled out my eyes as I can do nothing to protect my mate and pup.
My head was throbbing, my chest was burning, my stomach was churning in pain. It hurts. Everything hurts. Memories of the people I loved flashed before my eyes as I was unable to hear anything now. Please Pete, stay strong. I am sorry I can't protect you and our pup. My eyes were about to close when I suddenly heard a familiar voice and they stopped kicking me.
"Stop! Now!" Pete? I saw from my peripheral sight that he was holding a gun and already shot Paul in his legs.

Pete's POV
I felt a throbbing pain all over my body. I don't understand why Vegas dropped his gun due to a little threat from this bastard. He apparently knows about my pregnancy and my only fear is that he will harm our pup. I don't want it to die miserably. I wrapped my hands around my lower abdomen as he stepped on my ankle. It hurts. I could feel my bones cracking.
"Ahhh!" The excruciating pain surged in my body as he further kicked me on my legs. My omega was screaming for his alpha. My mating mark was aching as I could feel how hurt Vegas was. Please Vegas. Hang in there.
Paul was about to land his kick on my lower abdomen, but I instinctly grabbed my his leg and pulled him to the ground. I quickly grabbed the gun that fell from his hand and shot him in the legs to paralyze his movements.
"Ahh.. you little.. bitch," he groaned in pain. I shot his other leg as he was trying to stand up again. His screams were pleasure to my ears. I stood up slowly with the help of a wall next to me.
Shit.
My ankle was broken for sure, it was hard to put my weight on it, so I had to shit all my weight on the other foot.
"Stop!" I shouted. All the thugs looked at my direction and widened their eyes as they saw their boss squirm in pain on the ground. My eyes shifted to Vegas on the floor, my omega was screeching at the awful sight of Vegas covered in red and blue bruises.
"Leave him alone!" I shouted and shot one directly on the forehead. All of them started laughing as of to mock me. It made me really furious and the last thing I knew was that I emptied all the bullets in Paul's body as he accompanied his son to hell. His blood splattered on my face and shirt as a sacrifice to a demon, making me grin in satisfaction.
"Better let him go if you don't want to end up like him!" I pointed my empty gun at them but they had no clue it was empty.
"Mmm, quite a lot of strength in a pregnant omega, but don't worry. He was just an old hog, I show you the power of a strong alpha, unlike your petty mate," he, who seems like the leader of the thugs, kicked Vegas in the stomach before approaching towards me. My eyes widened
"Stop right there before I shoot you!" I warned but he continued to approach me. Does he know that this gun doesn't have any bullets? My hands were shaking, I wouldn't be scared it was only me who will be harmed. There was a life inside me that I need to protect. I found my hand unconsciously placed on my lower abdomen as I tried to shift backwards.
Before I could fall to the ground due to leg pain, he grabbed me by the neck, lifting me from the ground as he used his entire force to strangle my throat. The airway was blocked as my lungs were desperately trying to get some oxygen in. My heart pumped the blood harder, asking for more oxygen. My head was spinning as I closed my eyes to see my loved once flesh before my eyes.
I waited for my death, but surprisingly it never came. The alpha in front of me collapsed as I head a loud shot. I tried to stable myself by holding the wall beside me. The air quickly gushed into my lungs as I breathed heavily. After my breathing was normal, I looked up to see some men with the guns fighting with the thugs. Everyone were busy fighting with one another so I limped towards Vegas who was groaning in pain on the ground.
"Vegas," I whispered.

Author's POV
"Pete," the alpha coughed some blood before slowly sitting up.
"Are you okay?" Pete cupped his cheeks and caressed the wounds on his face. Concern visible in both of their eyes.
"I am okay. Pete, we need to.. get out of here," Vegas held Pete's wrist and stood up. He helped Pete to get up as well, but the poor omega was had difficulty walking with his injured ankle.
Vegas wrapped his arms around the Omega's waist and both walked towards the exit. They walked and walked, far away from the warehouse until they reached a gas station.
Vegas settled Pete on a bench nearby as he took out a phone from his pocket, which he smoothly stole from one of the thugs who was beating him up. He proceeded to call Nop, asking him to pick them up from this area.
"Nop said it will take him at least one hour to arrive here," the alpha informed.
"What?! What if they catch us again?" The omega asked panicked.
"We.. we have to go somewhere else, we aren't really far from them,"
"Hmm,"
"I... I am hungry," the omega asked with his puppy eyes. The gas station was nearby so Vegas quickly went inside the store while keeping his eyes on Pete and bought some crisps and jam buns. Pete immediately smiled when he saw Vegas carrying some food in his hands.
"Here," the alpha placed everything on side and gave a jam bun to the hungry Pete. The Omega immediately grabbed opened the packet to eat the food but was slapped by Vegas on the hand.
"Clean your hands first!" He took out a tissue wipes and started cleaning the Omega's hands as he crouched down on front of him.
"Hey! I forgot due to my hunger, no need to snap me like that," the alpha gave a small smirk before displaying a stern face.
