should've been me

War is not kind.

That’s something Regulus realised five years into this mess. It's a stupid thought; of course, war isn’t kind; it’s war, but he didn’t realise how selfish people would be and how they would turn on each other, allies, friends, enemies helping each other, betrayals, heartbreak and pain.

He had thought about the physical pain, but the emotional one took him by storm, breaking away at his strongest friends.

He saw Barty; he’s not the same anymore without Evan by his side, without his blond love, without his soulmate. It hurts to look at Barty, so he doesn’t anymore.

Alphas anger: he’s been dealing with his father’s anger for a while now, since his mother died, leaving him to deal with Walburga all by himself.

She’s angry, and her Omega’ is dead, and he has to deal with her all the time.

So he puts his father to sleep and prays to the gods that she never wakes up; every day, he hopes the medicine he doses her with will kill her.

He loved his father; at some point, Regulus was sure he loved her, but he can’t quite remember now.

With the death of his friends, with crazy seeping into his family, taking them one by one.

He can’t remember when he loved his family.

He can’t remember why he stayed.

He picked up the ingredients.

“This is new. It helps with Alphas, the especially bothersome ones,” Philip said, his aged hand reaching for something behind the counter.

“How do you know that I’m dealing with that, Phil” Regulus sighed, pulling out his coin bag.

“Well, ain’t that just what Omegas have been dealing with for centuries” Philip shrugged, his hand scratching his grey bread; he reminded Regulus of his grandfather, but in a working man's way, which his grandfather never had been

“And do they ever stop being angry?” Regulus removed his hood; the store was empty. Philip closed it after seeing Regulus come in. The elder Alpha walked towards him, bringing Regulus ingredients directly to him.

“I certainly did! Took some time, though it did,” he said. Regulus got closer, looking up at Philip. “Dontcha look at me like that now, Omega, I’m still an Alpha.”

“It's not my intention” Regulus shook his head, his hair flopping with the movement. “I’m just— I’m just quite tired, is all.”

Regulus felt a hand on his cheek, reaching his gland; he sighed when the fingers massaged it, giving him a little relief, his shoulder loosening. He didn’t feel the strain in the first place, maybe they have been tense since he left Hogwarts, since his Alpha left him.

“It will get better” Philip took off his hands, and Regulus whined at a loss.

He would let him— Regulus realised as he placed the money on his hands, he would let him put him on his knees, he would let him fuck him, he wanted someone to touch him, without the need to slap him, without looking pass him, he wanted someone to grab him and tell him it will be alright as they fucked deep into his cunt, he wanted to forget, he wanted to be himself, he was certain he was something before this.

Before the war

“It's late now; better go home before your father notices ya gone.”

The cold winding closed the door behind him, he walked the empty streets of knockturn, his wand by his side as he slipped the nightshade velvet into his purse; he placed the hood of his cloak back on

The streets have never been this empty before. It's an eerie feeling; the only sounds accompanying him are his footsteps, loud and clear.

Regulus shook his head, sighing as he lifted his head, strong wind blowing his hood off, obscuring his hearing; he huffed as he pulled it back on, the only apparating point in the north of the alley, anti apparating spells covering the grounds enforced by the ministry.

Regulus guesses it’s only about time until the dark lord takes over, and those points are destroyed. He did say something about it in a meeting. Regulus suggested a deflecting charm to help others apparate through the anti-wards.

He said he would test it out before reporting back to the lord.

The dark lord smiled so gently at him, it was unbelievable the smile didn’t fit his face, his handsome yet inhumanly face, coated in white and red, his hair falling out slowly, leaving traces of what had been

Regulus wondered if that was his faith, what had been, what could have been.

What made him truly laugh was the angry gaze Bella had given him; he went to Cissa to tell her, and she laughed loudly as they talked about it, with Lucius rolling his eyes and hiding his laugh.

Bella was always so entertaining.

He sometimes remembered why he did it for his family, when he was with Cissa and her long blonde hair covering him, with Lucius there too when Regulus would go up to him after a meeting and ask if he could pretty please go visit Cissa, and Lucius could never say no to him, because who could say no to his sweet eyes and smile.

To baby black

He could remember someone saying no— very clearly, very angrily pushing him away.

