“I can’t feel my face,” Katie laughed hysterical while squeezing and stretching her poor checks.

The young woman was at the moment being carried in bridal-style, her best friend holding her in his arms.

“You’re a complete idiot! What the fuck were you thinking?”

“And you’re boring, Dorian Winston McCallister! Boring, booooring!”

Dorian raised his eyebrows and glanced at the brown-haired woman.

“And you’re dumb. Who the hell takes mushrooms from a total stranger?”

“But, he was hot,” Katie said like it was a good reason enough.

Dorian sighed and resumed walking toward the exit. Katie’s slender body weight almost nothing in his big strong arms. But while he walked, the short dress Katie wore had him occupied. He struggled with keeping the white dress over her bum, getting more infuriated as they walked.

The festival they were at was huge, and it had taken him a long time to get from the stage where he found Katie and a stranger almost having sex in the middle of the crowd. Just moments earlier, Dorian had lost track of Finian, and he was feeling stressed as fuck.

Dorian just wanted to go back to his boyfriend.

Finally, at the exit, Dorian saw Leo standing with his arms crossed over his chest and an annoyed expression on his face. The look the alpha gave his little sister made Dorian shiver uncomfortable, and he was glad that he wasn’t Katie right now.

“Thanks for picking her up. I didn’t know what to do with her.”

Dorian put Katie down on the ground, but the brunette girl just fell over, laughing like mad.

“My legs are jelly,” she sang with a childish voice.

Her brother groaned and pulled his hand through his thick long hair.

“Good thing you called me and not our parents. That would have been unpleasant.”

Dorian agreed. He had grown up with Katie and Leo, and he knew how strict their parents were. Katie wasn’t even supposed to be at this festival. Good thing, Leo lived just nearby.

“Can I pick her up tomorrow?”

Leo nodded and dragged his little sister up from the ground.

“Yeah, that sounds good. But where’s Finian?” Leo asked, sounding worried.

Dorian and Finian hade been inseparable since they were little. Just seeing Dorian alone made Leo anxious.

“We got separated, and then I had to take care of your sister. I’m going to go look for him now!”

“Call me if anything happens,” Leo said and lifted Katie over his shoulder, the woman giggling.

The two men said their farewells, and Dorian rushed quickly through the gates again. This festival was one of the UK’s biggest Dance Music festivals, and it was completely crowded with people. It was the festival’s second day, and drunk and stoned people were everywhere. Some people were sleeping right in the middle of the crowd; others were having sex.

The place was chaotic, and it left Dorian with a bad feeling. Finian would have never disappeared from him voluntarily, and he wasn’t drunk. Dorian and Finian were hungover from last night’s heavy drinking, so they smoked some pot when they woke up, to kill the worst hungover. But it wasn’t much.

Dorian began to search after his boyfriend, but he couldn’t find Finian anywhere. Dorian started to panic. It was when he was running towards the security guards at the main stage that Dorian collided with someone and stumbled to the ground. Dorian looked up, and when his big eyes grew with surprise, the young man looked ridiculous.

“Elliot?”

His friend from college stood over him, winching in pain while he massaged his forehead. The brown-haired man realized who he just crashed in to and he smiled.

“Of course, it’s you! It felt like running headfirst into a fucking brick wall. Stop hitting the gym; you can’t get any fitter.”

That made Dorian snicker, and he got up on his legs again.

“Are you hurt?”

“Nah, not really. Why are you running around like crazy?” Elliot suddenly realized something, and he looked around.

“Where’s Finian?”

Elliot had known Dorian for about a year, and the two hit it off immediately; their love for music was one of the reasons. On several occasions had Elliot meet Finian, and he knew that where ever Dorian went, the red-haired man was right next to him.

Dorian told him everything, and even Elliot started to worry. Finian was level-headed; he would never disappear like this. Elliot offered to help his friend, and they went towards the scenes.