"Those people... The ones to attacked the thugs. Who were they?" Pete realised what had happened back on the warehouse.
"Skull. They were from skull. I saw the pin they were wearing, it's part of their dress code,"
"Skull?"
"They're new established underground Mafias. They have allies from all over the world, and are rising rapidly in the mafia world. They recently took lots of our investors, I am afraid they are planning to take us down by harming us," Vegas confessed, worry visible in the eyes. Pete gulped at the information.
"We need to get out of here before they get to us. Hurry up and finish your food,"
"But.. where should we go? Nop said he will arrive here in one hour,"
"I have asked the shop owner about any nearby hotels, he said there is one about fifteen minutes away from here," the omega widened his eyes.
"Fifteen minutes? I can't walk for that long!" Pete started whining about his ankle pain.
"But you very easily tackled Paul with that injured leg of yous," Vegas Smirked looking straight into the Omega's eyes while Pete rolled his eyes.
"That was different! I can't walk anyone,"
Vegas gave Pete everything to hold and proceeded to lift him up in a bridal style.
"W.. wait what are you doing?" Pete asked worried.
"You said you can't walk so I'll take you there,"
"B..but your injuries... It would put pressure on them. I'll try to walk, you don't need to do that," the omega started move away from the Alpha's hold but was too late as Vegas lifted him up in the arms.
"It's fine, the injuries are not severe, just some bruises," soon the omega wiggled in the hold causing the alpha to wince on pain.
"Stop moving now!"
"I told you to put me down!"
"Stay still, you are hurting me more," the omega rolled his eyes as he rested his head on Vegas' shoulder which made the alpha smile.
Few minutes passed and they finally reached the destination. Vegas took the key from the reception and they finally got inside a cosy room. He settled the omega on the bed and crouched in front of him.
"Are you okay? I...I mean did he hit you somewhere near the stomach... Does it hurt over there?" Pete immediately stopped eating his bun and stared at the alpha. His eyes filled water instantly and the lips curled down as if about to cry like a child. Fuck the pregnancy hormones. He thought. Vegas started panicking and held Pete's cheeks to wipe the tears flowing down the white cheeks.
"What.. what happened? Does anything hurts? Let's call an ambulance-" the omega bend down and hugged the alpha. He burried his head in Vegas' chest and started sobbing uncontrollably.
"Pete... What's wrong?" Vegas asked, concerned.
"I... I was... so worried... about the pup," he said between the sobs. Vegas sighed with relief and tighten his grip around the omega.
"It's okay, everything is fine now," he continued to rub the Omega's back up and down, slowly releasing his pheromone to calm his mate. Vegas sat next to Pete while still holding him in the arm.
"Vegas..." The omega muttered in the Alpha's broad chest.
"Yes..?"
"Can... Can we keep the baby? I... You know I really wanted to keep it safe during the fight. He... He nearly kicked me in the stomach... Almost killing our pup. I was so scared... I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything could have happened to it, I realised how much I wanted to keep it, keep it safe and protected. It's- our blood Vegas. It's not their fault for just existing, I don't want to end it's life... Before it sees the world... I know... I know it would be difficult for us-- you are quite young-- you have your whole life ahead of you, but... But it's fine if you refuse, I understand. I...I just want you to be there as our alpha... You don't have to do anything or take any responsibility... We just want you to be there... Please. My emotions are so messed up... I don't know how I will handle all this. I don't know how I will manage all this... I still haven't graduated yet and... This responsibility, it's huge but... Wiping their its is not what I want. I-"
Pete finally stopped speaking as he felt a pair of lips on his. The kiss was chaste, slow and soft. It was full of love with no passion. Vegas sucked the two soft lips, licking them to moisture it. The omega was a bit surprised by the alpha's sudden action but eventually gave into the kiss.
They finally parted after a minute of kissing. The alpha cupped the Omega's cheeks and landed kisses on his eyes. He slowly wiped his tears and finally kissed him on the forehead.
"Vegas..."
"Shhh..." Vegas placed his index finger on the Omega's lips.
"It's my turn now... Let me speak please," Pete nodded. Vegas moved one of his hands and placed it against the omega's lower abdomen.
"You know Pete... I always wanted this pup. At first, I thought... I thought you wouldn't like the idea," Pete tried to say something but immediately stopped as the alpha shook his head. "let me finish please," the Omega nodded.
"I know I am not capable of being a father yet, but... But I still want to try. I was so happy when the doctor announced your pregnancy... But there was more worry and that sense of insecurity than the happiness. I still don't know if I will be able to provide that protection for you two," Pete placed his hand on top the the Alpha's hand on his abdomen. "I still don't know how everything will work out, but I want to experience this journey with you... I want us to go through the parenthood together. I will try my very best to support you and protect you through this. I promise." They finally kissed after the emotional confession.
The feelings has been displayed as they finally let out their inner turmoil, feeling light as if kilos of weight have been lifted off their shoulders.
"You have me," the alpha said before he landed a kiss on the omega's forehead.