Regulus walked, his hand freezing. He stopped as he heard footsteps behind him. They stopped with him; Regulus tightened his hold on the wand, walking faster; the footsteps followed. Regulus took a deep breath as he took a sharp turn into an alleyway, the footsteps falling behind heavier and louder, moving faster, matching his speed; he took a deep breath and took a sharp turn casting a fire flame as he does, the spell dissolved with difficulty.

Regulus' fire is unmatched. It’s bothersome and angry, taking what Regulus can’t let out and channelling it in its heat.

“Fuck”

The voice Pierces Regulus' ears, making them ring hard. Regulus was startled as he took in the large figure before him.

“James”, Regulus' voice cracked, the name he hadn’t said in years buried deep in his mind. Sometimes, he had to dig it out to ensure it was real.

“Hi,” the man said emotionlessly, unlike his James.

Oh his James

His James, his James, his Alpha

His Alpha

His his his

“What— why are you following me?” Regulus whispered

James got closer, and Regulus almost buckled as he took a deep breath of his Alpha’s scent,

his scent unchanged wood, berries and the forest attacking him, sending him back: his back on the bed, his hand around a larger darker one, holding him tightly, smiles that are so big Regulus dipped his finger in the dimples

“What do you think I’m doing?” James crowded Regulus in, pushing him until Regulus' back hit the wall. Regulus looked up, his eyes moving around, taking the new scar from his eye to his nose, white against his dark skin standing out more.

“I’m asking” Regulus took a deep breath, his heart pounding as he smelt James.

“Haven’t you heard? I’m an auror; I look for sneaky little Omegas, who I know for a fact are death eaters” James grabbed Regulus’ left arm, where his mark is, large hands closing around it completely.

“Last I heard, you got married to a mudblo—“Regulus's breath got knocked out of him as he got smacked on the face.

“Don’t you fucking dare talk about her” James' hands tightened. Regulus' hands went to his cheek; the smack is so expected from his father.

Not James

“Fuck you”, Regulus spat out, slapping James back as hard as he could

James laughed humorlessly as he took his slap, his hand on his jaw as he moved it around; he looked down at Regulus, his brown eyes angry and unbreakable, closed off.

“Your such a piece of shit”, James said before grabbing Regulus by the neck and slamming him into the wall, his hand threatening to cut off his airway.

“And you’re just a gem”, Regulus' voice cracked.

“Shut the fuck up” James tilted down more, his hands tightening around his neck and arm, hurting him.

“You— the one following me around” Regulus gasped each word. He was not looking away from his Alpha, his eyes trained on him, never leaving.

“I will follow you if I want to,” James whispered crazily. Regulus would have gasped at the look on his face, at the crazy if he wasn’t getting suffocated.

“Piss—off—“ Regulus tried to say, but the little oxygen he was getting was not helping

“Piss off? Is that what you’re trying to say?” James laughed as he leaned down slowly until his nose got buried in his hair, the hand on his neck loosening, letting him breathe. Regulus took a deep breath, inhaling fast and quick, greedy for air he had been deprived of

“I hope you fucking die”, Regulus choked, his hand reaching for his neck and meeting James’ hand.

“Umm”, James hummed, his nose going down. Reaching his ear, Regulus' breathing was still heavy, his chest pressed up against James’ as the Alpha's nose bumped against his ear, inhaling his scent.

Regulus gasped as James sucked on his ear slowly, almost afraid.

“How- how do you still smell good” James gritted through his teeth; letting go of his arm, he placed his every arm between Regulus’ head, caging Regulus in

Regulus wrapped his arm around James’ large frame, his hands nervous as they palm at the Alpha’s shoulders, settling at his neck; Regulus sighed as he closed his arms around James’ neck, bringing down and closer until his chest was against James’ with his cloak open in the middle his tits pressed up against him, the thin fabric of his clothes rubbing against James’ covered chest, his nipples getting hard with the touch.

Regulus shivered

“Fuck, no, no”, James whined as he brought Regulus closer.

“Alpha” Regulus moaned, taking a deep breath.

The scent took him back to a place where he felt safe; he felt whole for the first time in his life; he was brought back to his school days, where his worries were his potion exams and waiting for James to show.

“Don’t call me that”, James hissed, but he didn’t let go of Regulus and that’s all the Omega can think about

“Alpha Alpha Alpha”, Regulus whined each word, his lips against James' rough stubbles, rubbing hard against it as he cried his title.