That’s when Dorian suddenly could smell a scent he knew all too well, and he froze, paralyzed by fear. Coffee and dark chocolate, the smell he loved so much. But it shouldn’t be here. With his heart beating like crazy, Dorian followed the scent as it got stronger the closer, he got the main stage. A famous DJ was playing, and it was crowded in front of the stage, but Dorian rammed right through, not caring about the people he pushed out of his way. And Dorian was looking pretty threatening, so no one even dared to approach him. Elliot just followed in his footsteps.

He got to the fence surrounding the stage and jumped over it, making a guard scream at him. Dorian was both taller and bigger than the man, and the way he glared at him, made even the guard hesitate if he should intervene. That second gave Dorian a head start, and he rushed behind the stage, towards the dressing room. One guard was in front of the door, and he could hear other guards from behind shout at him, demanding him to stop.

Dorian didn’t care; he just ran up to the guard, a beta that was not prepared to have a face-off with an enraged Prime-Alpha, and the guard just threw his hands up in the air and quickly walked away.

Dorian pulled the door open, and the scent from his love was so strong that it almost took his breath away. What he saw there made his heart stop, and still to this day, fifteen years later, Dorian could start crying just by the thought of it.

Finian was laying naked on the floor, tied up with ropes around his arms and legs, even a rope was around his neck. He was on all four, a large man stood on his knees behind him, thrusting into Finian while holding the rope around his neck, like a dog on a leash. And in front of him was a man with his cock in Finian’s mouth.

Dorian could hear the sobs from his beloved; he could see the tears streaming down Finian’s painfilled face. And Dorian lost it.

Behind him, Elliot was frozen in shock. He saw that Finian was being raped, but somehow it didn’t register until he felt an almost crushing aura coming from Dorian. That made him snap out of the shock, and Elliot rushed toward Finian, screaming for dear life, ”Get the police!”

Elliot didn’t manage to get more than a few steps before he heard an unnatural deep growl coming from the Prime Alpha. It sounded like some creature from the deepest level of hell, and it scared the shit out of Elliot.

Dorian jumped the man closes to him; he was trying to run away, cock out and all. But Dorian grabbed him by one hand and beat him with the other. Punch after punch, the sounds of bones breaking and teeth shattering filled the room. Dorian’s eyes were bright yellow, and for the first time in his life, his fangs were showing.

Dorian wanted to kill the fucker! It was a new feeling for Dorian, this kind of hate. But he managed to stop before he killed the man. He was that strong of a person!

Dorian didn’t notice the room was getting crowded with people, guards, and others. Dorian didn’t care. He set his eyes on the other man. Damn, Dorian recognized him, the man was a famous American DJ, and the bastard was terrified. By all rights, Dorian looked as he would kill him.

Several guards were holding the DJ, but Dorian didn’t care.

“Give him to me!” Dorian growled, taking a step towards them. The guards flinched but didn’t comply.

“Dorian, please.”

It was Finians trembling weak voice that made Dorian come to his senses, and Dorian dropped his gaze toward the floor.

Elliot’s shirt covered Finian’s naked and bruised body, and his friend was sitting on the floor and held Dorian’s boyfriend in his arms.

Dorian was by Finian’s side in an instant, and he took his love in his arms. Both men were crying. Finian trembled violently and was so very hot.

“Have they given you anything?” Dorian asked, his voice trembling, and Finian knew he was referring to drugs.

Finian nodded and whispered:

“A rut inducing pill.”

Dorian understood immediately why he had felt Finian’s scent so clearly, and burning hatred filled him up once again. If he hadn’t been holding Finian in his arms, then he would have killed the fucking rapist right there, no matter the consequences. But he couldn’t leave Finian.

Suddenly the famous DJ slipt through the guard’s grip and tried to run out of the room. Elliot tackled him, shoulder first. The man lay on the floor, Elliot on him, and he head-butted him right in his face. Elliot was about to punch him, but the police officers arrived at the scene, and they immediately broke up the fight.

