Work Text:
Mira, Zoey and Rumi tiredly arrived at their nearby grocery store, they needed to fill up on snacks and actual groceries for the week. Huntr/x had scheduled voice lessons all day, and they were all craving hot pot to sooth their overused voices.
The three wore their usual disguises so they didn't get recognized by fans. Rumi in her usual hoodie and jeans with the hood on, Zoey in her hoodie and shorts alongside a bucket hat, and Mira wore a stylish outfit but with an addition of a cap.
The girls dragged themselves through all the isles, Zoey riding on the side of the cart, Mira pushing the cart and Rumi holding onto Mira. They were finishing with the frozen meats before deciding to head home after. Rumi had stayed by her alpha’s sides the whole way — too drained from the work today, she trusted them to guide her everywhere.
At some point Zoey snuck away, probably looking for more snacks or ice cream. It happens a lot where the youngest alpha would disappear at the store since she got distracted by everything and ended up lost causing the girls to look for her most of the time. Mira and Rumi both sighed when they noticed.
“I’ll go get her,” Mira said, making sure to scent and kiss Rumi before walking away. “We’ll meet you at the checkout”
Rumi fluttered, relaxing in the scent of her alpha. She made her way over to the checkout with their shopping cart and waited in the short line. The omega got a little anxious when it was her turn to pay and her alphas still haven't shown up.
She waited at the empty attached cafe with the paid cart full of groceries next to her — she’ll be able to see her partners from here if they show up at the checkout.
The smell hit her first.
The aggressive tone of an alpha in pre-rut.
She was so distracted by Mira’s scent that she didn’t smell it quickly enough.
Her body instinctively moved to get out of there.
“Omega” A deep voice rumbled from behind her. She paused without wanting to before continuing to roll their shopping cart away from the invasive smell.
Maybe he wasn't talking to her
A hand gripped her shoulder, spinning her to face the middle aged alpha. His scent was more intrusive face to face, Rumi held her breath.
“Get off me please” Rumi pushed his hand away and stepped back only to hit the parked shopping cart.
“Know your place Omega” His arm came up, too close, too fast. Her mind was too muffled by the smell, she was too off her game. Her head hit a nearby table and a sharp pain emerged in her head. She felt hints of pulses from her mates.
She looked up at the alpha, who now stood over her, fear in her eyes as she felt blood trickle down her head and drop onto her hoodie.
Through blurry vision she looked for an escape and her eyes met her alphas’ from across the store. She instantly sent out distressing signals.
She moved as fast as she could towards her mates — towards what’s safe.
Unexpectedly a pain appeared from her neck and her body went uncontrollably limp in the grip.
She couldn’t move…
“Omegas these days are just asking for it” He sounded angry and his scent changed. Like an alpha that had won.
How dare he
She couldn’t move as long as he was scruffing her, just tears and blood dripping onto the dirty grocery store floor. She cursed her nature, cursed the man who was violating her.
“They go out with just the scent of their alpha trusting that to keep the more dominant alphas away” He moved her closer to him, her head protested at the movement, she didn’t know how close he was until she could feel his breath on the back of her neck.
Someone help
Rumi couldn’t even look up, her head wouldn’t move.
White sneakers appeared in her vision before she was dropped into someone’s hands. She was immediately scented — sea water and chocolate, Rumi once joked that she was like a salted chocolate bar. The familiar smell calmed her, Rumi’s hand came up to clench onto the piece of fabric, her grip trembled but no one commented on it.
It was Zoey’s hoodie — she looked up through her blurry vision.
“You’ll be okay, don’t worry” She was brought up to Zoey’s neck, letting the alpha's scent relax her limbs willingly.
Her ears were ringing
She could hear a fight in the back, Rumi could recognize Mira’s voice and other strangers’ layering onto her lover’s voice.
“I wan’ go home,” Rumi pleaded in Zoey’s ear, the younger held her tighter. “Tell Mi I wan’ go home” The omega felt the blood being wiped off her cheek.
“Okay princess” Zoey whispered and covered Rumi's ear before she yelled. “Mira, let’s go.”
“We will be pressing charges” Rumi heard Mira yell before the dancer’s scent entered their space — peppermint, refreshing with an undertone of spice.
Without a word Mira carried her close to her chest and Zoey's hand found hers.
Rumi was tired, she felt her eyes drooping lower with every step Mira took.
She didn’t wake up until much after they arrived back at their penthouse. She was wearing more comfortable clothes now, two scents calmed over her, two sources of heat were on each side.
“Rumi?” The leader's eyes traveled up to the source of the voice.
“Does it hurt?” Mira said, her bandaged hand tucking a strand of hair behind Rumi’s ear. Rumi took notice of the bandage by her own temple, she reached up to touch it, only to hiss at the pain.
Mira held onto Rumi’s hand, bringing it away from the wound.
“Don't touch it” A voice behind her grumbled, sleep tainted the usually high pitched voice. Zoey lazily wrapped her hand around Rumi’s waist.
“Is he-” Rumi started, concern and fear lacing her voice. Mira and Zoey's grip tightened around Rumi.
“You don't have to worry about it anymore, Bobby will take care of it, and we will make sure no one hurts you again” Mira's eyes locked with Rumi’s, it was nothing but honest.
Rumi breathed and her body settled into the comfort of her girlfriends’ bodies.
“How are you feeling?”
“Safe”