“No, no,” James said as his hands snuck into Regulus’s cloak, touching him from his hips to his back, slowly as if re-learning Regulus's body.

“More, gods more”, Regulus breathed, his hands shaking.

“Shut up— shut up”, James said as his hand went under his dress, reaching for his underwear.

 

“Please, please” Regulus spread his legs open more, shocked to feel slick escaping, not having realized he had gotten wet.

“Black”, James sneered; Regulus slammed his head against James, hard and brutal “the fuck”

“Regulus— Alpha, please, I’m Regulus”, Regulus whispered, kissing the place he hit as an apology.

“Shit, blac—“Regulus didn’t let James finish. A large whine escaped his vocal cords “—Regulus”

Regulus whimpered as James pushed him back, taking his hands out of his dress.

“Shut up”, James said again, his hand reaching for the cloak; he took it away hastily, throwing it aside without a care.

James stood back as he eyed Regulus’ body, his eyes hot as they took every inch of Regulus from the dip of his waist to his hips and tits.

“Alph—“Regulus gasped as James pulled down the straps of his dress, exposing his tits to the cold.

“Fucking Christ”, James hissed as his eyes stayed on Regulus' breasts, pink nipple hard from the air.

“James”, Regulus' chest was falling up and down, slick pouring out him in copious amounts.

“I can’t- I can’t”, James whispered to himself.

“look at me” Regulus tried to get closer, but James held him back, his hands on his shoulder.

“Don’t”, James Snarled, glaring at him; Regulus could see how tired he was, the dark circles under his eyes, the beard he swore he would never grow covering his jaw.

“Jamie”, Regulus grabbed his left arm wi, pushing his tits against them, letting James exposed arms feel his hard nipples.

“I’m— I can’t betray” James looked more paranoid, his eyes looking back to the dark alley.

“I’m so wet” Regulus rubbed his thighs together, moaning at the feeling of his cunt getting any pressure, the article of clothes falling further.

James bit his lips hard until blood dripped out. Regulus moaned. He wanted to reach up and lick it.

Regulus almost cried as James snatched his arms away from the Omega; his eyes widened as the Alpha got on his knees. Regulus immediately started pulling his dress up, but James took control, pushing Regulus' hands away, pushing the dress up further, his head disappearing between his thighs.

Regulus scrambled to push the dress up more, not wanting to miss the image of James between his thighs.

Regulus pulled out his wand and spelled his underwear away, throwing it to the side when he felt James startled; the Alpha relaxed when he heard the wand falling.

“There she is”, James whispered against his cunt. Regulus moaned at James’ breaths hitting his clit

“Please, please”, Regulus Sighed, his hands shaking around the attire.

James placed his mouth on his pussy, immediately sucking at his clit; Regulus jerked and screamed from the overwhelming sensation, electric shock going through his body as he felt James' mouth sucking off his clit, his tongue twirling around, back and forth, left and right, attacking his clit and moaning at the taste of his slick.

James always loved eating him out back then. He would say he tasted like strawberries, like nectar, honey and dew, thick on his tongue, his face between his thighs whenever he got the chance.

“Oh, yes, Alpha,” Regulus closed his eyes as he got eaten out; he could die like this. He could live like this forever at this moment with James between his thighs, eating his cunt like it’s his first meal in years.

Regulus panted as James took hold of his knees, pushing them up one leg at a time until they were both on each side of his shoulders; the only thing supporting his weight was James’ hold and the wall against his back.

“More, please more”, Regulus mewled and let go of the dress, his hand pushing James’ face deeper while the other scratched the brick wall.

His inner thigh already felt raw, the scratch of the Alpha’s beard creating small tears as he feasted on him; Regulus' body moved as much as it could with James’ tongue every flick and lick on his clit sending him to heaven Regulus couldn’t feel the cold anymore with James mouth on him his hands on his hips.

“I missed, fuck fuck Regulus, fuck Omega”, James pulled away, pressing kisses into his inner thighs into his cunt, greeting the space between his thighs, reuniting with his cunt with deep desperation.

“Your Omega, god, it’s yours. I’m yours, Alpha,” Regulus blubbered. He knew he looked a mess, his deep green dress only a line around his stomach, his breasts exposed, his legs open and spread between James’ head.