Around Finian and Dorian, chaos erupted. But the two men didn’t care about any of that. All they cared about was to comfort each other.

Finian was taken to the hospital for treatment, Dorian and Elliot followed him. Everything hurt! Finian bled from the wounds that the rope had cut, and he was still affected by the rut inducing drug. He had been given suppressant to calm down the worse of it, but it didn’t help.

When they were at the hospital, Finian had asked Dorian for help. He hated it, he felt disgusting, like he was a sick, twisted person, but Finian couldn’t stand it. The rut was burning inside him.

Elliot went to the café, and Dorian talked to the nurses, who understood and promised to leave them alone. He may have seemed confident to others, but Dorian was really uncomfortable. He was scared that he would hurt his love, but Dorian climbed onto the bed, and while holding Finian close in his arm, whispering soothing words, he helped Finian come.

Finian was crying in his boyfriend’s chest, saying, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

Dorian kissed his temple.

“You have done nothing wrong, my love. You’re the victim here. I promise you; I won’t let anyone ever hurt you again.”

But it took a long time before Finian started to feel good about himself again. After the hospital visit, where he got examined, his wounds bandaged, and the fissures in his rectum treated, they went home, and Finian didn’t leave their apartment for several days. Dorian was always there by his side. Through the hearing with the police, the consultation with the advisors from SARCs, and the trial. The offender tried to sue Dorian for assault, but Dorian’s lawyer quickly took care of that business.

It took Finian several years to start feeling safe, and it was all thanks to the counseling and the support of his family and friends. Being an alpha who was raped by two other alphas wasn’t a usual thing, and at first, Finian felt a lot of shame.

It was tough for Finian to talk about what had happened, but he had no other choice, the investigation required it.

Finian had been searching after Dorian, but couldn’t find him anywhere. Suddenly when he was close to scenes, two older men with blond hair started to talk to him. They were persistent and wouldn’t leave the younger man alone. He clearly showed no interest, telling them to leave him alone. But in the middle of the crowd, the two men managed to inject Finian with the drug, using a syringe.

Finian panicked when he felt the prickle of the needle and tried to cry for help, but the two men dragged him away. People around him didn’t notice anything, nor did they care.

They took him backstage, and they stripped Finians of his clothes. And just for fun the ’fun of it', they tied him up with ropes.

Finian was utterly terrified and panicking. He tried to fight them, but together the two men were stronger than him, and with the drug spreading throughout his system, he had no chance to overcome them. When they started, Finian was affected by the drug, and even though he knew that he didn’t want this, he couldn’t help feeling aroused.

That was perhaps the thing that hurt Finian the most, and he hated himself for it, feeling a lot of shame. Like he’d been cheating on Dorian, and it didn’t matter at all what Dorian said to comfort him. Finian didn’t feel better about it. Not until Finian started talking with other rape victims, and slowly, Finian started to heal.

It took a long time for Finian to be able to be alone, and it took an even longer time for him to have intercourse with Dorian. What helped was Dorian’s love and consideration. And the first time they had sex after the rape, Finian was for the first time ‘top.’ It had been Dorian’s suggestion, and Finian didn’t know what to feel. At first, he had felt bad for Dorian, but seeing his love under him, in a way he had never seen before, it made him so incredibly horny. Dorian was moaning while Finian thrust his cock inside of him, a feeling none of them felt before.

That showed how much Dorian loved Finian. He, a Prime-Alpha, completely submitting himself to his mate. It was a rare thing for a Prime-Alpha as himself.

Letting someone dominate him like that and if Dorian had to be honest, he didn’t like it. But there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for his Finian. And after a few times, they suddenly switched back in the middle of an ‘act,’ with Dorian on top, and Finian was happy about it.

Finian’s trust never once wavered, he had complete faith in Dorian. And Dorian promised Finian that he wouldn’t let anything hurt his beloved. And fifteen years later, that promise was still as important as ever.
