Harry ||10||
Harry's arms locked firmly around Louis' body, one of his hands caressing Louis' hip and the other remaining still on top of it. He let his head fall against the pillows that were beneath his head, his heart beating faster then it should've been due to their close proximity.
He shook his head gently and sighed, the noise coming off as annoyed while he thought back to what Louis had said only moments prior. He was annoyed by the fact that Louis had such little faith in him, his alpha, but it was also refreshing to him. It was refreshing to not have every person he walked by flinch away from him or refuse to make eye contact with him because he was the most dangerous alpha in the world.
"Lou?" Harry questioned quietly, his voice just a mere whisper. He rolled his head to the side, his cheek making contact with a cool spot on the pillow. He stared at the back of the boy's head, even when he heard a quiet questioning "Yeah?" from Louis.
Harry bit his lip harshly and moved his hand a little, letting his cool, slim fingers skim over Louis bare stomach. "Do you know who I am?" Harry asked, his voice sounding very child-like and nothing like the dastardly alpha he truly was.
Louis' eyebrows furrowed, the goose bumps that had arisen on his skin from Harry's touch not disappearing, not even when he turned over so he could look at Harry properly, the alpha's arms never unwrapping from around Louis' body.
"I know that your name is Harry and that you are 21, but I don't think that's what you mean." Louis bit his lip and tilted his face up a little, his blue eyes just barely visible because of the long, thick eyelashes that framed them.
Harry's breathing had stuttered when Louis looked up at him. He felt the alpha inside him rise, a small, threatening growl escaping his curled lips as he threatened Harry, making him know that there was not to be one scratch on Louis' pale, yet perfect, skin.
"Not exactly. I mean, have you ever heard of the rumors of the most dangerous alpha, the one who terrifies every living person on this earth because of the power they possess?" He asked, flinching as he spoke of himself. Harry hated that being the most powerful alpha made him a legend, that that legacy would define him for the rest of his life.
Louis nodded softly, his mind racing when he thought back to all the scary stories he had been told by other children here. He faintly remembered that the alpha everyone was afraid of was two years younger then him. He also remembered one night, many years ago, when he had heard the alpha boy's screams echoing through the hallway his room used to be in, as he was put through numerous tests, ones very similar to the ones Louis had been put through his entire life.
But that night, Louis hadn't feared his screams, cries, and growls. Instead, he felt the pain the boy just down the hallway was feeling. He knew what it felt like to be put through those painful tests, oh, he knew all to well how much pain he had to endure in order to ensure the doctors were satisfied.
"Yeah, what about him?" Louis stared up at Harry, his own eyes tracing over every crinkle, blemish and scar covering his face before they landed back on Harry's electrifying green eyes. He noticed the faint sparkle of uncertainty that Harry had in his eyes, but the most dominant feeling Louis could pick out was disgust.
Harry inhaled shakily and shut his eyes when he had enough of Louis' blue eyes burning holes into his, and he felt as if the boy could read every single little thing there was to know about him. "What if I told you that the same alpha, was also the council leader's son and the next person in line to become the council leader?" Harry asked, his voice going low, and traces of anger laced through it.
Louis shrugged, though he was intrigued as to why Harry had brought this up. "I would say he has a very bright future?" Louis asked rather then stated. He scooted closer to Harry, his cool hands slipping in between their bodies and curling against Harry's chest in search of the heat radiating from his body.
Harry chuckled bitterly and opened his eyes, his eyes instantly locking on Louis'. "If being locked in a room with an omega as he awaits the moment the doctors tell him to fuck the boy and impregnant him with pups, then leave him to fend for himself and claim the title of the council leader is your definition of a bright future, then yeah I guess I have one." Harry spat harshly, his arms unwinding from around Louis' body.
He scooted over a little and rolled onto his back, his arms crossing over his chest and his now red eyes closing as he tried to slow down his breathing and control his alpha. He heard Louis' sharp intake of breath before he heard his heart rate pick up, the Louis' fear soon radiating from every pore on his body.
Seconds, or maybe minutes had passed before he felt the bed start to move, then dip behind his back. He jerked away from Louis when his hand tentatively brushed his shoulder. Harry jumped up from the bed and was across the room in seconds, his hands in fists at his sides and his knees were spread apart.
"Just save your breath, your two hours are up." Harry growled, a knock on the door heard only seconds later.