“Shut up”, James grumbled, open mouth into Regulus' cunt, his head moving up until they reached his omega cock, putting Regulus’ cock inside of his mouth and sucking it; heat covered Regulus' body as he shivered and convulsed, his small cock getting adored by his Alpha.

Regulus liked to die; he wanted to die with James between his thighs.

James pulled his head back before pushing back in, taking Regulus' cock deep inside; it was not large, it was not close to a medium. It only grazed the back of James' throat, and the Alpha loved to suck it, his head bobbing up and down his cock, licking the tip and slit. Regulus wept loudly as he felt his soul get sucked out, the wet hot heat around him making his legs quiver as he felt the pressure build up.

"fucking gods! Jamie! fuck!" Regulus screamed as he gushed from his cock cumming hard while James continued to suck harder and moaned as slick poured down his throat.

“James! I can't please, James fuck” Regulus slammed his head against the wall as he gushed, his breath pushed out of him as he felt James go back to his cunt, big large tongue licking strips, eating him out sloppily with no technique, Regulus mewled as James pushed him forward, his nose on Regulus clit as he went for his hole, licking the slick pouring out.

“Alpha, yes! Yes,” Regulus pushed himself toward James’ nose, both hands on top of James’ head; fisting the messy hair, he locked his legs between James’ head and started moving his hips back and forth, his clit getting rubbed against James’ nose, the burn of his lower body didn’t stop him, his hips moving faster and faster trying to use James’ nose to cum from his cunt

Cumming from his cock is always a treat, but the real prize is the cumming from his cunt with James’ cock dragging inside of his hole, James tongue on his clit or his fingers.

just James, only James

Oh, dear gods, it’s always been James, hasn't it? That’s why he hasn’t looked in anyone’s direction.

Why couldn’t James do the same?

“Uh uh”, Regulus whimpered as James' hand tightened around his hips, dragging Regulus up and down his nose and mouth, helping him get off with his tongue deep inside his hole, swirling around with no real direction.

Regulus pushed his chest out, his tits bouncing along the movement as he felt his body tense up, as the heat in his stomach travelled and danced along with his cunt, his hole throbbing and pulsating around the Alpha’s tongue.

“There there!” Regulus shouted loudly, his voice echoing throughout the alley as he squirted and came, James groaning as Regulus flooded him with his slick; Regulus didn’t stop his hand pulling at James' head as he jerked against James’ nose to ride out his orgasm his eyes shut as he came

 

James pushed Regulus down on the ground; Regulus looked up at the Alpha uselessly from the ground, his body jerking with post-orgasm shakes, his legs trembling as he felt his body shut down; he placed his hand between his cunt, his fingers pushing down on his clit, to take calm it down, pressing down and jerking as he felt another wave hit him.

“Shi—shit”, Regulus whimpered.

The small Omega opened his eyes when he felt the Alpha’s hand on his thigh; Regulus almost cried when he saw James’ cock poking out of his muggle Jean, long and hard and dark and angry and just his.

James' cock is his he doesn’t understand anything else.

“I’m going to fuck you”, James huskily stated as he opened Regulus legs.

Regulus cried and opened his legs willingly, his cunt clenching and unclenching around nothing as the Alpha closed in on him, his body covering his

“Please, please”, Regulus implored as he wrapped his legs around the Alpha’s waist, uncaring that he was on the dirty fucking floor of an alley. Nothing mattered, he thought. As the tip of the big cock pressed against his opening, nothing else mattered.

“No one can get your legs shaking like I do, huh” James grunted In his ears as he pushed inside of his pussy; slowly, agonizingly, the large rod greeted the walls that always welcomed him with easy, wet and warm and tight for him.

“No one, oh god, no one” Regulus pushed out his chest and groaned when James' lips closed around his nipples, sucking at his right tit hard as he thrust in and out slowly, the sounds coming off Regulus’ pussy echoing throughout the alley, letting anyone walking by know of the things happening in it, letting everybody know how happy his cunt is to let the Alpha' cock inside of it

“That’s it”, James grunted against his tits “that’s the fucking rub.”

“Ugh- ugh”, Regulus cried as James' steady thrusting grew harder and sharper, slamming in and out of him with practice easy, his cunt pulsating around the cock.

The last time this happened was years ago when they were together. The last thing that penetrated him belonged to James and only James. He can’t let anyone else inside.

And when the Alpha got married, Regulus thought nothing would be alright, that he should let someone else be with him.

He’s so wrong; he can’t let anyone in, not Philip, not Barty; after he begged when Evan died, and Regulus had to knock him out with a potion, not the dark lord, no one, no one but the Alpha pounding him right now, making him see the stars he was named after with every slam.

The tip of his cock dragged inside of his hole; he welcomed the whole shaft that was pushing in and out, hitting his cervix with every thrust.

Regulus let out a cry with every thrust, his legs shaking around James' waist as slick gushed out of him for the third time. “Fuck my cunt”, Regulus groaned, moving his hips with James.

“Missed my c—cock, huh” James rasped against his ears, his hands replacing his mouth as he touched his tits

“M-missed it” Regulus nodded, tears streaming down his face as James brutalized his cunt and cervix, opening it with every thrust, slick pouring out to help with the process, covering James’ jeans and clothes, marking him in his Omega’ scent.

“You’re a fucking death eater whore”, James groaned, pushing his body down against Regulus body, his hands going under his shoulder as he pulled his waist up before slamming down, his cock coming out shiny with every thrust, creamy around the edges as old slick get smack between their skin with every thrust.

“ whore”, Regulus repeated, not knowing what to say; the only he could think about was the cock inside of him.

“Yes, a whore, that's what you are” James bobbed his head, his face against Regulus, his eyes hot as he stared into Regulus' eyes while thrusting, his tits bouncing with each pound.

"I love-"

" shut. The. fuck. up." James fucked every word into Regulus with a hard thrust, making Regulus scream with every word

Regulus swallowed. "Jam-Jamie, ple-"

"stop talking", James ordered, shutting Regulus up immediately; the Omega's mouth shut tightly, and James started to lick Regulus' face, nose and eyelids, and his tears, his whole face covered in the Alpha’s spit.

"my whore, say it", James grunted, pushing his cock until the tip was inside before fucking the whole shaft inside.

“I’m— whore”, Regulus wailed as his body got fucked, James’ shirt rubbing against his exposed tits, stimulating him further and further.

“Cum”, James demanded in his ears; Regulus' mouth dropped open as he came again, tears streaming down as he squirted from his clit, as he gushed from his hole as a pathetic amount of Omega’ slick escaped his small cock

“am aha um ngh” Nonsense left Regulus’ mouth when it managed to close it

James pushed deeper, his hips against Regulus's; the Omega opened his jaw opening wider until he heard it crack as James entered his cervix, brutal cock pressing into his womb with no trouble.

A silent scream is the only thing Regulus could do as James slammed in and out the womb, groaning and shouting against Regulus’ ears, calling him a whore, a death eater, a slag, a cunt, a cockslut

“That’s fucking it, tight fucking womb”, James voice broke as he started rolling his cock, grinding deep into his cervix.

Regulus couldn't feel anything in any part of his body except for his hole, the pulsating walls around the cock, the slick under his ass as James pushed whatever fluids in his cunt out with his cock, his knot pulling in and out in a hurry, tugging at his opening, not making Regulus think, not making him process anything.

“Take my fucking knot”, James hissed against his ears. “Take it”

“Y— ye— y” Regulus gave up trying to talk; his eyes wide as he stared at the stars in the night sky above; James grunted and moaned next to his ears, his cunt letting out the most obscene squelching noise, sucking the knot in, tears falling down as he came again from his hole easing the path for the knot

“Omega”, James spat out as he started slamming his growing knot in and out, letting it out with a hard tug before bullying its way back in. Regulus knew his legs were shaking, but he couldn’t feel them anymore.

“I— ca— I-I” Regulus shook his head, his nails digging into the Alpha’s shoulder blades through the shirt.

“Shhh, don’t sp-speak. Let that tight pussy do all the talking”, James said with desperation, his ever-growing knot fucking him.

“I—AH” Regulus screamed his heart out when James finally pushed his knot with a deep Alpha groan, his hips moving in every direction as Regulus felt hot boiling cum fill his womb in his body, pouring so much sperm inside of him he thought it would start coming out of his mouth.

“Oh god”, James whined, his hips dancing in a circular motion as he came, letting out all the bent-up rage inside of Regulus.

“Al-alp— ugh”, Regulus cried more, feeling the knot push at the gland inside of his cunt; Stream of cum escaped the Omega's cock without a warning since the Alpha knotted him, his cunt squirting and pulsating around the knot, doing its best to milk the knot inside.

Regulus is going to die, he thought as his version began to turn black.

He’s going to die on his Alpha’s cock, and he’s happy.

He’s so happy to die on his cock

-

Regulus came back to himself as he felt wet kisses against his face and neck, travelling to his breasts, taking each one in his mouth and sucking at them softly before letting go and sucking the other.

“Um”, Regulus purred, vibrating while stretching his arms, letting blood flow; he let out a happy chipper occasionally as he got loved on by his Alpha.

“Good Omega”, his Alpha praised him; Regulus let out a louder chipper, purring louder “So good, darling.”

His Alpha hand went under his back, reaching his ass and grabbing each buttcheek in his hands, squeezing them as he came inside Regulus.

-

“Black”

Regulus opened his eyes and met James.’

“What”

“I’m pulling out.”

Regulus missed the whole knotting session because he went to his Omega space.

“Don’t” Regulus begged.

“Don’t do this” James frowned.

“Don’t leave me, Alpha, please”, Regulus begged.

“Don’t,” James said as he pulled out slowly.

“No! No!” Regulus' hand reached for his Alpha as he pulled away.

“Don’t do this” James pushed his cock back inside of his jeans, pulling the zipper up. The jeans had a large dark stain on them.

“James” Regulus was sluggish, he was slow and fucked out for the first time in years, and he didn’t know what to do.

“Please”, James begged; Regulus mouth shut as he heard his Alpha beg “" Please don’t do this.”

“Don’t leave” Regulus looked through his wet lashes; his dress was still scrunched into a thick uncomfortable line around his stomach, his tits out and cunt pouring out an hour's worth of cum in an alley.

Regulus didn’t care.

He didn’t care that his father would kill him for this and that his mother was probably rolling in his grave.

“Please”, James begged, putting his hand on Regulus' cheeks “please.”

“Alpha”

There were no words.

There was nothing left.

“My wonderful, beautiful beauty,” his Alpha said.

Regulus shook his head. “Wonderful, beautiful Omega”, he corrected.

“I’m sorry” James began to fix his dress, pulling it out of its state, the thin fabric opening under the Alpha’s touch; Regulus let him if only he would stay longer. He let him fix the straps and pull them back up to cover his tiny chest. He grabbed the Alpha wand and pushed it away when he tried to vanish his cum

The Alpha nodded, grabbing his glasses and placing them on the palm of his hand, transfiguring them into a beautiful gold and green plug. Regulus slowly opened his shaking legs, whimpering when he felt the hard plug pushed into his cunt, opening his raw hole and pressing against his walls before setting in, doing its job of keeping the cum inside.

His Alphas’ cum

“You're not” James wiped Regulus’ tears away. “You’re not my Omega anymore.”

Regulus felt his chest crack open as tears began pouring out of his eyes, heartbroken and torn.

“I am”, Regulus stuttered “, because— because you won’t- fuck me if I wasn’t.”

James looked away, wiping his own tears away 

“James, James, stay, stay with me” Regulus grabbed onto James arms holding it tightly.

James stared at him, eyes hard and tearful “it’s too late, I asked you to stay, you didn’t want too”

“I’m sorry I’m sorry I wasn’t thinking” Regulus said in a low voice “please I was wrong”

James laughed humorlessly “I wanted you to say that for years”

“I’m saying it now” Regulus wiped the silent tears dripping down his face.

“I’m sorry” 

That was the last thing James ever said to him. 

Regulus didn’t know he had a one-year-old son; it wasn’t public news, and he didn’t know who ratted his Alpha out. 

They said it was Sirius, but Regulus laughed at that.

He laughed alone because he killed his father. 

Regulus gave birth to a son who had an older half-brother. 

Regulus would look at his son and see his brother in him; he looked just like his uncle, with a darker skin tone and brown eyes. 

“Leo, can you say it? L-e-o, My wonderful, beautiful lion,” Regulus whispered against his son’s curly hair, so much like his own 

Regulus loved his son, his family. 

He buried James away. 

Some mistakes aren’t worth digging up
